WASHINGTON CLAIMS
 MOST ANCIENT MULE

WALLA WALLA, Nov. g. - The State of Washington claims the oldest mule living. She brays to the name of "Jessie," and according to the closest reckoning possible, she is at least thirty-three years old.
 Jessie" was brought to the Walla Walla Valley in 1893 by the Federal Government, where she was used as one of team of six to haul freight from the city of Walla Walla to Fort walla Walla- She served within a year of three terms of army enlistment, being "honorably discharged" from the army service when Fort Walla Walla was abandoned as military post in 1910.
 The remainder of her years she has spent at the State Penitentiary here, but not as a prisoner" She hauls a dumpcart, driven by negro trusty.
 It is figured that since the Fed eral Government never buys a mule under four years of age, Jessie" can not have lived less than thirty-three summers.
