CONVICTED ON BURGLARY CHARGE

A. A. Holweg who served SIX
months in the county Jail in this city
for attempting to beat a hotel out of
$3.50 board bill, is in trouble again.
This time it is at Baker City, where
he has been convicted and is now in
jail serving a sentence for burglary.
While in Walla Walla Holweg posed
as teacher Of languages and for some
time took a prominent part in the So
ciety events among what is termed
the 400" After leaving Walla Walla
he went to PendletOn, where he passed
80 days boarding at the county Jail
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. He then went to Baker City
where he forced an entrance in a room
in a hotel and took money from
guest of the house. In commenting
on the career of Holweg the Pendle
ton Tribune says:
Holweg is we'll known in Pendleton.
Some of his friendships were quite
rich, nearly $40 worth. During his last
months residence in this-eity- he did
not mingle with the naddening crowd
to any extent, but confined his atten-
ton wholly to an investigation of how
county jails are put up. He cut his
many other friends very short and did
not even say goodbye when he left.
Holweg was quite a society chap.
He loved the gallantry of the age in
Pendleton and prided himself upon his
noble ancestry. He was in his own
opinion, a living Apollo and with his
curly hair, German accents and un-
adulterated nerve he made himsal
quite a fayorite with the weaker sex.
He raised his voice high in the church
choir and took an especial interest in
other peoples business, especially the
financial end when they weren't look
ing. With a good start towards break
ing into the 400 select circles, Hol-
veg saw the elimination Of his de-
sires being obtained at a dance which
was to be given just a few days be-
fore he was taken in tow by the po-
lice. But alas! his passion for corsets
was too strong and he yielded to temp
alton. To attend this ball he must
have a corset and to get the corset he
must have money. He got the money
and also 80 days in Jail, which wasn't
very long. .....s
But Pendleton didn't have as much
of him as did Baker City. Oh, he did
hand those swell toggers of that town
an awful bunch. Really, it seems i'm
possible that they could unwrap such
a package. He got a good start over
there and kept up the pace. Even af-
ter it had been widely published that
| he was sneakthief he seems to have
! braved the storm of popular indigna-
, ton and landed fairly in the lap Of So
/ ciety in the town of Baker City. Just
what he did is not known, but at the
time of the musical festival in Boise
! last June HoEweg was Tt" He sang
in the chorus from Baker City, flirted
with the. girls from all over, the sta te
and waltZed around in public with a
piece of Baker City calico hanging Ion
hissarm that would make one think of
$50 dinner sets: -4' - :: = )

c. r. Carts Is Awarded Contract for
Grading North Eighth Street
..-- From Elm to Moore.

By an unanimous vote the council
last night passed a resolution accept
ing the gift Of $4,000 of Andrew Car
negis for a public library for Walla
Walla and guaranteeing s25OO yearly
for it's maintenance as required in Mr.
Carnegie's offer. The matter of a site
and other things that will have to be
taken into consideration will come
up at later date.
Both Councilman Mexican and Nc
Lean wished little time in which to
consider the offer, not that they were
opposed to the city profiting by Mr..
Carnegie's magnificent Offer but to de-
termine what restrictions were placed
on the gift. Councilman Glasford was
for Immediately accepting the offer,
stating that the s250O required annu-
ally for the maintenance of the library
could easily be met as the half mill
tax now provided for would in the
course of a year or two, with property
values increasing, make up any de-
felt. He was on the opinion that with
the $4,000 a building two stories in
heighth could be erected and by the
library occupying the upper floor, the
lower floor could be rented at a hand
some profit each year. The question
Of whether Mr.. Carnegie would consent
to the building being used for any
other purpose than for a library was
discussed and until this could be as
certained, President Mclean and
Councilman Mexican both advised the
postpOning of action. Smith and
Brewer were both of the opinion that
the city should immedia tely take ad-
vantage of the offer by passing a res
olution as specified by Mr.. Carnegie
in making his offer. This was done by
Smith offering the following resolution
which received an unanimous vote:
BE it resolved by the city of Walla
Walla that the proposition of Andrew
Carnegie for free public library as
applied to this city be accepted
In advising immediate action in the
matter, Smith stated that he had made
1T point to interview a large num-
Der of business men and property
owners and not a one had expressed
negative sentiment to Mr.. Carnegie's
offer but all had declared that the
council should Immediately avail the
city of securing the gift by passing
the resolution guaranteeing $4,000
