I. R. & P. GOT
WRONG TIP
PREPARED FOR SECOND TIE
UP AT FERN HILL BUT
THERE WAS NOTHING Do
ING.

Fern Hill residents had the T..
r. & p. company worried yester-
day and the officials made pre-
parations for a second blockade
of the line. Evidently the CON-
pany was the victim of a hoax,
for after two extra cars and four
crews, with an inspector, had been
sent across the Fern Hill dead
line" ready to klo business on
the other side, there was no evi-
dence whatever of any disturb
ance.
You can bet that we will not
start anything when the T. r. &
p. is all fixed up to handle the
trouble" said a leader of the BEL
ligerents this morning.
1--WE will keep extra cars at
Spanaway and Puyallup ready for
another blockade any time"
says Superintendent Boutelle.
Both sides in the fare contro-
versy are maintaining sort OF
armed truse awaiting develop
ments in court.
For two weeks after the former
blockade the T. r. e P. kept two
extra cars beyond Fern Hill,
ready for service in case of E
second blockade. Flat wheel"
trouble in the city made it neces-
sary to use them in the city and
they were brought in. Superfn-
,tendent Boutelle says two or
more cars will be kept beyond
Fern Hill from now ON ready for
the rumored disturbance.

of the Boyd Tea company, was de-
livering goods at 18th and e

horse became frightened and DASH

the twelve foot bank at d street

The remarkable feature of the
accident is that the horse was only
Slightly injured and the only
damage to the wagon was the
breaking of shaft.
Haxton left his horse standing
in the street and it became fright
ened when the wagon crowded up
on his heels, through the failure
of safety brake device to hold
The animal came dashing down
the steep hill, and at d street
made a detour to one side so that
the rear of the wagon struck the
fence at the corner with a terrific
crash. Fence and wagon both
went over, the horse being lifted
in the air, frantically paving with
its front feet. Several teamsters
rushed to the scene and by cut
ting the harness let the animal
slide to the ground twelve feet be-
low. A scratched leg was the
horses only injury.
A tramp who was sleeping be-
meath the sidewalk where the
horse and wagon went over, was
rudely awakened from his dream
and fled, leaving a suit case and
some blankets.

AGED MEN FIGHT DUEL
CIVIL WAR VETERAN
IS SHOT To DEATH
Because He Was Late to Work, William Woods
IL, Is Taunted and Abused BY Fellow
EmpIOye, Fatal Duel Follows
(By United Press Leased Wire. J

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-two
men who had arrived at an age
when peaceful end was near,
fought a duel to the death early
today. John Ferris, sc years of
age, had steadier hand and his
opponent, William Woods, aged
~, fell dead with five bullet
holes in his body.
The battle took place In
basement of a big grocery store
at Broadway and Twenty-flrst
street, where Ferris had worked
for 81 years.
Eighteen years ago Woods en-
tered the employ of the firm.
Ferris regarded him as an inter-
loper and since that time had
looked upon him as a newcomer.
Got TO Work Late.
Last night Woods, feeble with
age, was delayed by the blizzard
that swept New York and came
to work little late. Ferris
greeted him with a boast that
the "old timer" could beat auy
OF the new men" in getting 10
work. Then he ordered Woods to
sweep out and the old man r.
fused.

Quarrel Grows Heated.

Quarrel Grows Heated.
The enemies quarreled until
long past midnight, their remarks
growing heated and finally con-
tanning threats.
In reply to a taunt Woods at
length pointed to the G. A. r.
medal on his breast and declared.
II fought through the civil wa.
for my country. was not a
coward then and I'm not coward
now. i am prepared to fight for
my honor"
Ferris accepted this challenge
and the men, securing two revolg-
ers, adjourned to the engine
room in the basement. There the
aged combatants, by this time al
most insane with their rage, yet
apparently calm in carrying out
their plans, stepped off the dis
tance and arranged the final de-
tails.
There were no witnesses to the
early morning duel to the death
and only Ferris is left to tell the
tale.
According to his story, he
won the duel because he was the
better shot and through superior
prowess. 1t is supposed that botn
men fired at first about the same
time. The fact that Woods was
shot five times indicates that Fer-
ris probably in the fury of MS
hatred. continued to fire at his
enemy after he shad fallen.
Notifies Officers.
When Woods was dead Ferris
wrote a letter to police headquar-
ters in Mulberry street telling of
the deed, put a special delivery
stamp on it, wnt out to the near
est mail box and posted it. He
then returned to the basement
and sat down to await the coming
of the officers.
Near the engine room is the
liquor department and the old
man, feeling exhausted from hrs
terrible nights work, secured .
bottle of whiskey and sat drink
Ing it as he waited.
