RANCHER DEAD:
MYSTERY ENDS
John Olson Meets Death in
Fight With Neighbor
Details Lacking
OFFICERS INVESTIGATE
Prosecuting Attorney Of Pa
cific County Makes Long
Trip-On Way Back

Through a message received here
late yesterday afternoon by +. r. Ar
cher from Tahola, via Moclips over
the government telephone line, the
first information concerning the death
of John B. Olson, a rancher living
in the Queets district was brought
before the local officers. Olson's
death, which was reported Saturday
was caused by the breaking Of a
blood vessel in his head during a
fist fight with man by the name OF
Quinn, neighboring rancher The
message said that Olson wLOn struck
by Quinn fell backward striking his
head against a log. He died four
hours later. Prosecuting Attorney j.
w. B Scott of Jefferson county is
returning with the body of Olson and
will probably reach this city today.
Arrangements have been made by
him for the arrest of Quinn and who
will Immediately be brought out to
stand trial.
The message received yesterday
puts to rest all fear of serious trouble
in the Queets district. From the
wilderness of the Queets a message
brought the news Friday of.the death
of Olson. The message read: Trouble
in the Queets. John B. Olson is dead.
Send coroner and prosecuting attor.
ney." The messenger knew nothing
of the trouble.
The nature of the trouble was not
made known until Attorney J. w. B.
Scott of Jefferson county reached Ho-
Quiam Saturday on his way to Queets
and even then a mystery hung over
the whole affair. Scott had travelled
nearly 500 miles having passed
through King, Pierce, Thurston and
part of Chehalis county. AS soon as
word ofthe trouble was received here
he was notified.
1t was through F. R. Archer who
is we'll acquainted with the Queets
country that the first message Of the
tragedy was brought to Aberdeen.
During the entire morning yesterday
Mr.. Archer endeavored to secure
word from the Queets. AT last a mes
sage was received from MOclips, say
ing that word had reached Tahola of
SCOTS safe arrival at the Olson
home
According to Mr.. Archer and 9th
ers who are slightly acquainted with
Olson, the man has had considerable
trouble with his neighbors for num-
Der of years. 1t was at first thought
that a man by the name of Anderson,
whom Olson is said to have threaten
ed was concerned in Olson's death.
1t is understood that on several oC-
casions Olson, who often carried a
gun, had threatened to kill men. He
was quarrelsome, it is said and was
continually looking for trouble.
Guinns identity is not known in
Aberdeen but it is reported that he
is rancher living on the Clearwater
river some distance from the Olson
home. The nature of the origin of
the trouble is not known. In fact,
no definite details of the tragedy are
expected to be made known until At
torney Scott reaches Aberdeen, prob
ably today.

EXTRAVACANCE
IS CHARGED
Hay Administration Misman-
ages Washington Vet
erans' Home
POOR FOOD IS SERVED
Physician and Matron Of
institution Make Seri-
Gus Charges

SEATTLE, Nov. 2.-Serious charges
against Governor Hay and his board
of control are being made by DR..
George B. Campbell and his wife in
connection with the management of
the Washington Veterans Home al
Port Orchard
DIR Campbell served as physician
and his wife as matron in the Home
from May l to July 10 last, when
they and Commander Wilson of the
Home were discharged as the result
of row with the board of control
over the purchase of supplies for The
hospital and other questions o. ad.
ministration
the charges of DR.. and Mrs. Camp
bell are corroborated by statements
of a delegation of the inmates, So the
truth of what they say can not be
clouded by counter-charge of pre-
judice.
They say that when they went
there they found the sick being serv-
ed with food from the general mess
that was cooked in big watts and the:.
carried across the campus on trays.
SO that by the time it was served
it was cold and unfit for invalids.
regardless of quality or manner of
cooking. They say that the patients
were practically starving as result
until they brought from their own
home an alcohol stove on which Mrs.
Campbell began preparing food for
the sick herself. One Of the inmates
reported a conversation the chairman
of the board had over the telephone
in which he was discussing the de-
r1o nd NP h0 INN fov oni T.
ment. Cowan, he says, made use OF
the remark, Damn them; they will
take what We give them" The board
further refused to meet delegation
of the inmates to hear their griev-
ances.
Another charge is that in June and
July they were SO short of potatoes
that this luxury was served only once
day. and that the canned fruits
and vegetables furnished up to a
short time ago were of the most in
ferior quality They say an improve
ment has been noted recently, but a
return to former standards is looked
for after election, in the event of the
reelection Of the present chief exec
utive.
That inferior canned goods were
used in the Home some two years
ago is charged by reliable outside
citizen who happened to take meal
there as guest of one of the inmates.
He remarked about it at the time as
evidence OF mismanaeement.
DR.. and Mrs. Campbell charge that
that clothes supply was so meagre
that at times some of the inmates
were almost naked, and Mrs. Camp
bell frequently mended them herself
to prevent indecent exposure. They
say that on the occasion of the ma
tional inspection, Commander Will
son made the statement that the
clothes supply in the commissary was
SO short he could do but little toward
making the inmates presentable for

