The rivalry between Whitman col

have undertaken to bring the cele.
brated soprano to the little city at an
expense of cold thousand dollars ana
the pride of Whitman says that with
Walla Walla to draw from she ought
to do better here. The result is a
keen interest among the students in
the success of the concert. Nearly
every student has declared his inten-
ton of being seated in some part OF
the house anyway.
The Pullman track team will prob
ably be in Walla Walla about May 5
this year. Managers Ellis and Kraeger
of the Whitman and Pullman sprinters
are now fixing up contracts for the big
meet. Pullman has fine team this
year and Whitman has the best in its
history, so there promises to be some
thing doing when the two fast
punches get together
President Penrose of Whitman col

Commissioners Turn Down $40 Bill
Of Coroner Smith
HELD INQUEST ON CONVICT At PEN

NOT LIABLE FOR THE

ing decided to let Coroner w. D. Smith
look to the state board of audit and
control for his fee of $40 for holding an
the convict who committed suicide at
the state penitentiary a few months
ago by jumping off a landing and
breaking his neck
Coroner Smith, it seems, held the in
quest at the instigation of Governor
Mead and presented his bill to the
county. The commissioners contended
that the county was not liable for any
expenses that may be contracted by
convicts at the penitentiary and as the
opinion was concurred in by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Wilson the bill was turn
eG down and Coroner Smith notified to
look to the board of audit and control

Jail at Wallula There are ten ser
giceable cells in the old county Jail
that will be practically useless to the

Four cells would be ample for the
needs Of Deputy Byrnes at Wallula
and the others could be installed in

COMMISSIONERS FILE PERSONAL
EXPENSE SHEETS-FINAL
WINDUP UNDER WAY.

Walla Walla's exhibia at the Lewis

at an expense of $4,3S6.73 according
10 the final. report filed with the COM
missioners this morning by the three
members of the fair commission, DR..
n G.. Blalock, Charles Whitney and
Mordo Mcdonald The commissioners
- led personal expense sheets, but failed
to include a number of bills contracted
and paid and the board spent a couple
of hours with Deputy Auditor Nc
Ghee this morning trying to make
heads and tails out of the report filed
and find where some $500 went 40.
Did Not Charge Up Everything.
The personal expense accounts filed
the commissioners, salaries of attend
ants at the Walla Walla booth and
numberless other expenses necessary
to keep up the exhibit amounted to
$1,529.9S. The discrepancy between the
totals of what the three commissioners
spent and the total cost of maintaining
the exhibit is made up of bills con-
tracted in gathering the exhibit, the
cost of some 10000 souvenirs amount
ing to 1900, and other bills which the
fair commissioners failed to include in
their final report. Vouchers for every
thing that was spent were filed, how
ever, so the county commissioners will
have an intelligent report as soon as
Deputy Auditor McGhee goes through
the vouchers and checks them up ac-
cording to Hoyle.

REV. RICE PRONOUNCES THEM

That love laughs at sheriffs and

managed to reach Walla Walla from

and get married despite the frantic eff
forts of Sheriff Til Taylor, of Umatilla
county, Sheriff Painter and County
Clerk Hill to prevent the saying of the
words that pronounced the fleeing
couple man and wife.

ton. AS the train rolled into the pas
senger depot the couple was met, it is
said, by Louis Pickett, a stranger in
Walla Walla, and the trio fastened to
the auditors office, where a license was
secured. Mr.. Pickett swore to the age
of Miss McCabe as being IS and Dep
uty Mckinney asked no questions.
few minutes after the license was is
sued Sheriff Painter received a tele-
gram to overhaul the couple as Miss
McCabe was but 16 and her parents
objected to the marriage.
Clerk Rang Up the Ministers.
Sheriff Painter notified Clerk Hill
and while the clerk was ringing up
every minister in town over the tele-
phone, warning them not to perform
the ceremony, the sheriff hied up town
on the lookout for some trace of the
young couple.
Sheriff Searched in Vain.
Plans, however, had been laid well,
and while the sheriff was searching for
dim trail Mr.. LIE Grande and his
youthful bride were pronounced man
and wife by Rev. Austin Rice at his
residence in East Sumach street. The
ceremony was witnessed by Mr.. Pickett
and Miss Effie Miller, a well-known
Weston girl, who is said to have been
deep in the plot to assist her chum in
getting married.
Married at 11:40.
Rev. Rice visited Sheriff Painters
office this afternoon when he learned
that there was some question about
Miss McCabe's age. L married Mr.
LIE Grande and Miss McCabe, just be
fore noon," Rev. Rice said. They
arrived at my residence in company
with Mr.. Pickett and Miss Miller.
They did not seem to be in any hurry
and 1 did not dream it was a runaway
match. Miss McCabe appeared to be
about IS years of age and as they had
a license 1 did not hesitate to perform

Telegram Came Too Late.
Sheriff Painter did not receive the
telegram from Sheriff Taylor until af-
ter the o. r. & N train was in and

consequently before he could get track
