The cotton crop in Texas has been
planted. Good rains have fallen and it
is expected that two hundred thousand
bales of the new crop will be on the
market during August. So those who
are holding their cotton had better
have an eye to the future.

Some of the papers are devoting col

ED IN THE PHILIPPINE IS
LANDS KNOWN HERE.
Was an Enlisted Man in Company
Was Killed While Attempting
to Get Away From Officers.

Former members of Company L OF
the First Washington regiment of VOL
unteers in Walla Walla will probably
be surprised to learn that Fred john
son. who was recently killed by the
government officers in the Philippines,
was the same Johnson who was pri-
vate in that organization.
The story OF JohnsOn's daring at
tempt to make away with money and
government property was told in the
dispatches from Manila about two
months ago. 1t appears that George
Forman, chief inspector, and Fred
Johnson. constabulary supply officers,
while in the employ of the government
at a small town known as Missamfss,
on Mindanao island took $4,000 in gold
from the safe in their office and after
lapprOpriating to their own use small
and started to go to BOrneO. They
had been out at sea for several days
when their disappearance was dis
covered and a revenue cutter was sent
| in pursuit. When about 100 miles
south of Mhdanao the small Japa-
neSe crew on the boat mutinied and as
a result they were all killed by the
escaping officials. A few days after
the revenue cutter hove in sight and
in order to effect an escape the alb
scOnderS made for Il small cove in one
of the little islands on the route. The
revenue cutter closely followed and
finally came upon them. They es-
capped into the jungles of the island
and for days the revenue officers
hunted for them. They finally located
their men, when a fierce battle ensued
in which Johnson and Forman We're
both killed. They were buried by the
officers who took the small craft they
had stolen back to Missamiss.
Johnson was enlisted in Company l
in July. 1893 at Walla Walla and was
one of the recruits sent to the COM
pany when it was stationed at Fon-
tana warehouse in San Francisco.
Johnson was a quiet unaSSumlng
young man and soon made many
friends among the members of the
company. He proved to be good
soldier, was attentive to his duties
and soon won the admiration of his
officers as an Obedient soldier. When
the company was ordered to the Phil
iDpineS Johnson went with the organ
ization. Being q remarkably good
marksman and very brave and fear
less he was chosen as one of the
scouts of the regiment. He proved to
be one Of the best men in that organ
ization and was specially mentioned
for bravery by Colonel Wholley who
comma nded the regiment.
Johnson was a native of Ohio and
came to Walla Walla several days be-
fore he was enlisted as recruit.
When the Washington regiment was
ordered home from the Philippines to
be mustered out Johnson remained in
the islands, taking on in one of the
volunteer regiments organized in Ma
Mia. At the end Of his enlistment he
was appointed one Of the constabulary
in Manila, and was subsequently
transferred to Mindanao island.
