A merry war among the local retail groceryineu is threatened if the Schwabacher company does not join the Grocers' Association. There are about 80 retail grocers in Walla Walla and they all belong to the association with the exception of. ttfe Schwabacher company.

The garrison refrained from firing on the enemy during the sinking of the vessel, because they did not desire to draw a bombardment. Fleet leaves Nlclnltjr. Seoul, April 25. Late reports from Gensan state that the Vladivostok fleet has disappeared. of the - Rigby-Clove combine will be discontinued with the possible excep tion of the finishing of two machines now under course of construction. If the Rigby-Clover company is recognized it will probably go to Portland as Mr. Clove is now in Portland investigating the propositions which have been made by capitalists from that end. It is un derstood that the attempt to reorganize it in Pendleton was- given up on account of the lack of interest manifested by local capital and as Portland offered more money for the business young terror shot him through the neck. ..''.'.

As Keady was attempting to break away from . the sheriff, with his gun pointed at the sheriff's face, Sheriff Burnett shot' him through the head, killing him instantly.

One of the creditors will get as his share just $3.01, which is a few plunks less than $50. All the creditors who had implicit faith in the cashier, will find that 6 per cent, confidence is better than none at all. The number of creditors is sixty-nine.

The committee of arrangements for the Tenth Annual Reunion of the Ore gon Pioneers of Umatilla County, to be held at Weston June 2-3-4, met at the real estate office Monday evening. Geo. W.

The arrangements committee consists of chairmen of the several committees, who selected their assistant committee men. It was decided that an Old Fiddlers' contest, to be held the first day, June 2, should be one of the reunion features. S. A. Barnes, Clark Wood and W. S. Price were appointed as a special com mittee to conduct this feature. Old fiddlers desiring to take part will please notify the committee. 8CALPED THE "INJUNS."

They have been strengthened to some extent, and with constant prac tice, should be able to put up a stiff game of ball. The team plays Milton today on the Milton grounds for a purse of $20. The Indians will be here again soon the date being Sunday, May 8.
