STARTED OUT
TO GET RICH

Starting out to make a fortune for
themselves and get rich, also to have
a little adventure, the two boys OF
Sanford E. Hulse. of this city, and the
two sons of T. J. Johnson, of Col
lege Place, yesterday left their homes
and started out towards Wallula, that
tabled land of riches and wild adven-
ture. All are between eight and II
years of age.
Their absence was noted and Dep
uty Sheriff John Cummings was sent
out after The little fellows. He found
them at Touchet and brought them
back to this city, where they were
turned over to their parents.
The lads had no grievance against
against their homes but they wanted
to get rich and started out on their
own responsibility to do so. That
their parents. and the officers inter-
fered is all that prevented them from
fulfilling their rosy dreams, is their
frs conviction.

 The arrest was made at o'clock. Schlenker was immediately taken be- fore Judge Hon. Colonel Oglesby, counsel for Schlenker, w3rHed any right for bail and demanded an imme- diate trial.
 Prosecuting Attorney Mcdonald in formed the court that the State was l1oe iSetot dlli OCSil GU Cllllt III which to prepare his reasons for ask ing for a continuance. Judge Hon gave him until tomorrow morning, to the chagrin of Colonel Oglesby, who said his client was entitled to an inn mediate trial. Judge Hon said he would hear an application for bail, but Colonel Oglesby declared that his client did not desire bail, but a prompt trial. and if he could not be accorded such trial he would go to jail and await the action of the court
 Colonel Oglesby reasoned that if his client gave bail the prosecuting attor- ney would be given an opportunity to secure a continuance to suit his con- venience. Schlenker was then con- mitted to jail.
 Judge Hon says if the prosecuting attorney does make a proper showing tomorrow morning he will take up the trial of the case
