Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1905-11-18

Ordinance No 101 is published
elsewhere in the Herald this week.
This is the ordinance passed by the
council some eight weeks ago, making
it a misdemeanor for a minor to enter
any place where intoxicants are kept
for sale. The ordinance was opposed
by councilmen Carpenter and Dixon,
and was held up for several weeks be-
fore being made law by receiving
the signature of the mayor and being
published. The councilmen based
their opposition to the law on the con-
tention that it was playing into the
hands of the saloon keeper by throw
ng the stigma on the minor, and max
ing it next to impossible to convict a
saloon man for allowing minors in the
saloon, inasmuch as a minor need not
testify if his testimony would incrimi-
nate himself, and that a boys father
would not be so apt to prosecute sa-
loon keeper if the testimony against
the latter would also make a criminal
of the boy. The law will be in effect
next Thursday, when its practical
workings can be observed
Thursday afternoon while hunting
muskrats on the South Palouse river
along the rairload track, mile and a
half west of Albion, Chester and Fred
Rice were accidentally shot by the
discharge of shotgun. The boys
were watching the movements of
muskrat in the river, Chester holding
his gun, cooked, and with the muzzle
on rail of the track. AS he lifted
the gun it slipped in his hand, strik-
ing the rail- and the concussion caused
the load to discharge. The charge
struck the rail and DETECTED, taking
effect in Fred's s ankle and his brother s
foot. The lads, with blood oozing
from their wounds, walked home.
Chester was considerably weakened by
a loss of blood and suffering great pain
when he reached the Office of physi-
clan. His brother sustained only
slight injuries. Il
"A farewell reception was given to
Mrs. Sadie McFadden, who moves to
Spokane Monday Nov. Goth, by the
ladies of the Baptist church on We'd
. OF
till 8. A most enjoyable time was
had. The evening was spent in music
and games, after which light refresh
tments were served. Mrs. McFadden
goes to Spokane and leaves host of
friends in Pullman who wish her every
success in her new enterprise. The
Baptist church and Sabbath School has
sustained loss in parting with Mrs.
McFadden and her children.
The open season for hunting
grouse and prairie chickens closed
Wednesday, and those birds can now
laugh at the man with a gun. The
present game law is very much out of
joint. Instead of opening Aug. 18th,
when the birds are yet young and of
little value from the standpoint of
sport, the season should not open till
Sept. 18th, but should remain open
longer at this time of the year when
the birds are strong of wing and better
able to care for themselves.
w W. V. Windus has resigned as
vice president of the State Bank and
will enter the field as a special agent
for a couple of insurance associations,
with headquarters at Spokane. His
territory will be over the northwest
states. Mr.. Windus will probably
later remove his family to Spokane.
L. Harry Soliday has retired from
the reputed management of the Artes-
ian and Palace hotels, and the estab-
lishments now have a real manager,
j. E. Nessly having taken charge of
them this week. Mr.. Nessly has
moved his family here from Colfax and
has become a full-hedged Pullmanite.
The first prize awarded to the
winner in the Whitman county Bur-
bank club, was captured by Philip
Howard, of school district No. 16,
near st. John, who harvested 226
pounds of potatoes from square rod
of ground. There were 56 contestants.
+ The room formerly occupied by
the postoffice is being partitioned off
down the center, one side to be occu-
pied by j. j. VanBruggen, with the
Toggery, and the other by the Pull
man Land company. They will move
in next week.
