thrown in

. as was occasioned bv the killinir
j on evening oi juiv in, anti
i their subsequent escape fromeon
! finement, and recapture.
As was his custom, Mr. Lock-
wood went to the jail about .):.'()
in the evening to sec that every
thing was all right. Residents
of the vicinity of the Court house
heard two shots fired shortly af
ter that hour, in rather rapid
succession, which attracted no
attention at the time, but which
afterward proved to be so full of
import. Becoming alarmed at
his prolonged absence from home
his wife made nu mines, and
w,i inetitnt...! 1 n J mM;,., J
door was found unlocked, and
then the horrible truth flashed
upon the searchers. A light was
procured, and they entered the
jail corridor, the door of which
was ajar. There they met the
object of their search, lying in
the doorway to the iron cell, cold
in death, with a ghastly wound
in the back of his head, and the
two prisoners to whom he had al
ways been so kind and attentive
were nowhere to be found.
This was near one o'clock in
the morning, and after earing for
the remains of the deceased the
citizens were aroused and search
ing parties sent in every direction
after the escaped prisoners.
Upon the convening of the Coun
ty court in the morning a reward
of $5UU each was offered for the
capture and return of the pris
oners, and Sheriff Cray offered a
reward of $2i) each, making in
all, 1 ,.")U!J. Towards evening
Joe Combs came to town after
reinforcements, reporting that
McCiinnis was hiding in the
brush near Alex Fisher's ranch
down the river. Every man and
11, 1 a . niiiiv 'it
boy in town who could procure a
tgun joined the partv, and about .
r(0 or 70 persons repaired to the J
scene of action, arriving there
shortly after dark. Fishers
family were in communication
with the culprit, having given
him breakfast that morning, and
were cooking something for him
to take with him as soon as night
should fall. Upon being prom
ised a sum of money they divulg
ed his hiding place, and in com
pany with Joe Ivey, Hank Wor
kins and Mil Whit persuaded
McCiinnis to come out of his
hiding place, when he was taken
into custody. Hank loaded the
prisoner on his buckboard, and
passing the guard at the bridge,
with his team on, the run, came
to town and delivered him to the
the sheriff.
A party went in search of the
Indian, also, and as they had
supposed, he took a course direct
for the Indian camps in the
Malheur. As an extra precau
tion they had placed guards
around the camp and captured
the arms and cavuses. 'Bucca
roo Jim" was found al out six
miles from Indian John's camp,
about 10 miles from Drewsey.
He was first seen by Joe Prewctt,
and when he discovered that he
was pursued he hoisted a white
flag. There were about six per
sons in this part, and they ar
rived here with him late on Sun
day evening.
MeGinnis had been confined in

knew the other was captured they
told conflicting stories in regard

their escape. Pat Mediums ev

that Lock wood committed sui

Court meets in November, as one
or both of them will make a eon-

of the Peace X. Rulison, but up
to the hour of going to press noth
ing of importance has been ascer
tained, farther than the facts
above stated.
Roleit Lockwvod had acted in
the capacity of deputy sheriff of
(5 rant county for eight years, and
prided himself upon his record as
an Officer. It was rather a sin
gular fact that after that long a
time he should meet death in the
very last hours of his service in
that capacity Mr. Cray had
taken charge of the office that
very day, but retained Mr. Lock
wood until the day following.

