n siXty-day session and was elected to
stay at home. lie got fortysiX votes in
Arlington and total of something like
three hundred in the district:
arlington, Wash, Aug. 26, 1908.
'Dear Strive have to advise you
that w. II. Ford, who is a candidate for
the legislature from the 49th legislative
district is the same w. II. Ford who
last January imported twenty or thirty
Japs to work for him. He took them
over to his farm across the river from
Arlington, and put them to work This
was at the time when the mills in this
vicinity We're closed down, and the town
of Arlington was flooded with unem-
ployed white men who were willing and
anxious to work, but instead of giving
employment to these worthy laboring
men, Mr.. Ford permitted them to walk
the streets of Arlington with their idle
hands in empty pockets, while he i'm
ported Japs to do his work.
"a petition was circulated here and
signed by almost every business man in
the vicinity of Arlington, which was
presented to Mr.. Ford requesting him to
give work to the citizens of this com
munity. This, however was not needed
by Mr.. Ford, and he did not release his
Japs until a number of indignation meet
ngs had been held in Arlington, which
were attended by hundreds of unem-
ployed man and business man, and he
was waited on by a committee repre-
senting almost the entire population of
this vicinity, and he was forced to let
the Japs 60, but he did not get the work
done; that is, he would not employ the
white men even after he had been com
PEELED to release his Japs.
Being members of the committee who
waited on Mr., Ford we feel that as he
is asking suffrage of the very people
that he refused to give work to, that
it is only proper that the laboring men
of this district be informed of the kind
of man they are being asked to vote
for, for the state legislature And if
any working man finds his way clear to
support Mr.. Ford, it is our desire that
he do SO with his eyes open, and know
ing that he is supporting the only man
who has ever imported Jap labor into
this district Most respectfully,
ar. R. WOOLEVER.
"THOS. WINTON."
Arlington citizens generally as well as
the single weavers have neither for
given nor forgotten and they seem to
be as determined to firmly put the lid
on Mr.. Ford's mayoralty aspirations as
they did on his legislative aspirations
three years ago
Nor is the Jap indictment the only
count they have against Mr.. Ford.
We have already shown in our col
umns the love (O entertained by w. II.
Ford, candidate for mayor of Arlington,
for our Mongolan friends, We might go
further and show how this feeling of his
extends to their remote descendants. 1t
is well established fact that the "Si-
wash of Puget Sound is descended from
the Japs. Mr.. Ford in his zeal for any
thing pertaining to the Monaghan,
learned that there were several Siwashes
who had gone to their Happy Hunting
Grounds" leaving estates behind. He,
determined to see that no "Cultus Bos-

Scared Friends Win Gun.

An instance OF SANKEY'S recklessness
with firearms occurred up at Woodlawn
Inn. one night some OF the members
of his party had been down wandering
among the white lights of Broadway
and arrived at the inn at a late hour.
They found all the doors LOCKED and
all their noise failed to awaken any
Of the occupants. One OF the crowd
knew that Stanley's window was gem
orally open, so the entire party shinned
up on 20 the porch roo. intending to
ret in that way. ketchel was awak-
cned by the noise and saw dark fg-
ures climbing around on the roof Just
outside his window. He hastily
grabbed up his rifle and fired toward
the figures, aiming high. AS the re-
port rang out and the shots crashed
through the glass just over their heads.
the BOYS gave a yell OF fright and in
their hurry to get out of LANCER all
tumb!ed off the roof to the ground be-
low i'm a scared and bowling heap.
Ketchel afterward explained that he
thought Il was a crowd of newspaper
men who had come out to interview
him. He stated that when he was In
training for his last battle with Papke
Mt Colma he was disturbed so frequent
~ NJ all hours OF tho day and night by
those heartless creatures, whom ne inn
arired were in the pay of Papke, n IA

battle never took place. Along in the

was In bad shape. A year before he
had begun TO put on weight and was

suddenly he BEGAN to lose weight,

down 90 San Francisco. where he en-
Joyed NE Tor q while. lie Shen came

parents. Finding that he could not get
back into hghtlng trim. stanley de-
cided to abandon the prize ring and go
Into the cattle business out In Mon
tana. Before doing so he ives invited
by n friend to spend some weeks on
a ranch IN Missouri. II was there
that stanley met his death. He was
shot 6y a farm hand named Hurtz and
died on the evening OF oct. 10. 1910. in
a hospital at Springfield. Mo. where
he had been taken in a special train.
HIS murderer was given twenty years
In the penitentiary. Ketchel's body
was taken back TO his home in Grand
Rapids. Mich.
Ketchel was not quite tw~enty-three
years and one month old when tho as
s~assin's bullet cut short his young life.
His death was universally mourned by
the fighting public and by all the men,
bers OF the puEilistic profession. for
Ketchel was an extremely likable boy.
There was nothing mean or vicious
about him. Full OF youthful energy and
spirits. he was the source of much
amusement to his friends and ac-
quaintances. His open-handed gen.
crosby was widely known. II there
were very few who ever applied in vain
to Stanley for aid. In fact, he was
continually harassed by the cloud of
parasites that ny in the wake of a sue
