phases of the cannery problem. Thif

man, who understands the business
from A to Z, gave some very interest
ing and detailed information regard
ing the manner in which the Cliehalis
cannery was built and operated.
I will not go into further detail al

Mr. Walker was here, but from infor

obtained to take entire charge of the
proposition, that what this commu
nity most needs at this time is a co-i
operative cannery. i

"DANGEROUS LUNATIC" FINED.
E. C. Johnson Pleads Guilty to Sim
pie Assault Against Eglund Family
F. C. Johnson, the "dangerous lu
natic" of the telegraph message that
sent Sheriff Orr and deputies out to
the Nashville countrv post haste a
week ago yesterday to save a family
and perhaps a countryside from ter-
rorization at the hands of an armed
insane man, was arrested Thursday
by Sheriff Geers of Lincoln county
and turned over to Sheriff Orr. Be
fore Justice of the Peace Frank Hub
bard in Dallas Friday morning John
son was fined $25 and costs, totalling
about $60. Johnson remained in the
county jail until Saturday morning
when his draft on the Corvallis bank
was honored. Johnson denied threat
ening the Eglunds with a gun but ad
mitted that he had threatened Arthur
Eglund with physical violence. Con
sidering this the officers permitted
Johnson to plead to a charge of simple
assault.
The gun part of the episode is ex
plained by Johnson by saying that he
and a companion had been hunting
and in passing went into the Eglund
place to thrash Eglund for "lies he
had been circulating about me." In
trying to get at Eglund Johnson broke
a window pane and started to kick in
a door. Johnson says he laid his gun
aside when he called for Eglund to
come out.
