Hawthorne on Trial Fur Bis Life.
The trial of John Hawthorne of this
. city for the murder of the Indian Kar
polis, is progressing rapidly in the
. United States court at Portland. The
.prosecution brongbt in evidence to show
. tne roDoerv ni juavs v urowes store
the escape and killing at the Warm
Springs. Several Indian witnesses told
how they attempted to surround Haw
thorne and capture him without any
uioouaneu ; uui mac nawiuorne anot oe-
fore it could be done. .The government
: is nearly through with its case and the
evidence shows the above state of facts.
The defense will attempt to' prove that
Hawthorne shot thinking that the In
dians were going to kill , him and not
knowing that they,, were Indian police.
Judge Caples, the attorney for the de
fense, performed the masterly feat of get
ting a poor ignorant Indian, witness to
say once that he was behind a tree and
then to contradict himself to say that it
was behind a clump of bushes. As the
testimony bad to be sifted through an in
terpreter the variance is too slight to be
called a contradiction. Walter Rowe,
Grand Parade, Hose
who has already testified for the prosecu
tion will also be a witness for the defense
and Hawthorn's' attorneys , expect to
prove by him that Karpolis shot first.
Mrs. Emily Hawthorne, mother of the
prisoner, and his sister, Anna, are by bis
side in the court room. Hawthorne
shows no neryousneas or worriment in
the least, except in talking, when there
is an apparent effort of self control.
An Bxciting- Tims at the Cenrt Bout.
This morning the officials at the court
house had their equanimity considera
bly disturbed. . An insane., man, Dave
Williams' by name, had been arrested
last night by Policeman Frank Con
nelly, and placed in tbe connty jail for
examination. This morning, as he was
being questioned ' by Dr. Hollister, the
idea of jumping through the window
suddenly, occurred to him, and out he
went. Frank Hill and Judge Blakeley
were standing by the railing in the
sheriff's office, and as they saw Wil
liams' coat tails disappear out tbe win
dow, started for him. Mr., Hill caught
np with him just outside the fence, and
immediately there was a tussle. Jailer
John Fitzgerald nut. appeared upon
the scene, and Mr. Hrll returned to get
a pair of handcuffs. ' Seeing that Wil
hams and Mr. Fitzgerald were bavins a
merry time of it, Judge Blakeley rushed
in to help the officer, and in re
turn for his kindness received, a kickp
which took off considerably skin froni
below the knee. Williams was finally
subdued and taken back to tbe sheriff's
office and the examination speedily con
cluded. The Insane man was taken to
Salem this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Hill and Frank Powers. He was se
curely handcuffed and the officers will
watch him closely. The trouble with
Powers is probably hereditary. He
says he is very wealthy and that ) is
grandfather left him ten thousand
million pounds." His grandparents lived
to be 120 and 130 years old. He says he
has ten sisters and brothers living in
The Dalles, but we have never met any
of them. b
Owing to some disagreeable features
connected with the institution, Miss
Ruth Cooper, of this city, who, for the
past year, has been a teacher at the
Klamath Indian Reservation, tendered
her resignation to .the authorities and
asked to be relieved. Yesterday she re
ceived a letter from( tbe agent in charge,
saying a telegram had been received
from tbe department at Washington to
the effect that the resignation would not
be accepted, but if Miss Cooper would
report for duty July 1st she would be
transferred to some other school: more
congenial for her work. She telegraphed
back asking to be allowed to remain in
Tbe Dalles till August 1st and then she
would accept the offer. , The action of
tbe department is exceedingly, compli
mentary to Miss Cooper and shows that
her work has been so satisfactory that
her services are valuable to the depart
ment. The representatives of The
Dalles wherever they go always bring
credit to their home town.;
A very impo.tant deed was acknowl
edged yesterday , before Justice L. S.

mining claim ten - miles southeast of
Prairie Citi, in Grant county. Mr. L.
L. Hill of The Dalles was the seller and
the mine was bought by Mr. James Voss
of Idaho. The consideration mentioned
in the deed was f 40,100. Mr. Hill is a
resident of The Dalles and has lived in
this city for over ten years and baa de
voted much time to hunting mines and
prospecting. If. as the conveyance seems
to indicate, Mr. Hill received $40,000 for
his mine, be is certainly entitled to the
congratulations of hia friends .and
neighbors. He can consider his time
well spent. We do not know the gentle-,
man that is the purchaser, but as tbe
mines in that section are prolific in
minerals he doubtless thinks he has a
good thing. This claim is said to be
rich in gold. .
Abont that Disappearance.
Frank Spicer.of Antelope, re turned last
night from Portland where he has been
looking for Harry Stark, whose disap
pearance was noted in this paper several
days ago. It was stated that Stark had
been found in Portland but this is now
said to be nntrue and the chief of police
with whom Mr. Spicer talked is watch
ing for the missing man. Stark bad a
wagon and six horses when he came into
town and the outfit has been here ever
since till yesterday, when it was taken to
Antelope. There is something mys
terious about the affair as Stark is said
to have owed very little and what prop
erty he had was more than enough to
pay bis debts. Our county officers are
not through with the matter and . is
possible some interesting developements
may be noted. ,

