BENNINGTON
MUST APPEAR

Summons to appear in the superior
court within 20 days was filed with the
county clerk this morning against j..
NJ. Bennington of RitZville. and he is
cited to explain why two notes calling
for $4,000 have not been paid to the
Baker Boyer National bank. The COM
plaint states that no part of this sum
has been paid and if not done so within
the required time a default judgment
will be rendered.
The bank asserts that ON last March
the defendant, Bennington, present.
ed to that institution a note calling for
$4,000, purporting to be made by w. l..
Reeder and L. H. Burkhart, in favor
of Bennington. Another as presented
this same day purported to be signed
by c.. s. Jones and A. w. Hunt, also
made in favor of the defendant. The
sum of $500 is also asked of the court
as reasonable attorneys fees.
Bennington is now imprisoned in
Spokane answering the charge OF forg-
cry and it is not probable that he Will

STORE IS ENTERED
FOR SMALL THEFT

Taking about S. from the cash till
and also a bulls eye lantern from the
stock of goods ON hand, the sporting
goods store of W. H. Meyer was en-
tered through the rear windows. NO
clue to the robbers can be learned but
evidence shows that it was committed
by experienced men.
When the store was opened this
morning, it was noticed thatfone of the
rear windows was ajar and investiga-
ton revealed the fact that the heavy
shutter had been pried open leaving
sufficient space for person 10
force his way through. Marks on the
casing showed that a Jimmy had
been used in this work and this is
taken by the police to mean that only
a person used to such things COM
mitted the theft. Although quite a
large stock of goods was on hand,
nothing was taken except an electric
lantern and it is supposed that the
thief became frightened at some sound
and made hasty escape.
The authorities are working on the
case.

LADS LANDED
IN CITY JAIL

Joe Frey, Sam Cash and Elmer Curl
thought to have been the lads who
looted the store at Meador Park, Oc-
tober 13, are occupying a cell in the
city Jail, awaiting an investigation
which is to be made by the officers this
afternoon. The boys range in age from
16 to IS years, Frey and Curl being
Walla Walla youngsters, and Cash be-
ing a recent arrival from Minneapolis.
Patrolman Tom Doyle took the trio
into custody this morning on infornla-
ton given him by Charles Keene, pro-
prietor of the looted store. Mr.. Keene
pointed the boys out to the officer as
very much resembling those who
turned the trick at the park. and as
soon as residents near the park, who
talked to the youngsters on the day
of the burglary. can be brought to the
city to identify them, it is probable
a charge will be placed against them.
According to Mr.. KeenR the store
was entered, and about IS worth or
confections, gum and other delicacies
taken. Supplies were scattered about
the park, and if the lads in jail are
found to have committed the deed. they
will be formally booked and charged
