Atrocious Treatment.

WALLA WALLA, WASH, Sept. 2O.-News
has reached this city of one of the most
atrocious attempts at revenge and
murder that has ever been recorded In
eastern Washington. John Clinton, aged
about 10 years, appeared before Justice
Lambert ano made complaint against two
brothers named Kennedy, whercupon war
rants were issued for their arrest. The
young man was fearfully bruised about the
face and body. His statement Of the cause
of the iainrv was that the two Kennedy
boys becaIrc incensed at him, while work.
ing at thrcsher on Eureka Flat, near
N'alla Walla, because of his refusal to join
IN a game of cards with them. After some
words had passed between them, and his
continued refusal TO play, the brothers sud-
denly attacked and overpowcred him. A
long rope was produced and his hands and
feet bound, rendering him perfectly power
less. The brothers then led an unruly
horse to within short distance of the
PROSTATE boy and securely tied one end of
the rope To the animals tail. The other
end was fastened to the body of Clinton.
AS soon as all was secured the horse was
started on a wild run across the fiat.
When found he was unconscious. The
rope had slipped from the tail Of the horse,
thus saving the young mans life.

The CARPENTERS Got Left.

A remarkable spectacle was presented IT
the new exposition building in SpoknuD
Falls Wash, Wednesday. Two hundred
union carpenters struck work because the
board of directors found it absolutely nee
essary to buy small quantity of lumber
from a boycottcd mill. Public indignation
was at once aroused to remarkable
degree.
Prominent citizens, bankers, merchants,
lawyers and councilmen at once pulled of
their coats and, hammer in hand, went to
the building and engaged in the work Of
laying shingles on tho immense roof. The
example has become contagious and scores
of other leading citizens joined in the work
the day Of the strike. A largo force Of nom
union men were also placed at work Thurs
day morning. and the building will surely
be completed in time for the opening on
