FAMOUS ATTORNEY AND
THATCHER OLD FRIENDS

by means of small news item
appearing in an Ohio paper, Prof
Thatcher recently learned that Dis
trict Attorney Charles S. Whitman of
New York City, who is conducting
the vice Investigations whcih have
been described so extensively in the
newspapers for the past few months,
is the same Charley Whitman with
whom he played, fought and pestered
the school teacher back in a small
northern Ohio town some thirty
years ago. Prof. Thatcher had lost
all track of his boy friend, and i'm
mediately upon finding this out, he
wrote to Mr.. Whitman, and last week
received cordial letter in reply in
which the celebrated attorney mem
toned many familiars incidents of
their boyhood days and extended to
Prof. Thatcher an earnest invitation
to visit him and his family in New
York City.
A peculiar coincidence is that Mr..
Emory Buckner, the attorney en-
ployed in Mr.. Whitman's Office for
the special investigation of the po-
lice graft, was a fraternity brother
of Prof. Thatcher at the University
of Nebraska. Mr.. Buckner graduated
from the law school of the Univer-
sity in 1907, and was this fall ap-
pointed as special assistant in the
New York district attorneys office
at salary of $4,000 a year.

The severe snow storms of the
past few days have almost strangled
business in Pullman, as most of the
farmers are unable to come to town
on account of the badly drifted
roads. A few of the old timers say
that there have been deeper snow
Tails in the early days, but the gem
eral consensus of opinion is that
there is more snow on the ground
now than at any time since the set
tlement of Whitman county The
weather observer at the w S. c..
states that up to Wednesday morn
ing 80 inches of snow had fallen, and
that the previous high record for
any entire winter since the weather
bureau station was established here
is "a inches, This record will, in all
probability, be broken this year as a
good deal more snow is to be ex-
pected before spring.
During the early part of the week
train service was very irregular on
account of the snow blockades, but
both the n. p. and the O.-W. r. & N.
lines are now open. The local mail
carriers on the r. f. d. routes have
been going out every day, though
they are able to cover but a part of
their territory and many farmers
have phoned to them not TO try to
reach their places until the roads are
broken out. Drifts of from 10 to 20
feet have been reported in many
places and in several instances
farmers have been obliged to tunnel
through drifts in order to reach
their barns or to travel on the roads

Game Warden Sues County

George Muir of this city, through
his attorney, John w. Mathews, has
commenced an action in the superior
court against Whitman county, to
recover 500, which is alleged to be
due him on salary while acting as
game warden for the county during
the months of September, October,
November and December, 1912. Mr..
Muir was appointed game warden by
the county commissioners at the
written request of 100 resident free
holders of the county and his salary
was fixed at SIS per month, but
question as to the right of the
county commissioners to appoint
game warden having arisen, the COM
missioners desire that the court pass
upon the matter before a warrant is
drawn to pay Mr. Muir.

A vote of thanks is due to Mayor
Shaw and the city council for pro-
yiding snow plows to clear the side
walks in the residence districts OF
the city. The innovation was great
ly appreciated by the citizens and
students who heretofore have had to
wade through the drifts In front OF
unoccupied lots. 1t Is another step
toward making Pullman a good place
in which to reside.
