BUGGY AND TEAM
PERHAPS STOLEN
STRANGE OUTFIT HAS NO
ONE TO CLAIM OWNERSHIP.
Property is Now i'm Charge of the
City Marshal. and There is a Theory
That 1t Had Been Misappropriated
Elsewhere and Abandoned Here
Below VIII Be Found Description
of the Property.

Who has lost a buggy and a dark
bay team? Evidently some party has
met with that misfortune, and if the
one who has will notify Marshal
Gurdane he may find the missing rig.
on Tuesday morning the chief
found team tied on Court street
near the Tribune office. 1t had been
standing there so long that the Off
GERS attention was attracted and he
finally took charge of the outfit and
placed the horses in a stable on Cot
tonwood street. Since then he has
been seeking the owner of the rig in
vain.
one of the horses is a bay gelding,
branded JF on the left stifle and both
hind feet are white. The other ami
NAL is a dark bay mare and brand
on the left shoulder is not legible.
The buggy is a Racine. and it is new.
Since the owner of the team and
buggy has failed to ask for the same
there is a suspicion that the rig had
been stolen and left where 1t was
found. However, no such theft has
been reported to the sheriff or the
chief of police.

TO RELIEVE WAII.A W.ALLA.
Suggested TO Get Supply of Coal
From Canada.

The Walla Walla Union gives the
following account of a proposed re-
lief Of the fuel situation in that city:
In accordance with the suggestions
of the directors of the Commercial
club in regard to the scarcity of coal
in Walla Walla and in response to the
general demand for more of this kind
of fuel. Secretary 4. c.. Moore began
making inquiries into the situation
with the result that temporary relief
from the uncomfortable shortage Is
promised. The Nelson Coal CON pa
ny, operating mines with capacity
Of 1000 tons per day in a letter to
Mr.. Moore, states that they are prac-
tically Il pwith their orders at the
mines and that they can fill a 1O-car
order within a week, providing that
the Great Northern could furnish
cars which could come through to
Wnlla Walla promptly.
Following is the communication to
Mr.. Moore. which is dated at Spo-
kane November 6:
"Mr l.. @. Monroe secretary Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce, made
inquiry of me today concerning pros
pect of shipping Nelson coal to Walla
Walla, and suggested that we write
you on the subject.
1--WE have made application to the
Great Northern, on whose lines our
mines are located, for joint rate on
coal to points on the Northern Paci-
fic but we cannot hope for publica-
tion of tariff inside of 60 days.

That the county court will collect
every cent of back taxes 1t finds pos
sible. was declared this morning by
the three members of that body which
is now engaged upon its November
session here. Also, they declare they
can collect everything due from men
who are still in the county and have
property subject to an attachment.
To ascertain the amount of the out
standing taxes Clark Nelson has been
engaged for several weeks past as Il
special clerk. He has now listed the
back real estate taxes up to the year
1900. and he has found many humid
reds of dollars due the county. He
is now engaged i'm looking up taxes
delinquent since 1900, and when he
has finished that task will take up the
delinquent personal tax list. How
ever personal taxes may be collected
only for the past six years, as amounts
due longer than that time are out
lawed. In the past there has been
no effective way of forcing the pay
ment of personal taxes, and as re q.
suit many who have known of this
state of affairs have refrained from
paying their personal taxes. Con-
spicuous among these is the Tribune
company.
This morning the court ordered the
county board of road reviewers to go
to Echo to map out new course for
the road entering the town from this
side. At present the road Is blocked

Paris, Nov. S.-The Countess de

there will be no trial of divorce. The

At the council meeting last night
the subject of charter changes was
brought up and furnished the most in
teresting thmee of the evening. At
the conclusion OF the discussion the
city attorney was instructed to pre-
pare a plan for changing the charter,
and he will report upon the same at
the next meeting.
Regarding how and how much the
charter should be altered, there was
some differences of opinion. Mayor
Fee favored making all the changes
needed at this time so that the prop
osition would not have to be taken up
| again Immediately. In his judgment
there were several points upon which
changes were needed, and he believed
| in giving all a chance to make sug-
| gestions.
at should be a charter such as the
people of Pendleton want, and would
suggest that a convention, similar to
a constitutional convention, be held
for the purpose of proposing changes.
The manner in which the present
charter was drawn was such that I
can never approve"
Others present believed that the
only change necessary at this time
would be in the article regarding the
city's limit of indebted dness. Some
feared that if the entire charter were
offered up for alteration, such a con-
vention would be raised that the main
issue might be lost sight of. How
ever, all were in favor of making inn
mediate changes, and the city attor-
ney was instructed to suggest a plan
for making the same.

more Last night warrant for S4,-
O29.75 was ordered drawn upon the
general fund in payment of interest
due upon the bonds, while the sum of
S17O920 was expended in paying the
monthly bills. As the money from the
sale of the levee bonds has not yet
been received, it has been necessary
to pay for levee repairs thus far with
money from the general fund. About
S25O0 has so far been expended, and
when the bond money is received this
will be returned to the general fund.

county clerk, gave information that
the city assessment for this year is

ment was $1,663. 3.116.5O, it being lower
this year because of the fact that As
