LOTS OF BETTING
ON ELECTION DAY

Sporadic wagering on the outcome
OF the mayoralty contest was evident
during the campaign. but the real
betting was done Tuesday. Lots OF
money was wagered that Fitzgerald
would lead the ticket. coupled with
a prediction that Duncan would be
eliminated entirely from the list OF
nominees. Not a few wagers were
offered by Caldwell supporters that
their candidate would be the next
mayor Of Seattle. regardless Of the
outcome OF the primaries.
Mayor Fitzgerald pinned his cam
paign on 'Duncanism," holding that
Americanism was the sole issue
Caldwell based his attack on Fitzger-
aid on ring rule" at the city hall
and criticism Of the municipal street
railway. Duncan appealed for n
nomination 10 that the fair name
of Seattle might be redeemed"
Maj. Caldwell left for three-day
rest In the country early Wednesday.

Policeman Who Worked on Case

Fresh tracks of an automo-

a roadway near the spot
where the body of Mrs. Eliza

with the murder OF Mrs. Bryan.
This was the first coincidence
brought out by the state Wednesday
In Its effort to prove the two defend
ants guilty by circumsiantial evi.
dence. The witness was Policeman

Howaldt testified that he stopped
his car at the curb some distance
from tho small park overlooking
Lake Washington. in which the body
was found and. with n party Of de
tectives, walked across the park.

ibid you notice N small roadway

cutor Patterson OF the witness.

roadway"
Yes. I noticed fresh automobile
tracks. There were tracks of two

Yes. an Essex car. The tread OF

Every vestige OF unconcern fed
from the faces OF the mother and son
defendants when Deputy Prosecutor
Patterson revealed for the first time
the remarkable chain Of circum-
stances by which he said he expect
ed to prove them guilty. He said:

DEMONSTRATES VALUE
PURE BRED SHEEP
HAMPSHIRE RAM TWO MONTHS
OLD AT "ASHLAND ACRES"
WEIGHS EIGHTY POUNDS.

James w. Ridley is demonstrating
at his farm Ashland Acres that good
breeding in sheep is just as valuable
and just as profitable as it is in any
other line of live stock. Mr.. Ridley
has imported from England several
pure bred Hampshire ewes. A ram
lamb from one of these ewes fs as
fine specimen of the breed as one
could find in many days journey.
The little fellow at two months and
eight days of age weighs eighty
pounds. That is about the average
weight of five months old lambs in
Maury county from the grade stock
that is raised here. This young lamb
has magnificent bone and looks for all
the world like he was twice as old as
he is.
From this beginning Mr. Ridley ex-
poets to build fine herd of Hamp.
shires here and to demonstrate that
pure breeding pays. He says that
the Hampshire is to sheep what the
Doddie is to the beef breed, that it Is
in a class by itself when it comes to
lamb and mutton.

This firm has great faith in Maury

not believe that it will ever again be

conclusion that Maury county land,
everything considered, is today the
