Have Not Drawn Their Pau For
Several Months
ARE STANDING OFF THEIR GRocERs
DILEMMA CAUSED THROUGH
FAILURE OF MISS NELSON
TO TURN OVER FUNDS

Town officials at Kendrick in order
to subsist are compelled to stand off"
their grocers and meat dealers and
some of them their landlords.
This is the existing state of affairs
in that thriving little town. The Off
Gals have not drawn pay for several
months and have been literally cup
against the real thing" Not that the
town treasury is exhausted and there
is no money with which to meet the
expense Of maintaining officials, but
this situation is brought about by the
fact that every cent belonging to it is
tied up because Of the persistency of
Miss Anna E. Nelson, former town
treasurer, in refusing to turn over the
funds which were in her possession at
the time she was deposed The stu
alton will remain unchanged until
Judge Steel passes on the writ of
mandate which is to be heard Sep

TRAIN DEMolsHfs sPEEDER
VIM. Stevenson and Son Have Narrow
ESCAPE in WaIlula Railroad Yards
Wednesday.

Wallula Gateway: What came near
being a fatal accident was narrowly
escaped in the o. R. & N. yards last
night. VIM. Stevenson and his three
boys were riding home on a speeder
and did not observe the Pendleton
train backing up to the Wallula de-
pot. Passengers shouted warnings
just in time for the father to hurl his
sons to safely, but he was struck on
the jaw and rendered unconscious for
some time. The speeder was demol-
ished. So long as the o R. & N. is
negligent in lighting the yards proper
ly. there is constant danger to the
lives of our citizens
By the breaking Of an axle five
freight cars loaded with wheat were
derailed on the o. r. & N. near Two
Rivers Tuesday morning. Two of the
cars were demolished and the track
was badly torn up for a distance of
300 yards. A wrecking train at Star
buck was sent for and had the road
open for traffic Tuesday evening.

BARNES MURDER STILL A MYSTERY
BeIIingham Officer, After Two Years
Search Practically Abandon
The Case.

BELLINGHAM, Sept. Sunless the
murderers of Frederick L Danes, the
butcher who was most brutally killed
in his shop on Elk street about two
years ago are captured, the case will
soon sink into oblivion and be forgot
ten Since the mans tragic ending
there has BEEN considerable dickering
over the disposal of his estate Of
$6,519, but the matter was finally
wound up in the superior court this
morning when the report of admins
traitor Dr. H. Thompson was accepted
and the estate turned over to the
dead mans step sister, Anna Freder-
lex Wilhouser, of Milwaukee. The adj
ministrator and his attorneys were
allowed compensation in the sum of
1924 each.
The murder of Frederick L. Danes
corded in the annals of the state of
Washington. The room where Danes
slept was entered in the night by one
or more persons who killed him with
fiendish cruelty.
The fiends had not only used a
meat cleaver, but hammer and knife
as well, and before leaving the mutt
lated body put the finishing touches
to their devilish work by driving a
corpse. a.

Old Methods Succeed.

1t has been claimed that old methods
OF doing business cannot succeed in
this twentieth century of ours, but a
striking example of where old manners
have been and are yet successful may
be found in the busiest city OF the world
New York. Right in the heart Of
the wholesale district may be found u
restaurant that is feeding more people
every day of the year than any other
house in New York City, and doing it
along the line of old methods"
1t is claimed for this famous eating
house that every pound OF food used
Is paid for in cash upon the day it ia
purchased and that the proprietors
have never yet given a check in pay
ment for supplies. nor owed one dollar
at the close OF the day, and they keep
no books.
Each morning the dealers supplying
this remarkable establishment deliver
the necessary goods at the receiving
department and then form in a line
leading to the cashiers desk where
each one in turn receives his money in
good hard coin.
When evening comes whatever is
left in the cash drawer is profit, less
charges such as taxes, light, fuel &c.
A further boast of the owner Of this
restaurant is that its doors have never
been locked since first opened. way
back in wartime" and that no one
knows where the key now is.
An idea of the number of people fed
may be gained from the fact that table
salt, used exclusively by the patrons
at the tables and not including any
used for cooking, Is purchased every
four months in ten barrel lots. each
barrel containing three hundred
pounds.