The Fourth passed off very
quietly; there was not a drunken
man in tow n.
Senator Himilton and wife
came up from Hamilton to at
tend the picnic.
The ''Plug Uglies,'' under com
mand of C. F. Gott", made quite a
creditable appearance.
Mr. and Mrs. Cresswell, also
Mrs. Cary passed the Fourth
with their mother, Mrs. Mack
well and attended the celebration.
Mrs. Rovndorf came very near
meeting with a serious accident
while out horseback riding at a
rather fast gait. The horse
stumbled and fell throwing her
and the three 'ear old little girl j
which shefhad in her arms to the
ground. TIkv were both badlv
bruised but otherwise escaped
serious injury.
Quite a crowd went from here
to Hamilton on the th to attend
the races. One of the boys stole
somebody else's girl and took her
along. When the other fellow
found out his girl had left him
and. instead of being in bed rest
ing after the dance, had gone to j
tlie races wan a oetter looKing
man, he was not mad. Oh, no!
He was only raving; anil to cool
himself he just started in and
drank Long Creek whisky until
he did not know whether it was
a girl or a white cayuse that he
wanted.
It is hoped the County Court
will offtr a good big reward for
the apprehension of the murder
ofMr. Lock wood, as the county
will never be called on to pay the
expense of trial for if there are
not men enough in Canyon to
Lynch these devils Long Creek
will help them. Xo Court trial
for such fiends is the verdict here.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATED.
What Was Done, and by
Whom The Ladies' Cor
net Band.
Evergreens and Banners and Picnic
Dinners Furious Fights, and
the Fireworks a Failure.
Our National Independence
I day dawned a perfect day so far
as the weather was concerned,
only it was rather warm, as must
be expected in midsummer.
Everybody felt patriotic, and
Canyon City was made lively by
the appearance of an immense
throng of friends from the neigh
boring country, and it was hoped
the spirit of prejudice and antag
onism which has so long marred
the feeling of sociability between
this and other sections of our
county had been forever laid
aside and been supplanted by a
common depire by all
for harmony oty action in every
measure having for its object the
advancement and enlightenment
of the people of America, and of
Cirant county in particular. The
streets were gaily decorated with
evergreens and the ever glorious
"red, white and bill"," and a
handsome arch stood over the
very gateway to town, bearing
the word "welcome."
The procession, which formed
at the Court house and marched
to the grounds, was one of con
siderable magnitude, ami reflect
ed well to the credit of young
America. Headed by Tiger
Hose Team Xo. 1, the procession
moved off, followed in this order:
1st, the Broom Brigade; 2nd.
The (Jrand Army of the Repub
lic; .d. The Ladies' Cornet Band:
lth. The Libert' Car, containing
Miss Columbia and oS young
ladies; 5th, Old Mother (Joose's
Car, and liersolf and family; 0th,
Citizens and everybody.
Arriving at the grounds, after
music by the band and glee club,
Kev. J. II. Wood was introduced,
and invoked the Divine blessing
on the occasion of our meeting,
and for the prosperity of our na
tion. The Declaration of Inde
pendence was read bv Mr. J. J.
McCulIough. Kev. E. Hayes
was then introduced to the mul
titude, and delivered a concise,
yet very logical oration, not for
getting to mention the fact that
we were celebrating on an histor
ical ground the orchard plant
ed by the world-renowned Joa
quin Miller, to whom Canyon
City gave the first official honor
when she elected him Justice of
the Peace away back in the '150s.
At the conclusion of the address
Miss Mamie Overholt delivered
a recitation, and the glee club
sang America,
free dinner was
alter whicli a
announced for
all who had not come prepared.
A long table had been erected,
and filled, that everyone
might partake without leaving
the hospitable s h a d e
where cooling breezes blow.
After dinner the hours were spent
in sociability until the time ar
rived for the rac:ng, when all re
paired to the most convenient
positions along main street to
witness the different contests,
which had been advertised to
take place. Tley did not come
off in the order intended, how
ever, but were as follows:
Hose race, against time, won
by Hose Team in .'5(5 seconds.
Ilobl le race, free for all, won
by Jas. and Chas. Ferrel.
Foot race, free for all, 100 yds.,
won by John Stevens.
New York race, won by by J.
Stevens aiyl Jos. Fitgerald
m-ule and broke 3 couplings in
8-1 seconds.
So far everything had gone on
pleasantly enough. All the rac
ing had not been carried out ac
cording to ;programme, but the
evening was coming osi, and
people were becoming weary, and
for the sake of the morals of the
community it would have been
well had they all dispersed, but
they desired towitnessthe maneu
vers of "Tiger Ilosr; Team No.
2," represented by the "Brother
hood of (Jrand Moguls."
Down the street came the
Moguls, with all their ludicrous
costumes, and Peter Kuhl's old
dump cart to haul the hose.
Certain bystanders crowded up,
and began to jostle and handle
ihe Moguls pretty roughly, until
forbearance ceased to be a virtue
with them, and some blows were
struck. A general free for all
fight was imminent and Con
stable Todhunter laid aside his
Mogul mask and in the name of
the State of Oregon demanded
peace. This command was not
heeded, and to prevent a general
riot and the probable loss of life
of innocent spectators he severely
clubbed a young man known as
uDocM Jones. To this sad end
came the day's proceedings of the
Fourth of July, 18SS, in Canyon
City, and it is regretted by all
that matters should terminate
thus. Such an affair which is
liablo to occur at any large gath
ering of people IB calculated to
reflect discreditably on tho hospi
'tattty of tfje pecpfe of our town,
because they extended a general
invitation to every one to meet
with us on that day and observe
the natal day.
The display of fireworks in the
evening was almost a failure,
j owing to a series of distressing j
j accidents. Some of them fell
, into the ditch and became wet, :
and an explosion occurred which :
prematurely destroyed another
lot. and seriously burned some of !
the manipulators. In the j
strength of all these adverse cir-!
cumstances only about one half
of the pieces were disnhyed. and
that being only the plainer ones,
! such as rockets, candles, etc.
I Put what enjoyment was lost
in the pyroteeltnical display was
I made up at the ball. Over 70 ;
couples were present, and the
music furnished bv Messrs Ilaz-
eltine, McCoy and Baldwin, and j
Mrs. McCoy, was perfection.
The ball rolled serenely until !
daylight, not a hitch nor a jar to i
mar tlie pleasure of the dicples '
of terpsichore.
The Ladies' Cornet Band of j
Prairie City which discoursed
such excellent music, is under J
the immediate supervision of
Prof. V. D. Baldwin, who has
been their instructor since their
organization a few months ago.
Their playing called forth gener
al applause, and the proficiency
is due in a great measure to the
untiring efforts of Mr. Baldwin,
who organized the first brass
band in (Jrant county Follow
ing is a list of the members of j
the Ladies Cornet Band:
Leader. Clara Mellaley, Kb;
Iniz .Mellaley, 2 Kb; Solo Bb,

In running a race while blind
folded, some one ran over Mrs. i
McCallum, a lady aged over SO j
years, injuring her slightly.
The jumping match did not
take place neither did the sack
race.
Only one wheelbarrow was en
tered for the wheelbarrow race.
