Victim Chases Robber and Is Shot at
Three Times-Doinqs in
Police Circles.

]. F. Akerly, employed at the Bla-
lock company's ranch, west of Walla
Walla, was held up and robbed of 81
by a lone highwayman on the road
north of Fort Walla Walla last night.
Mr.. Akerly was trudging along the
road when the highwayman suddenly
blocked mis- way and ordered him to
throw up his hands. The order was
complied with and the robber went
deftly through his victims pockets,
taking some loose change.
Mr.. Akerly was then ordered to go
on his way and the robber turned and
fled in an opposite direction. Mr..
Akerly was considerably nettled at the
holiness of the highwayman, and gath
ering courage started after the man,
yelling for him to stop or he would
shoot The robber turned and fired
three SHOTS at Akerly, none Of which
hit the mark, however. Akerly con-
tinued the chase until he was winded,
when he retraced his steps to town and
notified the police Mr.. Akerly says
the fighwayman turned down the lane
leading to the old Crop farm and dis
appeared The man was described as
being short and heavy set and wearing
a moustache.

At the peace meeting Sunday night
the tabernacle was crowded to its
utmost, and the audience listened at
tentively to most interesting pro-
gram. Profs. Hansen and Mabey
occupied most of the time, discussing
the moral aspect of war, the history
of the Hague Conference, the question
of arbitration, the cost and horror Of
wer and its effect on the ideal of
American citizenship. The choir
sang appropriate selections and the
program was interpreted by a solo
from Miss Emily Larsen and duet
by Mrs. Florence Webster and Mrs.
Violet Uric. Other numbers we're

count of the length of the meeting.

with donation OF 5000, this latter

Due notice was given of the mass
meeting, aud if anybody was opposed
to the proposition to contribute to
the sufferers. it was their business to
be there. Inasmuch as everyone
present voted in favor of the PROPOSE
ton, it was ample suthorsty for the
council TO forward the amount.
1t is the man of decision, who 10
capable of raising and dealing with a
question while it is in season, that
we admire. There are many things
like this one. which lose their fer
vescence and go fat by being so long
deferred. Then just why the city
council should cut down the donation,
after having an expression of the
people on the matter. is something
we fail to understand. There is an
old axiom to the effect that officials
should be the servants of the people,
not their masters.
There are a great many people in
Cedar, who, like us, will be cha
grined on learning of the action Of
the city council in this matter.

meeting had been immediately for
