The case of the State vs. Frank Dav
enport, charged with throwing sawdust
in the streamy was tried before a jury at
Hood River." The trial resulted in a
verdict of acquittal, the jury being out
but a few minutes.-' H. S. Wilson, Esq.,
of this city represented the defendant,
while the interests of the state were
looked after by C. P. Heald of Hood
River. The case was brought through
the efforts of the Rod and Gun Club, a
meritorious organization, The jury be
lieved that the defendant had made all
possible endeavor to keep the sawdust
from getting into the streams. '
, The scow Wasco, loaded with, piling
for the D. P. & A N. Co.'s new ware
house, arrived here yesterday afternoon,
having rome from Lyle since morning.
The Wasco hna been at Cascades eeveral
days already loaded , and only , waiting
for a wind to spread its sails..; Thursday
at noon the scow left the portage encline
and reached Lyle the same evening at
7 : 30,; where it remained over night,
arriving in" The Dalles the next day.
The logs are of good . length and fine
quality. The pile driver is being moved
to the place wheTeHhe firBt" piles are to
be driven and in a short -time -the deep
thud of the hammer, as it falls, will, let
the people know. that one of the' first
fruits of the expected opening: of the
Cascade Locks is being garnered.'

months has been very sick in the city,
has recovered sufficiently to allow his
being taken home to Lyle landing. - Mr.
Reynolds was accompanied by E. H.i

the ; greater part' of the time.' LThe
Knights of Pythias lodge has attended
to all the sick man's wants.
The ; Regulator made a landing at
Rockland this morning and loaded 230
sacks tor shipment to Portland. The
wheat was of .this yearfc yield and
shipped by Geo. W. Smith, the pioneer
farmer of Klickitat county. Wheat
shipments from now on will go regularly
and in a few dava the market can be ex
pected to open. The boat line expects
to carry a large portion of this year's
harvest. ' : " :' ;. ;
. The race horses from Eastern Oregon
are being got ready: for the state fair
meeting at ' Salem next month. This
morning J Andy "Allen, the veteran
trainer, started on the Regulator with
Grover, belonging to Mr Bennett, and
Baity, owned by J. P. Mclnernv. These
horses have made good records wherever
they have appeared and their owners
look forward to see them lead their class
in Salem. :l-n-l
Ed. Howell, the popular baggage man
at the depot, and Mr. Smith, the night
operator, went hunting down towards
Mosier this morning. . They borrowed- a
railroad velocipede; and slipped out of
town in the early" hours before the peo
ple were astir. If some tramps don't
take their vehicle away from them and
leave , the. hunters footsore and weary
between stations, they will be back this
evening loaded.,, with game--for their
friends. -'' '' ' - -i '
' . Vesterday was 'the second of the dry
Sundays in The. Dalles.- A good many
bibulously inclined tookthe opportunity
of going to Cascade Locks, ' where the
cheering fluid can be obtained in large
or small quantities without resorting to
back doors and necessitating the laying
in of a supply1 the previous day. . The
law, seemed to be generally in force in
The Dalles, though there were Some who
claimed that the knowing ones could ob
tain,, without much trouble, all the
liquor wanted.
The members of the city council met
in an informal caucus Saturday evening
to consider matters of special importance
to the" welfare of the city. It was not a
regular meeting and no official action
was taken on any subject. The matter
of Mrs. Obarr's suit was discussed and it
was thought wise to have a committee
appointed to confer with Mrs. Obarr and
sea it Ja. settlement .can't be arranged.
If the matter cannot be adjusted the
city will have to stand a suit. Sunday
closing was also discussed but no direct
action was taken regarding the ,. pro

Mrs. Augusta" Weggenman,4 an old
resident of The Dalles, died suddenly
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Weggenman
had not been feeling well for several
days and her absent daughter was sent
for, arriving several tlays ago. Satur
day the sick , lady felt no better, but
nothing serious was . expected. Her
daughter spoke to her and then turned
her atter tion to other things. When j
she returned, her mother was dying,
Mrs. Weggenman was.47 -years old and
lived ' In r.The: Dallei Sot niany iyearsl
Her husband was bunting in High
Prairie at the time of her death and was
summoned by special messenger. The
funeral services took place this after
noon 'from the.Congregationat church; '';
The excursion toi the. Locks yesterday
from Eastern Oregon was not so widely
attended as the promoters expected it
would j'be. ' There" we're ; not oyer" 200
people, including those from The Dalles,
who came from east of the mountains.
The attendance from Portland was much
larger," the crowd 'from that "place being
-very great-rThe"iday was- epent -by the
excursionists in looking over the govern
ment works and viewing the beauties of
the Cascades. . The promised address of
Major McNeil did not occur, nor were
there any exercises of .' such a character.
A special train left The Dalles at 7: 30 a.
m.', carrying about farty people. 1 "It re
turned at 8:30 in the evening. The
Eastern Oregon excursionists' cars were
attached to the through train.

