FARM ERS' UNION.
Branch to Be Organized Here Early
in July.

Owing TO misunderstanding the meet
ing held at the court house Monday
afternoon for the purpose Of organizing
local branch of the Farmers Educa
tfonal and Protective Union was not
properly advertised, and there we're not
enough present to effect organization,
which requires fifteen charter members.
However, Mr.. Wayman, district organ
izer, spoke at length on the objects and
purposes OF the union, and introduced T .
j. Murphy, editor Of the Winona News.
who he said had been delegated as local
organizer for this section and would
come to Colfax later for the purpose of
organizing local branch OF the union.
Mr.. Murphy spoke briefly, to the effect
that he would probably be able to be in
COlfax again about July 6, when organ
ization would be effected, and that he
would bill and advertise beforehand if
that date was practicable, after which
the meeting dispersed.

And their knowledge Of the law,
And procedure that proceeds without flaw,
Mixing equal parts of brain and nerve and jaw.
Oh, lawyers, oh, legal lawyers,
Oh, twisters of law and facts,
Swaysrs of judge and juries,
And robbers of widows sacks,
You've studied "Frenzied Finance"
Studied till you evolved
How to fleece the helpless orphan,
How to keep the client coughin',
And existence is thereby solved.
Now Pckrell is president,
And Kimball is the vice,
Our Banker is the treasurer,
Which certainly Is nice.
Our secretary is Love-
Not only IN the name,
With such officers, who wonders at the fame
OF the Whitman County Bar that can such
leaders claim !
Oh, Banker we would not banker
For your task as go-between
The lawyers fiabby purses
And bills large and unforeseen,
Nor Love. who must keep record
OF doings dark, nor shirk,
While Pick, the slick to turn a trick,
And Parker K. no lark nor Jay
Take glory shorn of the work.

We've some freaks that are not slow.

We answer. " Tis Shorty Brown"
Never lived a Judge so able
AS the one upon our bench,
His decisions jar the lawyers,
Give the Supreme Court wrench.
His orations on occasions
And his speeches win him fame,
And Of politics he understands the game,
While his poetry is neither lame nor tame

Affidavit of {. j. Stark.

Affidavit of {. j. Stark.
! Joe Stark being first duly sworn. on
oath depOses and says: That he is a res
Ident Of Pasc0. Wash and that he owns
saloon at said place, and also owns an
interest IN two saloons at PalOusp.
Wash
That never at any time did he repre-
sent 10 or make any statement to any
person or persons, that he was represent
ing X. p. kipp, the prosecuting attor-
ney OF whitman county, Wash, or in
any way represent that he was soliciting
money from the saloon men Of PalOusp
wash, or any other place, with the un-
derstandlng that said money was to be
pald to X. ii. kipp for protection to the
saloon men OF PalOuse, Wash, and that
ne never at any time had any authority
from SAID K. r. kipp to represent him
IN any such matter, and never made any
arrangements or agreements with r. II .
klpp, TO pay said r. H. Kipp any sum
OF money whatever for protection TO
himself or anyone else. That by reason
OF the TACT OF his being interested in two
saloons at PalOuse, Wash, he is more
seriously injured financially than anv Of
the other saloon men at said place. and
that the loss Of the usual Sunday trade
ls greater to him than to anv of the
others.
That during the month Of MAY, 1907.
be was informed that complaints were
beng made with reference to the manner
IN which the saloons of PalOuse, Wash.
were being conducted, and that prose-
cutlons Tor gambling. selling to minors
and keeping open on Sunday would prob
ably develop, and that he then proposed
to other saloon men of PalOuse. that
they get together and form pool each
saloon to put in so much money per
month, or per quarter, and that said
money was to be used either to defend
whenever one was prosecuted or to nav
the fine Of any Of them convicted Of anv
crime connected with the saloon bUsi-
ness at PalOuse, Wash, and in that wav
II any one or more were arrested the
others would stand their proportion of
the expense or fine, so that the whole
expense OF a prosecution might not fall
on one, but that each of the Others
would stand an equal part, and that
this fund was to be used for the general
interests OF The saloons OF PalOusr, and
not to be paid out to any particular per.
son; that he did not have the OppOrtu-
nifty OF presenting the matter to only q
part Of the saloon men of Palouse, and
that the matter as to whether or not
they would raise said fund for those pur,
poses had not, and has not been fully
discussed or decided; that this was the
only talk he had with the other saloon
men concerning the matter and is ae
nearly the correct conversation had as
he can now recall

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
Prosecuting Attorney R. H. Kipp
Charged With Graft.
Is 1t Result of Trouble Between Sa-
loon Keepers or Attempt on
Their Part to BulIdoze Him?

