Ms. Herbert c. Gregg has a letter
from her daughter Helen, which gives
glowing description of the Seattle
Kirmess. The Spanish dancers won
second place in the contest and were
close seconds indeed, to the winners,

Waila Walla talent was well rep
resented at the big entertainment as
Miss Edna Keylor of this city served
punch each evening and Miss Gregg
and Miss Lelah Coyle were invited to
give the Highland fling speciality in
the Scotch dance, which they did
beautifully.
Miss Verna Abbott, Miss Hattie
Slime, Miss Marion Paxton and Miss
Frances Paine called on, Miss Stewart
the last evening of the Kirmess and
Miss Stewart was kind enough to say
that old memories made her homesick
that she liked Walla Walla and was
anxious to return.

o'clock. Mrs Rowan and the little

not fear walking thru Eastwood Park,
where they reside, but evidently were
followed by man, who concluded
that they would be alone in the
house. Mrs. Rowan turned on the
electric light on the porch and just
stepped into the reception hall, when
she heard man walking on the
porch. Looking thru the window
she saw him peering after her thru
his ugly eyes, and called to her hus-
band who was lying down on the
couch, in his clothes and slippers.
Mr.. Rowan rushed to the front door,

was attempting to open the door. Joe
never gave any exhibitions in the
ring, but had he done SO, we feel sure

of Mouse river, and which has been
used by Everybodys Meat market in

covered with three inches of manure,

Sawyer Farmer Blows
Out Brains
Anton Christensen Grows Despondent Because Wife is in
Asylum and Children Scattered and Ends
Life in the Presence Of Sixteen
Year Old Son

Anton c. christensen, a farmer
residing eleven miles southwest of
Sawyer, committed suicide at one
o'clock Wednesday morning by
shooting out his brains with a shot
gun. The man was demented, his
condition being brot about by wor-
ny over the fact that his wife has
been an inmate of the insane asy-
lum at Fergus Falls, Mimi, for the
past five years, du:ing which time,
his four youngest children, have
been living with relatives at Buffalo,
N. D.
Christensen went to visit his
wife last winter, and he reported
that she was improving, and that ne
hoped tc bring her home soon, when
the once happy family could be unit
ed. He had made arrangements to
pay his relatives 5000 a year for
keeping each of his children and as
they had been with relatives four
years, they demanded $4,000 before
they would give up the children. He
was unable to raise this sum, and
talked Of selling his farm. The wor-
ry is thought to have made him in
sane. The neighbors noticed that
The had not been right for sometime,
and he was closely watched. The
night that he committed the deed,
he was alone with his sixteen year
