A petition has been drawn By one
Of the local attorneys at the instance
Of one OF the Clatsop farmers in rela.
ton to the question Of the unsightly
manure piles that may be seen in
many parts OF the city, This petition
rs likely 10 be presented to the COM
mon council aud suggests that the
city purchase scow on which all Of
the refuse from the stables may be
loaded and towed to Young's Bay,
and that there it could be sold to the
farmers OF that locality; the farmers
to pay for ii by allowing 40 per
cent Of the selling price OF the crops
raised on the fields thus fertilized."
Il Is known that many tons OF highly
valuable fertilizer goes to waste an
nually in the city that would be of
greatest value to the farmers, but the
plan suggested seems impracticable.
In the FIRST place the cost to the city
Of purchasing a scow, Of getting the
fertilizer onto it, the towage bills,
the hiring Of men to do the work and
all the other details Of the plan,
would likely be very great Secondly
the plan of paying for it by taking
10 per cent of the selling price of the
crops seems 50 vague and open to
trouble as to be quite impracticable.
Nevertheless the whole plan might
,e most excellent one II carried on
oy private individuals. The petition

lbility Of public market, as an aid

The popular Grand moving pic
ture house has an excellent program
on for tonight and tomorrow evening
only. The feature film being one of
the most intensely interesting sub
jects ever shwn in Astoria, entitled
Stirring Days in Virginia" The
subject as the title suggests is a
drama of the Civil War and is per-
haps more appreciated by the strong
historical interest it contains, correct
in every detail, The remainder of the
program is good and includes two
new French subjects Of especial mcr-
it: "The Village Quarrel" and "A
Sure Enough Tumbler,9 the latter
being the comedy film Of the pro-
gram, On the program are also two
splendid songs: when the Flowers

this assortment of films is the finest
that money can secure, Manager

THE CLIFTON MURDER.
WAS ATROCIOUS
GREEK KILLS ANOTHER IN
COLD BLOOD FOR HIS
MONEY.

The murder OF the Greek at Cliff
ton on last Friday night as briefly
recounted in the AstoFian of Sun
day morning, was most atrocious
affair. The dead mans name has been
ascertained as Girls Konias, while the
name Of his travelling companion who
presumably killed him, is Andre
Moucous Konias was large man,
but one of his legs had been cut off,
while his murderer, Moueous, is a
solidly built man, OF only about FIVE
feet, four or FIVE inches in height, but
of compact build, and powerful,
While Moucous has not yet been
his capture should seem
certain, as he is a man easily dis
tinguished anywhere. While quite
evidnetly of foreign appearance, he
talks English readily. His cheeks
are red-so red as to be noticed In
contrast to his red cheeks his hair
and beard. are quite gray; he wears
a stubby gray mustache, and while
the rest Of his face is shaven, the
beard shows its grayish tinge to any
observer. When last seen this short,
solidly built man, with red cheeks
and gray stubby mustaehe, wore a
sweater.
Konias, the man with one leg, and
Moucous both came to his city a
week ago yesterday They had been
IN Portland before coming here, and
there the murdered man had cashed
q draft made out BY San Francisco
bank for the sum Of $500, which he
later carried in cash about his person.
The two men came here to raise

United States government, through

FAVOR A DIVISION Or
JUDICIAL DISTRICT
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WILL WIRE cLATsoP
DELEGATES.

Al the meeting Of the Chamber oi
Commerce last night resolution
was introduced by Mayor Smith to
the effect that the organization Is in
favor Of dividing the Fifth Judicial
district The resolution carried with
out dissent, and much was said in
favor Of The plan
In accordance with the terms Of
the resolution a telegram will be
sent this morning to the members
Of the Clatsop delegation in the Ore
gon Legislature asking them to lend
their influence to the passage Of the
bill now before the House in reIa-
ton to this subject. II Is thought to
be likely that the bill viii become
law The bill now before the Legis-
lature was drawn by Judge Mcbride
at the suggestion Of lawyers who
wish to see the change made.
There are now four counties in the
Fifth Judicial district, and by the
plan suggested these four counties
will be formed into two districts OF
two counties each, Clatsop and Co
lumbia, being contiguous counties,
forming one Of the divisions.
There are several reasons why the
change is deemed very advisable. In
the first place the work has grown
to such an extent, according to Judge
Mcbride and others familiar with the
matter, that it is not possible for one
judge to properly keep up with the
cases that arise. As a result there is
the tendency Of delay in litigation,
which works harm to citizens, while
at the same time it is unfair to ask a
judge to work night and day in en-.
deavoring TO keep up.
II the new bill becomes law, II is
probable that it viii provide for the
appointment of another Judge and
district attorney for one Of the dis
tricts, pending the next election. Also
1t would mean that the district at
torney court reporter, Judge and
other officials would at all times be
nearer home, and probably some of
them would claim residence in this
county.
Attorney Eakin and Attorney |
Hemple who were also present last
night, favored the plan with Mayor |
Smith. In the absence Of Mr.. Whyte, /
who is out Of the city on business for
! few days, Mr.. Hemple acted as sec
-etary at the session last night. Very
title other business arose for CON
A vote Of thanks was
extended to Representative McCue
or his work in favor of the promo
ion bill before the legislature.

begging; they secured much money
here, N some places telling that the
money was needed for the crippled
man, in other places ayerrinQ that
both had been in hard luck and
wished to return to Greece. Around
the city they may have secured from
$50 to Si0O, while al Tongue Point,
among the Greeks, they secured 500
They also went to Knappfon and
other nearby places, evidently max
ling rich harvest. Finally, last
Thursday, they arrived at Clifton
There they we're given permission to
sleep In the old hall, which stands ofF
70 one side from the other habitated
places. The day following they went
about among the Greeks and raised
money there, and that night both re-
tired to the hall again. The next
morning the body Of the crippled
man was discovered outside Of the
old hall, having been thrown out Of a
window.
The murdered had disappeared and
has been seen III only one place since
at Clatskanie, on Saturday night.
The crippled man had been killed
by repeated blows on the head with
bar Of iron-a drift bolt, used for
driving IN the tops Of piles to attach
ropes to. The legs had been cut
from the body, evidently with an axe.
though no axe has been found. 1t IS
possible that the murderer intended
to burn the body in the large stove
in the old hall, but for some reason
desisted and then threw it out Of the
window in the shallow water that
backs in there when the tide is high. |
To have carried the body over to the
river would have risked the danger Of
going past the houses. All Of the
murdered mans money was gone
the $500, and his share Of their aims
may have amounted to a couple Of
hundred more.
Sheriff Pomeroy went to Portland
yesterday in search for the murderer,
and a description Of the man has
been given to the authorities there
and 70 railway conductors. If the
man has gone into the interior he
may not be found for time, unless
the newspapers Of the state now give
a belated description Of him.
Stories are now told among the
Greeks Of the murderous propensities
Of Moucous, the murderer. II is said
he once killed man in Greece, and
another in California, and if these
stories are believed BY the Creeks
here il may account in part why they |
gave him money; choosing rather to
give than 70 earn his enmity. It is
said the dead man has brother
working at Marysyille, Cal.
An inquest was held yesterday BY
Coroner Gilbaugh and verdict re-
urned holding Moucous guilty Of the
.rime. The jury consisted Of b. H.
Nelch NJ Franciscovich, w. r. Bo-
lannon, William Dench. ]. BebIoch.
:. Donneiy.
The murder seems to have been an
troeious crime committed in cold
'lood for money. That the man can
scape seems unlikely.
