William Glisan
Kills Mother.
A butcher knife in his hand,
William Glisan stole quietly be
hind his aged mother while ste
was bending over a washtub at
their ranch home, one mile east
of Antelope, at ten o'clock Tues
day and jabbed the long blade
into her back. The steel pene
trated her lungs to the hilt, and
was the cause of her death a few
minutes later. The murderer is
said to be crazy, caused by a pro
longed spell of heave drinking.
He returned three weeks ago
from the Cascade Mountains,
where he herded sheep all Sum
iner. He visited his home on
two occasions, but spent practi
cally all his time since his return
at Antelope, drinking, it is said
He went home Tuesday and
lay down on a couch. His rela
tives feared violence at his hand,
and his brother, Alfred, remain
ed in the same room to watch
' him. After he had been on the
couch a half an hour he appeared
to be asleep, but later develop
ments showed he feigued slum
bering cleverly. Believing Mm
asleep, Alfred bg.in reading a
newspaper, which acted as a sort
of screen between the two men.
The slayer slipped off his shoes
while his brother was interested
in the paper, and stole out of the
room to where his mother was
toiling with her work. Alfred
did not hear a sound from the
man as he left the couch and did
not know William had gone from
the room until he heard Mrs.
Glisan scream.
He rushed outside and was at
tacked by his brother, who jerk
ed the knife from the woman's
body. The father, Edward T.
Glisan, who was in tie yard at
the time of the murder, hurried
to the son's assistance and Wil
Ham was bound with ropes and
held until Deputy Sheriff Burns
arrived from Antelope and made
Glisan his prisoner.
Every indication points to an
intention to kill bis father and
brother also. The horrible crime
was made more pitiable because
the husband and son were un
able to comfort the dying wo
man, being compelled to subdue
the crazy son. Mrs. Glisan died
before William was securely
roped.
William Glisan, who is 43 years ,
old, has been known as a "bad
man" for several years, it is
said. He stabbed Edward Jones
during a card game at Antelope
four years ago. Jones recovered
from his wounds, and Glisan,
when tried on a charge of assault
with intent to kill, was acquitted.
He was considered particularly
dangerous when he had been
drinking heavily. j
Mrs. Glisan was 63 years old
and was the mother of 10 children.
The Glisans moved to Antelope
28 years ago, being former resi
dents of Marion County.
Cattle Prices Soaring
Tendleton, Or.. With cattle
buyers offering 130 a head for
"yearlings" and with stockmen
refusing to sell even at this re
cord price, the predicted beef
famine seems to be in a fair way
to become a reality.
"It looks like I will be compell
ed to go to Portland to buy my
'feeders.' " declared B. D. Sher
ry, a local grower today. "I can
buy that cluss of cuttle, cheaper
at the Portland stockyards than
I can on the ranges of Eastern
Oregon. Stock cattle actually
are higher here now than are
beeves "
While admitting he had uever
received 10 for a yearling, Mr.
Sherry said he refused that price
yesterday. He explained that
the few yearlings he possessed
were not for sale at any price
for tho reason that they could
not be replaced.
Pendleton butchers are offer
ing 10 cents a pound for dressed
veal, but are unable to half
supply the local demand.
