The county court has granted the pe
tition praying for the incorporation of
the city of Wasco, and has ordered that

incorporated town in Sherman county.
The work of repairing Columbia light
ship No. 50 was completed at Astoria
yesterday. The lightship will be put
in commission again as soon as the new

for her. - '
The rock crusher is in shape to do
fine work, and in case the property
owners do not wish to buy the crushed
rock for the improvement of the streets,
it will be used in grading and improving
the brewery hill. As this road is in had
condition, it is an improvement which
will be beneficial to almost everyone in
the county.
Plans are on foot for a cattle conven
tion at Pendleton to be held at some
. date during the second and third week
in February, not yet decided upon.
From all appearances this will be an
event of great interest, and of decided
value to the ' cattle-raising: industry
throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Breeder will meet grower and grower
will meet buyer personally, with the re
sult that the mutual interchange of
ideas should prove oeneficial to all.
A week from Tuesday evening Cedar

. Some people 'are doing great injustice
to the D. P. & A-N Company aa well
as the White Star Line by saying that
the latter company allowed itself to be
bought off by the former, and that it
was only by bribery that captain Hoe
ford was induced to withdraw the lone
from the middle river. We know that
such is hot the case. " The reason that
the lone quit running between the Cas
cade locks and The Dalles is because it
was a losing proposition for that com
pany, and it was only on account of the
lack of patronage that caused her own
ers to take the boat off, and not on ac
aconnt of any bribery on the part of the
D. P. & A. N, Company.
The committee on invitation for the
Elks' charity ball, to be given on the
14th inst,, have decided not to send in
vitations to persons in this city, they
being sent only to persons in other towns
and the surrounding country. It is in
evitably the case that some of our towns
people are overlooked when invitations
are issued, and the Elks on this occa
sion extend a general invitation to
. everyone, as long as they are. not of a
questionable character. If anyone has
friends outside of the city whom they
wish to invite, they can have invitations
sent to them by presenting their names
to one of the members of the committee
on invitation. This ball is given for a
good purpose, and nothing is being over
looked to make it a grand success.
Some time ago Nightwatchman Wiley
found a valise hid under a box near the
O. B. & N. ice bouse, east of the city,
containing some photographs and other
articles of little value. One of the pict
ures resembled Jack Shannon, stevedore
of the steamer Regulator, who had a
number of articles stolen from his birth
in the steamer about two months ago.
'Shannon was well known in Oregon
City, and his picture was sent - to Chief
of Police Burns, of that plaee, and upon
investigation he found it to be Shan
. non's picture. ' This would go to prove
that when the boat was robbed the
thieves did.not go down the river as the
officers supposed, but on the contrary
went in the opposite- direction. Had
those articles been found shortly after
the robbery they' might have, aided in
the search for the guilty parties, but so
much time has passed that it is doubt
ful if they will do any good now.
Monday's Dally.
This morning was the coldest we have

