Thieves Corralled After Long Horse-Theft Ring Bust
Deputy Painter and three prisoners arrived at the Walla Walla courthouse at dawn after a high speed chase from Wallula, ending months of police work. The captured group includes Paul Kroger 22 and J A McIntyre 80 arrested in Burns Oregon, and John Tycke 45 plus his sons John Tycke Jr 19 and Richard Tycke 16 seized in Wallula. Police say five men tied to a major ring stole about 800 horses from Wall Walla, Umatilla and Benton counties, with at least three carloads moved. The case marks the culmination of extensive investigations by Sheriff James Haviland and his force.

Locked Boxes to Replace Call Boxes at Athena Post Office
Beginning April first the Athena post office will inaugurate a new departure with 66 lock boxes replacing call boxes. Postmaster Githens bought two sections of 130 boxes but 65 will be installed now. Lobby hours extend to 8 10 every evening and all day Sunday allowing mail retrieval anytime. General delivery on Sundays will be limited to one hour from 9 to 10 pm until Monday morning. The aim is to abolish the call box system and issue keys to lock boxes to regular patrons, restricting general delivery to transient patrons.
