Pursued by Neiahbors

While running through the streets
Stephen was pursued and fired upon
several times by neighbors, but did
not return the shots. He was not hit,
so far as is known. A thousand per-
sons were watching the shed from a
distance.
Sheriff Carter and Marshal Boyd ar
rived here this afternoon from Rock
vile after hard drive across the
country. The two officers approached
the shed where Stephen Sylvester was
concealed and called upon him to sur
render.
After a moments hesitation he said
he would surrender if he was assured
safety This assurance was given and
Sylvester opened the door, stepped out
and locked it after him. He then sur
rendered and accompanied by the two
officers started for Rockville to be
locked in Jail.

MONTEzUMA, Ind, May 1O-W, H
Sylvester, president of the First Ma

and killed at noon today in his home
by his brother, whose mind is believed
to be affected.
Stephen Sylvester. the brother who
did the shooting was injured several
days ago by fall, and his mind has
been affected since. Stephen ran from
the hous to his own home and took
refuge in shed recently built by him
with an iron roof and wooden walls
eight inches thick.
In this he had placed a number OF
revolvers, rifles and ammunition. He
entrenched himself inside, shouting
through the door that he would never
be taken alive.

CHAUTAUQUA HAS DEFICIT.
Willamette Valley Association Is S225O
Behind.

The board of directors of the Will
lamottc valley Chautauqua associa-
ton, at the meeting held in this city
UNANIMOUSLY recommended that the
present corporation be dissolved, and
that the present assets of the associa-
ton he sold to an organization to be
formed for the purpose of carrying
out the aims and work of the present
association, says the oregon City Star.
Thts recommendation is, in the
opinion of the men who have the best
interest of the Chautauqua at heart
the only solution of the problem of
paying the deficit of s2250, and con-
tihuing the assembly.
The causes of the big deficit accu-
muated during the last two years, has
heretofore been given in the Star.
Last years deficit was covered by the
directors advancing $3.50 each from
F1heir own pockets, This of course they
could not be expected TO do indefi-
nitely.
The plan for placing fne assembly
on a sound financial basis includes
| the formation CT a new company OF
$4,000 capital stock divided1lnto s2t
shares. The assets of the oWassocis-
ton are to be taken over by the new
company for the amount of the pres
ent Indebtedness.

TOM WATSON QUITS.
Famous Georgia Politician No Longer
Edits Watson's Magazine.
4 snecial from New York saws:

A special from New York says:
A quarrel among stockholders of
Watson's magazine has led to the res
ignation of Thomas f. Watson, who
founded the publication about IS
months ago, and who has been editor
in chief from the first. Mr.. Watson
has severed all connection with the
magazine, and will devote himself TO
his literary work at his home in Geor-
gia.
Colonel w. d. Mann of unsavory
Town Topics fame, is the chief stock
holder in the Watson's Magazine cor
poration, and it was through him that
the publlcist quit the editorial chair.
Mr.. Watson had a dispute about
money due him from his magazine.
He tried hard to collect. When he
asked for his money Colonel Mann
criticised the magazine.
Mr.. Watson is a fiery little man,
who loves a fight. He found himself
helpless in a fight with Colonel Mann
however, for the colonel had the ad-
vantage of the majority of stock,
while Major Watson owned only about
one-fifth. The determination of Mr..
Watson to write no more for the mag
azine will put 1t in a different position
for a time. 1t may be that Mr.. Wat
son will decline to permit the maga-
zine to furnish the serial publication
of his new book, "The Life and Times
of Andrew Jackson" which has been

was considered to be poor land, and

Kittitas from 44,414 acres to 157,46S

In 1896 the Palouse residents had
an idea that most of their arabic
lands were in cultivation, but land
then thought valueless, when broken
up and cultivated, was found to pro-
duce fine wheat crops, and in the 10
years her farm acreage increased
from 645,S95 acres to 1,162,616, the

GROWTH OF WASHINGTON.
Great Increase in Area of Cultivated

Probably in no way is the marvellous
growth and development of Washing

says a dispatch from Olympia.
For instance, 10 years ago the acre
age of improved lands in the state
was 2,21l,162.
The 1906 roll shows that lands un-

the comparisons in this article the
figures of the counties have been

STORY OF PIONEER CHURCHES.
First Presbyterian Church in Eastern
Oregon Organized at Weston.

Oregon Organized ut Weston.
A pioneer PRESBYTERIAN gives the
following statistics relative to the Or
ganization OF Presbyterian churches in
eastern Oregon and Washington:
In June. 1877, Revs. F.. n. Condit,
Thomas NJ. Boyd and Robert Boyd,
graduates of Princeton college, and
Princeton theological seminary, ar
rived in this city. 1t was decided that
Mr.. Condit should remain here with
the view of establishing Presbyter-
ian church in this town, II possible.
but after preaching few times in
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
and without taking any steps to or
ganize, he went to Astoria, Ore, and
became pastor of the church in that
place.
Rev. r. NJ. Boyd went as far south
as Boise. Idaho, and Rev. Robert
Royd went to Colfax but on learning
of the departure of Mr.. Condit, re-
turned to Walla Walla. He secured
the use OF the upper room Of the old
court house, which was reached by a
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-10-16

flight of stairs from the outside of the
building, and whose floor was usually
covered with three inches of sawdust.
The old building stood on the cor
ner of Third and Alder streets, where
the brewery now stands, and here the
First Presbyterian church of Walla
Walla was organized by Mr.. Boyd on
Sunday, November II, 1897, with 19
members and with Peter Zahne as
ruling elder. Nearly all of the char
ter members, five of whom were men
and IA women. have joined the church

this city, Mesdames Walter Robinson.

San Erancisco's Population.

July l the authorities for statistical
purposes estimated it at S25,O00. The
most conservative admit that it will
reach 100000 by January l. 1907. This
goes far to explain the large trade the
city is showing with its own and its
suburban population. Isador Jacobs
president CT the California Canneries,
saws that the city has spread to such
an extent that to rebuild the burnt
district will require a population OF
perhaps 20 per cent increase over the
population which existed at the time
of the fire in April. This would mean
a total of $4,000 people, and will
easily be reached within the next three
years.
