Want Bail for Murderer.

Attorney Hanna representing Jas.
Roberts. the boy accused of killing j.
d. Mcconnell at ColfaX on July 4th,
Monday morning entered a demurrer
to the complaint as amended, stating
that a material change had been
made in the original complaint by
the substitution of the name of j. d.
Mcconnell, for that of Dell McCOn-
nell, the latter a nickname of the
murdered man. The attorney also ar
gued that the facts cited in the in
formation were not sufficient to JUS
tify a charge of first degree murder.
The demurrer was taken under adj
visement by the Judge.
Attorney Hanna also argued that
his client should be admitted to bail,
and that the death-bed statement of
Mcconnell should be used as a means
of determining whether or not
Roberts should be granted the priyi-
lege of bail. Attorney Brown for the
state claimed that the question of
proving the prisoner a fit subject
for bail rested with the defense.
The court set tomorrow, Saturday,
at 10 O'Clock as the time for hearing
evidence on the question of bail.

ing to athletics.
For several years the college has
been represented by football, base
ball, basketball and track teams that
were second to none in the northwest,
but the various contests held in this
city were not patronized by the peo-
pie of Pullman as they should have
been, and as a result the funds de-
rived therefrom did not keep pace
with the necessary expenditures. An
effort will be made to bring out a
bigger representation Of business
men and down town" people 10
these events and also to secure bet
ter support for the city baseball team.
Speeches were made by several of
the business men and by Manager
Jones, of the college, and a general
booster feeling was evidenced.

FOOTBALL OUTLOOK
At STATE COLLEGE
LAIRD, ENGLEHORN AND DEWITT
WILL PROBABLY APPEAR IN w.
:. {. LINEUP.

Oscar p. Osthoff, of the,Uniyersltv
Iot Wisconsin, football coach of the w
>. G., is expected in Pullman the lat
ter part of next week from Elkhart
Lake, Wis, where he has been attend
ing meeting of a number of football
coaches who have been working to-
gether under the new rules. An eff
fort will be made to assemble the foot
ball squad at least one week before
the opening of school, in order to
give the boys a chance to learn the
new rules. and get a little more
practice in them before the hard
game with the University of Idaho
on October %. The college term OPP
ems very late this year and with prac-
tically a new game some fast work
will need to be done. Work has been
in progress on Rogers field for sew
eral days, and with a little rain the
gridiron will be in good condition. AS
vacation nears an end a number of
students who did not expect to re-
turn when they left in June are now
decided that they can and will be
back. Laird, Englehorn and Dewitt
had not been counted upon to return,
but the latest advice indicates that
they may all be in the squad Captain
Hunter and Harter, a new man from
the Wenatchee high school, and a fine
specimen of manhood, are already in
the city, working in local wheat ware
houses. Jack Nelson is also working
in Pullman and is looked upon as
valuable addition to the football
material, as are Harold Game and
John Vassie, who were in school last
year, but did not take part in athlet-
les. Vassie was one of the star rugby
players in all Scotland and Game
learned the same game in Australia.
With these men and at least thirty
others who are expected to ask for
football suits there should be a team
secured that can make things inter
esting for the crowds and ii is con-
coded by all that the new game will
be popular with the spectator.

The grocery stores of Pullman
have this week entered into an agree
mont that they win no longer deliver
meat for the butcher shops.
1t has long been the custom of the
patrons of the meat shops to get their
meat and take It to their grocery
store for delivery and until this week
no protest has been entered by the
groCers. An endeavor was made by
the latter to effect a settlement with
the butchers whereby the grocery
delivery wagons would deliver their
meat for stipulated amount each
month, but this was not satisfactory
to the meat dispensers and hence the
action on the part of the grocery
stores. The butcher shops have also
refused to put on delivery wagon of
their own, which leaves it up to the
meat users to act as their own deliy-
cry wagon, or use ham or bacon
which the grocery stores all carry
and will deliver without extra charge.
The miXup has created considera-
bic excitement and the outcome of
the alteration will be watched with
interest. 1t is quite probable that
the meat shops will be forced to put
on delivery wagon, but in the mean
time the patrons of the shops are the
sufferers.

