SNOQUALMIE, Wash., May 23.—The breaking of a calf’s leg is believed to have been responsible for the shooting and killing of Henry Dillman, a rancher at Snoqualmie, Wash., by his neighbor, T. L. Richards, at 8 o'clock this morning. Rich- ards has surrendered himself to Deputy Sheriff Moffat but re- fuses to talk. The calf was owned by Dillman, and he is be- lieved to have threatened Richards with arrest for breaking the calf’s leg. This so angered the latter, the authorities here believe, that he whipped his gun out and shot Dillman Dillman leaves a widow and four small children.

TT HOW FUND STARTED FOR JOHNS, HERO BOOTBLACK Is ttle ungrateful? Tut,tut! Do elephants climb trees? Last Tuesday The Star voiced the demand from iny readers that the city give some substantia! proof of its appreciation of the hero- ism of Newton Johns, the negro bootbiack who saved ten lives at the Colman dock last Sunday. that same afternoon six men were playing cards at the Seattle jal Club, First av. and Columbia st. Somebody brought a copy “Plucky thing to do,” said one. “And a fine idea-that about setting the boy up in business,” said another, “I like it a dollar's worth,” remarked a third. Six large, round dollars were plunked on the table. An empty cigar box was found, and a slot cut in the top. And the Newton Johns fund was started } It's been growing ever since. Nobody knows how much is in the box, because it is sealed.

Saloons, restaurants, letarias and even department stores could do it, too. Our box will stay where it is until the end of next week; then we'll turn the money over to Mayor Cotterill, to do with jas he ghinks best.” | The Star has received several sums, large and small, for Newton | Johns, which have been turned over to the Commercial Club. It is likely that at the next meeting of the club resolutions will be adopted, urging the city council to find a suitable site for a shoeshin- ing stand for Johns.
