ELOPING COUPLE LIVING IN TENT
FALL INTO HANDS OF THE LAW
Runaways From Portland Taken Un-
der Canvas on Banks of
Moses Lake.

WILSON CREEK, May 22.-About
two weeks ago a man and maid pitch
ed a tent on the north end of Moses
lake and settled down to the prosaic
duties of bookkeeping. Little attention
was paid the new arrivals by the set
tiers in that district, as it is nothing
unusual for homesteaders to live in a
tent until they can build a house, and
the couple did not court attention. They
seemed quite content to live their lives
together amidst the aromatic sage
brush, with the blue waters of the
lake sparkling in front of Their canvas
dwelling.
Monday morning officer MacLane of
the Portland auxiliary police force got
off the train and hunted up Constable
Armstrong. MacLane had warrants for
the arrest of a couple who had eloped
from Portland some three weeks ago,
and through admissions by brother of
the man in the case knew where to To-

appeared before Police Judge Palmer
of this city, to be married. The nup-
tial knot was tied, and the newly we'd
ded couple went on their way rejoicing.
Monday morning, officer MacLane, of
Portland, alighted from the train at
Wilson Creek and made inquiries re-
garding the couple. They had clipped
from Portland about three weeks ago.
Armed with a warrant for their ar
rest, officer MacLane, in company with
Constable Armstrong, after driving
35 miles, found them in their canvas
home, brought them to Ephrata and
started with them to Portland, where
the girls mother is anxiously waiting
to apply the law.

All attending the shoot expressed
themselves as well-pleased over the
outcome of the event and are loud in
their praise of the treatment received
at the hands of the Walla Wallans.
Those who are foremost in the club
have agreed to raise $500 to bring the
shoot to this city next year and it is
very probable that the next meeting
place will be in this city. The various
visitors are leaving Walla Walla today

once started for Moses lake and after
drive of 35 miles arrived at the
tent A display of the warrants soon
convinced the clipping couple of the
futility of denial or resistance, and
they agreed to accompany the officer
back to Portland without trouble. The
party drove to Ephrata and took the
train from that point.

in a tumble at third, when the Idaho
man attempted to block ALT Belt run

score, thus annexing another victory
to the Missionaries list by the score
of to T. Both teams were in the
game from the first inning, and gilt
edge ball was the rule and not the
exception. Only nine errors were
chalked up to both teams, five for
Whitman and four for Idaho.
Idaho started the scoring in the
first, taking advantage of an error and
coming in on a hit. Whitman follow
ed it up in their half of the inning.
and after the Idaho twirler, Appleman,
had walked four men, forcing Cusn-
man to tally, an error let in two more
runs. Idaho followed in the second
with two singles and two TALES, while
Whitman scored a goose egg in their
half.
The spectacular inning was the fifth.

ing in tally, The sphere slid under
the fence outside of left field, while
Lundstrom raced around the sacks. W.
Belt, in left, dived through the barb
wire fence, and hanging by his legs,
caught up the ball and made a pretty
peg to Cushman, who relayed it home
in time to get Lundstrom, saving tai
ly for Idaho. Borleske got to first on
a single, stole second, and came home
on Shubert's base hit. Then for five
innings more the teams settled down
and gooseegged each other until the
last of the eleventh, when A. Belt
made the score that cinched the game
for the Missionaries
Appleman, for Idaho, pitched great
ball, when he came down from the
clouds after the first inning. He walk
ed six men, and struck out eleven.
Belt, for Whitman in addition to steady
twirling, fielded his position in good
style. He hit the first man to bat with
a pitched ball, and then redeemed him

game.

SCHUYLK|LL SCENE
OF GALA REGATTA
American HeneIey Being Pulled Off
on New York Stream This After
noon With Many Crews
Competing for Honors.

PHILADELPHIA, May 22-The staid
old Quaker city is today swathed in
violent colors and it's Welkin rent wide
open by the enthusiastic cheers of the
youthful rooters who are here from
the various colleges having crews en-
tered in the American Henley, the an
nual meet of the American Rowing as
ISOLATION.
The famous course on the Schuyl-
kill river, the scene of many historic
contests of amateur oarsmen, will be
used for todays events. Thousands
of people are gathering along the
shores and an unprecedented crowd
will probably witness the contest of
the aquatic gladiators.
Much interest centers in the race
for the junior college crews. 1t is
expected that the real fight will be be-
tween the crews of Yale and Cornell,
although the Harvard and Pennsylva-
MIA adherents believe that they have a
chance.
Yale has won the junior twice and
the ease with which the Yale young
sters defeated Pennsylvania recently
has led the Yale men to expect a re-
petition. 1t is known that Cornell has
strong hopes of taking the event This
is Cornell's first appearance here since
1907, when the Ithacans lost to Yale,
and Courtney's men will try to get re-
venge this year.

Killed and Wounded.
ANARCHY PREVAILS At HOME
Barcelona the Center Of Riot, Pill
lage and InCendiarism.
SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION

The desperate condition of Spain
both at home and abroad was dis
closed when the Spanish government
officially admitted the defeat of gov
ernment troops in a great battle In
Morocco and at the same time re-
ports showed that Barcelona was COM
pletely in the hands of revolutionary
mob, the streets running with blood
and the Spanish artillery using ma
chine guns In a vain attempt to check
the onslaught of the revolutionary ele.
ment
The battle In Morocco has brought
a crushing defeat to the Spanish
forces. The casualties on the Spanish
side reached 1900, giving the defeat
an aspect akin to that which the
Italians met in invading Abyssinia.
The Moors, flushed with their VIC
tory are now advancing to attack the
Spaniards at another strategic point,
Alhucemas. The latest dispatches in
dicate that Melilla, the Spanish strong
hold, is so pressed by the Moors that
its safety Is In danger and that capt.
ulation to the Moors would not cause
surprise.
The internal condition of Spain is
bordering on anarchy Barcelona, the
second largest city of Spain and the
commercial rival of Madrid, is a CEN
tel of riot, pillage, the burning of
public and religious institutions and
continued bloody fighting between the
Spanish troops and rioters entrenched
behind high barrlcades. The gravity
of the situation, as related from points
along the Spanish frontier, suggests
the bloody days of the Paris COM
mune.
