revolver at the woman as she
stood upon the railway platform.
Mrs. Sullivan, half smiling and
half frightened, started toward

The little fellow frightened his
grip on the pistol. There was a
loud report and a flash, as the
woman lunged forward with a

The boy was frightened nearly

over the victory, yet this paper is
over the fact that q
community such as Lakeview was

fault here lies with the plan made
by the people and the county

Lakeview, the Times believes,

BUTCHERS WIN
IN COURT
CASES AGAINST DEALERS AC-
CUSED OF USING FREEZ' ENI
ARE DISMISSED.

Four Tacoma butchers who
pleaded not guilty of using
"freeze 'em" in their meat were
before Justice of the Peace Card
today for trial.
The case of Harry Nash, pro-
prietor of the Commercial market
was taken up in the morning ses-
sion. Chemical experts testified
that they found a preparation OF
known as freeze 'em"
in samples of meat from his shop.
Whether 1t was in sufficient
quantity to conceal decay and de-
ceive the purchaser was a qucs-
ton.
State Chemist Elton Fulmer. a
professor of chemistry in the Uni
versity of Washington, and Pro-
fessor Charles w. Johnson of the
University of Washington. ard
Meat Inspector Adams were the
witnesses this morning.
The charge against NJ. Saltzer
of the Frye-Bruhn company was
heard this afternoon.
Finding that there was not
enough freez'em in the meat to dc
harm, the court dismissed all four
cases late this afternoon.

The majority of 20 shows the
people are awake. 1t was not
simply a decision of a lot of far

bigger. 1t was the expression OF
an intelligent determination on
the part of the people to stand
up and fight to the end for a
square deal from the traction
trust.

the warning that the fight was
to be a long one. We did not

His head literally blown off and
his body hurled so feet, George
Cunningham, a laborer, of Aber-
deem, met a tragic death this
while blasting stumps in
Fletcher Heights, a new addition
in tae west end of the city.
Cunningham, not needing the
waEpings of fellow workmen, re-
turned to light a fuse that he
thought had not been fired, and
was directly over the charge when
the explosion occurred.
There were seven or eight
stumps in the chain that was to be
blown up, and the connecting fuse
had been lighted. Five or six
of the charges had gone off in
quick succession, and the men
who were clearing the ground
had scattered in all direction.
= In running away, Cunningham
had dropped the fuse he carried
in his hand.
There was pause following
the first discharges, and Cunning
hap, thinking that the next fust
was not burning, started to re
turn to the stump to light i
again.
His companions tried to dis
suade him, saying that the bias
would go off in moment. H,

Look Out for the Big Dinner,

Along.

The annual winter epidemic of
colds, coughs and sneezing in Ia
coma is in full blast. Thousands
of people in this city are afflicted
more or less severely. Though the
winter months usher in the great
est suffering from colds, it is not
weather itself that causes all the
coughing. Two of the mildest
winters, 1890 and 1891, saw a
great spread of influenza all over
the land. Many doctors are talk
ing yet about the hard work they
had in 81.
Somebody once defined a cold
as "a disease from which you
didn't suffer much, but which took
about six months to cure"
Doctors themselves admit that
the nature of colds varies with the
individual. For instance, there
are at least 20 kinds of sore
throat.
Crowds In trains, churches, the
theater. dance halls and other
crowded place are conducive to
the spread of colds. Dance halls
are one of the principal sources of
coughing.
Benz. Franklin once wrote an
essay on colds. Some of the
things he said are good today. He
pointed out that the weather alone
could not cause colds and cough

punish him for his part in the
