THE WOUNDED MAN LIVES AN HOUR
Conrlct Kills. While at Work, Struck
Six Time With a Kuifs by
Convict Harrison.
W-mxa Waix, Wash.. July 12. An
other brutal murder was committed in
the penitentiary this afternoon, the vic
tim being William Ellis, and the murder
er William Harrison, both convicts.
The men were working in the jute mill,
running looms about 40 feet apart.
About 3 o'clock Guard August Henriod,
who. was occupying a cage in the center
of the mill, noticed a commotion among
the convicts near the loom where Ellis
was working. Suddenly Harrison grasp
ed Ellis round the neck with his left
band, and to the guard it appeared as
though Harrison was striking Ellis with
hisright hand. The guard leveled a gun
at Harrison, who immediately loosened
his grasp on Ellis, and, dropping down
behind the loom, crawled about 60 feet
away and hid behind a bale of sacks.
Ellis then walked over to the overseer's
desk and fell on the floor. It was then
noticed that he was wounded, and that
blood was flowing from his side in a
stream. The wounded man was hurried
ly taken to the penitentiary hospital and
Pr. J. E. Bingham, the penitentiary
physician,-was summoned, when it was
found that Ellis bad received six knife
wounds, two in the right arm, two in
the stomach and two in the breast. One
of those in the breast pierced the right
lung, and one passed entirely through
the liver. Ellis only lived an hour,
death resulting from internal bleeding.
He was only concious a 6hort time, and
it was impossible to get him to tell the
story of the affray, beyond saying that
'Harrison killed him with a knife. They
were on bad terms, having had a quarrel
several days ago.
Harrison was taken to the prison and
placed in 'close confinement. He was
searched by the officials of the institu
ton, but they failed to find the weapon
The penitentiary officials are now invej
tigatiug the case.
A Monument for Fremont.
New York, July 12. The Associated
Pioneers of the territorial days of Call
nia have issued a call to the late General
John C. Fremont s friends for funds to

It has been deemed best to confine the
cost of the monument to $10,000.

The cyclone wrecked 30 bouses at
Woodhaven and a very lame school

were carried through the air. Chimneys
sailed through space as though they
were no heavier than feathers. .At
Woodhaven, a woman was sick in bed.
The house was picked up and carried
more than a. block. Finally, the woman
was landed on one side of the street and
the house on the other. The woman

Trolley cars in Harlem were blocked

nearly all their growing plants, and their
conservatories were badlv wrecked.

It is inconceivable how a vessel could
lie under such heavy strain in a drv
dock without receiving great injury, and
the fact that the heavy stanchions sup

evidence that she must have been terri

- Dalles People at Gladstone Park.
A large nnmberof residents of this city
are attending theChautanquan exercises
at Gladstone Park and one of them has
sent to The Cuboniclb some words con
cerning Prof. Thos. Condon. Mr.
Condon is well known to many of onr
citizens. In the early '70s ho was pastor
of the Congregational church "at this
place and has many friends who remem
ber him. Since leaving The Dalles he
haa attained national fame as a geologist
Following id the letter: '
To the Editob: Mr. Condon's kind
face, beaming with good feeling to all
bis friends, and all who come within
hearing of bis kind voice aro his friends
had an especial tenderness in the greet
ing of the delegation from The Dalles
It was most heartily reciprocated, for
the inheritance received by the present
residents of The Dalles from their pred
ecessors is to claim the gonial ""professor
as "our Mr. Condon."
The auditorium is an attractive build
ing like an immense umbrella, covered
with shingles to within a few feet of the
ground, comfortably seated, a Chicker
ing piano on the rostrum, the front
walls decorated with flags, the rear walls
with something not provided or paid for
in the contract a most wonderful echo.
It waat times impossible to believe
. someone with his mouth full of
mush was not parodying every eeLtence
of the speaker. Prof. Condon's manner
is conversational. Often an "and ah "
was most amusingly reproduced in the
rear, followed by the rapid finishing of
the sentence as the words he wanted
came into ois memory, ihisia out a
slight trouble, as the audience soon for
got the voice in the. rear and gave pro
found attention to the little man on the
rostrum.
Prof. Condon described three pictures
in ancient Oregon history. The hrst,
the "ocean period, "-ag of the time when
all of Oregon was ocean, except two
isanda,"one which he namedJSiskiyou,
consisting of the peaks of the mountains
of that name and ' the other, 300 miles
eastward, which be named Shoshone
and was formed of the Blue mountain
section." Specimens of the ocean beaches
of both these islands were exhibited and
explained by Mr. Condon. The second
period waa called the ''lake period" and
formed by the uplifting of the great dike.
which we know aa the Cascade mount
ains, the lo89il remains of this period
were also exhibited in beautiful speci
mens of leaf impression in the lake mud,
acorn cups, maple, .elm, willow and
palm, preserved by that incomparable
collector, nature, in an imperishable
herbarium. The last, or "river period,"
is of an Oregon, with whose topography
we are familiar. Mr. Condon's address
was received With profound interest.
The last quarter of his hour was occupied
answering' questions, such as, "Are
there found fossil remains' of animal life
on what were the islands of Siskivou and
Shoshone7" Answer "No, not until
the further uplifting connected them
with the mainland." The horse of
ancient times aroused many questions.
Someone asked, "Were there any birds
there? This question brought the state
ment that Mr. Condon was the owner of
eighty specimens of bird bones which
were, loaned to an Eastern society for
scientific investigation, and were never
returned. Mr. Condon .had used all
peaceable means, to secure their return,
bat so far ha9 been unsuccessful. Mi.
Condon has daily instruction to a class
at 9 a. m.
The immense advantage of this Chau
tauqua assembly will be far more keenly
felt in 1806. Every one says "Next year
I will bring a tent and stav the whole
time."

The audience receive him with great
enthusiasm. - R. F.
manner the piece entitled "Grandma's
Angel." "The Origin, and. Influence of
the Temperance Reformation" was the
subject of a select reading by. Miss Lena
Snell, and was worth the consideration
of all. The early part of the century
was when this reform took its rise. The
Washingtonian Society, started in 1840,
grew rapidly throughout the whole
country. John B. Gongh waseuicgized,
and bis wonderful work spoken of. A
sketch of Father Matthew's work waa
given, and bis efforts to secure 600,000
signers to the cause ' of. temperance.
Miss'Sneh'a reading was highly appreci
ated. The piano solo by Mrs. Varney
closed this part of the program.;
Although not a large number was
present, the entertainment wfe declared
to be one of the most pleasant of the
kind given in The Dallos. After the lit
erary exercises were finished, the guests
were requested to repair to the ice cream,
parlors and given ice cream and cake.
The last part of the program was among
the best. . ' . '
