Rider Runs Into Wire

Roy Simpson, a 17-year-old young
man of Fallon, net with an acc1-
dent that may result in the loss
OF an arm. He was taking a short
cut to town from a ranch where
he had been working and lost con-
troll of the horse he was riding. The
animal dashed along a road that
is not a thoroughfare, but was never
closed until last Sunday, when
wires were strung across 1T with
nothing to warn trespassers that the
road was closed. Simpson struck
the wire and was thrown from the
horse and dragged some distance
with his foot caught in the stirrup.
He made his way to a nearby house
and was taken to a hospital, where
it is thought he will lose his arm.

it was found to contain about $500

FLAMES
EMBRACE

While attempting to light a
fire at her home In the Fair
View hotel, 5402 Union avenue,
early this morning, Leta Sartoris,
age Z, was probably fatally burn
ed when her thin nightgown
caught fire, enveloping her In
flames.
The little girl arose at 6
o'clock this morning, intending
to start the fire and creep back
into bed while the rooms were
warming up.
Dressed only in nightie Of
thin material, she applied a
match to the end of a newspaper
which was to serve her as a
torch.
Not Expected to Live.
In a flash the small flame
caught at her nightgown which
went up like SO much powder,
scorching her tender skin.
She was badly burned about
the back and shoulders and face,
the skin having been burned
away in many places. She was
hurried to st. Joseph's hospital,
where she is being attended by
DR.. Mace. She is not expected
to live.
Leta is the daughter of James
s. Sartoris, employed as teamster
by Kenworthy & Sons, South TIA
coma grain dealers.

Passengers aboard eastern
trains which have been stalled for
hours in the Cascades today are
facing a food shortage and may
be in serious plight IL the tracks
are not opened soon.
This much was learned today
when a telephone call was re-
ceived in Tacoma from James Nc
Cormack, head OF Mccormack
Bros. department store here.
Mccormack left Tacoma for
New York on the North Coast
Limited Tuesday evening. His
train has been stalled at Lester
on the N. p. line.
lie said that one of the trains
held up in the snow drifts seven
miles ahead of the one he was on
ran entirely short OF food last
night.
Passengers and trainmen were
compelled TO pillow through the
seven miles of deep snow to the
limited, then trudge back with
supply of provisions for tn. hum
CRY passengers on the train ahead.
AS far as we are concerned,
we have been very comfortable so
far" Mccormack said. I'VE have
had enough to eat and have man.
aged to keep warm. But passen-
gers on some of the other trains
have not been so fortunate"
Seven Trains Stalled.
He said that three trains are
stalled in the drifts on the tracks
ahead, with three more stalled be-
hind.
More snow, which fell continue
ously from o'clock until mid
night last night, with more high
winds which drifted the snow
high in many places put a damp
er on the hopes of N. +. officials
of getting their trains out.
This morning the weather had
cleared considerably, four snow
plows were put to work, and the
n. p. now hopes to get some OF
the trains moving before evening.
1t was announced that another
eastern train will be started from
Tacoma at Z o'clock tonight over
the y. p. line.
Hundreds Walk.
More snow or rain is the pre-
diction of the weather man. He
is unable to say when IL will stop.
The thermometer had risen to 30
degrees and warmer weather was
predicted for this evening.
The Tacoma avenue. X street
and Old Steilacoom lines were
the only ones on which traffic
was completely tied up today, but
cars on all other lines were run
ming in spasms. Snow began fall
ing again at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and few cars were able TO
operate.
Hundreds of persons were COM
PEELED to walk to work.
II the weather should clear the
first eastern mail since the storm
began may arrive tonight or to-
morrow morning.
There will be no through cars
on the interurban to Seattle to-
day. The cars are managing to
get only as far as Renton juno
ton.

Drivers
For Charging
10 Cent Fares

Two drivers operating jitneys
under the Tacoma Auto associa-
ton will be expelled from the as
ISOLATION for charging 10 and 10
cent fares during the recent, bad
weather, it was announced today.
Secetary Wilson said although
it cost the drivers more than 5
cents a passenger to operate, the
association did not propose to
stand for a violation of the city
registration laws, and will see
that the offenders are prosecuted.
He said 1t was impossible for
the association to deal with the
drivers who were operating with
out tag and who were not mem
bers Of the association.
Considerable pressure has been
brought against the police, 1t IL
said, by outside interests to ar.
rest all drivers who are charging
| the excess rate.

GILLIESN. P.'S
FOUND DINERS
GUILTY EMPTY

OLYMPIA, Feb. John f..
Gillies, deposed claim agent of
the industrial insurance commits
sion, this forenoon was pro-
nounced guilty by the jury which
heard his forgery case in Judge
Mitchell's court.
Gillies was charged with be-
ing at the head of crime ring
which looted the state industrial
insurance funds of 100000.
Gillies did not bat an eye
when the verdict was read.
He showed absolutely no
sign of emotion.
Attorney Vance Immediately
made a motion for a new trial
and announced that the verdict
probably will be appealed to the
supreme court.
The verdict was reached after
the jury had taken three ballots.
The first showed a vote of to
8 for conviction, the second 8 TO
Is, while the third vote was unan-
rimous. There were I men and
5 women on the jury.
The forgery charge was only
one of three for which Gillies
will have to stand trial. The
other two are for grand larceny.
His trial on one of the grand
larceny charges will begin next
Monday.
Arguments in the trial of Gil
lies were concluded and the
courts instructions were given
at S:15 o'clock last night.
r. Au-Day Argument.
The specific charge against
Gillies in this instance was for
gerry in the first degree for the
alleged uttering of fraudulent
claims in connection with the
looting of funds of the state in
dustrial insurance department.
Final arguments In the case
lasted all day yesterday and the
court room was crowded with
spectators. Throughout the aft
ernoon session Mrs. Gillies sat by
the side of her husband. Her
face was pale and she appeared
to be under great nervous
strain.
Stone Composed.
Gillies was convicted largely
through the testimony Of Frank
w. Stone, sometimes known as
the Portland Kid" who turned
states evidence and told how
the two men had formed a part
nership and had worked together
in making the forgeries.
Gov. Lister has personally d.
rected the investigation of the
state looting since the disclosure
was made. Assistant Attorney
General Wilson handled the case
for the state.
Following the trial of Gillies
which starts next Monday, Frank
w. Stone, Gillies alleged part
ner, will face a charge of grand
larceny. Gillies and Il. W..
Kearns, Olympia saloonman, then
will be tried for grand larceny.
Arthur Young, another of the
alleged loot conspir ators, will be
tried in Tacoma.
The law provides for a sentence
of not more than 20 years in the
penitentiary for forgery.
