FOR INTERESTING FOREIGN TOUR

Pompeii and the great universities like
Heidelberg
Professor Lyman has been trying to
get a party interested in this sort of a
trip for two years but could not get
enough last year in the vicinity of Wal
la Walla to enable them to get the re-
duced rates which are made possible
where a party goes together. The trip
will consume 70 days in all.
According to the present plan the
tourists will leave on the Cunard
steamer "Pannonia." Special guioes
will accompany the party to point out
places of interest.
One interesting place which will
probably be included in the trip is a
tour Of that part of Scotland describ-
ed in SCOTS Lady Of the Lake" This
poem is a favorite of Professor Ly-
mans and he is specially fitted to
make trip through this historic coun-
try interesting to those who go with
him.

Think SOLDIER may Be
MAKER OF SPURIOUS COIN

Considerable excitement has been
stirred up over the rumor that a cOun-
terfeting establishment has been added
to the industries of Walla Walla.
Although this concern is reported to
have been running for some time it
has not asked the assistance of the
Commercial club in getting it's product
upon the market but has been operat-
ing very quietly. Considerable spurious
coin has been detected in circulation III
the city and the case was placed in
the hands of government detectives.
1t is now thought that Harry C. Will
liams a Fort Walla Walla soldier may
be the guilty man. Although he had
only three months left to serve he de-
serted recently at about the same time
as the secret service officers of the
government arrived.

KIDNAPPING IS CHARGED
AGAINST BUTTE MAN

BUTTE, Mch. 25.-John Stetson is
under arrest in the city Jail and a
charge of investigation is against his
name. The report is that the charge
to be placed against him as soon as the
matter can be clearly proven, may be
kidnapping. The story is that the little
7-year-old daughter of Mrs. T. P.
O'Malley was playing near her home,
210 Dakota street, when StetsOn came
along and, catching up the little one
started off with him. Other children
told the mother of the occurrence and
the first man she met to tell of the
danger of the little one was Hugh
Dunn, a young barber. Dunn is a small
man, but he has lots of courage and he
followed StetsOn. who went west on
Mercury street Dunn followed hard On
the track of his man across MisSOula
gulch, and when Setson saw him he
gulch, and when StetsOn saw him he
and started to run. Dunn Overhauled
him and forced the man to allow the
little one her freedom and he brought
her back to her mother. Later Officers
ShOvlin and Ed O'DOnnell were notified
Of the matter and they took up the
trail Of the culprit, arresting him in
the Thistle saloon, corner of Mercury
and Montana. There We're talks of
lynching Stetson when the nature of
his alleged offense was learned, but
the prompt action of the officers in get
ting the man to the city Jail frustrated
all prospective attempts of violence
and now he is being held while thor
ough investigation of his conduct is
being made.

ANDREW FAlRGREAvES
IS 4 REAL LUCKY man

BUTTE, Mont, Mich. 25.-Andrew
Fairgreaves is a free man once more,
he having been discharged from the
custody of the sheriff in accordance
with the mandate of the supreme court.
He is a lucky man and the good work
of his attorneys has saved him from a
14-year sentence in the penitentiary.
He was accused of assaulting his
sweetheart, Annie Rhodey, by throw
a waitress and at the time of the as
sault she was working in a South Butte
restaurant. Fairgreaves called her to
the door and dashed the corrosive in
her face. At the trial he attempted to
blacken her character and prejudiced
the case against him. He was found
guilty and sentenced by Judge Michael
Donlan to IA years in the penitentiary.
His attorneys took the matter to the
supreme court, alleging that he had
been convicted of a misdemeanOr and
sentenced on a felony. This same view
was taken by the supreme court. Ha-
beas corpus proceedings were brought
to get him out of prison, but there were
complications and barriers brought
about by irregular proceedings-the
case not being brought before the
proper judge-and after being in the
supreme court two or three times the
young man was finally given his liber-

WITH BASEBALL SUITS ON THE WAY

The Butte manager has not yet de-

Suits have been ordered for all the
amateur teams representing firms
which are in the city league. AS soon
as they come it is the intention to
start the season with double header.
Just which four firms will have the
honor of starting the ball rolling has
not yet been determined; this will de-
pend on which suits arrive first.
Paraphernalia has been ordered by
each team from different places in
many cases and the quartette of teams
whose equipment first arrives will
start the season. There is keen riv-
airy among the different teams to see
which will get the prettiest suits and
some elegant creations in the uniform
line may be expected.
A meeting Of the officials Of the city
league will be held tomorrow evening
at which a schedule of the games for
the season will probably be- arranged.
The firm teams will play evenings and
also on Sundays when there is no game
scheduled for the Walla Walla team
Or it is playing away from home.

standing Indebtedness with the excep-
ton of Swindler's claim, which was
