BOY SHOT BY WOMAN.
Mrs. Harry Strom Objected to Fishing
On Her Place.

At Dayton, on Thursday afternoon
in the Touchet river. Mrs. Harry
Strom with a 32-caliber Winchester
rie shot 11-year-old Earl Dunlap
through the groin, inflicting a danger
Gus wound. Young Dunlap and three
companions had just emerged from
the swimming hole and had been
Joined by three other boys who were
fishing in the stream.
The woman had previously put up
trespass sign to prevent the SWIM
ming hole from being used, which she
claimed was on her premises. In Or
dering the boys away an alteration
ensued, during which one of them
tauntingly exclaimed:
You're a big bluff. You dah't
shoot! You couldn't hit a barn door!''
Whereupon the exasperated woman
sent a bullet crashing through Dun
laps groin.
Mrs. Strom had previously become
a terror to pleasure seekers along the
river. She had shot at three before
but they had kept the matter a secret
until the Dunlap incident. Eugene
Leonard, young man of Dayton, an
other man, one of the prOprietOrs of
the Dayton steam laundry and third
man, the local representative, just
from Portland, of Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., grain dealers, had fled from bull
lets by scampering off through the
brush.

council and that all the accounts OF
each department are audited by the
full council. Not a cent of money can
he paid out of the treasury until the
council has authorized the drawing OF
a warrant. Thus under our charter
the council is just as much in con-
troll of the financial affairs OF the city
as the board of commissioners is OF
those of the county. If any illegal
or improper bill against the city has
been allowed at any time the council,
not the mayor, was responsible. For
the last five years the Boxers nave
had a majority of the council and II
grating and corruption have been as
common as the little dodger charges,
then the Boxer majority of the coun-
Gil cannot shirk the blame.
The quotation from the little
dodger used as the text of this artl-
Gle proves conclusively that Lorton
all through this city campaign has
been writing what he does not believe,
that he has been charging Mayor
Hunt with responsibility for alleged
sins of omission and commission for
which on April Goth he expressly de-
cared the mayor was not culpable.
The EXPLANATION is that LortOn is now
working for a subsidy. 1t has been
charged and not denied that John L.
Wilson. the perennial Spokane Seattle
candidate for the United States senate,
has hung up a sack to be presented
in discrediting Senator Ankeny in his
home town by defeating his friend
and champion, Gilbert Hunt. Lorton
is now working for that sack, but he
will find when the votes are counted
tonight that his Boxer pole was too
short to knock the persimmons. The
voters of Walla Walla are thoroughly
alive to the issue and the majority of
them are on the alert to block the
game to throw down the best mayor
Walla Walla ever had and place the
collection of Senator Ankeny in
jeopardy. Every loyal citizen of Walla
Walla will go to the polls today and
cast his vote for Mayor Hunt, prog
ress and prosperity and the retention
of the honor and prestige of being
one of the only two cities of the state
having a member of the United States
senate.

| healthful, beautiful and progressive

healthful, beautiful and progressive
city.
On the contrary Mayor Hunt for
many years has been working for the
Walla Walla. He has given employ
ment to a large "tin-bucket brigade"
and has contributed to the comfort
and happiness of many workingmen's
families. AS mayor he infused into the
sluggish veins and arteries of an over
grown mossback town of ten thousand
people a spirit of progress and i'm
provement that has doubled the pop
ulation in four years and made Wal
la Walla one of the most prosperous
and promising cities of the state.
The people of Walla Walla are now
asked to throw down a mayor like
this of which any city should be proud
in order that a reactionary bunch of
Boxers may crafty their petty spite,
hate, envy and malice toward the
mayor, Senator Ankeny and all Of
! those who have been more successful
in winning political hOnors than the
pessimistic leaders of the Boxers.
There is not the slightest danger that
the voters will do anything of the sort.
On the contrary they will give Mayor
Hunt an Endorsement so emphatic and
unmistakable that it will mean the
everlasting doom of Boxerism in Wal
la Walla.

Bosco the Snake Eater.

