Nearly 500 farmers and their fam

The May festival is one of the two

for miles around. The Grange has
just completed a commodious dining
room, 16X60 feet in size, and has in
stalled a full complement of ranges,
dishes, etc. A new $3.50 piano has
also been installed. Secretary James
Emert reports the Grange in a far
mOre prosperous and Unanimous con
dition than ever before and states

lar Grange meetings has been bet
ter than ever before.

RAISE ROUGH HOUSE
IN LOCAL THEATRE
Washington Trio Receives Rude
Treatment at Hands of Young
Men and Boys-One Partici-
pant Heavily Fined

gang of college students, high
school students and town boys, vari-
ously estimated in numbers from rs
to zoo last Saturday evening took
! possession of the Pullman theater.
! elected the Washington Trio a trav-
cling company which was appearing
on the program from the building
and forced them to sing several songs
on the streets. The matter was called
to the attention OF county officials
| and on Monday Prosecuting Attor-
! ney Burgunder and Sheriff Cole
came to Pullman to investigate the
case. Monday evening eight of the
alleged offenders whose names had
been obtained were called before
these officials and Mayor Shaw and
| City Attorney lamar Most of the
students denied that they were con-
| nected with the affair, and upon the
condition that the leader of the gang
be produced Tuesday they were re-
leased. They failed to produce the
nstigator of the invasion, however,
and Tuesday evening George VAIL, II
Freshman at the college, whose home
is at Blaine, Wash, was arrested on
a warrant charging third degree as
sault. He was taken before Justice
Henry, entered plea of guilty and
was assessed a fine of 500. the ex-
IRENE penalty under the charge.
Young Vail was unable to raise
the money necessary to liquidate the
fine and costs and spent the night at
the hotel in custody of Sheriff Cole.
Early Wednesday morning, before
Sheriff Cole had an opportunity to
take the prisoner to ColfaX to serve
out the fine Attorney John w. Math-
ews, representing the prisoner, filed
a motion of appeal to the superior
court for a lighter sentence, alleg-
| ing that the offense did not justify
the heavy fine. VAIL was released
under bonds sufficient to cover the
fine and costs to await action on the
motion.
The mob gained entrance to the
theater through the side door and
one of the singers ran from the build
ing and took refuge in buttons candy
store. The other two were escorted
from the building and when the ref
ugee was produced he was forced to
sing a solo. The mob then demanded
a trio number, and their demand was
readily complied with.
Justice Henry this morning sus-
pended the fine during GOOD behav-
case, amounting to $3.50. His bonds
men were released.

WEST MAIN STREET
WILL Be IMPROVED
MaCadam Pavement Will BE Laid on
West Main Street, From Grand
Street to City Limits-NOte
Is Unanimous

One of the most important ordi-
nances passed by the city council for
many months was that declaring the
intention of the council to improve
West Main street, from Grand street
to the west city limits, which met ia
vor at the hands of the city fathers
last Tuesday evening. West Main, al
though the principal street leading
to Pullman and probably the most
travelled, at least during harvest time,
has long been in deplorable condi-
ton, being at times almost impass-
able, and the action of the council
will be the cause of general rejoic-
ing among farmers and townspeople
alike. 1t is the intention of the city
fathers to improve the street with a
standard macadam surface, and
the work will be rushed as fast as
possible to get the street IN Soou con-
dition for the heavy traffic incident
to harvest The vote of the council
was unanimous.
The preliminary resolution cover
ing the improvement was passed by
the council November 4, and pro-
test was filed by several interested
property owners. The large percent
age of the protesters did not oppose
the improvement of the street, but
wanted to ascertain if county aid
could not be secured before proceed
ing with the work. When it was
found that this was impossible many
of the signatures were withdrawn.
