ELIAS KEEHEY DIES Pioneer of 1846 and Father of Dr. Keeney Passes. VETERAN OF INDIAN WARS After Whitman Massacre Mr. Keeney Helps to Bory Dead 5oId Is Png In California and lxne- , ly Trip East Made. Oregon lost on of Its oldest pioneers and moat highly respected cltixene In the death of Ellas Keney. who died st 11 o'clock yesterday morning at Good Samaritan HosplUI after a prolonged Illness. . Funeral aervlcea will be con ducted at Brownsville. Thursday morn- COXVICTKD OK MAXS.LAI-UHTKI-. Ing. Brownsville was Mr. Keeney's home for CO years. Mr. Keeney was born In Ray County, Missouri. December IS, 18;8. His youth ful days were spent with his father on th Keeney homestead. On May 10. IMS. he with hia brother. Captain Jonathan Keeney, and an im migrant tram of about 40 wagons, started across the plains and after a long.peril oua Journey reached the Willamette Val ley. September 14, 184. Mr. Keeney soon after took up a claim, near where th town of Brownsville Is now located, and during th first Winter of pioneer life ho wove buckskin clothes, split eOOO rails snd fenced and prepared for cultivation SO acres of land. His sub sistence that Winter ass mainly boiled wheat and wild game. Veteran of Indian Wars. In 1M7 tho Csyusa War broke 'out and he, with others, formed a company to go to the relief of the settlers In Eastern Oregon. On of their first camps was on the Willamette River near where th Burnside brldse now stands. There was then no settlement In Portland and all th country was virtually a wilderness. The company then proceeded to Walla Walla, where they found the bodies of tho Whitman party scattered over tha battleground. Th dead were burled at the foot of th steep hill, where the Whitman monument now stands.. After burying the bodies th party went in search of the Indians and on th third day th redskins were found and several hard battlea fraJjKht. In th battle of Tukanon River, about SO miles north of Walla 'Walla. Mr. Keeney escaped without injury, although both the front and back horns of his saddle were shot off by th Indians. Lonely Trip Made to Fast. After the Indians were routed he re turned to his farm, where he remained until 1849. Hearing of the discovery of gold In California he went with his brother Jonathan south In search of wealth. They brought back about 13.000 In gold dust and thla he con veyed to Missouri horseback and alone. He travejed for three weeks without seeing a white person. On reaching home the gold dust was cashed and most of the money spent for cattla with a view of driving them to Oregon and stocking or helping to stock this country. Another immigrant train was formed and with most of hia relatives and the cattle a third trip orer the Ions;. lonely road was started In the Spring of 1851. After the usual difficulties and trials of the long jour ney they reached th Cascade Range, where a heavy storm caused tha cattle to stampede. Tha Indians then helped to scatter them and but few were ever seen again by tbe whites. Keener also served In the Rogu River War. where hi brother Jonathan waa a Captain. In 1800 he was married to Miss Mir ramie Brown, who died In Istl, leav ing four children. In 1SS7 he married Mtas Luclnda Van Winkle, who died In 188 i. leaving six children.

GIRL, SAD, IS MADE HAPPY rrosporous - Appearing Traveler Comes lo Maid's Relief, Buying; Transportation for . Jlcr to VancouvcrIittle Boy Lost. This season of approaching joy and gladness is not without its sorrow and pathos, as is witnessed almost every day by Incidents st tbe Union and North Bank depots. In the rush of eager travelers to reach their home for the holiday sea son a few pitiful cases daily are sifted out that detract somewhat from the general joyous tone. Yesterday a little girl, who had come to Portland from, Hlllsboro on the elec tric line, with barely enough money to buy a ticket to Vancouver, reported at the union depot that she had lost her purse and that she . did not know anyone in the city who might help her. A prosperous-sppearlng; traveler came to her relief and purchased transporta tion to Vancouver on the electric road. The Elrl. who cried when she told her tale, cried again when she was given her ticket but this time from Joy. Family Gets Separated. The trip of a party of three a mother and her two sons was neces sarily delayed for a day because of the separation or one of tne dovs irom me others Just before train time. The dis tracted mother and anxious brother conducted a painful search for the little fellow. Soon they were joined by depot attendants and aome of the passengers. The missing boy finally was found on Seventh street. He had become lost in the maze of halls and waiting-rooms and had wandered out to the street in a vain hope of Joining his mother in that direction. He was not so mucu excited as the ethers. A vouna- man from Seattle who had started to San Francisco to spend the holidays with--friends was Intercepted here yesterday by a message that told him or tha serious Illness of his mother at Seattle. He took the next train for the northern city and telegrapneo nis friends In California that he will not be there for Christmas. At least one ticket between portiana and Spokane will not be used as soon as vfas Intended and maybe not In time for Christmas because the ewner was delayed by Illness. He sent the coupon to the depot yesterday, requesting a re fund for this reason. First Christmas Home Trip On. An old man who passed through Portland on his way to Omaha yester day told one of the station officers that thla will be his first Christmas at home for 33 yeara He has been living in Southwestern Washington . for- that length- of time and has held infrequent communication with his family.. He does, not know whether or not any of the members are living, but he expects to find enough of them to extend him Christmas welcome. Travel out of Portland has been un usually heavy this year, but the long trips don t seem to De as numerous as fnrmrrlr. Transcontinental travel Is now about over. The number of people leaving Portland on account of the Christmas rush was greater Monday than yesterday. By leaving Monday people could travel to new xora. r Hoston and have the advantage of reaching their destination a day or two before Christmas. The traffic to Chicago and Missouri River . pofnts is not heavy this year, but the last few days have witnessed manv Inquiries