Portland, Nov., 25. The Orego
nian fays: The Iodiana in attend
ance upon the Federal -court are not
pleased with the verdict ot toe jury
holding ; Albert Martin guilty of
nanelaugbter. in the killing of U.
S. Grant upon - the Silefz reserva
tion a short time ago. i The ex
pressed opinion of these red men, or
at least the majority ; of ' them, is
that Martin did not 'commit the
act that cost-Grant his life, and they
do not think it is just to punish
him. , The convicted I. man shows
less concern over the result of bis
trial than the members of his tribe,
who watched every step of the trial,
and who were grouped about : the
building yesterday, telling each
other what they thought of the de
cision of the case. " ;:
"Injuns think Martin ; no kill
Gran t, 'jwas the reply of t be xed
men when they were asked what
they - thought of his conviction.
'Injuns think Martin tell truth;
but they think he drank no think
be ' bad "man." The tncentive
prompting this feeling on the part
of the Indians may arise from the
tribal feeling and differences that
have 'already been shown to have
played , a prominent part in the
murder, but whether this he the cause
or not, red men evidently hold
strong sentiments .in Martin's favor
A noticeable circumstance in con
nection with the murder that is as
cribed to the time honored custom
of the Indian and his strange - idea
of justice, is the fact that Grant was
evidently killed bybeating to death
on the head. - This was the manner
in which "Indian Tom," the rela
tive of the two prisoners, was kill
ed. It is a custom among the In
dians that has been observed for
ages that the death of a member of
a tribe shall be avenged in the same
manner in which death was inflict
ed upon the slain Indian. As was
brought out during the trial of Mar
tin, the motive for the killing of
Grant was traced to the murder of
"Indian Tom," and by some of the
Indians who could be induced to
talk about the matter, the killing
of Grant, by whomever it may have
been done, was but the visiting of
lodian justice upon one whom the
Joshuas thought responsible for the
escape from justice of the murderer
of "Indian Tom." M
The trial of Abe Logan,: to de
termine bis guilt or innocence, be
gan yesterday morning. The pros
ecution occupied the entire day in
troducing testimony for the govern
ment. This testimony appears to
be very Strang again Logan, and
the prisoner watched each step of
the caee with anxious interest. The
witnesses examined were the same
as those put upon the stand during
the trial of Martin, but . additional
testimony is being brought out rel
ative to Logan's connection with
the crime. - ' ' -" - ' "' 1
Daring the morning session the
tfforts of. the prosecution were de
voted to the tak ojf attempting, to
prove that an empty gun found in
Grant's pocket after the murder, be-j
longs to Logan. -A number of wit
nesses testified that it did-not be
long to Grant,' and Martin s wore
that it belong to Logan. -
The most damaging testimony
against the accused . man was given
by Mrs. Martin, the wife ot the con
victed man. She testified that when
Logan came to her house, the night
of the tragedy, he had blood on his
clothing. She also ' testified that
Logan had said to her husband, in
her presence,- that Mr. Hall 'who
lives on the reservation, was the
only' one who had seen them i with
Grant, and that besought to - be
bribed to say nothing. .Herfur
ther testimony was to the effect
that Logan bad explained to her
that Grant fell from his hone 'and
hurt hims If, then eaid that her
husband had murdered him.
,Other, witnesses testified that
when Lcgan guided - them to the
place where Martin was . found
drunk he pointed to a place in the
river where he claimed that Grant
bad been thrown, and said: "Let
the ' stay there."
The defense will open its ca?e
this morning, and the trial may be
completed today.' . - '. ;':
. Portland, Nov! 25. The Orego
niao: Robert Waters 17 years old,
was drowned in the Willamette yes
terday morning, falling into the
Water from the O. R. & N. elevator
dock in Albina, while watching the
French bark Germaine unload its
cargo. The drowning was attended
by a pathetic incident. - - ; v
The report that a boy had been
drowned spread through the vicini
ty of the dock very rapidly and
many people collected to watch the
search for the body. Among the
curious was Frank Waters. He had
heard that a boy whose name was
not known 'had "been drowned.
Winning his brother Robert to go
with him to the water front, he ran
home for him. Robert was not at
home. He bad left a couple of hours
previous, so his mother told, him,
and was at the borne of one of his
friends or else bad gone" up town
she was not sure .which. , ,-; ','
. - So Frank went to the dock alone.
He watched the searching party in
its skiff until it located the body,
and then be started away, not wish
ing to see the rest. However, one
of his comrades called to him to
wait a few minutes and he did so.
He' taw the body when it was
brought to the surface of the water
some distance away and remarked
that it appeared to be that of a sail
or. When the searchers rowed to
the dock and cast up a rope to which
was fastened the form of the drown
ed boy, Frank answered the request
for volunteers and helped to hoist
it onto the dock. -.- -
As the form came over the side
of the dock he averted his head, not
wishing to see the lifeless form'of
the supposed straDger. A moment
later, though, his curiosity master
ed him and he looked.
The heart-broken lad was led
home by friends, nearly prostrated
by the sudden shock, and inconsol
able in his grief. The . body was
taken to the morgue. v
The unfortunate boy had been
standing on the dock watching a
crew of men at work unloading the
cargo of the Germain,' when he lost
his balance.; In falling to the wa
ter, a distance of 20 feet, he struck
on a heavy piece of timber. The
blow rendered him unconscious, so
that he was unable to .fight for his
life, when he was in the water. Oth
er wise the boy would have been
saved, as several of the workmen
were eyewitnesses of the occurrence
and could have cast a line inside of
half a minute. They say the lad's
body sank from sight the moment
it struck the water,

This is the . season when the
women who know the best remedy
for croup are in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most
terrible : things in tbe world is to

night by a wboop - by one of the
children. The croup remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
croup, as a revolver is sure to be
lost in .. case ' of burglars. " There
used to be an old fashioned remedy

tack. It never fails and is pleaeant
and saft to take. For sale by Gra
