--Garretson told the senate inter

Andrew Furuseth, president of

in the superior court on the part
of attorneys for the Keystone
Lumber Co. to introduce evidence
of alleged irregular business
practices on the part OF John H.
Jacobson, former secretary of the
concern, in his dealings with the
firm.
The attempt to produce this
evidence was in connection with
an action to obtain a permanent
injunction against jacobson from
using a mailing list of 10000
names, said to have been taken
from the company's office.
The court refused to allow the
evidence.
Attorney Murray attempted to
,how that Jacobson was mali
ciously trying to obtain business
from the firms customers.
Jacobson denied having taken
any of the names of the custo-
mers, but admitted having filled
two orders intended for the firm.
These, however, he consented to
turn over to the old firm.

peaceful settlement of the strike
All organized labor in Tacoma
is standing squarely behind them.

kilograms last night to all Wash
ington congressman, urging the
passage of the eight-hour day law
for the trainmen at the present
wages, and protesting against

the resignation of Premier

fatal SPOT was missed by a few inches.
However, the force of the blow, which
was delivered with both hands without
releasing the handle, was so great, that
| it depressed the creatures head, and
the head-on collision did not crash in
the side of the boat as it probably
would have done otherwise. The top
of the head struck the bottom Of the
boat, breaking the lance handle short
off against the side, and | was con-
fronted with very serious defect in
my equipment. I had acquired, by
years of work with the lance, such
confidence in my ability to place 1t
where desired that had not thought
it necessary to provide more than one
spade lance; but now my fish was very
much alive and fighting mad and
was without a spade lance.
The water was so thick that the
Mania could not be seen until very
near the surface, but Charlie kept the
slack of his hafpoon hauled in and the
line showed the direction in which the
fish was travelling under water. Cap
| tain Jack steered the boat, which was
kept running, and that 1t was well
/ handled is shown by the fact that not
once in more than a dozen PUSHES did
| the devilfish reach the surface without
| finding our boat on her back. Each
! time I drove the lance through her
heart or brain one or more times, and
after the fight she showed % such
wounds.
Through all this fight there was one
uncertain and disturbing factor that
we were not in a position to guard
against-namely, that the great male
| mate of the wounded Mania kept near
us until the fight was over and three
times nearly capsized us by pushing
| the boat from the back of the female.
Once, just after we had been nearly
capsized by a heavy blow from the
head of the male, and when the female
was fighting most violently, when we
were all covered with the blood of our
| victim and the boat was almost filled
| with water, the youngest member OF
| the crew Uuther Dixon), thinking that
the end for all of us was near, tried to
force a harpoon into my hand as he
screamed, Iron the big bull and let's
all go to h in tow of team Of
devilsT" quote this to show the tenn
per of the men, for while Luther, and
probably others Of the crew, thought
this our last fight, neither he nor any
other man showed even trace of fear.
Then the dying Manta raised her head
against the side Of the boat and gave
loud harsh bark or cough, and as ex-
claimed, watch her eyes looking two
ways at onceI", the stricken creature
slowly rolled one of her eyes, until
with that one only, she seemed to look
at all of us behind her in the boat
Before striking the Mania had
looked at my watch and called out the
time, and as the big fish died, again
pulled 1t out and asked, "How longT
Not one Of the crew placed the time Of
the fight at less than two hours and
when 1 told them that 1t had taken on
ly % minutes, they wanted to see IL
the watch had not stopped. The fight
was now over, the great female Manta
that we had come for was dead; but
there was still a man-sized job In front
of us and we at once made the fish
fast to our stern and headed for Blind
Pass, more than q mile svu,
