THE POLICE COURT

Daily scenes in Justice Magill's court as wit
messed by The Times reporter.

The tide of human flOtsam
surged into police court Monday
afternoon.
"Thomas Kennedy, p. A. john
son, Il. Arendall, G. Stoneman,"
shouted the court, and four sod
don ones lined up before the bar.
Their stories were short. Ken
nelly is Shelton logger. Started
to drink in Seattle Wednesday,
kept it up here, fell down and his
face was bruised by the sidewalk.
Johnson is a Falkland butcher.
Arendall declared his residence
Renton and Stoneman was from
Rainier logging camps. All ad-
mitted tarrying at the booze en-
poriums.
you men ought to know bet
ter" began the Judge. "You are
old enough now to straighten up
and make men of yourselves.
Leave that stuff alone; it will
get you in trouble"
To prove it he assessed each
man SIS and costs.
Ole Larsen had been drinking
and was disorderly. "I had some
stuff in a bottle and I kind of got
mixed up" was Ole's way of put
ting it. Judge Magill assessed
Ole $40 and costs.
Frank Morse had failed repeat

spector O'Flyng finally concluded
more words useless and brought
him in. Morse insisted he was
for the law. That he is an old
citizen and for cleanliness and
sanitation. The court let him off
with the costs.
"Matt Andilla," called the court
and an unkempt, unshaven indi-
vidual shuffled to the bar.
"You are charged with being a
vagrant," said the attorney.
Andrilla shook his head.
"You plead not guilty?" asked
the attorney.
T don't understand"
Don't you know what va
grant is?" asked the court.
NO." quoth the prisoner at the
bar.
"You are charged with having
no visible means of support, roam
ing around and not being able
to give a good account of your
SELF" protested the attorney.
It was all Greek to Andilla.
at means you are no good.
Don't work, are not doing any
thing and have no proper place in
society,"" said the court trying TO
help out.
After several minutes of ex-
hausting all synonyms and ex-
planning it finally dawned in An
dilla that he was charged with
being shiftless loafer. and he
protested. Officer FilSins said he
had been lying around town,
sleeping in vacant lots for week.

brisk PIANO BUYING CONTINUES
Veritable Carnival of Bargains This Week at Elers
Music House Sensational Values at Big Piano
Store Drawing Record Crowds From
Every Section

Never before has so much gen.
uine interest-real enthusiastic
interest-been taken in the selec-
ton of pianos as has been dis
played during the past week at
our store.
And there is good and suffi-
cient reason.
When a house like Eilers offers
the public q chance to participate
in the saving of from one-half to
two-thirds the actual retail cost
on good used pianos, you may
better believe that such an an
nouncement is going to meet with
ready response.
Fully as many patrons have
visited our store since the open
ing announcement as did in any
one week during the busy holiday
season past, and December 1912
was our banner month in point
of sales.
Surely anyone interested in
owning a piano, whether it be this
year or next year or the year fol-
lowing, can do no better than in
vestigate this Clearance sale df
really good, used pianos at the
present time. One has no idea
how easy it is to possess a piano
of his own for such a trifling
sum until he investigates a sale of
this nature.
Who is there that will miss
the payments on a piano-mind
you-when it costs only $4,000,
$4,000, $153.00, $227.0O, etc.,
especially If these payments are
strung along over period of
fifteen, twenty, yes, twenty-four
months.
The prices we have placed on
these pianos in order to sell them
off quickly are nothing short of
sensational.
OF one thing we are absolutely
certain. If you wait until after
the close of this week, expecting
to get any such bargains as we
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-07-22

are now offering, you will be
doomed to disappointment.
Just now there are samples OF
every style, finished in oak, wal
nut or mahogany, at prices rang
ing, as before stated, from $500
to $4,000, but in order to avail
yourself of these most extraordi-
nary offers, 1t will be necessary
to decide without further delay.
This Clearance Sale was PLAN
ned on a scale that was bound to
make an impression. Scores of
used pianos which have been
taken as part payment on Chick
erings, and Player Pianos, were
thrown into the sale at prices that
had never before been deemed
possible. Savings on these pianos
range from one to two hundred
dollars and over. And, as one
woman expressed 1t, 81 would :
rather have a used GOOD piano
than a poor new one." And she
got one.
You cannot invest your money
to better advantage than in any
one of the pianos offered. They
represent almost twice the value
in some instances we are now ask
ing, and are genuine bargains,
every one of them, as a little in
vestigation will convince you, and
are we'll worth a little sacrifice,
If necessary, to take advantage OF
same. While the terms should
be cash, we will arrange easy
payments.

money.

that? How do you expect people
to have sympathy for your terri

Farley tried to speak but choI-
ed. He said he wanted to go to
Frisco. So the court let him go.

