Frankfort, KY, June 13.-Caleb
Powers and Jim Howard were par
doned today by Governor Wilson for
the alleged connection with the muir
der of Governor VIM. Goebel.
Powefs was Americas most ia
nous prisoner and has been incar-
cerated almost nine years on a con-
spiracy to kill GOebel.
Howard was under life sentence in
connection with the assassination, but
he is under other convictions and
will not go stark free.
Powers, a young mountaineer, was
elected secretary of state on the re-
publican ticket nine years ago, when
Taylor, the republican nominee for
governor, was declared elected. Goe-
bel, democrat contested the election
and bloody scenes followed
Goebel was shot down in front of
the capitol, powers, then 80 years
old. was arrested, tried four times
and each time it was claimed the
del3 es. thorities had packed
the juries.
When Wilson was elected he said
he would pardon him if convinced he
was innocent The pardon today is
the result of his investigation.
Governor Wilson says he is con-
vinced that Powers is not guilty.

Cadillac, Mich, June 13.-The
whole city is shocked today by the
tragedy that wiped out an entire
family when Mrs. Daniel CrOpse. be-
coming insane, killed her husband and
six children. then suicided. The wo-
man was 80 years old.
She went to bed last night in
cheerful mood, according to the
neighbors, and got up this morning
to prepare breakfast for her family.
As the family was seated at the Ia
bic she suddenly appeared in the door
leading from the kitchen with a re-
volver and cried Here's where we
all go."
She turned the weapon on her hus-
band, killing him with the first shot,
and the children. ranging from five
to IS. were too shocked to move. She
killed two, then reloaded the pistol
and followed the other four, killing
them one by one.
The woman met neighbors at the
door, and with a shrek sent a bullet
through her own head.

San Francisco, June 13.-"I can't
see that any great credit is due Evans
for bringing the fleet around the
Horn. Any navigator could have
done the same. The vessels did not
make more than 10 knots an hour
and any other officer could have
brought the ships around at that
speed. One would think that all oth-
er ships but that commanded by Ev-
ans were commanded by cowboys"
This statement was made by the
inspector of hulls, o. F. Bolles who
is being asked to explain today.
He threw a bomb shell In to the
arial of Captain o. w. Parker of a
local ferryboat who is accused OF vi.
olating the rules by blowing his whis-
tie when the fleet sailed through the
Golden gate.
'"The way the mariners give all the
credit to Evans is a reflection on the
other officers Of the fleet" he said.

GERS educated at the expense Of the
government and there are more Off
GERS on the ships than is necessary"

Judge Crawford yesterday granted
temporary injunction enjoining the
county court OF Union county from

Ell leave at the former test remained

WEST END IS
FILLING RAPIDLY
COSTUMA SAYS POPULATION
WILL INCREASE 1900.
New Settlers Arriving Almost Every
Day, Says Representative of Fur
nish-COe Land COmpany-Survey
for Electric Line Progressing Rap
idly - Many PendletOn People
Buying Under Project But Most
Are From Middle West.

There has been hardly a day dur
ing the past two weeks that the west
ern end of the county has not increas-
ed its population. From the present
outlook, there is every reason to be-
lieve that by this time next June there
will be at least 1900 more people in
the country surrounding Echo, Fos-
| ter and Hermiston. The influx of
people from the middle west is in
oreasing and Pendleton has had more
home seekers stop here recently owing
10 the floods in Montana, than at any
previous time.
d. B. Costume, the local represen-
tative of the Furnish-Coe lands in
conversation today stated that this
homeseeking element does not come
from any particular section. his sales
having been chiefly to people from
Iowa, Colorado, Montana, North Da-
kota, Washington and Idaho. Most
of the purchases have been in tracts
Of five, 90 and 0acres, which will
be put into cultivation this coming
fall. The western end of the county
affords to these newcomers advan-
tages equal If not better than can be
obtained in any other section of the
northwest, and at prices three or four
hundred dollars lower than is asked
elsewhere. OF course, with the devel.
opment of the country the prices will
increase, and it is encouraging to note
the success the Furnish-Coe people
are meeting with.
Costuma states that their engineer
has completed the survey for an
electric line on their own project, and
is now surveying for proper grading
to Hermiston; when this work is COM
pleted the engineer will then start
and lay out proper grading from
Echo through to Pendleton.
"Of course" says Costuma there
is not sufficient immediate business
to warrant the construction of this
electric line at this time, but with
the securing of our right of way and
the development of the western end
of the county, which in five years will
be entirely complete, an electric line
will be a big dividend payer in that
section, and the line continued east
to Pendleton on the north side, will
give us enough tonnage to make the
line successful"
DR.. Coe has been much encouraged
by the support given to the Furnish
Coe project by the local people.
G. w. Phelps recently closed a con-
tract for 90 4-1O acres at $125 an
acre, and the purchasers in this city
include among others, G. NJ. Rice, of
the First National bank; w. L.
Thompson. of the Commercial Nation
al bank; Leon Cohen. R. Alexander,
A. L. Knight, c. f. Roosevelt, j. V.

PLAYED Adam and Eve.

The ancient history of biblical
times has been brought to mind by a
party Of six, three men and three wo-
men of Hermiston, who went to UNA
tilla Sunday, says the Echo Regis
ter. They tipped the flowing bowl a
little too frequently and were pretty
well jagged by the time they reached
Umatila. After laying in a fresh
supply of the sparkling fluid they
went 10 a sand bank near by and
played Adam and Eve until the mar
shall placed them under arrest. They
remained locked up for short time,
when they were bailed out by a prom
inent merchant of Umatnia county.
We withhold their names till after
the trial.

not be material, as It seems that the

Rain would be great help to the

localities have had more rain this
season than there has been nearer

DEVASTATING FLOODS RACE IN KANSAS

Topeka, Kan, June 13.-North To-
peka is threatened with another flood.
The river has risen today from 1917
feet to 21.3 feet. A bulletin issued
by the local weather bureau at 2
o'clock this afternoon says:
uniformly heavy rains ranging
from one to two inches, have fallen
in the Kaw valley and the present
outlook Is that the river at Topeka
will rise twa feet in the next S6 or 4S
hours Unsettled weather conditions
prevail today and showers are fore
casted for this part Of the state to-
night"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-13

The rise already forecasted will put
the river above the flood stage and
more rains would make the situation
serious.
The feed waters of the Kansas river
are rising rapidly. The Republican
river at Junction City has risen seven
feet since yesterday and the Smoky
Hill over three feet. Conditions along
the Smoky Hill bottom are reported
worse than in 1904. At Manhattan
the Blue rose over three feet today
and is still rising.
The crest OF the new flood here
will be reached Sunday night
