The night was dark; there was no
getting around that; heavy, threaten
| ing, gray clouds hung like a pail over
the city. and even the street lights
were unable to shed their brilliancy
in the hooks and crannies that, on or
binary nights, are wont to be alumni
ated Carelessness on the part OF
someone, was the direct cause, though
indirectly it might have been caused
| bv the propensities of one travelling
| salesman from Portland for noctur-
nal wanderings.
! Anyway it happened, and the po-
lice were, given a hurry-up CALL ex-
pecting to find evidences of some foul
deed, with the villain flown to parts
unknown All was quiet, however, as
the putting bluecoats appeared upon
the scene-Walla Walla has not the
formality of a police patrol, and the
! story which was spun to the vigilantes
was in effect as follows:
Some time during the early even
| ing hours, a commercial salesman.
whose name is withheld because of
the injury suffered to the most con-
spicuous part of his trousers, was
| strolling contentedly out South First
street. putting complacently on a
choice Havana. He was happy; that
was evident He had taken nothing
stronger than cup of hotel coffee, so
was firm in his conviction that he
was not intoxicated. AS before re-
lated, he was strolling out South
! First street.
When at a point just beyond the
corner of First and Poplar streets on
| the west side of the initiatory thor
oughfare. the sidewalk flew up and
struck him terrific jolt in the ''slats"
and his pedal extremitieS seemed to
| be falling into a bOttOmless abyss,
| from which there seemed no eXtrica
| ton. 1t all took place in the wink Of
an eye, and before the knight of the
grip was able to ferret out the reason
for his sudden and pronounced fall
from grace, his Havana had been con-
signed to a grave in the bottom of a
water ditch, his late style derby was
rolling in the path Of the gentle Chi
nook, his hands and face were SOiled
with Walla Walla real estate, and that
portion of his trousers most used
when in sitting posture was some
what disfigured as the, result of con-
tact with a 6-penny wire nail.
| Ere the police arrived on the scene
| in response to a hasty phone ALARM
| the knight of the grip had managed
to discover the reason for it all, and
was putting, expostulating, threaten

the city. He straightway informed the
officers that no less than $4,000 would
serve to alleviate his distressed con-
dition, and enphatically stated that
suit would be started as soon as the
| lawyers woke up this morning On
| being told that the city council was
in session and that he might there
