HER SHARE OF CRIME BACHA3IEXTO HAS BEEX FULL OF CUUIIXALS AXD BODOS. tJie Man Arretted, Another Shot, one Ilurgrlarj- and Another Attempt ed Made a. Da)-1 Record. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1. The brutal Jnurder and robbery or Jlr. and Mrs. F. J 1, Webber Jast Sunday, and other crimes have aroused such indignation In this community that there has been a scat tering of the hobo element in the last 4 hours. Kelly, their leader, was taken xo Chief of Police Drew's office last night, where he listened to a war talk. Mr. Kelly concluded to depart this morning, and there was nobody to harangue the liobo meeting: tonight. A -number of his followers went with him. A man was ar rested today on suspicion of complicity in the Webber murder case. The officers claim that his shoes are blood-stained, lut he says they were reddened by con Tact with the snow in the mountains. It 3s claimed also that his socks show blood stains, which he says are leather utains. He is a hard-looking customer. Governor Markham has offered a reward of $1003 for the apprehension and con Mctlon of the murderers, and this will stimulate the search for them. The po lice authorities do not place any belief 3n the Idea that a Chinaman was guilty of the crime and say that two or more inen were concerned in It Just before C o'clock this morning Lee .Atkinson, employed as driver by a meat anarket. was found at Twelfth and K htreets with his head terribly beaten. He ways two men garroted and robbed him. lut were driven off by a ciiisen. who hhot at them. A man was also found a 'Llock away with a bullet hole in his breast. He told two young men that he ur.d a friend had seme trouble with an other man and that he was shot. They placed him on a street-car and he rode downtown to Fourth street, left the car und disappeared. The man who had been leaten insists that the others were gar roters and that a citizen fdiot one 'of Them. That citizen has not shown up, and it Is likely the affair was the result of a a.lght's spree. Last night two houses were entered by burglars and in the excited conditions jirevalhng, the men who did it are also wpoken of as those who committed the "Webber murder. There seems to be some reason in believing them to be the same. At 10 o'clock last night, the residence of 3ra Avery, on First street, v.as entered during the absence of the family by forc ing open a rear window, und every room in the house was turned upside down. The burglars flist procured an ax from the liasement. After leaving, they went next cioor, where Fred Johnson lived, went uu, xo the front steps, armed with the -ax, und while In the act of ringing the bell, were frightened by passers-by. In the suddenness of their fright, they dropped The ax. The supposition is that it was their intention to call Mr. Johnson to the door, brain him with the ax, and, after dragging his body Inside, attack his wife. There are, as far as known, no clues to any of the perpetrators of the series of crimes enacted during the past few days. Mrs. Henry llolburn reported to the po 3 e tonight that her husband, who is a temperance man. left home this morning to attend to business matters, and had asot since been seen by his family. He had money and checks on his person, and she iears something has happened to him. Holburn Is a traveling agent for a sew ing machine company. The police think lie will show up all right. ritOBAllLY I.l.VCHBU. Defaulter Scott Captured and Doubl Icmh Unused. O'XEILL. Neb., Jan. "1. The defaulting treasurer of Holt county, Barrett Scott, Js supposed lo have been hanged b'y a mob last night. He was captured about midnight in a lonely part of the county. He was returning with his wife, baby, lilred man and a Miss McWhirter. from a trip to relatives about 13 miles from O'Neill, when six masked men sprang from the roadside where they had been concealed, and, covering the carriage with Winchesters, ordered Scott to surrender. Scott seized the rpins and attempted to drive over the men. The masked men Then fired into the carriage, killing the Worses and shooting Scott in the neel: and wounding Miss McWhirter, though not seriously The llrst party was to be joined by a larger force, which had been placed across The road further on to intercept the car riage, had It escaped the lirst volley. Scott and Schmidt, the hired man, were taken from the vehicle, blindfolded and thrown into a wngon. and the ladles were ToM to go on. Today, Schmidt returned. He had been taken to a house in the i crthwest part of the county with Scott. Schmidt was released, -with the injunction to get out of the county. It is believed that Scott has been hanged, as the farm ers of the county are terribly incensed over his work. Scott's defalcation as treasurer of Holt county, his flight to Mexico, his subse Mnent arrest, the strong fight made against his extradition, his return in inus, incarceration, trial, conviction, sen tence, appeal, and release on bonds two v eeks ago, have been told at length from Time to time since a year ago last August, when the discovery of his criminality was sirst made public. Scott's troubles began in January, lSStt, at' the close of his first term, when he was asked to allow the ommlssloners to see the cash that his ooks fehowed to be in his hands. Scott UiJ not have the money on hand. A MANIACS MIHDEU. 'A MicblKWii linn Kill Ills AVIfe and Child nud Hums HIk Home BAY CITY. Mich.. Jan. 1.

