OF SHERIFF
KILLS HERSELF

BELLINGHAM, Nov. 13.-Mrs.
Andrew Williams, wife of the sher-
iff of Whatcom county, committed
suicide tonight at 7:15 in the base
ment of the courthouse by shoot
ing herself in the right temple.
The tragedy is the result OF pro-

of her daughter last July. The
mother had been in constant at
tendance at the sick bed of her
child for IS months. The strain
brought on a state of nervous pros
tration which. with illness at the

Mrs. Williams to condition of

AUNT HAS ALSO

Another mystery has developed
in the Mcdonald children case
through the disappearance of Mrs.

missing. A subpoena is out for
Mrs. Mcdonald but the only infor-
nation obtainable about her now

him for adjudication between the
aunt and uncle on one side and the
reunited father and mother on the
other.

TO CALL UPON
NUzUM

! Current opinion among Spokane
attorneys in regard to the Gordon
shortage matter and subsequent
rumors affecting Judge Root of the
state supreme court is that II evi.
dence in substantiation exists it is
I'm possession of Nuzum & Nuzum,
attorneys of this city. II is stated
that the rumors resulting in the
supreme courts call for an investi-
cation are believed to have started
from statements made by members
of the Nuzum firm concerning let
tiers they had containing incrimi-
mating evidence.
When the State Bar association
meets to formally take up the mat
ter, it is expected that Nuzum &
Nuzum will be called upon to either
produce any evidence they may
have or prove that none exists or
has existed.
The Nuzum brothers deny that
they have ever given grounds for
the supposition that they possessed
documents of nature rejecting on
Judge Gordon or his relations with
the supreme court A member of
the firm also made the statement
that he would not appear before
the bar association commission in
the capacity of a witness, holding
that this body had no power to
compel testimony, and that the
Nuzums had none to offer.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 13.-Gov-

He said: 4,

the idea that he will be here to
take the oath of Office at the expira-

"Cosgrove told me he was going
to recover and serve his term out"
The general impression is that
Cosgrove went to California with
the understanding that If he did
not recover in time Mead would

being very rich. Afterward A. N. G..
