/ The soldiers on trial for the lynching
OF A. J. Hunt at Walla Walla some
weeks ago, have been acquitted by a
/ jury in the State court. The evidence
as to the Identification of the soldiers
on trial was inefficient to convict them.
The prosecution seems to have been
much mismanaged from the start, two
indictments having been quashed for
patent defects, and two or more soldiers
being indicted who had positive proof
OF having been at entirely another
place at the time the lyrching occurred.
A court-martial will follow, and may
be more successful in discovering the
guilty parties.

The largest tree in Snohomish
county, probably, is cedar which
stands little ways from the Kent's
prairie and Stanwood road, about six
miles from Arlington. A party of nine
went down from this place last Sunday
to satisfy themselves of the truth of
what by them were regarded as exag-
gerated reports of its size. 1t has been
claimed that the tree is ninety-nine
feet in circumference, but the measure
ment taken Sunday shows 1t to be but
sixty-eight feet. Still, that is consider
able of a sapling. being nearly twenty
three in diameter. Ifmeasured around
the roots and knotty protuberances the
tree would likely measure the ninety
nine feet claimed for it, but that is not
fair test. Sundays measurement
was as close to the body of the tree as
line could be drawn. About twenty
five feet from the ground the tree forks
into four immense branches. Just be-
low the forks is a big knot-hole, and
five OF the party-Jack Howard, J. F.
Shannon, A. Engberg, Ralph Morris
and Harry Patterson-climbed up and
made an exploration of the inside of
the tree, which is mere shell, though
still green. They went down some
forty-tive feet in the tree and claim
that there is standing room for at least
forty men there. A peculiar feature
which they noticed was that the tree is
harked on the inside fhe Same os IN
the outside.-Arliagton Times.
