Saturday the steamer lone made her
final trip on the upper river. Her owners
found that to cut rates and try to take
business away from the line of boats al
ready established by the people, was
'not a paying business. We understand
that during the time the lone plied be'
tween this city and Portland, her own
ers' lost over $1,000 in the venture,
and as their expense seemed to be on the
increase rather than on the decrease,
they acted wisely in putting their
boat back on the old run.
Last night there was a union meeting
of the different churches at the Method
ist church in the interest of the Crit
tenden Refuge Home. Mrs. N. ,
Hoxter of Portland spoke in behalf of
the home, and so much earnestness and
feeling were put into the address as she
told of the wonderful work being ac
complished by this institution in Port
land, that a renewed interest was awak
ened, and when asked for a contribution
the audience responded willingly. One
branch of their work, which has proven
a blessing, is that accomplished at the
depot, where a matron has been placed
to care for young girls who may be trav
eling alone.

Laet Friday afternoon Mrs. H. W,
French gave a party for her little sister,
Florence, who was np from Portland
visiting her. Nine girls about Flor
ences age, between a and iu, were in
vited, and when upon arriving they
found that they were to play the game
which all the older people are so excited
over they were deiignted and spent
most of the afternoon at parlor bowling,
When they were invited oat to lunch
each little girl found a pretty candy cane
designating her place at the table. The
lunch was greatly' enjoyed,- and the
dainty decoration of the table was at
tractive aa well as the good things there'
on.
Shortly after dinner today Mike Bren
nan, one ot the men engaged in the
construction work on tbe new bridge.
fell from the plank on which be was
standing to the ground below ,a distance
of about twenty feet, and broke his
ankle. Drs. Logan and Doane reduced
tbe fracture, and he is resting easy.
Owing to the scarcity of suitable lum
ber, the work on the new bridge could
not be pushed as rapidly as it would
otherwise bave been. Several carloads
arrived today and is being unloaded
this afternoon. Since tbe material is
on the ground it will take but a short
time for the bridge gang to put it in
place.
William Lemon, whom Sheriff Driver
arrested in North Yakima a few days
ago for robbery, .was brought before
Justice Filloon yesterday, and as some
of the witnesses could not be found, the
case was put off until tomorrow. It

ing stolen a saddle from E. Anderson of
Chenoweth creek. H. S. Wilson will
appear for tne defendant, while A. A.
Jayne appears for tbe prosecution.
Willard Vanderpool of Dufur is in the
city today greeting old friends and at
tending to business matters. He states
that word has been received from Jeff
Heisler of Beaver creek, who recently
left for Klondike. Mr. Heisler wrote
from Sheep Camp, and spoke very en
couragingly. He says that so far on his
journey the cold has not been severe,
and that he has hopes of reaching his
destination without any serious trouble.
A letter was received from Billy
Wiseman today dated it Jnneau, Dec.
23d. He is engaged in business at that
place, and says he is getting along nice
ly. The weather there up to that time
was not colder than it usually is in The
Dalles during the winter. He has been
to Skaguay and Dyea, and states that

