The only warning given was a re- quest that Chambers remove his overcdat He replied that he saw no reason why he should. Knight then struck Chambers in the face, following it up with a shower of blows, Dr. BE. C. McKibben was summoned to attend the injured man. A warrant has been issued for Knight's arrest, He is a large man, weighing between 210 and 226 pounds, while Chambers tips the scales at less than 150. Knight has been an employe of the county com missioners for one year, This is not the first intimation of trouble that Chambers has received since he began his attack against the present system of managing the ferries. An acquaintance from the courthouse approached him last Fri- day evening with a warning that if he kept up these articles he would have trouble on his hands, Cham: bers’ reply was that he was in for trouble then, as the articles would be finkuhed, STAR WRITER IS |Seattle’s Greatest Season of | GWEN BEATING }§Grand Opera to Open Tonight By Louise Raymond ited by the organization this te The Scotti Grand Opera company,| The list of artists includes Farrar, which js just starting its fourth sea-| Gentle, Scotti, Chamlee and Stracel- son and second transcontinental | ari, all of whom have been heard in | tour, will open an engagement of | the city before. | four days at the Metropolitan theatre} Alice Gentle, who was then gucst tonight, artist, and Chamlee scored a marked | | This company, under the manage-| gucceas with the Scotti forces last| | ment of Antonio Scotti, one of the| year, Other stars in the company! most famous baritones of the day,| are Charles Hackett, Leon Rothier, | contains only artists of the first) Giordano Paltrinier|, Joseph Hislop. | |rank.

Mills, 131844 Pacific ave., and Frank Peterson, 763 South L st. Mills and Peterson are owntrs a i 2s Mosquito, A swimmer who could eas- reach Mosquito from McNeil might have a much harder time crossing the shorter distance from Mosquito to the mainland. It is not improbable, therefore, that he would take a boat to con- nue the journey if one were availa- ble on Mosquito, as there happened to be. It was some hours before Pitt passage was closed by guards after Gardner ran the gauntlet of bullets and made his getaway from the prison Monday afternoon. He would have had plenty of time to have reached the passage and to have crossed it, it is said. With the stolen boat he could have been miles away from the before the guards got there to close it, thinking to hold him still on the island. MAY BY NOW BE SECURE IN OLYMPICS ~ Had he gone directiy across the passage and set the boat adrift, the current would have carried it for miles perhaps, thus leaving the beach free of trace of him, If he did this, and headed straight -|for the interior, he may now be in the fastnesses of the Olympic moun- tains where John Tornow, the fa- mous outlaw and “beast man” lived for many years before he. was shot to death several years ago after a dozen murdors.
