PROSPECT FOR ROAD.
When Deeds Are Filed, Pendleton Sees
Hope for Electric Line
Extension.

Saturday the Walla Walla Traction
company fled with County Clerk Sal
ing sixteen deeds for right of way for
its proposed line up Pine Greek to
Weston. The right of way deeds filed
with the county clerk are from the fol-
lowing persons:
I. j. Watts. Narvesta A. Steen, 9.
E. Simmonds, @. A. Barrett. George
Carmichael. J. A. Badley, Ralph E.
Key, Alex johnson, Frank Diokerson,
T. J. Beagle. Fred Press, J. f. Kill
gore, T. J. Conrad and II. E. aud
Jennie Turner.
The filings involve title to right of
way privileges along Pine Greek. from
the Walla Walla valley to Weston,
with the exception of one or two places,
and the Pendleton Tribune sees hopes
of Pendleton securing an extension of
the line. The Pendleton paper sizes up
the situation as follows:
1t is certain that if the road comes
as far as Athena it will come to Pen
dleton. and with the construction of
the Furnish-Coe line from this city to
the river, through the irrigated dis
trict. it will mean a change in the
freight business of the county. for the
Milton Freewater produce that now
goes to Walla Walla will come this
way in order to reach the open river
and the lower freight rates. This will
make Pendleton the Zig shipping point
and will no doubt result in the cleo
tion and esta blishing here of immense
oold-storage warehouses for the hand
ling of the fruit and produce from the
upper country. 1t will also open up
the Weston fruit district and provide
a ready market for the immense apple
crops which are grown in the noun
tains, but are hauled in wagons to
Pendleton. This Weston mountain
district is considered one of the finest
apple growing sections in Oregon and
the only thing holding it back has been
lack of transportation. The proposed
route of the electric line runs through
this famous apple district and if com
pleted will bring quick market.

of Head Crushed In.

A dispatch from Palouse Wash.
says: An unknown man was instantly
killed in the stairway at the Kuntz

this evening, either by falling down
the stairway or by blow. Win Bur-
den, an ex-saloon man, is in the city
Jail, awaiting the arrival of the ooro-
ner and the prosecuting attorney.
The first that was known of the affair
was when the man tumbled ont of the
stairway to the street in dying CON-
dition. Burden was in the building
and admitted having some words with
the man and says he took an open
knife away from him and that the
man, who is said to have been drink
ing, stumbled backward over chair
and fell down the stairs. The chair
was broken and fell with the man to
the bottom.
The top of the head was crushed in
horrible manner. The dead man is
about 55 years old. and bad been
around Palouse two weeks. Previously
he worked in meat market at Lewis
ton. He never gave his name here,
but said he bad brother. wealthy
packer. in Chicago. He roomed at the
Kuntz house last week and claimed
that he had left knife in his room
and returned to get it.
He is said to have annoyed the peo-
pie in the house several times by
coming back to look for the knife, and
this evening found il. A young man
who was near the foot of the steps
claims to have heard Burden say, just
before the man fell, "I'll teach you to
come up here and make rough house. 7"
The body is lying at the Anderson
undertaking parlors. The coroner will
come tomorrow morning. A special
policeman has been put to watch at the
Jail, SO that no one may confer with
Burden. This is the first death that
has occurred in Palouse under suspi-
cious circumstances for many years and
the people are considerably wrought
up over the affair.
The ooroner's jury did not charge
Burden with killing the man, tythe
district attorney is holding him in
Jail, until the case can be investigated
