BROTHER SHOOTS
BROTHER

Frederick Shaw used his revolver.
He fired one bullet which entered
Henry's left breast.
Later, at the city prison, he told
the police that he fired only when
his brother attempted to hit him
with a set of brass knuckles. Pend
ing Henry's injuries he will be held
on charge of assault with a dead
ly weapon.
Henry in an ante norton state
ment to the authorities, said that
he had upbraided his sister for
what he supposed to be unbecom-
ing conduct. He said that his
younger brother, Fred, overheard
him and came to Edithe's defense.
Bitter words passed, then blows. He
refused to make any accusation
against his assailant, claiming that
he believed his brother meant to
shoot him in the arm. This state
ment was corroborated by the
younger brothers account of the
trouble. He claimed also that he
shot to "wing" his brother, and
did not intend to wound him seri-
cusly.
The wounded brother is al years
of age, while his assailant is 80.
The girl attributed the action of her
elder brother to false tales con-
corning her that had reached his
ears

TALK
SCALE |NCREASE

The local printing preSsmen are
not altogether pleased with the
treatment they have received from
the employing printers. The press
men recently presented a new scale
to the employers which to a great
extent merely made permanent the
present wages paid. The employers
have refused to pay the scale and
have presented a counter PROPOSE
ton to the union, which has re-
suited in stirring up the pressmen
as nothing which has happened in
their history.
The action of the employers in
raising the wages of the printers
voluntarily last Sunday is taken as
a slap at the pressmen, and there
is disposition on the part of the
FRESHMEN to call the bluff.
In speaking of the matter today a
well known member of the press
mems union said the union would
probably withdraw the present
scale and present another which
would be worth fighting for. eve
are not going to waste powder. in a
fight for nothing" he said. "And if
we are compelled to go into fight
it will be for scale worth while.
The pressmen have 100 per cent
organization in this city and as an
international body are among the
most perfectly organized on the con-
tinent,

Of GILL s
ELECTION
BETTING is THAT HE WILL BE
ELECTED BY 1000
MAJORITY.
Omitted Press Leased Wire)

Omitted Press Leased Wire)
SEATTLE, March 8.--Odds OF
three and four to one and wagers
of $1,000 that Hiram c. Gill will
carry every ward in the city and
win by majority of 1000, show
the confidence of the republican
forces and their candidate for
mayor in today's election.
Gill polled 1900 votes in the
primary against $4,000 for his re-
publican opponent. Practically no
democratic vote was cast. Every
thing points to an easy if not
overwhelming victory for the re-
publican candidate. However, a
large part of the $4,000 opposition
votes in the primary will probably
go to the democratic candidate,
William Hickman Moore, today.
The fight is squarely on the is
sue of a very liberal city govern
ment or the opposite and the bust
ness men have most of them cast
their influence for a free and easy
town.
Moore is a former mayor of Seat
tie. Gill has been president of the
city council for some years.

NIGHT CLOTHES

Trail of the $4,000 damage suit
of E. B. Hoffman against W. E.
Schirmer was, begun before a jury,

Schirmer with entering his room

beating him severely.
Schirmer was living in the
house he had rented to Mrs. Brew
baker. 1t seems that he wished to

A letter from Senator w. L.

Jones expresses the opinion that
the condition pictured by the Bos-

stand the expense of reforesting