with reference to trips to the . lnterrobuntain region. Many Portland people have been recruited from these sections and are eager to re turn home during the holiday period. Heavy Is European Travel. vrnnean travel has been ' heavy. Much of this started outi of Portland ista in November. Beginning with the early part of December and continuing until the early part of last week most persons desiring to spend Christmas in various European cities started their long Journeys. By leaving here a week ago Monday it was possible, by close connections In New York, to reach Eng land In time. The Influx of travelers also has been noticeable at the depot in the last two or three days. From now until Satur day evening and Sunday morning the steadv Stream of people desiring to be In Portland on the one great festival of the year will pour through the gates at the local depots. The electric lines Will onn um.. , The most noticeable rush; however, will be on the last few days when the hi thoroughfares yesterday wero treated . . -r -ti il. students from the various state schools and the people living In small cities in the stato will begin to arrive. LAW OF BAPTISM RELAXED Presbyterians Omit Requirement for Pouring or Sprinkling. Portland Presbytery approved and disapproved of a nunjjjer of overtures from the General Assembly yesterday at a called session held in Mount Tabor Presbyterian Church. One of the most lmportnnt overtures. Voted for by the Presbytery, eliminated from the Discipline the description of the kind of baptism. Present laws require "pouring or sprinkling."and the assembly ' pro poses to omit these words and ma ice the requirement simple baptism, with out 'specifying pouring or sprinkling. C. . W. Hays and others pleaded for the adoption of this overture, arguing it would extend the scope of the church and induce recognition of methods em ployed by other churches in baptismal services, even recognizing Catholic baptism as valid. I The Presbytery refused to Tatify the recommendation of the assembly to change the present fiscal year of the church to the calendar year. The Presbytery also declined to ap prove the movement to llm't publica tions on pending subjects In the church and at sessions of the General .Assem bly. llev. William Parsons vigorously at tacked this proposition, declaring It not a privilege, but the right of every Presbyterian to be heard In print, if necessary. "We -don't want centralization of power," declared Mr. Parsons. "That would deprive a Presbyterian of the right to print his side of the case, and we oppose the development of any such centralization In the Presbyterian Church. 1 am too much a Democrat to tolerate anytMng of that sort. It is not my privilege, but my right to be beard, and if a man is a poor speaker he should be allowed to print his side." - Rev. W. R. Spies, of the Congrega tional Association of Montana, who re ceived a call from Trinity Presbyterian Church, of Portland, was received Into the Portland Presbytery on recommen dation of the committee. He had been a Presbyterian and had entered the Congregational Association temporarily. Rev. Mr. Spies will be installed as pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church In the near future. In the matter of the call of Rev. M. C- Martin to Kenilworth Presbyterian Church, his case was continued until next meeting of the Presbytery, as his credentials had not yet been received from the Minneapolis Presbytery He will continue In the pnlplt of Kenil worth Church. J. H. Lewis, treasurer, reported the following balances in the Home Mis sion fund: . ' Emergency. 08.0; contingency, 845.34; balance on hand, $1187.35,- Rev. W. S. Holt and others talked of .home missions. At noon women of the church served refreshments in the lecture room and addresses were made by Rev. Henry Marcotte. Rev. John W. Welch, Rev. i. E. Snyder, Rev. E. M. Sharp and Rev. W. S. Holt. LAWYER CONFESSES BLUFF Yankwlch Admits He Got $1683 on Just Claim of $23. That he used - "threats, persuasion and argument" to get $1683 for his cli ents, knowing they were entitled to only $23. and that the contractor which he thus dragooned lost $30,000 on the Job, were admissions made by Attorney Harry Yankwlch, on preliminary hear ing for 'larceny by bailee, In Justice Bell's court yesterday. Five Roumanians, laborers on the Natron-Eugene Railroad, allege Yank wlch collected the money for them with the agreement he was to have one fourth, but retained $1000. One of the claimants said he had been offered $600 by Yankwlch to flee the country and bear the blame of having taken all the money. Testifying in his own defense, Yank wlch presented a second contract, whereby he was to have the first $1000 collected. He said that upon going to Eugene, he found his clients were entitled- to almost nothing, but he man aged to slip in certain charges, which the contractor allowed, upon Yank wich's promise to release all Hens. "I made the contractor believe his contract with my clients was no good," said Yankwlch. After returning -to Portland, the attorney was Informed his clients refused to release the liens. The hearing has occupied two after noon sessions of the court, -and will continue today. "SMALL FRY" ARE CAUGHT Indictments of "Red Light" Leaders ' Are Expected Later. ' With the arrest of three alleged un desirables yesterday the first endeavor of the December grand Jury to sweep the "red light" district came to a halt. Yesterday's prisoners were A. Georgl, v a to this novel sight. Frank L Smith selected four biS oxen to deliver : -t n.f tonra Smjft."- msclpl- nf 99R WAer Kfrppt. of the Alameda saloon at Second and Main streets, and John Kahouras and Jim Ilarpas, of the Stockholm lodging house. These arrests exhausted 13 warrants authorized by Indictments re turned by the grand jury, and it is now believed the cases will rest until other indictments are found. All. the prisoners but Ada Patterson, of the Plaza rooming-house, were re leased under $1000 bonds. Few pos sessed sufficient money of their own to secure their release. In most cases friends deposited the $500 required. To date, probably with one or two exceptions, the North End defendants arrested are "small fry." This bases the rumor that most of the 13 are held principally aa witnesses and that the chiefs will be arrested later. Louise Olcese was released on ball. Social Hall Xcarlng Completion.
