TACOMA
TWO BIG COMPANIES TRANS
FER HEADQUARTERS TO
THIS CITY.

The old familiar notice, Moved
to Seattle" is being changed
little these days, and Seattle peo-
pie are being treated to an occa-

that city: Gone to Tacoma.
The latest to desert the King
county metropolis is the Nelson
Johanson Mill company and the
Nelson Lumber company. The
general offices of both have been
moved to this city, from which all
rail and cargo business will be
hereafter handled.
The companies have just COM
pleted new deep water wharf at
their mill across the bay, and are

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-In an

Thomas A. Edison says that he
abandoned the idea of aviation
forty years ago, and is devoting
himself to matters more import

protests, claimed "the purse of

Demands So, 900 for Girl.
In February he left for New
York with the girl, and Long
Dong, her previous owner. fol-
lowed. He sought out Chin Len
and demanded $4,000 as the price
of Bow Kun. According to the
Oriental now accused, he refused
to pay the price, and Long Dong
is alleged to have threatened seri-
Gus harm to Chin Len, Bow Kun,
or both.
Stabbed Through Heart.
Yesterday morning the assassin,
armed with a dagger. crept into
the room where the woman lie
sleeping and stabbed her to
death. The sharp steel pierced
her heart twice. When discov-
cred, the girl was found on the
floor by the side of richly
draped couch and lying nearby
was the bloody dagger which had
been used to take her life.
The mystery promises to prove
as battling as that involving the
identity of the murderer of Elsie
Sigel, the white girl who was
killed in the Chinese quarter re-
Gently.
Six American women, who de-
clared themselves to be the wives
of Cinnamon, were found in the
house and arrested, but none of
them would admit any knowledge
of Bow Kum's death.

tree. The fruit was disappearing
too fast.
AS result, Smith got up very

Jealous eye ON the tree of good

something hopping about in the
branches. Smith did not shoot.
He waited a while and presently
was able to discern a monkey
making free with the fruit.
Hey, you! Get down out o.
that thar tree!" shouted Smith.
The monkey replied with some
thing only Prof. Garner could sue
coed in understanding. and then,
to show how impudent IL could be,
threw an apple. and hit Smith in
the face.
The monkey behaved for all the
world like an ill-trained, unre-

The monkey proved to be the
property of Dominick Anglozo, an
