Two Occasions.


Newspaper Enterprise tom
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec.
30.-In what weird web of fate
has Airline Coldwater, Is, become
entangled?
A grim, whimsical Nemesis has
three times in the dead of night
sought out the girl in her bed and
two times the hunt has been sue
cessful. There followed most ter
rifying experience, the fearsome
Operations being exactly the same
on both occasions.
All Salt Lake is trying to solve
the riddle of these peculiar attacks.
Escapes Second Time
Recently the girl was awakened
at four in the morning to find the
dark forms of two men at her bed
side.
Before she could scream, a
hand closed over her lips. A gag
was placed roughly between her
teeth and bound around her head.
In spite of her struggles she was
carried to grapary in the rear of
the Coldwater home.
Then came the intensely fiendish
feature of the mysterious assault
The men bound her ankles, tied
her wrists together with a rope,
throwing the loose end over a
rafter. The rope was frightened
slowly.
The girl was drawn upward I'M
til her toes barely touched the
floor. The entire procedure was
carried out In silence.
The two men looked at each
other, smiled and disappeared.
Four hours later the girl man.
aged to work the gag loose. Her
cries attracted her father. She
was hysterical and half conscious
when released.
This was the second visit. A few
nights before the mysterious pair
had attempted to capture her, but
she escaped, her screams arousing
the neighborhood.
y Motive a Mystery
A week or SO later she endured
similar experience. Her room
was entered again at four in the
morning. She was awakened by the
men at her bedside. Again a hand
stopped her cries. Again the gag
was put in her mouth.
Then the INSCRIPTIONS assail-
ants carried her to the granary
and left her hanging by the wrists.
Hours later she once more slip
lped the gag from her mouth. Her
screams attracted a neighbor. She
collapsed when she was cut down.
The police are puzzled.
Robbery is not the motive OF
the attacks. Nothing was touched
in the. house except the girl.
The Coldwater home is now
being carefully guarded.

EPIDEMIC
in LOCAL
ACADEMY

For the second time in less
than ~ months. serious cpl
demic of diphtheria has developed
in Aquinas academy, North 18th
and G streets.
City health officers this week
placed the entire school under
strict quarantine.
Fortunately, day pupils are not
forced to remain in the school,
because they were home on Christ
mas vacations when the disease
became manifest.
The teachers, sisters, younger
boarding students and assistants
about the institution are all un-
der lock and key. They number
about rs.
Earlier in the year an epidemic
in the Aquinas school cost three
lives and an enforced abandon
ment of studies for several
months.
The renewal of diphtheria has
caused much uneasiness among
physicians and others who have
had the school under surveil-
lance.
Three students are i'll with
diphtheria In hospitals. Several
students have been found who are
common carriers" of the diph-
liberia microbes. They carry the
disease germs about in their
threats, spreading the disease
easily to persons whom they meet,
yet they are not I'll themselves,
the doctors say.
Only by the most careful exam
ination OF the threats of every
student at Aquinas have the germs
been found in these apparently
we'll children. Similar examina-
lions made during the previous
fatal epidemic failed to bring to
light any common carriers in the
nation in the health office, because
nation in the health office, ecause
the source of the disease could
not be determined.
After the previous epidemic the
entire building, occupying an en-
tire block. was heremtically seal
ed, and 1900 pounds Of sulphuric
fumigation powder was burned in
every corner OF the building.

BUILDING
DOUBLES
in 1916!

Building operations in Tacoma
more than doubled during 1916
over the previous year.
With only five hours left for
issuing permits, the city building
inspectors office announced at
noon Saturday that the years to-
tai of applications for permission
to erect new building here was
$1,61S,9S1.
This was for 1892 buildings.
In 1916 the permits totalled
1,216, and were for work amount
ing to $790,424.
With practically the same num-
Der of permits during the two
years, construction in 1916 is
more than double that of the pre-
vious year, indicating a far better
grade of work in recent months.

