TACOMA. July 11. Another
hunt is being carried on In the vicinity
of Tacoma and a dozon deputies are
now on the search for' a man known
only by tho name of Smith and charged
with the murder of Marshal. Parsons
of Centralla.
Smith is now believed to be In the
neighborhood of Tacoma, but up to the
present time all efforts to capture htm
have been in vain. He succeeded in get
ting out of Lewis County, where the
murder was committed and evading the
officers on his trail. It waa thought
likely that he would head" toward Ta
coma and the latest reports are that he
Is now In or about the city.
Several women who were picking
berries - in the brush near one of the
suburbs on the south edge of the city
report seeing a man bareheaded and
with his coat off dodging about in the
brush and acting strangely. He seemed
to be afraid of being captured and word
was immediately sent in to the officers,

the murderer. Smith started on his1
night with, a bicycle, but it is said that
Sheriff Urquhart of Lewis County and
his deputies made the run so hot for
him that be has abandoned his wheel j
and Is now making bis way oh foot by
night through the timber. Several of
ficers have been on search for the fugi
tive all night and express themselves
as confident of, capturing him before
long.
Murderer Smith has again given the
officers the slip and the posse in pur
suit has been thrown off the track by his
clever dc-ubtog-. It Is not positively
known today whether the fugitive is
making his way south toward Centralia

TO MAKE BRANDY
" Secretary Max M. Shlllock of the
Board of Trade has received a letter
from James McDole of Vancouver,

open a factory in this city for the
manufacturing of brandy. The Van
couver man states that he knows a
process whereby the finest of brandies
may be made from peaches, apples,

He says that every year thousands of
bushels of fruit go to waste in this
state that might be turned into brandy,
thereby adding many hundreds of dol
lars to the sum already made by Port
land factories.
As half the number of deputy sheriffs
and clerks employed in the tax depart

season occupied only a part of the day
and gave them plenty of time to attend
and enjoy ball games Just six of their
number Will be dropped in a short time.
and one deputy also will be left off tha
payroll in tha main office of the Sheriff.
Two others will be assigned to guard
county prisoners at work on the rock
pile, partly to dissipate the languor of
summer time and partly to give them
an opportunity to earn their aalarles.
The suggestion that the members of -.

Tha number of deputies now employed,
in the tax department of the Sheriff's
office is 11. One receives 1100 per month,
two $90 and eight 175 each. By cut

will save 1460 a month. It is practically
conceded that the force is larger than
is neeaea at tnis time or year, ana its
members appear to hold the same opin
ion, for they have not hesitated to lay
off for any afternoon to go to a ball
game. The same might have been said
of the last night force, whose members
