Last Friday Fred l.. Boalt of

forest where TOrnow the Beast
Man holds sway. Boalt was after
has been heard from the Beast
Man for nearly six months. In
MontesanO they told BOalt that
TOrnow was dead, but Boalt
thought the wish was father to
the thought, so he decided to in
vestigate.
Boalt left Montesano and trav-
eled by auto as shown on the map
up the Satsop valley a distance
of twenty miles. There Boalt en-
gagged a guide and travelled five
miles on grown-over road that
leads to Schaletzeke's ranch.
Schaletzeke agreed to go with
Boalt to what is known as the
'Tornow Tree" six miles farth-r r
in the forest. They waded the
Satsop river and found the Tree.
Furthermore, they found that
Tornow was not dead. He had
been at his old den within "a
hours. Boalt in his story y5ster-
day told how they knew Tornow
had been there.
The spot in the forest where
the "Tornow tree" is located is
indicated by the smaller black
cross. The heavy cross just above
it being about four miles distant,
indicates about the location where
Tornow yesterday proved that he
is not dead by killing two more
men.

Miss Bessie Strout has the dis

''I'm going again if Mr.. Craw-

now applicants for the seat on

away went the frail little machine
across the flats. After q short
run the machine started to rise.

Miss Strout, describing her SEN

mere specks. We went up 1000
feet. The wind was SO cold ii
burned my cheeks. The machine
is just like bird, no jerking,
just a steady glide"
And Miss Strout with her
cheeks still tingling, looking as IL
she would like to just sail like .

The machine was in the air
about seven minutes. 1t scared up
nearly to Browns Point, turned
and swept back over the city to
Bismarck and then dove onto the
flats from the south. It made q
perfect landing, hardly bounding
at all as 1t struck the ground.
Miss StrOut is stenographer in
the office of A. III. Garretson and
her home Is at Gig Harbor. 81

sailed through the air." said the
