Since leaving Fort Walla WaIla for

tillery has experienced some thrilling
adventures according to letters receiv-
ed by friends in Walla Walla. one OF
which was the rounding up in tho
bleak Minnesota hills of the three hun.

ring a severe storm a few nights ago
ana scattered to the four winds.
The corrals from long disuse had
become insecure and during a raging
blizzard the horses stampeded, carry
| ing down the fence and disappearinp
| IN the drifting snow. The soldiers
were routed out and set in chase of the
flying animals. Enough were captured
within few hours to be of use In
chasing the others, but it was only af-
ter four days of hard work that every
animal was captured and returned to
the fort. Chasing over a bleak coun-
try with zero weather prevailing,
visions of dear old Fort Walla Walla
with the balmy air of springtime sent
I pang of longing through the breasts
| Of the chilled artillery men.

Go and Shoot Herself.

MONT CLAIR, n. j.. Nov. 1S.-With

home and affluence. Mrs. Edward De

a bullet into her heart. She died al

She had been the life of the dinner
party and those who had listened to
her merry conversation could scarcely
bring themselves to believe that she
had wilfVlly ended her life. No mo-
tive could be even guessed.
Edward De Witt Walsh until three
weeks ago was a member of the firm
Of Walsh &, ReasOnsOn at 2 Wall street
He left the firm and went into busi-
ness on his own account, selling his

CENTRAL CITY, KY, Nov. 1S.-Let-

Mexico to escape the scOurge of yell

At the time the letters were written
the number of deaths in the village
had reached ten and the authorities
had exhausted every other means
known to them in the unsuccessful eff

The decision is said to have been ac-
copied by the natives as the one re-
naming remedy and the practice is
20 be put into effect when the next
case develops, although it has been
decided to spare those now i'll.

WENT ALONG ON WEDDING TRIP
Dr.. HunIock, of The DaI!es, Finds Mis-
sing Wife at Denver.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 1S.-Dr. E.
r. Hunlock, a man of wealth ana IN
f1uence of The Dalles has after long
search found and become reconclled
with his wife, who has been employ
ed as a waitress in the Metropolitan
hotel for several days. Mrs. Hunlock
deserted her home in the Oregon town
on November 3. without leaving any
trace by which her whereabouts could
be learned. Since that time DR.. Hun
lock has been exerting his energy to-
wards solving the mystery. They are
now on their way home. having left
this place yesterday.
A couple of days ago DR.. Hunlock
discovered a clew which led him TO
believe that his wife was travelling
eastward in company with her niece
and the latter's husband, c. A. Fritz
zee. the son of a. wealthy cattleman.
Mrs. Hunlock was last seen at the
wedding Of her niece and it was this
fact that led the doctor to believe
that probably she had accompanied her
niece on her wedding trip.
Reaching Denver DR.. HunlOck dis
covered that in company with the
Frizzees his wife had registered at the
ST. Elmo hotel, under the fictitious
name of Marie Henderson, Although
Frizzee at first denied all knowledge
of Mrs. HunlOck's whereabouts, the Sc
Cret was finally ferreted out by the
husband and reconciliation was
soon in order.
1t is believed that Mrs HunlOck took
the notion to travel while her mind
was temporarily unbalanced as a re-
suit of a serious attack of typhoid fe-
Yer last summer.

KILLS BROTHER, THEN HIMSELF
terrible Tragedy Enacted On Cattle
Ranch At. Sixteen
Mile Creek

