There seems to be a good deal of
doubt at to whether Xordica will sing
In Portland after all. There tins been
an effort made to secure her epiiearance
there and rvalue aud lacnma claim
to have already arranged for tier. A
bit nf professional Jealousy is given as
the reason why Xordica is singing In
concert this this winter Instead of
taking her usual place lu the gallaxy
of stars that glorifies grand opera In
America. And of course it la Calve
who is at the bottom of the trouble; It
always is Calve, the passionate queen
of song, Calve who will have her own
way In all tilings, Calve whose storms
of temper no manager can withstand
and whom magnillclent voice Is sup
plemented by a dramatic power sel

Xordica, Fmina Euiiies, Meiba and

"Triumph of Lots."
Dal It Guard, December 1 .
This bright and sparkling operetta
was preaented!to a packed bouse by am
aleurs;iiist night. Almost for the first
time In the history of the opera house
every teat was disposed ol In the ad
vance sales, and many who delayed
until the last to purchase tickets were
competed to remain away. Ho phen
omenal was the success of this mlna
lure opera that It will lie ptoduced
again next Friday night for the bene
fit of those who could not see It last
night. The composition of the plot
of "Triumph of Love" Is the work of
Mrs L Neumayer, who has reserved
the copyright aud places the produc
tion before tht public herself. She has
managed several hundred perform
ances herself of her operetta. Tho
musio Is selected and appropriate.
There are In all 100 performers, who
acquitted themselves admirably well
last night. The downfall of mortal
man who was drsgged to the very
lowest depths of perdition by the Imps
and dtvils of vloe only to be tenderly
lifted again to tho sphere ol purity aud
goodness by the fulrles and goddesses
of love, mercy, hope, repeated again
and again, brought tho moral of the
story most vividly to the mind. It
was full of rich gems.brlght and spark
ling throughout, containing only that
which Is sugesilve of purity and good
ness. The csitunies were rare and
beautiful, and the glimpses Into the
Infernal regions and again Into fairy
land Inspired the audience with new
Ideas and clear conceptions of those
places. The performers all did splend
idly. There wero many who sleserve
special mention, but the large number
of performers aud the limited space In
this column will not permit of Indi
vidual mention.

The San Frsncisco Examiner of Nov,
27 contains a long sketch of the life of
Hank Vaughn, most fatuous of Ore
gon's bad men, and a native of this
valley and of this county. He was
born in IMS. His life was full of ad
ventures. Ho agreed to Join the army
wltli tils rather, ana got the old gentle
men to qualify llrst, then ho refused
His famous ll-ht w lien 17 years of age
nun Mienti .Muiuiock ol rendietou
and his deputy, In which the latter
was killed, Is well known. He spent
elglityeaisa Salem, being pardoned
on a pennon tigne.l by Mlierlil Mud
dock, who afterwards died from the
cited s of wounds received lu the fight
witn auglin.
The inoel thrilling- event In his life
oceurrd at l'rliievillo, and Is graph!
callv told by the writer st follows:
The great eplsodo In Vaughn's lifo
bapMsiied in l rineville, i rook county
where bad people did sometimee con
gregate, and wlteru lie met Charley
i.ong. t nariey l.otig; was a pad man
Itisi as bad a man as Vaughn and
each one was srral.l that the public at
largo would think that the other
was worse than he was). Vaughn had
always boasted that when lie met
Long he would cnupsjl hlmtotukea
drink with lilm. Ho, oneeveulng they
were all gathered In the principal
saloon of the town, and Vaughn In
vited all hands to drink. Ing did
not so much as turn his head, aud,
seeing It, Vaughn silently aoccptod It
as a challenge to fight. Not a word
pasted ltween theru. Each man
understood that Long's silence and re
fusal meant light, ami tight to death,
so long as either of them could handle
a guu or draw a bead. Yes four words
did pass lietweun litem. aughn
pulled out his handkerchief aud huld
it forward, aud said. "Take hold f
this." Long grasped. It and Instantly
nut was whipped Iwo revolvers and the
tiring began, isu one) in tne saloon
pretended to Interfere. Any one otter
ing to do that would have been shot
dowu as quickly by the crowd as by
the principals In the tragedy which
was being enacted. It was nut a few
seconds before Vaughn mid Long both
dropped to the 11. sir, each one almost
mortally wounded. Hut each had
still a little strength left aud they con
tinued to tire until tneir pistols were
empty.
The men lay at the. point of dsath
for many weeks. During this lime
the Walla Walla "Statesman" con
tained an artics In which the editor,
now Deputy United Hlates Marshal
I'arker, expressed ins opinion mat it
would a better for the community at
laige if Vaughn was to die from the
e fleets of his wounds. This called for
attention from the bad man, and as
soon as Vaughn bad regained his
strength hn went oor to Walla Walla,
accompaiued by Hugh I toby, his step
son, and made an assault witn a pistol
on Editor Frank Parker. Parker and
his printers proceeded to throw
Vaughn and Roby out of the ollloe,
and Vaughn was bound over to keep
the peace, which lie kept about two
hours.. Perhaps ho thought that
lawvera would he easier game, At
any rate, he went up to the law office
of Messrs Cox eV Minor, gentlemen
who are now eminent attorneys lu
Portland, but who were then practic
ing lu Pendleton. He was aecom-
? allied on bis trip by Hie same Hugh
toby, aud together they oflured to aud
the lives of Messrs Cox & Minor forth
with. These two ynuiiir luwyers were
of good old Virginia sUx-k and afraid
of nothing. Cntitenuently Mr Cox
took charge or Mr Natighu ana Air
Mluor of Mr Roby. and they were
soon both obeying the laws of gravita
tion when they lilt the aidewalK be
low the ofllce.
Onsnluht In a saloon In Pendluton,
the writer saw Vaughn ataiidlngon a
billiard tabls facing a crowd of fifty
men In which were two or three dep.
uty sheriffs, iwo policemen and two
constables, all armed. There had beeti
a succession of eight or ten fights that
ulirht. and Vaughn Hail personally
superintended all of them, carrying
bla revolver In tils hand una prevent
ing Interference on the part of any
onw.
There Is a story poorly authenticated
which says that Just after being takeu
to the Transfer Hotiao ho requested
that his boots be pulled off, giving as a
reason that his fa tin r had always said
he would die with hit boots ou, and hs
wanted to fool the old gentleman.
Just before his death there) came Into
his room, a tall handsome woman,
stylishly dressed and greatly agitated.
