Inc new dTGeSldu well occurred curing
the week. A gentleman of the genus
tramp arrived in town hot, hungry and
thirsty, and meeting with no success in
his efforts to secure the wherewith to
appease the appetite, in sheer desper-
alton repaired him to the free-fowing
artesian well and there drank long and
heavily of the pure medicinal waters.
At last, filed to safety and satisfaction,
he wandered away and finally drifted
into Gender & Drinkwater's blacksmith
shop. Exhausted by either his days
tramp or his lately acquired load of
water, he sat down upon one of the
anvils not then in use and for half an
hour discussed the tariff on iron with
Arthur. Rising, later, to continue his
weary road or to hunt sequestered
straw-stack for the night, he stole out of
the shop when no one CHANGED to be
close at hand. But a few moments
elapsed, however, ere Arthur discovered
that the particular anvil on which the
tramp had been seated had disappeared
from its accustomed block Rushing to
the door of the shop he was just in time
to see the itinerant gentleman going
over the hill-to note that there, firmly
attached to the bosom of his ragged
pants, was that identical anvil. Officer
Squires was notified, and soon overhauled
the rascal. He was taken before Justice
Lobaugh and charged with petty larceny.
In vain he pleaded that he had drank
nothing but artesian water; that he
didn't know the water was loaded, and
that under the circumstances he should
not be held responsible for its effects
upon himself and the anvil. The justice
sternly reminded him that excess in
drinking was no excuse for the conse-
quences of its effects; that the plea of
didn't know it was loaded" had blown
out more human brains than fifty
cyclones could ever blow in again, and
he must therefore go to the calaboose
for 80 days, more or less. The anvil,
mute witness against the prisoner, was
pried loose with a crowbar and the
victim sadly conveyed to the lookup,
although it is not likely he will remain
there any longer than he chooses, as the
magnetism in his person is said to have
already loosened the iron bars in the
windows.
The baseball game at Moscow last
Sunday between the Stars, of that place,
and the Pullman club, was witnessed by
a large concourse of people from both
cities and from the adjoining townsA
We understand there was considerable
pickering and kicking on the part of the
Moscow club over the final arrangements
for the game and regarding some of the
Pullman players, but the game finally
proceeded with DR.. j. H. Watt as UNI
pire Nine innings were played, occu-
plying about two hours, resulting in a
complete victory for the Pullman boys
by the following tallies:
Innings-1 8 4 5 6 50

Frank Taylor had narrow escape
from serious injury, if not death, while
out after beef cattle the other day. His
pony SHE'D suddenly and unseated him,
one foot becoming entangled in the stir
rup and the other about the pommel of
the saddle, in some way, so that Frank S
shoulders were humping uncomfortably
along on the ground. By a strong
effort, however, he managed to raise
himself into the saddle again and bring
the pony to halt, none the worse save
for few bruises.
w. B. Stephenson is one of the high
4 tide and prosperous farmers of the coun-
ty. From very small beginning he
has risen to the ownership of an elegant
farm of GAO acres near Staley, a good
share of which is now under cultivation.
He has quite number of fine stock, a
thriving orchard, all kinds of improved
farm machinery, good buildings, and,
altogether, is as independent and happy
as all Palouse farmers ought to be.
Strawberries and cherries of fine
appearance and quality are coming into
