be almost certain of getting nipped by
the cold weather later.

The Chinese wedding which took place
here last Saturday, and finally "wound up
by the newly married couple being
popped into jail shortly after midnight,

highbinders to break. The complaint
against them was dismissed this morn'
ing, the complaining witness paying the
costs,
We published a notice Monday to the
effect that Mrs. Foss of Hood River had
died ne day before. Our informant

It was Mrs Frost who died and not Mrs,
Foss.
Mr. Wickham came in from Fairview,
which is located on the ridge between
5-Mile and Mill creek, eleven miles
southwest of town, this morning. He
tells us there were 4o feet of snow there
this winter, and for a while it was pretty
hard work breaking roads, etc., but that
now the snow is about 16 inches but
going off rapidly.
"Frou Frou" was presented to one of
the largest audiences last night that ever
gathered in The Dalles. The Tittell
Sisters may put it down on the tablets of
their memories that they have a host of
warm admirers here, and that whenever
they conclude to again visit us, they will
find the house packed with an audience
already determined to be pleased with
whatever these talented ladies may pre
sent them. And right on top of this we
wish to add that the efforts of the Or
chestra Union to give us some first class
entertainments are thoroughly appre
ciated. Tnursday's Daily

Congressman Champ Clark says he is

The horticulturists, railroad men and
commission merchants ot the -bast are
having a love feast in Portland. We
note the name of S. A. Clarke as one of
the leading fruit pests of the assembly
and that he tells what he knows about

taken him long. The apple exhibit is
said to be veryood.

death-laden lamp, was so badly burned

It is time to quit kicking one another
about our legislators violating their
pledges. The platform of each political
party demanded the abolishing of the
railroad commission, yet most of the
legislators are candidates for the place,
or have some friend whom they desire to
give it to. Just mark our words that
there are a whole lot of pledges, demo
cratic and populistic as well as republi
can, that will be lost sight of the next
two weeks by the representatives of all
of those parties at Salem.
Jos. T. Peters & Co. have cord wood,
which is desirable in all respects, and
respectfully solicit your orders.

products necessitates their delivery at
points of exehange or sale, at the lowest
possible price for freight charges ; and
Whereas, The Columbia river, if un

of a board of engineers appointed to re'

First National of East Portland Is Bold
Up.
A most desperate attempt to rob tbe
First National bank of East Portland, on
the corner of Union avenue and East
Washington street, was made yesterday
afternoon by Rev. J. C. Reed, formerly
a Baptist minister on the East Side.
At 12:30 o'clock Teller E. T. Holgate
was alone in the bank, when a man dis
guised with false whiskers, entered
Holgate recognized him as being Reed,
The teller stepped from a desk where he
had been writing in a book, to tbe
counter, when Reed drew a bottle from
his pocket containing a white substance.
and said :
This is nitro glycerine and there'
enough of it to blow you and me to
hell!"
Holgate being startled at the man
conduct, stepped back of the counter
few steps, upon which the robber pulled
a revolver, which seemed ot very large
caliber to the teller at that moment, ex
claiming:
"Hold up your hands, or I'll blow
your brains out! Place your hands be'
hind your back!"
The young teller obeyed the order
and Reed, passing through the directors'
room, walked behind the counter, where
he secured Holgate's hands with a heavy
whip cord, and he blindfolded and
gagged him, compelling him to crouch
underneath the counter. Then the
robber barred the Union avenue en
trance with an iron bar, and began help
ing himself to the coin.
Holgate says :
"He had a sack with him, and just as
he dropped the first stacjt of $20 pieces
into it Teller D. C. Southwoxth came
along with a shotgun which he shoved
through the glass door and shouted to
Reed to hold up his hands. Reed cried
out to hi in not to shoot, as he was un
armed, and was ready to surrender.
The fellow had in tbe meantime taken
off his false whiskers and disposed of
his pistol, which looked much smaller to
me subsequently than it originally did
when it was shoved under my nose. A
tew minutes after Mr. Southworth came
to my rescue. Reed was arrested and
taken to the West Side police station."
Reed was seen at the central police
station at 1 o'clock. He did not appear
much agitated over his adventure. The
police were having him in charge all the
afternoon, so no story could be obtained
from him.
MB. SOUTHWOBTH'8 BTOBY.
Holgate's rescuer, Teller D. C. South-
worth, of the Citizen's bank, says that
his attention first was attracted to the
robber by his peculiar make-up, as he
was walking down East Washington
street toward the First National. He
saw him stop in front of the bank, hesi
tating a moment or two and enter. He
believed him to be a fakir, and for a few
seconds thought no more of the man.
He continued :
The next time I looked over to the
Fir3t National, I saw Holgate with bis
back to the counter and bis hands
crossed on it. Even .then I supposed the
stranger teaching Holgate a trick, but
ubsequently, when I observed the sup
posed fakir blindfold Holgate and shove
him under tbe counter, I surmised that
there was something wrong. I called
our messenger, Ed Miller, into the bank
from an adjoining room, put on my bat
and, taking a shotgun out of tbe vault, I
went across the street. I first looked in
to the south window of the bank and
saw the robber piling gold into a sack.
At soon as be observed me, he fell be

