II the names Of the principals
and the facts in the foregoing
seem unfamiliar. there is a rea-
son. The incidents mentioned
are found in a justice court
docket of Steilacoom precinct
covering the period from 1869
to 1889, inclusive. The leather
bound volume WAS turned over
to the Pierce county auditor Of
flee with other records from the
office Of the late VIM. A. o'Don-
nell. justice Of the peace OF
Steilacoom precinct. This vol
ume. with another covering a
later period, include a record Of
the troubles Of Steilacoom folk
and some of the strangers with
the gates over a period Of nearly
forty years. Because the cases
have long since been disposed of
and most of the parties passed
on to another world, the old
records have been deposited
with the Washington State His
torical society.

Constable Getchell
Gets His Man
But Cock Eye George
Beats the Rap"
Old Docket Diseloses
Affairs in Steilaeoom
DILL JOSEPH. who lived out
~ Steilacoom way, lost his Win
chester rifle. A few days later
he came across Cock Eye George
carrying a rifle which was the
dead spit" Of his old gun. II
was well known that Cock Eye
had never owned a Winchester
and had not the money to buy
one. Naturally Bill jumped to
the conclusion that Cock Eye
had his gun, so he hurried to
the office of Judge Thomas Wad-
dell. justice of the peace for
Steilacoom precinct, and swore
out a warrant charging Cock
Eye with petit larceny for steal
ing a rifle worth $40.
The warrant was given to
Constable L. B. Getchel to
serve, but he was a long time
finding Cock Eye, who was dis
posed to wander and often went
away on long hunting trips.
But Constable Getchell, like the
"Mounties," always got his man,
and two months later brought
Cock Eye into court.
Cock Eye, of course, pleaded
not guilty. He said he was
ready to go to trial but would
like to postpone the occasion =
long enough to go and bury his
wife. Judge Getchell said
that was o X provided some
body would sign Cock Eyes
bond for 500.
John stiles would do that for
his old friend, and he made his
mark on document which speci-
fled that he would pay the court
500 If Cock Eye failed to ap-
pear.
After the funeral Cock Eye
came back and demanded a trial.
The next thing was TO find Bill,
who had signed the complaint.
This was one case where Con-
stable Getchell failed to get his
man, but after a couple of post
ponements. the complaining wit
ness came into court.
1t was rather a complicated
situation, according to the evil
dence. Witnesses testified that
Bill had told them he lost his
gun while hunting. A couple of
weeks later they found a Win
chester rifle in the brush a short
distance off the main street of
Steilacoom. Needing money,
they pawned the gun to Frank
Serbling for $3.50 and agreed to
redeem it in q month for So.
Just how the gun came into pos
session Of Cock Eye does not APP
pear in the record, but Judge
Waddell dismissed the charge
and assessed the costs, S35, to
Bill.
At this stage of the case there
arose an argument as to who
really owned the gun-Bill, the
plaintiff. or the chap who had
loaned the $3.50.
Judge Waddell settled the
argument by remanding the CUR
to the custody of the court. Ano
Stelacoom settled down to tht
usual routine until the next case
should develop.

The United States owed politically

was the presidency. Indeed, he was

high office but was defeated by
Grover Cleveland in the election of

New Ruling On Stored Wheat

A new ruling which will permit
Glacier County farmers to redeem
wheat stored on the farm under
government loan in order to pay
the release amount was an.
nounced recently by John G. Hag-
lund, President of the county ag-

The wheat must be delivered
to the elevator within ten days
