BERT PROUT, FORMER WALLA
WALLAN, UNDER ARREST
WALLACE, IDAHO.
Promised to Wed Young Lady at WAL
lace Although He Has Wife
at Moscow.

Bert T. PrOut, who at one time run
a messenger service in Walla Walla
and later was charged with several
shady transactions in Pendleton, is
passing worthless checks. Prout's ar
rest disclosed the fact that he was
about to be married to an estimablc
young lady of Wallace, notwithstand-
ing that he has a wife and four chill
dren at Moscow who are suffering the
pangs of extreme poverty by reason
of Prouts neglect.
About two weeks ago Prout went to
Wallace from Moscow and opened up
a piano store. He became acquainted
with Linney Whitfield, a pretty young
girl of Wallace, and after a desperate
wooing succeeded in gaining the girls
affections and consent to an early mar
riage Prout represented himself as
worth $4,000 and made many prom
Uses of what he would do for his young
bride He took her to dry goods stores
and had her select wearing apparel
and other clothing that he would buy
her after they were married.
The chief of police learned that
Prout was not what he represented
| himself He made an investigation
and found that Prout had been passing
| several worthless checks and he i'm
mediately placed the gay young man
| under arrest. When searched a pitt

TAYLOR AIDS MOCK DEFENSE.
Thought He May Surrender to Ken.
tucky-DoubtfuI Of Justice"

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 25.-For-
sent a letter to o. F. Missman, the stu
dent who impersonates him at the mock
trial at Drake university in which H.
outlines his defense as fully as if his
life actually hung in the balance.
He explains iF detail that he helped
bring the mountaineers to the state
capitol purely for the moral effect and
that they served their purpose and de-
parted five days before the assassina-
ton of Goebel AS regards the latter.
he had no knowledge and never dis
cussed it with Powers, Youtsey, Gull
ton, Crei1 or any of the confessed con-
spiratOrs.
Governor Taylor has taken an vac
tive interest in the trial and his at
torneys and those of Caleb Powers
have been interchangeable in their eff
forts to equip the student lawyers will
all information in their possession.
The trial is proceeding exactly as II
Governor Taylor were in reality on
trial at Frankfort and the result may
be a fair demonstration of his guilt or
innocence.
The intensity of interest manifested
by Taylor and his friends has been
construed by the faculty and students
as possibly indicating an intention on
TayIor's part to surrender to the Ken
lucky authorities and stand trial if his
innocence is established cOnclusively
here.

1t was decided upon this showing
that the district would not exceed its
legal Indebtedness by erecting another
school and President Hunt stated that
the question was open for discussion.
Attendance Rapidly Increasing.
Superintendent Jones was asked to
give his views on an eight, twelve and
sixteen room building. He replied by
stating that the school attendance
had increased over IL per cent within
the past year. ending with December
1904. The average attendance for
1903 was 1929 and during 1904 was
1922. He estimated that the increase
during 1905 would be 6 per cent. over
1904. He stated that the district could
get along by using the Easements of
Washington and Baker school and by
renting three outside rooms to take
care of the overflow. He concluded
by stating that in his judgment a
twelve-room building would not be
too large, considering the rapid in
crease in attendance. His views
were shared by every member of the
board and on Director Blalock's mo-
ton that the district authorize a
| twelve-room building there was an
unanimous vote in the affirmative.
The utmost harmony prevailed be-
tween the directors and instead of a
| formal business meeting the members
of the board settled down to decide on
the details by taking up each men,
bers views and discussing them full
| ly. On Director Gardeners suggestion

board at the time pencil sketch of
the building is presented for accept
ance. BY an unanimous vote of the
board Henry Osterman was engaged
as architect. Mr.. Osterman promised
to have a ground plan of the new

Districts Finances.
The building of the new school
hinged entirely on the report of the
finance committee which had been in
structed to ascertain the financial
condition of the district
Chairman Stewart of this commit
tee reported that the district had a
bonded Indebtedness of $11S0OO. In
addition to this there were outstand-
ing warrants approximately amount
ing to $4,000, making a total in
debtedness of $1SS,OOO. To offset this
the district will receive $22,5OO from
special taxes the coming year and the
state apportionment of school funds
will approximate $4,000, which will
reduce the outstanding warrant in
debtedness to $4,000. To this, how
ever, must be added the expense of the
next five months school. Chairman
Stewart stated that the county treas
urer had estimated that the warrant
