Douglas Glenn, well known in PEN
dleton and vicinity, where he worked
for many years, and from which place
he went with Co. d, Second Oregon
volunteers during the Spanish war,
was found dead in a cabin on Mckay
creek this morning.
For some time past Glenn had been
employed on the A. NJ. Isaacs place on
Mckay, and he lived in a cabin about
mile and a half from the Isaacs
home. Yesterday members of the
family tried to reach him by phone
but failed to do so. This morning
some of them went to the cabin to in
vestigate and found him dead. The
coroner was at once notified and at
10 o'clock this morning Mr.. Cantrell,
of the Baker & Folsom undertaking
parlors and Deputy Sheriff Joe Blake
ley, left for the scene.
Probably Heart Failure.
After their arrival at the place
Deputy Blakeley 'phoned that the cir
cumstances surrounding the case
showed that death had come from a
natural cause, presumably heart fall
violence of any kind and nothing to
indicate suicide.
AS the deceased was in town Satur-
day afternoon it is evident that he died
either some time yesterday or Satur-
day night. While here Saturday he
seemed in good health and spirits, ac-
cording to those with whom he dealt
while in town.
He Was n Soldier.
Douglas Glenn was born in Iowa in
the year 1862, according to the Off
cial roster of the Second oregon regi-
ment of which he was a private in Co.
d. recruited from Pendleton and La
Grande. He came to this place in the
early nineties from Union county,
where he has many relatives living.
He was related to the Rineharts of
Union county, James Rinehart of
Sommerville. being an uncle. He also
has a sister living near La Grande and
numerous other relatives in the Grand
Ronde valley.
On first coming to this place Glenn
worked three years for Dave Horne
on the latter's Mckay creek ranch.
Afterward he worked for Hamilton e
Rourke, and also for 7. G. HALEY be-
fore going to work for Mr. Isaacs.
For several years he was janitor of
the high school building.
The deceased was also a member OF
Damon lodge No. 4, Knights of Pyth-
las. and Immediately after learning Of
his death, Roy Raley, chancellor COM
mander, took steps to care for the re-
mains and have the funeral in accord
ance with the wishes of the relatives
in Union county, who have been noti-
fled.
Among those who knew him here
the dead man was well liked and was
regarded as an honest, hard working
man. He was popular with the school
children while janitor, and while here
Saturday asked Donald RAIDER, son of
NJ. A. RAIDER, to go to the ranch with
him for fishing trip. However, the
boy could not go.
No Inquest Held.
shortly before 3 o'clock this after
noon the body of Glenn was brought
to town from the Isaacs place and 10
now at the Baker & Folsom undertake
ing parlor. No inquest was held at
the cabin, as Justice Miller, of Pilot
Rock who was at the scene, declared
such to be unnecessary. Coroner
Ralph Folsom was in the mountains
at Meacham this forenoon and so dio
not go to the house.

With silent tread, their bronzed feet
deep in the dust, native Martinicans
pass you by, carrying huge baskets Of
mangoes, citrons and bananas on their
heads. Sometimes a grayish mongoose
darts swiftly across the road, running
from one thicket to another hunting
snakes. which now steal down from the
slopes of Carbet and hide among these
ruins. And these today are the only in
habitants of St. Pierre. Save for the
splashing Of the waves and the sound
of an occasional falling stone, the still
ness is unbroken. Never so much as q
bird song enlivens this infinitely lonely
waste.
Turning to the right, we pass the tall
ruins of the cathedral, which seems
likewise struggling with the vegetation
that holds it locked in it's embrace. We
cross the cemetery, lately cleared of
rubbish. whose long, fiat, white slabs
seem absolutely ironical in this i'm
mense potter's field. A strange city,
where those who died long ago are thus
privileged and where, alone possessed
of graves, they still keep them.
By a beautiful zigzag road, now OBJ
structed by brambles and climbing
vines, we reach the summit Of the
Morne d Orange. AS it faces Mont
Pelee and overhanging the sea and the
city, this hilltop gives us panoramic
view-the best possible-of Saint