Tickets for the Elk's charity ball,
which will take place Friday night at
the Vogt, are selling fast. Everyone,
whether they dance or not, seems to be
ready to help that society out in its
good work, and no one doubts that it
will be a grand success, financially and
socially.
Last night the Gesang Verein Har
monic, or German society, of this city,
had one of their monthly parties. A
program wasrendered, after which danc
ing was indulged in until the partici
pants were warned by the approach of a
new day that their pleasures must end.
Sumptuous refreshments were served
and as usual everyone enjoyed them
selves to the full extent.
One of the largest church gatherings
which ever assembled in this city
was the one which greeted Rev. Boltz
at the Christian church ' last night,
many being forced to turn away by the
lack of even sufficient standing room.
The revival continues during the present
week with increasing interest. The
subject for discussion tonight will be
"The Conversion of the Greatest Sinner
on Earth. .' ;
John Blackweil, living just east of
Long Creek, lies at his home seriously
injured, his horse having fallen with
him a few days ago. Mr. Blackweil was
chasing a coyote on horseback, with bis
hounds, when his horse stepped into a
hole and fell, throwing him and bruising
him badly. No bones were broken and
he will recover. The horse fell with its
head against a rock, breaking its nose
and laying bare its entire skull.
Challenges from the Willamette Ath
letic Club football team, the Albina
team and the- Ramblers have been re
ceived, but as yet our team has not de
cided as to when another game will be
played, or what challenge will be ac
cepted. Our boys pot up a good game
before and can do, so again, and the hos
pitable treatment the Portland players
received dn the last occasion makes them
desirous to come to our city for another
game. .-
This morning 'Sheriff Driver received
a letter from the authorities at Eugene
containing a check which had been
forged in that city on the 8th of Decem
ber. The writing is similar to that
which was on the check passed on Pease
& Mays a few days ago, and it looks very
much as if Claud Rice, who is at present
in jail at this place for the latter for
gery, may also be the man who com
mitted the former.. In Eugene he
bought a suit of clothes and gave the
check in payment', as he did in this city.
An investigation is being made at pres
ent in order to find out as to whether or
not the clothes he had on are the same
that he purchased in Eugene.
- Tnesday's Daily. .
Weather Tonight and Wednesday,
rain and warmer ; Chinook winds.
- While this snow . continues , to fall,
property owners should observe the or
dinance ot keeping it swept off their
sidewalks. It takes but little time to do
it and it makes walking much easier.
Extra meetings are being held in the
M. E. church in this city daring each
evening of the week, beginning at 7:30
o'clock. See further notice in another
cclrmn. ,
The new School building in the Acad
emy park is assuming a very respecta
ble appearance. The bnck wrk on the
basement is completed, and it gives one
an idea of what - the building will be
when completed.' It will be one of the
largest and. finest of our school buildings
and a credit to our city.
Monday evening has been let aside by
the managers of Moody's bowling alley
for ladies and their escorts, and quite a
number take advantage of the occasion
to spend a pleasant evening. -
Early this morning snow began fall
ing and at the time of going to press it
was still showing. As it is turning
warmer this afternoon the chances are
the storm will clear or probably turn to
rain.
"No one should be backward in buying
a ticket for the Elks' ball. The money
will be used for charitable purposes, and
we hope everyone will aid in making it
a financial success, whether they dance
or not. ;
There were seven additions to the
Christian church at the services last
night, some of whom are to be baptized
tonight. The subject for this evening's
discussion is "Ungodly Counsel and Its
Efiect." ;
The snow makes it difficult for the
bridge gang to proceed with their work,
as many of them have nothing bat. nar
row planks to stand on while . at work,
and the slighest slip would mean a fall
ttfat wbold result in broken limbs, or
probably death. .
Mr- George Williams of this place re
ceived a letter a few days ago from T. M.
Denton dated Dawson City, Oct. 28,
1897. Mr. Denton seems to be very
favorably impressed with Klondike, and
urges Mr. Williams to come as soon as
possible. He has staked claims, bat at
the time he wrote be did not seem to be
able to say anything as to their values,
as be has not had an opportunity to
work them properly. .
The projectors of the new fair grounds
and racetrack in Pendleton are meeting
with success in soliciting subscribers to
the stock. Already $2500 has been sub
scribed, and more is promised.. Of
these subscribers, fonr agreed to each
take $150 worth of stock, $1000 in - all,
It is expected that in a very few days
the total of $7500 required will be sub
scribed. Owing .to the fact that The
Dalles fair grounds are going to be
turned into city lots, it is more than
likely that the next meeting of the Eaet
ern Oregon Agricultural Society will be
held at Pendleton.. It has been the de
sire of that city for a long time to have
the meeting there, and at last it seems
that her efforts have met with success.
The Harney Valby News says that
Edward L. Oliver, the man who killed
Peter French, made the following state
ment: "Believing that stock of mine
was in the band about to be driven
away, I went into the field to see.
French rode up and reminded me that I
bad been forbidden to trespass on his
land. Words followed, and French used
his whip on me". ' I drew my gun and
shot in sell-defense. When French fell
I rode around and saw that I had killed
him. I paused to consider .whether-to
go to Burns oriome first, and decided
on the latter course." . , ,
William Putnam' and Parrish John
son, who iett youlee Ulty, wasn., De
cember 20th for their place thirty miles
northeast of Waterville, were found
frozen to death about thirty miles from
Coulee City by a search party. They
bad lost their way- and wandered in a
circle for nearly 100 miles. . When last
seen, three weeks ago, they were ten
miles.from Coulee City, and were start

an old settler, 50 years of age. When
found his feet were in a badger hole, and
his left hand indicated ibat in despera
tion he had cut or gnawed it and sucked
hfl own blood. Putnam - was found
ven miles furtheron. ' . '.'.
We are informed by Sheriff Driver
that "Dakota" Slim, who is at present
in jail in Colfax for the murder of Or
ville Hay den, and who had such a nar
row -escape a - few days since of. being
lynched with his partner in that crime
by an infuriated mob, stopped over in
this city and pawned the gun which he
used in the murder of Hayden. at Uncle
Jack's loan office. After his preliminary
examination he was released on account
of insufficient evidence, and left Colfax
for Portland. It was tie confession of
Marshall that caused his arrest the sec
ond time. The gun is ivory-handled,
nickel-plate, 38-calibre, and has . the
owner s initials engraved on it. Mr.,
Driver will send it to the sheriff at
Colfax. ' . :
M. E. Meetings.
The usual extra mid-winter revival
meetings in the Methodist church in
this city have already commenced and
been in progress during the past week,
with many encouraging signs of . perma
nent good, to all who. have been : privi
leged to attend.' The pastor, Rev. J. H.
Wood, is conducting the meetings with
out other aid, as yet, from Outside help.
Under his faithful leadership the' meet

