tions were on the verge of fighting
Quiet was restored with difficulty. The
speaker refused the floor to any men,
ber desiring to address the house in
connection with Grayson's attempted
motion.

HORSE
FOUND

Found tied to tree in thick grove
on the Blalock Fruit farm, the horse
belonging to c. U. Foster which was
taken from the hitching rack at the
tober 9, was discovered yesterday af-
ternoon by some employees of that
place, who accidentally stumbled upon
the missing animal and buggy. From
appearance of the horse, it was sur
missed that it had been there for a week
at least and from exposure and starv-
alton, it was in nearly a dying cOndi-
ton. AS soon as embarrassed and
placed in a barn, the starved creature
made a rush for the manger and act
ed like an animal possessed. 1t was
fed sparingly at first and given little
water, but owing to the excellent care
which was taken of it, the horse will
live.
For the past ten days, the local au-
thorities have been searching for this
outfit and though several clues were
obtained none were found which threw
any light on the matter. 1t was al
most given up for lost when word was
received from the Blalock farm yester-
day stating that a horse answering the
description of the missing one had been
found. Mr.. Foster hastened there at
once and found the animal. thin from
lack of nourishment but otherwise in
good condition.
Judging from sweat marks on the
harness. it is supposed that the per-
son or persons who took the team from,
the rack gave the horse a hard drive
and then returning to this city tied ii to
the most convenient spot they couid

surrounding cities, and it is expected
nearly 10000 people will crowd the
grandstand and beachers at the race
track for the biggest game of baseball
ever played in Walla Walla. The fair
association has no interest in the

portunity for every spectator to see
eevry play in the best possible manner.
