JUST A LITTLE EARLY

To talk about Christmas out of town
Is a little premature, but it is well to
keep Haleiwa in mind, Unusual prep
arations are being made to entertain
those who prefer a day away from
home to the bother of planning a din
ner and to entertain company. It's
rather dificult, too, TO manage a golf
links in the average yard of a city
residence. Haleiwa affords the best
there is and a tennis court that is all
that could be desired by the most en-,
thusiastic wielder of the racquet,
Keep Haleiwa in mind if on are plan,

liam Park, the Winona youth claimed
by relatives to be delinquent, and
Lee Moore, boy who had been
around Colfax for several weeks with
no parental control. The boys are
13 and IA years of age and will
probably be kept in the training
school until they are Is.
Mr.. Cline, the travelling guard, at
tended the State college with San
Kimbrough and enjoyed a visit with
his former classmate while in this
city. Aside from his duties as a
travelling guard. Mr.. Cline is director
of music at the training school.
Since the two boys arrived at the
State training school, Superintendent
c. c. Aspinwall has written letter
to Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Stotler suggesting that it is a pity
that Lee Moore should be compelled
to remain at the training school
when there was no complaint against
him other than that his parents had
failed to care for him. Mr.. StOtler
would be glad to communicate with
some farmer who needs strong boy
and in case a home can be found the
boy will be released from the train
ing school.

"SOUR Dough" IS
VICTIM OF HOLD-UP
RELIEVED OF $3.50 and VALUABLE
PAPERS ON EVE OF RETURN
FROM ALASKA.

Ora Byrd, who has been visiting
his brother, William Byrd, and moth
er IN this city, was held up at the
point OF gun Tuesday night at 10
O'Clock and relieved of a pocketbook
containing $3.50 in cash, a Seattle
draft for $500, ticket from White
horse to SkagaWay in Alaska, certifi-
Gates Of mining stock and mine
leases besides receipts and other pa
pers. Byrd had been eating at a
restaurant on Main street a few min
utes before and started for the south
end Of town when two unmasked
men poked a gun in his face and
took his pOcketbook.
Byrd has travelled nearly all over
the world and has spent many years
in Alaska. What made him sore was
to think that after roughing it all
over the world he should be held up
in quiet little town in an agricul-
tural community. He was planning
to leave the next morning on his re-
turn to Alaska but delayed his start
for a day in vain search for the
robbers
L VIZ lnSn dASh SIlAS Ii4S OSSCIIp-
ton of the desperados were arrested
Wednesday and searched but no
damaging evidence was found and as
Byrd could not positively indentify
them, they were released. The

pany store Wednesday morning by
w. Z. Troy as he was coming down
town.

IWlce as many people as were
ever before seen on the Whitman
county fair grounds on a Tuesday
witnessed the opening day of the
races. Something was doing all the
While and it was a well satisfied
crowd which was loath to leave the
grounds until the shades of evening
were falling.
John Spain, the worlds champion
bronco buster and winner OF the
Ducklng contest at the Pendleton
Roundup, was in the saddle and
won hrst money in the bucking con-
test He rode the famous outlaw
horse, Earl. Buck Cannon, on Little
White Wing, the pinto pony, won
second place. Smiley Corbett
another cowboy famous for his rid
ing, mounted Whirlwind and was no
sooner in the saddle than Whirlwind
threw himself on his rider. Smiley
scrambled to his feet and was in the
saddle in a second and this time con-
quered the fiery little Whirlwind.
Little Hot Foot, the first horse sad
died for the contest wass announced
winner after giving H. G. Bennett
hard fall. Ned Sans mounted
Garry Nation and circled the track
in record time but had little bucking
TO contend with. Introduction gave
fair exhibition of bucking and then
reared up and fell on his rider, Glen
Cox, who received a wrenched knee
but was able to walk from the track.

High SCHOOL TEAM IS
after CHAMPIONSHIP
MAKES VERY STRONG SHOWING
AGAINST HEAVIER TEAM OF
SPOKANE HIGH SCHOOL.