SMASHUP
BLOCKING
Mp. BORE

Traffic on the main line of the
Northern Pacific between here
and Portland was at standstill
Saturday forenoon, while the
debris of an early morning acct
dent was being cleared out of a
tunnel two miles east of Kelso.
Reports received by the local
office are that a Great Northern
northbound freight train derailed
a flat car containing a large boil
err, when part way through the
tunnel, at o'clock Saturday
morning.
The boiler fell across both
tracks, blocking them, and three
other flat cars piled up when they
struck it, choking the tunnel.
The work of removing the
wreck is especially difficult be-
cause of its location.
The Northern Pacific passenger
train which left Tacoma at .
o'clock Saturday morning for
Portland is waiting on this side
Of the tunnel.

AIRMEN
SET U.S..
RECORD

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. go
History was written for the avia-
ton corps of the U. S. army to-
day, when a flotilla of aeroplanes
piloted by army aviators flew
from Hampstead, l.. l., to the
League Island navy yard here
a distance of about 115 miles.
Privates Salmon and Coyle,
who left Hampstead with Etelve
other aviators, shortly befofe 10
O'Clock, were the first to reach
here. They landed at 11:32.
Both were numb from cold.
Almost before they were lifted
from their aeroplane, T. c. Mill
man landed close alongside. Five
others then came swooping down
at intervals of about four minutes
Salmon's time for the flight
was one hour and thirty-seven
minutes. The fastest trains re-
quire two hours to make the trip
from New York to Philadelphia
Fourteen of the countrys best
known aviators assembled al
Hampstead for the flight. The
first machine rose at 9:5S, the
others followed in rapid success
sion.
Within two minutes after the
first machine rose from the
ground all the aeroplanes were in
the air.
The flight is the greatest from
a military standpoint ever :, at
tempted in the U. S. 1t is ex-
pected to prove or disprove the
value of hundreds of appliances
which have been invented for use
on aeroplanes.
OF the IL starters 10 were
army filters.
At 1921 nearly all of the ma
chimes, strung out in an even line
like a flock of ducks, had passed
over the military aviation field
at Governors island. All were
flying at a great height and al
high speed.
The aviators headed out to sea
sailing above Staten island and
then turning in over New Jersey
After passing Trenton they lay o

The filters were all wrapped In
heavy. fur clothing, with theiI
heads encased in huge fur-caps.
The return trip is expected to
start at 10 O'Clock tomorrow from

The machines carry 90-horse'
power motors and $50 gallons oil
gasoline. All are Curtiss mill.

"A PAIR OF QUEENS" AT THE
RHODE OPERA HOUSE NEXT
FRIDAY NIGHT, NOV. 8.

It is not often that playgoers of this
city have an opportunity to see big
New York and Chicago success the first
year of its original production, but
such will be the case when "A Pair of
Queens" is presented at the Rhode
Opera House next Friday night, No
vember 8.
It is only a short time since A Pair
of Queens" ended its record breaking
run of over twenty weeks at the Cort
Theatre, Chicago. 1t then went to
New York, where its hit was enormous.
Then the management divided the COM
pany, sending one-half of the original
players, with other equally competent
actors, for a run in Boston, while the
other half Of the original company,
augmented by a dozen other comedy
experts has been sent on tour.
As proof of the unusual merits of
f" A Pair of Queens" here are a few
excerpts from the metropolitan news
paper reviews on this big comedy sue
cess: The New York Herald said: "It
is filed to the brim with mirth pro-
voking situations. " The New York
Evening World said: cit is so anus
ing that even an ambulance surgeon
would laugh heartily all the way
through. - The New York Evening
Sun said; cit is by long odds the best
farce we have had this season, and for
several more.' The New York Jour-
nal said: ''It had the audience roaring
from beginning to end. +" The New
York American said: cit is a play of
many lahghs.'' The New York Times
said: Its fun is fast and furious. y
The Chicago News said: "It's the most
uproarious farce in twenty years"
The Chicago American said: eff you
don It laugh at this farce, you had bet
ter see a DOCTOR
"a Pair of Queens" is coming here
with all the glory of metropolitan IA
vor and with cast and production of
unusual quality. 1t should easily prove
the laughing treat of many seasons.
