DUST STORM RECORDS BROKEN
Walla Walla Greatly Damaged by
High Wind


High Wind
Walla Walla, Wash.-Dust storm
records of six years were broken Mon
day by a black cloud of dust, which,
gathering far westward towards the
Columbia river, broke on the city in
a perpendicular wall at clock with
the blackness of night, and for 25
minutes made necessary the use of gas
and electricity for lighting all build
ings. Wires were badly tangled and
many telephones were put out of bust
ness. Manufacturing establishments
we're forced to close on account of
darkness and the dense atmosphere of
dust. The wind lasted for nearly an
hour. 49,.
Murder Convict Escaped.
Taking advantage of the nightlike
darkness, Mike Donnelly, alias Charles
Robinson, convict No. 6120 at the state
penitentiary, climbed up among the :
trusses supporting the roof of the jute
mill, opened a skylight, scrambled over
the roof, secured a ladder and escaped
over the wall and got away. The es-
cape is the most daring perpetrated
here in years and was thought impos-
sible.
Donnelly was serving a life sentence
for murder, having been sent up from
Whatcom county May IL this year. He
is considered dangerous.
The man is marked in red, blue,
green, yellow and brown tattoo on his
right forearm, the figures representing
a woman in tights, an American flag
and an eagle.
He has negro blood, is feet II
inches tall, has brown eyes and dark
brown frizzled hair
Bandit Caught.
Carl Weems, who shot Lee Cantrill
and Deputy Sheriff Cole, was captured
near Diamond by posse of harvest
hands which pursued him several miles
Throughout the chase Weems turned and
fred at his pursuers again and again
and is supposed to have ceased firing
only because his ammunition was ex-
hausted. He admits his guilt and says
he comes from Florida.

P.l. SAYS REUHLB BACH
WILL PITCH IN APRIL
Big Fellow Already Has
Control and Will Work
in Early Games.

Frank Chance, the boss bear of the
Cubs. is an optimist this spring for the
first time The Peerless leader wrote
President Murphy letter, the arrival
of which cheered the latter nightly
yesterday. in which he declares the
present Cub outfit the best he ever took
out on a spring training trip.
The most gratifying news in the let
ter was the information that Chance
legs are in the best shape they have
been in years. Chance has been out of
the game more or less the past four
years with bad legs and feet, and his
absences never fail to slow up the
team. Chance writes he has given his
legs the severest kind of workout at
New Orleans and has failed to find a
joint or muscle the least bit out of
gear He AYERS that the Cubs will find
him at first base every day for the
first time in several years.
Chance really is about the best steal
er in the league. He has had to quit
pilfering for two or three years, but
with his underpinning as good as ever
can be relied on to boost the Cubs base
stealing average this summer.
Chance also tells Murphy that Reul-
bach already has gained control and
start of the season. perhaps in the first
game, instead of waiting until about
June Is to get the big fellow into pitch
ing form. This will mean much to a
pitching staff that has lost Overall, al
ways a good beginner
The Cub boss also writes that Jimmy
Sheckard is in unusually fine condition
this spring, being lighter than in years
and that he expects his crack left field
to have great year. Which reminds
us that a year ago this spring dis
gruntled Cub fans were critfcisine
Chance for not letting Sheckard go
Jimmy is one of the most valuable out
felders in the game and has plenty OF
good baseball left in him No one
knows that better than Chance.

WHAT no! NELSON AND
BRITT 10 FIGHT AGAIN
Old Rivals Ready to Hook
Up Once More in
Quakertown.

Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt are
to fight again. Four times did these
once great lightweights clash in the
dim and distant past and four times did
they satisfy immense coast crowds with
their brilliant battles.
Old and bitter rivals, 1T was hardly
to be hoped they would ever get to-
gether again. but Jack OBrien. once
fighter. now promoter, and the man
who almost knocked out ]. Anthony
Drexel Biddle's eye. has practically
matched them to fight the week of
April "a in Philadelphia.
Battling Nelson said last night that
he had agreed to fight any time OBrien
wanted him to and that he would bat
tie Britt at the drop of the hat"
Britt has sent word TO O'Brien from
London that he is preparing to sail and
to be sure and get Nelson into the ring
with him. These veterans will put UP
a mill that should be treat for the
eastern fans, as it will be the first time
the pair ever fought outside of Califor-
MIA
Britt is still fast and clever, as he
has been fighting quite bit in Eng
land. Nelson thinks he is good as
ever. though many are inclined to dis
agree with the confident Bat. Anyway
both should be good for a lively six
round battle and should draw a good
crowd in Quakertown.
Wonders In the pugilistic matchmak-
ing line will never cease.
| Nelson and Britt may fight their
sixth battle in an airship some day. One
| can never tell.

hEMSlC, At WEIGHT,
SAYS | EXPECT TO
STOP WOLGhS1
Champion Receivers Form
and Delights Manager in
Workout.

Los Angeles. Cal, March IA tiger
ish little Queensberry fighter is George
Memsic, who. after a full month of
training and with a chance at the
worlds lightweight championship only
four days away. is now fit to fight at
the beckon of his trainer.
All doubt as to the Bohemian's abili-
ty to make the ringside weight was set
aside yesterday afternoon when Memsic
weighed in for the benefit of Referee
Charley Eyton and the writer. He tip
ped the beam at 134 pounds. This was
before his workout, after which job
George was easily under the 1913 pound
mark.
Among the hundred or more specta-
tors at the west side camp yesterday
were several good judges of condition,
and in the opinion of these George
Memsic is in superb condition
In light gymnasium costume Memsic
labored through the pulley exercises.
slammed the punching bag. boxed six
full rounds with Rees and Dalton and
then tugged at the iron weights again
without taking a long breath. Obvious
ly the boy is in strictly first class shape
for the desperate battle he expects TO
put up against Ad Wolgast at Vernon
next Friday afternoon.
When 1 fought for the title before,
went against Joe Cans, one of the clev-
crest men the lightweight division has
ever known" said Memsic. Joe out
pointed me, but didn't hurt me at all.
This time I get a crack at a cham
pion who is less clever than ] am and
who mixes things up the way 1 like to
fight. In our previous fights Wolgast
wasn't able to hurt me and 1 wasn't
near SO good as l am now. / honestly
expect to stop Wolgast."
The matter of weight forfeits was
easily adjusted when Cap McRae, act
ing for Memsic, called on Promoter
McCarey this afternoon and put up the
81 900 to guarantee Memsic's delivery in
the Vernon ring at o'clock Friday
afternoon, weighing 1873 pounds or I'M
der. This weight is the same as catch
weights for Wolgast, who will be three
or four pounds under that.

afternoon, and it's queer and puzzling

straight. seemed to halt, and then quiv-
