FINDS BABY
in A TRUCK

George Craig, 1926 South Ash
st., has an unexpected live and
kicking Christmas present today.
1t came as a surprise, two days
late.
It's a tiny, good looking baby,
about two weeks old.
Craig is driver for the Lind
berg Grocery Co. He had just
returned to his truck after deliv-
ering an order at 21st and Jeffer-
son at 6 o'clock Thursday night,
when he found a strange bundle
among his groceries. 1t was the
baby.
No owner was in sight, so he
took it home to his wife who in
tends to take care of 1t. There
were no marks on the baby's
clothing to identify 1t.

Another taxi-driver was
slugged in Tacoma shortly
after midnight Friday.
Patsy Matteson, 1881 80.
Hosmer st., IL lying In the
Tacoma General recovering
from a terrific blow over the
back of the head with a ham,
mer or revolver butt.
Meanwhile, the police are look
ing for an extensively dressed
man, about 25 years old, who was
Matteson's passenger from llth
and Pacific to Center and Ash
streets, where the driver was
found unconscious and bleeding
in his big touring car at 3 O'Clock
Friday morning.
Not First Attack.
The police are working on the
theory that this mysterious man,
or gang of men, have been out
to get" Matteson. This theory
is based on the fact that during
the last year two of Matteson S
cars have been deliberately de-
stroyed.
According to information In
the hands of the police, the want
ed man appeared at 1:15 a. m. in
front OF Feeney's cafe near 18th
and Pacific, where Matteson has
his stand, and called for a taxi.
He was solicited by Fred Bolin,
ANOTHER. taxi driver but the man
passed him up and picked Ont
Matteson's big touring car. He
asked to be driven to South 2bth
and Wilkeson.
On the way out, as an accom-
mediation, Matteson picked up
Clyde Brown, of the Merkle ho-
tel, a taxi-driver friend of his.
Brown rode with Matteson and
his passenger as far as Gath and
Pacific, and then went home to
bed.
At 3 a. m. Matteson was found
unconscious in his car at Center
and Ash streets by Ray Ludwie
of the Union Oil Co.
He had been robbed of 1885,
in cash. The automobile was
drawn up near the curb, indicat-

Judge Reid, assistant to the

the report that "fat salaries OF
railroad officials are to be cut"
In fact, he didn't think there were
many fat salaries among railroad

1t seems that recently, when
American troops were holding a

night. a group of Americans slid
out of the trenches and slipped and

Tacoma's water supply from
Green river has been carrying
typhoid germs for several days.
A bursted sewer at the Page
Lumber Co., on the rivers banks,
has thrown all the sewage of the
big camp into the river, con-
Eliminating the water and making
it dangerous to drink.
News Of the contamination
was not announced by the Ia
coma health department,
altho colon bacillus, the ORR
gin of typhoid, was found in
samples of water taken as
far back as Monday of this
week.
The typhoid danger was not re-
vealed until Friday, when an
argument arose in the city coun-
Gil over the responsibility for
making repairs to the bursted
sewer.
Eating Houses Warned.
City Health Officer DR.. Henry
admitted Friday that the danger
of disease from the contaminated
river supply was very great.
He said that there was more
need than ever for Tacoma to en-
force his public order 10 days ago
that water should be boiled.
All hotels and restaurants were
notified Friday to boil all water
served to patrons or face arrest.
In the meantime, large gang
of men from the water depart
ment has been dispatched to the
Cascades with a carload of sewer
pipe and other materials, with
orders from Commissioner Gronen
to repair the broken sewers at
once.
No Explanation.
No explanation was given by
the health department for failure
TO warn the people of the typhoid
danger.
DR.. Henry explained that he
considered his warning several
days ago to boil the water as suf-
ficient to let the public know
that there was danger.
An argument that developed in
to harsh personalities arose be-
tween Mayor Fawcett, head Of the
health department, and Commits
sioner Gronen of the water de-
partMent, in Fridays council ses-
sion.
Gronen accused Fawcett's
watchmen on Green river of negli-
gence because they had not dis
covered the burst sewer at the
Page camp. Had the report been
made in time, Gronen declared, he
could have served notice on the
Page company to do its. own re-
pairing. and thus saved the city
expense.
