Another Pioneer Come

A brief telegram to Thos. Pratber re-
ceived Monday afternoon, announced
the death in Seattle, of Hillory Butler
one OF the pioneer residents of Puget
Sound. He had been i'll since the n il.
die OF last month, when he was found
in his room in an unconscious condi.
ton, from which he was with difficulty
restored. The same night he had sew.
eral occurrences Of the attack, and il
became evident that his condition was
critical. Since then his vigorous
physical nature has prolonged his life
against the decree which has been
written of all flesh. He gradually
grew weaker until the afternoon OF
the Sd at 20, when he passed away
without the slightest struggle.
HillOry Butler was born in Kappa
hammock, Va, March -, 1919, and
can trace his immediate ancestry to
Revolutionary stock. He received a
common school education and lived
on the farm until 1912, when he went
to Lafayette county, Mo-, and was EN-
pioyed as a farm hand. He after.
wards became an Overseer on a plan
tation of 5000 acres with so negroes.
After service of about Is months he
moved on to the Platte Purchase, and
was married to Miss Catherine Hick
man. He engaged in farming until
1919, when with the death of his
faiher-in-law he turned his attention
to settlement of the estate.
In 1852 Mr. Butler and wife crossed
the plains for Oregon in the same
train that Judge Gilmore Hays came
to the Coast. His first experience in
Portland was rs teamster, Judge Davis
furnishing the team, from which a
daily revenue of from $40 to $40 was
available for division.
Several years of Mr.. Buffers early
life, was spent in Olympia, in the
staging business, carrying passengers
from Monticello, on the Cowlitz river
to this place, three days jour
ney, for $25 fare. He afterwards
went to Seattle, where he en-
gagged in the draying business, made
start" and through lucky realty in
vestments, died with a competency
which has supported him comfortably
in his old age.
Mrs. Butler died in 1870, without
children, and so far as is known Mr..
Butler does not leave relative. He
was high Mason and member Of the
M. f. Church.

there seems to be no cessation. The

were too hasty, and being confused did
not know the nature of the amendments
they voted for.
The consequence was that a recon-
sideration of the vote on several amend
ments was taken today. The most inn
portant being one eXempting railroad

mously opposed, and this class of prop

The Acton Inrestigation.

The investigation of charges against
OHicer Harry G. Acton, began here to-
day before the County Commissioners.
Mr.. CAN'T, counsel for Acton, contend
ed that the County Commissioners could
not make examination of the charges.
First, because the law provided 40 way
for the County Commissioners to sum
mon or swear witnesses; second, because
the charges were fer acts private and not
official: third, that the Commissioners
had no power to remove, because the law
gave them none. Mr.. Munroe, counsel
for the Law and Order Society, contend
ed against these propositions at some
length.
The Board called upon Mr.. Robt. Moss,
their counsel, for an opinion on the ques-
tions. He said the Board could inyesti-
gate the charges, but they would have to
settle the matter whether they could re-
move or not. The Board went into ex-
ecutive session, aud when they came out
decided they would go on with the in
VestigatiOn, beginning with the testimo-
ny of John III. Gise.

the bay besides. The Governor return
ed to Annapolis on an early train this
morning.
