be held this year from October II to
II, inclusive, at present promises to
be one of the largest and most sue
cessful ever known in the history of
the organization. Although Walla
Walla's past record for excellent
fairs would be hard to beat, the
fair this. fall will be the largest,
grandest and best that the associa-
ton has ever known, and for the
past three or four months officials
interested have devoted practically
their entire attention to the work OF
outdoing all previous records with
the fair of 1909.
With excellent crops, both fruit
and grain, in this section of the In
land Empire, with unusually large
and attractive purses and awards
offered as premiums, and with an
e lthusiasm on the part of the pee
pie throughout this section of the
Northwest that far exceeds any :
thing Of the kind heretofore known,
officials of the association feel highly
gratified over the outlook.

SAYS HUSBAND
IS A BIGAMIST
CONTINUED from Page One,

AC0nttnued from rage Onoj
and Mrs Baker had gone to Yuma
Ariz., and are said to have been mar
ried by a justice of the peace. When
the wife returned here they were living
together in Long Beach as husband
and wife.
Mrs. Neibel then began divorce pro-
ceedings on her own part, and secured
a decree from hef husband. Immedi-
ately after this, and before the expira-
tion of the year under the interlocu-
tory law, Neibel and Mrs. Baker, 1t is
said, visited Riverside and were again
married.
Disappear from View
They then disappeared and trace of
them was lost. A warrant was secured
for the arrest of Neibel by Mrs. Neibel
and placed in the hands of Sheriff
Hammel for service.
Before disappearing from this sec
tion of the country Neibel had seques-
tered a lot of personal property which
Mrs. Chalma Neibel claimed as hers.
In order to recover it she recently be-
gan proceedings in Long Beach, and
served notice on her husband by pub
lication.
To defend this suit Neibel appeared
in Long Beach yesterday, coming from
little mining camp in Arizona. AS
soon as his presence within the juris-
diction OF Sheriff Hammel was learned
that officer requested Chief of Police
Williams to arrest him, and shortly
after the replevin suit was decided in
favor of the plaintiff the old warrant
was served. and in default of bonds
Neibel was placed in the county jail.
He will be presented in court Mon
day for arraignment w the criminal
charge, and it is expected he will make
a determined fight against the charge
which his wife preferred against him
nearly q year ago.
