have bad a dispute over the right to fish
on the Washington side, near the foot of

the matter, other means were taken np,
A few days ago a warm dispute took
place between Mr. Senfert and the
people, who, it was claimed, were cans
ing interference with his fishing. The
circumstances of the quarrel are very
contradictory " and both sides give a
different coloiing to the dispute. At
any rate warrants were issued yesterday,
sworn to by Mr. Seufert and placed in
the bands of J. C. Crawford, acting con
stable. The following men were, then
arrested, charged with assault and bat
tery on Mr. Seutert : J. A. Bunnell, J,

not be finished today.
Owing to the fact of it being incon
venient for all persons concerned, an
effort will be made to have the trial
held here.
Wheat In Coming- In.
Yesterday was a busy day in the local
wheat market. . The wagons from the
interior came in long lines from all direc
iions. The street in front of the Wasco
warehouse, Moody's and the mill was
crowded with teams unloading their
wheat. At one time eight wagons were
tanding in front of the Diamond Mills,
waiting their turn to unload. Most of
the wheat that was received yesterday
came from the southern portion of Sher
man county, a distance of forty-five
miles. Last rear and the season pre
vious this wheat all went to Biggs and
Bufus, but attracted by the greater price
which The Dalles market pays the wheat
was hauled here. This is another
feather in the cap of the boat company,
figuratively speaking. The Dalles will
be the great grain market this year as
it was the chief emporium forjthe sale of
wool early in the summer. -
The First Fall Kain.
A steady downpour of rain has fallen
all day. It commenced raining shortly
after 8 o'clock, and has continued with
out a break. The downpour will be i
welcome visitation to stockmen, who
have been complaining of the' grass on
uie nms drying up. To them the rain
will be a god-send, and start the grass
so that the cattle will fatten np during
the fall, and enter the winter in a good
condition. There is little danger of the
wheat being injured, as a great deal of
it is under sheds, and what remains in
the field is well covered with straw.
Several farmers expressed themselves as
being not at ail nneasy, unless the rain
should keep up for two or three weeks,
which it probably won't do. The Dalles
seems to be the center of the shower,
for near the Cascades it was not raining
this morning when it was pouring here,

Yesterday The Chbonicle stated that
fifteen cars of horses were shipped to
Troutdale. This was an error. Cattle
was meant instead of horses and just
. how the substitution was made nobodv
knows. The Troutdale Packing Co,
has nothing to do with horses, as is well
known, but handles more cattle than
anybody. They are making a great rep
utation not only in the Northwest but
in the East for the high character of
their Droduct. and their cattle hnver

Eastern Oregon.
A lively time was witnessed ' at the
Begulator dock this morning. A few
minutes before the boat started a drove
o( hogs was driven to the dock for ship
ment. Gates were put up, the gang
ways cleared and every possible courtesy
shown and inducement given, but the
hogs wouldn't go aboard. Entreaties,
threats, blows and all sorts of blandish
ment had little effect and the job of
loading them was a weary one. Finally
after a half hour of . hard work, during
which several of the animals broke
away and had to be rounded up and
brought back, the hogs were got aboard.

