MAY HAVE BEEN CASE OF SUICIDE.
An autopsy was held yesterday afternoon at GIFFORD's undertaking parlors over the remains of Mrs. Norman WILLIAMS, of Fairhaven, who died very suddenly on Wednesday night, and although no direct conclusions were arrived at, there are strong indications that her death was due to strychnine poisoning. Dr. BIGGS and Dr. COMPTON made the examination under the direction of Coroner NOICE, who investigated the affair yesterday, and from the information which he gathered ordered the autopsy. These parties would make no precise statements in the matter until a more complete analysis had been made, but the evidence goes to show that poison was taken, whether with suicidal intent or otherwise is not fully known. The deceased, Mrs. WILLIAMS, was the wife of Norman WILLIAMS, who was implicated in a serious case of supposed robbery and murder in Oregon; and up to the time of her sudden death she appeared to be strong and in good health. She died too soon to receive the news that the case against her husband had been dismissed.

Mr. La BOUNTY came to Washington in February, 1902, and his wife and family the following April. Just when life was sweet and the flowers of beauty were blooming, the reaper, death, came and took away the loved ones from their earthly home into the portals of th eternal bliss, while the sting of death remains with the sorrowing family. Ocie and James were loved by all who knew them, and it seems sad, indeed, that they who had brought joy and gladness into their home and scattered sunshine wherever they went should be called away so early, but when the death messenger knocks at our door and bids us, we must go. The tiny buds are plucked away with the roses that were blooming, and now bloom beyond the skies, and the sorrowing parents and little brothers with many relatives and friends are mourning the early departure of the loved ones. Besides their parents they leave two little brothers, Georgie and Willie, George being a twin brother to the departed James.

RUN OVER BY STREET CAR
Ernest LAMKIN, the ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. LAMKIN, who conduct the Irving house, on Dock street, was run over and killed by a street car in from of LARSON's livery barn on Elk street about 8? o'clock last night. Ernest and Joe HILL, the ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. HILL, were playing together on Magnolia street and were coasting down the hill by the side of the Larson Block in a little express wagon when the terrible accident occurred. The LAMKIN boy was in front steering the wagon, and young HILL was sitting in the rear. The car was coming in from the lake and struck the wagon as it started across the track. Ernest LAMKIN went under the trucks and was dragged about 100 feet when the car was stopped. The HILL lad was caught by the fender and thrown off the track. His thigh was broken and his foot so badly crushed that it may be necessary to amputate it, but no other injuries were sustained.
Dr. GILBERT and Oscar COOK witnesses the accident and pulled the LAMKIN boy from under the car and carried him into the house of Martin SIERSDORFER, near by. He was still alive but unconscious and remained in that condition, gasping for breath, for about fifteen minutes. Several doctors were summoned, but nothing could be done except wait for death, which came in the course of a few minutes. A large crowd had collected by this time, but no one was able to identify the boy until the mother arrived about twenty minutes later. The HILL boy did not know him, as he had simply accepted an invitation to coast down the hill in the wagon. Mr. COOK, one of the eyewitnesses, stated to the Reveille that the accident was unavoidable. He said the car was not running very fast and that the boys apparently became frightened when they saw the danger they were in. Someone on the front end of the car called to them to look out when he saw the wagon coming down the ill, but the boy either became paralyzed with fright or lost control of the tongue, with which he was steering. One of the trucks evidently went over the LAMKIN boy's head, as it was badly crushed. Mr. LAMKIN was in Deming at the time and was notified of the accident by telephone.

It is proposed that members not owning yachts will build their boats on the same plan and with the same sailing apparatus so that it will depend upon the seamanship of the one handling the craft, rather than the boat itself, who shall win in the regatta.

A club cruise will be held next Sunday, and it is proposed to hold a local regatta some time during the month of September. As the result of an attempt to commit suicide by hanging himself, A.