hind the counter on bis bands. I cried
to him to hold up his hands and stand
quiet or I would fire at him. The fellow
supplicated me not to shoot, claiming to
be unarmed. There was a stranger
standing in front of tbe bank, who must
have seen all that was passing within.
I asked him to hurry for an officer, but
the fellow remained there a few moments
longer with an idiotic leer, but disap
peared as the crowd gathered.
"I jumped to the front door, and, be
ing UDable to gain an entrance, I shoved
my gun through the glass, keeping my
man covered with it. In the crowd that
had assembled at this time was M. D.
ueorge, wnom i requested to get an
officer, and in a short time thereafter
we had Mr. Reed where he could do no
more harm."
A Barberous Story.
Hoot Soot, a Umatilla Indian, hrs
sued the court of Indian offenses, a duly
organized court under the United States
laws, and Ed Brisbow, an Indian police
man, in the justice court at Pendleton,
and recovered judgment against them
for $200. It seems that Hoot Soot filled
up on tangleleg, and in trying to hoot to
soot himself managed to let his hooter,
which is from Hootersville, annoy the
public to such an extent that he was
arrested, his hlr-soot (the gender is
slightly mixed) covering being curtailed
on his bead, so that his Indian friends
dropped the latter portion of his name
and simply Hooted him. In other
words, the court bad his hair cut, and
his friends gave him what is called in
the aboriginal American tongue, the
"horse laugh."
Hoot Soot, having, by being allotted
lands in severalty, and also by having
Deen solemnly treated with the same as
a foreign potentate, became by the pe
culiar action of law a citizen of the re'
public, with all the rights and privi
leges of a corporation that Is, to have
his affairs looked after and protected by
tbe government, as well as tbe rights of
a citizen ; that is to take in a jag and
get chucked in the cooler, yanked before
the base minions of the white man's
law next morning, and hear the sapient
remark, "$10 or five days" felt that
bis person was sacred, and that the
hairs of his head could no more be cut
off by a primitive and savage court than
the heirs of his body could from their
rights in the reversion, remainder, rents,
issues and profits of his segregated land
by a deed in fee simple, under his sign
manual the sign of the cross duly at
tested, sealed and acknowledged. So
feeling, he probably for the first time in
his life, sought the law instead of defy
ing it', and was no doubt as much aston-
shed as gratified to find that it was
more profitable to raise a crop of hair on
his own head than from that of his
enemy.
The court of Indian offenses will prob
ably cease to court, for at $200 a hair
cut, the execution of the courts favorite
sentence is too much like shav
ing a pig for wool shear nonsense.
The case will be appealed, and Hoot
Soot will have a yet more pro
found veneration for his white brothers'
laws, and also another fine crop of hair,
before the case is finally decided and
the costs paid. It will take another
crop of hair, at least, to pay up the ex
penses for harvesting the last one.
