COUNTY PAYS $7.25
TRYING TO GET $1.OO
[CoHtiaHsd from First Pagel

Six years ago, however, the Levy
Court Commissioners decided that
five days was as long as they felt
the county should pay board to the
sheriff in such cases, in addition to
the cost of prosecution.
In the case of Massey, the cost, as
ltemized by Magistrate Dimes,
amounted to $3.50, which added to
the allowance for board to Sheriff
Martin o. Carey for five days, brings
the total cost to 1925. In other
words, it has cost Sussex county
1925 in an attempt to collect 81, and
the dollar has not been collected.
Many of the taxables believe that
those failing to pay their ,capitation
tax should be turned in as delin-
quent, marked from the records and
not allowed the right of franchise.

Island Visiting Day
viii Be June 9TH

June 7th has been designated as Is
land Day for residents of Bainbridge
and Vashon Islands to visit Old IRON
sides at Pier Al in Seattle. Visiting
hours will be between 10 a. M and
S p. m.
AS this is the first and last tour of
American ports that the U. S. Con-
stitution will make there is little doubt
that every school child possible will
be given the opportunity to see the
old ship which has played such an i'm
portant part in our nations history.
1t is entirely possible that arrange
ments will be made to take party
of Island school children over in some
OF the school or privately owned
buses.
1t is reported that II this party is
arranged the ferry company will give
to these students the regular student
rate of cents for each fare, as this
visit is considered of educational i'm
portance.

ALL ISLAND BROADCAST
is BEING PLANNED

In recognition of the fine radio
broadcasts he has recently planned the
Bon Marche has Informed Norman
Edison that he will be given one hour
over KOMO for Vashon Island
broadcast, We regret our inability to
announce this date definitely, but Mr..
Edison is In Seattle today "wednesday
making the final arrangements for the
date Of this program.
He plans to have each number on
this program presented by local talent.
1t is hard to estimate the valuable
publicity Mr.. Edison has secured in the
past few months through the radio
facilities th9t have been offered him.
He has taken advantage Of every OPP
portunity to publicize Vashon Island.
A program Of one hours length costs
exactly 500. so in addition to the
publicity this courtesy which Is being
shown the Island through Mr.. Edison
has a definite monetary value.

Young Man browns
At Burton Beach

The first drowning of many years
IN Quartermaster Harbor claimed
Tuesday evening Donald Spurlock, Of
1927 South Sheridan, Tacoma.
The young man was member Of a
party of young people who had spent
the day at. the Assembly grounds.
About six o'clock they decided to 60 in
swimming. Shortly after entering the
water spurlock began to bob up and
down in the water in peculiar man
ner, and although the others noticed
his peculiar action the fact that he
uttered no outcry led them to believe
that nothing was wrong. However,
when he sank and failed to come to
the surface they Immediately recover
ed the body, and although artificial
respiration was at once applied they
could not revive him.
Members of the party went at once
to Burton for help. The only pull
motor on the Island is owned by DR..
Grandy, who unfortunately was in
Tacoma spending the holiday.
DR.. McMurray responded at once
when called, and under his direction
efforts to revive the young man were
continued for two hours without re-
suits.
Little could be learned of his family,
as up to late hour they could not be
reached by phone.
The party, of which he was mem
Der, returned to Tacoma on the eve
ming boat, while the body was taken
over on the ten o'clock ferry.

Mans Body Found
At Paradise Cove

While eating his lunch at Vashon
Monday, Deputy Sheriff Shattuck re-
ceived word of the discovery of a
drowned man near Bates at Paradise
Cove. The report was made by James
Galley of Yakima, who had been
spending the weekend there with
Seattle friends.
Rising early Monday morning Galley
had gone out on the beach to do some
rifle practicing with 30 caliber rifle,
before breakfast. He fired several
shots at what he supposed to be a
floating log some distance from shore.
He went into the house for breakfast
about $50, coming out later to dis
cover that the supposed log was the
body of a man, left by the ebbing tide.
The body had been kept afloat by
life preserver put on backwards, with
the strings not even tied. One shoe
was missing. Four of the shots fired
by Galley had hit their mark, but it
was evident from the state of the body
that the man had been dead long be-
fore he was struck by the bullets.
The drivers license In the pocket of
his coat proved the man to be Good
win o'Brien, of 3617 10th Ave. S. W.,
Seattle According to information
furnished by E. w. Berven, a friend of
the dead man. and fellow postal en-
ployee, o'Brien, in company with a
woman friend, Miss Totten, left Ia
coma at nine o'clock Sunday evening,
to bring to Seattle % foot open boat,
equipped with a Ford engine, which
Berven and O'Brien had purchased re-
Gently. Beven, who had driven the
two to Tacoma, returned to Seattle in
his auto, and when his friend failed
to appear Monday morning, he notified
authorities.
Up to the present time no trace of
boat or of the woman has been found,
although F. j. Shattuck, in company
with Bill Sears and Jack Allingham,
both from the sheriff's office combed
the beach from Lisabeula to Camp
Sealth Tuesday.
An autopsy performed Tuesday
proved conclusively that death was
due to drowning.
1t is thought that while the life
preserver kept the body of the man
afloat that he may have received an
injury which rendered him uncon-
scious during which time drowning
occurred.
OBrien is the widower of Mrs. Lucy
oBrien who was fatally shot by her
stepson, Leslie Barrett, as the sequel
of a drinking party in March, 1882
and for which Barrett is serving a
term in the state penitentiary.
