up her much abused womanhood as
a plea for sympathy to the people for
help, and it was not long before the
required amount was raised and a
ticket bought, and on Sunday she left,
supposedly, for her old haunts in Iowa.
Crawford, who had been working
for H. w. Duckwall in the livery barn
here for a few weeks, went to the
farm Of which Alger Melton has the
charge and which is now under the
immediate supervision of his brother,
Earl, and he and his wife were liv-
ing at that place, and it is claimed
that his wife and some Of the men on
that farm were becoming too intimate
and when aecosted about the affair by
her husband that hard words were
used which led to blows. During the
melee, it Is claimed that one Of the
men present came to the defence Of
the woman and that trouble between
the men was narrowly averted. How
ever, this part Of the story has since
been denied Upon the termination
Of the fight, it said that Crawford
announced his intention Of leaving
the place and thereupon packed his
grip and getting into a buggy with
two Of the men who were later arrest
ed, went to Mustang, where it IS
claimed by Melton he was seen by him
down the railroad track in the direc.
ton Of Oklahoma City.
All the circumstances as best can
be CLEANED, are as follows:
Crawford and his wife had quar-
relied on a certain day and he announc-
ed his intention Of leaving the place
and his wife and quitting the country
and is taken in a rig to Mustang by
the two Keith boys, who, while il
conversation with Mrs. R. P. Brown
declared they had left him in Mustang
but after their arrest they told De
putty Burke that they had brough
Crawford back home home with then

STORY Of CRAWFORD
and His Domestic Troubles Woman
Refused to Come to See
the Remains

The Oklahoman this morning stat
ed that the body Of the murdered man
which has been lying in Claycomb &
Anderson's undertaking rooms since
last Saturday night would be moved
to Oklahoma City, but nothing was
konwn Of such a plan here. Officers
there have a theory that the dead man
is Wilbur Gunreth who is missing at
that place, the descriptions Of the two
men corresponding in some particu-
lars. They also believe that the crime
committed there which was similar
to this one was the work Of the same
person or persons.
Deputy Burk went to Tuttle today
to make further Investigations. The
hearing Of the Keith boys and Hatha-
way who are out on bond was not
held today being postponed until next
week.
The body Of the dead man will be
held here till definite information is
obtained.

the presence of John D. Rockefeller

deputy marshals were finally compel

mL-ADvIsED ACTIVITY.

The political activity of Secretary
Taft, while serving as a public Off
cial in one of the highest capacities
in the government, is, to say the least,
ill-advised and in bad taste.
AS secretary of war Mr.. Taft is not
a republican politician, but he stands
for the American people. IN a strict
ly non-partisan position. But as a
presidential candidate, touring the
country with view to placing HIM
self prominently before the people,
he is strictly partisan and all DEM
onstrations made in his honor are
necessarily more or less partisan.
This premature activity on part of
Mr.. Taft will not make him many
votes for the presidency, should he
become a candidate as he hopes to
do.
There is plenty of time for Mr..
Taft to campaign after the campaign
opens and other candidates begin to
contest the field with him. To use
his public position to further his per-
sonal political interests does not de-
note the mental calibre needed in the
presidency. Mr.. Taft is decidedly in
bad taste.

\ GREETING AND A PLEDGE.

Before the East Oregonian is issued
again, Pendleton public schools will
have opened for the year 1907, which
is to be the best year in the history
of the schools.
To the teachers who have returned
to Pendleton after their vacations,
the East Oregonian gives a most
hearty welcome and pledges its
heartiest cooperation with them in
making this the best year.
There must be cooperation on part
of parents in making good schools.
The teachers and the school board
are helpless in many matters with
out the cooperation of parents, and
this should be forthcoming.
Pendleton expects much from her
schools. She contributes freely of her
taxes to their support. She heeds
their every demand for better facili-
ties, and she expects her schools to
be the touch stone by which her pop
ulation is to be multiplied in the fu-
ture. She expects them to be inviting
and her business interests pledge to
teachers and pupils every co-opera-
ton and every support.
Let Monday be the biggest opening
day in the history of the schools.

WHY NOT IN UMATILLA?

Orchard land in Wenatchee, Wash.
planted to Spitzenbergs and other
popular varieties of apples, yields net
profits OF $500 per acre per year.
This is 10 per cent profit on a val
uation Of $4,000 per acre,
This same sagebrush land was
worth bus So and SO per acre 10 years
aro. 1t is one of the miracles of ir-
ton. Some "foolhardy adventur-
er," as he was called by the conserv-
atives, went into the desert and turn
ed out a stream and began proddlng
around in the sagebrush.
In a few years he built 2O-room
mansion in Spokane, rides IN an auto
mobile and has a princely income
from his irrigated orchard.
Why not such marvellous develop
ment in Umatilla?
The climate, even surprising that
of Wenatchee, is here. The rich soil
is here. The water is plentiful.
transportation facilities are excellent.
Everything is favorable. Everything
is auspicious. Why not such orchards
in Umatilla? Why not such orchard
princes to redeem the arid lands of
western Umatilla county?
