AND RIVER
The steamship Roanoke docked at
the Callender pier yesterday after
noon at 3:30 o'clock, and left out (or
California two hours later. She took
from this port the following passen
gers: Commissioner Fred Moore and
family, and G. B. Weiss for Eureka.
Mr. Moore and familly go on to the
other end of the Golden State.
The steamer St. Helen's, lumber
laden for the Bay City, arrived down
yesterday afternoon, and went to the
lower harbor; but it is not known
whether she went over the bar or not
but the presumption is that she did
not, as that barrier was on its ugliest
behavior all of yesterday.
The Callender Navigation Com
pany's flagship has been turned over
to her owners with her new boiler
and other repairs and is now in com
mission again, making fairly satis
factory trial run yesterday afternoon
after almost eight months of idleness.
The French bark Eugene Schnei
der has arrived down the river and
will load out square timbers from the
Hammond Lumber Company's docks,
for European delivery.
The German ship Oregon was
hauled to the lower harbor yesterday
to be in readiness for quick dispatch
as soon as the bar subsides. She
goes to the United Kingdom with
wheat, for orders.
The British steamship Tymeric en
tered this port yesterday morning
from Union Bay, B. C, and went on
to the metropolis, where she will load
lumber, and finish at this port, for
Australian delivery.

The Elmore motor schooner Ger
ald C, did not leave port yesterday
for the Sileti, as was expected, and
will probably get away today if the
bar is passable. The steamer Sue H.
Elmore, for Tillamook, is in the same
fix, and has a full passenger list of 26
awaiting her departure for that coun
try.
The Hammond liner Geo. W. Fen
wick, with an immense load of lum
ber for Southern California, went
below yesterday morning, but was
deterred from going to sea on ac
count of the turbulent bar. She
came back.
The handsome lighthouse tender
jlommDine is coaung snip prepara
tory to her departure for the Coos
waters to deliver supplies and stores.
She will probably get away on Sun
day, as will most of the other bar
bounds. The French bark Rochambean ar
rived down yesterday on the hawsers
of the steamer Ocklabama, and will
depart for Europe with her big cargo
of wheat at the first practicable mo
ment
The steamer Stanley Dollar should
arrive down today or tomorrow from

The steamer Lurline was down in
good season yesterday and went away
at 7 o'clock with plenty of business
on both decks.
The regular Coos ' liner Alliance
will be down from Portland tomor
row morning on her way to Marsh

Callender dock at an early hour.
The steamer Argo is being fitted

GIRL SHOOTS DOCTOR

man whom she evidently believes
ronued her datiRhter and later play
ed some part in the tragic death of
the young girl, but yet she played
her nart as if it had been often calm'
ly rehearsed in her thoughts and that
she missed civins him death can
probably only be ascribed to the fact
that, woman-like, she was not fa
miliar with the handting of weapons.
Four times she fired point blank, and
yet struck him only twice.
The shooting yesterday adds an
other tranic chapter to a case that
already was full to overflowing with
sin and tragedy, and with the misery
of a mother who had seen her belov
ed dauithted die in shame, betrayed
by some one. The memory of the
death of the young girl is still vivid
in the minds of nearly every one in
this city. Dr. Peacock was arrested
at the time on a charge of having
performed a criminal operation that
brought on her death, and while he
and his friends strenuously denied
that he had any part in bringing
about the death of the young girl,
nevertheless it is perhaps apparent
that the mother believed the physic
ian to have been the man who wrong
ed her daughter.
When Dr. Teacock was brought to
this city last evening, on the launch
Adelaine, he was conscious. A mes
sage had been sent into the city
from Clifton at the instance of the
wounded physician, asking that Dr.
Henderson secure a lannch and come
up the river to meet him, and anoth
er message asking that Dr. Reames
be ready at the hospital. Dr. Hack
ling of Cathlamet accompanied him
all the way, and also lent his services
at the hospital. Dr. Henderson found
that one ball had struck in the back
at the lower point of the shoulder
bone, and apparently had gone
straight in. It was discovered just
beneath the skin on the left side of
the chest and removed without dif-
fiulty, the wounded man not taking
any anesthetic during the operation.
Dr. Peacock had thought he was
struck once, but at the hospital the
ssurgeons found taht another bullet
had struck his left elbow. This bul
let had evidently struck the elbow at
the Instant Dr. Peacock was falling,
and had thrown op his left arm to
steady himself, for as the ball enter
ed the elbow it ranged downward
along the upraised arm and passed
over the shoulder, coming near the
srface between the neck and top of
the shoulder. It also was cut out with-

