Walcott arrived in our City on last Monday, having left his surviving party on Wil low creek. We had a conversa tion with Col. Wolcott aufl find that he is now surveying a line from the mouth of Boiso River to the head of Willow creek and from there he will run two lines to the head of this, John Day vallov, and then continue il i su vcv down .John Pay f! othc Columbia River, k apj i nr.- that ti e company w:n ts in find the nearest and most leasable route from Boise to the Columbia, and as far as has been surveyed this route is very much the shortest and in all probability, if the road is built, will be the one selected. Col gives as his opinion that the road will be a broad gausrc one and will be finished through to the Columbia Biver in two jears after work is commenced. We took pains to ascertain if ihe two canyons below this point on the River would be any trouble and as a result, we .are sure that no obstruction wnaiovH- will oe lOtina oeiow 1i v r ill iicre mat win nmcier n, kmii- . . 1 -111 I T" II I'oad from passing down the John Day.

Fort Harney, Ogn., Sept. 1st. '79. Editor News; Dennis Murphy foreman on Devine'a ranch 15 mi es from here, shot and killed James Viek ers at the above place this morning. The facts of the case are these: It seems thar Murphy ordered Chas' Yick- ers, tn.ther to the decked, out of his (Murphy's) camp a few days prvviou-- ly. Charles Vickers returned from 'his Post yesterday and visited Mur phy's camp for the ostensible object of eeing his brother. Murphy ordeivd him t- addle up and leave. He re plied that he would when Jim came, (meaning his brother) who returned in a shoit time. Both brothers then hp proached Murphy in u threatening manner, calling him all ports of had names. Murphy gut up to del'md himself and w s instantly covered with u levolver in the hand of the de ceased. Murphy was unarmed and fearing violence at the hands of the Vickers, went and armed himself and returned to hi camp this morning. Upon his arrival in camp there were none of the Vickers there except Wit liam who had no h nd in the aff tir Jauic- Viekeis cuie into camp this inor'tin.' a'id was warned by his broth er Wil i:im t It ;ive a Murphy va ar iind.