JAP DROWNED IN THE GULF
Dead Body Found Lashed to an Upturned Boat.
Fisherman Finds the Remains - Identified as George NETTISON, Well Known Among the Japanese of Bellingham - The Skagit County Coroner Will Investigate the Case.
Special to the Reveille.
ANACORTES, July 16 - Lashed to an upturned sailboat, the body of a Japanese was found this morning in the gulf, between Hat and Samish islands. The discovery was made by Gilbert OLSEN, a fisherman. OLSEN says the sails of the boat were set and, from appearances, the boat had been capsized but a short time before. In further proof of this, the body when found was still warm. The remains were identified by a Japanese of this city as those of George NETTISON of Bellingham. The same Jap is authority for the statement that NETTISON had held a position as interpreter for the immigration inspector at Bellingham for some time, and that the deceased owned property there. Coroner SUMNER will investigate the case. Investigation among local Japanese brings the information that NETTISON was a man above fifty and had grown despondent, presumably over financial trouble. It is not known here that he possessed any property whatever or that he had saved any money. He had often expressed his desire for a sufficiency in age which at his death, as far as is known, was nowhere near realization. He said to a friend on leaving that continual disappointment had been his lot and appeared very much disheartened. So far as known, NETTISON has not been employed as interpreter here since last fall. He had gone down to the gulf to fish. A collection among the local Japanese was raised yesterday to defray the expense of the burial rites and pay for the erection of a monument. The remains will be brought to the city on Monday. At noon on that day a meeting of the dead man's countrymen will be held to pass on the disposition of the remains. Coral WHITE is home for the summer after completing the sophomore year at the state university. The Fairhaven Public Library building, now under construction, is rapidly taking shape. The walls of the first story are about completed. June 18, 1904:
LUMBERMAN PASSES AWAY
F. S. MACKINTOSH Succumbs to Bright's Disease.
Had Recently Come From Minneapolis for the Benefit of His Health - Well Known All Over the Northwest - Founder of Elks' Lodge on Bellingham Bay - Successful Business Man.
Frank S. MACKINTOSH died Friday night at Harrison hot springs, B. C. This news was conveyed here by a telegram to A. B. MARTIN yesterday morning. Death was due to right's disease.
Some three weeks ago Mr. MACKINTOSH arrived on the Sound for treatment, leaving his family and business interests in Minneapolis, hoping to recover quickly and return. Health did not return as had been hoped, but until the last Mr. MACKINTOSH wrote cheerful letters home and was thought by family and friends to be convalescing and to them the dispatch announcing his death came as a great shock.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. A. B. MARTIN, J. H. BLOEDEL and R. N. GIFFORD left for Harrison springs and are expected to return by today's B. B. & B. C. train from Sumas with the body. What disposition will be made of the remains has not yet been announced.
Frank S. MACKINTOSH was one of the best-known lumbermen in the west. Even before coming to Puget sound he had been interested in the lumber business. His connection with that industry here commenced with his accepting a position as bookkeeper in the Michael EARLES plant with the starting of that concern in 1897. From that time on he was rapidly promoted, serving for some time as traveling salesman for the Puget Sound Saw Mill & Shingle Company, making a most enviable record in that capacity. With the formation of the EARLES-MACKINTOSH Company, of which Mr. MACKINTOSH was secretary, he made his headquarters at the offices of that concern in Minneapolis.
One year ago he married a Minneapolis lady, who at the time of his death, was preparing to come to him at the springs, fearing all was not so well as he believed. Mr. MACKINTOSH was thirty-nine years old last week. His relatives live in New York, of which state he was a native. Before coming to Bellingham Mr. MACKINTOSH lived a number of years in Clallam county. There he served one term as county clerk and was prominent in politics and business. Mr. MACKINTOSH was the only honorary member of the Elks of this city, of which order he was the founder on the Bay. He was also a Mason. His personal traits and magnetism were such that he enjoyed the warmest regard of all his associates, and even as the message announcing his death was coming over the wire there were about twenty-five of his friends in this city planning to go to Harrison springs to visit him today.

DROWNED IN LAKE WHATCOM
Boom Man Slips From Logs and Is Lost
Accident Happened First Day He Had Worked-Lawrence WILLETT The Victim-Was Sole Support of Large Family-Took Boom Work to Enable Him Better to Help Them.
Thursday night about 12, Lawrence WILLETT a boom man for the Larson Lumber Co., while at work at Lake Whatcom, slipped into twelve feet of water and was drowned. The case is, in all of its details, a very sad one.
The young man only Wednesday quit working at the Byron store at Silver Beach and went to work for the Larson Lumber Co. on Thursday night as boom man. At about a quarter of twelve, the other men, having several logs ahead went into the mill to eat their lunch. Young WILLETT, making the remark that he would "bring up another bunch of logs, so that he would not have to go to work so soon," parted with his fellows. After a reasonable length of time, the young man, failing to appear, a search was instituted. The men dragged the waters near the boom, and after two and a half hours' work the body was brought to the surface near the boomstick, he evidently having fallen in from one of the loose logs.
His relatives, consisting of his parents and a large family, lived out on the Northeast Diagonal road, Lawrence having been for some time their only support. The father was taken sick a short time ago, and the young man, being an experienced boom-man, having worked for the Larson Lumber Co. for two years immediately before his work in the Byron store, quit his position in the grocery to receive the larger pay on the boom, and his untimely death occurred on his first day at the new work. The body was first taken to Gifford's undertaking parlors in the city and was from there sent to the family home. Interment will take place at Greenwood cemetery tomorrow.

Lower Floor of Building Fitted in Modern Style It will be remembered that up to last summer the library building was a one story structure. With the gift of the site to the association by Mr. CORNWALL, the building was moved a few feet to the west and the work of raising it one story and fitting up the lower floor for the library room was undertaken. The building was raised, but the preparation of the lower floor for library purposes was delayed for lack of funds. Since the city acquired control of the library, the work was resumed, and now that it is completed no library on the sound has better appointed or neater appearing quarters. The finishing is plain but shows good taste and gives the place an attractive appearance in keeping with its purpose. The front part of the main room is furnished with tables bearing the latest periodicals, including the magazines and daily papers. Here probably fifty people can comfortably read at the same time. In the rear of the room behind a screened partition are the shelves bearing the books. The 4,000 volumes are arranged conveniently and catalogued according to the Dewey system. A card catalogue system is being installed which will prove of great assistance to patrons. When this system is put in working order - which will be a matter of but a few days - it will be possible for one to get hold of a book whose title he has forgotten, or whose author he does not know. By a reference to the cards one having in mind but one point concerning a book or its authorship can conveniently secure the other information necessary and find the book without trouble. A small room to the left of the main library is filled with reference works conveniently arranged. The whole building, in short, has been fitted up for the convenience and comfort and general benefit of the reading public. Not only is the reading room open to all, but anyone has the privilege of of taking out books, subject, of course, to the reasonable regulations provided by the library board. There are now, according to the librarian, Mrs. RYAN, twelve hundred regular patrons of the institution, and the board are desirous of increasing the number as rapidly as possible. No fees are charged and the people are urged to avail themselves of the excellent educational opportunities afforded. July 30, 1904:
