DODSOn GETSYEAR IN PRISON
PLEAD GUILTY TO FORGERY THIS
MORNING AND is SEN.
FENCED.
Crime Was Raising 81 Check to $14
and Passing It on a Local Sa.
loon Keeper.

ALI efforts to compromise the case
having failed, Elmer c. Dodson, the
young farm hand who raised check
given by H. D. Eldredge of Dixie from
81 to $14 entered a plea of guilty to
forgery before Judge Brents this morn
ing and was sentenced to one year in
the penitentiary. Dodson took the
matter pnilosophically and seemed
rather glad that the ordeal was over.
He will be taken to the penitentiary
this afternoon.
Attorney Evans, appointed counsel
for Dodson, made strong plea for
mercy for the young man, pointing out
that this was his first offense and
that heretofore he had been a hard
working man. 1t developed that Dod-
son had as fellow worker at the time
the crime was committed an ex-convict
who had served time for forgery. It
is thought that Dodson was Influenced
somewhat by the man.
Dodson passed the check on Albert
Neibergall, proprietor of the Office sa-
loon.

SHOULD THINK OF The HORSES
Chief Metz Talks About False Fire
.t..-. Alarms.

IF the persons who are turning In
false fire alarms think it disturbs
the firemen they are badly mistaken
said Chief Metz this morning. ION
the other hand Walla Walla has so
few fires that the men at the engine
houses like to get out once in a
while so as to relieve the monotony
of remaining at their quarters con-
stantly. The horses, however, are
the ones that suffer. They are COM
PEELED to do their utmost in respond
ing to alarms and the miscreants
should have some compassion on the
poor dumb brutes. If any person is
detected in turning in false alarms
he may expect to get the extreme
penalty prescribed in the city ordi-
nances.

DiSOBEYS ORDER OF JUDGE
BRENTs AND TERRoRiZEs
WIFE AND ATTORNEY
Noble Requests That he be Put on
Probate List in Order to Square
Himself.

Despite Judge Brents' warning that II
he made any more trouble for the off,
GERS and his wife that he might not
expect further leniency, William Noble,
discharged yesterday after spending
two weeks in the county Jail, waiting
trial on a contempt of court charge,
went on a drunk again last night and
terrorized his wife and Attorney
Marvin Evans, who is representing
Mrs. Noble in her suit for divorce,
commenced against Noble several
weeks ago.
Attorney Evans telephoned the Of
ficers late last night that Noble was
making himself obnoxious again and
requested that he be taken care OF.
AS no warrant for Mobiles arrest ha'
been issued the officers refused to
take any action, but later in the
night Noble was taken in charge by
CAPTAIN Davis and put to bed. Noble
this morning visited Judge Brents In
chambers at the court house and re-
ouested that he be placed on the pro-
bate list. The Judge told Noble to have
his petition regularly drawn up and
he would grant the request. Mobiles
play to get on the probate list, the
officers say, was to square himself
for disobeying Judge Brents' order yes
terday not to modest his wife or At
torney Evans.
Give HaviIand Poisoned Pies.
After being released from Jail yes
terday afternoon Noble returned to
the jail with a basket of pies and
cakes for the other prisoners. Noble
is extremely bitter against the sher-
ifs office, and as he started away
from the Jail he remarked to Deputy
Haviland that he would like to feed
him a poisoned pie. "And I didn't
stutter when I said it, Noble said
The deputy paid no attention to the re-
mark and Noble left the premises.
