ifornia and it's resources did not ex-
aggerate, but just the same Mr.. Diven
says that Umatilla county looks just
as good or better to him since his re-
turn than it did before. He found a
great similarity in the soil of Fresno
county and that of the lighter soil
districts of Umatilla, and barring the
differences which latitude impose,
the capabilities of the two regions are
,here, but grapes, apricots, peaches
and many other products are identi-
cal, and the yield is as profuse and
of as good quality here as there. In
fact, and for short, Mr.. Diven insists
that the people of Umatilla county
do not realize the fact that the flu
ture of this district cannot fail to be
as brilliant, agriculturally and indus
trialiy, as that of the Fresno district,
California, because it's capabilities are
every bit as great, though somewhat
different
Mr.. Diven adds that he was highly
entertained after his arrival home by
the interview which appeared in the
East Oregonian of August 2S, clip
ped from the Fowler, Calf, Ensign,
The Ensign had interviewed DR.. Craw-
ford of that place in relation to his
trip into eastern Oregon and about
his guest, Rev. Diven, who was in
Fowler at that time. DIR. Crawford
himself sent a copy of the Ensign tc
the East Oregonian, and upon his
arrival home Mr.. Diven found the
interview staring him in the face
| wherever he went Mr.. Diven does
not take any direct exceptions to the
interview, but only remarks when
ever it is mentioned, that DIR. Craw'
| ford retains the vivid Imagination
which he developed in college under
the influence of Pittsburg stogies
and which not even the glorious eli.
mate of California has impaired dur
ing all the years that have elapsed
since he and Mr.. Diven were class
mates.

embezzlement, says the oregon Daily
Journal Both was given a prelimi-
nary hearing in the police court this
morning before Acting Municipal
Judge V. X. Strobe and the court has
taken the matter under advisement.
1t is specifically alleged by the in
surance company that Booth felon-
iously converted 1897 of their mon
ey to his own use, although about s5,-
900 is involved. The defendant
through his attorney, A. King Wilson,
set up the defense that there was no
criminal intent and does not deny
having the money in his possession.
He maintained, however, that until
there is "a judicial decision in the civil
courts relative to his contention, that
he is entitled to larger commissions
on renewals, he is not guilty OF any
criminal offense in holding the mon-
ey.
Booth is out on bonds and Judge
Strobe determined to look into the
matter before deciding whether oi

THE WHITE LADY.
Warning Death Phantom of the Reign
ing House Of Prussia.

Warming Death Phantom OF the Heisn'
ina House Of Prussia.
On the night before the battle Of
Saalfleld Prince Louis of Prussia and
his adjutant, Count Nostitz, were chat
ting In the Schloss Schwarzburg-Ru-
dolfstadt The prince was anticipat-
ing victory when he suddenly turned
pale and rushed from the room, pur-
suing through the hall shadowy
white robed figure. The sentinel saw
1t also.
Next day Nostitz and the prince saw
the white lady on hill wringing her
hands in despair as the Germans fell
back. A few minutes later Louis was
killed and Nostitz wounded. Nostitz
told the story to his son, and the son
to Unser Fritz.
The white lady's first appearance
was when she was seen In the palace
at Baireuth in 14S8. She appeared
eight or ten times in the next century.
When the French officers were quar-
tered In Baireuth she frightened them,
In particular General d'Espagne, who,
the day after he had seen her, pointed
to a portrait on the wall and cried;
ut is she! That means my death!'
He was killed soon afterward.
The superstitious Napoleon wouldn't
sleep in the castle. but the white lady
went to see him elsewhere. She was
seen before the death Of the beautiful

LEG AND FOOT CRUSHED.
Conflicting Accounts of How the Ac-
cident Occurred.

Henry Nyholm suffered a crushed
leg by being run over by freight cars
in the Lewiston yards at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning, says the Lewiston Tell
er. The right foot is badly crushed
and the flesh is torn from the leg to
the knee. The unfortunate man was
taken to the hospital and is now un-
der the care of County Physician
Hurlburt. After consultion Drs.
Hurlburt and Morris removed the leg
above the knee. The patient is re-
ported resting easily.
SThe circumstances of the accident
are not known, but it Is believed that
Nyholm had crawled under the
freight cars standing on the track to
sleep and had left his right leg lying
across the rail. When the engine
was coupled onto the cars this morn
ing in the switching operations the
cars we're moved a few feet and the
foot was pinioned beneath the wheels.
Nyholm claims that he was cross
ing the track when the cars sudden
ly moved toward him, knocking him
down before he could get out of the
way. This statement is discredited
by the train crew, however, as the
man was beneath the third car when
found and the cars had been moved
not to exceed five feet.
Nyholm Is a young man about %
years of age, and came to Lewiston
last night from Culdesac, where M
has been working in the railroad con
struction camps. Members of thu
Culdesac train crew state he wa
drinking heavily last night while Ell
route to Lewiston and the theory tina
he sought bed beneath the freigh
cars is believed to be the corrct one.
