RIOTERS See HARD FOUGHT BATTLE

Nothing to nothing in favor of the
high school," was what the sidslines
yelled at the close of the game be-
tween Walla Walla high school and
Weston Normal this afternoon and the
sidelines were about right.
The game, which was called at
o'clock at the city park gridiron, was
a good strenuous exhibition and al
though neither side was able to
score in the two 25-minute halves the
local team had the best of it all the
time. The local team mad the
best of it all the time. The leather
oval seldom wandered from the Weston
territory and time and time again it
looked as if the big school would
score, but it was a little short of those
long 20 yards each time and the ball
went to Weston.
Cotton Harmon, Walla Walla's
left half, was the star of the day. His
fierce tackle, bucks and short end runs
were always good for gains and the
rooters kept up a steady "give it to
Cotton"
Weston was also represented by a
small but active, delegation of root
ers.

wheat and, it is said, about two weeks

GERS. There is little doubt but that the
man was murdered, but whether by
Melander, Or some one else, is a
question.
Little Known Of the Victim.
"The man was employed as cook
for Melander and the two went to the
river for a tank Of water. Some Of
the section men say Melander was in
toxicated and that the hired man had
been drinking some but was not drunk.
So far no one has been able to find
out the mans name. He drifted into
the country some time ago and said
he was from Ohio. The next morn
ing after Melander and the man went
to the river for water, Melander was
found sitting on the bank, by his
brother. who had missed him. His
where they had been all night.
"Melander was questioned about
the hired man and declared he did not
know where he was. No trace OF the
hired man was had until week later,
when his body was found in the river
about a half mile above my place. The
head was crushed in as if he had been
struck a heavy blow with rock or
some instrument. The man was iden-
tilted as Melander's cook"
Mr.. Simmons said suspicion was at
tracted to Melander through his dis
inclination to talk about the AFFAIR.
The fact tnat Melander had evidently
left the country strengthened the sus-
picions Of farmers Of that section that
he knew something of the hired mans
disappearance and the case was laid
before the officers.