CttRONicts reporter spent an interesting
hour-, .in Dr. Doane's office looking
through , a magnificient . miscroscope,
which the doctor has just received from
St. Louis. ' Some specimens-from natur
al history were viewed and the' curious
structure of a fly's eyes was plainly visi
ble through the lense. One of the spec
tators was a martyr to science to the ex
tent of sacrificing a drop of blood
for inspection. ' The . action . ot the
different corpuscles was ' very inter
eetingand could be seen very plainly,
when magnified by the microscope.
The instrument is a very fine , one and
those who have never looked through a
microscope - of ; . high refractive power
would find it a very pleasant.diversion.
. From a Gentleman who was in The
Dalles from Grants it is learned that ne.
gotiations are being made for' the re
opeiiing. of the distillery at that place,
which two months ago was compelled to
close. Should the report prove true,
the people' of . Grants will have great
reason to rejoice. The distillery is a
great consumer of wheat, and provides
also a market for live stock. The plant
was badly wrecked in the great flood of
last summer, and the managers had not
been able, to recoup from their losses in
time to meet pressing . obligations. If
th financial matters shall be satisfacto
rily arranged, and the concern re-open,
in all probability they will haye a pros
perous season.- - Jo connection with the
distillery a large flouring plant is oper

to Cascade Locks last night to attend an
interesting session of . that body. '
The Jackson company will hold a
meeting this evening in the recorder's
office. , All members are requested to be
present. . "'"" '
A. R. Mott gives notice that he will
preach at the Fairfield school house on
Sunday, Aug. 25th at 4 o'clock. All are
cordially invited to attend.
Workmen are busy today fixing the
Regulator dock. It will not take long
for the damage caused by this year's
freshet to be repaired.
If .the- weather . were not such a
hackneyed subject, one could detail at
great length on the beauty and comfort
of tho days we are having. .

An' adjourned; meeting wilF be. held
this evening at 8:30 for those who hold
claims against the railroad company for
services rendered during the high water
of a year ago..'; Some definite action is
thought necessary and everyone is ur
gently requested to be present at the
council chambers. . .
. This ' morning Eastern Oregon dust
was treated to a Slight' sprinkle of rain,
which helped to purity the atmosphere.
A summer rain is a thing of poetry and
no visitor comes more welcomely, unless
the visitation exceeds all hospitality, as
did the early rains of two years ago,
which brought ' much - sorrow ' to . the
farmers whose sacks of grain, uncovered,
dotted their hillside farms.
The coroner is holding an inquest
over the dead Chinaman before a jury
composed of Thos. Haslam, F. N. Hill,
M. Rice, C. H. Hall, . John , Hockman
and Sam Klein. It is said, just as The
Chbokicle went to press, that one of the
Chinamen implicated has made a state-,
ment charging the man. Harry, with the
murder. ;:. A.; celestial- hanging seems
among the imminent possibilities. ;
Mr. Sands, the gentleman' engaged to
drive the piling for the! boat company's
new warehouse, came up from Portland
this morning and vis already hard at
work getting things ready for an im
mediate start in constructing the build
ing. Nearly everything is in readiness
and in a short- time the- river front will
be a scene of much activity. -Front
street, which in recent years has lost
some of its busy appearance on account
of business moving to Second street,
will renew its youth again and see busy
days when the' warehouse is completed.

A COLD BLOODED MURDER.
A ChiDatuan stabbed "by RIs' Coantry.
i nieu tills Morninc- The ! Qntlty '
Parties Probably Arreatetl. ..
A cold-bloodfcd miirder was committed
on Frout street this morning a little
atter 12 o'clock. Lock Woo, a chinaman
who does janitor work in. different sa
loons was stabbed near the heart and
received a wound from' which he died at
5 o'clock this morning. Parties sitting
on Baldwin's corner saw four Chinamen
crossing the street between : Frazier's
barber shop and the old Snyder restaur
ant. When near the doorwav of .the
latter place, two of the . men suddenly
seized a third, while the, remaining one
plunged a knife into the struggling vic
tim's side. Instantly the perpetrators
fled, leaving the wounded man-with, the
knife blade sticking in his body. The
chinaman staggered into the house and
drew from his flesh the murderous steel
By this time the proprietor of the house
was awakened . and with the coming of
several people, Doctors . Doane and
Sutherland were . summoned. When
the physicians arrived the chinaman
was still perfectly conscious and as the
doctor took his pulse said, "Maybe I die
now." Instantly perceiving the mortal
nature of the wound, the doctors were
anxious to have, the proper parties
identified. If . possible.: . City . Marshal
Blakeney, with several men assisting,
took a hurried description of the assail
ants and proceeded first . to Skibbe's
hotel, where is a shed in the rear, they
found a chinaman hid in the bay. He
was wide awake and. had every appear
ance of having been recently running.
The man, whose English name is Harry,
was brought in the presence of Lock
Woo, who instantly, identified, him as
the man who did the stabbing. Further
search discovered a chinaman called Jim
Six, described as one of tho3e who held
Lock Woo while Harry used the knife.
The wound caused was a fearful one. The
physicians administered morphine and
made the man as comfortable as possi
ble till death came, a little after 5
o'clock. The blade entered just below
the heart and penetrated ., to a depth of
over three inches, in making arrests
the officers found it. necessary to take
several men, who, while it is : not ; be
lieved had anything to do with the ac
tive murder, may yet be able to throw
some light on the occurrence. This
morning there were six men, in the city
jail and one confined in the county jail
: The dead man, who also went by the
name of Ket, was about 20 years old and
bore a peaceable disposition. . He. was
industrious, and as far as known, made
no contention among the Chinese, ele
ment. There is no assignable motive
for the deed. The two men, who are
suspected of doing the killing, are bard
looking characters and. are disposed to
be sullen and have little to say regarding
their actions ' last night. Harry has
been employed in Skibbe's hotel, while
Jim ' Six has done odd jobs of janitor
wortc around town. The inquest will be
held sometime during the. day, at which
further evidence may be produced. The
affair does not seem to create., much ex
citemeut in China quarters and there is
a mysterious air about it which leads to
the impression that high-binder work is
at the bottom of it. Some of the Chinese
secret societies probably have a hand in
the killing. ' ;

