DISREGARDs $1,000 PEACE BONDS
AND GETS LANDED IN THE
CITY JAIL.
Tried to Run Down AutomobiIe-Po
lice Took Hand and Captured
Frenzied Man.

Although under bonds OF 800 to
keep the peace until March 5, 1906,
William Noble, farmer from the
Toucnet country and a former saloon
keeper of Walla Walla, wound up a
drunken spree by landing in the city
Jail last night on a charge of being
leased this morning on $40 bond
in an effort to protect his peace bonds
which guarantees his good behavior
for period of one year.
Noble arrived in Walla Walla yes
terday morning from his farm and ac
cording to reports began drinking
heavily. In the afternoon he took his
team and amused himself by driving
furiously about the streets, lashing his
horses until they were nearly dead
from exhaustion. Late in the evening
ne encountered H. Johnson, of the
Fair store, in an automobile on Boyer
avenue and attempted to run down
the machine. Mr.. Johnson was ac-
companied by his wife and children
and by putting on speed managed to
evade a collision. Noble acted like a
mad man, whipping his team and curs-
ing everybody in sight.
Mobiles next escapade was to invade
the Lacy boarding house, at the cor
ner of Third and Poplar streets. He
was of the opinion that his wife was
harbored in the house and he cursed
the boarders and landlady until the ar
rival Of the police. Officers Sanderson,
Wolf and >Ruddock responded to hur-
ryup telephone call and captured No
BILE after a hard tussle. Just before
reaching the Jail Noble tried to break
away and it was necessary to club him
into submission.
Noble is now out on bonds on
charge of attempting to assault and
murder w. o. Phillips. The alleged
crime occurred out on the Touchet last
March when Noble bombarded Phil
lips home with a shotgun one night.
Mrs. Noble left her husband soon after
but a reconciliation was effected and
divorce proceedings which she COM
menced were withdrawn. Mrs. Noble
left her husband again few weeks
ago and went to live with her folks
near Milton.

WILL ESCAPE PROSECUTION
HENRY STEWART WILL NOT BE
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE
STATE OF UTAH.
Governor Of That Commonwealth Re.
fuses to Honor Mead's Request
for Extradition Papers.

Henry Stewart, the young man who
was accused of subornation of perjury
in connection with the secret marriage
and elopement of Miss Zellah Masse
and himeslf, will probably not be pros
ecuted. When Stewart and young girl
bride left Walla Walla they went to
Utah where Stewards mother resides.
There Stewart was arrested on tele-
graphic instructions from the Walla
Walla authorities. Sheriff Painter,
armed with requisition papers, went
to Utan last Monday, but when the
papers were presented to the governor
Of Utah that official refused to honor
the requisition. AS Stewart refused
to return to Walla Walla and the gov
ernor would not act, Sheriff Painter is
expected to return to Walla Walla,
but will not have Stewart with him.
H. L. Masse, father of Mrs. Stewart,
who went to Utah some time ago to
endeavor to induce mis- daughter to
come back to Walla Walla, returned
yesterday, but was not accompanied
by the girl.

Mr.. Babcock learned that the knife

Indians, one of whom was the famous
deceased Chief Joseph. 1t has been
highly priced by the Indians, and one

ponies for it.
There are three hicks cut in the hilt,
which, the Indians explain, means that
it has been used In removing three

PRISONERS AT COUNTY JAIL GO
ON A STRIKE AND ARE
PUNISHED.
Refused to Join the Chain Gang
Bread and Water Will Be Their
Daily Diet.

Preferring the dungeon and daily
diet of bread and water, three pris-
oners confined in the county Jail went
on a strike this morning and refused
to join the chain gang which is being
worked on the county roads. The
county commissioners issued an order
Saturday that all prisoners serving
Jail sentences in the county Jail be put
to work in the chain gang this morn
ing. There were ten prisoners eligible
but when ordered out soon after s
o'clock three of the men refused to
bulge.
"You can take your choice. Work
or go into the hole" commanded Jail
or Claude Berry.
We'll go into the hole" the three
answered.
"All right" the jailor replied as he
swung open the door of the little cell
and ordered the three men in. The
rest of the men preferred the open air
and exercise to being confined in the
dungeon and in charge Of L. c. Good
win, they were marched out Alder
street to the country where they will
repair county roads for the next two
weeks.
The three strikers are part of a gang
IL,
campers below Dement'S mill a week
ago. The hole is small cell six by
eight feet in size. The cell Is perfect
ly bare of cots or chairs and the only
light to trickle in comes from a small
ventilator at the top fthe door. The
men will be given the regulation diet
of bread and water until they are
ready to go to work.

Increasing Farm Values.

II every farm owner would look up
On his farm as the merchant does upon
his stock of goods, as something to be
improved as his business grows. farm
values would increase wonderfully
fast. If the average farm will do no
more for its owner than feed his fam
lily and furnish him money for taxes
and scant clothing there is something
wrong with the farm or the farmer.
OF course, there are seasons when this
is all that may be got out of a wear of
farm work, but it Ought not to continue
from year to year; if it does there is,
as we have said. something wrong.
If the farm is running down, if the
stock is deteriOratlng instead of i'm
proving, if the buildings remain I'M
painted year after year and if the crops
are growing smaller instead of larger.
then we are not kee ping up our salable
stock and enlarging 1t, and our farm
value is growing less instead of great
er. Too many of us are farming now
adays because we have to, because we
know no other business. If we would
use the same energy, the same brains
and have the sam e hopefulness and
faith in our business that the merchant
has in his we would find a way of
making the business grow or we would
get out of it.

Using Green Cuf Bore.

If one who raises poultry desires
eggs, the feeding of cut bone is essen
tial-not that the hens will not lay
without the cut bone, but that they
will lay so much better, that the small
expense of the bone and the mill to
cut it ought not to enter into the cal
culation. Cut bone furnishes an al
most complete making element,
while several kinds of grain are re-
CURED TO obtain the same elements.
Bone mills are small in price, the small
err ones being easily operated by hand.
The cost of the fresh bones at the
butchers is also small, and as pound
of cut bone day for each dozen or
fifteen hens is sufficient, one can see
the expense is merely nominal.
