JURY FINDS THOMAS
GOODWIN NOT GUILTY

A jury in the Superior Court at
Prosser early Tuesday morning
brought in a verdict of acquittal in
the case of the State of Washington
against Thomas Goodwin, charged
with second degree assault.
The case grew out of controversy
between o. B. Gwin and Mr.. Good
win over the ownership of some hume
lumber and wood pipe, the alleged
assault occurring last May on the
Goodwin place north of town. Fol-
lowing discussion of the matter,
Mr.. Goodwin ordered Mr.. Gwin off
the place and emphasized his demand
by discharging shot gun. Mr. Gwin
swore that the gun was aimed at him
from an estimated distance of between
is and 100 feet and that he was
struck in the back by several of the
shots. Mr.. Goodwin testified that he
fired one shot but that the gun was
pointed up in the air and that the
shot was fired with the intent of scar
ing Mr.. Gwin. There were no eye
witnesses to the alleged assault and as
the testimony of Mr.. Gwin and Mr.
Goodwin was in direct conflict. the
jury was compelled to choose between
the two. The jury was out about six
hours and according to one of their
number the balloting stood II to /
tor acquittal, almost from the first
ballot.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. B. Gwin, clate
Grewell, c. I. Wright, Mrs. Thomas
Goodwin and E. j. O'Larey were call
ed as witnesses in the case.

SHIP TURKEYS PARCEL POST

A great many turkeys have been
going out this week from White
Bluffs by parcel post to Coast points
for the Thanksgiving trade, although
the peak of these shipments will not
be reached until Monday morning of
next week. From present indications,
the number of turkeys raised in the
valley this year will equal if not ex-
coed that of other years and the price
promises to be very good. Only a
certain percentage of the turkeys will
go out for Thanksgiving, most of the
