In Seattle a Year.
ma letter from the grave came

ills the letter urougnt mo uum
toundlng news that the latter was liv

Mrs. Josephson had resided for about
a year until she returned to Marsh
leld a few months ago.
Mrs. Josephson was almost dum
fonnded by the news. That sho
Icould liae lled so near her sister
and not met her or recognized her
veins strange but as she had suppos
ed her sister dead, she might have
pased her often and not given any
resemblance she might have noticed
j second thought. It has been near-
ijseveu jears since she had seen her
aid her appearance has undoubtedly
changed considerably.
From the tone of Mrs. St 'vens'
letter (for that is Miss Wheaier s
tame now) she had evidently writ
ten her sister preUousIy but the mis
sive had probably gone astray as
Mrs. Josephson h.ul not heard from
ter. Mrs. Stevens, then Mrs. Sund
erland, was in San Francisco at the
time of the earthquake and after
.le disaster relath es were unable to
locate her and finally thought she
most been numbered among the un

Mrs. Josephson could not be seen

family were greatly mystified and
would write for more jinrtucul rsj

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Liljeqvist Calls Pugilists
To Testify.
(Special to The Times.)
COQUILLE, Ore., April 10. Ac
cording to reports afloat here, all of
the principals in the recent prize
fight at Bandon will be required to
appear before the Coos county grand
jury here next week and exifaln
why they are not subject to the Ore
gon state law prohibiting prize fight
ing. It was understood today that De
puty Prosecuting Attorney Liljeqvist
has had subpoenas Issued for Jess
Day, of Marshfleld, Billy Thomas,
Pud Nosier and Arthur Fish and oth
ers in connection with the event.
The Oregon law makes prize fighting
a serious offense and all connected
with it are liable to a stiff sentence.
While the jury last summer accepted
the boxer's claim that they were
merely giving a boxing exhibition
and not a prize fight, Mr. Liljeqvist
Is unders.ood to believe that the fact
that Day put Thomas to' sleep for
ten minutes with a knockout blow
'!! convince the grand jury that
the bout was something more than a
scientific exhibition of the manly art.
