FLIT is DEAD; POOR FLIT;
NOBODY COULD LAND HER

Driven to her death by fear
that she was being bounded by
the authorities who sought to ex-
pose her operations since she ar
rived i'm Tacoma, Miss Fifty
O'Flara, the pretty young Gig
Harbor elocutionist, this morning
ended her elusive existence by
suicide.
A great choking grief has come
with the untimely demise of the
we'll known beauty.
On a table in the room which
Miss O'Flara has occupied since
she has been the object of search
in this city, was found note
signed by her, which gives an ac-
count of her actions during the
chase in which she has evaded
capture and saved the Times the
loss of the handsome 0,500,-
900, 900, 600, ,000,000.S9 reward.
Miss O'Flara was found this
morning lying on the sidewalk in
front of her hotel. From all ap-
pearances she came to her death
calmly and without pain. She
probably escaped the miserable
dfscomforts which usually at
tend such a fate. The girl had
taken a quantity of carbolic acid,
cut her throat with a razor, shot
herself through the head, bitten
herself with a rattlesnake, and

finally leaped from the sixth story
of the hotel. landing on the side
walk, where she lay down and
tickled herself to death.
Before 1 wiggle out of this
cortal moil or moital corl or NOR

message to the world, "and butter
my heels for the final slip into
the Uncertainty, l wish to say I
have bunked the unsuspecting
people of this handsome burglet
in most ruthless manner.
II never walked around the
tin rain gutter on the city hall

And as the defunct Is laid away
in her last flops the Times wipes
the blistering brine from its eyes
and chokes down the last blub-
bering sob.

Bob Hodge simply had the
crowd of 1000 persons right up
on the edge of their chairs cheer

Senator Paulhamus added to
the enthusiasm with every state
ment he made. If anybody
thought Paul was not in the
game they had the idea dissipated

FORBES co. GET CONTRACT
FOR BIG WOOD RIVER BRIDGE

Bids were received on Wednes-
day by the Board of Highway Com
missioners of ShOshone for the con-
struction of new Big Wood river
bridge at the lower Darrah ranch
designed as a part of the compre-
hensive road improvement under
taken by the commissioners. Six
bids were handed in, that of J. A..
Forbes & Co. of Caldwell being the
lowest and this firm was awarded
the contract on plan C at $685..
There were plans A, B and C,
all designed to carry a live load
of 100 pounds per square foot of
floor surface or a is ton traction
engine at centre. Plan C calls for
low inclined chord or camel back
truss 9 feet high in centre. The
structure is to be of wood.
All the bids were higher than the
estimates, which were made by Ed
S. Smith, by approximately % per
cent. The bids submitted on steel
work were still higher by from six
TO seven thousand dollars than those
for the wooden construction. Other
bidders besides Forbes g. Co. were
Missouri Valley, Midland, Burke

LOOK Up YOUR TAX RECEIPTS

As an instance to satisfy his own
mind the average taxpayer should
look up his tax receipts for the
years 1910 and 1911, and compare
them. By so doing he will get a
pretty fair idea of Jim Hawley's pet
full cash value plan and operation.
The real theory of full cash value
was greatly abused, and assessments

portion. 1t is a significant fact that
