morning of the death of Walter T..
Daggett, which occurred at Billing
ham, Wash, August 13. No par
ticulars regarding his death have
been received. The secretary of
the Scottish Rite body at lewiston
received the message announcing
the sad news, Wednesday evening.
The following account taken from
the Lewiston Tribune will be of III
terest to the many friends of Waiter
Daggett in this section:
On August 18th news dispatch
out from Seattle told of the myster-
lous disappearance Of Mr.. Daggett.
He had few days before that time
purchased cigar store at 1918
Third avenue, and after owning the
business day or so disposed OF it.
That was the last heard of Mr.. Dag
gett alive by his family and his
closest associates in Lewiston.
When it was known that Mr.. Dag
gett was evidently i'll, representa-
tive of the Masonic lodges of Lewis
ton was sent to Seattle to try and
locate him, being assisted by
Masons of Seattle. Their search
was unavaillng, however. In Bell

Mr.. Daggatt was made known.

lodge, and arrangements were made
to ship the body to kendrick, for

Lewiston. He was active IN repub-
:. lican politics, and served Nez

auditor under William Clifford
state land selecter under Ben Bush
and deputy sheriff under Porter
Shafer. When Mr.. Shafer's term
expired Mr.. Daggett was employed
with the government for brief
4 period and then went to Seattle tC
q engage in business. his stay in that
clty being of short duration, accord
= ing to advices.
The deceased was man of steri
;, ing qualities and with his pleasing
U personality attached to himself
many staunch friends. The posi-
tions of trust he held were filled un
falIingly and with that business
acumen that counts so much on th'
part of servant to the people. HI
TX was active in Masonic circles ant
I'd gave great attention to affairs con
is nected with the Scottish RIt
10 lodges. He was a member of tn
it blue lodge of Masonry at Kendrick

1t is believed that the game laws
in this section are being generally
observed. Uncontirmed reports
however, state there are a few who
are not observing the law and are
shooting grouse or pheasants before
the season opens. This is a risky
business and not very sportsman
like.

comrades is natural
There remained then five other candidates to be con-

who want it success instead of failure.
For these reasons, the Boo club Endorsed Fitzgerald

resentaon in the city council best represented by men
of Bottoms type
They indorsed Fitzgerald because they knew he

gerads experience is needed by the city. They knew
that when Fitzgerald mayor, the city railway was
