An old gentleman living at the foot of the butte, told Harnett, that on the even ing ol July 8 or 9, two horsemen ac companied by a pack horse, reached his place, and asked permission to sleep lu his hay, and the permission was grauted. Instead, however, and without any apparent reason, they took their blaukets aud went out la the sagebrush to sleep. The next morning when the old gentleman arose his guests bad departed. Later on the old gentleman heard of tho murder of Llun, aud in telling of the Incident to Harnett, expressed the opinion that the two horsemen were Claude Branton and hU brother Clar ence As the officers here have received In formation from A II Cobb, who came across Saturday, that Clarence Branton Is still packing supplies for eheepnerd- era just across the summit, this fctory is not credited.

It will take about 20 men some six or eight weeks to clean up, as there are thiee or four acres of bedrock logo over carefully besides the sluices, lu order that all the gold may be securtd, For Conmcmal Connection 'aws ami mm A Representative Suits Eugene Pally Uuard, Jul? 19 lt week the Guard copied an ar ticle from the Gazette of Corvallls, stating Hint a proposition was ou foot to build an electric line from that city to Eugene. Yesterday F'red Rhimhnrt, of Cor vallls, representing the capitalists who suggested the feasibility of the road, came up to Eugene to look over the field and confer with our business men. Without exception he found that all appreciate the possibilities of a line of transportation through this territory, and that they stand ready to further the project. Mr Rlumhart visited Springfield this morulug for the purpose of Inspect ing tho water power at that pluce and was more than satisfied with the result of his visit. He found that at least 200 horse power could be secured there, aud more if necessary, giving s.-u ranee of the "juice" force needed to opeiate the road. In addition to thla water power can bo scouted at Eugene aud Monroe, Mr Ulumhart Is not yet fully advised as to the Intention of the capitalists who have the Investment lu view. He Is simply feeling the pulse ot the bust nous communities Interested and will leport the result of his Interviews to them together with statistics such as be Is able to gn'her. A roturu letter from them will mora fully advise him of their luteutious aud he can then act with better knowledge of their desires. The capitalists viewing the matter are from Philadelphia, one of them be lug a brother lu-law of Mr Rlumhart, and in 1803, considered the matter at pre cut in hand, but the death of one of their number, aud the stagnating ef fects of the "hard times" forced the pioposltlon fiom their further consid eration. The prospecla of a revival of busluess on the Pacltio coast, now give Ibem an Impetus to again urge the matter forward. As Mr Rlumhart understands the Intentions of the men, It Is to run a Hue from Corvallls to Monroe, and from there to either Smltbfleld or El in I ru, thence direct to Eugene, and probably Springfield. lu the line for extension would be a branch from El- mlra to Lorano, Eugene to Coburg. and a local Hue In Eugene, golug as fur as Merlau's park or to Irving. President F M Wilkin or tho Eu geue board of trade, ha the matter lu baud, and will call a meeting torn time this week to secure a general opin ion from business men and shippers. Tho Importance of the road should so Impress Itself upon the community that a large attendance will result. It Is predicted that when the com pany is In position t talk busluess they will flud Eugene and her people ready to lend every assistance to the enterprise. RBYA.VS REGIMENT. Started From Omaha Last Mght For the War. Omaha, July 18: It was long after 7 o'clock tonight when the last train bearing Col. W J Bryan and hi reg iment, the Third Nebraska volunteers, pulled away from the swlch near Fort Omaha. The cars were not provided ou time, and there was still further delay In getting the supplies and equip ments on board. Jt had been widely advertised that the soldiers would start at 3 o'clock In the afternoon, and when that hour arrived a crowd had gather ed In the vicinity ol the fort. The wait In the hot sun proved too much for all but a few of the most enthusias tic, however, and when the troop train finally cot away tonight, there were but a few pcrsous to bid them God speed. Though Colonel Bryan waa sorely tried by the unexpected delay, be went away to war quietly and order ly, and very much as If he had been fighting all his life.
