DOG STANDS GUARD.
Faithful Canine Shot Before Officers
Dare Enter Murdered Mans Room.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn.,, July ia
brutal murder has been brought to
light with the discovery of the body
of George Goodale, seated in chair
in his home at Longhill An investiga-
ton showed that Goodale had been
struck over the eye with an ak and on
top of the head with hammer, both
blows crushing the skull.
1t was evident from the state Of the
body and the blood that Goodale had
been dead three days or more. A non
descript dog kept watch over his dead
master and had licked the blood from
the face and hands of the man in an
effort to awaken him. 1t was neces-
sary to shoot the faithful animal be-
fore the officers dared to enter the
room. Both outside doors were locked
and the horse and wagon belonging to
the dead man were missing. Neighbors
assert that $500 and a watch which
Goodale was known to have few days
ago were missing.
Henry Bailey, a brother-in-law OF
Goodale, who had been employed by
the latter for several weeks past, was
seen driving away with the team Fri
day and the officers have not yet been
able to find him.

Geo. N Ha|ey, Pioneer, Deat Near
Prairie City
WAS IN Mlu WALLA IN YEAR 1S47
TOOK PART IN MANY STIRRING
ADVENTURES IN EARLY
DAYS.

The following account of the death
of a Grant county pioneer who crossed
the plains with Marcus Whitman, is
from the Grant County News:
George w. McHaley, one of the
best known and highly respected citi-
zens Of Grant county, passed away
peacefully at his home near Prairie
City yesterday. At his bedside were
gathered all his children, who had
been summoned a few days before
when it became known that his condi-
ton was critical.
Dead of Pneumonia.
The direct cause of Mr.. McHaley's
death was pneumonia, contracted
early last week. While irrigating on
his ranch he had exposed himself to
the water and over-exerted himself
during the extreme heat of the day.
From these causes he was taken
suddenly and seriously ill, and gradu-
ally grew worse until the end came
last Monday morning. Up to the time
of his last sickness, Mr.. McHale had
been in the best of health, strong and
robust and equal to the cares and du-
ties of ranch life, despite his three
score and ten years.
During the three days that he was
sick he recognized and conversed with
those about his bedside, and not until
Sunday did he lapse into unconscious
ness. He expressed a determination
a tn hut hi
years were against him, and he was
unable to ward off the grim monster.

George Washington McHaley was
born in the state of Indiana July II,

he crossed the plains in the famous
party headed by Marcus Whitman in
1843
On reaching the Umatilla river, Mr..
McHaley, with others of the party,
left the main caravan and went to
Oregon City. Whitman and his fol-
lowers went to Walla Walla, where
in 1S47 occurred the Whitman massa-
ere, the horrors of (which are we'll

In the year 1870 deceased came to
Grant county, locating at the present
town of Monmouth. After a residence
there of II years he moved to Prairie
City, where he engaged in stock busi-
ness, acquiring a ranch, which is now
recognized as one of the best in the
John Day valley.

From Death.

Miss Maude Compton, residing on
Reed & Hawley mountain, made a SER

for a time endangered her life, says

Compton home six miles from Weston,
within 20 minutes after receiving an

Rejection OF Unphonetic Words Duty
of Educators.
CHICAGO, July 16.-Dean Wilbur S
Jackman, principal of the elementary
school of the University of Chicago
has declared for simplified spelling.
If the opinion of Dean Jackman goes
for anything, it will not be long be-
fore the Midway school becomes the
pioneer of the movement in America.
1t is the purpose of the head of the
elementary school to make every pupil
of the institution a missionary for the
cause of phonetic spelling.
1.-The most discouraging struggle In
the schoolroom is with the spelling,
said Mr.. Jackman. while it is said
that our children are learning to spell
more words than their elders did in
the days when the spelling book
reigned, the hopelessness of that task
lies in the unphonetic character Of the
language We are dutifully teaching
our pupils to spell correctly, but it is
no part of our intentions to teach them
to respect the traditions that place
upon our shoulders suAh a heavy and
useless burden. l is our ambition, ra-
ther to send every pupil out Of the
school charged with the mission to do
what he can to strengthen and hasten
the work undertaken by the committee
on spelling reform"

Work on the telephone line which
Is to give Pendleton direct long dis
tance connection with Portland, is
now nearing completion, and accord
ing to the local manager, w. D. Bur-
ford, will be in use within a short
time.
When the work was started upon
the direct line it was thought every
thing would be completed by the first
of the year. However, owing to de-
lay in securing material, and other
difficulties that were encountered,
such could not be done. But the
work is now said to be practically
completed, and that the new service
will be in operation within a few
weeks at the most. A special wire
from Portland to Umatilla is being
strung, and it is now placed as far
east as Arlington.
After the above line has been COM
pleted, the long distance service be-
tween here and Portland will be
much improved, as it will no longer
be necessary to secure connection via
Walla Walla.
However, with places east of Pen
dleton, communication is still had in
a roundabout manner. There is no
direct line to this city from the Grand
Ronde valley, as the only line across
the mountains runs to Walla Walla.
However, it is known that the Pacific
States company has been considering
