the gang which held up two Great
Northern express trains on July 8
1901, and who escaped from Knox,
vile jail while awaiting transporta-
ton to the Ohio Denitentiary to serve
tout a 20-year sentence for forging sig
natures to the stolen bank bills OBJ
tanned in the robbery. The posses
are composed of men we'll acquainted
with the country in which Curry is
travelling and who are equally as
quick on the trigger as he or any OF
MS gang.
It is many miles from where the
search is being prosecuted to the
nearest telegraph point, and il may be
days after an encounter before any
thing is known of what happens.
Curry has lots Of friends in the
country through which he is passing
and they will aid him 20 reach the
rendezvous Of his gang, where he will
be safe in the Businesses Of the Bear
Paw mountains from pursuit Or cap
ture. When last heard from, on Sat
urday, he was only 10 miles from his
destination, and well mounted. AS
the posses only got started this after
noon the chances are all in Curry 5
favor.
jim Landusky Buys Ammunition.
Jim Landusky, son Of Pike Land
duskv, who was killed by Kid Curry
before the Great Northern hOldup OF
two years ago. was in town Monday,
buying ammunition Of all Calibers.
Pike Landusky was killed by Curry
because the latter feared he would be
tray the Curry gang. In spite of this
young Landusky is known as a warm
friend and adherent Of Curry. His
DrOmiscuous purchase Of cartridges
and the fact that the posses are in
search Of Curry leads to the opinion
that the outlaw has reached the mem
bers OF his gang in the Bear Paw
mountains and that all are preparing
to give their pursuers q warm recep-
ton. Pike Landusky was the man al
ter whom was. named the town OF
Landusky, where Curry was last heard
of a few days ago.

WHO PAYS BILLS?
Democratic Senators Want to Know
President Travels Much.

Washington.-It is said that the
democrats in the senate will intro
ruce a resolution soon after congress
cOnvenes demanding information
about the alleged practice Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in obtaining and using
special trains and special cars from
various railroads and paying nothing
for the service The resolution has
been prepared and awaits discussion
by the democrats before it is put in
final shape.
1t recites the fact that the public
press Of the country and particularly
portion of the republican press of
the country. has openly charged that
the president paid for none Of the eX-
penses of his trip to the Pacific coast
by special train. which lasted sc days
and covered $4,000 miles at an enor-
nous cost. but that these expenses OF
every kind, including wines, liquors
and food were paid by the railroads
over which the train ran.
Continuing. the resolution calls at
tention TO the frequent trips Of the
president since he succeeded Mr.. Nc
kinley, and then demands Informal
ton as to the expense Of these trips.
The reason Of the resolution is the
discussion aroused by the Pacific
coast trip. It is stated in the pream-
BILE that it does not seem creditable
to the democrats, at least Of the sen
ate, that the president Of the United
States would accept compliment trans
portation AMI food and drink and ser
vice from the railroads and that he
senate desires to know if its faith in
President Roosevelt in this particu
| lar is unWarTanted.

~1e street commissioner was in
structed 10 replace condemned side
walks at the expense of property
owners. Smith called the attention of
the council to the condition Of side
walks throughout the city declaring
that there was not a street in the city
with good sidewalks. He predicted
that the city would be made a defend
ant in a damage suit some time and
urged that drastic measures be taken
to compel property owners to replace
their walks.
An ordinance appropriating $500
out Of the fire fund to pay fer 1000
feet of hose was passed.
A demand for $3.50 damages was re-
ceived from Sigmund Schwabacher
and Mrs. Rose Schwabacher. they al
leging in a communication that sew,
ers were placed on their property in
Catherin street without their knowl

property. Mclean said he was ready

SHIFTED THE LOAD

Petitions Will Be Circulated About

Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The raising Of $4,000 for Walla
! Walla to secure the proposed Stubble-
/ field home will devolve entirely upon
! the board Of county commissioners.
/ The entire burden was thrown upon
! the shoulders Of the county at q
! meeting Of the council last nigh
which was participated in by com
mittee from the Commercial Club and
! Frank E. Smith, a member Of the
! board of commissioners. The plan
adopted was for the mayor to appoint
a committee of four, which in turn,
will employ persons to carry petitions
/ throughout the county soliciting the
/ signatures Of taxpayers, asking that
! the county board appropriate the en-
/ tire sum.
A committee of four will circulate
petitions in Walla Walla, a commit

deemed the most practical after con-
siderable discussion inasmuch as the
rate of taxation would be equal
whereas if the city appropriated one
half of the amount, city property own
els would be taxed more than their
just proportion. Persons to carry the
petitions will be started out immedi-
ately and a joint conference OF the
city council and commissioners will
be held at some date early next
month
Commissioner Smith who was the
only member Of the county board pres
ent stated that the plan met with his
entire approval. As far as he Was
concerned he said he was OF the opin-
ion that the county should bear the
entire expense 1t was stipulated
that If the board OF commissioners
after being petitioned refused to
make the appropriation that the coun-
Gil would take action toward raising
the amount. The sentiment Of every
member Of the council present was
that the city should by all means Sc
cure the home, the only obstacle pre-
senting itself being the best means
to raise the necessary sum.
Turned Exhibit Down.
AS was expected the council refus-
ed to appropriate $500 toward collect
80 county exhibit for the ST.
Louis exposition. The matter was
brought up by Smith and stirred up
considerable discussion before being
disposed of. Mclean said the board
had done wrong in the past in apprO
priating sums out Of the treasury for
various enterprises, all of which was
contrary to the cit charter and mis-
sentiments were voiced by Glasford,
who stated that he had felt guilty ever
since he had voted the Walla Wal1a
band $500. He served notice that he
would in the future vote against the
city appropriating money for any
thing Of the kind.
The prospect Of Walla Walla hav-
ing an exhibit at the fair has taken
en- anything but rosy hue. The &C
ton Of the council in refusing to
make an appropriation will probably
be followed by the County beard ta?z-
ing the same course.

Then of a sudden Merton's heart
gave a jump. He remembered that the
cliff at one place ahead had given way
leaving a chasm right across the road
and the woman he loved was riding
straight to her death unless he could
stop her.
Pull to the left!" he shouted
"Quick! The break in the cliff"
Even as he spoke Merton saw the
yawning gap just ahead. There was
but a moment to act. He leaned over
and caught the girl around the waist.
Free your foot" he cried, and as she
did so he lifted her from the saddle
by main strength, and swung his mare
to the left as the black horse thun-
dered on riderless and plunged over
the chasm. There was an instants
suspense, and then Merton's mare
stumbled went down in a heap, and
Merton knew no more.
