face tells of a case where an otter
seized a live swapping turtle in the
water, brought him out and ate his
head off, a record-breaking example of
strenuous savagery on the otter's part.
These turtles are destructive in ponds
where ducks are raised. The yellow
feet of the ducks prove tempting bait,
and many of them are drawn under
and killed or manned. Some of the
land turtles do damage in vegetable
gardens, biting chunks out of musk
melons and eating lettuce

LOT THIRTEEN
VERY UNLUCKY
CAUSES TROUBLE FOR CAPITALIST
Pat Mullins Builds House Upon
Strangers Property by Mistake
and Entanglements Ensue.

Patrick Mullins, whose recent pur-
chases of local real estate have occa-
stoned considerable comment in the
city, has recently achieved another
triumph, but one of which he is not
so proud. He recently purchased lots
8, 10 II and IL in the 800 block on
Capital Hill and then had a residence
built. The residence is a very fine
affair, but unfortunately it got built
on lot 10, which Mr.. Mullins did not
own. Just how this happened is a
good deal of mystery, though it is
said that as Mr.. Mullins had his four
lots fenced in the builder built
the house in the only place he could
get at.
The mistake now having been dis
covered, Mr.. Mullins has made ar
rangements with the owners of the
other lot, and will either have the
house moved back where it belongs
or trade property. Personally the
owner is very uncomm unicative about
the matter, and would not go into de-
tails when inquiries were made. The
house is built on lot 13, as may be
seen; but aside from this the other
details of the tangle are gathered
1rom outside sources. This is the
second time in recent years a mistake
of this nature has occurred, Ex-mayor
Fechter having had the same expert
ence sometime ago.

way Turned Over by Property
Owners to County.

Extension of the street railway
line into the Fruitvale section will
commence on Wednesday, The Sixth

the center Fruitvale road at Leaning
burg thence west. 1t is understood
that the line will follow the center
Fruitvale road until it meets the road
way just under the hills which it will
follow until it reaches the Naches
river, which will be near the Painted
Rocks thus making a stretch of about
four miles of track. This line, it is
reported will he completed and in
operation by the first of January next.
The transportation company has
procured a right of way for 60 foot
road through Fruitvale and to the
Naches river and will run west past
the Fruitvale school house. The for
NAL proceedings were transacted Sat
urday at the court house. At that
time a committee of Fruitvale prop

of way was accepted by N. r. Rich

company and the statement made that

Wednesday.
Railway construction in that Sec
ton is comparatively easy and the
work can be pushed with greater
speed than is possible in many Sec
tons. Therefore the line will be in
operation within month or so.
