Gunshot Wound is Mystery
J.B. Slagel of Oroville, who has been at Mrs. Allen's here recovering from a fracture of the leg, was found to be suffering from a gunshot wound, the cause of which he refuses to disclose. The case is one which is forming quite a mystery for local authorities. During the Round-Up week, on Thursday, at an early hour that morning Slagel and a man named Louie Prince, also of Oroville, were driving a Ford truck on the Central Washington highway south from Lind when the car overturned. In the morning a passing motorist found Slagel and summoned some neighboring farmers who brought him to Lind and on up to Ritzville, where he was taken to Mrs. Allen's for treatment.

Burglary investigated at
Washtucna grocery
The Adams County Sheriff's Office was notified of an open door at Washtucna's J & D Grocery at 5:25 a.m. on Oct. 21. The call came from a subject who was taking a walk and noticed that the door was open with a noise coming from inside.
Dep. BJ Moos found that it appeared that the door had been kicked in but there was no longer anyone inside the business. The business owner was contacted and it was determined that at the time the only thing which appeared to be missing was a case of beer. Photos were taken at the scene and an imprint of the ball of a shoe was located on the door.
