FOR RELIEF OF FUEL FAMINE
Railroad Men in City Promise Local

Carry Coal.

William MacMurry, general passen-
ger agent of the o. r. & N. and r.
B. Miller, general freight agent, were
Walla Walla visitors for several hours
today, leaving on the 1890 train for
Spokane. Mr.. Miller promised local
fuel dealers that the o. r. & N. would
do everything in its power ia relieve
the fuel famine in the near future.
Mr.. Miller contends, however, that
the scarcity Of fuel is not due so much
to the car shortage as the inability of
the coal mines to keep up with the
demand During their stay In Walla
walla, General Passenger Agent Mao.
Murray and Mr.. Miller visited the
site Of the new passenger depot and

Finally Purdy let out the water so the

Andrew Mellander told of becoming
alarmed at the absence of his brother
about midnight and going four miles
on foot to find him. He found him face
downward on the ground by a small
fire. When questioned he said Olsen
had gone to take the train for Port

Joseph Lamar, Aged Farmer of coun.

After an illness of over a year. Jo-
seph Lamar, one of Walla Walla coun.
tvs wealthiest farmers. died at ST.
Mary's hospital at 1O:3O o'clock las
night Of senile decay.
Mr.. Lamar was 20 years Of age and
was resident of Walla Walla county
for nearly 80 years, coming west from
Missouri in the late 7O's and settling
on a farm near Lamar station, which
was named in his honor by the w. &
c. R. when the railroad was built

For years Lamar and his brother,
both bachelors, lived the lives of re-
cluses in a little cabin on the banks
of the TOucnet river near Lamar sta

MELLANDER IS
HELD FOR TRIAL
RanCher Bound Over IN
Sum Of $4,000
ACCUSED OF KILLING OLSEN
Evidence is Circumstantial but
Conflicting Storis Makes Case
Look Dark
ACCUSED OF KILLING OLSEN

Nels Mellander, the man accused OF
numbering Ira Olsen, near Simmons
landing, September 80, was bound
over to the superior court on $4,000
bonds by Justice J. J. Huffman this
afternoon.
The evidence was entirely circum-
stantial and not very strong. The
most suspicious features of the case
are that Olsen is said by Mellander
to have started for Portland in the
middle Of the night in his shirt sleeves
and also the alleged discrepancy In
the stories Of Mellander in first saying
to one man that Olsen was going
across the river to work and to an
other that he was going to catch the
train for Portland.
Defendant is Calm.
The defendant was not put on the
stand, but took the whole affair with
seeming Indifference He sat through
out most of the hearing calmly
smoking a cigar and hardly speaking
a word to his attorneys during the
whole time. -
Rolla Pollock testified that he had,
on Saturday, Sept. 20. gone out to Eu-
reka Junction with Mellander and Oh
sen, that the latter tald him he was
going to work for Mellander as a cook.
He saw them start off in a cart. He
saw the body of Olsen when exhumed
and it had a broken nose and hit over
the right eye.
Albert Erickson, who had been
working as hired man man for Mel
lander for two weeks previous to
September 80, testified Mellander and
Olsen started out at s O'Clock Sunday
evening after tank of water Mel
lander returned next morning with
his brother Andrew.

Smiles A. Purdy, employe of the
railroad company, living 100 yards
from the river near Simmons landing,

noise at the river and, accompanied
by Tom Doherty, a friend, went down
to see what was the matter. He

WHITMAN COLLEGE SEEKS To RESTRAIN
WALA WALLA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Seeking to restrain the Walla Walla
board of county commissioners from
taxing property alleged to be exempt
under grant extended by the ter
ritorial legislative assembly Of 1888,
the board Of trustees of Whitman
college filed complaint in the Unit
ed States court at Seattle Tuesday in
which an order is asked restraining
the commissioners from collecting the
taxes on property owned by the col
lege.
The complaint sets forth that the
college is an institution which mas
given to the public ample considera-
tion for the grant OF exemption that
was extended to it nearly a half GEN.

Two cases taken under advisement
and one continued is the net result OF
the arrest of 16 Walla Walla saloon
men for an alleged violation Of the
Sunday closing law.
The cases against Williams & Nor
rison, John McFeelly and Louis
Schmidt were dismissed by Judge
Huffman this morning on consent Of
City Attorney Blandford.
C. c. Gose, representing the Walla
Walla Liquor Dealers association,
and Attorney Blandford went before
Judge Huffman this morning and ar
ranged for a dismissal Of the cases,
it being shown that the evidence
against the saloonmen was that they
had only their back doors open on the
Sunday in question.

TWO CASES OUT Of SIXTEEN ARE
NET RESULTS Of SALOON FIGHT

Under the ruling Of the court in
former cases, that back doors being
open did not constitute a violation Of
the law unless it was proven that
liquor was actually being sold, Judge
Huffman dismissed the three cases.
The case against Louis Grossmiller
will probably be taken up tomorrow
afternoon, the defendant asserting
that he can satisfactorily explain why
restaurant has been opened up in
the rear Of the saloon every Sunday
and closed during week days.
The cases taken under advisement
are those against F. A. Dryden and
john Kremer. Judge Huffman Is exc
pected to render a decision within q
few days.

''Yet in the face of the law, these

scription of land, no binding clause

sole justification that clerk at the
penitentiary in 1905 told him that the
board did not require the more detailed
blank to be used, but that to use the
old, short form was all right. He also
says that his predecessor in Office
told him the same thing. Accordingly

Mr.. Kees granted the application

ever. Delivery of the bags was made
early in August. Two months before
that r. L. Rush Of Pomeroy, reputed
to be a business rival of Knettle &
McKiernan, by letter, dated June s,
warned Mr.. KEGS that if KneItle &
McKiernan were purchasing $4,000
bags they were purchasing 10000
more than they had need Of Mr..
KEGS declined to heed the warning.
Several times before delivery he re-
ceived similar warnings, all Of which,
as he admits, he declined to need in
order to stop the shipment.
after delivery, when complaint was
made to the board of control, that body
on August q, instructed Mr.. KEGS to
make an investigation. Mr.. KEGS made
no reply to these instructions until
September 10, when he wrote saying
he had no means Of knowing what
Knettle & McKiernan had done with
their sacks, that if they had speculat-
ed in them it was up to the complain
ants to prosecute them in the courts
at Pomeroy and that he did not con-
slider it his duty to conduct a prose-
cution.
"Of course he had not been asked to
conduct a prosecution, since the law
says he is the only one to prosecute
in an event of that sort, but merely
to investigate; but Mr.. Kees could not
see that. His subsequent letters were

The new ordinance, requiring pro-

This blank contained a form of affi-

there, and to set forth the description
of the lands, the fact that they were
