GRAND JURORS
ARE INDICTED
Former Governor TeStfieS
Against Borah

BOISE, Oct. Attorney S III. Rush
for the prosecution announced this
morning that the government would
close its case against Borah within
an hour ar er the noon adjournment.
The indictments returned by the spe-
cial grand jury are against two of the
men on the old grand jury who made
affidavits alleging Ruicks misconduct.
Former Governor J. II. Morrison
was called to the stand this morning
in the Borah trial for the purpose of
connecting Borah with the alleged
frauds. He told of two visits paid by
Borah to the executive offices to find
out what lands in township CA the
state would file on. The witness said
the senator asked him if it was nee as-
sary that the state should file there
and demurred at the amount of land
the state was taking. Deeds filed by
Borah with the recorder were admit
ted in evidence.
Attorneys for Borah expect the case
to be taken out of the jury's hands by
Judge Wilson when the prosecution
rests and that Borah will be released.

LARGE SQUAC :
FOR WH|lI6,.<,*<< :
MANY CANDIDATES FOR PLACES
ON CHAMPIONSHIP FOOT
BALL TEAM.

Every night the football prospects
at the college are frightening Cap
tain Dimmick was out in his suit last
night, and although he did not get into
the scrimmage, he did more than a mile
on the track TO keep his wind up.
When the comes come on, Dim" will
be in every one of them.
Another cause for rejoicing in foot
ball circles in the return of Lyman and
Mathews. Lyman has played a star
game at end and defensive quarterback
, for three years and his presence is an
addition to the team which is worthy
of note. Mathews is also a valuable
man, his game at guard last year was
steady and consistent and few gains
were made on his side of center.
Peringer viii be back in a short time
and will swell the average weight of
the team. Another new man is also
expected inside of week who weIgn-
100 pounds. He has written his de-
sire to come and will probably be here
the latter part Of this week.
The game scheduled between Whit
man and Pendleton High School has
been called off, as the Oregon boys
feel they are not heavy enough to buck
up against the big Missionary team.
The next game the college boys have
viii be with Spokane high school.
This will be the only practice game
Whitman has before she runs up
against the college teams. All the
games here will be played on Friday
this year, in order to give down town
people better chance to see them. The
two teams at the college will probably
line up against each other Saturday
afternoon for d little practice game.
Last night nearly three teams We're
out, more than has been out at night
yet and the coach and captain feel
highly encouraged over the outloun.
The game which failed the college
will be replaced Friday afternoon by
one between the high school and Wes-
ton Normal school. These two teams
are nearly equal in all respects ana {.
close, hard game should result

YOUNG MAN GETS CONFIDENCE
OF DOCTORS AND is NOW
WANTED.

What is considered one of the
smoOthest games of graft known to
the local police officials, was recently
disclosed to Sheriff Haviland by two
Walla Walla physicians who were
neatly caught by the grafter's silken
net, and pulled in" for $40 each.
o. p. Leede, a very gentlemanly ap-
pearing young man, arrived in the
city about "a week ago, and after test-
ing tfe 'E. H. pulse of the always
willing to- be- -buncoed public, began
his game. Mr. Leede, within the course
of "A hours, was known to nearly
every Walla Walla physician, as special
agent for the Conservative Life In
surance company. 1t was his duty to
medical examination, and his, so it is
understood, he did. After game of
-four flushing" which lasted several
days, Mr.. Leede gently broke the news
that he was financially embarrassed.
His financial condition, he said, was
due merely to an oversight of the COM
pany, and a check would undoubtedly
arrive within a few days. Without a
moments hesitation, his friends, the
physicians, offered to come to his re-
lief. Two drafts on the company were
cashed-and Leede suddenly disap-
peared.
Two days following Leeds depart
ure. word reached the city from the
company's western agent, that Leede
was an impostor, and had nothing to
do with the cOmpany's affairs The
agent further stated that the Conserv-
ative Insurance company had never
transacted business in the state Of
Washington. and that Leede, while at
one time an employe of the company.
had beer discharged several months
ago.
The embeZZler's description was i'm
msdiately given Sheriff Haviland and
a search for the man was taken up.
This office has been unable to To-
cate Leede thus far" said Sheriff Hav-
iland today. 1T is my belief that he
is working his way back east, where,
