A
WORSE ONE
Anxiety Of Accused Man to
Conceal Truth Regarding
Marriages Arouses
Much Suspicion.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-The
anxiety of Christian Johnson to con-
ceal the truth regarding some of his
bigamous marriages, while he freely
confesses to others, has led the police
today to start an investigation of the
theory that the prisoner is attempting
to conceal some crime more serious
than bigamy.
When arrested he talked freely about
Mrs. Leopold of San Francisco and
Mrs. Tretheway of Stockton, but de-
MED that he had others. Finally he
acknowledged Mrs. Sylvia Pollard of
De Bennett as his wife.
The prisoner is anxious to be tried
for the bigamy charged against him
by Mrs. Tretheway. The police intend
to hold him in Jail until they leA n
whether he is involved in a more Sc
rious crime.
The police call him lone of the clev-
crest criminals ever arrested and a
superb liar" Letters referring to Mrs.
Ida Mitchell of Ingleside, Cal, and
Mrs. Tretheway as: my dear little
wife," each ending with your own
husband" were made public today by
the police.

WINS CASE
May Collect Garbage From
Any Part of the City
City Ordinance Thus
Declared Void.

In the superior court yesterday af-
ternoon, Judge Brents sustained the
demurrer of Gee Sing, the Chinaman
arrested some three weeks ago for
gathering and hauling through the
streets garbage from the outside dis
tricts. without License. The case had
been appealed from Justice McKin-
ney's court, who also sustained the
demurrer Under the decision any one
may collect garbage and the ordinance
prohibiting it's prom:scious collection
is void
Two years ago the city of Walla
Walla owned iS own garbage wagons
and had no city ordinance controlling
the gathering of refuse about the city.
At that time the various truck gard
Ieners made a practice of visiting GER
tain districts at regular intervals, un-
I til the garbage cans, in their opinion,
did not contain richness enough for
! lHclT use, WHeI tiicy WOuiu AoohUOAA
them for some other district without
notifying the regular city garbage man
and the result was a filthy condition
Of that location and complaint from
the property owners that the city was
not doing it's duty
s. In order to systematic the matter
the CITY passed an ordinance creating
a regular man to handle the refuse
/. of the city in all but the down town
business district and advertised for
bids. Frank Hogue secured the con-
tract last year at $1,000, he to have
the exclusive right to gather garbage
and haul it through the streets of the
city. Later Mr.. Hogue found that his
contract did not give him the right
| to dispose of this garbage for his own
profit, but went ahead and fulfilled the
contract anyhow. This year the con-
tract was let to the same party al

More Surprises.

1t would have taken a rapid-fire
mathematician to have kept in touch
with Attorneys BlandfOrd and RAIDER
this morning as they cited their sta
t.stics to prove the signatures of
many qualified voters to be illegal, but
as attorneys for DR.. Fales did not dis
put the figures given, the court acted
upon the agreed facts, and announced
the issuance of the injunction to keep
DR.. Fales' names from the ticket, al
though the judge announced he could
not be prevented from using stickers.
One of the contentious OF the at
torneys for Dr. E. E. Shaw, who in
stituted injunction proceedings yes
terday morning, was that the certifi
cate had been tampered with after it
had been withdrawn from the clerks
office, and the addresses and occupa-
tions of many of the signers inserted.
The attorneys endeavored to show the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Information About Opening

Ever since it has been announced
that the government intended throw

Spokane and Kalispel, Montana, this

regarding how to make application,

False Work Washed AWav

Last year the progressive people of
kamiah organized a company for the
purpose Of building bridge across the
Clearwater at that town, thus opening
up latge scope of country tributary
to kamiah. The stock was subscribed
by local men and considerable loss
and delay has been occasioned since
then by the washing out of the false
work by high waters. Last week the
work was again torn out and the fol
lowing item from the Progress Of that
place gives some idea of the troubles
they have been having:
Yesterday a large part of the false
work to the bridge Went out for the
second time. But one car of the steel
has arrived though they are not sure
whether it belongs to this bridge OF
somewhere else and it is reported that
the remainder Of the steel is in wreck
If this bridge building has not proved
eXasperating we don't know what We
are talking about, 1t seems that i
the contractors were on to their lot
they would have ordered their materia
in sufficient time to have had it here
without such an extraordinary lon.
delay as we have had since the bridg,
was to have been completed. Now i
is possible that as high as the river is
it will mean another two months de
lay before the false work can be pu
i'll and it is sincerely to be hoped thu
steel will have arrived by that time 81
the bridge can be completed and w
will not be dependent upon the ferrie
any longer as a means of transporta
ton. There is one sure thing whel
the bridge is completed it will be ;
good one, because if the piers are abb
to withstand what they have during
the high water this year, they surel,
will stand it all when they have
clear channel.
