Glory Of wiz Flowers.

Nothing is more bewildering TO North
erner travelling in the Southwest than the
endless wealth OF wild flowers. One morn
ing. says a writer In the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. you drive through the woods
and see nothing but the usual green OF
winter: two days after. on the same road.
you behold afar what seems 10 be a huge
white sheet showing through the tree
trunks and bushes. It is not a sheet;
merely q solid curtain OF Cherokee roses,
wsxy white. fragrant, and blooming so
thickly that only here and there is any
green to be- seen. A big dead tree that
has been showing gray and hi6eous for
months turns overnight into an enormous
purple bouquet 1t is the york OF wis
taria, sending down showers Of lavender
sweetness with every pun OF wind. Sweet
olive, bridal wreath, with jasmine and
fifty others rush into prodigality OF
bloom that seems a wicked. delightful ex-
travagance TO Northern eyes. and the
noble army OF lilies marches up the side
OF each path and waves its banners be-
meath every wall.

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-02-05

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. A.
A pitiful and tragic story of a
young girls betrayal and a broth
er's swift vengeance is about to
be unfolded in this city, with the
Opening of the trial of VIM. Nit
chell, youth 10 years old, who,
early last month, shot down his
old friend, Cecil Thayer, 10, be-
cause of wrong done his sister
Ethel, beautiful girl of 16.
The "unwritten law" will be the
defense. No other Is possible, and
it will be phase of the ''unwrit-
ten law" entirely new in this city
that the attaches OF the district
attorneys office will nave to COM
bat.
The ethics of the "higher law"
have often been exploited in Los
Angeles county, but always in the
interests of an outraged father,
husband or wife. This time it will
be the brother.
Before the incidents that led to
the death of young Thayer, a warm
friendship had existed between the
Mitchell and Thayer families for
two years. William and Cecil had
been bosom friends. Nor did
Thayer confine his comradeship to
young Mitchell. There was still
another to whom he became at
tached-Ethel, the 16-year-old
daughter, the sunshine of the
Mitchell home.
There were secret meetin ps
They were discovered and when
Ethel, in a confession to her par
ents, sobbed out the story of init

Garlic Gaming.

Richard earle, recognized as
one of the best Yankee authors,
composers and comedians, will
make his first appearance in Ia
coma on May I and 2 at the Ia
coma theater. He will remain
two days with his musical COM
edy, "Mary's Lamb" Mr.. earle
will bring a fine company and a
large chorus.
Brewster's Millions.
"Brewster's Millions" which
will be presented by the Cohan &
Harris comedians with Robert
Ober in the principal role of
Monty Brewster, will be the bill at
the Tacoma theater Sunday and
Monday nights. The play is de-
scribed as a most delightful farce,
with great spectacular third act,
representing the wrecking of an
auxiliary zach In mid-ocean. There
has been quite a demand for seats
and 1t looks as If s. r. o. will rule
during the engagement.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-02-05

mate relations with Thayer, hel
brothers endship for his former
chum turned to bitter hatred.
The day following the confess
sion, Thayer and Mitchell met, and
the latter, controlling the wrath
that seethed within him, told
Thayer never to call at the Nit
chell home again, or to communi-
cate with Ethel.
Thayer pledged his word, but
failed to keep 1t, and in the sub
sequent happenings Ethel was
brought before a judge in Juvenile
proceedings and adjudged an in
cOrrigible. She was placed in a
home for hayward girls, but a
few days later made her escape.
When the information that the
girl had disappeared was brought
to the Mitchell home, young Nit
chell, believing her to be again
with Thayer, arrived at his deter
mination.
He kissed his mother and in
valid father good night, went to
his room, secured his revolver and
hurried out into the night.
A few blocks away he met Thay-
er walking with a friend. Without
further ado he accosted him and
charging him with the ruination of
his sister Ethel, shot him
through the heart. As Thayer lay
dying he emptied the remaining
chambers of his revolver into the
PROSTATE form.
Then Mitchell calmly handed
over the smoking gun to a police
man and submitted to arrest.

BUILDING CODE
modified

Another night was put in by the
council committee on public build
ings last night discussing the new
building code. Contractors and
builders present objected to many
provisions of the new ordinance,
which was drawn up by the insur-
ance men.
The committee finally agreed to
cut out the provision requiring
that an architect prepare plans to
be filed for every little dwelling.
The provision was changed SO that
plans need not be filed unless the
house is to cost over $4,000.
Another meeting will be held
next Thursday night to pursue the
matter further and thresh out
lot of technical problems covered
by the code.

AUTO PATROL
SAVES MONEY

During the month of January
the auto-patrol of the police de-
partment cost the city only $41.6O.
OF this sum $11.50 was expended
for tire chains, necessary during
winter months on account of slip
perry pavements and SO was used
to purchase a rubber blanket to
protect the drivers. The old pa
troll wagon cost the city an aver
age of SIS per month. and 1t is be-
lieved that when all the neces-
saries have been obtained for the
present auto-patrol the cost can
be reduced to $25 monthly.