near Hood Biver. ,
ADoutmteen boxes of salmon were

The county court has made an order
that no warrants will be delivered till
five days after the court adjourns. This
is done in order to give the clerk time to
make out the warrants and check up the
lists. ' , . -; '
Two large emigrant; wagons, canvas
topped, occupied the front deck of the
boat this morning. The occupants were
homeseekers, who had been attracted to
the Willamette valley : by the superior
advertising done by that section of the
state. Eastern Oregon had plenty, of
good homes for all those who will stop
and investigate the boundless unoccu
pied territory in this land district. To
the homeseeker no place offers better
attractions than the bunchgrass land of
Eastern Oregon.
Charged With Assault on F. A. Seufert.
Grand Dalles is putting on city airs
today. The attention of the whole pop
ulation is engrossed with a criminal law
suit, which is an important one as in-
The increase of students in the public
schools is very marked and every day
sees further additions to the enrollment,
Thirty-one new names were added to
the rolls on last Monday, making the
enrollment 531. This is considered a
very large number for the first two
weeks. Many old students, who it is
known will attend, have not yet come in
and with those who have to wait till
harvest before beginning studies, will
mage inia year tne Danner one lor a
large attendance. Considering the great
addition in room which 1 the directors
have provided in the last two years and
the fact that the limit is again nearly
reached, it is a cause of wonderment
where all the students come from.
Mr. Crqahart Has An Accident.
Constable TJrquhart met with an in
jury last night, which, while it was not
very seriouB, will give him a good deal of
inconvenience for some time to come.
He was driving in a cart near Mr. Cnsh
ing'g place, when the horse became
frightened and started to lunge. In some
way the- cart was overturned and Mr.
TJrquhart thrown to the ground. His
shoulder was dislocated, but he was not
otherwise injured. Dr. Eshelman was
called and attended to his injuries. . He
will be able to be around in a short time
but it . will be quite a while before be
can arrest any fractions prisoners. .
The Defender Given the Race.
Mr. O. H. Pihl, one of the govern
ment engineers who has been at work in
connection with the obstructions at the
dalles, was in the city today. In com
pany with Ahio Watt, tax agent of the
B. & N. Co., Mr. Pihl visited the
rapids above The Dalles yesterday. He
interviewed some of the people who own
land along the proposed survey, relative I
to the possibility of obtaining the need
ed right of way. Mr. Pihl is in favor of
boat railway as the easiest way of over
coming the obstacles, and freely ex
pressed this opinion to a Chronicle
representative who conversed with him
today. He giyes two reasons for this be
lief. First, that the length of time neces
sary for a boat to pass lrom the river
below the rapids to the smooth water
above would be much shorter by means
of a Bhip railway than through a canal.
It would take, so Mr. Pihl estimated,
three or four hours for a boat to go
through the canal, while one-half the
time would do for transportation on the
boat? railway. The second reason was
the cheaper cost ot construction.
Mr. Pihl will make his report to
headquarters, and this -winter may see
some action taken regarding starting
operations. Major Post also is said to
favor a boat railwav rather than a canal,
Warrant to Collect Taxes.
Mr. Tyler, of the Western Union, re
ceived the bulletins today from New
York regarding the yacht race of yester
day. The first one read "The committee
sustains the protest.". The second one,
"The Defender is given the race." This
probably means that the Valkyrie wag
thrown out on account of a foul and the
Defender was given the race. If such
be the case there will be great rejoicing
throughout America and the decision of
the committee will be applauded.

