PRESIDENT SCHBRER RESIGNS.
Will Accept Presidency Of Throop Insti-
tute, In California--His Letter to
The Board Of Trustees.

President James A. b. Scherer
of Newberry college, sends his res,
ignation to the board of trustees ol
Ncwberry college. He asks that i,
take effect OIL October I, but he will
remain until January I, if the
board desires that he shall do 50.
He will accept the position offered
him in Pasadena, Cal, as president
of Throop institute.
DR.. Scherer came to Newbc1ry
only about four years ago, from
the pastoratc of a church in Charles
ton. His administration at New
berry has been eminently SUCCESS
full. Through his efforts the ell
dowinent has been greatly enlarged;
new buildings have been erected,
and the roll of students has mater
tally increased. The college is now
In more prosperous condition than
at any previous time in it's history.
The friends of the college every
where will receive with regret the
! announcement Of DR.. Scherer's res
1gnation. The many friends Of DR..
Scherer in Ncwberry regret the re-
moval of DR.. Schercr and his fami-
ly from this midst.
But there is another side to this
question. The position to which
DIR. Schercr is called opens broad
cr field for his labors, and it is an
opportunity which comes possibly
but once to man, and it would be
ali extremely selfish view to try to
keep Dir. Scherer in Newbcrry.
The work at Newbcrry is we'll
organized, and it will not be such a
difficult task for some one else TO
take up the duties and carry for
ward the continued upbuilding of
the institution.
The board Of trustees Of New
berry college will probably hold a
meeting al all early day to select
DR.. Scherer's successor.
Following is DR.. Scherer's letter
of resignation:
"Newberry College,

Clyde Pennington, of La Grande, ex-
Sheriff Of Union County. The child
rem were barefooted and were dig
ging far out on the beach The
waves began to come around them,
but they paid no attention until a
large one was almost upon them,
when all started to run. The Eagles
boy ran around ledge of rock which
was in their path, but the frightened
girls clambered over the rock and
fell into a wide pool of water, FIVE
feet deep, directly on the other side
of the ledge.
There were no people near and
the three girls floundered helpless
ly. Young Eagles bravely waded out
and finally managed to catch his sis

caught Helen. Winters clothes in his
mouth and dragged her to the bank.

Found In Lonely Nook

Remains Found In Lonely Nook
Hillsboro.-The remains of a man
whose name was evidently E. Perdue
of Spokane, and who was murdered
in cold blood in lonely place in the
mountains 28 miles northwest of this
city. were found by fifteen-year-old
boy Saturday about noon. The BODY
was partially covered by sticks and
clap-boards and old refuse. The boy
returned home and notified HIS fa-
ther, r. E. Neighbor, who went to
the scene and getting survey of
the place notified the sheriff and cor
oner. Sheriff Hancock and Coroner
L. c. Brown went to the mountains
and held an inquest. They found the
body had been lying in seclusion for
perhaps three weeks and the face
was badly decomposed. There was
no possibility of Identification so far
as features were concerned, as de-
composition was too far advanced.
The man wore overalls but no coat.
His skull had been crushed in by
some blunt instrument, probably the
back OF a pole-axe.
In the dead mans pocket were
found two stamped coins the size
Of half-dollar, on which were print
ed "E. Perdue, Spokane, Wash.
1907" Another piece of aluminium
contained an eagle with a circle
around it made from the same metal.
The two back teeth of both the upper
and lower left jaws had been filled
with amalgam.
The Neighbor boy who found the
body says that about three weeks
ago or more he met a man who was
wading the stream barefooted and
who told him that he was from Spo-
kane.