BOHEMIAN, Mont.-Coroner 'FRONT.'
and Under Sheriff Reynolds arrived in
Bozeman Monday after a 65-mile drive
through deep snow from Sixteen Mile
Creek, the scene of the Fleming TRACE
dy' as result Of which Henry and
Bowman Fleming brothers, and two Of
the wealthiest and best-known stock
men OF this section of Montana, are
DEAD. The two men had q bitter quar-
rel over the question as to the proper
time to make a shipment of cattle and
came to blows.
During the struggle Henry grabbed
a rifle hanging over the doorway and
shot Bowman through the chest from
which wound he died several hours la
ter. Apparently realizing the enor-
nifty of his crime, Henry then turned
the gun upon himself nearly blowing
the top of his head off with the result
that he died almost instantly. An
other brother. Miller, returning an
Ho'l dlteT the Tragedy, FOUND Henry
lying with his head on the floor and
Bowman half sitting against the wall
What in the name Of God does this
mean?' he asked.
He shot me- replied Bowman
Did he shoot himself, too?" asked
Miller.
Yes, replied Bowman. That was
the last conscious word he uttered
Throughout the day, however, in his
delirious condition he kept shouting:
Come, come, let's reason about this
thing
According to close friends of the
men the relations between the brothers
we're of a most pleasant character
and this is the first trouble known to
nave sprung up between them. 1t is
believed that Henry must have been
temporarily deranged at the time of
the tragedy. Bowman Fleming was a
,nember of the Gallatin county republi-
can committee.

POSSIBILITY IN NEAR
FUTURE.
Rumored That Local Gas Company
Is Considering the Establish
ment of Line.

The continued long absence in the
east of President Isaac Anderson of
the Northwestern Gas and Electric
company is taken by some that the
presidents whole time is not being
taken up in adjusting the financial
affairs of his company but is being di
rected along the line of interesting adj
ditional capital for a street railway
system for Walla Walla to be operated
in connection with the newly organized
electrical company.
While nothing authentic has ever
been given out by Mr.. Anderson or his
associates, the fact that the proposed
generative power of the company's
will far excel the present demand for
the company's product is taken as an
indication that the future of the city
is being taken into consideration and
provisions made for furnishing power
for an electric car system, whether it
De operated by the company or by an
independent corporation.
No less than six corporations or
men interested in electrical enterprises
have negotiated with the new company
FOR power for a street railway in the
rity. and it is believed that Mr. Ander-
sons mission in the east at present is
to meet with capitalists who are anX-
ious to get in on the ground floor with
a system.
1t is hardly probable however that
any definite steps will be taken until
the site for the new power plant is fl
nally determined and the horsepower
estimated. A party of engineers is en-
gagged at present surveying the old
power site of the Athena Gas and
Electric company recently secured by
the local company. The site being
surveyed is at the junction of the
north and south fork of the Walla
Walla river and is entirely separate
from the Roberts ranch site.

No POUNDMASTER NOW
HAT OFFICE WAS ABOLISHED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL
LAST NIGHT.
Glasford, Boyer and Martin Vote
Against the Passage of the
Ordinan ce

Within the brief space of four min
utes the council last night abolished
the Office of pOundmaSter and wriggled
out OF any possible connection with
the suit recently brought by E. r.
Harding, against H A. Crowen, seek
ing to GUST the latter gentleman out
ol the O1hce. To the few spectators
who were present the action of the
board came with little surprise mas
much as the ordinance abOlishing the
Office was introduced at previous
meeting and passed to it's third read
ing.
Nhen the matter came up Smith who
led the forces advocating the abolish
ment Of such an important office as
poundmaster, magnanimously moved
that inasmuch as all the councilmen
were not present at the former meet
ing that the ordinance come up as if
it bad never teer. The fat. of the
measure If they hae their way was
plainly written in the faces of Glas-
after the reading of the ordinance to-
Warda final passage, the three gentle
men strenuously voted nay. The or
dinance was passed by one majority
Mclean, Brewer, Smith and Mexican
voting for it.
That all was not serene in the camp
of the insurgents became evident a
few minutes later when the ordinance
providing for the appointment of a
mounted policeman passed its first
reading and was placed. on the cal
endar. What its ultimate fate will
be remains to be seen at some fu-
ture date.
The action of the council will prob
ably have the effect of ending the suit
Mr.. Harding brought against Mr. Gro
well.
