Word has just come to town that a lot
of hay on the Porter place, a few miles
from Antelope, was burned day before
yesterday. .Phil Brogan lost between
seventy and eighty tons, which he was
saving for the winter feeding. Tracks
were seen leading from the stacks, and
the despicable miscreants have been
tracked and parties a.re pow in pursuit.
This is the first ooourrenoe of this kind
near Antelope, though similar burnings
have been frequent near Mitchell, It is
hard to understand how a man can be
so mean as to set fire to a neighbor's
haystack, but so it seems. It is to be
hoped that some of the offenders may
be caught, and such an example made
of them that others will be prevented
from imitating them.
The lecture given by Dr. G. W. Gue at
at the Armory last night was very largly
attended, it being estimated that over
400 people were in the hall. Dr. Gue
was introduced by J. M. Patterson, Esq.
and for over an hour entertained his
hearers. The address was what might
be called an "off-hand" one, being free
from any attempt at oratory yet full of
power. At times the speaker rose to
eloquence. Dr. Gue is an old soldier
and loves the American flag, and all that
it means, with an enthusiasm delightful
to see. His address last evening was
patriotic to the core and made a deep
impression upon the audience. During
the course of his remarks he told
some amusing anetdotes of army life I
with which the old soldiers present
could sympathize. Dr. Gue returned to
Portland this morning.
J. M. Phillips, general agent of the
Howe-Readick combination, arrived in

THE DALLES, OR,
An Athletic Club Organized.
Alter being ont all night the jury in
the case of the State vs. H. F. Jackson
returned a verdict of not guilty. Most
of the day was occupied in securing a
jury and but little time used in the in
troduction of testimony. . The Btate in
troduced several wittnesses to prove the
reputation of the place which the de-
fedant was charged with maintaining.
The jury came in this morning and asked
that the instructions be read again.
When they again retired and delib-
liberated for an hour or more they came
in at 10 :30 with a- verdict of not guilty.
A meeting was held yesterday after
noon by a number of young men who
had been in the athletic class of Prof.
Christol. ' The meeting was called to con
sider the advisability of forming a clcb,
a prominent feature of which should be
athletic exercise. After some informal
discussion the members present pro
ceeded to a temporary organization with
the following chosen as temporary of
ficers. H. A. Bills, president; F. W.
Wilson, vice president; Max A. Vogt,
secretary and N. ' J. Sinnott, treasurer.
An opportunity was given those present
to sign the roll and soon twenty -one
names were recorded. The organization
yesterday was purely temporary and it
is the intention to meet again during the
week, after more signatures have been
obtained to the list of members and have
a permanent organization. A constitu
tion and by laws will be adopted, com-J
mittees appointed to purchase gymnastic
apparatus and attend to various other
matters of detail, . The club intends
having a gymnasium, especially com
plete in apparatus for light gymnastics,
with hot and cold shower baths- The
club is being organized on a broad ecale
and thus far meets with general approval.
The social feature will not be neglected
and a reading room and place for holding
meetings will be provided. It is not
known what building will be seleoted
but the members have several in view.
The one that seems the most convenient
is the second floor of the Grant building,
at the corner of First and Washington
streets. This building was damaged by
the recent fire and is now being thor
oughly renovated. An opportunity will
be given to those wishing to become
members of the club to do so before the
next meeting. Such an organization is
one which has long been needed in The
PalleB and it is to be hond success wjll .
attend the efforts 6t th8 promoters.
and with chrysanthemums in profusion.
With historic fitness,, recognizing the
native state of the hospitable entertainer,
a large part of the afternoon was spent
in guessing, an occupation which proved
so fascinating that only the tempting
viands on the various lunch tables could
call a temporary halt. When the result '
of the guessing was summed up it was
found that Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Wilson .
were entitled to elegant birch bark.
paintings for the most successful guess
ing. To keep the rest of the guests .
more contented they too were awarded a
birch bark picture, also a souvenir of the '
"Green mountain" state. The me
mentoes will be highly valued. Those
who were fortunate, to partake of Mrs.
Wilson's hospitality were Mrs Lewis,
Mrs E J Collins, Mrs Phillips, Mrs C W.
Taylor, of Wallula, Mrs W E Garretson,
Mrs W C Curtis, Mrs W H Biggs, Mrs J
B Condon, Mrs Elizabeth Wilson, Mrs
Bayley, Mrs Cooper, Mrs O C Hollister.
The Chinamen Indicted.
Late Saturday afterncon the grand
jury returned true bills against Lee Git
and Lee Ching who are accused of mur
dering Lock Wa last August. This
morning the defendants appeared in
court and throngh their attorneys Hun
tington & Wilson, entered demurers to
the Indictment. As the Chinamen were
indicted severally, separate demurers
were bled, though they are similar
in purport. The demurers are taken to
indictment first because it does not state
facts sufficient to constitute a crime;
second that it does not conform to chap.
viii of the code of Oregon in this : "
X, inat the act charged as the crime
is not stated with such a degree of cer
tainty as to enable the court to pronounce
judgment upon conviction, according to
the right of the case.
II, That the act charged is not
clearly and distinctly set forth in ordi
nary and concise language in such a
manner as to enable a person of common
understanding to know what is intended.
An Afternoon Party.
Seventeen ladies spent a pleasant after
noon last Saturday at the residence of
Mrs. H. S. Wilson. The rooms were
prettily decorated with Oregon grape
. A traveling man just returned to The
Dalles told a Chronicle reporter this
morning a joke on a well known engineer
on the O. R. & N. Those who have
traveled between Walls Walla . and
Pendleton will remember that the tracks
of the O. R. & N. and the Washington &
Columbia River railroad run parallel out
of Pendleton for a distance of some miles,
as the story goes, this engineer, we will
call him "Mac." for short, was "pulling"
a special with Superintendent O'Brien
aboard. A short distance from Pendle
ton "Mac", was speeding them along
when suddenly be saw a train, also at
full speed, approaching from the oppo
site direction. Visions of a death deal
ing, "head on" collision darted through
his brain and quick as a flash he gave,
the emergency signal, hoisted the lever
over, and jnmped. Tfoe SHddPfl f tPPPini
of the trwq trOBght Mr. O'Britn out id
a jiffy to inquire what was the matter,
I and just as the engineer was tolling him
I to look oul or a 6llis!oh the W. &
train darted past with the trainmen
wondering what the superintendent and
the O. R. & N. engineer were so intently
discussing. Mr. O'Brien gave one look
and. got back into the coach while the
engineer climbed into the cab opened
the throttle and let out a sentence which
sounded something like " these
parallel roads anyhow."
The services at the Congregational
church last evening were out of the
usual order. Instead of the regular ser
mon Mr. Curtis read a paper on "Some
of the Early Missionaries of the North
west." which told of their early struggles
and the great good in which their efforts
resulted. The paper was very interest- ,
ing. Mr, Curtis was followed by Mrs.
Elizabeth Wilson who read an essay on
the great triumverate of pioneers, Dr.
John McLoughlin, James II. Wilbur and
Cusbing Eels. The paper contained
many antedotes of these worthy men,
some of them incidents in Mrs. Wilsoi.'s
acquaintance with them. The speaker
paid tributes to their memory and held
them up as examples of what good citi
zens should be.
A few 'wagon loads of wheat reached
town today, but the season seems about
over.