L During the jjght. burglars made a big haul, nearly t leaning ut the grocery store of Jacob .."ornl, corner First, Market and William streets. It it not known at what hour the work was done, but th burglars evident 1 were undisturbed, for they, had a wagon backed up in front of the store. and carried nearly the entire stock away, loading into tbetr wagon several hundred cellars' warth of ntfaceltaaeous goods.

He had several sides of beeves and carcasses of sheep and swine plied at the door ready to toss in the wagon when discovered. The police have no clue. MASKED ROllBERS. A Train Held l"n at Livingston, Ala bama. BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 1. Yesterday at Livingston, Ala., two masked robbers boarded the south-bound express No. 3, on the Alabama Southern, which left here at 3:53 P. M., and robbed the express car of its valuables. It seems that the rob bers, disguised as passengers, waited until the train was in motion, and then, goina on the platform, put on their masks and entered the express car, and at the point of pistols compelled the messenger to give up the contents of the safe. The robbery was committed very quietly, and when completed the robbers backed out of the car with their pistols still on the messen ger and baggagemaster, who occupied the same ar, and, pulling the bell-cord, got off when the train slowed up and took to the woods. There is absolutely no clue, but the actions of the robbers indicate that they were green hands. The express company will not tell how much money was taken, but it is not thought to be a large amount, as the train was a local, and did not usually carry large amounts of money. MERIDIAN, Miss.i Jan. L A party of determined men, with bloodhounds, left today to hunt down the Livingston, Ala., robbers, and it is reported that two of the bandits have been run down In the Sucnr noche swamp. It is said that they are young men, who live near York, Ala. The express people claim that the robbers made a light haul. Several packages that contained money were torn up, and the express messenger saved a heavy money package by saying to the masked men: "This, too, contains lottery tickets," and throwing it on the floor.

AX EARLY MASSACRE I STORY IN WHICH GENERAL HOW ARD FIGURES PROMINENTLY. Aa Indian Uprising In the Seventies. i and the Capture of the Red- aUins by Yakima Pioneers. The history of the Yakima valley is interesting in many of its features, says the Yakima Herald. It is not the least so as to the relations of the Indians and early white sellers. No general massacie of whites occurred in this val ley, but many pioneers still live who realize how narrowly the set tlers escaped a bloody war and per haps total annihilation in the summer of 1S7S. That it had been determined by the Piutes, Moses Indians and the meaner and more savage elements of several other tribes to sweep the whites out of what is now Y'aklma and Kittitas coun ties there can be no doubt. The campaign against the whites was dsllberately and skillfully organized. Ru mors of Its impending reached some of the settlements weeks before the movement was to begin. The people of Yakima clty notifled the territorial governor, Elisha P. Ferry, that they anticipated a serious out break of the Indians, and asked his aid. As planned, the Indian campaign con templated the Piutes then in Eastern Oregon would cross the Columbia at Umatilla. Moses and his band would be between Wenatchee and the Kittitas val ley, and Chief Smalley, with his rene grades, on the Upper Natcheez. Thus lo cated. Moses and Smalley awaited the comlngof a runner to inform them ot the safe crossing of the Columbia by the Piutes, and the hour for the murderous work to begin. The Piutes were to raid the lower Yaki ma and Parker bottom, Moses was to clean out the Kittitas "valley, cross the Umptanum mountains' and -sweep theWe nas, and Smalley was to do the bloody work in the Natcheez and the Cowychee; and the three divisions were to meet for a grand slaughter of the citizens ot Yaki ma city, the Ahtanum and those who had escaped from tire other settlements. In the meantime the settlers were alert and prepared to sell their lives at the highest figure. Stockades were built one where Ellensburg new is, one in the We nas valley, and one ii) the Abtanum. The Bollman hall building at Y'aklma city the building now known as the Centen nial hotel at North Yakima was fortified and the women and children gathered there. Such was the situation when Fer ry and Howard arrived at Umatilla in the nick of time, to hurl grapeshot and can nister into the Piutes about to cross the Columbia. This tribe left the warpath and returned whence they came. As a re sult, the srand hunt for scalps was aban