TEAM AND BUGGY
STOLEN AT BADGER
Bass Team and Nick Alfonso,s
Buggy Figure in High FL
nance Transactions

Nick Alfonso returned from Fort
Lawton Tuesday to find that someone
had broken into his homestead cabir
near Badger and stolen most of his
belongings. His buggy, harness, bed
ding and several other articles were
missing.
Nick will be able to recover his
harness and buggy as they are now in
the possession of the Yakima county
sheriff and the man who took them is
! in the county Jail The following
story of his arrest is told in the Yak
ina Republic:
From noon yesterday till close to the
hour. of midnight Sheriff s. r.. Hutch
inson, aided part Of the time by VIM.
Broas, pursued Eugene Biart, whose
trail of high finance, to which he later
confessed, led from Badger, Benton
county, to Yakima and involved deals
in horses, harness, COW, Liberty
bonds, cash and an automobile. It
took Broas most of this forenoon to
straighten ont the financial tangle.
On Friday, according to the story
Biart told in the presence of five Of
ficers, Biart brought the team of
horses, stolen at Badger, to Yak
ina and sold them to Nelson Nc
Intyre. He received $50 cash, $50
Liberty bond and COW. Later he re-
sold the cow to w. E. Long result,
another $50 Liberty bond. The bonds,
plus cash, were used to buy an e. M.
F. used car, being the first payment
for it, made to H. R. Deebach. The
horses were stolen from II. L. Bass,
404 West G street, who had been using
them in the lower valley, and were
readily identified.
After the sheriff and his associates
had trailed Biart for almost 12 hours,
they caught him in rooming house,
where he and his. young wife, slip of
of a girl, were planning the ride they
would take in their new car. He had
signed receipts for his various fnan-
cial transactions with fictitious names,
the officers say.
One was signed "B. H. Shepard"
When Deputy Broas asked him to
write "B. M. Shepard" and then held
the paper out to him, saying, "Seel
that? It's exactly like the other sig
nature saw, that you had made on
that sale," the prisoner objected.
ooh, no." he insisted, tsthe other
name was B. H. Shepard" After that
there was nothing to it but to get de-
tailed confession, and Biart at once
announced his intention to plead guilty
to the charge of grand larceny which |
will be brought against him.

Friday and Saturday

The Kenncwick high school team
has been awarded the basketball
championship of the Yakima Valley
and is one of the eight teams which
viii compete at the State College this
week for tho championship Of the
state.
The team, escorted to the N. p.

hardly expect to bring back the state

can at least get into the semi-fnals.
The teams which will compete in the
annual tournament are WalIa Walla,
Pullman, North Central (Spolane),
Chewelah, Spangle, Edwall, Belling-
ham and Kennewiclz. Final selections
were made by the interscholastic COM
mittee.
The tournament will open Friday
afternoon at o'clock, when the eight
teams will draw lots for opponents
in the preliminary contests. The first.
game will be called at 2:3O in the af-
telnoon. Friday evening the remain
ing four teams will play, the four
winners 10 be saduanced to the semi
finals Saturday afternoon, when two
games will be played. Saturday eve
ming the unbeaten teams will compete
for the state championship.
In order to speed up the tournament
the playing period will be cut to 15-
minute halves.
While the committee had some dif-
fculty in selecting the district winners
from comparative scores, there was
no question as to Kennewick's right
to the championship of the Yakima
Valley, where she has an unbeaten re-
cord The local teams record for the
season follows:
