There was not uniformed regiment

he declared with vigorous gesture that
the people of Greater New York have

Jorn Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
who was sitting near, remarked to
those around him:
That reminds me of an old blow

The extension of the scope and the
addition of new departments to PEN
dleton academy have had good results
and yesterday when the school opened
its doors for the enrolment of stu
dents, the largest attendance in the
history of the school on opening day,
was received.
Seven of the students to occupy the
girls dormitory are now In the city,
and others are expected every day.
The dormitory is a home for the girls
in every sense of the word, as the
students do the work under the di-
rection of the matron ana home life
and home making are among the use
full things taught in the academy.
The muZical department and the
commercial departments which are
new features promise to be we'll pa
tronized. Miss Marjorie Lyman, who
is in charge of the muzical depart
ment, is an accomplished muzician
and will teach students not attending
the academy as well as those attend
ing the institution.
The academy will give more atten-
ton to athletics during the coming
year than ever before. Prof. Chester
X. Fletcher, instructor in modern
languages, is an athlete of much abil-
ity and is interested in the subject.
The course in modern language,
taught by Prof. Fletcher, promises TO
be very attractive to a number of
young people in the city who have
tried for a number of years to secure
a teacher of the Spanish language.
Prof. Fletcher teaches Spanish in the
regular course of modern languages
in the academy and will teach classes
organized outside as well.
The outlook for the academy is es-
pecially bright and everything prom
ises an exceptionally prosperous year.

MURDERED AND MUTILATED.
Feud I'm Pine Valley Ends I'm Horrible
Murder Of William Moody, Pio-

one of the bitterest feuds ever
known in eastern Oregon has ended in
the horrible murder Of William Moo
dy, a pioneer of Pine valley, Baker
county, and one of the most promi-
nent stockmen of that part Of the
state. After numbering Moody some
unknown fiend mutilated his body in
most cruel and dastardly manner.
The Oregon Daily Journals Baker
City correspondent says of the affair:
One of the foulest murders ever
committed in Baker county was done
Saturday night, when some unknown
persons shot and killed Willard Moo
dy, a prominent rancher of Pine val
ley, about so miles from this place.
The slayer had shown his fiendish
cruelty in his work. He pounded the
dead mans head TO a pulp with a
club or the butt of gun, and left
the body lying in the brush less than
a quarter of a mile from Pine.
The body was discovered by a small
boy. the authorities were notified and
a search for the murderer was imme-
diately started.
There is no known direct cause for
the murder, but surmises are heard
on every side. Between the Moody
family and the neighbors there has
been trouble for years.
The dead man was married twice
and separated both times from his
wife. His brother, Henry Moody,
aged 40 years, was acquitted last
week of a statutory charge preferred
by the father of a 14-year-old girl of
Pine. The feeling in the neighbor-
hood was dangerous at the time and
violence was threatened if Moody
should be acquitted.
When the body of Willard Moody
was found the eyes had been gouged
out, the nose and lips were cut off,
and other marks of fiendish hatred
were made.
