will be drawn in August, next year.
These 5000 apofntees Will receive

WOMAN
RELEASED

Miss Pauline Benz, who was ar
rested in Ellensburg Saturday aft
ernon and brought to Tacoma last
night charged with robbing the
room of Miss Bessie Hunter at the
Bostwick hotel, was released by
the police late this afternoon.
Miss Benz had nothing but suit
case with her when arrested and
proved conclusively that she had
considered leaving the city early
last week.
The police were positive that
she was the right party and she
was to have faced the court this
afternoon on burglary charge,
but Miss Hunter appered and
withdrew her complaint after
hearing Miss Benz story.
The young lady stated today
that she would remain in the city
instead of going East again.
