INSANE PERSON
TERROR|zES
RESIDENCE

Crying piteously for his child
and digging i'm the earth for
money which he said he believed
was hidden about the grounds of
the American lake mansion of
Chester Thorne of Tacoma, n man
thought to be insane, struck ter
ror into the hearts of the Thorne
family last night.
He was kept guarded by a cor
don of armed servants who held
him at bay until this morning
when Deputy Sheriffs Palmer and
Stenso arrived and took him into
custody. At the county Jail the
man gave his name as John Lar
son and his age as 23 years.
He appeared at the Thorne
mansion about midnight, awaken
Ing the entire household with his
appeals for his child.
Fearing he might break into
the house three servants were de-
tailed to hold the man until
morning when the sheriff's office
was notified. When Deputies
Stenso and Palmer arrived he was
lying on the ground almost froz-
en-, they say.
Nothing at all is known of the
man. 1t Is thought he has been
destitude of food for several days,
probably having been lurking in
the woods near the Thorne home
during that time.

Three weeks of married life
was enough for Fannie s. Bartich,
who was today granted n decree
of divorce from her husband, Vim

to.
On their wedding day, accord
ing to Mrs. Bartich, her husband
had purchased a great quantity
of intoxicants upon which he
wined their guests.

It WAS REAL
BIG TURKEY

Until he was gobbled ON
THANKSGIVING day.

Thanksgiving day.
All fall the needless turkey
strutted in grandeur and pride.
Some old gobbler seer may have
sounded the alarm. He had a vi
sion. He saw great army of
turkeys that reached from Point
Defiance park to the city hall
walking single file close up. They
went gaily and unsuspectingly
gobbling despite the noise ordi-
nance until the very foundations
of old Mt. Tacoma shook. And
then they all disappeared in a
great red pipe-and they never
came back.
And that vision was true, for
the great red pipe was the COM
bined aesophagus of the turkey
eaters of Tacoma.
II got away with several miles
of the great American bird. Car
stems alone brought in 10000
pounds, which means 1900 tur-
keys. Union Meat company add
ed 5000 pounds. Fowlette mar
ket 6,150 pounds, and other
sources of supply smaller
amounts running up to thousands
of turkeys.
The Bay State market alone
sold 1900 pounds of turkey at
retail.
Frye & Bruhn Co., wholesalers
of 1916 Commerce street, sold
5000 pounds of turkey.
1t was a great turkey day.
The hotels show something OF
the Tacoma appetite. The Taco
ma disposed of $50 pounds;
Olympus, $50; Carlton, 80; Dom
nelly, 80, and the average res
taurant ran around 100 pounds.
Tacoma has not eaten as much
turkey for years.
