to arrange for one of the most novel and
spectacular exhibitions ever produced in

particular interest to the people of Walla

supposed crimainal will attempt toescape.
Harry Draper will arrive on the scene

the performance will be made as interest
ing and realistic as an actual man hunt
Mr. Draper is training his dogs for this

the crowd the worth of their money.

SARTOES HELD OVER
Clyde Santoes must appear b?fore the
circuit court to a 'swer for his actions of
the past week. Dur nghis tra yes.er
day his bride's parents testified that he
had not sought thiir permission in marry
ing the girl, and their main objection is
that the girl is not sixteen. The law of
Oregon specifies that unless a girl is six
teen or over, it is an offense to take her
away from her parert.f r marriage, and
it is upon this charge that the young man
is held. There is no question but that
they were legally married, as the county
cle1 k and officiating minister both testi
fied to this. The complai ting witnesses
seem to have a spite against the young
man and say they will fight it through.
The bride, though, affirmed that sne
would remain loyal to her husband no
matter what happened. The bonds for
the young man's appearance were placed
as low as possible and were quickly taken
up by frendsof the boy. who appear to be
numerous.
Had Clyde wa ted three months longer
his troubles would have been considerably
less as the girl would then have been six
teen. The outcome of the matter is looked
for by many who sympathize with' the
boy.
