Poor Fellow!

A Tacoma dispatch gives an &C.
count of q young man declaring that
he would rather suffer any punish
ment the court might mete out to
him than divulge the name and ad-
dress of his parents and thereby bring
disgrace upon his family. He gave the
fictitious name of B. Travis on sur
rendering to the police Sunday night
before he had succeeded in turning
highwayman, and in the Police Court
pleaded guilty to the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons. He has
been receiving $500 month, but last
week was cut off by his father. He
is a college man from New York and
has never done days work. Judge
Arnston will try to get him situa-

Death From Pickles.

The adage that you must go away
from home to hear the news is illus
trated by this clipping from the
P.-L, dated Olympia, May Sd: "A
father calling to examine the body of
his dead son, to set at rest sensa-
tional stories and suspicious that o
female relative had been the cause of
the child's death, was the unique
happening here which followed the
sudden death of John Allen Carter,
the 14-months old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. l. T. Carter. The mother of
the dead child said that on, several
occasions the child's aunt had han
died the infant while calling at the
house, and declared that the visitor
had caused the death Of the child by
pressure on the delicate skull of the
infant. These charges were made SO
strongly that Coroner Marnell caused
an autopsy to be made. Following
this the parents were called in and
shown how impossible it was that
death could have resulted from the
cause charged. The opening in the
skull was unusually small. The ply
sician who conducted the autopsy
declares the baby died of commissions
resulting from improper nourish-
ment. 1t came out during the in
yestigation, the Coroner says, that
the parents fed the baby pickles and
similar indigestible food"

Our little jerk-water railroad en-
joys a distinction that some of Our

urday night with q blazing comet
tail attached, which glowed with an
intensity that correspondent with the
wonderful speed that it was flying
through space. The very general
opinion expressed that ignition was
caused by friction of the air, is hard
ly tenable although astronomic re-
search has shown that it may be pos
sible on the confines of interstellar
space, and it is quite probable that
the flames originated from sparks
from the smOke-stack hurled with
astounding force while engaged in a
mile-a-minute stunt. Later - The
same logging train came in yesterday
about noon with another blazing car
of logs and scattering fire all along
the trestle. The chemical engine
went to relief of the burning car and
small hose stream and buckets of
water subdued the flames. Will this
unique experience continue?