Jno. w Mathews and family re-
turned the first of the week from
Buhl, Idaho, where they spent the

of land near Bull, and during the
summer built house and cleared 70
acres of land, and sowed it to alfalfa.
The water was turned on and he got
first class crop this season. Mr..
Mathews will continue his law prac-
tiCe in Pullman and will hold his Ida
no land as an investment, he being
very enthusiastic over the future Of
that country. They drove overland

Pullman Candidate Popular

Regarding the candidacy of d. c..
Dow, of Pullman, for prosecuting at
torney, the Pennington Independent
has the following to say:
a. c. Dow of Pullman has an
nounCed his candidacy for the office
of prosecuting attorney of Whitman
county on the republican ticket to be
voted on at the September primaries
The Independent again emphasizes
the necessity of m embers of all par
ties to select only the best available
timber to fill the county offices, as it
is these men who are responsible for
the high rate of taxation. Mr.. Dow is
a bright and clear headed young law
yer. who is in every way qualified to
fill the position to which he aspires
will make no mistake in voting for
him. For the past few years he has
been a partner of Thomas Neill, one
of the most brilliant lawyers in Wash
ingtOn and one who is considered
head and shoulders above the mem
bers of his profession in Whitman
county. In selecting a prosecuting
attorney and superior judge it is es-
sentiaI to the best interests of the
county that both men work in har-
mony and a vote for these gentlemen
will be vote for the best men for
these offices"

THOS. NELL LOOKS
LIKE EASY WINNER
PULLMAN CANDIDATE SHOWS
STRENGTH IN EVERY PART OF
WHITMAN COUNTY.

Reports from different towns in the
county indicate that Judge Pickrell
and Thos. Neill will be the tro hay
ing the highest number Of votes ut
candidates at the general election. 1t
is a question which of these - viii
have the highest vote In he Cstern
part of the county Judge Piclrell will
lead, but in the towns IT. the eastern
part Mr.. Neill seems to be the favor
lite, although some of these towns will
give Pickrell a plurality. On the 9TH
er hand, some of them will give
Neill a majority and some of them
only a plurality.
Mr.. Neergaard will have a majority
in Oakesdale. but this is the only
place where he will have either a ma
jority or a plurality and according to
the concensus of opinion Mr.. Hanna
will not have a plurality in any town
in the county.
The country vote is an uncertain
quantity but it is generally conceded
that .Pickrell is not strong in the
country precincts, as he is associated
in the minds of the farmers with the
machine that in years past dominated
the republican party and it is now
generally believed that Judge
should be free from partisan politics,
to which end the law has made the
election of judge non-partisan mat
ter.

Inc lbllNWlnE article regarding w.
l.. LaFollette, of this city, candidate
for the republican nomination for
congressman from the Third district,
appeared in Sundays Spokesman
Review:
A shining example" of what hon
esty, hard work and close attention
to business may accomplish in the
Palouse country, is shown by the sue
cess attending the efforts of w. l..
LaFollette, who has just completed
100000 home in Pullman. Mr.. La
Toilette is one Of the pioneers of this
country. having farmed in Whitman
county for 81 years, and during that
time he has amassed a fortune that
would be rated high in any country.
Few men have had more trials or
hardships than has Mr. LaFollette,
for he came here to work as a farm
hand, and secured homestead,
which he still owns. The later arri-
'''' III 'lil9 NbuHLiS nave up Iued
of the hardships endured by the first
settlers, who were hundreds of miles
away from railroads, and the neces-
Stiles of life had to be brought many
miles in wagons, over almost impas-
sible roads.
Mr.. LaFollette, then mere youth,
came here to seek his fortune. He
secured employment on a ranch ana
invested his earnings in the first
payment on 100 acres of railroad
land, bought on annual payments,
from the Northern Pacific railroad
He was not Fl years of age when
he bought his first land and all the
good homesteads had been taken
before he reached his majority.
Getting a team and some farm i'm
plements he cultivated the land and
raised grain. The proceeds of this
went to buy more land, and this plan
was carried out each succeeding year
until in 1893 he had about 1000
acres of choice farm land, we'll i'm
proved and producing good crops.
In the meantime Mr.. LaFollette
had married the daughter of one of
Whitman countys first and most
respected settlers, John B.
Taber, and was raising a family of
sons and daughters. He had become
popular and was besieged to run for
office, but refused to do so, devot-
ing his time to his farm work. He
also engaged in fruit growing to some
extent and later bought the big or
chard of his father-in-law at Wa
wawai. In 1893 he was made one of
the commissioners from this state
to prepare and care for the exhibit Of
at the worlds fair in
Chicago.
On the Worlds Fair Commission
Mr.. LaFollette entered into this
work with the same spirit of energy
and ambition which has characterized
his whole life. He made this work
his chief aim while he was on the
commission, and those who served
with him at the same time say that
he was the life Of the commission. He
trusted the farm to the hired man
and spent all his time in trying to
secure for his adopted state more
settlers and to displaying the exhibits
at Chicago so that they would attract
interest and bring more people to
the state.
When the exposition was over Mr..
LaFollette returned to his farm to
find his crops ruined by the fall rains,
which began the first week in Sep
TENDER and destroyed one Of the best
crops ever produced in Whitma an
county. People were panic stricken.
Everyone was in debt and their cred
itors became alarmed and wanted the
money. Mr.. LaFollette, like all other
