! Freewater. the little town in Umatil-

place, and the famous "Bozerino" sa-
loon, will soon close it's doors. For Il
years the town of Milton and Free
water have waved a war for suprem-
acy.
Fourteen years ago at an election
in Milton the town carried prohibition.
as has it every election since. Some
of the most bitter ones against the law
decided toi"leave Milton and estab-
lish town of their own. They moved
a mile north, across the railroad, plant
ed orchards, built the foundation for
town and thrived generally. After
the lapse of several years the settle
ment grew enough to warrant the es-
Enlistment of postoffice. Application
was made, and in spite of Millions pro-
tests it secured the office.
Talk of incorporation was started,
and Milton began to realize it had a
rival in the little village. Hundreds
of dollars were spent by both towns
in the effort to incorporate and to pre-
vent Incorporation, but Freewater was
victorious. A rural route was proposed,
and Milton fought with every avail
able weapon without avail. 1t could
not stay the progress of the little VIII
| lage. The soil was too rich, the peo-
pie too progressive and the situation
| too favorable to ever be kept in the
| background. SO the fight has continued
for IA years.
| When the question of local option
| came up, the fight was centered on
Milton and Freewater. especially the
| latter. Rallies were held and can
vases made in hopes of staying the
! liquor traffic in Freewater the same as
Milton. The result is that Freewater
saloons will seek other locations and
| the inhabitants must go dry
Through all of this each town has

ton passengers on the trains hear with
pride the sonorous call of Milton"
while Freewater is ignored by the rail-
road as a station. Freewater points
with pride to her two rural deliveries,

points with pride to her streets, brick

with showing it's new chemical engine

debt, while Milton is several thousand
dollars behind.
Thus has it been since Freewater
started to exist. But when all is done,
fight as they may, envy as they will,

Had Arrested.

Savanna, ILL.,, Sept. 19.-President
Wayland F. Bennett, of the village
board of trustees OF Thompson, ten
miles south of this city, was shot and
killed Saturday by a stranger, whom
he was attempting to place in jail. The
murderer, who gives the name of Will
liam Myers, of Chicago, was captured
by the village marshal after a running
fight of several blocks, in which Myers
was slightly wounded. Myers and q
companion, giving John Johnson as his
name, were arrested on suspicion of be-
ing implicated in burglary at Sedge-
wick, near Thompson. Bennett had
started for the Jail with his charge,
when Myers turned on him, pulled q
revolver and fired five shots into his
body, killing him instantly. (The viii
lage became wild with excitement, and
strong talk Of lynching Myers was
feared, but it subsidized when the sheriff
took charge of the man. Myers was
held without bail, and with his COM
panion, who had no hand in the shoot
ing, IS now in the county jail, at Mount
Carroll.