There seems to be tempest in a tea
pot IN the attempt to involve PrOsecut-
ing Attorney Kipp with graft in re the
Sunday closing Of saloons at PalOuse.
As matter of fact, no one has made a
direct charge that Mr.. kipp has been
guilty Of any wrong doing, everything
being done so far by insinuation and in
nuendO. He says be does not know
whether it is the result OF trouble between
the saloon keepers Of PalOuse or an at
tempt on their part to bulldoze him into
allowing them to remain open on Sun
day. lie also expressed the opinion that
personal animUsity and vindictiveness is
responsible for the graft charges being
kept alive. Mr.. Kipp further stated that
a grand jury could not be called any too
soon to suit him; that he stood ready to
answer any and all charges that NAV be
made. In the meantime he has done all
that could be done at this time bv max
ing specific denial and presenting the
only affidavit forthcoming, and appar-
emily is not worrying about the out
come.
He further stated that complaint had
come to his office in regard to the sa-
looms in PalOuse, they being run open
and above board contrary to law; that
he told the saloon keepers of that place
that they must close or on complaints
made prosecutions would follow here
after, and sent Deputy Prosecutor Read
to see that good evidence was secured in
case they kept open. 1t is his purpose
to prosecute upon complaint of any
violation OF the Sunday closing law by
saloons in any town in the county, he
having nothing to fear and no favOrs to
ask from any one in regard to the mat
fer

Grand Jury Called.

A representative of The Gazette called
on Judge Chadwick and ask him if a
grand jury would be called and he replied
in the affirmative. The Judge further
volunteered the information that the
law made no provision for calling the
grand jury together in case of an emer-
gency, and he thought it would assemble
in the usual way and at the usual time,
probably the second Saturday in July.
However, he was in correspondence with
the attorney generals office in regard to
the matter.

~ FEW minutes before 10 the A following morning a mounted
 messenger from Runton
 House brought the following note for Duncombe:
 Rupton House. Friday Morning.
 My Dear Duncombe-Fielding has cried off the shoot today. Says he has a motor coming over for him to try from Nor wich. and his dutiful daughter remains with him. Thought would let you know in case you cared to come and look them up. Best could do for you. Ever yours sincerely, RUNTON.
 Duncombe had breakfasted alone. Pelham had asked for something to be sent up for him, and Spencer, after a cup of coffee in his room. had gone out. Duncombe did not hesitate for moment. He started at once for Runton House.
 A marvellous change had taken place in the weather since the previous day. The calm splendor of the early au- tumn seemed to have vanished. A strong north wind was blowing, and the sky was everywhere gray and threatening The fields of uncut corn were bent like the waves of the sea, and the yellow leaves came down from the trees in showers. Piled up masses of black clouds were driven across the sky. Scanty drops of rain kept falling in earnest of what was to come as soon as the wind should fail Dun combe had almost to fight his way along until, through private gate, he entered Runton park The house lay down in the valley about mile away. To reach 1t one had to cross ridge of hill covered with furze bushes and tumbled fragments of ancient rock.
 Halfway up the first ascent he passed. A figure had struggled into sight from the opposite side-the flg- ure of girl. Her skirts and cloak were being blown wildly about her. She wore a flat tam-o'-shanter hat. from under the confines of which her hair was defying the restraint of hat pins and elastic She stood there sway ing little from the violence of the wind, slim and elegant notwithstand- ing a certain intensity of gaze and bearing. Duncombe felt his heart give O quick jump as he recognized her. Then he started up the hill as fast as he could go.
 She stood perfectly still, watching him chamber up to her side. Her face showed no sign of pleasure or annoy ance at his coming. He felt at once that it was not he alone who had realized the coming of the tragedy.
 No words of conventional greeting passed between them as he clambered breathless to her side The wind had brought no color into her cheeks. There

 q am-very."
 Duncombe turned suddenly white. "What do you meany he asked. Spencer held his cigarette between his fingers and looked at 1t thought fully.
 MT. Fielding of News York" he said, ''sailed for America from Havre last Saturday. His daughter has gone to Russia with party of friends"
 Duncombe sprang from his seat. His cigarette slipped from his fingers and fell unheeded upon the carpet. 'aThen who-who are these people?" he exclaimed.
 Spencer shrugged his shoulders.
 q thought it worth while," he said, ito come over and find out"
