the academy could be had for $40 month

nights since, this man was ordered to leave
the community by masked men. he re-
sisted, and fired at the men who tried to
drive him away. Nothing further was
heard of the matter till Wednesday morn
ing, when Mr.. Acorns was found dead at
his house. The coroner held an inquest
and found that Acorns had been killed by
being beaten on the head with hammer.
No clue exists as to the murderer.

The state horticultural society will hold a
session in this city next month, aud matters
of great interest will be discussed at the
meeting. In this portion of Oregon the
fruit industry is becoming an important
factor of development. and merits the clos

though it was done by Polk county man,
