STOMACH
POWDERS
KILL HIM

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-The
authorities are investigating the
death of Harry Boas, age 81, found
dead in bed today after swallowing
stomach powders" sent through
the mail by person signing
Charles McHawer, M. D., San
Jose"
Boas formerly lived in San Jose
and was western representative OF
the Bennett Electric Co. The pow.
ders are being analysed. In a let,
ter accompanying the powders
"McHawer" wrote that he sent his
powders to cure the indigestion of
which Boas complained.
Boas lived with his mother and
sister. He received the following
letter:
Having been requested by
friends of yours and mine in San
Jose to send my relief for stomach
trouble l take pleasure in doing
so.
II am told you are continuously
bothered with indigestion. The
two powders enclosed will not only
give relief but will cure your
ailment, being composed of catay,
which is the greatest of all re,
movers of all food which gathers
on the alimentary canal leading to
the stomach.
1T is advisable not to wait until
you are bothered again, as it is
that which makes it harder to re-
move the matter which has already
gathered, thereby retaining other
matter.
IF you take the powders mixed
together, followed by glass of
water or whiskey before retiring
| can assure you of cure. This
medicine has brought cure in sew
eral cases.
Kindly excuse the haste in
which they were put up because
had forgotten them until the last
moment.
Hoping to have done you a ser
vice, l remain, yours respectfully
Charles McHawer."
DR.. McHawer is known in San
ose and San Francisco.
DIR. j. F. Clark examined Boas'
body. He performed an autopsy
in a vain efford To learn what
caused death.
He discovered nothing to show
the cause of death and no signs OF
the powders.

DEL|NQUEN1s
ARE FEW

County Treasurer Ed Irwin
states that the final payment OF
taxes, which closed Monday last,
left only small per centage OF
delinquency and that the Novem'
Der tax collections this year show
a good increase over the same
month last year.
Delinquents have until the first
of next June to pay up the unpaid
taxes and thereby avoid the posi-
bility of the sale of their property
for taxes. Sales for delinquent
taxes run three years before being
finally foreclosed, during which
time the owner Of the property
may pay up the tax liens.
Tax sales in late years have not
been SO numerous as they were a
few years ago.
County Treasurer Erwin today
stated that he had not yet made
up his mind what he would do at
the close of his term of office, but
that he had two propositions under
consideration. Mr.. Erwin came
about as near being the treasurer
of the state of Washington as 1t is
a mans lot to get and still lose the
prize. He was beaten in the Sep.
TENDER primaries by $40 votes, his
successful opponent, Lewis, being
elected by the regular majority at
the November election.

LED ASTRAY BY
WOMAN CROOK
Hackman Furnishes Clew
to Pretty Young Forger's
Companion.

When Mrs. A. G.. Daniels, the
young forger, attempted to cash a
bogus check ON Hoyt Bros, the
florists, and made her escape in a
hack, there was another woman in
the hack and this woman is now
sought by the entire detective
force.
1t is believed that she is a
hardened criminal who induced
Mrs. Daniels, who is only 10 years
old, to commit the forgeries.
Working on this theory, the po-
lice have abandoned the theory
that there was a man in the case,
and are bending all their present
efforts to locate this second wom-
an. They have fair description
of her from the hackman. The
hackman, by the way, was also
buncoed to the extent of not get
ting his So fare.
Mrs. Daniels refuses to divulge
the name Of her companion. Her
foster father, Rev. c. M. Meter, of
Newport, Wash, who raised her
among religious and respectable
surroundings, used his influence to
get the woman to inform on her
companion. Mrs. Daniels refused
even him. Rev. H. I. Rasmus used
his influence also to no avail. The
girl is still In Jail.

Such was the verdict returned
at II o'clock this morning in the
case against Harry Warren for
shooting his wife, Marie Warren
with intent to kill, last July at the
Natatorium park dance hall.
The jury deliberated on the
case for nearly IL hours. some
members being of the impression
that Warren ought to be released
on his plea of insanity. The rec

which those favoring Warren's &C
