SAYS
ARTIST IS
DEAD

The death knell has at last
rung for Henri f. Sturgis, the
Tacoma artist-cripple.
Judge Clifford today announc-
ed in court that Sturgis was to
all knowledge and accounts a
suicide and his body probably at
the bottom of the Pacific ocean,
Just as Sturgis said it would be
in note left when he disappear
ed year and a half ago.
The state was asking for an or
der from the court demanding
that w. H. Armstrong pay $3.50,
the amount of Sturgis' bond
when he was arrested for paint
ing nude pictures. Armstrong q
signed the bond.
Judge Clifford decreed that
the state was not asking the
money for the moneys sake and
ordered Armstrong to keep the
$3.50.
When Sturgis was arrested in
1911, he disappeared when re-
leased from jail, leaving a note
to Armstrong saying he would be
at the bottom of the ocean when
Armstrong received the missive.

BOY, A ADMITS
NUMBERING
FATHER

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.-Aft-
er two hours of close questioning
by the police, Martin Rickcrt, II,
confessed that he shot and killed
his father, Daniel ii. Rickert, at
their home here early today.
The shooting, the boy said, fol-
lowed a quarrel which began last
night when he disobeyed his ia
theirs command to carry wood to
the kitchen. After the dispute
was renewed today, Rickert went
to the yard of his home to feed
horse.
Martin, according to the police,
fired at him with Il 22-caliber
rifle through an open bathroom
window, shooting him through
the heart.
According to the story wrung
from the boy, he told his mother
what he had done, and they
agreed to claim that the shooting
was accidental. 1t was only when
confronted by neighbors to
whom he inadvertently had told
his secret that he broke down and
admitted the shooting. This, the
police say, was corroborated by
Mrs. Rickert.

GOVERNOR SAVES ONE FROM GALLON
LOCAL MEN ARE SUING
CARSTENS FOR BIG SUM
ON PLAN THAT FAILED

Disorganize the Carsten Pac.i-
ing company, incorporated under
the laws of Maine.
Reorganizc, under Massachus-
sets laws, making the company Il
$3,G0O,OO0 corporation.
Remove the Carsten packing
plant and stocltyards to Pasco.
Conduct all foreign shipping
through San Francisco.
This was the scheme which
Thomas Carsten, president and
general manager of the Carsten
Packing company, intended can
rying out, according to a COM
plant for S250,000 filed today by
Z. Belcher and j. NJ. Neal
The plans, they say in the
complaint, have fallen through
since they prepared a prospectus
for Carsten and drew up rein
corporation papers.
Want $25O.OOO
For their services they were to
have received $3.50, 200 worth of
capital stock of the new packing
concern. Each share was to have
had par value of $100.
The complaint sets forth that
Thomas Carstens engaged them
for the purpose of making a pros
pectus showing the intention to
enlarge his packing business and
remove it to Pasco.
That they did draw up the
nocnSSary ponarc for n pnu, opm
pany and made a prospectus.
That Carsten then changed his
mind and they were not paid for
their labors.
In the prospectus the plain
tiffs claim they set forth the rea-
son of the new company was that
Carsten wished to take life some
what easier. For this reason he
was willing to allow the actual
management of the plant to go
into the hands of a board of di-
rectors, himself retaining the di-
recting of policies.
Carsten was to retain a large
portion Of the new company's
stock. the attorneys allege, but
$250,000 worth was to be placed
In a bank at their disposal.
Pasco was chosen as a location
for the new plant because of rail-
road facilities and low taxes.
Vast stockyards were to be built,
the Tacoma plant to be removed
to that place.
The prospectus stated that in
Carsten's belief there was $685.
100000 in sight for the new con-
cern.

WRECK CAUSED
BY VIOLATION
Of RULES

The wreck at Riverton which
injured 23 passengers on the
Puget Sound Electric line last
month was due to a failure to
keep the freight motor following
regular No. 10 passenger train
down to the speed required by
company rules at the Riverton
crossing.
This was admitted by Superin-
tendent Boutelle of the company
and by Motorman ]. f. Caldwen,
who bumped into the passenger
at the hearing held in fedora.
court this morning by the state
public service commission.
Caldwell, limping on cane
from the injuries he received.
said he was going probably 15
miles an hour when he hit the
passenger. He had not used any
power since leaving the last sta
tion but was just drifting along.
He did not stop when he saw the
passenger ahead because the air
pressure had gotten so low he
could not and the pump could not
be started to relenish it. He had
expected to reverse the motor il
any crisis occurred but when he
tried it he found the Jack had
jumped out and there was no
current on so he was helpless.

morning before the commission.

