he WORKED SMOOTH GAME
SALT LAKE YOUTH ALLEGED TO
HAVE FlEEcEo SEVERAL
WALLA WALLANS.
Employed Them to Trave! and Sell
JeweIry-Attempted to Leave
the City.

Leroy Graves, youth about IS
years old, hailing from Salt Lake, has
been under police surveillance for sew
eral days, for playing a game whereby
it is alleged, he attempted to fleece
several young men of Walla Walla.
He came to the city several days ago
and as it is claimed, meeting several
young men Informed them that he rep
resented a large jewelry house in the
east and was looking for live, energetic
young men to go on the road for the
firm. His story of lucrative salaries
and an easy job proved to be good bait
and he had no difficulty in interesting
several boys who were anxious to get
rich quick and travel about the coun-
try. After he had hooked them he in
duced each of them to put up SIS as a
guarantee that they would not lose"
their sample case. The boys gave up
willingly and he then informed them
that he had received a telegram from
his brother announcing serious illness
in the family and he would have to
leave the city. This story did not
sound right to his victims and when
he went to the depot to take the train
he was apprehended by an officer
Realizing that he was in for it, Graves
made a clean breaSt of the affair and
promised to return the money if they
would not prosecute him. This the
several young men agreed to. Graves
then telegraphed to his father at Salt
Lake to send him money, which he ex-
poets to receive in a few days He is
still under the eyes of the police await
ing the arrival of the funds to square
up everything.

LEE PURD|N IS IN THE CITY
HE is THE DEMOCRATIC CANDi-
DATE FOR OFFICE OF
STATE AUDITOR.
Predicts That Geirge Turner Will
Carry kittitas County by Four
Hundred Ma jorty.

r. Lee Purdin, democratic candidate
for state auditor, arrived in Walla
Walla today from his home in Ellens-
burg, and is stopping at the Dacres.
Mr.. Purdin met many of the people of
Walla WalIa this afternoon and then
took a drive about the city, viewing
the many handsome residences and
public buildings. Mr.. Purdin was born
in Walla Walla, but left here many
years ago, taking up his residence in
Ellensburg.
In speaking of political conditions
in Kittitas county Mr.. Purdin said:
Il am confident that kittitas county
will give at least 300 majority for the
democratic state ticket this fall.
George Turner will carry the county,
without a doubt, by 400 majority. He
has a host of friends in the county who
are supporting him. Ellensburg was
the senator's home when he first came
to Washington, and he has many
friends among the republicans and
democrats. The democratic candidate
for governor is making a strong can
vas and he is winning votes for the
state ticket in every precinct in which
he has spoken"
