UNION'S SCHOOL.
A Magnificent and Impos
ing Structure.
THE PRIDE OF OUR CITY-
School Opened Monday with a Fair At
tendanceThe TMChera CourM
of Study.
It is with pride wo are able this
week to present our readers with a
out of iho new and magnificent school
building erected in this city during
tho summer, and which has just been
completed.
The building as it now stands cost
in the neighborhood of $20,000, but in
point of beauty anil convenience it is
far ahead of many buildings costing
nearly twice the amount, which speaks
well for the architect.
Tho old building was a two story
brick, 13x55, and was erected in 1S78
at a cost of about $7,000. For the
past two or three years the building
has been greatly crowded and it was
necessary to rent outside buildings in
which to accommodate the large num
ber of pupils, so it was thought best to
build an addition to tho old building.
After several meetings of the voters
of the district, it was finally decided to
bond the distiict in a sum sufliciont to
build a good and substantial addition.
Bids wore invited for doing the work,
to be accompanied by plans and speci
fications. There were .three bids re
ceived, and after duo consideration tho
board accepted the bid of Dion
Keefc, of Walla Walla, for the con
struction of the building, 'l.'ixGi, and
for the addition of another story over
tho whole, and for cementing tho out
side of tho entire building, the con
tract price being $11,205. The plans
and specifications of the building were
drawn by J. T. Jones, a competent
engineer of Walla Walla, and the con
struction of the building was superin
tended by A. I. .lones, his brother.
The material and workmanship
througlumt is first-class. The first
two stories are of brick, with 14 foot
ceilings, while the third story is of
Mansard design built of of wood, with
12 foot ceiling, the exterior boing cov
ered with steel shingles. Tho roof of
the building is covered with tin, there
being but little wood exposed, making
tho building almost lire proof.
At present only ssven recitation
rooms aio completed ready for use,
and while as yet only ilvo teachers
liavo been employed, it is thought one
or two more will bo required before
tho end of tho present term of school.
Besides tho recitation rooms there is a
private room for the principal. All
the rooms are provided with tho latest
improved furniture. Tho third floor
of tho building remains uncompleted
at present, but if necessary three or
four more largo recitation rooms can
soon be added. So it will bo seen that
ample preparations have been made
for several years to come, as tho build
ing is capablo of accommodating
about 500 pupils.
The building was completed and
accepted on Saturday last, and on
Monday morning schpol opened with
a fair attendance. Tho term of school
is to bo eight months, but owing to
tho late dato at which it is started it
will probably close at tho end of six
months, as a great many of the larger
pupils will have to quit beforo that
time.
On enquiry wo havo gloanod tho
following information relative to tho
professional careor of our teachers,
which will bo of interest to tho friends
and patrons of tho school :

the ensuing year wo entertain great
hopes of having a successful school.

CAUGHT AT LAST.
Chtks. Abornolhy, Murder
or or Win. Duncan.
ARRESTED IN WASHINGTON.
Tiit Otat Worked Up by a Diteotlvt
Who Loses ills Lire A Lare
Reward Offered.
The Fairhaveu Herald of November
Ith contains a lengthy account of the
arrest of a man supposed to bo Charles
Abernothy who murdered Win. Duncan
at Pierre, S. 1)., in 1SSS). Our citizens
aro well acquainted with tho circum
stances, as Mr. Duncan was a brother
to Chas. and Fred Duncan, of linker
City, also to Mrs. Dunham Wright, of
.Medical Springs, and Mrs. Gcer and
Mrs. Murphy of tho Cove. Tho Her-
aid gives tho following account of tho
afTair :
"A scusational sequel to tho
killing of W. L. F. Souter in tho Blue
Canyon disaster last Sunday, trans
pired yesterday in tho arrest of a man
supposed to bo Charles Abernathy,
wanted for tho murder of a man named
Duncan, near Pierre, S. I)., in 188!).
Souter, when ho met his untimely
death, was not a regular employe of tho
Bluo Canyon mine but was only work
ing Micro as a detective to work up a
case against Abernethy.
Abornolhy arrived in this city about
three weeks ago. Souter lived in Da
kota when tho crimo for which Aber
nothy is wanted was committed, and
recognized him as soon as ho saw him
in this city. Ho immediately pro
ceeded to make his acquaintance and
insinuate himself into his confidence.
Abernethy was looking for work. Sou
ter told him that ho also wanted em
ployment and proposed that they
together go to tho Bluo Canyon mine.
Hero Souter took Superintendent Wat
kins into his confidence and they
wore both givon employment until
such time us tho identity of Aber
nethy should bo established. Souter
wired United States Attomoy Sterling,
of Huron, S. D,, of his discovery and
U8ked instructions. A letter contain
ing a full description of Abernethy
camo Saturday last, but had not not
reached Souter at tho timoof tho acci
dent. Attomoy Sterling was advised of
Kouter's trugio death last Sunday, and
on Monday, City Marshal Parker re
ceived a telegram, instructing him to
arrest Abernethy at once, Tho arrest
was mudo yesterday morning at tho
Bluo tluuyou camp by Shorill' Do Lor
linier, and tho prisoner is now safely
lodged in tho county jail,
John urloy and J, J). Icody, of
I this city, resided in Dakota when tho
I murder was committed, and arc t'uniil
I iar with tho circumstances. " lcr
J nelhy had been employed ns an luMlci
I in Charles Eisner's hotel in Sti;:.:i-.
(said Mr. Farley to a Herald repot n
, last evening. "In March. ISS'.l. bo
j was discharged and in a fow !.!
: landlord Kl-ner missed a tine jonu :
j horse. Soon after this Aberm tli , m
company with a man named Duncin.
; arrived in Pierre with a bunch .1.
, horses, which they old, realizing irom
J the sale $:5.(KX) in cash and a lino
I young stallion. From Pierre Abcr
! nnthy and his partner, Duncan, crossed
I the river to tho Sioux reservation. A
; few days afterward it party of Indian
J children nt play on the reservation
saw it ropo lying on the ground, one
end of which was buried. Upon tak
ing hold of it and pulling it, the arm
of a man was drawn out of the loose
earth. The terrified children reported
their find.
Assistance soon arrived and Dun
can's body was found. About two
weeks after this discovery Abernethy
showed up at Smith Bros.' ranch,
about fifteon miles north of Sturgis,
with tho young stallion which ho and
Duncan had obtained at Pierre. Hero
he sold tho stallion for much Iocs than
its value, Before ho got away from
Smith Bros.' ranch, ofllcers from
Pierre, who wore on his trail, arrived
and captured him. Two thousand
dollars was found in his possession
Ho was taken to Sturgis but the feel
ing against him there was so intense
that he was moved to Huron, where
he was lodged in jail to await trial.
Two days before the time sot for hi-'
trial ho broke jail and no clue of him
was discovered until the appearance
in this city of tho man whom Souter
recognized as Duncan's murderer."
Mr. Souter was positive that the
man arrested is Abernethy. The
question of his identity will bo settled
in a fow days upon tho arrival of a
man now on his way here from Dako
ta with a warrant for his arrest. Sou
ter had been a sheritl' in Dakota, and
in his official capacity ho made several
clover captures. Ho was a man rare
ly mistaken in tho identity of persons,
and had had considerable experience
in tho identification and apprehension
of criminals.
Tliero is a reward of $1,500 for the
apprehension of Abernothy $500 by
tho state, and $1,000 by Duncan's
friends.
