4. RACHTNER INTERRUPTS
TOM GOODEN WHILE LAT.
TER is TRYING TO EXPLAIN
INCIDENT OF SHOOTING
SCRAPE IN ALLEY CHRIST
MAS MORNING.

While Tom GOoden was ex-
planning to a jury in Judge Cliff
ford's court today that il was A.
lfachtner, owner OF the Kosher
cafe, who did the shooting In
Opera alley Christmas morning
instead of himself, Rachtner
stood i'm the doorway peering into
the courtroom and heaped upon
the witness head such a wealth
of language that the trial was
brought temporarily to close.
Gooden, who is a colored chauf-
feur, is charged with firing upon
Rachtner with intent to kill him.
The accused man explained on
the stand that he had been en-
gagged to dine out to the Seven
Mile roadhouse by Rachtner.
He said that Rachtner offered
to pay him $40 on his return
from the roadhouse. This amount
he did not consider sufficient.
II told him | wouldn't take it,"
said Gooden, land he tried TO
batter ME over the head with the
butt of a revolver. In warding
off the blow, the gun was dis
charged, the bullet tearing
through my coat"
When Rachtner, who was
standing in the hall outside Judge
Clifford's court, heard the testi-
mony of Gooden, he made in
loud tone such remarks that At
torney j. Matthew Murray, for
the defense, was forced to dis
continue his questioning until a
baliff had taken Rachtner away.

Claims Fraud.
She was committed to the hos
pital by fraud, she alleges, soon
after the suicide of her husband,
who was caretaker in Seattle
bank. She claims she never has
been in other than a healthy men
tai condition.
y Her son, she asserts, is re-
sponsible for her confinement.
She says he trumped up an in
sanity charge against her and had
her committed purely for the
sake of gaining possession of her
property. Now, she declares, he
and his wife are living in her
home on Queen Anne hill, vast
ing the remainder of her estate.
Son DisinIlerited.
According to Mrs. Jones' story,
the son had left his father and
mother and had been disinherited
by his reratfye before the suicide
occurred. This, the mother
thinks, angered her son to such
an extent that he railroaded her
TO the asylum as means of
gaining the property which he
considered should have been left
him.
Mrs. Jones' case has been set
for January 81 before Judge Cliff
ford, just year and month
later than her commitment.

, they planned their elopement
every last detail of it. Then, a
week ago Sunday, Mcdonald
came to Tacoma and made the
necessary preliminary arrange
ments.
He met Genevieve last Thurs
day afternoon on her way to
school, and to Tacoma they hur-
ried.
The young husband conducted
negotiations with Pater Gilmore
by long-distance telephone, and
finally, when he learned it would
be safe to return, they came
home to get their blessings and
forgiveness.
They are making their home
temporarily with McDonald's par
ents.

HAS TOO MUCH MONEY.
One Indian Cannot Play Ball fol
That Reason.

PHILADELPHIA. September 20
There is one Indian who can play ball.
but doesn't care to. even with the
added lure of chance to cut into the
worlds series money. He is Barry
Bokis, a Chippewa-same nation as
CHIEF Bender. but of a tiny band
north of Lake Superior. Word came
down that he was pitching startling
ball and an invitation to come out Of
the woods was extended by the Ath-
letics, it is said. Bokis sent back word
that he'd like to, but couldn't afford
it, even for a chunk Of the worlds
series coin and big salary.
Derisive laughter from the pale faces.
Young Mr.. Bokus then sent the mag
mates the annual financial statement of
the Canadian Indian bureau and their
eyes popped out.
The Bokis band, of which the pitcb
er's pa was chief for many years. num-
Der only ninety people, but receives
over 100000 every year for timber
and every man. woman and child of the
tribe could sign a checker make an
x for one-for $4,000! 1t is up to
young Mr.. Bokis to act as a general
manager of the fund. and he can't very
well play professional ball