The attention of Judge Bradshaw has
been occupied all day bearing the suit of
Farrell vs. Denton. The matter Is re
garding the mortgage foreclosure of the
old Denton place up Mill creek. Pierce
Mays, as attorney for Mr. Denton, pnt in
a motion to dismiss tbe suit and it is
this motion which is being argued. The
Dallea ' Lumbering . Co Dalles City

& Wilson appear for tbe lumbering
company, Pierce Mays for Denton and

T. A. Hudson returned today from a
trip through Sherman county. His
travels covered nearly all portions of the
county and be closely watched the pros
pects for grain in tbe different localities.
While it is true that in some places the
yield will be small, yet over a greater
part the prospect for a large crop is
good. Ia the places where there will be
a shortage the trouble comes as much
from poor cultivation "as anything else.
Even if we have no more rain most of
the farmers in that section expect a good
average harvest and that with tbe price
that is expected, means lots of money in
the fall. '
. An important business transfer took
place today. H. H. Campbell, who for
several, years has conducted a large
grocery store on Washington street, sold
his entire interest to William Johnson of
Heppner. They will begin taking stock
this, evening and unless there is some
hitch in the proceedings Mr. Johnson
will , take possession Monday. , Mr,
Johnson is not a stranger to the people
of this city, as he married a Dalles young
lady, Miss Lillie Ballard.
The grounds around the depot are be
ing improved and when the alterations
are completed will add greatly to the
beauty of the station grbunde. An iron
fence has been built at the west end of
the huilding and tbe inclosed ground
sown in clover. The patch of green be
tween the freight house and passenger
depot already has the look of a park and
makes a pleasant scene to greet the
traveler as he alights, from the cars. It
always adds greatly to the attractiveness
of a city to have property along a rail
road kept in good order.
Thk Chroniclb job department has
just turned eut a very fine piece of work
for St. Mary's Academy. . The best es

have, been neatly, bound, and will be
sent , for.; exhibition to. Montreal. The
essays themselves reflect great credit
upon the scholars and their instructors;
both the composition and the penman
ship show great carefulness and prepar
ation on the part of . the writer. A cut
of tbe academy building adorns the out
side of each book. . . "
Mr. Hensen, who has a fishing net

handsome fellew as this one been caught.

Today Tbe Dalles had a very lively ap
pearance. la the morning a great num
ber of farmers visited town and Second
street , was lined with teams. j .The
wholesale houses .were .loading wagons
with goods for the interior, and all their
clerks were rushed with orders. The
Dallea is selling large amounts of merch

Twenty car loads of wool go east today
and six cars leave for Portland. Wool
is being received at The Dalles ware
bouse nearly every day from Arlington,
About one fourth of tbe amoot that is
shipped westward from Arlington is an-,
loaded at this point and placed . on y?e
market. . '
One hundred and two bales of wool
were turned out at Moody's warehouse
yesterday and op to half past ten this
moining forty-two had been baled. It'
is a very interesting sight to see the
machines at work and a trip through
the warehouses would well repay the.
trouble, ,
Efforts ar, being mde Dy the execu
tive committee for tbe celebration to
have the militia companies from neigh
boring towns join us in observing tbe
day. The companies from Klickitat
county and those from Sherman county
will be asked and if satisfactory arrange
ments can be made the people of this
city will see monster military parade.
A diminutive skunk made fun for
about fifty Chinamen' and white men
last night on Front street.' Frantic
efforts were made to kill the animal,
but were of no avail till a Chinaman
threw a big rock wildly in the air and it
came down upon the skunk. When
this bit of excitement ' was over, the
crowd adjonrned to listen to the Salva
tion Army.
John O'Leary returned today from Mt.
Adams, where be took a large amount of
sheep for pasturage. The range is In
fine" condition and the sheep will have
plenty of feed daring the winter. Just
before leaving Glenwood Mr. Leary
learned that Andy Bunnell and hit two
herders had been poisoned by eating
canned tomatoes. " A doctor from Gol
dendale had been summoned, as the men
were thought to be seriously ill. At
last accounts Mr. Bunnell was unable to
speak.
Three wagons loaded with wool be
longing to Mr. McGee of Mitchell, ar
rived at the Wasco warehouse today.
There were twenty-five sacks on each
wagon. TJ. S. Cole of Hay Creek,
brought In two wagons loaded with fifty-
sacks of wool today. Tbe amount of
wool coming in continues unprecedented
and the baler is running at full speed to
make ' room for. the incoming wool.
Yesterday tbe Wasco warehouse baling
machine baled 115 sacks. This is only
an average, day. The baling force will
have to break the Sabbath tomorrow
and work all day. ..;
Just to show how immense Is the
amount of business quietly transacted in
The Dalles, one cheque for $16,000 was
drawn pon one of our banks in' pay
ment for a clipof wool. This is only one
of many similar transfers and it is done
very quietly.' It doesn't make any more
noise or cause greater excitemect-'to
draw s cheque for $16,000 than one for
$16. Several lots of wool were sold yes
terday for better than 10 cents a pound,
bat -tbe , exact price would not be .
divulged. . i .' , . ,
