About third of Spanaway pre-.
cinct, in the northeast corner
was amputated by the county
commissioners Friday morning
on the petition of its residents
and created into a new precinct
known as Collins, with its voting
place at schoolhouse No. 1O7 on
the Collins county road.
Mrs. Lille Mahaffey was ap-
pointed registrar.
A large number of residents of
the northwest corner of the old
Spanaway precinct crowded the
commissioners office to explain
that they have had to pass the
nearer voting place in Brookdale
precinct in order to vote at the
Spanaway voting place.
Some of them said 1t meant an
eight-mile walk for them.
They did not want to be in
cluded in Brookdale precinct, but
wanted q voting place of their
own, which Commissioner Stay
den said they seemed clearly en-
titled to.

Operating SO calmly that two
women passengers had no knowl-
edge of the crime until it was all
over, two masked men held up
Conductor B. H. Seybel of the Pa
cific Traction line at 10 O'Clock
Thursday night, relieving him of

cred to the rear platform.
Both suddenly leveled blue-steel
revolvers at Seybel, and ordered

CENSORS
TO BE in
SEATTLE

State censorship of motion pic
lures in Washington is assured,
according to Commissioner Petit,
who spent Thursday at Olympia
introducing his new bill to men,
bers of the senate and house of
representatives.
Every person whom I talked
with realized the necessity of mo-
tion picture censorship, and was
enthusiastic over this BILL" said
Petit Friday.
81 have no doubt whatever that
the bill will go through both
houses without argument. 1t will
be introduced next week."
The bill provides for a board
of three censors, appointed by the
governor. The board will prob
ably have headquarters at Seattle,
where the principal film agencies
are located.
Each film coming into the state
will be inspected. If passed, it
will have a state censorship "tail
piece" similar to that of the ma
tional board of censors, attached
to the end of the film. A fee of
81 per 1000 feet of film, for in
spection, will be charged.
The board will have the power
to reject any films, or make elm

A distant, reverberating report
caused the two men to jerk into
attitudes OF tense surprise.
What the hell" exclaimed
Overland, running toward the
tent. THAT wasn't the kid. Col
lies only packin' a automatic,
and here it is"
lie stopped in the tent-door,
grabbed up the gun and belt, and
ran down the canyon. Winthrop
followed breathlessly.
But Overland did not go far. He
almost stumbled over the prone
figure of Collie. With a cry be
tore his handkerchief from his
throat and plugged the wound.
"Clean thru" he said, getting to
his feet. Get the whisky"
Then Overland picked up the
limp form. So this was the end
of all his planning and his toll?
Already he had planned to send
Winthrop, in his big car. for a
doctor. The car was at the desert
town, where a liveryman accept
ed a royal monthly toll in ad-
vance to care for it. Winthrop,
the Fastener, must ride to town
on the outlaw Yuma colt.
Two hours later wild-eyed
sweating pony tore thru the des-
ert town at run. Her rider slid
to the ground as the liveryman
grabbed the pony's bride.
"Take-care--of her." gasped
Winthrop. 81 want-the ma
chine"
Anybody hurt?"
Eyes. Who did that?"
Winthrop stood with mouth
open and eyes staring. The tires
of the big machine were flat.
Il dunno"
"Well-the job is done. Take
care of the horse. I'll be back in
minute"
At the station Winthrop wired
for special car and engine.
1t was dark when the surgeon,
drying his hands, came from the
canyon stream to the tent. THAT
about all | can do now" he said,
slipping into his coat.
Overland. who was sitting on
box beside the tent, stood up
and stretched himself. us he
goin' to make it," he asked.
II can't say. He is young, In
good condition, and strong. If you
will get me some blankets, I'll
turn in. Call me in about two
hours"

MAYOR AGAIN
HITS LIBRARY

Management of the city library
came in for another roast by the
council Friday, as the result of a
letter received by Mayor Fawcett
from Mrs. Minnie c. Bray, libra
rian of the former Fern Hill
branch.
Mrs. Bray wrote the mayor that
she was willing to conduct the
branch library without salary,
and would provide a boy to take
books back and forth to the main
library, but that the library board
had refused.
I'm mad" said Fawcett, when
he entered the council chamber.
Then he read Mrs. Bray's letter.
IF that doesn't show the atti-
tude of the library board towards
the public, I'd like to know it," he
said.
Here is community that
wants a branch library awfully
bad, and will furnish it without a
cent of expense, but the library
board passes up the chance"
cts just another instance
where the library board eoes out
of its way to cripple its own serv-
ice, in order to argue that the
city hall is not giving it suffi-
cient funds for maintenance" said
Gronen.
81 called up Harry O'Neal, a
member of the board. and he said
that he was helpless to do any
thing said the mayor. 1.-THE
board spends $4,000 a year for
service and $4,000 for new books,
but still it tries to prejudice the
people against the council"