ington and Fielding Lewis, Of Fred
ericksburg. and nephew of the great
George Washington. The wife of Law
renee Lewis was Nellie GUSTS, grand
daughter OF Mrs. Martha Washington
and the adopted daughter of George
Washington.
The marriage of Nellie GUSTS and
young Lewis was the social event of the
year 1893. The marriage took place in
the mansion house at Mount Vernon
on the birthday of Washington, and in
the year of his death. Washington
gave to the couple tract of forest land
covering a range of hills on the Mount
Vernon property two miles southwest
of the mansion house. Lewis PERSONAL
ly saw that part of the woods were
cleared away, and in the clearing he
had erected the great house which he
called Woodlawn. The place passed to-
Lorenzo Lewis at the death of his
mother, Nellie Custis Lewis. and by
him was sold in 1913 to two Quakers
from New Jersey, Charley Gillingham
and Jacob NJ. TrOth. The sons of these
men live near the estate to-day, Jacob
NJ. Troth, the younger, living on an
adjoining farm and on land that was
a part of the original Woodlawn. The
house passed through many hands and
in 1900 was bought by Paul Hester,
who now sells it to Miss Sharp.

N0W TIE WATCH TRUST.
VreeIand the Victim
of Joke During N atch Monopoly
Controversy.

When Representative Rainey of ILL
nois, few days ago, made a speech in
Congress on the alleged watch trust,
he opened up a subject that has been
of decided interest in Congressional
circles ever since. He had a collection
of watches on his desk which he
showed as exhibits.
Representative Vreeland of New
York found another phase of the watch
question which he wanted to talk
about, and proceeded to stock up with
sample watches and watch cases. He
had the assortment nicely displayed on
his desk, when, by a prearrangement,
he was called out into the corridor.
AS soon as he was gone joker in a
neighboring seat produced three mem
orandum 6pindles, two short and one
tall. He set them in a row on Vree-
lands desk. Then he produced three
oranges and carefully stuck one on
the point of each spindle. producing
the perfect effect of the three golden
balls of the pawn shop sign.
We'll, by gosh!" exclaimed Vree-
land, when he came back. The laugh
scared his intended speech out of him.

HOUSE FOR FREE SEEDS.

tCOntlnueu from preceding phRe.t
Currier, of New Hampshire, where it is
commonly understood one of the chief
industries is that of raising rocks.
granite, and marble, protested against
his assertion that the farmers were not
in sympathy with the free-seed bust
ness. They declared the farmers of
their State demanded them anyhow.
Mr.. Cocks read letters from the edi-
tors of practically every agricultural
paper in the country, denouncing free
seeds, and when he frankly admitted
he had written these editors asking
their opinion of the proposed action
of the committees he was attacked by
the advocates of free seeds as if he
had committed some crime.
ALL ABOUT SEED ADS
Mr.. Bartlett wanted to know if these
papers carried advertisements of the
seed dealers, to which Mr.. Cocks af-
firmed that he had no doubt of it, as
the business of selling seeds was
legitimate one. Mr.. Fordney did not
believe the answers represented an
honest opinion, as the replies had been
sought.
Mr.. Cocks endeavored to proceed
with his argument, reinforcing ii with
citations from stack of letters, but
he spoke amid confusion that marked
the day as the most unruly of the en-
tire session. Mr.. Gains shouted him
self hoarse-and that is difficult
thing, even for Mr.. Gaines to do; Mr..
Mann scolded, as he often does when
he fails to approve; Mr.. Fordney, Mr..
French, Mr.. Sims, A. Chandler. and
others asked questions simultaneously,
and the chairman of the committee all
but broke his Eavel in vain endenvor
TO maintain order. At one time il
looked as If the mace, that symbol OF
the dignity and power of the House,
would have to be taken from its perch
and waved over the heads of refrac-
tory and angry free-seed mutineers
who refused to take their seats when
SO ordered.
