TELLS Of THE FIRST FIRE IN PENDLETON

"All hands and the cook" grabbed
hold of the fire engine to haul it to
the scene but as a gravel bed had to
be crossed it was hard pulling for
the firemen. On that particular day
all the local horses happened to be
at work in the country.
After much hard work the fire en-
gIne was gotten to the fire and crew
was organized to operate the ma
chine. F. D. Lehman was chief Of
the fire department at that time and
Mr.. Bentley the second in command.
With many shouts and orders they
tired to summon the crew to work
the pump. But the firemen were all
intent on watching the flames and
refused to work. Accordingly the
house burned down with a total loss
and the first performance of the fire
engine was a dismal failure,

New York, Aug. 19.-Every officer
of the United States army is rallying
to the defense of Captain Hams, who
shot and killed William Annis satur-
day over the formers wife.
Following the publication of Mrs.
Annis' counter charges in the divorce
brought by him, army circles are in
dignant at the alleged conditions de-
picted in her complaint.
If true, it would show a state Of af-
fairs in the American army nearly
as scandalous as the actions of the
knights of the Round Table" Of Ber-
lin.
Her allegations of moral degener-
acy have aroused a great uproar Of
Indignation.
Annis was buried today Although
he was a Mason, the burial was not
under the auspices of that order. The
service was held at st. Michaeps
Episcopal church. No reference was
made to the manner of his death,

of the first fire to occur in Pendleton
after the town secured fire engine.
II was in the days before the rail-
road came and there were but about
40 residents in the village. The "en-
gine" was one that had to be operat-
ed by hand and It took nearly the en-
tire population of the city to manage
the thing.
Shortly after the e-quencher
had been purchased by the council
fire broke out in the west end Of
town and the alarm was sounded.

REPEATED MURDERS

was sent out three weeks ago and the

eigners who make inquiries that those
punished are brigands. Official re-

have murdered S41 japanese in the
past year besides the number of Jap
anese killed in battle. while the Jap
anese soldiers have slain 10000 Ko-

When the gates of the district fair
are thrown open the latter part of
September the scene presented with
in the pavilion will be entirely diff
ferent from the past two fairs.
Workmen are now busy remodel
ling the big pavilion and they have
already made some radical changes
in the arrangement. The wall be-
tween the main pavilion and the an
mex has been taken down, thus throw
ing the entire fair grounds into one
monster room.
The bandstand, formerly located
near the center of the old pavilion,
has been moved westward to within
about eight feet of the ticket office.
A canopy will be arranged back of
the bandstand so as to assist in
throwing the sound out over the au-
dience. This will be a great improve
ment for in the past speakers, ad-
dressing the people from the band
stand. nave made themselves heard
with difficulty.
The fountain and palm garden will
be moved down to a location in front
of the band stand and near the CEN
ter of the pavilion.
The ground within the annex will
be graded down to conform to that
of the main pavilion and the seats
will be arranged in a semi-circle so
that those seated in the grandstand
will look down upon the fountain
and garden and over the same to the
bandstand
By the alterations and enlargement
of the fair pavilion the directors will
make a more interesting fair for
everything will be new. The en-
largement also permits of more space
for booths and there is every indica-
tion that the booths this year will be
large and arranged with more care
than last fall.
Up to this time but few booth To-
cations have been granted. as the
amount of available space is not yet
completely known. Weston is the
only town to engage room so far and
ii has asked for the same location it
had last year.
The local high school has also re-
quested that it be given the same
booth again and a few private loca-
tions have been given. Within a
short time the other towns of the
district and the private concerns in
tending to maintain booths will be
seeking locations.