Editor Chbonicle As I have never
seen any items from this neighborhood,
I thought I would send you one, which
is of great importance to us in this com
munity, and hope it will interest others.
D.uring the past week Rev. J. V. Jen
kins and family and Father G. H. Bar
nett and wife have been- visiting the
family of G. F. Arnold, and during the
time Rev. Jenkins preached five excel
lent discourses, preaching in the house
in the evening and in the grove near by
in the afternoon. Great interest was
manifested, and a move is already on
foot for the erection of a church build
ing. Plans have been made, and about
one-fourth the amount subscribed. The
bonce will be 24x34 feet, and cost about
$200, outside of the labor, which will be
done mostly by donation. . Ground bar
been donated by G. F. Arnold on which
to erect the building, and a . suitable
place selected, ,. The house will be open

HELLO DUFUR!
The Ialle and It JSelghborlni Town
". ' Brought Together. ' I
- Last night were heard in Dufur, words
spoken in The -Dalles. The telephone
line, about which so much has been said
in Tub Chronicle and on the street, is
completed to Dufur and' conversations
have been held between parties in both
towns. Yesterday morning1 Manager J.
W. Cordon told a Chronicle reporter
that by evening it ws's expected the. line
would reach Dufur, and. his' prediction
came true. At 6 o'clock yesterday the
the last pole in the long stretch between
tbe Dalles and Dufur was placed in posi
tion and in a short time the wire was
stretched upon tbe : cross streets. It
only remained to make the connections
and when this was done the undertaking
was finished.
Mr. Condon " was sitting in the cen
tral office waiting to hear from the other
end of the line; At ? : 30 the bell gave
its well-known ' ring and Mr.. Condon
hastening to the transnitter, said :
''Hello Dufur" and the- first word had
crossed the intervening hills and valleys.
Mr. Senfert was at tbe other end of tbe
line and an animated -conversation was
held between the two owners of the line.
A CunoMCLE representative was sent for
and arriving at tbe central office had the
pleasure of ' talking this is always a
pleasure to newspaper men---to: Dufur.
After congratulating Mr. Seufert upon
the completion of the .line, the Chbox-
iclb reporter was introduced to Mr. C
P. Balcb, who said that, the people of
Dufur 1 were much elated at being
brought in swift - connection : with tbe
outside world. ; There was a large crowd
of people at the Dufur end of the line,
many of whom sent their yoices along
the wire.. Several Dalles people were
invited to tbe central, office to see the
working of the new venture. . .r
Mr. Condon and Mr. Seufert are to be
congratulated upon their enterprise in
extending the influence of The Dalles.
They have expended time and money
freely and we trust the investment will
be a paying one. -Already this morning
number of business messages have
been sent over, the phone to Dufur,
showing that there is a demand for
quick communication between - the two
points. It is the intention of the man
agement to still further extend the line.
The office at Dufur is in tbe store of Mr.
C. P. Balcb.
Loaded for B'ar;
On August. 11th a brave party of
campers left The .Dalles for lo-Mile
creek to spend ten days in hunting and
fishing. . Mr. R. II . Guthrie had just
returned from that locality and reported
that tie had seen numerous bear tracks,
and so they went prepared for big eanie.
Before starting they made liberal prom
ises to their friends. Wnen nsh was
mentioned, they talked hundred, when
venison was the subject of conversation,
it was a deer apiece ; if bear was hinted,
they ridiculed the idea that they . would
not get at least one. . Now they were not
especially experienced hunters (none of
them had taken a trip to the interior of
Africa to hunt elephants lions and
tigers) and their friends were caused
considerable anxiety until- they were
beard frotp. While this information has
come from - outside sources, still we are
sure that under the circumstances it is
more accurate and can be relied upon
with a great deal more certainty than if
it came from the gallant campers themselves.-'
. ..... , ; .
Upon receipt of this information, a
special artist of ability was engaged. : lie
has illustrated the striking events of
this trip in a eeries of six truthful pic
tures. These pictures, are now displayed
in the windows of Pease & Mays, and
will be enjoyed by all who see them.
