EX-EDITOR BUYS CATTLE

Wilford Allen, former publisher OF
the Pullman Herald, Is engaging ex-
tensively in the cattle business. Mr..
Allen has gone to his ranch on the
Grand Ronde river, 80 miles above
Asotin, this week, with so head of
stock cattle, which will be added to
his herd of more than 200 head
which he has on the ranch there.
These cattle were bought in the vi
cinity of Pullman and are mostly
yearlings and two-year-olds. Mr.. Al
len also has a large bunch bought
for June delivery. In speaking of the
livestock situation Mr.. Allen said:
There is a larger acreage Of
spring grain being planted than ever
before and consequently there Is less
pasture in the fields. Farmers are
to dispose of their stock
for want of pasture and stock cat
tie can be bought at reasonable
prices. The outlook on the range is
good. Pasture is fine and cattle are
already in good condition"

rule, quite low and the regents are
getting some good values from the
contractors. But few of the con-
tracts have been let. The contract

ium was let to two firms. A. H. An
drews, of Tacoma, got the contract
for the lower floor chairs at $3.75

$13,990 and L. Dysart, Pullman, bid

is Hunted
Burl Haggard, Printer, Being Sought
\ By the Officers.

Burl Haggard, alias Harry La
velle, an ex-convict who has been
employed in the Tribune Office for
some time, is again a fugitive from
justice with officers from Lewiston,
Idaho, searching for him. Haggard
escaped capture here Sunday by a
narrow margiES deputy sheriff from
Lewiston coming up here after him
but Haggard, who had gone squirrel
shooting, was warned of the officers
arrival before he returned to Pull
man and remained in hiding until
after the officer left town when he
returned, secured his clothes and left,
saying he had job in Palouse and
was going to work there. Haggard
is natural criminal. He has serv-
ed time in Oregon and Washington
and is wanted at a half a dozen
places in Oregon for old crimes COM
mitted there before he was sent to
the penitentiary at WaIla Walla for
embezzlement committed in Pullman
more than four years ago.
Haggard will be remembered bv
many Pullman people as a waiter
who worked in the Artesian hotel
for l.. H. Soliday, four years ago
After Mr.. Soliday took charge of the
Palace hotel he placed Haggard in
charge of the Artesian, but EIag-
gard could not resist the temptation
TO steal and took a lot of his EN-
ployer's money, stole a grip and
other property from a patron of the
house, and fed. He was captured at
Spokane and taken to Colfax where
he spent some time in Jail, and then
offered to plead guilty to the charge
of embez1lement. He was sentenced
to serve five years in the penitentiary
at Walla Walla. He was a model
prisoner and got full allowance for
good behavior so that his actual time
served was less thar four years.
While working at the Actesian
hotel Haggard, who has always got
on well with women, made an JIM
preston on the wife of a farmer
living near town who supplied the
hotel with butter. The woman fell
desperately in love with the ex-con-
vict, (for such he was at that time,
having served time in the Oregon
prison before coming here) and when
he was arrested she visited him at
Colfax, taking her two children with
her into the reception room of the
Jail, where Haggard was brought out
to meet her. She threw her arms
about his neck, kissed him and cal
led him darling" ana other endear-
ing names, in the presence of her
children. After Haggard had been
sent TO the penitertiary he CORES
ponded with this woman, who, while
she was still living with her hus-
band, was called my wife" by Hag-
gard in the messages he sent to her
1t is said this woman sent him money
for luxuries while in the peniten-
tiary. The family left Pullman some
time ago and 1t is said that the wo-
man and her husband have been di-
vorced.
