Orchard Meets Peabody. ]

For the first time since Harry Orchard
prowled around the residence Of ex-Gov-
ernor James H. Peabody, of Colorado,
in Denver, where the governor saw him
a time or two, the self-confc ssed assas-
sin met Thursday morning the man
whose death he plotted many time. He
met him face to face in the office of
James II. Hawley in the Odd Fellows
building. Mr.. Peabody and number
of other men were in the Office when the
guards took Orchard in.
When Orchard saw the former govern
or his cheeks paled and visible tremor
shook his frame. He seemed to be rap
idly losing control Of his emotions when
Mr.. Peabody said in pleasant voice -
Good morning, Orchard"
With halting voice and tears stream
ing down his face Orchard confessed that
,he was ashamed to meet the man whose
siic he had tried often to take.
I "Governor, am ashamed to meet
YOU. am ashamed to look you in the
face" we're the words he managed to
say.
Forget it, Orchaid," Governor Pea
body replied. II haven't come here to
do you any harm"
Then Mr.. Reabody told to Orchard and
the Others in the Office that he believed
in the sincerity Of the story Orchard has
told upon the witness stand. He said
he did not think Orchard was telling the
truth merely because he was witness
ior the state and was sworn to tell moth
ing but the truth, but he believed h'
lras telling.the trath because OF the sin
cerity within himself, sincerity whic'
was prompting.him.to now. try to recti
fv to some extent the many wrongs h'
had done.

forgiven his sins.

MIR. DURKEE'S WOES.
In Divorce Complaint on File he Alleges
Interesting Facts.

Suit fer divorce has been filed in
Benton county by E. W. Durkee,
who desires legal separation from
his wife, Annie E. Durkee, and
custody of three minor childi IN.
The parties were married in Lin
coin county, then part of Benton,
in 1891, and for some time resided
at Chitwood. Later, they moved
to Chico, California, and there an
inharmonious life began and ter
minated in a separation. Mr..
Durkee returning to Oregon. MIS-.
Durkee's story OF the infelicities of
their home is not oblainable, but
Mr. Du1kee in his complaint, al
leges facts which to those not hav-
ing participated in the incidents set
forth are amusing. If any enter-
tainment may be extracted from
public matters of a serious nature,
it is perhaps permissible.
Mr.. Durkee alleges in his com
plant that on sundry and divers
pc ,asio, defendant kicked and re-
peatedly struck plaintiff with her
fists, blacking his eyes and on more
than one occasion had struck him
with pieces of wood, broomsticks
threw boiling tea and teapots upon
him, used harsh language and
studiously adopted many like acts,
In 1905, complainant alleges, while
living at Chico, plaintiff was acting
on building committee Of large
hall, defendant in anger fol bade
plaintiff attending the meeting o
said committee, and when plaintiff
demonstrated and explained tha
his duty made it imperative that he
attend, the defendant took plaintiff
hat. ard clothing SO that le wa
compelled to wear his 14-year-ole
son S clothing several sizes too small
rendering him an object of ridicul,
to the other members OF the com
mittee.
In the absence of evidence in re
buttal of the alleged facts, it is saf
10 assume that the courts will
speedily afford Mr.. Durkee the re
lief prayed for.

DOWN THE MOUNTAIN SIDE.
Swept the Home With its Sleeping In
mates A Lincoln County Land
... slide. .-...

By landslide that swept down
the side hill like an avalanche, the
home of Charles Altree and its
sleeping inmates was carried from
its foundations and thrown into
the valley below near Toledo last
Monday night. In Its descent,
the house was thrown against the
barn in which seven head of cows
were stabbed ,and by the over turning
of the stove in the house, both
buildings with their entire con-
tents, cattle, feed and all. we're
burned. The sleeping family,
awakened by the catastrophe. man.
aged to make their escape though
in each case without stitch Of
clothing, save the mother who sue
ceeded in catching a blanket from
the bed in her flight. 1t was a
mile to the Altree mill where the
nearest neighbor lived, and the
trip had to be made on foot through
the binding rainstorm that pre-
vailed all over the Coast at that
time. There are four children in
the family, one of which is but two
weeks old. and all made their way
laboriously through the inky dark
ness, for it was between 10 and
II o'clock at night when the land
slide occurred.
The Altree home is situated two
miles west of Toledo, and a mile
beyond the we'll known A1tree mill.
The family are old pioneers in the
country, Ed Altree having been
Que of the early settlers of western
Benton. The house was situated
on the side hill, considerable dis
tance above the barn, which was
directly below in the edge of a
beautiful valley that constitutes
the Altree farm lands. The house
was two story frame affair, neat
and comfortable. The barn was a
large one, and was we'll filled with
feed and livestock. The family
had retired at their usual hour, and
all the members sswere asleep, excep,
the grandmother who aroused the
family. The violent rainstorm that
had prevailed all the day was still
falling heavily, when the whole face
of the earth Immediately surround
ing tie house began to move. With
a rush it slid into the lower space
in which the barn was located, ane
by some indescribable means, the
house was thrown against the barn
The overturning of the stove and {
lamp lighted a fire quickly, ane
both buildings with their entire
contents were speedily consumed
The loss runs 1uto thousands o
dollars, and falls heavily on tht
owner. Whether or not there wa
insurance was not known by Fran
els Jones, of Independence, from
whom the TIMES learned of the oc
cuTrence. --

What's His Politics.

1t was thousand miles from
Corvallis that it happened. A cit
izen was recommending certain
person to a prominent county Of
ficiel for appointment as fruit in
spector. He knows his business
thoroughly, is a we'll posted iruit
man, has had large experience and
would make a good Inspector
said the citizen. The official listen
ed to these things, until the party
had finished, and then in low
..soice and piercing glance
of the eye he whispered What's
his politics?" "What's his poll
tics?' was the question repeated
as the citizen Redeemed and confess
ed that he hadn't made inquiry
on that point that it had not oc-
eurred to him that growth or the
correct care OF the orchards de-
pended on a fruit Inspectors politics.
He dropped the subject at that
point and left the august presence
where mans fitness for office
is anchored in the high-'ninded
question, whats his politics?"
Those who have heard of the episs
sode recall now that when Prof.
Cordley, a republican was appoint
ed to office it was by democratic
court and when his fitness was
being considered, nobody asked
the silly question, whats his
politics." of cour the world has to
have all kinds of people in it and
among them is the soul stirring,
earth elevating individual who has
to stop and inquire, What's his
politics?'
