STORM SPOILED FIELD MEET.
Walla Walla High School Event Was
Unsuccessful.

""ia "uiiu uiSn SCHOOL Event was
Unsuccessful.
The Walla Walla Union says of the
Walla Walla field meet which was
held yesterday:
Weather, weather, weather, dished
up in generous, spicy slices, spoiled the
inter-class track meet on Ankeny
field yesterday afternoon. Old Bore
as and his brother Jupiter Pluvius,
clustered and spluttered around while
about half the events were pulled off,
and then got down right mad and de-
termined to put stop to the whole
business.
The crowd on the bleachers was the
first to surrender. Beribboned CO.
eds urging on their respective class
mates, rooters, spectators and all,
made rush for the grandstand and
huddled, shivering as far out of the
rain, the hail and the snow, as they
could get. The contestants themselves
| did not retreat until old Bory and
Pluvy began to do their dirtiest.
Last call had just been sounded for
the quarter mile and the racers were
| IlllllS up Ou lnelr HdrkeS, Wnen the
heavenly twins began pelting the bare
skins of the sprinters with volleys of
grape shot in the form of little chunks
of ice.
The athletes stood it for few min
utes, but they soon found that the
twins had an unlimited supply of am
munition. Instead of running around
the tracks they made fast time for the
shelter of the grandstand.
After several minutes more, with
no end to the fury of the elements
the manager, who had not taken the
precaution of providing skees for the
contestants, announced that the res
OF the events would occur this after
noon Thursday at AIS o'clock. NJ
admission will be charged.
No records were broken in any o
the events that did happen, owint
largely to the opposition of the ele
ments. There were some surprises
however. The greatest of these wa!
when Martin, of the first year clas!
of Pearson's academy, won the 100
yard dash from Cox, Whitman's pride
in the sprints. The time, however
was 10 3-5 seconds, while Cox ha:
done it before in 10 flat.

R. K. BROWN A JOKER.
Laid Board Walk and Then Watched
 Results.

People who don't know R. K. Brown intimately have very or roneous idea of the kind of a man he is. They think of him as one who always looks on the dark side of the picture and never utters pleasant word, while as matter of fact he is just the opposite of that, as everyDody knows who has come in contact with him in his merry moods. Saturday he found it necessary 10 lay several stout blanks across the sidewalk in Ex- change place where he is excavating for his proposed new block and when he had them down he remained there for hours watching people pass over them to make sure thas the boards were strong enough to bear up as many as could stand upon them. While thus occupied man happened along who had been celebrating and before he stepped on the blanks MT Brown addressed him in very kindly manner and requested him to take the street instead of the plank walk, add ing as he clapped him on the back that he had too much of load on and might break through and get hurt. The man took him seriously and stepped into the street while Mir Brown turned to one side and shook with laughter.

TROLLEY MEN HUSTLED
Were in Homes of Victims Short Iy After the Bank Street
 Collision To-Day.

The railroad people do things with rush when an accident happens in which they are concerned. A Demo- crat reporter thought he would be first to break the news to the fami- lies of the injured parties in Brook lyn after the accident at Bank street this noon. but when he was ushered into the residence of Charles York on South Leonar dstreet, an en- ploye of the trolley company was there ahead of him and appeared so much at home that If the reporter hadn't known him he would have mistaken him for one of the board CTS. But the reporter beat the troll ley fellows at Danisevicze's. He also surprised the girls father, who had not heard that his daughter was in the collision and politely informed him that there was nothing the mat ter with any member of his family. MT Danisevicze's store Is on Bank street, but the family lives on John street, so that although the girl had been taken to her home in a car riage, her father had not been ap- prised of the situation at the time and at once hurried of to see what was up. There was nothing wonder full about this, but the other case showed how the trolley agents can jump around when they want to.

THE PARIS STRIKE
Men Warned That They Are AIienating Public Opinion
 From Their Cause.

Paris, June 3.-Although it can not be said that any great change has taken place in the seamens strike, the situation this morning Is brighter and there are hopes of an early settlement of the dispute. The deputies representing the maritime districts are warning the men that they have been too precipitate and are alternating public sympathy by abruptly paralyzing trade. besides subjecting themselves to heavy pen alties.
 The maritime authorities have re- fused to accept the ships papers from the captains and consequently the latter are still nominally re. sponsible for their vessels. and the men, after the third days absence from duty, legally become deserters
 The government thus far has con fined it's action to insuring the trans portation of mails to the colonies, a regular schedule of transport sail ings having been inaugurated.

 Now Under Arrest.

New York, June 3.-Mrs Gather inc Killoran, wife of James Killoran. foreman of laborers in the McAdoo tunnel, was found dead In her homo in the Bronx to-day with half dozen knife wounds in her body.

He declares that he and his wife re- tired about 1 o'clock and that when he awoke a few hours later Mrs Kill loran was not in bed He got up and found her dead and covered with blood on the kitchen floor. Then he went for Henry to tell him of the tragedy and he declares he was on his way to the police station to re- port Mrs Killoran's death when he was arrested
 Several occupants of the house where the Killorans lived told the police they heard the couple quarrel- ing last night.

A LONE BURGLAR
Touched Up Two Safes in Fair field and Stole inc
 Contents.

Fairfield, June 3.-A lone burglar just before daylight to-day blew open the safe in the office of A. s. Perry here and then did likewise with a safe in the postoffice kept by E. w. s. Pickett A small sum of money was obtained from the first safe but noth- ing was taken from the postofice safe owing to the fact that the burglar was kep busy using his gun to keep of Postmaster Pickett whose atten- tion had been called to the explosion and was on the street investigating the breaks. MT Pickett says that he is certain there was only one man, who got away without leaving any trace. There were no signs of vehicle tracks and it is presumed the man came and went on foot. He got into a local plumbing shop to get tools with which to work on the safe. MT Pickett says the burglar sent seven- teen shots at him and six or seven were returned. It was very dark and on both sides the aim was bad. Sev- eral men in town were aroused by the racket, but they came to MT Pickett's assistance too late to capture the burglar.

HORSE WAS STOLEN.
Man Handed Over to Bridgeport De- tective To-Day.

Lawrence McGrail, native of Texas, who has recently been escapading in Bridgeport, arrived in this city Sat- urday on horse which he had stolen from Contractor Godfrey of the Park City. He was arrested here yesterday afternoon by Detective Dodds and Doorman Lynch. To-day he was plac- ed in charge of Detective Cronin who came here from Bridgeport with MT Godfrey. McGrail has been in Bridgeport but a short time com ing there from New Jersey which was his first stopping place after he had departed from his native state with one of the best horses he could lay his hands on. Friday night he entered the barn of Godfrey in Bridgeport and made of with a horse and carriage. He is then reported to have driven to Middlebury and leaving the carriage in the bushes galloped into Water bury on horseback. He tried to dis pose of his piece of horseflesh at Sackett's but the proprietor smelled a rat and did not care to make pur- chase. But he agreed to keep the animal in his stable. Meanwhile the police had been notified by the Bridgeport department about the horse and carriage that were missing from that city. They were not long in finding the horse when they made tour of the local livery stables so they waited until McGrail came around yesterday morning for his steed. They quickly grabbed him. He remained in the station during the night. This morning when he was handed over 10 Cronln, the detective the owner and the prisoner leG by the latter started out to try to find the carriage and located 1t in Middlebury.
