FINDS HIS HORSE.
School Teacher and Plow Woman
Works Him-Got to Pay.

John Dunnigan is rejoicing in the re-
covery of bay mare which jisap-
peared from the lanes near the Dun
nigan ranch out on the Touchet hills
last March.
And Mrs. Mcmillan, rancher of that
neighborhood, may have to pay fine
of 500 for taking the animal up and
working it. This is said to Ue an ole
trick of the thrifty school teacher and
plow woman and the law provides
penalty of 800 fine for such offenses.
A friend of Dunnigan's noticed the
mare hitched to a rack near the Idle
Hour this morning and Nels Peterson
put the equine in the Star barn. Mr..
Dunnigan will try to make the eco
nomical Mrs. Mcmillan pay for the use
of the mare.

Among Business Men For
Fourth Of July Fund

Upon the result of today's canvass

municipality and vaunted metropolis
of the southeast or whether the city -
to be relegated back to the moss grown
type of village some of the cynics in
sist on calling the town.
Chairman Joe Scott, of the soliciting
committee has sent his lieutenants out
on the last trip of soliciting and If
the merchants show they are not pro-
gressive enough to want a celebration
then there will be none. 1t is up to
the energetic men of the town to come
through and talk their apathetic
brethren in trade into digging up the
necessary iron men,"
Some of the leading firms of the city
have contributed generous sums to the
fund already and if those who are
hanging back will only follow the good
example set by these people there is
no reason why Walla Walla should not
not be the main center of attraction in
this section on Independence day.