The High School boys lost their
second game by score of 23-0 to
Spokane in one of the best exhibi-
tions ever seen on the local grounds.
The fact that they were out
weighed 20 pounds to the man
plainly tells the reason of the high
score.
In the first quarter Colfax played
all around Spokane being in their
territory practically all the time. In
the first half Spokane was not at all
successful with the forward pass on
which they were supposed to be so
strong and many times the light line
of Colfax would hold the Spokane
team to downs.
Every man on the local team was
a star, not one showing TO much
more advantage than another; their
work was splendid and the played
as one man.
In the last two quarters the team
weakened rapidly due to being out
weighed and the fact that two of
the strongest players, Golf and Lom-
mason, were taken from the game
OA ACCOUNT VI IUJuE1cS. buI NOT
wtihstanding these facts they fought
hard until the final whistle.
The Spokane boys did not score
until the last of the second quarter
when they succeeded in getting the
ball over the goal line on a fake drop
kick formation. The fact is, the
Spokane team earned only II of the
% points, the other IL were gotten
on f1ukes.
The local team played mucn better
ball than they did against Palouse
and if they had had a practice game
before the Palouse game the story
would have been altogether different.
But the defeat by PalOuse does not
put ColfaX out of the race for cham
pionship by a whole lot.
The return of De Pledge, one of
the best ends the game has ever seen
in this part Of the country has
strengthened the team wonderfully.
Morrison, the star half-back will
soon be in condition again and a
championship team is looked for by
Coaches Pearse and Freer.
The team goes 10 Oakesdale this
coming Saturday, where they will
get their first victory for the sea
son of 1911. The lineup will be a
little different from the one in the
Palouse and Spokane games.

new O..W. R.&N.
DEPOT IN SIGHT
STREET TO Be OPENED FROM MILL
TO MORTON THROUGH POT.
LATCH LUMBER YARDS.

A new O.-W. R. & n. depot and
extensive improvements in that end
of the city will follow as a result of
an action taken by the city council
Monday night. The proposed plan
is to extend Mill street from the
FIGURING mill straight north through
the POtlatch Lumber company yards
and across the O.-W. r. & n. tracks
to Morton street. The old street
extending on an angle from the mill
to Main street will be given to the
Potlatch people in exchange for an
easement across their yard for the
new street. The matter for the
POtlatch people was left in the hands
of Manager McNeely and he has will
ingly gave his consent for the change.
The owners of the ColfaX Touring
mill are anxious to have the change
made and at the same time will make
substantial improvements in the race
and f1ume where they cross the
street. A concrete fiume will be
built under the street and new
bridge constructed over the race.
When consulted a short time ago
concerning the matter General Su-
perintendent O'Brien of the O.-W r.
& n. company stated that the pro-
posed change when carried into exc
cutiOn would necessitate new depot
on the opposite side of the rack from
the present station. Division Su-
perintendent Conley has been in
structed to secure plans for a new
depot. In recent interview Super
intendent Conley stated that he pre-
ferred to locate the depot on the
south side of the tracks directly in
line with the proposed street exten-
sion but if the street should be put
through there they would be COM
PEELED to locate the depot still further
east. He further stated that he would
not stand in the way of any improve
ments which the city wished to make
but would be glad to see something
better for ColfaX.
On motion of the council Mayor
Weinberg appointed COuncilmen Bar
roII, Tiff and Perrine as a committee
to take charge of the proposed street
change. The county has given con-
sent to vacate the old street between
the mill and Main street which was
formerly used as county road
though no one was ever given title
to it.
Considerable other business Of i'm
portance came before the council at
the meeting Monday evening. 1t was
voted to procure iron railing for the
Island street and portion of the
Main street bridges.
The city attorney was instructed
to prepare a resolution for the con-
struction of a short sewer which was
washed out by the flood between
Island street and the COdd bridge
along Main street.
Four nozzles were purchased Tor
the use of the fire department.
The marshal was instructed 10
notify Mr.. Hubbard that Mrs Fergu-
sons barn, which extends about two
feet out into Mill street, must be
moved back to the property line.
The matter of changing the loca-
ton of several street lights was left
in the hands of the street committee
with full power to act.

Never before in the history OF the
sixteen annual fairs held by the
Whitman County Fair association
have conditions been so ideal as this
year. Beautiful weather Sunday
gave promise of a pleasant week, and
the weather man has made good.
Waiting until the other fairs were
over has resulted, as the management
expected, in bringing a long string OF
good race horses and the races nave
already been declared the best ever
seen in Whitman county.
A dozen cowboys who participated
in the Pendleton Roundup add
picturesqueness TO the scene and
their riding and rOping has made a
hit from the very first. Among the
riders are John Spain, champion
rider of the world who won the buck
ing contest at Pendleton, Smiley Cor
bett, Happy Jack, Buck Cannon, ii.
C. Bennett, Ben Jory, Ned Cox ana
several other celebrities.

Capizzutti, of the carbineers of Naples,

the Witness had prepared, Fresident
Bianchi saying the judges and jury had
had enough of such descriptions. The
witness confined himself to particulars
of the Cuoccolo crime and of his asso-
citation with Abbatemaggio. He said
he had known the informer as a Grim
iual in the past and believed that he
had been implicated with murders,
this suspicion being made stronger by
the fact that he suddenly disappeared.
Later he found Abbatemaggio in
prison.
Capizzuti expressed the opinion that
the informer was moved to confess.
not because of a change of heart but
by an impulse of self preservation.
