Kinney, Wanlitnma Farmer, Tells of Conditions. M. M. Kinney, well known to many old time Walla Wallana. Is in the city from Washtucna. where he Is engaged In farming on a large scale, says the Walla Walla Statesman. Mr. Kinney was called as a witness In a land con test case being heard at tlie Walla Walla land office today. "The Washtucna country proved this year that it Is one of tlie fore most wheat producing sections of the state," Mr. Kinney said this morning. Thirty bushels to the acre was the av erage yield and In many sections It was even better. Ijand can be bought In the Washtucna country for 120 an acre, but the farmers are loth to sell, although many bought their land five years ago anywhere from II. IS to $5 an acre. This gives an Indication of the rise of values In that section. STUDENTS RESEXT INSULT. Illsrh School Is Wholly In Sympairty Wtdi Faculty and Will Abide h Rule.

The sludeitts are In hearty sympa thy with the faculty and all the school lules are cheerful!) obeyed by the body of studeirrts.

LAWSUIT OVER A MULE. Case Goes to Circuit Court on Appeal From Echo. "A certain dark bay mare mule," has been the source of more litigation between two Echo men than Is usual ly caused by n whole hand of such animals.

Ward vs.'J, T and Buried Beneath the Engine Wrecked Cars. . . flash as It turned Just before the train struck the switch. The dead fireman Is H. L. Butts, aged S3, of Fresno. The engineer. Cole, recently averted a wreck of the southbound owl which took a switch at Kingsburg, by sticking the throttle and utopplng the train. Today's wreck was evidently caused by the same miscreant. The sheriff nnd a posse are scour ing the country for the man. who Is said to be known to the railroad. 1 The name of the hobo Is William Knickerbocker, aged 19, from Mis souri. He was asleep behind the oil tank and regained consciousness In ! the hospital. He Is severely bruised j and his spine Injured. G. Richardson, and the transcript from the Justice's court at Echo has Just been filed with the county clerk, so as to bring the case up In the cir cuit court on an appeal. In the complaint It Is stated that the particular mule was the property of the plaintiff, whs branded on the left thigh with a "W." and was valued at .125. Whether he'- name was Maud or something tine equally amiable. Is not stated. The defendant Is accused of having, on or about the first of Sentember. 1904. "unlHufnittr mnr. I fully and forcibly taken the mule from the plaintiff, to the latter's loss." The case was tried out In the Jus tice's court at Echo and there won by the plaintiff, the costs In witness fees and other charges being 147.50. How ever, the defendant was evidently un willing to give up so easily, and the matter has now been taken to the cir cuit court on appeal. The transcript from the justice's court makes a dock et covering 24 pages. WAS A GREAT Sl tX ESS. Pronounced of Uiei Closing Day of the ExpoNltlnn. According to Pendleton people who attended the closing of the fair Satur day night that event was a great cele bration In spite of the rain which pre vailed during the day and evening. In speaking this morning of the closing scenes, Roy Raley, who came home last night, said: "An unusually large crowd was out dciplte the bad weather, and all seemed to be In good humor and turn ed themselves loose. However, no real dlsotder occurred, for as soon as any one became boisterous he would be taken to the stockade by the guards. On the Trail and at other places groups of students and other people gathered, yelled, sang and otherwise showed their appreciation of the occa sion. - It wa the actions of these groups and the behavior of the people In general that furnished the chief at traction on that night."
