$4,000 CLUB FOR WALLA WALLA
Prominent Business Men viii Hold Meeting Friday Night and Take
Preliminary Steps to Form Organization to Boost for
Metropolis Of Southeastern Washington

Believing that much good work can
be done among the tourists that are
coming from the east to the Pacific
coast by systematic advertising of
Walla Walla and surrounding country
and attracting manufacturers, inves-
tors, business men and farmers to
come to this city and assist in building
up the country, about 20 of the repre-
sentative men of Walla Walla will
hold a meeting Friday night and
launch a movement by which they
hope to increase the population of the
city to $4,000 by the close of the year
1910. According to the suggestion
made by a leading merchant the 20
business men will get together and
discuss the best means and ways of
organizing the club and then an ac-
tive canvass will be made for mem
bers. One plan advanced is to secure
a membership of about 5000, and
charge such persons the sum of 81 per
year as dues. This would create a

there is a pronounced exodus of miners

The names of those fleeing are being

that cases have developed in Idaho by

The case against Harris was one

young man was placed On trial last
October the courtroom was filled with
people from Prescott and that neigh
borhood Miss Ogden, with her chlo
and accompanied by her parents, was
the center of attraction during the
trial. which resulted in the jury failing
to agree on a verdict. Harris for sew
eral months was locked up in the
county Jail, but after the trial he was
released on bonds of $4,000 furnished
by friends and relatives.
Miss Ogden alleged that Harris as
saulted her just before taking a tram
for North Carolina year ago. Inc

track west of Prescott when the al
legged assault took place. Harris ano
his friends stoutly denied the accusa
ton and stubbornly fought the case

DEPUTY BYRNEs BAFFLED
Officers Believe That Men Were

Friends.
DEPUTY BYRNEs BAFFLED

WALLULA, Wash, Feb. 26.-The
two men arrested at Wallula Saturday
afternoon, suspected of being the pair
responsible for several postoffice rob-
berries the past few months and who
succeeded in breaking Jail Saturday
night with the aid of outside help,
have so far managed to elude capture
and the Wallula officers have about
given up hope of ever laying hands on
the men.
Upon discovering that the men had
succeeded in breaking Jail Deputy
Byrnes organized a posse and tracked
them to a point three miles up the
Walla Walla river, where the trail was
lost in the dark. Byrnes spent the
night searching the vicinity and at
daybreak yesterday morning tried to
pick up the trail of the two men, but
without success. The deputy returned
to Wallula last night thoroughly tired
out and disgusted
Had Outside Help.
The officers are inclined to think
that somebody residing in Wallula
had a hand in effecting the release Of
the two men. Deputy Byrnes employ
ed John Doak, a well-known Wallula
boy, to assist in guarding the prison
ers. The deputy and Doak took the
prisoners to a restaurant for supper
and while the men were eating Doak
got up and left. He failed to return
when the men had finished eating and
Deputy Byrnes took them back to the
Jail alone. He left for a few minutes
to look up Doak or employ another
guard. When he returned he found
! that the men had succeeded in break
| ing out An iron crowbar stolen from
a nearby Toulouse was used in prying
off several iron bars guarding one OF
| the windows of the jail An opening
| large enough to allow a man to pass
| through had been forced with the bar
which was still lying on the ground
Took Up the Trail.
| Byrnes Immediately organized 6
posse and took up the trail of the two
men, which followed the Walla Walls
river Owing to the darkness the
| tracks were lost about three mile:
above Wallula and the posse was un
able to pick up the trail. Severa
members of the posse returned tt
town, but went out again yesterda!
morning to assist Byrnes. No trace
of the men could be found, however
and the search was given up late il
| the afternoon.
The two men when arrested b!
