Tbe old fellow, in some manner got
aooess to a salmon remnant, an edible
that is deadly poison to the canine
family, and when all remedies failed,
was mercifully chloroformed to put
an end to bis suffering. Not only will
he be missed by bis owner as a pet and
a faithful bunting companion, but tbe
obief charm of the boys' swimming
hole above town will be lost next
summer through his absenoe. Tbe
good housewife will now find the con
tents of the garbage pail intaot and
tbe bacK porches of town residences
will know their early morning visitor
no more.

MOTHER CARRIED HIS PI
Bradshaw, Murderer, Freed On Prom
ise to Work for Parents.
Osoar Bradshaw, who, after being
sentenced . to be hanged for murder,
was lost and forgotten in tbe county
jail at Walla Walla for years, has
again played in luok, for Governor
Mead has granted him a conditional
pardon. In 1903 Bradshaw was con
victed of murder at Pasco. Appeal
was taken to the supreme couit, and
while this was pending Bradshaw was
plaoed in the Walla Walla oounty jail
for safekeeping, there being no fit jail
at Pasco. The appeal was never pushed
and month arier month passed.
County administration changed and
Bradshaw was forgotten. In 1906 in
quiry disolosed the faots. Bradshaw
was taken to Pasoo andsentenoed to be
hanged, Cut before the exeoution date
Governor Mead commuted tbe sen
tence to life imprisonment. In an
nouncing the pardon the governor
gives out a statement whioh says in
part:
"Tbe doubt that the killing was a
premeditated act was so strong that the
trial judge, Frank H. Rudkin, tbe
special proseoutor employed to conduot
the case, Henry J. Snively, 11 of tbe
trial jurors and a large number of tbe
leading citizens of the city ofJPasoo
reoommendel the sentenoe be com
muted from banging toUife imprison
ment. "Bradshaw was but 18 when he
committed the crime and he was un
doubtedly led intothe aot by an older
companion, who escaped with a light
sentence and is now at liberty. Tbe
fact that the father of the young man
was reoeutly injured for life and tbe
boy's assistance is needed for the sup
port of his family and the further fact
that he has been a model prisoner
since bis confinement in the peniten
tiary, weighed in bis favor.
"The terms of the conditional par
don granted expressly provide that
Bradshaw shall apply himself to earn
ing a livelihood for his parents and
that be shall at all times conduot
himself in a proper manner, and in
accepting the conditions he agrees to
be bound by tbe same. The pardon can
be levoked at any time by any gov
ernor of the state if the provisions are
not oomplied with.
"The pardon was given to the
mother of Bradshaw, who left for
Walla Walla to secure the release of
her son and aooompany him baok to
their home at Pasoo."
RAISE MONEY FOB CAR LINE
Much Demand for Capital In Milton-
Free water District.
Tbe rapid sale and development of
the small acre tracts for fruit purpos
es in and about Freewttter and Milton
bas made a great demand for lnouav
in that looality, and the real estate
man and businessman are endeavoring
to looate capitalists there to ease the
market up a trifle, says tbe Pendle
ton Tribune. Tbe fruit lands are on
tbe boom and tbe trolley bas aided
materially in the work of getting new
settlers into that territory. The di
versified farming and gardening wbiob
the small acre traots have oreated is
also beneficial in effects. The business
men in tbeso two towns are actively
endeavoring to interest the Walla
Walla Valley Traotion company in
building another branch line into that
seotion, and a large sum has already
been suDsoiiked for tbe purpose of en-
oonraging the veuture. The Walla
Walla company has assured residents
of the northern part of Umatilla oounty
that this new loop will be built if tbe
sum of $520,000 is subsor ited. Tbe
business men, real estate men and tbe
farmers are all liberal in loaning en
couragement to tbe venture.
