VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.,
Dec. 16. (Special.) Deeply mysterious
is the case of George Wallace, who, in a
badly wounded condition, was found on
the military reservation within the city
yesterday morning by two soldiers
Nothing more has been learned of the
extraordinary attack upon Wallace, and
todav there were many rumor anout
the findlngof another man, with liia
throat cut. lying In the post cemetery,
who had been injured as had Wallace.
These wer unfounded. However, a
large dog was found, with his throat
cut and his body mutilated: Wallace is
married and has two daughters.
That robbery was not the motlva is
indicated by the fact that Wallacb had
a check for $59 in Ms pocket when
found. Wallace Is in a critical con
dition, more from exposure and shock
than from the Injury.
' Wallace is a pipefitter and had quit
his Job Friday. It Is said he became
Intoxicated later in the evening. He
is on the "black list," and when he at
tempted to get liquor at the Log Cabin
saloon Saturday night he was taken t-ut
by George Sanford, Deputy Sheriff, and
after being lectured promised to go
homo when he had secured something
to eat. He was not drunk enough for
Sanford to arrest htm. The injured
man alleges he was taken-to where he
was found by two soldiers, who volun
tn take him home. On the way
they attacked htm, he asserts, leaving
