that the communication and petition

carried, when Councilman Kirkman

his actions were concerned he was
not prompted by politics and further,

Brown Instructed to Act.

The councilman then made a mo-
ton instructing Chief of Police Brown
to arrest all of the five saloonkeepers
unless by 9 o'clock this morning they
had placed in his hands the license
for selling liquor. The roll was called
and the vote resulted in the motion
being carried. Councilmen Kirkman,
Glasford, Cox and Bridges voted for
the motion while Councilmen Mexican,
Bachtold and Martin voted against it.
During the evening Oscar Cain,
representing the saloon men and G. G.
Gose, who had been retained by the
city, both made short statements.
Cain contended that the council had
exceeded its authority in revoking the
licenses without first securing the con-
victiOn of the saloonmen Of some vio-
latiOn of the law. GOse took the oppo-
site view of the subject and held that
the council had right to revoke the
licenses after they had investigated
the evidence that had been produced
to the members Or the council and
found it to be true.

To the Honorable Mayor and Council

Gentlemen: At a meeting of the

Protective association held this day, it
was unanimously decided to suppress
in conformity with the state law and
resolution adopted at the last session
ton, held at Everett, Washington, on
October II, and IS, 1905, at which
meeting the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
"Resolved: Officers and executive
committee We're instructed to drop from
membership any liquor dealer convicted
of selling liquors to minors or allowing
gambling in his place of business"

To the Mayor and City Council of the
City of Walla Walla:
Gentlemen. We the undersigned
prOprietors of saloons whose licenses
were revoked at the last meeting Of the
city council respectfully petition your
honorable body to rescind the action
taken at said meeting and respectfully
represent as follows:
That after the action of the council
at the last meeting all the proprietors
of saloons whose licenses We're re-
voked closed their doors until one
o'clock of the following day; that after
consulting together and in the belief
that the action of the council in said
matter was illegal, the saloons were
reopened; that after further consider
ing the matter We have, while still in
the belief that the section of the coun-
ell in revoking said licenses was lille
gal, concluded to close and have closed
our saloons until further action of your
honorable body. We further represent
that in case the action of the council
in said matter is rescinded we will obey
all laws of the state of Washington and
give all the assistance within our power
in regard to the enforcement of the

Slot Machines Next.

Before the council adjourned COun-
Gilman Cox stated in explanation of
his attitude on the subject that he
wanted to see all laws enforced. He
desired to see the evidence that had
been secured made public and if it
was not sufficient to convict the saloon
keepers he was willing to right the
matter.
Councilman Martin replied to Cox
by saying that it would be just as
we'll to stop all slot machines in the
city He believed that the proper
procedure would have been to prose-
cute the saloon men for violating the
anti-gambling law, but not to revoke
the licenses.
This brought Kirkman to his feet
when he announced that he would be
in favor of closing slot machines if
Martin would make the motion and he
believed that the time was ripe to
take up the subject. The matter was
dropped at this juncture and the coun-
ell adjourned.

DOUBLE CRIME MYSTERY.
Husband and Bride Found Dying in
Their Home at NeWbera,
oregon

Newberg, Ore, Nov. 9.-News of the
tragic death of Carl Hurford and his
wife, bride of six weeks has just
come to light. Whether the tragedy
was murder or suicide may never be
known. Hurford had been' sick for
several days.
There are two theories, one that the
woman shot her husband, then, becOm-
ing frightened, ran into the street call
ing for help, after which she killed
herself. Another theory, however, is
that the husband killed himself, and
his wife, after calling for help, in her
frenzy Of fright and anguish, picked
up the revolver and sent a bullet
crashing through her brain. The re-
volyer was found by the bedside. No
powder marks are visible around the
husbands forehead HurfOrd came
here with his mother and brother from
Missouri about a year ago. Mrs. Hur-
ford came from Missouri to marry
her husband about two months ago.
Hurford and his wife were formerly
residents of Unionville, Mo.
