BOY SAWS OUT OF JAIL.
Given Freedom of Corridor, Youth
Makes Good Use of Saw.

GRANTS PASS, Or, Aug. 5.-Offi-
GERS are hunting the country to cap
ture ]. c. Maddox, a 17-year-old boy
who made his escape from the Joseph
inc county Jail by saving a hole
through the floor. Because of the ex-
cessive heat of the steel cells, Sheriff
Lewis took pity on the lad and allowed
him to remain in the outer corridor.
The corridor is more roomy, and is
made secure by heavy bars at the win
cows.
Young Maddox was supplied a saw
in some way, and with this mole was
cut in the four-inch wooden floor of
the corridor. BY crawling under the
Jail he was able to make his escape.
Maddox was employed as night clerk
at the Palace Motel, this city, and the
charge on which he was held was rob-
bing an insane man of $50. The In
sane man was kept at the hotel over
night while on his way to the asylum,
and while at the hotel he was robbed
of his purse, which, with a part of the
money, was later found in the pos
session of Maddox. The boy spent the
greater part of it treating friends, and
when arrested was on his way to the
Portland exposition.

The expected order to close down an
gambling in walla Walla came last
night when Chief of Police Brown. per-

notified the proprietors Of the games
to close up. Chief Brown acted on ex-

lice. g
AS soon as the orders were given
every game was shut down and the
paraphernalia was packed up and
moved away out of sight. Many Of the
gamblers said they recognized the Zig"
was up and took the matter pnilosoph-
ically.
MY instructions to close down all
games was given me yesterday by
Mayor Hunt and Councilmen Bachtold
and Martin and last night I personally
visited every place where gambling was
being conducted and notified the pro-
prietors to close down." Chief Brown
said this morning. "As far as I know
there was not a game running in Walla
Walla last night. nor will there be un-
less oader are si9es, tn raise the lid"
1t was stated that Sheriff Painter had
taken a hand in the matter and ordered
the gamblers to close up. Regarding
that statement Chief Brown said that
Sheriff Painter informed him this
morning that he had sent word down
the line that the games must be
closed. When Chief Brown made the
rounds of the places last night he
found all the games running at full
blast and the proprietors asserted that
they had not been notified that they

stream that large quantities are al
legged to be consumed by evaporation
and irrigation. The plaintiffs aver that
this has been carried on to such ar
extent that little of the water returns

The city of Milton as 1t has grown
larger has also increased its con-

by reduced the supply to such an ex-
tent that settlers on the lower stream
considered themselves forced to bring
the suit for the protection of their
rights.
These conditions had increased up
TO the last year until the Peacock
Milling company, operating two mills
in Milton. deemed it necessary to bring
similar suit against the city of Mil
ton and about 800 others for the pres
ervation of it's water power for milling
purposes, which was filed last March.
During the present irrigation season
many disputes have arisen over wa
ter between settlers below the Pea
cock mills and above the plaintiffs
bringing the present suit, which is the
direct cause of the suit being institut-
ed. But under the new Oregon law it
was deemed advisable to make every

rights of all in one proceeding. BY so
doing endless litigation would be done
away with.

by including the state is to receive the

SETTLERS AND CORPORATIONS
ON LITTLE WALLA WALLA
IN LITIGATION.
Papers Filed at Pendieton Today by
RAIDER e. King-Biggest Water
Suit in Northwest.

The Little Walla Walla Irrigation
Union. a private corporation of Mil
ton, Oregon, representing about forty
settlers near the state line below Mil
ton, on the little Walla Wa1la river,
filed suit today in the circuit court
of Umatilla county, at Pendleton,
against the city of Milton, five private
irrigation corporations and about 400
people above them on the Walla Walla
river and tributaries, for the purpose
of settling all water rights of every
person on the stream.
The plaintiffs have retained as
counsel RAIDER & King of this city.
The papers in the case were prepared
in Walla Walla and were taken to
Pendleton by Attorney King this
morning and filed. The suit is in
tended to include every person and
corporation claiming any interest in
the Walla Walla stream system. The
state of Oregon is also made a party
defendant in order to bring the suit
within the provisions of an act passed
by the Oregon legislature in 1905.
Made photographs Survey.
Under the provisions of this act,
when the state is made a party it be-
comes the duty of the state irrigation
engineer to make a photographic sur
vey of the entire stream system for
the purpose of determining all the
rights of all parties on the stream.
This is the first suit brought under the
new act and when considering the
number of persons and intricate ques-
tions involved and the data necessary
to collect for full adjudication of the
rights of all on the stream, it is prac-
tically the largest water suit of the
kind ever brought in the United States.
Others similar in nature have been
brought in the states of Colorado and
Idaho, though they were not so COM
plicated nor were there So many intri-
cate legal questions to be settled.
