ELECTRIC JUICE
PLAYS PRANKS
The iity of Tacoma was shock
ed Saturday night when two feed
wires from the new Nisqually
power plant spilled 2,200 volts
of electric "juice" onto the wet
pavement of Tacoma avenue.
Patrolman B. R. Sowers was
leaning against a steel pole and
several pedestrians were wend
ing their way home through the
rain.
Suddenly there was a "general
"seating" upon the sidewalk, a
hundred tiny flames playing
about the ends of a hundred um
brella sticks.
Incidentally, the shock put out
of commission the entire string
of lights on Tacoma avenue.
ENOUGH POISON
TO KILL MAN
Refused his usual daily f>-grain
dose of morphine while he was
being confined in the city Jail,
Barry Carson, 35 years old, made
. a violent attack upon his fellow
prisoners last night and was
quieted only when the morphine
was administered by the jailer.
Five grains of the drug is suffi
cient, as a usual thing, to kill a
man. In five minutes Carson
was transformed from a maniac
to a most happy man. .

"MUST BE AWFUL TO LIVE
WITH MAN YOU ABHORR"
In "A Butterfly 0:1 the Wheel,"
at the Tacoma, .Miss Dorothy
Lane of London is heaps an.l
heaps glad it is so extremely dif
ficult to get a divorce In England;
In reality Miss lane thinks the
Western divorce laws heaps and
heaps the best.
In the show and out. wherever
she happens to be, which is gen
erally In the nearest park, Mlm
Lane is heaps and heaps charming
and pretty. She hasn't looked
deeply into divorce statutes, but
she has conclusions and decisions
of her own.
"It is awful for a woman to
be forced to live with a man
whom she cannot lo\e," Is the
reason Miss Lane thinks Western
laws superior to those of Eng
land. "Of course this must be
only a guess with me, for I can
not speak from experience, yet I
am sure 1 am right."
In the play Miss Lane doesn't
want a divorce. Her husband
does—until he hears the eloquent
plea she makes in court to pre
vent him leaving her.
But Miss Lane would rather
talk of parks. Point Defiance
park is a wonderful little place—
just wonderful. Miss Lane says
so. And the dear little zoos, they
are delightful.
Seattle is a dreadfully dteary
place, all rain and fog and stay
indoora. Worse than London,
even.
"The Butterfly in the Wheel,"
at the Tacoma theater last night
and tonight, deals with a man
who had plenty of time to make
money and less time to devote to
his young wife. The answer —an
estrangement, followed by com
promising coincidences In which
an alleged lover is caught by the
husband. It was a real divorce
trial in the third act, ehowlng
the young wife under cross-exam
ination. Trickery of a woman
who claimed to be the wife's
friend was discovered, and hubby
withdrew his divorce plea, and it
was all settled.

young Turkish officer terribly
injured with sabre cuts today is
receiving treatment In the hospi
tal at Kieka, Montenegro. He
commissioned an outpost before

grins threatened the place he
rode out unattended in the moon
light and challenged the bravest
among the enemy to slack com
.bat.
An old Montenegrin soldier ad
vanced and accepted the chal
lenge. For more than an hour
they fought, scrupulously ob
serving the etiquette of the duel
code. The Montegrln proved the
better swordsman .Finally the
Turk, blinded by blood, dropped
to the ground. The Montegrin
stanched his wounds and had him
removed to the hospital.
