.SANDv|LLE IS "DEL|GHTED"
Pend|eton Manager Sends Over
Joyous Message
FIRST PRACTICE COMES SUNDAY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT THE
CITY BALL GROUNDS SIGNAL
WORK STARTS.
FIRST PRACTICE COMES SUNDAY

1--WE are tickled to death over the
prospect of a Christmas game. Keep
your bunch together. The game is a
cinch," is part of the communication
which Manager Cooney of the Pen
dleton Indians sent to Dan Lankard
of the Walla Walla Commercial club
team, yesterday.
He also says that "all the fellows are
crazy to play" and that the team
would meet last night to organize.
The Walla Walla players dropped
into the bowling alley at odd times last
night and talked over the plans for
the game. No organization was per-
fected but arrangements were made
for a meeting at the old baseball park
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock when
captain will be chosen and signal
practice started
Things look very encouraging"
said Lankard this morning as he was
lacing up a football which the Walla
Walla boys will use for practice. I'VE
will have plenty of men for the game.
am going up to see some of the boys
we want this morning. Nearly every
fellow we expected came last night to
the meeting and 1 am going to see
the rest today"
The coming all-star game is the talk
of the town in sporting circles. Every
body who is interested in football at
all is interested in seeing a good team
go to Pendleton on Christmas and the
spirit in the air indicates that the
eleven will have an unprecedented
backing from all quarters.
No name has as yet been chosen for
the aggregation but it has been sug-
gested that the tenn be sent under
the auspices of the Commercial club.
This would be a good boost for Walla
Walla as no little advertising would
result.

Fighting for Her Boy

Mrs. Lena Bremmer is still attempt
ing to get ner 3-year-old son Albert
from the possession of the Kreihe's
by legal means. The hearing of the
case did not come up in the superior
court today as had been arranged be-
cause the attorneys in the case were
busy in the federal court. 1t is prob
able that Henry Bremmer will file his
$500 bond not to kidnap the child by
Monday and this will remove the only
ground on which Mrs. Bremmer can
stand in demanding possession Of the
child.

Plaintiff Sued Bank For ReC0verq
Of Stock
SHARES were HELD FOR SECURITY
WAlTSBURG INSTITUTION RE-
PLIES BY CHARGING LOTT
WITH GRAFT.

The case of George Lott against F. A.
Fender and the Merchants bank of
Waitsburg, which was to have been
heard this morning before Judge Thos.
H. Brents, of the superior court was
continued until a future date, and it
is possible that it will be settled out
of court.
Lott accuses the defendants of de-
frauding him out of shares in the
German-American Coffee company
amounting to $1,000 and contracts for
4SO acres of Canadian land, amounting
to $500. The complaint alleges that
the shares and contracts were depos-
tied in the Merchants bank of Waits
burg as collateral security for $500 and
that the defendants threatened to pros
ecute him if the stock and contracts
were not turned over to the defend
ants.
Lott in his complaint states that in
order to save himself from possible
prosecution and on account of a lack
of funds, he assigned the securities to
the Merchants bank with instructions
to have the collateral turned over to
F. A. Fender and that the transfer was
made without any consideration
to the plaintiff whatever.
For their answer, the defendants al
lege that Lott at one time had been
in the employ of F. A. Fender ana at
various times had sold merchandise
belonging to the defendant Tor cash
and instead of turning over the money
from the sales he placed it in his
pocket and the money secured by the
plaintiff amounted to more than $looO.

tors reported to the department that the

had been convicted of having returned

Cancelled at his office and that he had

The postmaster who was Sc years old
oil the time of his arrest, was one of the
most ecC entrice characters with whom the
postal authorities have had to deal in
many raorths. On the ground that post
age stamps were nuisance because they
Ecmetlmes stuck together, he persistently
refused to lay in a supply of stamps for
the benefit of the patrons of his office.
Occasionally he would purchase a small
quantity of stamps, but never from the
department.

Mississippi and the mail supply of the

Meridian. August 5.--(Special)-J. T.
Sanfort of Mexico passed through this
city en- route to New York from Mexico,
where he has been actively engaged in
the mining business for the past eight
or nine years. Mr.. Sanfort was seen at
the depot and questioned regarding the
many reports that had been sent from
Mexico regarding the labor uprising and
anti-American spirit said to be prevailing
there.
While averse to discussing the matter,
Mr. Sanfort stated I'm plain words that he
thought the press agents In Mexico had

railroad employees were on a strike in
some parts of the republic, that the
Americans as a whole would not even be

authorities became convinced that all was
not right at the office, and an investiga-
ton was ordered to ascertain the post
masters method of transacting postal
business. A watch was kept on the office
and 1t was found that the postmaster had
been multiplying his cancellations by six,
the compensation of the postmaster of a
fourth class office being based on the
number of stamps Cancelled After his
trial and conviction he admitted that he
had padded his reports, but attempted to
justify his action by stating that the
postoffice was located one half mile from
the boat landing, and that he was obllg-
ed to carry the mail sacks to and from
the landing, and believed that he was en-
titled to more compensation because of
this service. While on the witness stand
he stated in his own defense that his re-
ports were unquestinoably correct, but
that the discrepancy between his reports
and the check conducted by the depart
ment was due to the fact that the mall
sacks were robbed every night after he
had completed his reports. The proof
however, offered by the government was
conclusive, and as the old man heard the
verdict of the jury. he exclaimed There
is no fool like an old fool"
