take up an Indebtedness of $4,000

Warrants to the above amount are

question of floating the bonds would

Man Tells of Affair.

Lieutenant Peter J. Hennessey, Of
the Fifteenth United States cavalry
formerly commandant of cadets at
the State College, and we'll known in
this city. rescued f. H. Eshleman, a
real estate man from Spokane, and
his son, Harold, from watery grave
in Twin Lakes, last Sunday. Lieut..
Hennessey was ordered to report to
his regiment at Fort Leavenworth
Kansas. and had stopped off at Twin
Lakes for a short time, en- route
The story of the rescue, as told BY
Mr. Eshleman, is as follows;
Milton, who is just learning to
swim, was having his first experience
in deep water. Lieutenant and Mrs
Hennessey and mystelf took him out
about 800 yards from shore.
Milton was doing nicely and
went into the water to help him. Al
though | can swim a little, / am not
accustomed to helping anybody else
in the water, and the first thing
knew both Milton and myself were
under water. We went down a sec
ond time, when one of us yelled to
Lieutenant Hennessey, who was in a
boat some distance away.
'Hennessey gave one big pull on
the oars and dived for Milton. He
brought him to the surface and
quickly had him safely in the boat
He then grabbed me and towed me
to the boat in safety.
Certainly we both owe our lives
to Lieutenant Hennessey."

so little in the way of property or

gether with what fruit they can get,

LITTLE DEMAND
FOR WORK HORSES
Public Sale of Heavy Horses, Held
in Connection with Market Day,
Attracts Big Crowd, but
Low Prices Prevail

Fifteen head of first-class work
horses belonging to A. b. Baker and
three head belonging to V. l.. Hig-
gins went under the hammer at
the big public sale of horses and
farm implements held in connection
with Pullman's third Market Day
last Saturday, While In some cases
the bidding was spirited, low prices
prevailed and many of the animals
were sold for much less than their
full value. The best price paid for
a team was by H. G. Tufts, who paid
$500 for an excellent team of work
horses. Joe Copenhayer paid $275
for team, and N. c. Myers got one
for an even hundred dollars.
The animal that attracted the most
attention was a beautiful black mare,
with colt at side, owned by Mr.. Hig-
gins. The mare was bid in by G.
z. Hulse at $165 and the concensus
Of opinion was that he got a bargain.
Another of Mr.. Higgins horses sold
for $145 and a third brought 800,
after which the owner refused to
sell any more, the prices received be-
ing too low to warrant the sale of
the animals.
Several sets of harness brought
good prices, but two wagons were
sold for much less than their value.
A large crowd was attracted by the
sale, but as Palouse country farmers
are well supplied with good horse
flesh. the bidding as a general rule,
was unspirited and slow. Col. ]. B.
Hicks OBLIGATED with the hammer.
