Ma her A rather bad stabbing affray occurred about 10 o'clock last night on Baker St. near First, one that depends on the next few bours to determine how serious the result will be. About two weeks ago Billy Maher, former New York man, arrived in Al bany and secured a position in P. C. Anlerson'b blacksmith shop, lie was about 25 years of age, a muscular, pow eiful young man. On Sunday, the 21st instant, he and Jas Blackburn went across the Willamette in order to settle which was the better fighter, and when the con'est was over it was very em phatically in Maher's favor. Blackburn did not forget it. Last evening about 10 o'clock they met in Emil Etter's saloon. Maher had been drinking heavily and was very intoxicated, and ha t bsen'fir some time. Maher gave this version of what followed to ths Democrat man : Blackburn remarked atout working in the wheat field, when Maher responded: "the h 1 you have," whereupon Black burn knocked him down. Shortly after wards Maher went out side, and a. looking for Charley McClain, another blacksmith. when he saw a man on baker street about half way back to the end of the building, whom he approached. It proved to be Blackburn, who, withont any warning as he staggered up to him. i began slashing him in the back. He fell to the ground with Blackburn upon him- Fred Senders and another man near by, then followed and took him off. Senders says that Maher was on top of Blackburn, and that he only saw part of the affair, after the men we're down; but they had been fighting. . Blackburn had been drinking some, but it is said very little. Dr. Davis was seat for. Th? wounded man was taken to the woman's cell in the jail and his wounds dressed. There mere six stabs and a shallow slash fourteen inches long, all in the back. One stab went clear i.i to the lungs, at the right boulder blade. another co-e by to a bone, the others were email ones and mere scattered. Dr. Davis thinks the man r. iii get up all right but i' will depend ou whether in flammation sets in in the case of the lumr stab. Blackburn refuses to m:ke any state ment at the pre? en t time He kave himself np to Marshal lee and wss placed in the county jail, where he awaits a preliminary examination Tiie Democrat man called on Maher this morning at the jail. He was entire ly rational and gave his version ot tne matter as stated ; bet was too much in toxicated when the affair occurred to go j into tne r.eians. Maher says he is a cousin of the cel ebrated pugilist, Peter Maher. The prevailing opinion on the s reet, gathered from the confiictim; tatements, is that the aesaalt was a deliberate and premeditated one. What k;nd of a knife was used is not knon for certain, only a clean pocket knife being found on Black burn, but it is thought to have been a lorg bladed knife. The cuts are straight in. except the leng gash, which shows a downward slash. The Democrat merely -Jves the facts in the case the best it can learn tbeji, leaving it for the tkuris of iusth-e to dj the judging. A warrant was issued this afternoon out of Justice Hawkins court, charging the deiendant with astaa.t with intent to kill, lhe time for a hearing will be tet hereafter. A preliminary examination ill be had as eoou as juaner is in a condition to testify. Mrs. C. A Stephens left for her home in The Dalles this noon. Mrs. J.

C. tall, drugi-is'srel und money, Hooker on the Willamette Congressman Hooker was given a fine receptiop at Salem and taken down the Willamette to Portland. The States man remarks : Congressman Hooker said, during the trip down the river, that the people ot the Willamette val'ey do not realize fully the importance of this stream to their future welfare. He said such a river in some parts of the east would be sworn by and valued more highly than Oregonians seem to value the Willamette. . it would not be surprising u several hundred thousand dollars from the gen eral government tor the improving and opening of the Willamette river to navi gation were the eventual -result of the trip yesterday. It is rumored that Mr. Tongue contemplates introducing a hill for the condemnation of the locks at Or egon City which would make them tree, thus saving to the Willamette valley 50 cents on every ton of freight and 10 cents cn every passenger taken through those big gates. It Arrived. The eagerly looked for Portland arrived from St. Michaels Sat urday evening and put in at Port An Reles. Instead of $3,000,000 in gold dust, or $2,000,000, or even $825,000 as one re ported, there was about $400,000 on board and probably not that much when it ge.s to the mint. Instead of 170 miners aa reported there were thirteen. They reported most of their wealth back in their claims By the way there baa been a great deal of Klondike lying and it wont do to believe everything until you see a sample. For Skagcy.

This is the initial through consignment from this locality and will be followed by others so long as navigation remains open at the point of destination. Four thousand cigars jiade at Rose Bros' factory also forme 1 a part of the shipment. Thus, almost every line of industry on the Pacific slope promises to be stimulated by the Klon dike discoveries.

Frowley, deputy sheriff of Modoc county, California, and K. D. Hager, a prominent cattleman of the same sec tion, arrived in Eugene this af'ernoon and placed Frank Meredith in the cus tody of Sheriff Johnson, of this county, for safe keeping, with the charge of stealing cattle booked against him. A Guard reporter met Mr. Frowlov shortly after their arrival and gleaned the following facts incidental to the af fair. For two or three years there has been a good deal of thieving uone there and a few weeks ago Mr. Hagcr discov ered that some of his cattle wt re missing Getting wind of the fact that one Cal Cornell and Frank Meredith were head ed out of the country with U2 hewl of cattle, these two gentlemen immediately started ill pursuit. The men and cattle were traced to the Klamath country and an Indian policeman was added to the pursuing party at that point to act as a guide. On arriving at the Deschutes they found Meredith with the band of cattle and alone. He immediately surrender ed, and stated that his partner had gor.e on to Eugene for supplies. They pushed on to the Kigdon place, at Pine Opening and there awaited the return of Cornell. On his return he was met with the com mand "hands up." He put them up. but noticing Frowley gave the command said, "you have no right to arrest me in this state," and ouickly wheeling his horse made a break for liberty. Messrs Frowley and Hager and the Indian po liceman fired on him with the imea'.lon of "winging' him, but instead brought down the horse. One shot passed through the pommel of the saddle, miss ing the man about three Inches. The other shots took effect, one in the horses neck and the other in his stomach. Cornell managed to elude further at tempts at capture, and getting to the bruph.made good his escape, in aa dar ing a way as any bandit of old. None of the cattle in the raptured band proved to belonn to Mr. Hager. Meredith was willing to go back with-: out a requisition, but sheriff F.-owley preferred to have everything straight. I". S.

Saturday, at the Dalles, Geo. A . Dar sey and Edward W. Allen, claiming to he representatives of the Field Columbia Museum of Chicago, weie arrested on the charge of robbing the Indian graves on Memaleuso island, in tbe Columbia river, near that place. At their trial they set up the plea that they were work ing solely in the interest ot science. This brought about their -elease and the 60 Indian skulls and other relics of tho hurrying ground in their possession were returned to the sacred resting place of the Indian dead . j It ia stated that Ind;an skulls com msnd a price ol tlO each in Eastern, I museums, hence the 82 which these gen- tlemen gathered np represented a cash value of This would lead one to believe, says Tbe Dalles Times-Mountaineer, that these innocent 'professors' had some other motive in viw than that ol collecting relics for scientific purposes.
