The Walla Walla Bulletin says of
the opening of the walla Walla fair:
Many people from Pendleton and

the city this morning to visit the fair,

inent resident of Pendleton stated
this morning that the exhibits and
racing features were far and away
ahead of what had been expected.
Hundreds OF people who attended
the fair last evening were delighted
with the music furnished by De Ca

ATTEMPTED HOLDUP.
Aged Man Attacked by Robbers Near
Potlatch Lumber Yards.

Another attempted robbery occur
red about $3.50 last evening when two
unknown men attempted to hold up
an old man living in the west end OF
the city. That they did not succeed
was due to the fleet footedness of the
victim.
According to the account given by
the old gentleman, whose name was
not learned by the police, he was pass
ing the Potlatch Lumber company's
yard about $3.50 last evening when
he was stopped by two men whom
he could not recognize in the dark
ness. He was told to give up his
money, but as the highwaymen did
not appear to be armed, he decided
to take chance at running. He did
so and managed to escape, the rob-
Ders evidently not daring to follow
him out into the light
Immediately after getting away
from the robbers the old man notified
the night officers of the occurrence
and Messrs. Waters and Sheer took
40 the search for the perpetrators.
the section or .6wn in the vicinity
OF the lumber yard was carefully
watched, but from indications the
would-be hold up artists had lost no
time in leaving the scehn of their
failure.
Owing to the fact that the men
could not be identified in the dark
ness the police had little to work ON
in trying to find them.
