the axes down upon each other

headpiece and struck him on the
shoulder. Lancelot's ak fell short
and struck Mortimer a glancing
blow on his mailed chest. Both of
the men staggered under the force
of the impact.

Stories for Little
Ones.
THE LOST CORN.

An old hen once had a little
chicken who was very naughty.
One day the hen had laid aside
a few very choice grains of corn.
She had had large dinner, and
thought she would eat these later.
When she came for them in the
afternoon they were nowhere to be
found. She questioned her little
chick, but he answered:
mo, mother, l have not eaten
your corn
The old hen reflected a moment.
81 believe you," she said. "Those
grains were too large for you to
eat. Where can they be-"
The naughty little chick did not
tell her that when she had been
busy scratching in the garden he
had buried the kernels quite deep
in the ground.
Time flew on, and nothing more
was said about the corn. The next
spring, however, number of
strong corn plans grew up near
the coop where the naughty chick
had buried the kernels.
The mother then realized what
had become of her corn. She
scolded her little chick severely
Her little son looked up at hel
pathetically and said:

Green, Black and DuWamish rivers
rising hourly and threatening to in

TRIAL is
ON TODAY

Testimony is being taken in the dis
barment proceedings against Attorney
John c. HurspOOl, accused of unprO-
fessional conduct instituted at the in
stigatiOn of Attorney Richard Orms-
bee of Waitsburg. in Judge Brents
chambers today and numerous lawyers
of the city are present taking active
part in the investigation. The defend
ant is represented by the law firms of
Reynolds & Bond, Gose & Gose and
Cain & HurspOOl. Mr.. Ormsbee is
conducting his case unaided.
Because he did not wish to take is
sue in this matter, Judge Brents Sc
cured the services of Judge Mitchell
Gillian of Seattle, and the latter is to-
day hearing the evidence. For the pur-
pos of aiding the court in every pos
sible way from a nOn-partisan stand
point and also to see that both sides
are allowed absolute fairness, COM
mittee appointed from the bar asso-
citation, consisting of Attorneys john
Sharpstein, E. H. Barker and Ed Mills
is also present.
Owing to the fact that the lawyers
for the defense were not prepared to
go TO Irldl at III y CII'Ch-lIie otIPuio'I~O' -
time-this morning, the bearing was
postponed until an hour later When
Attorney OrmSbee took the stand III
his own behalf. When the court ad-
iourned for the noon session, the va
rious parties interested in this case
proceeded to the home of Attorney
Hurspool, who from illness was un-
able to appear in court. His testl-
mony was taken there.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff that
while acting as adviser in the case OF
r. M. Horner against the WaitsburS
academy, his opponent, Mr.. HurspoQl
took unfair advantage of his opposing
attorney.
Hearing in the case was postponed
at O'Clock this afternoon until TO-
morrow morning.

Creating the first organization of
women that has yet been made in the

ering of the fair sex was present in
the Central Christian church yesterday
afternoon and formulated plans where
by they are to take an active part in
the fight. The league, which will
henceforth be called the "No-saloon

and general plans formulated. The
city was divided into sections and
committees appointed giving to each a
certain section to work and explain
to every female resident, the advan-
tages that accrue to dry" town.
Rev. C. A Gummere of the United
Brethren church addressed the meet
ing yesterday.

the ranks of both factions in the fight
against the saloons that now divides

That Waa Wala is soon to be on
the transcontinentaI line of the Chica-
90 Northwestern railroad is assured by
dispatches from Chicago to the effect
that S3OOOOO00 bond issue is to fur
nish funos for starting extension work
westward from Lander, Wyoming, the
present terminus of the road. The
more plausible route of the road is
from Lander through the Blue noun
tains to this city an dthence to At
talia to connect with the North Coast,
which is said to be a branch cf the
eastern company. From Alfalfa the
lines will extend to Spokane, Seattle
and Portland, much of the survey work
on the North Coast having already
been completed.
Students of railroad activity in
W2Ia WaI!a now feel confident that
the Garden city will be placed on a

and that the problem as to the identi-
t Of North Coast hackers has been
solved by the announcement of pro-
posed routes of the Chicago & North

Washington, Orogo.. and Idaho.

LA GRANDE, Nov. 29.-The pro-

depositors of the defunct Farmers and
Traders bank becomes a reality by or

makes an aggregate of 55 per cent.
The present check issue will reach the

If it loses the total will be less than
that.
