MYSTERY IN
DEATH NOTE

Whether a murder has been
committed in Tacoma, or a hoax
has been played on the police, is
puzzling city detectives Wednes-
day.
The following note, scrawled on
a sheet of foolscap, was found by
City Poundmaster w. II. Nelson
wedged in a crack of the main
gate to the city pound, Gallagher's
gulch, Wednesday morning:
Dear sir
PLEASE fon chief of police and
tell him at this man kill ladie last
night. Miss Miller"
Detectives Garberg and Geary
searched the entire gulch We'd
nesday morning, and will con-
tinue the search during the aft
ernoon.
No evidence of foul play could
be found. Because the pound is
in the bottom of deep ravine,
and is isolated from all other
buildings and not frequented by
the public, the presence there of
murder mystery note is con-
lsidered unusual.