doned. Tills uprising resulted in the murder of two white people by the Indians. Loren zo Perkins, a brother of Mrs. L. J. May, ot North Yakima, had a stock ranch on the Columbia, near White Bluffs. With his wife, Blanche, knowing nothing of the outbreak, he started on horseback for Yakima city to buy provisions. They halted for lunch at Rattlesnake springs, unsaddling their horses. They saw a party of five mounted Indians approach ing. When a little way off the party halted and one came to them and asked for food. He was told they had but lit tle, but that it should be divided with him. While Mr. Perkins was getting the food for him the other Indians crept into a clump of brush and fired at Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, wounding Mr. Perkins in the hand. He quickly helped his wife up on her bareback horse, and they rode away at a run." Had the horses been saddled they would have escaped; the ponies of the Indians, who pursued, at once, being jaded from hard riding. But, not. used to riding with out saddle, Mrs. Perkins fell from her horse, and, her husband stopping to aid her, they were overtaken and both shot. Their effects were taken and their bodies covered with rocks at the side of a can yon. The murder -was unknown to the whites for two weeks. Finally Adam Duncan, who also had a ranch near the bluffs, came to Y'aklma city and askod Mrs. May what had become of Mr. and Mrs. Perkins. She supposed they, were at home. They then concluded that they had gone to Walla Walla for safety. On his way back to his ranch "Mr. Duncan discovered a saddle blanket, which he identified as having belonged to Mr. Per kins, and then succeeded in discovering, the bodies, which were afterwards re moved and burfed at Y'aklma city. It was truly conjectured that the mur derers had "joined Moses band. General Howard was notified and . proceeded, to Priest rapids by steamer and held u "wah-wali"" with' Moses, who agreed to deliver the murderers, "If in his midst." This he failed to do, claiming they were not with him. He continued to harbor them until the winter of "1879-SO, when about all the able-bodied men in and around Y'aklma city formed a company, with William Splawn as captain, for the purpose of going to Moses' camp on the Columbia, near Priest rapids, to guard the murderers to the county'seat, Moses havlnir nsTeed to turn them over. Ten Indian police from the reservation accompanied the party. Nearing the rap Ids the police became suspicious that Moses had set a trap for them and they advanced cautiously. It was soon . dis covered that the police were right. Moses and his entire band were there In a strong: position, warpaint on and armed to the teeth. Tne citizens got Inter position and leveled their Winchesters on the In dians. Eight or ten rifles were drawn on Moses and as many on his brother. A "wah-wah" ensued. If a gun had been fired there would have been bloody work. Whether or not It was a case of "one afraid and the other daren't," the fact remains that they agreed not to open the ball then and there, which was doubtless the prudent course for Captain Splawn and his men. Moses retreated about 13 miles and went Into camp near Moses lake. The Y'aklma boys followed later and about midnight surprised his camp, capturing him and the murderers and brought them to Yak ima city. They were all indicted, Moses as ac cessory after the fact. He was then taken out of the hands of the county by United States authorities, taken to Umatilla, had another "wah-wah" with General How ard, and finally turned up in Washing ton as the guest of the Indian depart ment, and because he was a good Indian was presented with a reservation. That he was a liar when he told Howard the murderers' were not "in his midst" is proved, the murderers while In jail recog nising one of Howard's staff officers who happened to see them there. He asked them how they knew him, and they told him that they shook hands with him while General Howard was at Priest rapids the year before. The murderers were Yaklmas who ran away from the reservation and were en their way to join Moses when they met Mr. and Mrs. Perkins. The facts given here as to the killing are such as were confessed by one of the number, who be came a witness for the territory and after the trial was discharged. Two of themwerebanged at Yakima city early Ie 1S8. One ot them shot himsolf in Moses' camp rather than be taken, and one, Tommy-hop-Towne, escaped from the jail ami was recaptured near Umatilla in the summer of 3SS1. tried at the October term of that year and hanged on Januarv io, 13. Onlccrn Instnlled. Sherman Camp, No. 10, Sons of Veter ans, held a public installation at their hall, corner of Second and Yamhill streets. last evening.