DESPERATE CHARACTER KILLED
Harry Hessy Resists trie Dalles Officers
. and la Shot.
Friday morning a man by the name
of Williams informed' Nightwatchman
Wiley that be bad come into town with
a man whom he knew to be a desperate
character, and whom be suspected from
his conversation, was the man who had
broke jail at Oregon City a few days
ago. Williams said that he met him at
Troutdale and traveled with him from
that place. Deputy Sheriff Kelly tele
graphed to Chief of Police Burns of Ore
gon City, and was informed that the es
caped man's name was Harry HeBee and
his description tallied exactly.
'About 4 o'clock in the afternoon Night
watchman Wiley, Coroner Butts and
Special Deputy William Spencer went
up to where Hessy was camped, near
the company's ice-house, east of town.
Spencer was the first to accost him, and
he made him believe that he was a
tramp and conversed with him for some
time. When Wiley and Butts came up
the desperado did not seem to think
that they were officers, and it - was not
until Wiley and Spencer had their guns
leveled at him that, he suspected who
they were. When ordered to throw up
his hands, he hastily drew a 44-calibre
Colts, and was about to level it on Mr.
Unite, when Wiley and opencer, as a
last resort, fired, and tbe desperado fell
over on his face with a bullet ip bis
brain, it having entered the left temple
and passed through tbe head, shattering
the skull on the right side, but did not
come through..
He was takon to Crandall & Burgett'a
undertaking- parlors and an inquest
held, the following being tbe verdict :
Thb Dalles, Dec. 31, 1897,
We, the undersigned, impaneled as a
cononer's jury to inquire into the facts
eurronndine the death of an unknown
man, whose body is now before us, find
as follows :
That the name of tbe deceased, so far
as we are able to ascertain, is Marry
HesBV. an escaped convict from tbe Ore:
gon City jail, and wanted there for vio
lating the law, being at the time of his
death a felon. We find his personal
dress to be as follows: Black suit,
frock coat, black shirt, black fedora hat
congress shoes; weight about 170; age
about 21; wore two large checkered
shirts and drawers, brown overcoat, and
was light complexloned. from tbe dif
ferent articles taken from his person, we
believe him to be a highwayman and
a desperate character.
We hnd that he came to his aeatn
while resisting and undertaking to kill
officers of the law while in discharge of
their lawful duties in seeking to arrest
him under request of tbe chief of police
of Oregon City. Or.
We also hnd that tbe shooting whicn
led to bis death on tbe part of the
officers, J. J. Wiley and William Spen
cer, was perfectly justifiable on their
part, and necessary to preserve their
own lives ; and we not only exonerate
them from all blame for causing tbe
death of the deceased, but we commend
them for their prompt action in saving
themselves and bringing to a cloBe tbe
life of one who is a dangerous and mnr
derous person, and one who should not
be allowed to roam the land at liberty,
and who was, in fact, eluding officers of
the law of other places, where he was
wanted at the time of his death.

arrived Saturday evening and identified
the pistol, underclothing, overcoat, hat,
shoes,' and in fact everything that
Hessy had except his mask, that being
tbe only article found on bis person that
he did not have when be broke jail
Mr. Guise of Woodbnrn, whose store
Hessy robbed, had offered $20 reward
for his arrest, whiqh is a small recom
pense for the danger our officers in'
curred in attempting to arrest such a
man. His brother, who helped him to
commit the Woodbnrn robbery, is at
present in jail in Salem.

carried off the third prize.
THE FOOT BALL GAME.
The Ramblera ftin by a Score of Six to
four.
The game was lively throughout and
well attended, considering the baate
with which it was gotten up, and the
uncertainty about the whole matter pn
til tne day oetore it was played. as is
the case in all foot ball games, the en'
thuaiasts crowded the front rowB, while
those tab ing Icbs interest remained more
in the background, and the fences and
housetops were lined with men and
boys anxious to get a free view of the
game.
The game was called promptly at
o'clock, our boys having tbe choice of
goals. Portland was given 'the kick off.
During the greater part of the first half
the game was doubtful, when Portland
succeeded in getting a touch down and
kicking a goal, which made tbe score
six to nothing at the end of the first
half. In tbe last half the playing was
lively on both sides and the time was
almost up when one of the .Portland
boys made a fumhle which gave our boys
a touch'down, but tbey failed to kick a
goal, and when time was called the score
stood six to four in favor of Portland.
The following are the players.

The revival meetings at the Christian
church are of a very interesting order.
Rev. Boltz, tbe new pastor, is an able
and fearless expounder of religious
thought, and is already doing much
good. Three bave been added to the
church- this, week, and it is expected
many more will follow. Tonight his
subject for discourse will be "The Di
vine Authenticity of the Scriptures."
A cordial invitation is extended to all to
attend these meetings.
Considering the excellence of the show
that' was put on at the Vbgt last' night,
tbe attendance was not what it should
bave been. ,The company consisted of
only nine people, bnt each was an ar
tist in their respective lines, axd this is
a proof that in order to have a good
show it is not necessary to have a palace
car and fifty people. . In this line as in
all others it is the quality rather than
the quantity that counts, and the quali
ty of the "Pulse of New York", is as
good as represented. ,
