WILL REOPEN
OLD METTLER
DISPUTE

BY Ter of Attorney General
Tanner, the case of Pierce Coun-
ty against Simon Mettler, former
county commissioner, will be re-
opened i'm Judge Cards court
Wednesday in an effort to com
pei the payment of his bonds
amounting to $4,000 in return
for the cOunty's loss because of
Mettler's peculiar transactions.
Mettler was a large stockhold-
er in the Wells Construction COM
pany, and as commissioner he let
the county contracts to the COM
pany, then sold Wells crushed
rock from the county stone crush
er and never got pay for it. In
stead of taking the money out of
that paid Wells under the con-
tract, Mettler paid Wells full
amount and left the county un-
protected when the Wells COM
pany broke up.
The facts were brought out
when the state bureau of inspec-
tion made it's investigation, and
Attorney General Tanner is push
ing the case to get back the
money due the county.

SUICIDEDECLARES
DR.. SHAVER,
CORONER

There are excellent reasons,
according to Coroner Shaver, for
believing the Sandstrom boys
death a suicide.
The lad was greatly worried
over his operation. He was
thought by some to be slightly
mentally affected.
The coroner also lays great
stress ON the fact that the bull
let which ended George Sand
strom's life was from the rifle
which was found lying across
the boys body.
On the other hand, the fact
that the rifle was lying across
the boys back leads the sheriff
and others to believe that he
could not have shot himself and
dropped face down without fall
ing with the rifle under the body.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-11-25
RELATIVES HOLD
TO ACCIDENT
THEORY

That the death of the Sand
strom boy was neither a murder
nor suicide, but an accident, is
the belief of Miss c.. Funne-
mark, a second cousin, who lives
at 1106 South 18th street, with
whom the two other Sandstrom
boys and their sister are stop
ping.
AS supporting her theory, she
says George Sandstrom had re-
Gently written a letter to his sis
ter Christine, then living at AL
bany Falls, Ore, saying he would
visit her during the . holidays.
The letter, she states, could not
have been more cheerful mis-
sive. This was found in the lads
pocket.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-11-25

Missing Since Nov. 5.
George Sandstrom had been
missing since Nov. 5. While
the Gould family were in Spana-
way voting the boy disappeared.
Constant search, which has been
kept up since that time, failed
to bring to light the boys body
or any trace of him until Satur-
day.
Lawrence Sandstrom, the 49,
year-old brother, who with Ar
thur, aged "a, and sister,
Christine, 21 years old, had been
combing the woods since their
arrival here from Portland,
Ore, made the gruesome discov-
cry within 200 yards of the
house where George had lived
with the Goulds for more than a
year.
Rifle Across Body.
The flesh torn by wild ami
mails and a 22-caliber repeating
rifle lying across the legs, the
body was found lying face down
ward near a giant log in a part
of the dense forest where the
light seldom penetrates. A swamp
surrounded the place.
There are persons in Park
land and Spanaway whom the
sheriff will interview. These
persons are said to have made
startling statements to the pri-
vate detective and deputies
while the hunt was in progress.
Sheriff Longmire does not
care to state at this time who is
being looked upon with suspi-
cion, fearing great difficulty in
reaching the bottom of the mys-
terry. Enough suspicious facts,
however, have been gathered to
warrant the officers in making
thorough probe of the murder
theory.

rT0R'S FATE RESTS WITH THE JURY
JOHNSON GIVEN
VERDICT Of
$500

Charles johnson, the longshOrc-
man who was seeking relief for
his injuries that have laid him up
for life, hopeless cripple with
IocomOtor ataXia, was this morn-
ing given a verdict for 81, 800
against tho American Trading
company.
This is the price set by the
jury Saturday night in a sealed
verdict he is to receive for being
battered into a hopeless ripple
while helping load a steamer at
the Danaher mill.
Johnson will now go to Cali
fornia where in warmer climate
he will try to prolong his life,
which the doctors say Is good for
not more than a fe years at most.
All Saturday evening Johnson
sat in the witness room of the
federal building with his wife anG
little babe, waiting to hear what
the jury would say to him. The
writ of ejectment issued by Judge
Clifford's court to dispossess him
of the tidelands of his home at
Point Fosdick was in his pocket.
Twisted into a knot as he is
Charles Johnson was not In con-
dition to make much protest
against the officers of the law
who might come to keep him OFF
the tidelands he has heretofore
possessed.
They went back to their water
front home yesterday and as soon
as the money to be paid on this
verdict comes in they will start
for California.

Finally three cars came along, all
loaded so heavily they would
take no more on. Result was
$3.50 when Bonds and the six
others got to work.
The foreman looked at them,
asked what was the matter, then
told them they were discharged.
Bonds reported to Mayor Sey-
mour, and the mayor today will
take the case up with the COM
pany and see what can be done
about it.

THE TWO GREAT THINGS
TO DO.

There are two great things TO
do. eOne Is to set up the rule OF
} justice and Of right In such mat
ters as the tarifr, the regulation
OF the trustssand the prevention
of monopoly, the adaptation Of
our banking and currency laws
to the varied uses TO which our
people must put them, the treat
ment OF those who do the daily
labor IN our factories and mines
and throughout all our great In.
dustrial and commercial under-
takings and the political life OF
the people OF the Philippines.
for whom We hold governmental
power In trust, for their service.
not our own. The other. the ad-
ditional duty, is the great task
of protecting our people and our
resources and OF keeping open
to the whole people the doors OF
opportunity through which they
must, generation by generation.
pass II they are TO make con-
quest. of their fortunes In health.
In freedom, IN peace and In con-
tentment. In the performance
of this second great duty we are
face to face with questions of
conservation and OF develop
ment, questions Of forests and
water power and mines and
waterways, OF the building of an
adequate merchant marine and
the opening OF every highway {
and facility and the setting up !
OF every safeguard needed by a {
great industrious, expanding pa
tion.-From Woodrow Wilson's
speech accepting the Democrat !
