Civil War A!torf4s..

-. q
81 There is noted already q revival Of
the civil war fiction story, due no
doubt to the fact that this year COM
pletes a half century since the begin
ming Of that most. stupendous conflict.
For generation after Appomattox the
war story was ubiquitous. Fiction
lists found in the great struggle mate
rial for life sized novels, novelties.
short stories and plays. Readers Of
those days finally got plenty and some
more Of war fiction, the subject palled,
ana there was a demand for other
sorts. Consequently the Union neuten-
ant hero and the fair Confederate
heroine faded out Of popularity.
But now there is new generation
upon the stage, and there is demand
for new civil war fiction. There is no
reason to doubt that this demand will
be supplied amply in the next few
years. Both the streets and the woods
are full of fiction writer's Of measur-
able ability, who may be depended
upon to take advantage Of the public
thirst for thrill a la war. The Amert-
can civil war was replete with Incl.
dents which need comparatively little
surgical treatment at the hands Of the
doctors Of imagination to be developed
into readable stories. That war was
rich in situations from which stories
founded altogether upon fiction may be
fabricated. Go to it, short and long
story writer's, and turn out some tales
OF true romance to Offset the too per-
sistent shop talk of the "business
story" Of today. Give US some war sto-
rtes to make the old fellows recall the
sixties and implant in the new genera
ton sense Of respect and reverence
for the heroes Of those days.
But-please don't ignore this advice
ring few changes on the Union lieu
tenant hero and the fair Confederate
heroine. Most of the older stories of
the civil war told how Lieutenant Per
kins of New Hampshire fell in love
with Lucille Fairfax of Virginia, who
scorned him Though she loved him)
until he saved her brothers life.

Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re-

having him hang with the arms ex-

is very efficient IN certain cases. since

WILLIAMSON FILES
COUNTER COMPLAINT

Denying almost in full the sensa-
tional charges made against him by
his wife in her suit for divorce,
George E. Williamson, through his at
torneys, Carter & Smythe, has made
answer to her complaint and filed a
counter complaint in which he charg-
es his wife of almost everything of
which she accuses him and, he, too,
asks for decree of divorce with the
custody of their IS months old child.
Williamson alleges that his wife,
ever since their marriage in 1909, has
pursued a course of cruel and inhu-
man treatment towards him which
has made his life extremely burden
some. He decares in his counter
complaint, that on number of oc-
casions, she has assaulted him with
stove wood and on one occasion used
huge butcher knife after she had
locked all the means of exit. Furth-
er, he alleges she is addicted to the
excessive use of intoxicating liquors
and that frequently she became drunk
in her home. At times she called
him vile names. He charges that she
deserted him and went to the home
of her mother on the reservation and
that later she kidnapped their child
from him, and that further that she
had been guilty of lewd and lascivious
conduct with a-man by the name OF
Bert Painter.
In answer to these counter charg-
es, Mrs. Lizzie Williamson has filed
a reply through Attorneys Peterson
& Wilson in which she denies her ac-
cusatlons and repeats her former
charges that he has frequently beat
en- and cursed her, and took her
child from her forcibly.
In view of the assertions of both
whichever one has the most cause for
grievance, it is safe to conclude that
their connubial relations have not
been all that make a union happy.

Judge Had First Hand Evidence.

Sam Waw-Waw and Henry. two In
dians from the local reservation, were
brought before Judge Fitz Gerald in
police court this morning charged
with being drunk but both protested
that a mistake had been made. They
forgot, however, that last evening
while in a bfbulous state they met the
Judge while he was on his way to a
meeting of the Redmen and, when
they were reminded of the fact, they
admitted their guilt. The former
paid five dollars fine but the latter Is
being kept in the city pail to await the
coming OF the agency police as he is a
pupil at the Indian school. The only
other offender in court this morning
was NJ. E. Wilson who paid the usual
five dollars fine for his spree.

the right of way through the allotted
lands owing to lack of information as
to how to proceed. The board cannot
deal with the Indians direct and thus
far Major Swartzlander has not been
given authority to act for the Indians
in the matter. However the matter
has been laid before the Indian de-
partment and it is the supposition that
within a short time authority will be
given the agent to act or else some
other solution of the problem offer
ed.
Discussing this subject today one
member of the water board expressed
the hope that steps towards securing
the right of way may be taken i'm
mediately after the special election
which occurs May 8.

across all unalloted Indian lands and
also across the Indian school lands.

Looking For Fruit Land.

D. P. Leach of Portland who has
been a druggist for many years, has
a desire to quit his labors as a filler
of prescriptions and retire to a fruit
ranch. With that end in view, he has
been visiting the fruit sections of
Umatilla country during the past few
days. Yesterday he went to Pilot

Two hundred and seventy-three

carry title to 29.9s0.18 acres of land
1t has taken considerable time to
secure these patents from the gov
ernment and only after personal
visit was made to the interior de-
partment by former manager. d. H.
Blossom, were they finally issued OF
the state land board. After being
received It required some time to
make out individual patents and
the blanket patent recorded at the
county seats OF Bingham and Blaine
in which the land Is situated. At
this time it is safe to say that they
are now in the hands of the land
owners who have made proof on
their lands. This relieves a situa-
ton which has to an extent handi-
capped that tract.