Last night the three physicians, Dr.
Henderson, Dr. Reames and Dr.
Uacklimr. aisrecd in pronouncing Dr.
Peacock to be In a dangerous condi
tion, though with a chance of pulling
through. "
According to Dr. Hackling and
George Jackson, and a Mr, Martin,
all of whom came down on the launch
last night, the story of the shooting
was a simple one.
Dr. Peacock had gone to the post-
office just after the departure of the
mail boat and received his mail and
a moment later he stepped into Cap
tain Ingram's store. He stood near
the doorwav of the store rending a
letter, when suddenly Mrs. Longtaine
stepped up behind the unsuspecting
man. Without a word she pulled
forth a revolver, with double action
trigger, and fired four times with
irreat raoidity. So close was she to
her victim that his hair was slightly
sinned with the powder, and one oi
his cheeks was touched with powder
marks..
The wounded man staggered and
began to slowly fall to the floor, but
he was caught tn the arms of one oi
the bystanders. Mrs. Longtaine
made no commotion or outcry, and
neither did she make jmy effort to
escape. Knowing that she could be
found when wanted in the little
community, no effort was made to
apprehend her at first, and as the
sheriff was out of the city a deputy
was sent for.
When the launch with the wounded
man left for Astoria she was still at
liberty but presumably was arrested
soon after. At once the tragedy
caused great excitement in the little
citv. It has come as a great surprise,
though that there had been threats of
some such shooting Was known to
Dr. Peacock, and one complaint had
been made that the husband of Mrs.
Longtaine had threatened the physi
cian with deatn. mat was sumo
weeks ago, and recently nothing had
been heard of the matter. Dr. Pea
cock was to have been tried at the
February term of the Cathlamet
court While at the hospital last
niirht the wounded man showed great
fortitude during the operation of re
moving the bullets and said no word
of reproach against the woman who
had sought to kill him. His wife re
mained at the hospital with him
during the night, refusing to leave
for an instant.
Few cases have attracted more at
tention in this section in recent years
than the Madelatne Longtaine epi
sode. The girl was young, of comely
aDnearance. and it was her fate to
die at the age of 17 years with her
name enshrouded in what the world
sometimes call shame. She may have
been an innocent girl who had been
basely betrayed. That was what her
friends and relatives very evidently
believed. But on the other hand
while it was presumably evidently
that her death had resulted from a
criminal operation it should not be
forcrottcn that many of those who
were most familiar with the whole
matter, vet were firm in their ex
pressed belief that Dr. Peacock was
not the aruilty man: perhaps there are
very few if any who know the whole
truth of the sad matter, and though
the girl lies dead in her grave with
many to mourn her untimely passing
atoay, perhaps it should not be for
gotten that the wounded, and perhaps
dying man now at St. Mary's hospi
tal, has denied his guilt with dignity
and, in the minds of some, with great
force.
Mrs. Longtaine is a small woman,
worn by toil, and apparently a wom
an who has suffered and worried
much. She is verging on old age.
She was born in France, while her
husband was born in Canada. Wheth
er her mind has been affected by
brooding over the lamentable death
of her daughter is not known. Some
conjectured last night that she had
feared her husband would attempt to
take the law in his own hands; or
that she feared from rumors that a
conviction of the physician on the
charge brought against him seemed
unlikely, and therefore acted on her
own initiative. Wherever lies the
real guilt of the terrible fate of the
young girl, there is no question of
the wide an3 deep sympathy that has
been felt for the mother and her dead
daughter.

RIFLES TO FIRE BOMBS.
Pekin was fortified; the Boxers held
thebaic. Outside the walls of the
city the allied legions clamored for
admission, knowing that, within, the
members of the foreign legation, for
tified, in their turn, against the Chin
ese, were waiting with breathless anx
iety the arrival of the friendly armies.
But the gates could not be rushed.
Suddenly, three or four soldiers, in
the Japanese uniform, dashed forward
up to the gates.
A shower of bullets greeted them.
The hand grenades which they had
hurled against the gates had exploded,
battering them down.
Pekin had fallen.
Very recently at Faversham. Eng
land, the representatives ! of eleven
governments watched the testing of
a new grenade invented by an F.nglinh
man, Mr. Marten Hale.
With this weapon, as demonstra
tions satisfactorily proved, the sacri
fice of the lives of those heroic Japs
before Pekin would have been wholly
unnecessary.
Mr. Hale's grenade may be fired
from a rifle. These advantages are
therefore secured:, power, distance
and range, and safety for the uer. It
is adaptable to the service rifle of the
various nations, and is propelled with
ordinary cartridges.
It may be fired from the shoulder
or with the butt end of the rifle rest
inc on the eround. The fire of the
grenade does not in any way injure
nor does it interfere with firing ball
cartridges, nor in the use of the bayo
net. It is capable of scattering twenty-four
rectangular pieces with steel
with jagged edges in all directions
with great velocity. The concussion
of the explosion would kill or stun
any life within a wide radius. The
grenades themselves weigh one pound
six ounces, and six or eight may be
carried on a waist belt without any
inconvenience. The Japanese' made
good use of the hand grenades before
