lison With and old Crony.
Ed. ellison, deputy sheriff of Adams
county passed through Pasco from Walla
Walla, returning to his home in Ritzville
Monday evening. During conversation
with Mr.. ellison he related the following

penitentiary. Judge Upton having giver
him nineteen years in place of hanging
When Symes had been wearing the
striped garb OF the state but few daye
Howard Coss, a former friend of Symes,
was sentenced to the same institution 70
two years for larceny. The two men ha.s
been in the pen six weeks before Symee
WAS aware that Coss was prison com
panion Of his. One day their dutie,
called them to the brick yard. Coss Is
weak.minded fellow, and is becoming DE- !
mented over his incarceration, passes hi
time hanging his head and weeping like
a child, while Symes has pleasar /
smile or his countenance and bears his
prison life with the nerve of an o. !.
Howard Coss had taken his wheelbarro
OF brick from the kiln and was. just lea,
ing the kiln. Symes was coming slowl
and not watching where he was goinr
the two wheelbarrow men experience
what they called head.end collision
Quite natural the men raieed their head
Symes Immediately recognized bis frien
A Commanche yelp eminated from bia
lips; his hat was tossed in the al
Symes forgetting he was in prison, dro
ped his wheelbarrow, and greeted BIZ
friend in this manner: "J-- c.
Howard, how in hi did you get her
how's everything and everybody ~
RitzvilleP" Howard never spoke ~
Symes, but commenced to cry, when Il
guard told symes 10 move on and mil
his business. .-Pasco News.
