Word was received in this city yc
le relay from authoritative sources at
Foft Steven that Ccorge Saylor, the
private in the 34th Company, Coast
Artillery, who sjiot at the barkeeper
at Hammond sonic days ago, had
been subjected to a summary trial by
court martial at that post, the case
being concluded on the evening of
Wednesday last.
First Lieutenant E. J. Cullen served
at judge advocate, and the court, en
baiKjue, was made up of the follow
iiig named officers, towit: First Lieu
tenant E. K. Fa ms worth, First Lieu
tenant K. P. Kcclcr; First Lieutenant
R. C. Tuttle; Second Lieutenant W
M. Fulton (aide-de-camp to General
Brush, commanding at Vancouver,
Wash.), First Lieutenant F. J. Behr
of Fort Columbia, who served the de
fendant as counsel. All of thes gen
tlemen belonged to the local staff, ex
cept First Lieutenant Tuttle, who be
longs to the medical department, and
Lieutenant Fulton, who is attached to
the Twenty-fourth Infantry.
The findings of the court are kept
secret on account of the rules of the
service which require this until the
commanding officer of the department
to whom all such things are referred,
has passed upon them, and nothing
will be known of it until General
Brush, at Vancouver, shall give the
matter publicity. AH the witnesses in
the case were summoned and on hand,
including one that had moved to
Portland, who was brought down and
held at the Government's expense
pending the trial. '
In the course' of a conversation
yesterday with Captain Lamereaux,
in command at Fort Stevens (who, by
the way, did not serve on the court
martial) that officer made plain to an
Astorian reporter, the desire of all
officers at the posts situated at the
mouth of the Columbia, that such
transgressions of the civil law, as
Saylor's, should meet prompt and
thorough handling at the hands of the
civil courts and officers; and that in
default of such action, they intend to
prosecute all such matters on the in
stant they are knowledgablc at the
forts here. The service is always

be made, the whole outlook for a new
building would , unquestionably grow
brighter.
The tentative plan for a hew struc
ture call for at least 16 room. An as
sembly room is needed, and there isn't
even an assembly room in the pres
ent building, the McCIure's. A gym
nasium is also a feature that could be
provided for in a new structure. The
old McCIure's building wa erected in
l83, and it was thoroughly well built
and has already done fine service. It
in said that repairs on the building
now would be simply a waste of
money, though with care it could be
used for a long time yet as one of
the grade school buildings.
The fact that the talk of a new
High School building is being revived
among the school authorities will at

A PROPOSITION IS SAID TO
HAVE BEEN MADE TO AS
TORIA SCHOOL BOARD.
The crowded conditions-of the high
school building seem to render a new
structure necessary and it is known
that interest in this matter has recent
ly been revived among the members
of the Astoria school board. It seems
to be agreed that if the question of a
site of a site suitable in location and
otherwise can be settled upon the
matter of then erecting a fine High
School building for Astoria will fol

teenth street, up near the location of
the rock crushing establishment, but
many do not look upon this location
with any marked favor. It is under

made to the board by a well known
gentleman to make a trade, to trade
the site owned by the district for an
other gocd sized lot in a presumably
far more favorable location, and one
that is not very far up" the hillside. If
this trade can be made on satisfac

ing to close the saloons and the cigar
stands and everything else that is
closable. In Astoria, too, the saloons
will all be closed this coming Sun
day. The prosecuting attorney, Mr.
Tongue, is not taking any action to
bring this about, however, and it may
be presumed that he doesn't know
many of them have been wide open
for many moons. It's the presence of
the grand jury, and the fact that the
circuit court is in session that are
having this effect upon the Astoria
saloonkeepers who have beefl defying
the Sunday closing laws. '
At least that's the word going
around. Those who delight in a little
Sunday tippling would better get their
goods in advance for this Sabbath. Of
course, for the initiated, there may be
a few back doors open just a little
bit, but the tip has gone forth that
there's a dry time coming.
, Meantime the fairly numerous sa
loonkeepers who do obey the laws,
and who do close on Sundays,. are said
not to be in good humor over the fact
that many of the others defy the law
and defy public opinion.
