Sandy Parker Mud Bay Indian more than 100
years old, was buried at Olympia Monday.
He died Saturday, but the Indians, mindful
of an experience six years ago, refused to bury
him as promptly as is their wont. On the former
occasion he was apparently just as dead as he was
Saturday, and the high functionaries of the tribe
engaged in one of the most elaborate funeral pro-
grams known to the tribe. In the midst of the
rites the corpse rose up and inquired what it
was all about Hence it was that the chief re-
marked We'll take no chances this time'' when
Sandy died Saturday.

The local option petition which has been circu-
lated ,in the county unit and which was filed with
the county auditor calling for an election on the
local option law Sept. was declared void in the
superior court Wednesday.
The local option petition bore 1897 Names Of
this number 228 names were declared Illegal for
the reason that they did not comply with the pro-
visions of the law in giving postofice address and
precinct This left the petition IA names short of
the required number to call an election, and there
will be no county election Sept. T.
Judge Carey who heard the case, stated that
those who had handled the petition had done so in
a very careless manner and without seeming re-

not do This disregard of the laws provisions was
even carried into the preparation of the petitions,
and is the cause of the petition being declared
void
A. E. Veatch formerly an owner of the Colville
brewery, had charge of the petition, and was
assisted in his fight for the manufacturing liquor
interests by Attorney Boyd P. Doty of Seattle
Attorneys Jesseph & Grinstead of Colville were
attorneys for the plaintiff, BAIL Brown of Valley,
who had asked that the petition be declared illegal.
A number of persons heard the case in court,
which started on Tuesday.

The livestock parade at the Spokane Interstate
