the National Automobile Theft Bureau,

his car last September, he had bought
stolen car.
The proper papers were shown, the
thief was awaiting in car on the
street. guarded by two detectives. Mr..
Randall identified the man, an Everett
Shullanberger, as the man from whom
he had purchased the car; an In
spection was made of the number Of
the engine, showing plainly under a
strong light, that the original number
had been filed off, and n new number
stamped on.
The agent of the Insurance Co.,
demanded the car to reimburse them
for 5000 insurance they had been COM
PEELED to pay the owner. So Mr..
Randall sadly watched his car driven
away.
A visit to Seattle on Monday con-
WINGED the pastor that there was little
or no chance of recovering any Of the
$500 he had paid for the car. Shul-
lanberger 1t is said, represented him
self as q regular salesman from the
Blangy Motor Co., and all the business
was transacted in one OF their estab-
lishments, but in such smooth way

SUSAN MCLEAN

Old-time friends were indeed sad
dened by hearing OF the death of Susan
MCLEAN which occurred in Seattle
hospital last Friday evening. Miss
MCLEAN was in her usual health up
until Monday evening when she COM
planned of feeling Ill. On Tuesday
she was taken to the hospital ac-
companied by Mrs. Halsey Taylor who
remained with her practically all of
the time. An operation was performed
in vain attempt to save the life of
Miss MCLEAN.
On Thursday a niece, the daughter
OF Mrs. Anyway. arrived from Cali
fornia to care for her mother who has
been an invalid for several years, and
who depended on the care of he. sister.
Miss Susan. Apparently satisfied that
her sister was to be cared for Miss
Mclean sank rapidly after her niece's
ARRIVAL, and passed away Friday even
ing. Funeral services were held Sum-
day afternoon at Blight's mortuary,
with the Rev. Hugh Armstrong Of
ficiating. Many of the former Vashon
Island friends attended the simple
services.
Susan MCLEAN came to Vashon Is
land from Pennsylvania, with her
family some forty years ago, and has,
ever since retained connections with
the Island. The history of the family

companion of Wilkins, his sad fate off
North Cape is recent tragedy of the
Attic.
1t is the Spirit that inspires such
men that brought Scout Craft into
existence and created a school out of
which the explorers of the future will
graduate Few movements deserve
support and encouragement more than
Scout Craft, and it was to increase
such interest that Sandy" Smith
consented to return to Burton and
present an entertainment for the bene-
fit of both Scout Troops. Scoutmast-
ers 1. o. Thompson of the Vashon
Troop and H w. Grimland of Burton
Troop are anxious that great sue
cess shall be made of this event, and
all friends Of the boys are urged to
give hearty support by making a
capacity audience on the evening of

Lou" Vogel and his youthful partner, Dowrie, at p. m. appeared on the hand ball court full of fight. and at exactly 5:1S p. m. they todded down from the arena much the' worse for wear. The Strong team handed them a shellacking. "and how" so Yer non Read remarked. by scores of 21-4, 21-2. and no one cared to keep score of the third game. It is said Dowrie did mighty well considering the amount of support he received. Anderson's kill shots were working and his partner Strong had a beau tjful dipping left which was mighty mean to handle. however the losers are now looking around for new partners. and possibly they will be more fortunate on their second at tempt No matter how badly Lou" Vogel is beaten, it does not dis courage him and he plays just as hard the next time. With Vogel the game isn't won until it is over.
