of the warnings of the committee, that

of its parlors and dining hall for the

Elk Minstrels, took place on Alder
street shortly after l o'clock today,
when two dozen chickens, brought to
market by a Walla Walla valley poul-
tryman. made their getaway from the
Alder street market, and wendell their
way up the paved boulevard. The
owner of the fowls, noticing their ac-
ton, went in pursuit, and after much
difficulty (due to automobiles scat
tering the feathered ones) finally
rounded the Sunday dinners into a
rear enclosure of the market from
which they escaped. Pedestrians de-
rived much amusement from the novel
