Information has U-«-n brought to The Spokesman otHce «liable iterating who attended the service, that in the sermon shaw took occasion to bitterly attack the character of Mrs. . Sparks, manager of the Sparks Theater of this city. |A the result of tin- attack made on Mrs. Sparks by Crenshaw |kas knocked down on »*th street Tuesday afternoon by A. J. y. a friend of Mrs. Sparks. Mr. Haney was arrested and i la-fore City Recorder Hewitt who said he did not want to Du- case as he was prejudiced. Mr. Haney went before Jus- <>f the Peace W. C. Walker, plead guilty to assault, and was It was stated on good authority that the city marshal tcaik illy," such as policemen carry, away from Crenshaw at the he arrested Mr. Haney.

The Spokesman’s informants tin- attack on Mrs. Sparks was a glaring disgrace to the whole > and was a cowardly attempt on the part of Crenshaw to ‘‘get |" at the moving picture how, through Mrs. Sparks and the i«r because the council would not close the show up on Sun- e\ enings. Attack I la.-ted on Gossip Reports, Crenshaw Said Rt L. Skee, a friend of Mrs. Sparks, went to Crenshaw’s house ■fey evening to talk with bun m regard to M l attack on the i, and Mr. Skee informs The Spokesman that Crenshaw ac- k lodged that he knew nothing himself against Mrs. Sparks, nil the information he had for his attack was from what lad heard from gossip brought to him. Mr. Skee further that Crenshaw stated he had a perfect right to say anything hinted to from the pulpit about anyone or anything, if he Iglit it was for the general good. He gave Mr. Skee to under- il that no one was safe from anything he wanted to say, with Without foundation, in the pulpit by him, Crenshaw, that the Ltasmogoria of his mind prompted him to launch forth. It is stated that an attempt was made to arrest Mr. Haney Pnluy morning on the same charge he plead guilty to and was L and take him b l f o n another juatice o f the |)NM , Deputy ’ill McClay phoned to the district attorney at I’rineville as jhat was trying to la- done and word came from there to the |es trying to eause tin- arrest that they had la-tter go slow leave Haney alone as they had no case. ¡renshaw also tri<-d to have Tim Lane arrested yesterday tried before a justice of tin- peace for assaulting him several Ihs ago. Mr. Lane was arrested once on this charge and I n the city recorder's court. The case was dropped this ling as the district would not prosecute it. uhlir sentiment in Redmond is thoroughly aroused over the n of Crenshaw last Sunday and subsequently, and he is se- y censured and condemned. rs. A. It. Sparks, the lady whom Crenshaw so unjustly ma il, came here last fall and invested a considerable sum of y in the moving picture business. Her house has always conducted in a clean, orderly manner and she enjoys the re ntal confidence of the business people and the public gener- It is unfortunate that her name has to In- brought before lublic in such a manner, and the cause of it lieing such a n teter as Crenshaw.

SUPPORTED Addison Bennett, a special staff writer for the Portland Oregonian, had the following "story" about Red mond In the March 29th issue of that paper. Mr. Bennett is one of the best special writers on the coast, is a close observer of conditions, and his opinions and writings can be de pended upon as being as near au thentic as possible: Kedmond. Crook County, Oregon, March 29.— It can properly be said that Redmond Is In the heart of the new irrigated district of this county. I^trge areas are irrigated about Prlnevllle. from the waters of Ocho co, McKay. Veazy. I.awslon and oth er creeks, and from Crooked River, but these lands, as a rule, have been under water for a number of years, some of them for over a quarter of a century. There were In the old days some small patches Irrigated from the Deschutes, but mostly by stock men. By the newer Irrigated district I mean those sections put under water by the old Deachutes Irrigation Co., the Columbia Southern Co. and the various other Carey and private proj ects. Redmond is on the railroad, about 17 miles north of Its present termin us at Bend and 236 miles from Port land. The train on the O.-W. R. & N. that leaves Portland at 10 o’clock In the morning reaches here at 7:30 p. m.; leaving here at 7:24 in the morning you reach Portland at 5:30 p. m. The Prlnevllle passenger traffic comes and goes via Redmond, autos leaving there about 6 in the morning to catch the train here for points on the line toward Portland, and upon the arrival of the train from Port land at night autos leave immediate ly for Prlnevllle. reaching there about 9 o'clock. Other auto lines al so make train connections for the Sisters country. These facts are giv en to show that Redmond Is a place of much Importance. Population Estimate Is I.VKI The town Is about six years old. The first tent was put up on the townstte August 7. 1906, and It at tracted so much attention that sev eral buildings were erected during that summer and fall. By the spring of 1910 there were more than enough people to Incorporate, and (hts was done June 10 of that year. This was about eight months before the first train up the Descnutes Can yon reached Madras, and the road reached here late the same fall, the long delay being caused by the erec tion of the great bridge over Crook ed River, six or seven miles to the north. Just what the population Is now Continued on page 8
