TWO H0LDUPS.
Police Looking for Negro Footpad
Who Held Up Two Women.

Two attempted holdups by negro
have been reported to the police with
in a few hours Last night shortly
before 10 o'clock, Miss Agnes Allen
was going up Douthitt avenue to her
home, 1884 Harrison street. She no
tiCed a negro behind a tree who jump
ed out at her as she passed. He stop
ped her and demanded that she turn
over her money.
IF you give me some money I'll not
hurt you" he said to her.
She is said to have replied that she
would give him the money but her
words were heard within house and
the front door was opened. When the
door was opened the negro slugged
Miss Allen in the forehead and ran.
She was taken into the house and a
doctor and the police were called.
Sheriff L. L. Kiene and Sergeant Wal
ker came there soon in an auto but
could find no trace of the robber-
This morning at 10 O'Clock a report
was sent to the police station by a
Mrs. Post who said that a negro st2p-
ped her at $50 this morning at Ninth
and Topeka avenue, and demanded
some money. She had $25 with her
at the time and refused to give him
any money. He seized her by the
arm and threw her on the ground, try
ing to get at her pocketbook. He
struck her in the face, breaking her
glasses and cutting up her forehead
by the broken glass. A wagon passed
by at that time and the negro ran
away.
Mrs. Post described the negro who
attempted to rob her as being five
feet tall, coarse voice, black and wear
ing a dark suit of clothes. He was
about 20 or 25 years old, according to
Mrs Post
Because of the similarity of the two
attempted holdups, the%local police Of
ficerS believe that the offerfSe was
committed by the same person. All
of the policemen are on the lookout
for the robber by the descriptions
given. by Miss Allen and Mrs Post.

Officers of the mounted squad
have been instructed to see that
all licenses are up to date, and
that tags are numbered correctly.
The result has been that more
than 100 owners have been
warned and that 20 have been
placed under arrest.
If a person purchases a second
hand car he must take out a new
license in his own name, regard
less of the date of expiration of
the former license. Auto licenses
are not transferable. If the license
is renewed and a different num-
Der is issued, the tag must be
changed. The old trick of smear
ing grease on the tag so that dirt
will adhere to it and obliterate
the numbers, making it difficult
for speed cops" to distinguish
them, cannot be worked on the
Tacoma officers. Numbers must
be easily readable, or the owner

third class of roads entirely at

general way is the plan on which
the French road system is based.

for road building do not favor the
construction of transcontinental

appropriate money for road
building and hand it over to the

Can Be Taught to Drive Cat
tie and Keep Watch.

There is nothing more companions
able when rambling through tho
woods or walking in the country than
fine dog. On the farm dog--a
good one-is as essential as other live
stock.
There is no animal more Intelligent
or sagacious than collie, and no dog
IL more suitable for the farmer. Col.
lies are very beautiful, graceful in
every movement and are active all the
time. Their heavy coat adds to their
beauty, and enables them to with
stand all kinds Of exposure. A collie
Is easily taught. and soon learns to
DO useful duties about the place with

themselves In an emergency. making
most excellent watchdogs, and always
show loyalty and love for their mas

Of the family. TheH make fine COM
panions for women and children. They
are very affectionate and their affec-
tons are strong and lasting. Il.
The rough.coated Scotch collie is
one OF the oldest breeds of dogs. Its
History extends way back into ancient
times when dogs Of this breed were
used by the shepherds to care for
their docks. It is today used for this
same purpose not only In the west

Rough Coated Scotch Collie.

as in every other country under the
sun, where they have made them
selves Indispensable. They are not
only very useful around sheep but
can easily be taught to drive cattle
and to keep general watch over
them, as well rs Of hogs and Of the
poultry. Many a collie has learned to
keep fowls out of the garden and away
from the front Of the house without
ever doing any damage to them.
The price OF collies, as with fowls.
depends greatly upon the quality and
what they are wanted for. Some OF
our highest show types of collies are
the most intelligent and useful around
the farm. Good puppies sell to the
farmers at from $500 to $1,000 each.
The fancier who desires to raise col.
lie puppies pays from SO to $3.50 for
puppies not over two to four weeks
old. s -
One collie was brought to this
country from England several years
ago for 81, 900, and one ], came last
year at the reported price Of $1,000.
Every year several change hands at
$1,000 each. and many at 800 up.
Collies can be trained easily and
quickly. to do many useful things, but
there Is one thing that should be
borne in mind. and that is. the train
ing should be done by only one per
son. Do not let every member OF the
family take hand in the training or
the result will be spoiled dog, When
well trained, no farmer will ever re
greet having spent a little time and
money on collie.
