Fort Walla Walla Notes

Although the post team won the
ball game Sunday and should be jubi-
liant, the utmost gloom prevails at the
garrison for the men are meeting with
all kinds of encouragement from the
start. 1t was thought up to O'Clock
Sunday that there would be no game,
owing to the fact that several of the
best players We're unable to get re-
lleved from guard duty to play ball,
and it was only after considerable
hustiing that a scrub team could be
gotten together in time to play the
game. Unless the officers of the gar
rison show more of a desire to en-
courage the men in athletics than
heretofore, it is not improbable that

FALLING TREE
CAUSED DEATH.
James Shultz of JamiSon City
Victim of Fatal
Accident.
Brother Had Narrow Escape

An accident of fatal consequence
occurred in James 7. Brady's lum-
Der camp at what is known as New
Philadelphia, near Jamison City
about half past eight o'clock Mon
day morning. James Shultz and
his brother were engaged telling a
tree. A big limb broke off pretty
we'll up toward the top, but its
descent was stopped by the spread
ing branches. Conscious of the
impending danger the brother eau
toned James to be careful, but the
fail came SO suddenly that he was
unable to reach place of safety.
He was struck by the limb and in
jured so badly that he died a few
hours after having been removed to
his home. The brother too was
caught before he could get out of
the way, but was not hurt to any
serious extent.
The unfortunate man was a son
of Elias Shultz of Jamison City.
He was twenty five years Of age,
aud leaves a wife and one child.

HEAVY LOSS
FROM FIRE.
Large New Barn of Henry Long.
enberger Of Berwick, Des-
troyed.
Live Stock and Crops Lost.

Henry Longenberger of West
Berwick, lost heavily by fire yester-
day afternoon, when his large and
practically new barn, together with
some live stock, this seasons crops,
ard farm implements were COM
pletely destroyed. The fire was
discovered in time to save at least
part of it, had the location of the
structure been more propitious, but
it was separated by at least thous-
and feet from the nearest water
plug, and the fremen, who had re-
sponded promptly to the call. could
do little else than tear down some
adjacent outbuildings in order to
prevent the devouring element from
reaching the house.
The fire, it is believed, was
caused by some boys smoking
cigarettes. A lady who passed the
barn, half hour before the fire, OBJ
served two youngsters sitting near
the structure smoking, and she
spoke to them about the great dan
ger, when the boys, she said, ran
around TO the other side.
-Four COWS and two calves perish
ed in the flames, and several hogs
were SO badly crippled in getting
them out Of the burning building,
that they had to be killed.
Mrs. Longenberger ran to the
barn, in an effort to save the cows,
but she was overcome by the terri
BILE heat and smoke, and carried
into the house unconscious.
Mr.. Longenberger was away
from home at the time, having
taken a load of straw to Lime
Ridge. He places the loss at over
$1,000, partially covered by insur-
anCe.

Mrs. D. W. Kitchen Knocked Down,

By being knocked down by a
horse Sunday evening Mrs. Daniel
w. Kitchen was painfully cut and
bruised. She sustained an ugly
confusion on her head near the
temple, and her hip was injured.
She was crossing Main street in
front of r. +. Hartman's at the
time, and looking up the street.
She did not hear the noise incident
to the approach Of the horse and
carriage and the driver says the
intense illumination from the head
light on the Danville trolley car,
which had just started to leave the
square blinded him to such an ex-
tent that it was impossible to see
Mrs. Kitchen.
He very promptly stopped the
horse and assisted her to rise, and
felt very sorry over the misfortune.

The executive committee CT the
Columbia County Agricultural So
ciety held meeting on Saturday
and decided among other things to
erect a permanent platform on the
right side of the starters and judges
stand, to be used for the attractions
between the races. The construc-
ton, tearing down and reconstruc-
ton of this platform has long been
a nuisance. This permanent plat
form will enable the performers to
do their turns with more ease and
a greater feeling of safety. Last
year it was built so fimsily that a
portion of the floor gave way and an
accident was narrowly averted.

POLICEMAN NAUdLE
TOOK GOOD AIM.
Fired Three Shots at Prisoner All Of Which
Took Effect.

There was excitement Of a real
sort at West Berwick Sunday night
and as a result of which Vincent
Vide an Italian, is in a precarious
condition having been shot three
times by policeman Jacob Naugle.
The affair had it's beginning when
Vide with two fellow country
men were violating an ordinance by
shooting within the borough limits.
Naugle and special officer G. c.
Bellas of West Berwick undertook
to arrest the offenders when Vide
fired three shots at them, and start
ed to run away. Naugle then turn
ed his revolver upon Vide and shot
him three times. All took effect,
one between the shoulders, one in
the arm and the other grazed his
cheek. The injured man was re-
moved to his home and DR.. Davis
was then summoned to dress his
wounds.
Romono, one of the Italians was
given hearing before Burgess
Lynn, and fined 81 90 for shooting
within the borough limits.
His story was directly opposite to
that of the officers. He denied that
they had done any shooting either
at mark or at the officers.
The foreign element is greatly in
censed about the affair, and have
sworn vengeance on the officers.