It is not generally known that Oregon possesses certain woods which are equally. If not better, adopted to the construction of musical Instruments than any else where. Professor J. A. Wesco, ot this city, who is a cultivated musical amateur and member of the Handel orchestra, says that, for the tops of violins, guitars, etc, and for the sounding board of a piano, no wood la superior to the native fir of Ore gon, which is remarkable for its straight grain and the great size it attains. For piano sounding-boards it Is especially val uable on account of Its size, as it is im possible to find trees in the East suf ficiently large to furnish a board as wide as that required, and a sounding-board made of two or more pieces ot wood Is not productive of so fine a tone as when it is of a single piece. Professor Wesco is an enthusiast on violins and spends his leisure moments manufacturing the Instruments. He claims that there is not so much in the old theory of violins improving with long usage as is generally supposed. He says that a good Instrument is produced only by the expenditure of much more time and labor and scientific knowledge than is usually expended in the manufacture of violins. As an illustration of this point, the professor mentioned a Stradiv arius in possession of Guillot, the great pen manufacturer and musical amateur, which had been left In the shop of the mdker, unvarnished ami untouched, for a period of CO years; yet the first time a bow was ever used on it, experts pro nouced the tone equal to the best of the great man's .make. Professor Wesco has a violin- of his own make, of which he is particularly proud. The wood of which it is composed was In the forest no longer ago than 18 months, and yet, as the professor draws his bow across the strings, the sound is as strong and clear and melodious as could be pro duced on many excellent Instruments that have been in use a score of years. The top of this violin is of Oregon fir, while the sides, back and neck are of the native maple of this state. DOWN THE COLUMBIA. Sarvey In Upper Washington by Gov ernment Engineer. Mr. C. F. B. Haskell, who was sent out by Captain Symons, United State3 engineers, with a party to make a topo graphical survey of the Upper Columbia from the mouth of the Okanogan down to Rock island rapids, has completed the task and returned to work up his notes in Captain Symons' office. The party has been out three months, and, although its work was through a comparatively rough and unsettled country, Mr. Haskell says it was the most pleasant camping 'trip lie ever had. The party pitched tents on a raft 20x40 feet, and gaily floated down the broad Columbia, except on a few oc casions, when rapids were shot, and the water swept over, the raft and made things interesting. The party took levels and measurements, soundings, flow of water, etc., and made careful surveys at all points where it inay be desirable to improve the channel. The dlstanpe cov ered was SO miles. "At the mouth of the Okanogan I situ ated Virginia City, ' but, for some dis tance below, the bluff comes near the river, and there are but -few settlers. On the MethoW tlver there is considerable Available lani-nnd sortiasettlements, but the chief industry of that section is min ing. The next place of any importance is Chelart, situated on a lake a few miles back from the river, and 300 feet above It. At the Entiat river, 20 miles below the crossing of the Great Northern railroad, there is quite a settlement. Wanatchee. the next place below Entiat, is quite a settlement, there being over 200 Inhabit ants in the town. From this down to Rock island rapids, 10. miles, the country opens out, and there are about 20,000 aores of available land along the river, 10,000 acres being taken up and the remainder in the 'hands of government and the Northern Pacific Railroad Company MORE HARD LUCK. Antelope Agrain on Sackcloth and Ashes Over a Footrace. .The Prlnevillle Review has this breez"y story of nerve and poor judgment: ''The people of this place and a few In terested parties from Antelope were treat ed about" 4 o'clock Christmas day to a footrace that was a footrace. As far as we arc concerned, we have seen folks run before, and with the right kind qf a start, we make very good time" ourielf, espe clallly when pointed toward a square meal about nqon. But when it comes to flying machines we pass. The way that long man from Antelope scratched gravel was a sight. As far as Hammond was concerned he didn't run he just flew: Through an oversight ori the part of the Antelope sports, flying was not barred, and as a matter of course no .ni&ng legs are long enough "to beat a fool-flying machine. It has been an open secret for several days among the sporting fra ternity of Prineville who Charles Ham mond was. Hammond is no less than A. S. Henderson, the champion of America, and no doubt the fastest foot-racer on the earth; consequently our sports were blooded, and if Hammond had accidental-' ly fallen down, Prineville's jaw would have been as badly out of place as those of the sports who were baoklng the long man from Antelope, when the race was over. "We are informed that nearly $2000 changed hands on the event, most of It coming from The Dalles. Be It said to "the credit of the Antelope boys, -they took their defeat in true sportsmanlike man ner, and, although they lost a large amount of money