genial party.
Shortly after seven o'clock they all

Died.

Mr.. w. H. Wickiser, for the
past year and a half gardener fol
the Industrial Institute, died al

m, after a long illness. aged 81
years. His remains were taken
to Lake Charles on the early
train yesterday for burial

deceased had been very popular.
and members of the Institute
faculty followed his body to the
depot, six Of the cadets acting as
pail bearers: L. E. Gravel, Don
Vincent, Leonard McGinty, Sam
uel Credeur, Lionel Richard and
Barley Smith. Mr.. Wickiser
was a native of Ohio, having been
born in Delaware County of that
State in 1912. At the age of 20
he moved to Vermilion County.
Illinois, where he remained till
1882, when he moved to North
western Nebraska. In 1896 he
came to Lake Charles, La. and
from there came to be gardener
for the Industrial Institute here

tiers, all living; Frank Wickiser,
of Jackson County, Ohio, Mrs.
j. Lester Brown and Mrs. L. r.
Hiscook of Lake Charles, La,
and twin daughters, Edna and
Florence. Mr.. Wickiser has led
a most exemplary life, being the
best type of the honest, indus
trious, plain living American
farmer. He bore a very remark
able resemblance to Abraham
Lincoln, and undoubtedly pos
sessed many of the great mans
virtues, as well as a sense of hu-
NOR and general good nature that
made the resemblance more
striking. His faithful services
as gardener and superintendent
of the grounds of the Industrial
Institute made him practically
Indispensable, and his death will
be felt as a great loss to the
school. He was buriedyester day

the meet intend to push it through if
possible and have every reason to ex-
pect that the meet will be held in this
city.
The recent meet in Spokane plainly
showed that If the track meets were
encouraged they would become popular
with the general public. The question
of expense would not be a difficult one
to solve if the arrangements were turn
ed over to the proper hands. The ex-
pense would not be as heavy as might
be supposed. At the recent meet there
were many incidental expenses that
would not come up In other meets.
Then. too, the attendance would be
even larger at a meet such as the one
suggested than it was at the triangu-
lar meet. The students from Pullman,
Whitman and Moscow would come in
large delegations, and a few could be
expected from Missoula. The meet can
be made a success in every way and
the chances are good that it will be
held.

Knight to accompany the latter's sister,

With that Brown began firing. hi.

q chance to bring his revolver into ac-

floor Of the rink. where 800 men, women

HISTORICAL SOCIETY BEG|Ns WORK

The Spokane section of the Inland

work of securing a history Of the In

ed to furnish any information they can
and it is hoped that much data may
be obtained so that a complete history
of the country may be compiled in the
near future.
The association, realizing the benefit
of historical data to the citizens of the
Northwest and especially to the rising
generation of this section of the coun-
try, and also the fact that the old pio-
neers, from whom the relics and
legends of the early days are only OBJ
tainable. are passing swiftly away, has
taken up this work of cleaning from

College Athletics viii Assemble
There Next June
SOME GOOD sPRInTERs EXPECTED THERE
MONTANA, IDAHO, WHITMAN AND
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
WILL BE REPRESENTED.

A big, healthy boost is to be started
to hold a track meet in Spokane next
June, at which time the teams from
the universities of Montana, Idaho,
Whitman college and the Washington
State college at Pullman will meet to
try conclusions, says the Spokane
Chronicle.
1t appears at present as though the
plan would carry through, as the four
schools named are we'll matched and
are anxious as rule to try cOnclu-
sions. There are several things in IA
vor of the meet in Spokane. In the.
first place Spokane is a central point
and is not far distant from any one
of the schools The University of Ida
no was the only one of the institutions
named that sent a team to the big
intercollegiate meet at Seattle this
year. The expense is too great for the
other schools and the chance of win
ming out too slight.
The meet at Spokane as proposed
would serve double purpose. 1t
would decide the championship of the
four institutions and would also decide
which team should attend the Seattle
meet should it be decided to enter the
contests at the latter place. 1t would
also serve the purpose of showing the
manager of the Spokane Amateur
Athletic Club track team which men
would be the most valuable on the
athletic club team in the triangular
meet.
The matter will be passed up to the
athletic management of the four in
situations shortly after the opening of
the fall term There are athletes from
all Of the schools named in the city at
present and every man has expressed
himself as favoring the meet in Spo-
kane The men who have advocated
