Owens, who formerly worked in the Aphlaud mine, but who lateiy has been keeping a saloon at Hornbrook, is dead as the result of wounds inflicted by Wm. Ennis, with a revolver, last Fri day, in the Siskiyou county town. The killing seems to have been wanton ana unprovoked. Funis, who will now he charred with murder, formcily ran a saloon at Klamathon ; was burned out at the time of the big fire at that town and then moved to Hornbrook where he etartei again in the Fame business. His saloon was above the town and lo cated on the bank very close to thb bed of the creek. The high water, caused by the storm of last week, carried his building and stock of goods down in the flood, and Ennis immediately proceeded to drown his troubles in drink. He and the murdered man had been friends, but in his maudlin condition, the former imagined that C wen had expressed sat isfaction at the work of the flood in car- rvinff awav his property. He went to Owens' place and engaged in a quarrel with him at once. The latter told him if he would put away his gun he would fight him, and both men, it is said, palled off their coats. Ennis, however. retained possession of his gun. The men closed in and Owen had Ennis down, when the latter began shooting. Owens resided at Gold Hill for about ten vears, mining and keeping a hotel and was liked bv everv one. He mar ried Miss Lucy Wyatt of Sams Valley, nd thev have one child. His aire was about So years.

The recent flood nearly cost two Oklahoma men not ac quainted willi the turbulent waters of the I'mpqna their lives. These men Mr. Rirdine and Mr. Wilson attempted to cross the rmpqua in a small skiff near this place. The swift current carried them some 200 yards from where they started dow n the stream, when the boat was capsized near the middle of the river. They both sneeecdel in getting hold of a small alder tree, w here they hel 1 on for four hours with their heads barely alwve the cold, swift ami rapidly rising water. They were finally rescue! from their perilous position by Frank Fate, Ruftis McKinney, Claude McCulley and Frank Tripp, not however until the four men were almost entirely exhausted in their untiring efforts with boats and ropes to get the . two helpless men to Ehore. They were not reworded for their efforts till 8 o'clock at niirht. when the rescue was finally aecoinplir-hed. Series of Deaths. V 8 t C Bring Us Your ... CHICKENS. EGGS. BUTTER. Eugene, Feb. 2.

The hrst step in the reorganization of the National Guard of the state, made necessary by the passage of the Pick bill in congress, w as taken on Saturday w hen Brigadier Gen eral Charles F.

Allies insist on Separate Treatment of Claims, and Will Continue the Blockade. Lo.snov, Feb. 3. Reuter's Telegram Company savs that it is officially in formed that the altitude of the allies regarding the uncalled priority claims against Venezuela has been misinter preted, thus increasing the complica tions. It is explained that thi allies do not insist on the ptecedence of their claims over others, hut insist that they shall be regarded an separate, to Ik: dealt with direct lx-iween themselves and Venezuela. Until a specific arrange ment is made for tlm satisfaction of their claims they are determined to con tinue the blockade. It is further stated that the alliej do not bind Venezuela regarding the sum to Ih; periodically paid or the time in which the debt must be pal 1 on. It is added that Ihirf is renewed evidence that Venezuela is endeavoring to complicate matters by playing off the interests of one pocrcr against another, and that such a course must be frustrated in the interests of all the creditors. They con sequently hope that Venezuela's at tempts in this direction "will not re ceive support or connivance from any quarter." Southern Oregon's Candidate.