"BLACK FRIDAY" IN
OREGON WILL SEE
ONLY FOUR HANG

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SALEM, Ore, Dec. 12.--JOhn
". Taylor, slayer of A. II. Perry
in Harney county, will not hang
Friday. He WAS condemned with
-four other murderers in the peni-
tcntiary here tomorrow, but his
sentence was commutcd to life i'm
Frisonmcnt by Governor West at
II O'Clock today. Ii is strongly
limited that Noble FauIder, anoth-
er of the five, is insane, and his
case will be put in the hands of
an insanity commission. Faulder
WAS convicted of killing Louis Gil
bert, a camp cook, who had shot
Fanldcr's dog.
Fauldcr May Escape, too.
1t is expected that the commu-
tation papers in Fauldcr's case
Will be sent to the prison this
afternoon. 1t was at first
planned, according to good au-
thority, to announce this act of
the governors just before Taylor
stepped on the gallows tomor-
row.
The governor is denying him
self to interviewers, simply con-
tenting himself with the an
nouncement that Taylor's sem
tence has been commuted to life.
The fact that the first hanging
will not take place before 1879
indicates strongly that Faulder
has also felt the benefit of execu-
tive clemency.
Taylor and Faulder were both
doomed to die together at 1880
a. m, but under the new arrange
ment the Girst hanging will take
place at 11:30. At that hour
Mike Morgan and Frank Garri-
son will be led into the death
chamber. Jack Roberts, the
youngest of the five, will be the
last one to go, according to the
spectators, who are going so far
even as to wager on the order the
men will be shot through the
traps. But the authorities will
say nothing.
Gallows i'm Order.
The gallows is in place. In the
uiHSy pare uedlHTOOH lHe VIII
dows have been darkened. The
old and the new hemp nooses
have been fixed to their limbs,
the old moose bearing signs of the
eleven lives snuffed out to date.
The new moose has yet to receive
its baptism of blood, but Friday
it will send two human beings
hurtling into eternity. Chaplain
Bauer is today preparing for the
administration of the final Of
fices. Taylor Roberts and Garri-
son are ready to receive him,
while Morgan and Faulder are
holding back, surly and sullen.
When last seen by an outsider,
Roberts was playing the part of
the craven, his lips trembling and
a maniacal look in his eyes.

demned, in a last feeble effort to

shot himself accidentally.
Mrs. Widney, the wife of the
victim of the mysterious shooting,
is at the bedside of her husband
-unreproachful, and asking only
that he get well and return to
their home in Los Angeles. Then
there is the mother, Mrs. r. M.
Widney, wife of a prominent jur-
ist of Los Angeles. She thinks of
nothing but her sons danger and
blames that other woman" for
all his trouble.
But the wife has declared,
while refusing to reproach her
husband for his affair with Mrs.
Lyons, that she will see to it that
the woman is punished to the full
extent of the law.

Fully clothed and lying in his
bed at the White hotel, 110 South
14th street, Christ Holmes, about
80 years of age, was found dead
about $3.50 this morning by NJ
Downs. Coroner Shaver stated
the death was due to natural

MISS ERNA MUEHLENBRUCH
1t is no longer fashionable for
musical genuises to have a tenn
perment that interferes with
healthful enjoyment of out-of-
doors sports and other truly
human pursuits.
This is what Miss Erna Muenl-
enbruch says, and she surely
ought to know for she has just
returned to her home in Tacoma
after more than three years of
study of the pianoforte in Berlin.
Miss Muehlenbruch, is the
daughter of G. T. Muehlenbroch,
the &c" street confectioner. She
graduated from the Tacoma High
school when she was fifteen and
devoted herself enthusiastically
to the study of the piano ever
since.
1t isn't polite to tell young
ladies' ages right out in cold type,
but Miss Erna graduated from the
High" just eight years ago
you may figure it out yourself.
But so far as temperament is
concerned, Miss Muehlenbruch
doesn't let it interfere with out
of-door pursuits; for she is
truly athletic enthusiast. Not
the gruff-voiced muscular sort of
enthusiast, you understand, for
she has soft, gentle voice, a
sweet winning smile and a real
charm-the kind of girl you'd
call 'very girlish girl' indeed.
Tonight at the Tacoma theater
Miss Muehlenbruch is going to
show the home town folks what
she learned about the piano dur
ing her three years abroad.