Drug Co. Telephone No. 3.
The county court at its last session' is
sued a warrant to the sheriff command
ing Dim to levy upon the property on
which the taxes are delinquent for 1894.
The tax roll has already been gone over
and a delinquent list prepared. The
sheriff , will appoint deputies in every
precinct, who - will levy upon the prop
erty and make a return. After being
advertised, all property upon which levy
has been made, will be sold at public
sale. The part of the warrant referring
to the levying'process reads this way ':
You are hereby commanded to collect
the taxes by seizure and sale of. the
goods and chattels of such delinquent
taxpayers whose names appear on the
foregoing list, and it none be found, then
upon the real property,. as set forth in
the delinquent tax list, or so. much
thereof as may be necessary to satisfy
the amount of taxes so charged, together
with the costs and expenses of collect
ing, and that you pay over all moneys
so collected to the treasurer of said
county. - .. -.. ;
The warrant from the county court is
dated September 9, 1895, and made re
turn a Die in sixty days. The court says
the taxed must be collected, and the
sheriff and his deputies are going to see
thrt the mandate is obeyed.
. Congressman Bryan tn The Dalles.
Congressman W. J. Bryan, the silver
tongued orator for eilver of Nebraska,
arrived in The Dalles on the early morn
ing train and continued his journey to
Portland by the boat. : He was accom
panied by his wife and. child. . Mr.
Bryan wa an early riser, and spent the
daylight " hours before the Begulator
left in walking around town and visiting
several points of interest. Among other
things, he took a look at the new can
nery, and was fortunate to see it when
crowded with fish. - The party seemed
greatly astonished at the amount of fish
heaped on the cannery floor, and inter
ested in having the machinery and can
nery appliances explained A can of
salmon was given to Mrs. Bryan, which
she said she would take to her Nebraska
home. ' ' '
Considerable curiosity was manifested
by people at the dock to see the man
from Nebraska whose fame is wide in
the land as one of the foremost cham
pions of free silver coinage. He is a
large, well-built man, with a face that
shows determination, and an eye that
flashes as if denoting fire. He is dark
complected, with hair of coal black color,
He wore a Japel button with "16 to 1"
printed in large letters, so a stranger
would easily know what his views upon
the silver question were.
In a brief conversation Mr. Bryan ex
pressed himself ; as delighted with the
trip so far, but sorry that the day on the
river promised to be so wet. He had
heard a great deal about the beauties of
the Columbia river, and wished to see
them at their best.
Begarding the silver question, the dis
tinguished gentleman had little to say,
except that he believed in the ultimate
triumph of the white metal. During
his short stay in Oregon, Mr. Bryan will
be heard upon the coinage question.
Fell Off the Railroad Bridge.
Last night about 8 o'clock Nightwatch
man Connelly was "notified that an In
dian had fallen off the bridge leading to
the company's shops. In company with
Sheriff Driver and 8 Chkoniclk reporter,
Mr. Connelly went to investigate the
matter and underneath the bridge found
the Indian. He bad fallen off the south
side of the trestle, where there is no
railing and made a tumble in the air of
over forty feet. He was lying all in a
heap, but perfectly conscious though
suffering considerable pain. ' He was
assisted to his feet and after resting a
short while was able to walk to the city
jail, complaining all the while of feeling
sick.' He gave his name as Indian
Charley and said he lived across Mill
creek - and was going home at an early
hour, as every good man should do. He
admitted haying imbibed rather strongly
of the white man's cider and it is sap-
posed that in crossing the bridge the
number of glowing headlights so multi
plied to him that he stepped to one side
in order to escape trains fr6m all direc
tions. . He struck on his head on a sand
pile and when found was lying upon the
brink of the creek. If he had fallen a
foot or two to one side he would have
had an impromptu bath. Last eight he
seemed to be badly hurt and bled , in'
ternally, but this morning when the
marshal opened the jail door he found
him sobered up and ready to go, more
fully convinced than ever of the benefits
of whisky since he will probably argue
that if . he hadn't been drunk the fall
would have killed him.
Meeting of the Militia Officers.
The regimental and company commis
sioned officers of the National Guard in
The Dalles held a meeting last night in
the company rooms to arrange for the
management of the Vogt opera house
during the coming season.' Colonel
Thompson, Lt. Col. Patterson, Major
Booth, Capt. Chrisman, Adjutant Bid
dell, Lieuts. Varney and McAvoy were
present and took part in the deliber
ations. The meeting was called primarily to
consider ways and means to obtain
scenery for the stage and to fit out the
opera house in proper stjrle. It was de
cided to give an opening performance in
the latter part of October and ask the
Home Dramatic Club to take charge of
the performance for the benefit of the
militia. It was stated that the members
of the amateur theatrical organization
had been spoken to and had expressed a
willingness to co-operate in every' way
possible. The choice of a play and the
naming of the date was left with the
club.
A committee consisting of Colonel Geo.
T. Thompson, Lt. Col. J. M. Patterson:
Capt. Levi Chrisman, Capt. O. C. Hoi
lister and Lieut. H. H. Biddell, was ap
pointed to take control of the opera
house and act as a managing committee.
The intention of the militia company
and the committee is to spare neither
labor , nor expense in making the new
opera house attractive. .,-.-
Mrs. Hawley Hurt.' ""
An accident occurred at the Salvation
Army barracks last night which resulted
in a broken arm. Mrs. Hawley, a
middle aged lady, living on the hill, waa
coming out of the hall at the close of the
devotional exercises last night and as
she stepped on the sidewalk her foot
slipped, causing her to fall. Her left
arm was bent under as she fell and
broken just at the wrist. The unfortun
ate lady was taken home and Dr. Doane
summoned to attend the injuries. She" '
was not otherwise hurt.
