MOVES TO PORTLAND TO RESIDE
BOXING CONTEST
DRAWS CROWD
Last Friday night’s boxing con­
test provided excitement galore for
the fans of this city, three knock­
outs being the record for the event.
The first bout was an amateur be­
tween Glen Anderson and Gerald
Stark, both of Tillamook. This was
called a draw.
Bennet versus Gooch, both of Til­
lamook, were scheduled to go four
three-minute rounds but this bout
"was quickly terminated when Gooch
knocked Bennett through the ropes
during the first round.
Mike Andor of the Whitney mill
end Jimmy Anderson of Tillamook
next contested for the lightweight
decision. Andor was knocked out in
the first round.
The main event of the evening
was between Kid Hallowell of Brigh­
ton camp and Jay Houser of
Wheeler. This bout was scheduled
for ten thiee-minute rounds, but a
t.olid punch In the second put Hal­
lowell to sleep. It is now planned
to match Houser with some good
talent fiom the outside.
The boxing contests given under
the auspices of the Tillamook box­
ing commission by the American
Legion have been very will attended
and it is expected that the commis­
sion will be encouraged to stage
more of these events in the near
future. Much favorable comment
was heard regarding the fairness of
the decisions and the fairness of the
fights.

CLEVER WINDOW DISPLAY
A window display Which appeals
strongly to the sportsman and the
camper and hiker, In fact to all red-
blooded people at this time of year,
is the one at King-Crenshaw’s this
week.
From a mountain height
falls a silvery cascade; below is a
brawling mountain stream and a
lake, water fowl being seen on the
latter, and in the depths are several
real live trout. Miniature trees and
moss assist to complete the scene,
while a tent, and fishing rods and
other camp accessories add to the
suggestion of the summer season,
and outdoor life. The window de­
sign is very clever, and attracts
many on-lookers.

ROOF FIRE BREAKS OÌJT
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
An alarm was sounded by the
sirenaSaturday afternoon at 3.30
o’clock and the location of the blaze
proved to be in a dwelling on First
street opposite the Allen House, and
was caused by a defective flue.

moss on the roof, but the fire de­
partment soon put it out. The house
was occupied by Mrs. Day and

Evidently struck by the fender of
an automobile while attempting to
cross Stillwell avenue near Third
street, Otto Nicholai suffer }d a brok
e-i 1 tek and other injuries Saturday
night from which he died Sunday
afternoon.
The car was a light offe driven
by Edward W. Fritz, who was taking
two girls home when the accident
happened.
A coroner’s jury setting on the
case Monday brought in a verdict of
accidental death. Fritz’s story was
that he had been coming west on
Third street and had just turned
the corner into Stillwell avenue
when the figure of a man appeared
just in front of his right fender. He
thought that he saw the man fall
over the fender and stopped the car
to investigate. He found Nicholai
lying on the pavement, bleeding
from the nose and in a semi-con­
scious state. The injured man was
taken to the hospital where he died.
All the evidence at the inquest
tended to show that Fritz was in no
way to blame and that he was in
complete control of his machine and
driving at a slow rate of speed when
the accident happened. It was also
brought out that Nicholai had been
drinking liquor during the evening.
Nicholai had been employed in the
city as a janitor for some years past
and leaves one child.

TRAIL TO BE
FINISHED SOON
_______
•
It Is learned that the unimproved
trail which wjas cut out from Bay­
ocean to Cape Mears lighthouse last
year, suffered seriously from slides
last winter, and that a force of men
under R. W. Watkins of Bayocean
are now making a new trail,
from Boyocean which they expect
to have finished soon. The new trail
will be available for summer travel
and will be an improvement on the
old one, with a grade which will not
be over 5 per cent. Bayocean people
find
that
considerable
interest
always centers on a trip to the light
house by those who frequent that re­
sort each summer.

TO

certain election in years was the re­
cent primary state election held

centers of the storm.
Multnomah
county and the coast sections were
strong Hall communities while
Olcott's support was chiefly in east­
ern
Oregon.
Tillamook county
voters were strongly in favor of the
Coos county man. To date Olcott
seems to have the Republican nomi­
nation and Walter Pierce of La

ocratic ticket.