FIGHT TO The DEATH WITH SEA VAMPIRE
Y Combat of Man and Monster by Victor HUGO Retold

. appearance from beneath the
rock. In the middle of the hor-
rible substance, there were two
eyes that seemed to be fixed on
him, hungrily. With a new sense
of horror and fear, he recognized
A DEVIL FISH!
There Is only one way to kill
devil fish. That's to sever its
head from its body! Gilliatt knew
it. His left hand, holding his
open knife, was all that was free.
Knowing that he must act quick
ly and accurately, he watched his
chance with the intentness of one
who looks death square in the
face at close quarters.
Without warning, the devil fish
loosened it's sixth tentacle from
the rock and darted 1t toward the
free hand. At the same moment,
it pushed out its head toward him
violently.
That was Gilliatt's chance. He
evaded the tentacle, at the same
time thrusting the knife deep into
the Shiny substance, describing a
whip-like circle around the eyes.
There were two mighty, lightning
like commissions. The monster
dropped in two shapeless heaps at
the feet of Gilliatt!
1t was dead. The tentacles fell
away from his body. He shut up
his knife and turned away from
the loathsome sight.
Gilliatt, breathless, weak and
worn had conquered the YAM
pire of the sea!

Tacoma must go into the bust

vertising campaign. 1t is paying

electric power. 1t has fitted up at
considerable expense fixtures at
the city hall to demonstrate the
use of electric energy for house
hold purposes. Yet few are cook
ing with electric juice today.
The city even passed a new or
dinance cutting the rate so that
cooking can be done cheaper with
electricity than with coal, gas or
wood.
But up to this morning only a
dozen citizens had gone on the
new domestic rate.
1--WE have got OF go into the
business, buy the stoves in car
lots and sell them to the people at
a low price," says Mayor Sey-
mour.
And the people are echoing the
sentiment.
Nick Lawson and Mills have
persistently refused to allow the
city to buy the stoves and sell
them to the people. They have
held out that the local dealers
would reduce prices to the mini
mum.
But prices have not been reduc-
ed at all and the people are not
buying the expensive electric
stoves in any great quantities.
This is proven by the fact that
only a dozen in the whole city of
100000 people have taken adj
vantage of the new domestic rate.

Kill Lion And Bear

Three of the Bockman boys,
Frank, Ferd and Leo, John Ku-
kIinski, Albert Megquier and Pho
tographer DeLapp went on a big
lion hunt Wednesday morning and
succeeded in getting one lion and
also killed a black bear. They
went about six miles south of Lib
by. The dogs were trailing a lion
and coming to hole in the ground
would not go any further. From
this hole the boys induded a big
black bear to come out and get
shot, both with rifle and camera.
They then proceeded with the lion
hunt and it was not long until
they found where a lion had killed
a deer the body of which was not
cold yet. They soon had the lion
treed and succeeded in taking
many pictures of the beast before
putting on the finishing touches to
the hunt. This makes four lions
for the Bockman boys so far this
season.

CUSTOMS COLLECTOR DIES

David Hoover, deputy collector
OF the port of Great Falls, and sta
toned at Gateway, died suddenly
at the latter place, Tuesday evening
shortly after 6 o'clock, having lust
returned but few minutes before
from trip to Spokane. He COM
planned to his assistant, Chas.
Brooks, of feeling indisposed, and
retired to his home. Soon after
ward Mr.. Brooks went over to see
how he was feeling and found him
dying. DR.. Bogardus had been
summoned from Eureka, but Mr..
Hoover had passed away some
time before the Doctor arrived.
Death was due TO heart failure.
The remains were taken to Kali
ispell and the funeral will be held
under the auspices of the Elk's
lodge.
Deputy Collector Hoover was
one of the oldest men in the SER
vice. He entered the service in
1898 and had continuously served
since that date, having enjoyed
the confidence of the three collec-
tors during the period. David G.
Browne, Charles M. Webster and
the present official, Collector Blair.
He was esteemed by his superior
officers as one of the most efficient
and reliable officers in the district.
He was man Of high character as
we'll as of unusual ability and the
service has sustained distinct loss.
Relatives of Deputy Hoover re-
siding in Washington and North
Dakota were notified. He had
never been married. He was for
a number of years active in the
