May Have Oace Lived Near Mere
A young man, probably apout 20
year* old, was found Mofiday in a box
car at Montesino, Washington, near
Graya Harbor, brutally beaten to
death. There wu nothing on him
in the way rd identification, but near
the car waa found a hat purchased
from J. C. Freeman & Co., of this
city.
The boy was rather heavily dessed,
among his clothes being a fancy vest
with a plaid lining. He wore lu n-
berman’s high toped pace, but in the
heela waa cork so as to raise the heel
into a position similar to that of a
foot in a high heeled riding boot.
Before his death, the boy had been
seen around Montesano the previous
Friday and Saturday with two men
about 45 years old, one of whom wore
a black mustache. These men have
disappeared, as has a pack the boy
had been carrying
The dead boy is about 5 feet 10
inches tall, weighs about 140 pounds,
hss dark hair evidently trained to
grow back and a straight fine looking
noee. ,
The above information has been
forwarded to J. C. Freeman at Moro,
who remembers the hat F|K)ken of and
who also thinks he sold the young
man a pair of boots such as he wore,
because when sold they were lar^e
for the purchaser, who f-aid he want
ed to wear heavy socks with them.
B. W. Talcott, newspaper reporter,
living at 308| South I slreet, Aber
deen, Washington, wrote the letter
in hopes that it may reach some
relative or friend who would be able
to identify the dead boy. The sheriff
also wrote a second letter with a
more complete discription of the
murder and boy. -Further informa
tion will be gladly furnished by
either party.
The number of Pacific coast fir mills
that have gone onto the 5-day week

were the reasons assigned for reducing
output until weather In the east per

mit for an Installation on Clearwater

reservoir extending about six miles
upstream, to furnish storage and pow

other developments on- the North

A gift is a gift and there'a no such
thing as an “Indian Giver'' in Potts*
ville, a Pennsylvania judge decreed
Saturday.
“We want back our jewelry and
clothing. The world does not seem
to be coming to an end and we’ve got
to go on living,” wailed a group of
“Doom Followers” to the judge.
The group consisted of persons who
believe^ with Robert Reidt of Long
Island that the world would be con
sumed Friday. So they gave away
their earthly possessions, including
all their valuables. Now they want
“’em back.”
“Can’t do it,” said the judge. “A
gift’s a gift and perfectly legal in
Pottsville. ”
