HCV YOU WOULD CHANCE
IL HER DEADLY PISTOL?

If you were burgler-perfect-
Iy ridiculous, of course, and you
must pardon the supposition-but
just s'pose'n you were, for the
sake of argument. You'd prob
ably find it inconvenient to in
terfere with the peacefulness of a
home at 631 North Oakes street.
Miss Anna Hanson lives there.
"Pooh!" you'd say, If you were
a burglar, "a woman"
Sure, she's a woman, young,
pretty one, too. Look at her and
you wouldn't be so scarey, even
if you were not a burglar, for
probably you'd be too busy at the
time to think of anything but the
pinkness of her cheeks and the
clearness of her eyes. The chances
are you wouldn't even suspect the
truth.
And the truth is Miss Hanson
Is the best woman revolver shot
In the world. Now, il you are a
burglar, you wouldn't care to be

Hanson as she sat at her desk at
the Mohr Hardware store yester-
day afternoon. "Herc's the gun I
use. Isn't it a beauty?"

those who know much about guns,

would probably appreciate this,
but you wouldn't doubt the ex-
pertness of its owner in handling

L. M. Burnett, aged 80, commit
ted suicide last night by taking

Mrs. Burnett's husband, a

O'Clock to find the door to the
room locked. When he called
and received no answer he broke
down the door and found his
wife lying on the floor.
DR.. Chas. McCreery was sum-
moned, and he attended Mrs.
Burnett at the Tacoma General
hospital, using the pulmotor ma
chine. of the Tacoma Gas COM

failed.
Burnett says he has no idea
why his wife had killed herself,
as she had seemed in good spirits
when he had eaten luncheon with
her about IL o'clock last evening.

AY'S MACHINE SANCTIONS LAND GRAZ
GANG MAKES THE N. P.
A PRESENT OF SCHOOL
LAND WORTH $25O,OOO

SEATTLE, Oct 26.-Here is the latest outrage
perpetrated on the people of this state by the Hay
standpat machine. It's a gift Of $25OOO0 to the
Northern Pacific railroad. Worse than that, the
gang took the $250,0O0 away from the school chill
dren of the state in order to make the gift.
The present consists of strip of school land, 80
feet wide and mile and a half in length, running
through the University of Washington grounds
Hays board of standpat regents made the gift.
A thorough examination of the records at Olym-
pia reveals nothing which gives the railroad any
shadow of claim title to the land. The record
exhaustively examined by Attorney Thomas f. Muir
phne.
The board of regents themselves disputed the
railroad S claims But instead Of taking the dispute
to the courts, they compromised"
The railroad knew it had no title to the land. It
knew it had title to an SOfoot strip than to
200-foot strip. The railroad considered its claim
so valueess that attempted to have it's claim
tested in court It waited for it's opportunity, and it
came. The land grab was effected through the kind
Offices of the Hay machine.
Many years ago sections 16 and SO in every town
ship in the state given to the school children of
the state for school purposes. The state university
is located on section 16.
The Northern Pacific without title right of
any kind, back in 1886 thereabouts built it's line
through the campus. Ever since that time the n. P
has been scheming to title to this land a
right way For the act of congress which gave the
railroad the right to public domains specifically
exempted lands heretofore reserved as the school
lands in this state. So four years ago. the Northern
Pacific, working secretly got bill through the leg
isature permitting the board of regents to sell uni
versity lands to railroads for right-of-ways.
It was under this act of the legislature that
Hays board made it's compromise" It sold this
tract of land valued at quarter of million dollars
to the Northern Pacific railroad for the sum of 81.
The matter has been fully laid before Gov Hay.
But he has fault to find with his board of regents
He will not fire them have their action tested in
courts. Instead, he told Ole Hanson, who protested
this gigantic land grab before him. that he would ap
point Regent John c. Higgins, one of the board who
sanctioned and approved the donation to the N. P,
to make an investigation and prepare brief on the
case for the governor.
Speaking of the extraordinary generosity of
Hays board towards the N p. the University Daily,
