A large frame building belonging to

grounds burned to the ground about 3
o'clock this morning. No one went to
the fire and the nearest neighbors did
not know of it nntll they awoke this
morning. The fire had its own way en
tirelv, and stopped ot its own accord
after consuming the house. The house
was unoccupied, and the fire was prob
ably incendiary. It was insured for
$1,000. .-. '
A part of the new Williams building
is now in use for the clothing depart
ment.v Work on the interior is being

for occupancy. Painting and freECoing
is being completed as fast as the carpen
ter work is finished, so that now the
ceiling walls below the skylight have
been finished in a pretty bine, with
border of delicate white tracery, which
will set off the whole store admirably.

eaten up by the Bheep. A number of
the band are also being herded on the
reservation at the base of Mt. Hood.
One of the sheep owners, when told he
was trespassing on the government re'
serve, haughtily retorted it would take
more than 'President Cleveland's proc
lamation to keep him off the reserve.
The . pure, unadulterated gall of the
sheep men surpasses that of a govern

Killed by ft Runaway.
While Mr. Perry Watkins and a hired
man named ' William Marshall were
coming to town this morning in a hack,
they were run into by a runaway team
from . behind, driven ' by Mr. Irvine
Julian. ' This occurred at the site of the
new oil tank, and - the tank scared
Julian's horses. The tongne of Julian's
wagon, with the neckyoke, struck Wat
kins and Marshall in the back, thrust
ing them forward over the hack, which
then passed over them, as well as the
horses and wagon belonging to Mr.
Jnlian. One of the horses stepped upon
Mr. Watkins' body. When he was found
i was discovered that he was injured
internally and his injuries proved fa.tal.
He died two hours later at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. C. E. Bayard,
where he was conveyed. "
The chief injury to Mr. Marshall was
a broken foot, which will lay him up
for several weeks. Mrs. Julian received
severe bruises, but was not seriously
hurt. . ' .' . '
Mr. Watkins was 69 years of age. He
leaves three children, Mrs. Bayard,
George and Frank Watkins. George is
now in Spokane and Frank in Wasco.
They have been telephoned to, and may
be present at the funeral, which will
take ' place ' on Monday. Mr.' Watkins
came to Wasco county in 1868, where he
has lived continuously evtr since. His
farm Is about eight miles from the city.

Five Hundred and Fifty-Two Dollars
for the Loss of m W heel. -
Mr. J. M. Huntington returned last
night from Portland, where he has been
as a witness in the right of way cases of
the proposed boat railway.
Mr. ' Huntington " says the award of
damages inMr. Michell's case was very
disappointing, and contrary to the in
structions of the. court, who saw that
Mr. Michell was damaeed very materi
ally. In fact, says Mr. Huntington,
Michell was damaged more than any of
the others, for he loses entirely a good
fishing site by the right of way crossing
the Channel. . Mr. Michell had said he
wanted no damage whatever if the right
of way did not cut him out of a fish
wheel, and if the road was farther from
the river he did not' want a cent, but
would be glad to aid the road by
giving it a free . right of way over
his land. It was afterwards found
impracticable to change the survey.
however. The present survey has but
two curves in eleven miles, and the
route cannot be changed. Mr. Michell
asked $4,000 damages for a two-thirds
interest. '
The other suits to be decided are by
I. H. Taffe and Tbeo. Senfert. Taffe
claims a damage of $25,000. He loses
no wheels but has a sidetrack from the
O. R. & N. line to his fishery, thus en
abling him to ship fish Sh refrigerator
cars. - The building of the boat railway
between his fishery and the O. R. & N.
line will prevent him from ' having a
sidetrack, which will be a damage to his
business. -
" Dallcat Hurglcal Operation.
Last' week Dr. Pilkington performed
the most delicate operation known in
surgery. The operation consisted of cut
ting open Lee Perrin's eye ball and ex
tracting the lens and also clearing out a
comparatively large pus abcess in inter
ior of eye. The trouble was caused by a
piece of exploding gun cap some 5 weeks
ago, and was aggravated by another ac
cident wl)ich occured during his sleep,
Dr. Pilkington did not expect the opera
tion to restore sight, but did it with the
hope of saving the other eye which was
threatened with sympathetic trouble,
also to relieve the agonizing' pain. The
good eye is now out of danger, the pain
has all gone, and there is some prospect
for a very dim sight in the affected eye.
Dr. Pilkington was helped by Dr. A
Witham, of GraeB Valley, who adminis
tered the anaesthetic. An,teIope Herald.

TAFFE'S BIG VERDICT.
He Gets S14.200 In the Boat Railway
Case.
A stretch of sand in the Celilo country
over which a survey has been made for
a boat railway, may be more valuable
than a gold mine, if in addition to dam
ages allowed, a right of way is granted
fishermen to transport their catch. ' In
the United States circuit court Saturday",
in the suit of the United States vs. I. H.
Taffe, to condemn lands at The Dalles
for the boat railway to be built by the
government, a verdict was rendered in
favor of Taffe for $14,200. Taffe has a
cannery and fishing grounds at the
dalles, and he claims the boat railway
running across his land will cut off a
spur between the river and his fish
house, and will also take from him a
valuable gravel pit, containing placer
gold, and worth a great deal to him.
Seufert Bros, are suing for $150,000.
Their damage consists, besides being
cut off from delivering their fish, in
about $15,000 worth of property already
built upon the right of way, which will
have to be removed. The government
desires an absolute deed to the strip of
land 200 feet in width for the boat rail
way, and if Senfert Bros, cannot get
permission or purchase a right to cross
the government track, they will be com
pelled to suspend their fishing business,
for there is no other way to deliver their
fish. - '''-.
It is thought by some that the boat
railway will never be actually built, or
at least that it is an event so far in the
future that it will not affect the present
owners of fishery interests. ; But if it is,
there is every probability that the gov
ernment will not deliberately wipe out
an industry - by refusing to grant it a
right of way, a right by which nothing
is lost on the part of the government.
Still government officials, clothed in a
little brief authority, are sometimes
very obstinate and the coils of red tape
are often iuterininable, and the damages
asked by Taffe and Seufert Bros, may
under certain circumstances that may
happen be inadequate to the actual in
juries received.
The Lutherans and Pastor.
Rev. L. Grey, the new minister of the
Lutheran church here, is rapidly build
ing up a large congregation, and his
efforts deserve to be crowned with the
fullest succesi, as they doubtless will
be. He is a good worker. He finds
there are about 150 men and women in
The Dalles who have at some time past

Many are! slow in attending services,
