automobile manufacturers, large |
number of new autos will be purchas-
ed by upper peninsula people for 1911. |
Some orders for cars for early deliv-
cry have already been placed.
With practically all the counties in
the upper peninsula busy with high
way improvements, II is question of
but short time when motor cars
can be driven all over this region. Ul-
timately the upper peninsula will have
as fine roads as any part of the coun' !
try. The run from Marquette county
to the Menominee range will be pop
uar one next season, as those who
have already been over the road report
that it can be made without difficulty
After Marquette county builds new
road to take the place OF the bush
road between Voegtlins mill and
Witch lake the highway from Mar
quette to Iron Mountain will be I'm fine
{ condition and some fast time will then
be made between the Marquette and

HERALD's FIRST EDITOR DEAD
j. j. Sargent, who Edited PuIIman's
First Newspaper in 1888, Passes
Away at WaterviIle,

]. j. Sargent, the first editor of
the first newspaper in the history OF
Pullman, died at Waterville, Wash
last Sunday night at II o'clock. AIr
Sargent came to Pullman from North
Dakota in the fall of 1883, and or
Novem Der of that year the first
issue of the Pullman Herald appear
ed, with his name appearing on the
sheet as editor. The enterprise was
backed by Thos. Neill, still a citizen
of Pullman, who had induced Sar-
gent to cast his lot in the then terri
tory of Washington. Mr.. Sargent
was connected with the Herald as
editor for about six months, at the
end Of which time MILFORD Allen
took the helm, he purchasing the
paper a couple Of years later from
Mr.. Neill and continuing its possess
or until a year ago, when he disposed
OF the plant, then grown to large
proportions, to the present owners.
Mr.. Sargent was a newspaper man
and printer of wide experience, and
has probably followed his trade in
more offices in eastern Washington
than any other member OF the craft.
His wife Mrs. Minnie Sargent, was
formerly editor and proprietor of
the Pullman Tribune, but is now To-
Gated in Seattle Besides his wife
the deceased leaves two sons, both
former residents of this city. At
the time Sargent came to Pullman
the town boosted a population Of
only a few hundred and in his later
years he was a willing narrator of
pioneer days in the Artesian city.

ASSAULT IN THIRD DEGREE
George Bafus Escapes Murder Charge
With a Fine of $4,000.

The charge of murder in the first
degree against George Bafus for kill
ling Adam Lust completely collapsed
when the case was called for trial
last Monday. After a consultation
with all the witnesses Prosecuting
Attorney Chamberlain withdrew the
charge Of murder in the first degree
and substituted a charge of assault
in the third degree, to which Bafus
entered a plea Of guilty and was fined
$500 by Judge Miller of Dayton,
who had been called in to try the
case. There were no witnesses to
the quarrel and the defendant told
a straight story, claiming that Lust
came to his home and attacked him,
and that In self defense he struck
his assailant on the head with a stick
of wood.
Pattison e Pattison represented
Bafus and had the parents of Lust
in court ready to testify to the I'M
governable temper and quarrelsome
disposition of their dead son.
This was the last case on the dock
ct and the jurors were discharged.

F. Hall in honor of the two teams
which was well attended. Contrary to
expectations, the athletic association
cleared money on the Tekoa game. a
large crowd Of business men and col
lege students attending. The team has
received the greatest support from
the business men and students that
has ever been given a high school
team here. The expense Of bringing
the Rosalia team here will be heavy
but the management expects that
both the business men and college
students will attend in large mum
bers, since this is the last game to
be played in Pullman either by the
high school or college teams.

BRAKENIEN ACCUSED
OF STEALING FLOUR
George Park and j. c. Barclay Ar
rested, Charged With Theft OF
Flour from BoXcars

George Park and J. c. Barclay,
brakemen on the Genessee branch OF
the N. P, were arrested by Marshai
Baymiller Monday evening and
charged with the theft of several
sacks of flour from boxcar standing
in the local yards. The car was
broken open Sunday night and the
two brakemen were suspected OF the
crime. A search warrant was secur-
ed by Agent Wilson of the N. P. and
Constable Frank Hill found nVe
sacks of Anatone -four, the brand
which the car contained, at the home
of Barclay and one sack at the home
of Park.
A preliminary hearing was given
the accused men on Tuesday and
they were released on $500 Donds
to appear for trial later. The bond
was furnished by Barclay, who gave
a check for the required amount
While eleven sacks of -four were
Ltolen from the car only six could be
located by the officers and it is pos
sible that others may have been I'M
plicated in the affair or that some
of the plumber was disposed of before
the search was made of the premises
Of the suspects.
Both men are married and nave
families. Park is the owner OF q
ranch between Pullman and Spokane
and both men had heretofore borne
good regulations. Soon after the
preliminary hearing the men LEFT
