DIES IN WATER TANK.
Railroad Man Gets Terrible Death in
North Dakota Town.

FARGO, N. D., Feb. 17.-Severt
Hongslo, in charge of the Great North
ern watertank at Kindred, in this coun-
ty, met death in a peculiar manner.
The pipes from the well to the tank
had become frozen. and he was engage
ed in tnawing them out. The pipes
are wide at the top and run to point
at the bottom of the well, forming
V-shaped affair. Hongslo started to
crawl through the trap door, slipped
and fell headlong into the well and his
body was caught between the pipes,
being crushed and crowded together
as the pipes narrowed. He was held
in this manner till he slowly suffocated.
The rather despised Devils Lake res
ervation lands promise to attract lot
of attention this spring, as result of
the extension of the Fargo Aneta
branch of the Great Northern to Devils
Lake. The lottery sale Of the lands
by the government was not a huge
success two years ago and much of the
land is still held by the United States.
The railroad extension means a line
along this land and it's value has been
greatly enhanced. Several Fargoans
are planning to secure tracts there.

Needs Another Town For His Six.
Club League.
COMBINATION WITH pENDLE1ON THE PLAN
OLD TIME FAN BELIEVES A CLUB
COULD BE MADE TO
PAY.

The old plan of combining Walla
team in the Northwest league is being
revived. President Lucas of the North
west is now having strenuous time to
get a sufficient number of towns to
comprise his six club league for 1906
and is casting eyes at Walla Walla and
Pendleton with the hope of helping him
out of mis- difficulty. Lucas was in
Everett this week trying to interest the
fans of that city to put team in his
league, but, according to reports from
the Smoky City, he did not meet with
much encouragement. Lucas claims
that he has baseball we'll in hand in
Butte, Spokane, Bellingham and Vic
toria, B. c. He is now figuring with
Tacoma, which he asserts will likely
make the fifth city in the combination.
Although the prospects are not very
flattering at this time. Lucas does not
seem to be discouraged and he says
that he feels certain of securing the
sixth town to come in.
Lucas has written to some Of the
magnates in Walla Walla concerning
the combination team with PendletOn,
but the plan is not receiving mucn en-
couragement here. In speaking of the
subject this morning a gentleman who
was one Ct the leading promoters in
ball in the days gone by said.
Il do not look with favor on the
combination plan, but 1 believe that
sufficient backing could be secured here
for an independent team to put into
the league. Walla Walla certainly now
has a population sufficient to support
a semi professional team, which 1 I'M
derstand is to be the calibre Of the
Northwest league this year. If the sal
airy limit can be held down to fair
figure Walla Walla could probably be
Of course the town would not stand
for more than three games week and
probably the gate receipts here would
not be large enough to meet all ex-
penses of the team, but the share OF
gate receipts received in Spokane
Butte and Tacoma would even up the
income so that 1 believe that it could
be made to pay"

before the commissioners for the pur-
pose of arguing the question, but the
commissioners expressed themselves as
feeling unequal to the task of passing
upon a question which has already
been decided by the supreme court of
the United States, and suggested that
a friendly suit be started in court.
This course was decided upon.
The merchandise in question, held
by Balfour, Guthrie & Co., consists of
a large quantity of cement, valued at
1000 and the firms attorney holds
that until the merchandise is remov-
ed from the original package it is only

MIdWInter Meeting Held al Billings
Hall Last Night.
DISCUSSED The FOOTBALL QUESTION
PROFESSOR HENDRlCk AND &. L.
BRUNTON FAVOR ABOLISH
MENT OF THE GAME.

About 60 members of the Whitman
college council, composed of the faculty,
alumni and trustees assembled in the
dining room of Billings hall last night
for the midwinter meeting. After an
appetizing lunch the tables were clear
ed and the papers for the evening We're
read and discussed.
Otto B. Rupp, '9S, presented the sub
ject The Control of College Athletics
After discussing the impossibility of
adequate control on the part of the
trustees or student body he turned to
the faculty as the only ones who were
able to deal with the situation. He
advocated giving the major influence
on the athletic committee to those de-
partments which consider less the
practical and would be most apt to be
actuated by the highest ideals, citing
ethics and Greek as examples In con-
sidering his subject Mr.. Rupp made
his arguments General so that they
would apply to any school rather than
combining himself to Whitman alone.
Discussion followed by Professors Ly-
man and Brattain. P. M. Winans and
other members of the alumni.
Football Question.
The second topic was the abolish
ment of Football" given by NJ. D. Wal
ters, '02 who made a record for him
self while in school by playing guard.
He took the position that most of the
agitation against football has been by
impractical college professors and yell
body of college men and true lovers of
good sport would ever remain faithful
to this great game.
Following the address Professor A.
w. Hendrick and Postmaster e. L.
Brunton, 49, debated the question, both
favoring President Elliot's views on
football abolisnment. The game was
warmly defended by Professors l.. F.
Anderson and w. D. Lyman, M. A.
KEGS, 'O4, and many others of the
alumni.
After a summary Of both discussions
by A. H. Reynolds, who acted as chair
man, the council went into executive
session. After making their decisions
it was decided that they should never
be published.
Although the council has no execu-
tive authority in governing the college,
whatever it might vote for would be
very seriously considered by the fac
ulty. Whatever might be the views Of
the council. Whitman would probably
take no such steps as has columbia,
unless it should be agreed upon by all
the schools of the Northwest league.

give the people of Walla walla such
a high grade of music.
The Maennerchor was never in bet
ter voice and their numbers with and
without orchestral accompaniment
were excellent, showing good training.
Mrs. L. l.. Tallman gave three mum
bers, which We're the gems of the en-
tertainment. Her ricn soprano voice
was probably heard to the best ad-
vantage in Doris"
Professor T. j. Pennell sang "Gipsy
John" in excellent style and was COM
PEELED to respond to a hearty encore
The duet by Mrs Tallman and Mr.
Pennell was a beautiful number and
was rendered in an artistic manner
The augmented orchestra of % mu-
sicians proved a great surprise to the
audience. The rendit on of Scnubert's
Unfinished Symphony was everything
that could be asked for and demon
strated that Walla Walla has music
ians capable of giving the public the
works of the old masters.

MEN LOST FROM PARTY.
Two Wisconsin Hunters Almost Worn
Out.

OuC.
LOYAL, Wis, Feb. Hilary Riddel
and James Cook, both prominent citi-
zens of Jackson county, had a narrow
escape from being devoured by wolves
on the evening of January 20. They
had been hunting the beasts all day
with a party of hunters from neighbour
ing towns and farmers.
Becoming separated from the main
party, they lost their way Darkness
found them still undetermined as to
the course to pursue. Gathering some
dry branches, they built fire to pro-
tect themselves in case of attack No
sooner had they kindled the fire than
the sound of the animals was heard
in the distance, and, placing their backs
to a large rock, the men prepared for
battle.
In ten minutes the forest seemed
alive with dusky forms. and soon the
battle was raging. The remainder OF
the party had gone in search of the
missing men, and came upon them as
thew had exhausted their ammunition
and were fighting with fire brands as
a last resort.
The wolves disappeared at the APP
proacn of the larger party, fifteen OF
the vicious bruites having been KILL
ed.