EVERETT, July 9.-It was a grew
some sight that greeted the eyes of
Deputy Sheriff Jeff Beard and Special
officer Harlan, as they opened the
door of a room in a Riverside hotel,
where they arrested Bosco the snake
eater, who leafs them alive before
your vry eys," for jumping his ooard
bill The officers made the arrest on
Thursday evening and haven't recov-
cred from the effects yet.
officer Harlan says that when the
officers opened the door there was dis
closed a scene that would make a
liquor drinker sicken at the sight of
the stuff Snakes were in the bed, on
the bed, under the bed, back of the
bed; they wre coiled on top of the
dresser playing on the floor and fight
ing on the washstand. One immense
blacksnake was coiled around one leg
of the only table the room contained,
another monster of the wilds was
coiled around the neck of Mrs. Bosco,
and BoscO was amusing himself with
two small ones in his hands.

THE SENATE GETS AN 0. X.

After two weeks service in the SEN

years absence, Mr.. William Pinckney
Whyte gives the muckrakers and
treason-mongers a body blow by de-
claring that the senate is just as good
as it ever was.
When Mr.. Whyte sat in the senate
there were such members as Yates
and Trumbull of Illinois, Hendricks
and Morton of Indiana, Harlan of
Iowa, Morrill, and Fessenden of Maine,
Conkling of New York, Sumner and
Wilson of Massachusetts,, Wade and
Sherman of Ohio Anthony of Rhode
Island, Edmunds of Vermont, Carpen-
ter of Michigan, Howe of Wisconsin
and Schurz of Missouri.

this as a great senate. Mr.. Whyte de-

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS.

The bunch of Boxers and Utlanders
who are fighting Mayor Hunt are the
same men who have been fighting
every public Improvement that has
been proposed and undertaken in
Walla Walla for the last ten years
or longer. They have been clogs upon
progress and dead weights upon the
advancement of the city. If they had
had their way Walla Walla would
have been disincorporated years ago
and would always have remained
struggling village with cowpaths for
streets and shacks, rookeries and
barns as it's most pretentious public
buildings.
that opposed the establishment in this
city of the high school and it was a
years ago threatened to prevent the
construction of the present magnif-
cent high school building through in
junction proceedings. 1t is this same
Boxer bunch employing the same
same Boxer attorneys that is now at
tempting to prevent the use Of the
new s250,000 water system through
an injunction forever restraining the
city from taking any water from Mill
creek through the new pipe line
Whenever any public improvement is
suggested or undertaken their first
thought is of an injunction. Even
when they acknowledge that the i'm
provement proposed would be a ben
eft to the city, they stand ready to
oppose it because of alleged lack Of
confidence in its promoters. With this
Boxer bunch it is a dog in the
manager policy. They growl, and snarl
and snap at all who stand for prog
ress and improvement as unworthy of
trust. yet they refuse to take the in
itiative themselves in any movement
that will advance the interests and
promote the growth of the city.
Some of this bunch of Boxers live

Lawson is indeed an odd character.
In way he has been right and in sew
eral ways he has been wrong. Looking
back over the past year it must be said
that on the whole he was a moving
force for good, though sensationalism
married his efforts, and mighty ego,
ever present and all-pervading, put
personal color upon every move. What
ever of nobility of character and de-
sire for righteousness might have
been discerned in the man when he

longer to follow him.
At the time when he came west and
met the governors of states graphing
with great questions affecting the peo-
pie, he looked to many like a new
leader destined to accomplish much.
To others, who never took him Sc
riously, he looked like a pursuer of
the bubble reputation" a lover of
publicity, a grandstand player Going
back to Boston he fell into innocuous-
ness and has been heard from only at
intervals when he has issued an
nouncements of the coming doom
which to date has failed to come.
If any condensation Of the Lawson
plan and purpose were possible it
would probably be found in the state
ment that as a stock market manipu-
lator he had advance knowledge of
crookedness in high places, of which
the general public at that time sus-
pected nothing. Evidently it was Law
sons belief that these things were sure
to come out sooner or later, in which
he was right. No doubt he figured
that he might as we'll get the publicity
attaching to the original exposer. But
he went wrong in his calculation of
the effect. The country was too pros
porous, too sound at heart, and there
were too many good, honest people do

that Lawson might have calculated

At present Lawson is playing a sure
thing. He cannot lose. He is predict

Like the man who goes around waiting
to be struck by lightning who is sure
to be struck if he lives long enough, so
Lawson is sure to see a decline some
day. 1t may be tomorrow, in six
day, and then, if the present genera
ton be on earth or not, Lawson will
make good, for he can simply point to
