On the morning of the 5tn inst.
The Dalles and Prineville stage had
peached a point about four miles north
' f Prineville, six masked men rushed
into the road and ordered the driver,
John Miller, to stop, and then with
drawn pistols commanded A. Doon, a
Chinese passenger and proprieter of a
hotel in Prineville, to get down from his
- seat. The Chinaman obeyed when one
of the men struck him a severe blow in
the mouth with the butt of a pistol. The
Chinaman's hands were then bound be
hind his back and in this condition he
was struck., several times, the men
threatening the while to kill him unless
he promised to leave the country and
take all the Chinamen in Prineville with
him. One of the assaulting party then
cutoff the Chinaman's cue, and after
again trying to make him promise to
leave the country and take all the China
men with him, the men put him on the
stage and ordered the driver to move on.
Doon then went as far as Hay Creek
"and retumed the same evening to Prine
ville. The affair has caused intense ex
citement around Prineville. . Efforts
have been made by Sheriff Booth and a
number of others, to discover the parties
to the cowardly transaction, but without
success, though some pretend to know
all about it. and pretend they have evi
dence sufficient to warrant them
saying who the guilty parties are. ;

Club was held at the residence of Dr,
W. E. Rinehart yesterday evening at
which there was a full attendance, as
many as nine tables having been occu
pied with the game. The night hap
pened to be the anniversary of the tin
wedding of the host and hostess, and
they were the recipients of many pres
ents in this useful metal. The refresh
ments were served on tin and the first
prize, awarded to Mrs. Crowe, was a tin
kettle, and the booby, which fell to the
lot of Fred Houghton, was a tin horn
significantly labeled "I cannot "play
cards a little bit but I can toot my horn
whenever I please." The company
separated at an early hour after having
spent a highly enjoyable time.
They have a man out in Kingsley who
has the queer habit of eating up and
drinking up everything eatable and
drinkable that comes in bis way. A
box of pills or a bottle of medicine, pre
scribed for no matter what disease, is all
one to him. Not long ago he drank at
one swallow a whole bottle of S. B. liver
cure and washed it down with a bottle
of female tonic. ' Two days ago he drank
nearly a whole bottle of sarsaparilla at
one gulp. Horse- condition powders,
bottles of XXX liniment- and every
thing of that nature require to be care
fully kept out of his way. The queer
thing about it is that medicine seems to
have no more effect on his intestines
than they would have on the inside of a
stomach pump. The only notable ex
ception to this occurred after the bottle
of S. B. had been swallowed. It was
noticed that he was uneasy in his sleep
all that nigbt. - .
' An exchange says : A man went into
the postoffice of a neighboring town re
cently and told the postmaster that he
desired thirteen two cent stamps for a
cent and a quarter. The postmaster re
fused to give them to him, stating that
the cost would be twenty-six cents. The
man presisted in "getting his order,
claiming that he could get them at any
office for that amount and even threat
ened the government official if he con
tinned to refuse him. Finally the post
master ordered him out, but the man
none daunted, took a cent and a twenty
five cent piece from bis pocket, and lay
ing them down on the counter, he re
ceived his stamps for a cent and a quar
ter. The postmaster was a little dis
comfited for a while, but now enjoys the
joke as well as any one.
A very sad accident happened last
Sunday in the Dufur neighborhood
whereby George Chase, a fine intelligent
boy of thirteen years lost his life. The
boy had gone, in company with his elder
brother, with a four horse team to the
mountains for a load of wood. On the
return the elder brother visited a neigh
bor leaving the boy to drive the team.
When within a mile or so from home
the boy fell off the load lighting on the
double trees when- one of the horses
kicked him vigorously in the 'side so
that he became stunned and fell .to the
ground while one of bis ieet was caught ,
in the bounds. In this position he was
dragged for a distance of seventy-five
yards, the horses running and kicking
the while till at laBt his foot became dis
entangled and the wagon wheels ran
over his head and one leg. Mhe boy
continued to breathe for abont three
hours but never recovered consciousness
till be breathed his last. He was bur
ied on Monday in the Odd Fellow's cem
etery near Dufur. The deceased was the
son of Sam Chase familiarly known as
U. P." Sam. The boy bore a high
character for intelligence and industry
and the family have the heartfelt sym
pathy of all who know them.

It is a Bubject of general remark that
there are more birds in the country, par

on all our fruit and shade trees.

- Senator Hill, who seems to be much
more anxious to push his candidacy for
the White houee than he is to serve his
constituents in the United States' sen
ate made a speech the other day at
Roanoke, Ya., in which he said that
"Today we have not a republican official
from one end of the state to the other,
elected by the people at large." He
assured bis hearers that they had seen
the last, in his judgement, of a republi
can legislature in the Empire state.
If Governor Pennoyer's well meant
efforts to secure an appropriation from
the general government for the dalles
portage shall result, as it seems possi
ble, in the abandonment of the works at
the Cascades, it were better a thousand
times that he should never have written
a letter to the chairman of the river and
harbor committee. If we cannot get
appropriations for both purposes, every
effort should be pat forth to hold up the
hands of Mr. Hermann in his fight for
the Cascade appropriation. A meeting
of The Dalles board of trade is called
for tomorrow evening, ' to consider this
matter, and doubtless an earnest protest
will be sent to Washington against the
thought of abandoning the works at the
Cascades. Mr. Hermann's position
the right one. If one or other of the
two works is to be abandoned, let it the
portage and the state can build - that
Bat on the other hand if the work at
the Cascades is to be carried on, as
has been for nearly a score of years, let
us have the portage. We have no
direct interest in a work that there is no
hope of seeing finished for another gen
eration. It is more than likely, the
dispatches to the contrary, notwith
standing, that this is the same position
that the governor himself lakes.
Prohibition and Free Trad.
Editor Clironicle:
A few of the citizens of our city, in
eluding myself, were enticed last even
ing to attend an alleged temperance
meeting at the court bouse, to hear
Messrs. Wolfenbarger and Huckins pre
sent their views on the prohibition
question, by both song and speech. The
first part of the program was well rend
ered and received, but the second part
by Mr. Wolfenbarger, (Wolf-in -bear
pearl, was the most rank free trade
speech that I have ever heard.
He started out by comparing the Mills
and McKinley bills, with a leaning very
much in favor of the former, stating
that the latter was a piece of the most
iniauitous legislation that was ever
perpetrated on the American people
he claimed that in 1888, when the Mill's
bill was before congress, there was only
an average difference of seven per cent.
between it and the then existing tariff,
bat that the McKinley bill, which passed
in 1890, increased the average tariff from
fortv-seven to sixty per cent.. After
listening to a few more such statements,
I left the room in aisgast.
I do not think that- any "Fair Minded
Man" will believe that these people are
working in the interest of the prohibi
tion party, but are employed by the
democrats for purposes best known to
themselves.
The meeting last nigbt, reminded me
of the street fakir, who employs a troupe
of singers to attract a crowd, after which
he proceeds to swindle the people by
offering them a small piece of soap
supposed to contain a twenty dollar
greenback, all for the small sum of one
dollar.
