The tangled web of speculation
surrounding the famous hold up Of
John C. O'Grady, the famous political
pivot of two parties was unraveled
bv Sherlock Salisbury when he got
on the scent of the track leading to- no
other than the person of Vern Sachow.
Vern admitted his part IN the cpl
sode. told Salisbury the whole story,
appeared before Judge Olson and
pIead guilty to a complaint charging
him with malicious mischief and was
sentenced to ten days in Jail which
sentence the Judge suspended on the
promise of good behavior in the fut-
1re. Vern afterwards confded to the
Judge that he did the deed with a
catsup bottle filled with chOkecherry
vine of which they intended to give
them a sip.

John Charles O'Grady into a Carrie
Nation, and inspired him to file a
complaint against a fellow by the
name of Gordon charging him with
highway burglary, and then after he
had cleared himself of that charge,
to dramatically rise up in court and
file another complaint against him,
charging him with gambling, TO which
Gordon plead guilty paying a fine OF
a hundred bones, and persuaded that
local statesman to make a complaint
against his old college chums, George
Wright and John Bowler, charging
them with being open after hours, and
other activities to which they plead
guilty and paid a fine cf 80 bones,
that ended in clapping the lid down

SUMMERS SAYS
IT'S THE BUNK

CONGRESSMAN John w. Summers

while making tour over the Yak
ina project of which Mr.. Lytle is
manager. Mr.. Kyle, who for years
has been president of the Oregon Ir-
rigation. Institute, seemed much inn
pressed with the valley.
Mr.. Summers, discussing the last
congress- said there was not nearly
as much conflict between the pres
ident and congress as the country
had been led to believe. He said the
difference over the bonus question
was simply caused by the fact that
most of the congressman believed in
and had been elected to congress on
a pledge to support the bonus bill.
Mr.. Summers, who was chairman
of the special committee that had
charge Of the McNary-H augen bill.
seemed much disappointed over the
fate i6f that measure, and believes It
would have passed and now be a
law but for the opposition of the La
Toilette Yorces in the house, thus Civ
ing thes democrats an excuse to vote
overwhelmingly against the measure.

BILLY'S WIFE is
A GOOD MATE

Kennewick was this week treated
to the novelty of wife campaigning
for her husband, when Mrs. w. G..
Potts of Seattle arrived in our city
and told the voters what a splendid
and capable man she had married.
Furthermore spoke with great sin
cerity and convinced many local vot-
ers that she was telling the truth.
Her husband, w. G., better known
as Billy Potts, has had an interest
ing career, starting as bell-boy in
the old Diller Hotel and working his
way up until he is now manager Of
the Arctic Hotel in Seattle. In the
meantime, however, Mr.. Potts has
been q state senator, chairman Of
the state board of control and warden
of the penitentiary at Walla Walla.
Mr.. Potts is now q candidate for
state treasurer and if his wife visits
many towns of the state, will surely
be elected.

Livengood, "Whitman county is pay-
ing $4,000 year; Yakima is pay
ing $4,000 year. Other counties
are paying in proportion to make up
this $21 100000 for Seattle. Seattle,
like ancient Rome, is levying tribute
on every other section of the state"
The Bone Bill, Initiative Meas
ure No. So, is designed by Seattle
politicians to impose an additional
load of taxation on the remainder of
the state, according to Mr.. Liven-
good. The bill provides for the re-
moval of more and more property
from the tax rolls, with a correspond
ing and unnecessary increase of the
tax burden elsewhere and on all other
classes of property.
Seattle might as well come out in
the open," declared Mr.. Livengood.
"When property is taken off the tax
rolls the property that remains bear
a higher tax. Appeals for tax relief
come from every part of the state; yet
all parts Of the state are now asked
to aid Seattle In the removal of
more property from the tax ROLLS,
which means a direct and immediate
increase of their own taxes. Keep
this up and we will soon be driven to
new kinds Of taxes, as well as to the
sacrifice Of property on which taxes
have become too high to be paid"

KEENAN, TELLS A GOOD ONE

While in Kennewicle the other day
Fred Keenan,. candidate for lieuten-
ant governor. was having lunch with
his old legislature associates, M. M.
Moplton, and Gordon Moores, Fred a
famous story teller, pulled this one:
"A young candidate for the legis-
latuEe stopped at q farm house, and
after = little talk with the farmer,
got the promise Of his vote, and
started to leave. Wait minute,
said the farmer, How do you feel
about liquor?'
"The young candidate, looking up
brightly, asked: "Ts it an inquiry or
m invitation?'
The story reminded a local GER
tleman, sitting next to Mr.. Moulton,
to tecite a similar experience.
