Pitiable Tale of Minnie Wllloughby,
Now In Jail In Portland.
Tho 13-year-old girl, Minnie Wll
loughby, who wbb taken to Portland
Saturday by United States Marshal
A. A. Roberts, on a' charge of rob
bing the United States mall boxes
near Ifllgard, ot packages of dress
goods, has aroused tho sympathies of
Judge, Jailer and officials,
She has lived with tho family of a
sheepherder named Wilkinson for
some time, and her training has been
utterly neglected. She was poorly
dressed and Illy cared for and the
tempting packages of merchandise ly
ing unguarded in the mall boxes
were more than she could bear. Her
father is said to reside at Camas
Prairie and her mother at one time
lived In Pendleton.
The child was forced to herd eht-np
and when Marshal Roberts found her,
she was on the range tending a umw
of Bheep.
The case will be heard before Judge
Bellinger this arternoon

Manila, May 12, Captain Pershing
and his -coIumnyhavo returned to
Camp Vickars, Mindlnao, from the ex
pedition through the country east of

that of the district at 100,000. He
says the population of the I-ake La
nao district has been underestimated.
Four natives have been found guilty

Second Artesian Well In the Inland

Well Will Be Drilled to Greater
Depth.
Walla Wnlla. May 12. A llow ot
nrtcslnn water was yesterday after
noon struck on the Illalock fruit farm,
west of tho city.
Tho vein was tapped at a depth ot
550 feet, and tho water gushed out
nt tho rate of 50 gallons per mlnuto
from n six-Inch plpo.
Most remarkable was the dlscovory
thnt tho water loft tho ground at n
temperature of 70 degrees, or tem
perate,
W, 8. McCauslnnd, In chargo of tho
drilling crow, had beon at work for
two months, and had passed through
n variety of Blrata, somctimcH of such
a hard naturo ns to almost stop oper
ations. "This accomplishment," as a pio
neer remarked last night, "meanH
more for agriculture and horticulture
In Walla Walla county, and tho
whole of Eastern Washington and
Oiegon, for that matter, than any
other previous development of bld
den resources,
"For 36 or 40 years," continued tho
pioneer, "scientists and ngilcultural
IstH have been endeavoring to obtain
water from tho suhtcrrnnenn depths.
It Is now demonstrated that artesian
water can bo had for tho drilling, nnd
It will undoubtedly ruvnlutlnnlzo agri
culture and horticulture In tho rich
est soil section of the world."
Tho crew nt the Blalock tiirm will
not stop drilling at 550 feet, but will
go farther In Iho endeavor to secure
an even grentor llow.
Only one artesian well had prnvl
ously been struck In tho Inland Um
pire, thnt on tb ti Hpofford farm, but
Its flow Is InslKnlflcnnt compared with
thnt of the well Just developed on tho
Illalock fruit farm,
It Is believed that tho tempera
ture of tho water In tho new well will
bo especially desirable for Irrigation
purposes.
