Zealously the work of getting tho
four strings of horses now stabbed at
the race track into condition for the
coming races is carried out by those in
charge of their training.
At any time of the day one may
see the carts spinning around the
track, sometimes with a string of five
or six trailing around after each 9TH
er with the light thud, thud of the
future racers falling like clock work.
Early in the morning, before many
of even the early risers have risen.
the animals are taken out for their
early morning jog. 1t is that work
which is NOSE enjoyed by both horse
and trainer. The morning air is cool
and invigorating and the spirits of the
horses respond in a manner which
makes it difficult to keep them from
breaking the pace.
Of the horses training, perhaps the
best known are under the care of Will

CONFESSION
Wa||a Wa||ans Knowing Her
bert Discredit Story

People in Walla Walla who knew
the late Professor Herbert well and
who had intimate business and So
cial relations with him doubt the ver-
acity of Mrs. Reynolds confession as
given in another column.
They all believe it is a dramatic plav
on her part to save her husband from
the gallows.
Another point is that Herbert is
dead now and cannot speak for him.
self.
1t is not true, as the other local
papers had it, that Herbert left Walla
Walla to go with the orchestra of the
Zinn Travesty company.
Manager ]. B. Catron, of the Key,or
Grand tells the following, which con-
clusively disproves the latter theory
Some time ago Professor Herbert
complained of having trouble with his
eyes and asked for weeks leave of
absence to go to Portland for treat
ment. This was readily granted.
Inc conversation was accidentally
overheard by the manager of the Zinn
company, who cOurteously offered
Prof. Herbert an extra ticket as the
troupe was also going to Portland to
play. This offer of Manager Mueller
of the linn Travesty company was
gladly accepted by the professor with
prOfuSive thanks. That is how it hap
pened that Herbert left town with the
theatrical company.
Only the day before the shooting
Manager Catron had received a letter
from Professor Herbert, in which he
mentioned the fact that he had Sc
cured expert treatment for his eyes.
The letter also dealt with minor busi-
ness matters, trivial to anyone else
but which of themselves showed the
musicians devotion to duty and inter-
est in the management of the theater
where he was musical director.
C. H. Reynolds, the murderer Of
Professor Herbert, is known to sew
eral Walla Wallans as a man of un-
controllable and unreasonable temper,
given to extreme heights of passion.
He was last seen in Walla Walla on
Aug. Is, 1905, when he was on a busi-
ness visit to the city from Milton,
where he was then located.

I She repeated her statement made in
the death room this morning to the
coroners jury, which after slight de-
liberation, rendered a verdict that
George Herbert met his death at the
hands of c. H. Reynolds.
Upon the person of George Herbert
at the time of the tragedy were found
two letters which corroborateS the con-
fession of Mrs. Reynolds and deny his
shielding ante mOrtem statement. One
letter is q passionate love missive and
the other contains the arrangements
made by the pair for Herbert to leave
his home in Walla Walla and reside at
the Lincoln, which is near the Rey-
nolds' home and possesses the cOnven-
ience of side entrance.
Also found on the person of Herbert
was a deed to San Diego property,
which Herbert had conveyed to him
self under the name of George Hlb-
bins. Mrs. Reynolds stated this morn
ing that his reason for this transaction
| was to transfer the property to her

STRAWBERRIES FAREWELL
Good Chance For Other Berries
and Cherries

Strawberries are almost a thing of
the past in Walla Walla this year.
There are still a few berries still COM
ing in, but for the most part of an in
ferior quality and a superior price.
Hood Rivers, such as are coming in
are selling for $2.75 and $500 per
crate with the price firm and indica-
tions that it will go up shortly. Ma
goon berries are a trifle under the
Hood River prices but receipts are few
and inferior. The crop has been
shorter this year than for 13 years
says well known fruit man in the
city, and in consequence prices have
been above the normal. Few berries
have been canned on account of the
high quotations and Walla Wallans
will have to live on apples or prunes,
of which the crop promises to be ex-
cellent.
Cherries have been coming in in good
quantities this week, and as a result,
prices have been weakened. Evidences
of damage by frost are more appar-
ent as the season advances, and it is
the opinion of local dealers that prices
on this popular fruit are as low as
they will go Cherries are retailing at
10 cents, and the price is firm at this
figure
Raspberries and Loganberries have
made their appearance on the local
market in limited quantities, the pre-
vailing price being Is cents for the
first receipts. Offerings will be large
in the raspberry market, however, and
the price will bO to a more reasonable
figure within a few days.
Old potatoes are about wiped out
and few dealers can fill orders in this
lire. New potatoes are coming in in
plentiful quantities and the demand
has freshened in proportion to the
drop in prices occasioned by the large
receipts.

1t is the opinion of many that the

borders on persecution. There is no
doubt that the boy at times drives
faster than the law allows but these
liberal fines mig ht well be divided
among many others who need a whole

are but few owners of machines in
