but when it came TO getting the shoe on
again there was trouble. The shoe
wouldn't go on. Then the shine reOple
took a hand and put the old man out.
With one shoe OFF and one shoe on the

Hateful Boys, Hungry Hogs.

Henry and Clarence La Brache came
back from the breaks of the Umatilla
Saturday with a very unfavorable opin-
ion of the meddlesome disposition of
the domestic hog. There are hogs on
the breaks, neighborly hogs, sociable
hogs, inquisitive hogs. The boys had
large trunk full of provisions, and
having snapped down the lid, thought
it entirely safe when they left camp
and set out for the river with their
fishing paraphernalia. But a mountain
hog can open trunk, and when there
are several Of him, equally voracious,
he can devour all its contents and
clamor for more. When they returned
to camp at night the boys didn't find
enough grub to feed dyspeptic. Hun
cry and forlorn, they bought hand
out at the neighboring tent of a good
Samaritan, Mr.. Mcqueen of Milton,
and drove back to town, their outing
spoiled. AS they presented the Leader
with fine, fat grouse, it is pleased to
voice their condemnation of hogs in
general and mountain hogs in parti-

HUNT FOR TWO EI-CONV|CTs
Police Notified to Watch For
Dangerous Safe Blowers.
lately RELEASED FROM RNEllS
BELIEVED THEY HAVE BEEN
. TURNING SOME TRICKS ON
THE SOUND.

TACOMA, Oct. 15.-All over the north
west the police are looking for John
Bell and Frank Wilson, expert safe
crackers, recently released from the
United States penitentiary at McNeil's
island. They are known to have been
in the vicinity Of Tacoma, and Bell,
at least, is capable of doing as ex-
cellent a job as was done on the N.
safes. Description Of the two men
have been sent out over the country.
Bell is an expert safe blower. 1t is
said that there is not a safe made that
he can't get into. He is also good
general and is capable of planning such
job as the one done in Tacoma. Will
son is not considered to be so clever
but he was with Bell in safe blowing
trick before, and is said to be dan
gerous robber under an efficient leader.
The pair were released from the
island penitentiary about a month ago.
They were seen in Tacoma, it is said,
less than a week ago.
Bell and his pal were sent up from
Bigg City, Ore, about three years ago.
They blew up the postoffice in that
town. They made a mistake in the
charge and the explosion brought the
people of the town upon them before
they made their escape.
When released the men came to Ia
coma. Wilson asked for a ticket to
Portland and Bell asked for passage to
North Yakima. The Portland ticket
was never called for, it is said. Two
days after Bell took his ticket for va
kima an attempt was made to blow
the safe in an Ellensburg meat market.
1t failed from the fact that the robber
had not the proper tools.
Wilson was about Tacoma for sever
al days. About week ago both men,,
it is said, were seen in Tacoma. So far
neither of them has been heard from
in any other locality and it is argued
that if they were not busy they would
not be keeping so well under cover.

Warm County Seat Fight.

The struggle between Kalama and

defensive, is becoming interesting. In
order to win Kelso must have three
fifths of vote cast at the coming cleo
ton and in a square fight between the
two towns there was a fair chance of
doing this until some one complicated
the situation by making it three
cornered fight, Castle Rock entering
the contest, splitting the vote and tend
ing to prevent Kelso from getting the
necessary three-fift Both petitions

SHIFTING SANDS CAUSE DISPUTE

OLYMPIA, Oct. 15.-The shifting
sands of the Columbia were the sub
ject of suit involved in hearing
before the state land commission be-
tween two applicants for detached
tide-lands on the Columbia river in
Pacific county. The sand island in
volved is valuable fishing ground.
The two applicants were N. Troyer
and John T. M. Harrington. Each own
sand islands on the Washington side,
to which the tide of the Columbia has
in recent years brought additions.
Troyer made application to purchase
several acres Of this land from the
state as attached to his sand island. His
application to purchase was made on
September 5, los, and Harrington ap-
piled for another tract of tideland adj
joining his island on April LOG. The
two applications overlap on a small tri-
angular piece of ground, the right to
secure which was the bone of conten-
ton.
The chief question was whether the
disputed portion was an addition to
Troyer's or Harrington's land and sew
eral witnesses, including civil engin-
GERS, were called in.
