Mr.. Hayden. The boy was soon To-
Gated and taken to Jail. He had Meth
err the watch or revolver in his pos
session and fatty denied haven taken
the watch. The gun he said he had
sold to some campers near the docks
for 35 cents.
After being closely questioned he
finally admitted that he had hid N
the watch under tree about 5 mil IS
down the valley. He led the officers
to the tree and the watch was recov-
cred. The campers were located and
gave up the revolver. The lad then
admitted he had stolen the bicycle,
saying that he knew the owner by
sight but did not know his name. He
still insists, however, that he found
the gun in the road.
The boy said his father and mother
were both living but divorced. The
father works in meat market in
Pendleton and the mother lives in

The Walla Walla police were noti-

had not been reported. The Walla
Walla county sheriff arrived today
and took the youthful fugitive back to
that city.

full of the responsibilities.
Months of thought and effort have

has been no Sinking or stipting be-
cause this preliminary. work was not
accepted as task, but as an oppor-
tunity to please $4,000 people it
is an inspiring responsibility to plan
enjoyment for $4,000 people. There
fore, there was determination not
to "fall down on the job"
And now, with many of the plans
worked into realities, we are confident
that there will be no disappointment
at Washington State Fair.
We are certain that you will find
unusual enjoyment when you visit the
state fair, because you will find a
wider variety of attractions and inn
provements ALI along the line. Wash
ington state fair, 1920, will be better
than in any previous year-more edu-
cative, more entertaining, more rep
resentative of Washington.
