|. W. WIS POISON FOOD?
Chicago Authorities Believe Recent
Deaths Result of Terrorist Plot.

Chicago. Aug. 2S.--Downtown lunch
rooms affected by a walters strike
have doubled their watch over every
article of food served, it was made
known today, as the result of suspi-
cions that the poisoning of thirty pa
irons in a restaurant on Wednesday
night was the result of an I. W. w
plot. Efforts of the l. W. w. to in
cite a strike OF lunch room employees
generally were frustrated by prompt
action of the police, and at a re-
cent I. w w. meeting sabotage is said
to have been openly advocated as
means of advancing organization of
restaurant and lunch room employees.
From this detectives investigating the
poisoning case advanced the theory
that it may have been the first step
in a campaign of terrorism in down
town eating places.

SOLDIER SAYS He
BORROWED" AUTO
VETERAN OF MEUSE ARGONNE
HELD on CHARGE OF
STEALING.

II didn't steal it; | just borrowed
it so could take "a ride"
This is what BERTHE Asseltine said
when placed in the city Jail here
last week on a charge of stealing
an automobile. Asseltine is a veter-
an of the world war and saw active
service overseas. He carried his dis
charge papers in his pocket.
These papers showed that he en-
listed at Harriston, Mont, in May,
1917. and that he fought in the
Meuse-Argonne offensive from Octo-
Der 20 to November H. His dis
charge states that his character was
excellent and that he was good SOL
der. Asseltine stoutly maintains
but simply borrowed it for a little
while to take a ride in.
Wednesday afternoon Asseltine,
driving a Ford car, ran into a team
of horses working on the road about
10 miles west of Olympia. He was
driving the car at about 35 miles an
hour when he ran into the team and
broke one of the horses legs. it is
reported Bob Langford was driving
the horses, which are owned by G. II.
Whipple.
Whipple was called to the scene of
the accident. He asked Asseltine his
name and Asseltine gave the name of
r. H. Jackson and said that he lived
at IA c street. Tacoma. A car then
came along and Asseltine jumped
into it. Whipple became suspicious
and jumped into his car and followed
Asseltine.
Soon the people with whom Asset
tine was riding turned off on another
road, so Whipple picked him up and
brought him to the police station,
where he acknowledged that he had
borrowed the car for a little ride"
and gave the officers his right name.
| The real owner of the car has not
been located. but it is thought that it
belongs to some hunters. The police
held Asseltine until the sheriff came
from Shelton, as the case is a Mason
county case, since it happened just
across the Thurston county line.
Asseltine is 20 years old.

PECO INVESTORS ARE WELL
PLEASED WITH PROGRESS

Mr. w. W.. Woolsey president bf
the Peco Producing q Refining Com.
pany has just returned to Tucumcari
after an extensive trip in the northern
part of the state. The trip was made
in the interest of the company and
the main purpose was to learn in so
far as was possible what the farmer
and rural folk thought Of the plans
and purposes Of the company.
The towns along the FL Paso &
Southwestern between Tucumcari and
Dav ~ were visited, the farmers who
live In tn. territory tributary to these
towns were also visited, as were maNy
farmers living on the French tract
and the Maxwell tract, in facts num-
eeous stops were made on the drive
from Dawson thru French on the road
20 Ration. In telling of the trip Mr..
Woolsey says II wanted &c get out and
meet some OF the manv people who
have purchased our stock and TO talk
with them and get first hand infor-
nation as to just how they felt to-
ward the company and its plans,
was agreeably surprised to learn
that every man visited was a booster
for Tucumcari and her refinery and
there was every evidence Of optimism
and enthusiasm regarding Tucumcari
as an oil field"
Accompanying Mr.. Woolsey was Nr.
VIM. II. Phipps who is a newspaper
man and booster for Tucumcari. The
News was also informed that the big
boilers for the refinery will arrive
shortly as will the large storage tanks,
the later being looked for within the
next week. The second building at
the plant is almost completed and
two more will be starred before Mon