and the race, appar ently looked upon the matter as a purely business transaction in which their judg ment was at fault." A Battle Royal. The Boston Transcript recalls the fact that so recently as November 14, 1S30, a large pack of wolves look possession of a hill near Tamworth, N. H. The farmers, alarmed at the depredations of the beasts, formed themselves into an army 600 strong, under the command of an old offi cer. General Qulmby. The hill was sur rounded by a cordon of marksmen, who closed in upon It from all sides, and a bat tle royal resulted. The wolves were de feated and took to ilfght, leaving scores, if not hundreds, of their number dead on the field, and the town was saved. There was a grand jollification that night, when the hard cider ran free, and it may be that many persons living yet can remember the bringing into Tamwcrth of the bodies of the wolves, and the jqy that followed it, and which In strict New England con sciences justified the cider. A3Ildniirht Fire. About 12:30 o'clock this mornins: a small blazeinW.A. Chandler's fruit and confec tionery store at 147 Sixth street, between Alder and Morrison, occasioned an alarm from box No. 135. Chemical engine No. 1 put out the blaze without much diffi culty. Chief Buchtel thinks the fire started from an overheated stove in the rear of the shop. A shelf full ot toys was destroyed, but the loss will not exceed ?50.- LAST0FTHE COLLIERS KEWEENAW AND MONTSERRAT SEEN OFF CAPE FLATTERY. They Were iu,a Sea. In WnIch No Heary Veifitel Could Live Other Marine Neivs. SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Jan. 1. Captain Fi delius, of the schooner Azalea, which ar rived with lumber yesterday from Ta coma, recalls the fact that he saw two steamers off Cape Flattery the evening of December 0. which it is thought were probably the missing Keweenaw and Montserrat. The gale was at its height, and it seemed the vessel he took to be the Keweenaw had been outside the straits and passed Cape Flattery, but encountered the storm and had been turned back, and lay to under the cape. About dusk an other steamer, probably the Montserrat, passed down the straits and saluted the Keweenaw with three whistles, the lat ter responding with the same number. The steamers approached within speaking distance, and after some talk between them, both turned and went to sea, doubling the cape and passing out of sight forever. The Azales went out two hours later. The gale was kicking up a terrible sea, the decks were deluged with water and flooded the cabin. The deck load shifted, and the schooner drifted helplessly until morning, when the cap tain made out that he was seven miles from Cape Beale. There were three dis tinct seas meeting oft Flattery, according to the skipper, one from the northwest, one alongside from" the southeast, the lat ter the stronger, and the current from the straits, which, meeting the southeast sea, raised such a commotion that it is a won der that any vessel lived through it. The Azales was taken up and then laid-down like a book on the floor by the sudden and .uncertain sea, straining the vessel to her uttermost. f An Overdue Jlarlc Snfe. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1. The long overdue lumber-laden baik Columbia ar rived In port last night from Port Blake ley, making the passage In 25 days. When 14 days out, during a tedious beat against head winds, heavy gales were encoun tered when off the Columbia river. For two days the storm raged. Sails were carried away almost as soon as they were spread, and great seas washed over the vessel. The tiller broke close to the rudder-head and the bark went drifting helpless. A jury was rigged, and in that crippled condition she rode ,out the storm. The rough usage she got in the gales caused her to leak, and for the greater part of the trip her crew were kept at the pumps. A Dominion Liner in Tovr. LONDON," Jan. 1.

ClotliCH Are "Sot Alvrnys n. Reliable Guide -to the Individual. A certain earl, whose disregard of dress is quite proverbial, called at his tailor's to pay his bill. A new manager came for ward to receive the cash, and not know ing hls lordship, mistook him for a serv ant. He examined the acccAint, and after receipting it, slipped a sovereign into the suppposed servant's hand, at the same time saying confidentially: "That is a sovereign for yourself, and you know, if you had been a little bit sharper It would have been two. You don't get your master's clothes worn out half quick enough. In that time he ought to have had double the amount on that bill, and It is really worth your while to get a harder brush."

Just look here for a moment you see this bit of stick that I have just taken from the shelf? Well, that's roughened on pur pose. You take that and give your mas ter's coat a good scrubbing about the el bows every day, and give the trousers a touch about the knees, and it's at least a good 5 In "your pocket every year. You needn't think that we shall forget you." "You are indeed vlrry good," said the earl, with a meaning smile"; "I may impart your very kind instructions to my valet, though I fear while he remains with -d though I fear while he 'remains In my service he will not be able to profit by them. As for fhe future I shall not trouble you with my custom. I happen to be the earl of . -I wish you good morning." " MIIIh Henlernutiou AVanie'cl. FORT WORTH, Tex., Jan. 1.
