legged threat to have him placed in. the
custody of an elisor would be carried
out.
Shortly before court was called. one
of Schmi-z' attorneys hurried to his
clients side and whispered:
"Heney has decided not to ask the
court to turn you over to the elisor."
Schmitz' face frightened and he
settled back in his chair with the air
of having been relieved of a great
load.
The proceeding lasted but II min

When the court convened the de-

The prosecution asked for time to

that during April and May Mr. Mitch

Although Assessor c. P. Strain of

he isn't a bit jealous of Walla Walla.
The jovial assessor from across the

tilla county. t 'r -s.
Mr. Miller is from Missouri and is
out looking for a suitable place to
settle in the west. His friend, Mr..
Strain, told him he should see Walla
Walla by all means before going back
home and so both are in the city today.
+ "There's no use talking" said an

Pierce county officials felt a relief
when the first four men. who were
considered among the most desperate

landed behind the bare, cold walls of
the prison. On the way to this city
several conviCts at Seattle were picked
up. and brought over with the Pierce

most scathing.
The judge said: What is known
as the assist bid method is as old as
business and was employed by these
men. 1t makes the victim believe there
is honest competition when there is
but rascally collusion. Churches and
schools of this country have been
wronged by this contemplate decep-
ton. Men who look like clean. respec-

honorable man would prefer to dig
bitches at $3.50 a day. The real Of
