GOT RITCHIE'S GOAT
HIS WILLIAM GOAT
Cannot be Found with Search Warrant
Reward for the Return of His
GOatShip

Lost his goat." Not in the meta
phorical, nor yet in the paregorical or
equivocal sense, but in fact, Mr.. Richie
had a goat, Of the William sex, odorifer
Gus, if the breeze set in your direction.
Pugnacious, if you got in his way, and
all the time a goat" Mr.. Richie
thought it would be a good idea to
put the goat in the park to keep the
deer from getting lonesome. Which
was not bad idea. Dears and deers
need company and always have com
pany in this town. So Mr.. Ritchie
put the goat in the park some time
the past spring, and thereby hangs a
tale, the tale of a goal"
AS the weather waxed warm the
goat became odoriferous, as goats Of his
particular character are wont. Like
wise some people complained that
the presence of the goat affected the
health of his deer companion, and as
proof of the fact pointed to the dear's
ribs, which they said daily became
more prominent and visible. Now
the deer is the property Of the town
OF Leavenworth, which town last spring
expended the goodly sum of $3.50 in
building an inclosure in the park, and
the public, individually and collec-
lively, felt they had a proprietary in
terest in the health and welfare of the
deer, and made sundry and divers
complaints about the goat being kept
in the park, to the detriment of the
health of public property, and to the
great offense of the olfactory nerves of
the said public. But the goat contin-
ned to browse on the grass-of the pub
lie, TO menace the health of the deer
and at the same time emit that peculiar
odor which offends the nostrils OF SEN
sitive people. Right here is where
the tragic part of the STORY Of goat"
begins. The goat is gone. Disap-
peared last Thursday night. Vanished
in thin air, as it were. Even took MS
odor with him. Nor can any trace Of
his goatship be found, tho diligent
search has been made. There be those
who say they saw him cropping sage
brush in the vicinity of Soap lake; 9TH
ers say Mr.. Burce has guilty knowledge
of his whereabouts; still others say that
the druggists got the goat to favor
their assafoedita; and yet others say
that Night Marshall Pratt could tale
unfold that would harrow up the soul,
make your two eyes start from their
sockets like stars from the spheres,
make your matted and combined
locks to part and each separate hair
stand on end like quills upon the fret
ful porcupine.
But the goat Where is hep and
this Echo answereth he is non est com
atabus ct swampo.

NEW AUTO RECORD
HERE TO WENATCHFE
W. {. Moore Makes Trip of Twenty-Six
and 0ne-HaIf Miles in Fifty
five Minutes

From Leavenworth TO Wenatchee in
S. minutes, by automobile will no
doubt seem impossible to motorists OF
this city in view of the fastest time
made heretofore, about an hour and
ten minutes, but this was the record
established a short time ago by w. E.
Moore of the Leavenworth Lumber
Co., in his Ford machine. 1t was my
intention says Mr.. Moore to make a
record run between this city and We
natchee, and I think I have cut the
time down now, where they will have
to go some to beat me. The start was
made from the Club Pool room, and
Just fifty five minutes later, not min
ute more or less, I pulled up in front Of
Conrad Roses Produce Co. Of course
the roads were in fine shape when I
made the trip, which can't be said at
the present time, but I can do it again
if there is anyone hanging around with
a 500 who says I am unable to do it.
The writer was convinced that Mr..
Moore meant what he said when he
was a party in conversation that
took place last week. Mr.. Moore had
just finished telling about his trip,
when one fellow spoke up, You can't
do it w. E." Well you can imagine
how the former baseball magnate would
like that. Il can't do it eh, well I'll
tell you what I will do, I'll just bet
you 500 that I can, and you can go
TO Wenatchee with me in the morn
ing" No Moore I don't want to
bet, but I don't think you can do it
at that" Say you poor Boob, I'll
go you one better. I'll put up 800
against your $50 and we will start
right now." Even this did not move
the skeptical one, however, as he said
his life was not insured and he would
want to get that matter fixed up be-
fore he made the trip. 1t was about
ten o'clock in the evening when the
lumberman made his proposition and
quite dark at the time, but he told the
writer afterwards that he wasn't afraid
but what he would have won the mon
ey if the other fellow hadn't backed
out.
Hal Starks is reported to have made
the trip between this city and Wenat-
chee in an hour and five minutes and
there are a number Of others among
them F. w. Smith OF the Quigg &
Seaman Co. who only require from ff-
teen to twenty minutes over an hour
to make the trip, but the record set
by Mr. Moore beats anothing we have
yet heard OF.
Mr.. Moore is said to be one of the
fastest drivers in the valley and when
he starts out to go any place, simply
burns up the road. He has been fined
several times for exceeding the speed
limits in Wenatchee, but they can't
stop him when he gets out on the
open road.
