The death OF Miss Anna Howley, last
week, At Walla Walla College. in the
suburbs OF that city, is the third with
in two months of pupils who have
died from TYPHOID fever. This leads to
the conviction that it is the emptyiug
OF the city sewer system on the Bla.

that he was struck by an interurban
car some time Tuesday night. The
body had been lifeless several hours
when found. The top Of tho skull was
fractured and the right knee and ankle
were broken. Hassan's umbrella was
raised. This indicated that he had

it. The body was within . foot OF the
rail and lay almost parallel to it, upon
