Seattle-Only the sagacity of two
faithful dogs, last week, stood be-
tween Mrs. Matilda Johnson and the
death she courted.
Desperately they tugged at the
struggling woman, barking for as
sistance in the meantime until help
arrived. Mr. Cushman dragged the
woman from the water Later she
again waded out into the lake and
again Cushman rescued her.
Mrs Johnson's husband cannot
give any reason why the woman at
tempted suicide, except that she may
have been temporarily unbalanced
mentally. Mrs. Johnson denies that
he did try to kill herself. Her eX-
PLANTATION is that her dog, Bruno,
jumped into the lake and she went
in after him.

NEWS OF THE STATE


Walla Walla-J. A. Mcintyre. ona
OF gang of alleged horse thieves
operating about the Snake and Col
umbia rivers, has been convicted in
superior court on the evidence Of
Paul Kruger, a member of the gang.
who turned states evidence and
confessed that he and the other
members stole horses by the carload
and shipped them to Chicago, where
they were sold for a good price. The
money derived from the sale was
divided among the gang.
Three accomplices, John Tyke and
two sons, are now on trial in the
superior court.
The defense tried to show that
Kruger employed the others and that
they did not know that the horses
were stolen. The gang has operated
for years in the sand belt along the
Snake and Columbia rivers and
thousands of dollars worth of horses
have been stolen from ranchers all
over the country. The gang made
frequent trips into the farming dis
tricts and after rounding up a band
OF horses would drive them to the
Columbia and ship them across the
river into the Horse Heaven coun-
try. The officers finally obtained a
clue that resulted in the arrest of the
five men.

proximately 100000 acres of the

from Lewis County, similar to that
brought against the Oregon & Cali

COLLEGE SPIRIT.

The spirit shown at the meet was
the poorest ever. When W.S.C. men
most needed encouragement there was
not sound. The webfooters noticed
this and passed comment.
Oregon has some hard luck, but SO
did W.S.C. Zacharias of Oregon
failed to take a place in the hammer,
though he has a record better than
Halm's. Moullen lost the pole vault
by hard luck. He cleared the bar sew
eral feet only to knock it off with his
hands. The poles were so slippery that
it was almost impossible to grasp
them.
W.S.C. should have had a place in
the two dashes, but a week in Spokane
with the baseball team and cadets put
Meyers to the bad and he was unable
to show his class.