beginning, until' all have aot only been
benefited, but some have been greatly
blessed. Indeed, some have even dared
to think and say that old-time Method
ism is still alive among as. .
All who enjoy such meetings are most
cordially invited to be present. Meet

LYNCHING IN COLFAX.
Chad wick Marshall, the Suspected Hst'
derer, Mobbed.
Chadwick Marshall, .the suspected
murderer of young Hayden, near Farm
ington, on the night of October 22d, was
taken from the jail at Colfax at 2 o'clock
Saturday morning, and hanged to the
west wall of the court house. t
. Friday there-was a suspicion that a
mob was collecting, bat the officers made
no preparation to resist. A few rain
utes after 1 o'clock a body of masked
men marched up Mill street, east of the
jail.
Jailer Treff, who was the only officer
about the courthouse, was awakened and
tola tnat an officer wanted a . prisoner
locked np. - On coming out he was con
fronted by the masked men with cocked
revolvers', and told that the mob wanted
to bang "Blackey," Chadwick Marshall
and "Dakota Slim" McDonald. The
keys were demanded and the officer de
livered them up to the mob.
Twelve members of the mob then
entered the jail, taking Treff with them
When the mob came to . the cell where
"Dakota Slim" was confined he pro
tested his innocence, and said :' ,
"Take 'Blackey,' who . admits his
guilt, and if he implicates me I will go."
This was considered fair, and they
proceeded to "BIackey's"cell, and awak
ened the inmate. '. He bad only time to
cry put: ''Don't hurt me. Before God
I am innocent," when a member of the
mob struck him a heavy blow over the
head with an irc-n bar, stunning him.
A rope was then fastened around
Blackey 's' neck and he was dragged and
carried to the superior courtroom,where
the other end cf the eight-foot rope was
made fast and his body hurled oat of the
window, head foremost.
While this was being, done a part of
the mob went back to "Dakota's" cell
again, and found that he had the key
hole stuffed with rags in such a manner
as to prevent their entering, keeping
his body protected by the inner cell
door, which is of solid steel..
Finally one of the members of the
mob succeeded, in getting a glimpse of
"Dakota's" 'shoulder and fired at him.
He fell to the floor exclaiming : 'My
God, they have killed me."
After considerable wrangling as to
whether or not another shot was nec
esary, it was decided that be was dead,
and the .mob withdrew. """Dakota's"
injuries, however, were not serious.
It is evident that the mob was influ
enced, by the action of .' the court
Wednesday, when, on motion of the de
fense,, information charging . the men
with murder was. 'quashed,, because no
preliminary examination. had been held.

KLONDIKE EXPEDITION.
Fonr Dalles Young- Men Lcsts This
Morning.
Four of our townspeople left for Klon
dike this morning by way of Dyea and
Chilcoot Pass. The party consisted of
Henry Boyen, Frank Kline, Henry Ster
man and Richard Fax. They took pas
sage on the Dalle's City this morning to
Portland, and will leave that place on
the steamer Elder Friday for Dyea.
They take about 800 pounds of provi
sions from here, and will complete their
outfit in Portland.
It was their intention, to take horses
with them, but they could not do so as
the Elder would not carry them. They
are provided with sleighs, and will draw
their outfits over the . pass on them.
They expect to have some trouble in
getting th$ir goods to the lakes, but do
not donbt that tbey will be successful in
so doing, and figure on reaching there
about February 15th. , They consider
this to be the hardest portion of their
journey.
Their, venture is one in which much
hardship must be endured, but. that
thought did not seem to worry them in
the least, as. they were in the best of
spirits when they boarded the boat this
morning..
Tub Chronicle wished them as pleas
ant a journey as it is possible for them
to have under the - circumstances, and
hopes, farther, that they will be among
the few who will make rich finds in that
land of wealth and disappointment.

a sleigh coming up behind them. A
Swede, who was hired as driver, and
Spud Murphy rode on the driver's seat,
Hank Rader and Mulligan in the sleigh.
Lew Bates bailed the night travelers
with, "Give as a ride." Mulligan rose
