accident auto		ALMOST LOSES LIFE AT QUIL CEDA BRIDGE A serious accident occurred Friday shortly before noon when a yellow runabout car skidded on the north end of the Quil Ceda bridge, on the Pacific highway two miles north of Marysville. The driver Fred Kelly, jr. of Seattle, was evidently thrown to the left and out of the front of the car and over the railing to the bottom of the creek, a fall of 36 feet, the car hanging with the front wheels suspended. No one saw the accident, but another man in an auto whom the yellow car had passed some distance back came up in a few minutes and seeing the wreck, assumed that the man was dead and drove into town, and notified the Marysville Garage. Ed Whistler drove out at once and with the assistance of others who had come upon the scene, took the victim into town, turning him over to Undertaker Schaefer, who finding the man still living took him on to the Providence Hospital, Everett, where at last accounts he was still alive suffering from internal injuries. The unfortunate young man was employed as detail man for the Chanslor-Lyon company, automobile accessories, of 914 Pike street, Seattle, and was driving their car. C. T. Noyes, manager of the Chanslor-Lyon company arrived at once upon notification and authorities in Everett, and Kelley's mother and father also came to Everett. There is a sharp turn at the approach to the bridge and on the first rod or so of the structure and it is thought he was going too fast and skidded on the turn, as the planks were wet from the rain.

of interest		DOG MURDERS AND BURIES HIS VICTIM Everybody knows old "Bob," belonging to C. A. Anderson of the paint shop. Bob makes friends with everybody, but doesn't wear out his welcome anywhere. "Mike" an Irish terrier of tan color and snapping habits, is also well known. Mike snaps at other dogs and more than once has bitten Bob, one time leaving him lame for several weeks. Wednesday Bob lost his temper and grabbed Mike and shook him like a rat. It broke his back and when Bob found him lifeless he scratched a hole in the ground and buried him in the potato patch north of the bank. No one saw it but the Indian family living west of the bank, and it would not have been known had they not reported the event. Mike's owner says it's a good job. The old dog belonging to the telephone office, which has been sick for some moths was chloroformed and shot the same evening.

crime	Keirstead, Mrs.	ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SLUGGING REPORTED Marysville seems to have another evidence of the slugger's activities. Sunday evening at about six o'clock Mrs. Keirstead the housekeeper for Father Grace at the Catholic parsonage on Fifth street, when near her gate was struck across the chest nearly taking her breath and bring her to her knees. She saw the man quite plainly as he hurried off, not molesting her further. She says she went into the house and locked herself in, then called the McInnis home on Beach street and her niece, Miss Margaret McInnis, came over and they went home together, notifying Marshal Powers an hour later, who made a fruitless search.
crime liquor	Phillips, N. T.	HARD CIDER MAKES INDIAN WOMAN DRUNK A charge of selling liquor to Indians was brought against N. T. Phillips some days ago my Mrs. Lucy Josh, the complaint alleging that Phillips had sold two gallons of hard cider to Mrs. Mattie Sam, wife of Peter Sam, and that she had got intoxicated by drinking some of it. When Marshal Powers went to supoena the witnesses he secured a quart of the liquor and the prosecuting attorney had it tested by the chemist of the Everett high school. The case was called before Justice Merrick Tuesday afternoon, and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John Sandige appeared for the county. The defendant asked for a change of venue and the case will go before Justice Sheller in Everett. No one who knows Mr. Phillips believes that he had any thought that the cider was strong enough to cause intoxication but the chemist's analysis proved it to contain over 5 per cent alcohol.
crime liquor	Phillips, N. T.	AWAITS TRIAL BEFORE FEDERAL GRAND JURY The trial of N. T. Phillips for selling hard cider, which was taken on a change of venue from Justice Merrick's court to Judge Sheler's court in Everett, was finally dismissed when it came to trial, not apparently for lack of evidence as charged but for the lack of wilful intent. But as in all such cases the federal courts usually takes a hand and accordingly a deputy came to this city Tuesday afternoon and took Mr. Phillips in charge to appear before the Federal court for selling liquor to Indians. In defalut of $1000 bail, Mr. Phillips was taken to jail at Everett to await trial before the Federal grand jury. It seems that the first charge was made through spitework of certain Indians and as Mr. Phillips doubtless had no thought that the cider was hard enough to produce intoxication, it hardly seems necessary to cause so much trouble to one who was guiltless of any wrongful intent. The grand jury is quite likely to take this view of it, and refuse an indictment.
crime robbery	Haugen, Tom	THREAT OF SHOOTING LANDS MAN IN JAIL Tom Haugen, for some years a resident of Hat Island, was brought before Justice Merrick Wednesday to answer to the charge of stealing from and drawing a weapon on Mike Rafferty. The evidence showed that a few days previously Mike Rafferty had found a mattress and other articles belong to him at Haugen's shack and started to take them when Haugen told him to let them alone and get out, and pulled a gun on him. It was an old-fashioned horse-pistol with a barrel a foot long. Rafferty struck the gun up and knocked it out to Haugen's hand. Neither made a further move although Haugen had an iron poker in his hand. Rafferty swore out an information before Justice Merrick and Marshal Powers went over and brought the man to Marysville where Judge Merrick assessed a fine of $100 and sixty days in the county jail. He will work out the fine, making ninety days in jail.