SEATTLE, Nov. 2.-All bona nde.
residents of Seattle who have regis

they have changed their residence
from one to another precinct during.
the thirty days preceding election
have a right to cast their ballot No
vember 5, according to the decision
of Judge King Dykeman in the case
of Wilmon and Lillian Tucker, who
last March mandamused the registra-
tion department of the city to issue
a transfer of residence emitting each
litigant to vote.
At that time Judge Dykeman rul
ed that the term precinct included
the entire city limits of Seattle, and
that the federal laws did not seek to
disfranchise citizen because of q
change of residence within certain
prescribed voting districts.
Transfers Will Be Issued
With this ruling in mind the regis

will be open for those who have
changed their residence even up to q
day before election, and who have
been legally registered during the
past year. to obtain a transfer and
a permit to vote in their new lOea-
ton. The registration Office will
close at o'clock Monday afternoon
Recently a decision was handed
down at Olympia by Attorney GeneF
al Tanner in a case brought from
Garfield county that any person who
changed his residence within thirty
days of an election had no legal right
to vote.
City One Large Precinct
City Comptroller Harry w. Carroll
and his assistant, James B. AgneW,
yesterday declared that q country
and a city precinct were not the
tsame-that city precinct shouhk
more properly be termed Sub" or
numeral precinct, and that the sub
division of the city was for the one
!! purpose of convenience to voters. Tn
der Judge Dykeman's ruling, both held.
that any resident of Seattle who Ead,
registered during the past year, bu:
who had changed his street address
during the thirty days preceding
election, could be legally transferred
by the registration department and
could legally cast his ballot.
Different in Aberdeen
When the attention of City Clerk F.
F. Clark was called to this decision
of Judge Dykeman this morning, he
announced that he would be unable tn
provide any transfers such as will
be issued in Seattle. Mr.. Clark took
the matter up with City Attorney A. E.
Cross, who instructed him that the
state law provided that the registra-
ton books must close at the time spe-
Gifted and that he could see no way
under the law by which any changes
might be made.
Guided by Attorney General
Clerk Clark also feels that he must
be guided by an opinion given hina
by Attorney General Bell, under dats
of November 26, 1909 which reads ~

When Christmas gifts bear with
them kindly thoughts or careful work
on the part Of their donor and recog-
milton of good taste in those to whom
them are given, the recipients are
sure to be pleased. And, whether the
purse be fat or lean, good manage
ment and cleverness make it possible
to embody these ideas in all gifts.
Those which are the handiwork of the
giver are whose which make the
strongest appeal to our hearts and
bring home the sweet, gracious spirit
of Christmas.
What taxes US most each year Is
the matter Of deciding on what to
give. After this has been settled upon
and our list made out. the rest is easy
and the work pleasure. There are
,innumerable pretty things for women
and girls. All Of them love articles
made to decorate their homes, and
those made for their personal adorn-
ment; SO the choice is not SO hard. 1t
does require some thing to find out
gifts for men. But we won't go far
wrong II we stick to things which add
to their comfort And they like, too,
those things which add to the attrac-
tiveness of their rooms.
About the prettiest and easiest gift
to make is the bewitching breakfast
cap. Everybody, that is anybody, has
a little frivolous and dainty cap for
morning wear these days. They are
a delight to the eye and anybody may
own one. Some people call them
boudoir caps and, furthermore, there
are caps made of nicer materials
which are worn in the evening and
are called opera caps. They are all
simply made It isn't a bad idea to
decide on gift OF this kind and make
them up for all ones girl or women
friends. Each one may have some
little individual touch to make it diff
ferent from the others. By planning
to make several caps at one sitting
there is a saving In material and
time.
These caps are very inexpensive.
They are made OF plain or dotted net.
all-over lace, thin silk, null, batiste.
embroidery and chiffon and edged
with, narrow plaitings of net or lace.
A square Of the fabric used makes the
crown, that Is q piece Of goods 18
inches wide and Of the same length
is all that is required for the crown.
The corners are trimmed away max
ing the pieces somewhat circular. A
narrow binding Is sewed about the
edge Of this piece and an elastic cord
run In. It is long enough to reach
about the head with little stretch
Ing. A single or z double fall of
plated net or lace is sewed about the
edge, one row being slightly wider
than the others and falling half
inch below 1t. A single ruffle il often
edged with narrow ribbon.
The cap shown In Fig. has .
crown of sheer eyelet embroidery with
double ruffle falling about the face.
The upper ruffle Il edged with mar
row valenciennes insertion. These
