LEADS STUDENTS TO CLAMOR
FOR CHANGE.
SCHMIDT SUCCEEDS MORGAN

]. H. Baird will coach Whitman in
football again next year if he can be
induced to return. The student execu-
tive committee decided at a meeting
last night to try and make arrange
ments with him before he leaves for
Chicago.
Captain elect Ralph Dimick is
heartily in favor of having Baird for
general again next season and SO is
Ernest Schmidt, who last night was
elected manager of the 1907 team.
Whatever may be the opinion held
of Coach Baird about town, he is the
idol of the team and the boys think
that if he can be induced to return
next year that the long coveted cham
pionship will be theirs.
Schmidt who was chosen manager
last night has been quarter of the
team for two years and is also basket
ball manager this year This is the
first time that Whitman has had
player manager for many years
The report of the present football
manager Arthur Morgan was not pre-
sented to the committee last night but
it is said that it will show consider
able financial deficit and some of the
students have been clamoring for a
change of administration next year.
The result was the appointment OF
Schmidt last night.

TRIED TO Be ;
CATTLE KING
Chris Jensen Fenced lin Much
Government Land
NOW FACES FEDERAL JURY
Neighbors Testify He Refused

Ranch
NOW FACES FEDERAL JURY

Chris Jensen a prominent ranches
and cattleman of the Snake River
country, is facing trial in the United
States court today on the criminal
charge of fencing in $40 acres of gov
ernment land.
The trial drew a court room full Of
spectators this morning Oscar Cain,
attorney for the defendant contested
every inch of ground with the pros
ecuting attorney and won on several
legal points.
Jensen has big pasturage of seven
or eight sections fenced in near Snake
river and in it is section 10, TIP. 20 N.
of r. 80, which is government land
Jensen tried to scrip this section in
1904, but his application was rejected
June 80, 1905. During the past spring
Jensen locked and nailed the two
gates which We're on the place and is
alleged to have told people that the
land all belonged to him.
The testimony showed that Jensen
was notified by Special Agent Camp
bell of the land Ocice as far back as
take down his fence as far back as
November s, 1905, that he must take
down his fence but that he paid no
attention to the letter.
Several neighbors of Jel a. .estii.ed
that he claimed the land and refused
admission when they tried to go over
the premises to get water from the
Snake river. Among these We're John
Wesley Scott and George Myers. Scott
admitted that the gates We're now
open allowing free admission to the
land, and had been since October l.
1906. Register Gillis of the local land
office testified as to the land being
government land and about the failure
of the attempt of Jensen to scrip it.
The attempt on the part of the pros
ecuting attorney to introduce the pa
pers in the civil case against Jensen
decided yesterday was blocked by the
court who sustained Attorney Gains
motion to keep them out.
The jury who are trying Jensen are
w. H. Richardson, o. l.. Denny, Will
liam Dentry. S. F. Patton, Michael
Gross, William Buffum, ID. K Highley,
G. w. Epley, E. w. Hess, A. c. Purdy,
George w. Penn.
This left the only charge against
the defendant that of the fourth count
which was that he had asserted COM
plete and exclusive possession of the
tract. The defense claimed that he had
not asserted any such possession.

is large enough to hold the place of

PEOPLE ALLEGF PART|AuTY
Say Principal Fertig Allowed His
Son Privileges Over
Others
PEOPLE ALLEGF PARTAl|TY

Trouble has been brewing in the
Wallula schools for some time and
all efforts to bring about harmony
seems to have proven futile. The
trouble is occurring between the mem
bers of the board and the teachers,
although the patrons Of the school are
better satisfied with the work of the
teachers and students than ever be-
fore.
Professor Fertig is at the head of the
schools and according to reports re-
ceived in this city he is being
threatened from both sides. He is ac-
cused of having shown partiality to
his son, member of the schools. 1t is
reported that the principal allowed his
son to recite his lessons and gave him
permission to go home to his work.
After great deal of talk had been
occasioned Mr.. Fertig had his son
leave school. Pupils then circulated a
petition among themselves and pre-
sented it to the school board asking
that the son take up his studies again
The board is composed of two ladies
and one gentleman and the members
now have the matter under consid-
Grafton.
County School Superintendent Bond
is out of the city today and his depu-
ty, Mrs. Josephine Preston declined to
give out anything for publication. 1t
is learned from patrons of the school
that the present term is one of the
most successful in the history of the
work are entirely satisfied with the
results with the exception of the pres
ent friction between the board and the
teachers.
