President Of Board
Of Managers
Quits.
WARM SESSION

A stormy session OF the Board OF
Managers of the Home for the Aged
was held yesterday afternoon at the
institution, 271 High street. Little
actual business was transacted and
the meeting ended after much dis
cussion. AS a result Mrs. G. @.
Baldwin, president of the Board of
9nagers, rendered her resignation
tay to take effect Immediately.
n Mrs. l. r. Solt was elected secre-
tA-y of the Board of Managers at
yesterdays session to succeed Mrs.
Stevens, who resigned some time
ago.
Yesterdays session was a special
meeting called by the president, Mrs.
Baldwin. At this time Mrs. M. L.
Pierce, now temporarily in charge of
the Home, was chosen to act as
matron until such time as a man
and wife can be secured for the
place. Mrs. Baldwin favored the re-
election of Miss Julia Arnold as
inatron, but the majority of the
members supported Mrs. Pierce.
Miss Arnold, the former matron,
resigned a few weeks ago. She tried
to be re-instated before the supper
was given recently, but when the
time for the event arrived she de-
clined.
Mrs. Baldwin rendered her resig-
nation today to the secretary, Mrs.
Solt, and the matter will be brought
up at a special meeting of the Board
of Trustees to be held tonight.
Mrs. Baldwin has been faithful
worker during her term on the Board
OF Managers. In speaking of her
action today. she said that she had
resigned on account of Mrs. Pierce.
She said: 1T is difiicult to dictate
to old age and / find ignorance dis
agreeable to deal with. / can not
work together with Mrs. Pierce"
The opposition Of Mrs. Baldwin
and her adherents to the retention OF
Mrs. Pierce was due to their aver
sion to having so much regarding the
Home made public Considerable
news had recently been given out by
Mrs Pierce and others in connection
with the events at the old folks in
stitution and this was not liked by
the president.
The meeting yesterday was called
by Mrs. Baldwin with -the intention
of criticizing Mrs. Pierce, but the ef-
fort failed and the attempt TO re-
name Miss Arnold as matron is un-
derstood to have precipitated the dis
cussion
Mrs Baldwin said today that she
would send her resignation by mes
-senger to Mrs SoIt this afternoon, SO
that 1t would be laid before the
Board of Trustees at their meeting
tonight.
When Mrs. w. f. Van Pelt was
asked about yesterdays meeting she
at first declined to speak upon the
subject and referred the reporter to
Mrs Baldwin. When she was in
formed that Mrs. Baldwin's story
had already been obtained, she said
that it was not wholly on account OF
Mrs. Pierce that the president took
the action she did, but also because
Miss Arnold was not reelected. Mrs.
Van Pelt lauded the work of Mrs.
Pierce and said that she had done
much.
Mrs. Van Pelt then proceeded to
tell how Miss Arnold had resigned,
then tried to be reinstated and later
declined again when she heard that
a supper was to be given.
Mrs Baldwin praised the present
condition of the Home today and said
she felt pleased that she left it In
such prosperous state.

PROSSER EDITOR IS Assault TED
Assailant Arrested and Fined

II. r. Watson the editor of the
Prosser Republican Bulletin was
knocked down and put out Of com
mission for a couple of hours by a
blow from the fist of c. G. Baker, a
belligerent real estate man Of the
county seat. Watson was wholly
unprepared for the lick as he was
standing in the middle OF the street
talking to a man seated in a buggy.
Baker came up from behind and
without word of warning landed
on his jaw with the result above
noted. Watson was carried to his
office and came to himself after a
short time. Baker was arrested on
a warrant sworn out by the town
marshal and plead guilty in Justice
Mahan's Court and was fined $50
and costs. Bad blood existed he
tween the two men for some time
over the renting of q house which
Baker was agent for and Watson was
living in. From all accounts Baker
was wholly in the wrong. He has
had four or five fights in the last
three or four years and the laxness
Of officials in enforcing the law has
spoiled him. He should have re-
ceived severe sentence which would
be lesson to him.

HENRY ARTHUR MCLEAN

Henry Arthur Mclean who has

past ten years, and has been a mem
Der of the family, receiving parent
al care since he was four years old,
skipped out Tuesday. He went to
school in the morning and left at
the first recess, telling his teacher
that he had a chance to go to Seat
lie. No word has been received
from him or anyone about him up
to this morning although Sheriff Nc
Neill WINS notified and the officers
on the line have been on the look
out for him. He recently went to
Seattle with Mr.. and Mrs. Conway
and it is altogether likely that he
returned to the excitement Of the
city thinking he was able to make
his own way in the world, and the
opportunity is now his to test it out
to his own complete satisfaction. 1t
is no doubt a keen disappointment
to Mr.. and Mrs. Conway, for they
had plans to give him an excellent
education and training preparing
him to take worthy and important
position in the world such as boy
with his opportunity should fill.
However he will be the chief suffer-
er on account of his ungrateful ac-
tons and will have to suffer the
consequences of them.
