DROWNED IN THE MALHEUR.
A sau event occurred on
(ho
! Mnlhcun river about twenty miles
Valo last Saturday, in
the
his
who
brought tho dead boy'a remains
over to tho homo of his relatives,
we learn the particulars, which
were as follows:
Tho Pacific Livo Stock Co., by
which tho boys were employed
were that day moving camp nnd
holding a band of beef cattle, nnd
coining (o tho river where there
was a deep pool below a ledge of
rocks, Mcador and one of tho oth
er boys concluded to give their
horecs a swim. Thoy nnd swam
across several times, and the last
trip thoy made tho horeo which
young Mcador was riding failed
to keep Ins hpail abovo the water,
nd was sinking. In order to
( id tho lioreu he nulled on the
reins, which throw the horse olf
his equilibrium and he threw his
head out of tho water, striking
hie ridur in the face with such
force as to stun him, when ho fell
off tho horse and sank beneath
tho cruel waves.
Kflbrts to rescue him were of
courso immediately begun, but,
strange to say he nevor rose to
the surface. Signal fires were '
I built upon tho river bank and
soon tho party was roinlorced hy
Mr. MeKinney, the foreman, anil
Hoveral other of tho boys. From
tho time the accident occurred
about ten o'clock until five that
evening, divers worked to obtain
tho body, and tho river was drag
ged without avail. At Inst a
raft was made of logs and a wag
on box, and upon this a party
went out, and with the aid of a
hook mado from a brako rod suc
ceeded in locating the body. By
main strength it was pulled to
tho surface, when tho mystery of
its remaining beneath tho water
wbh explained. One of his spurs
hod caught in Bomo driftwood or
a crevice in tho rock on the bot
tom of tho river and hung thcro,
and when tho body was finally
located and pulled to the surface
tho spur which had hold it down
was pulled off his foot.
A justice of tho JVjaco or coro
ner not being obtainable, no reg
ular inquest was held, but Mr.
MeKinney took tho testimony of
tho boys who witnessed tho ca
tastrophe and reduced it to writ
ing, then immediately Btartcd a
party with his remains to Prairie
City. After traveling almost day
and night thoy reached there
Monday forenoon, where an in
quest wns held by Jas. Sullons,
justice of tho pence, the verdict
being in accordance with thu facts
recorded in tlio foregoing.
All praise is duo Mr. MeKin
ney, foreman of the LV Co., for
tho numerous acts of kindness,
and for tho humane courso ho
took in bringing thu remains of
the poor boy to his relatives.
Whilo thoy deeply feel the blow
and deplore thu loss of their lov

from tlio fact that hu was proper

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Aug 1, '89,
Kn. Grant Co. Kkwb:-
Tho appointment by Secretary
Noble of a commission of three
to inquire into tho conduct of tho
Pension llureau daring tho last
year, confirms what 1 wroto you
Just after Commissioner Tanner's
appointment of tho bitter elm :
between himself and the Sec reta
ry. Tho principal objection urg
ed ujion the President against
tho Corporal's npointment was
that ho would bo "too liberal."
It appears now, however, that ho
had developed a a great talent
for simple blundering. When
ho apjiointed George 11. Squires
who was removed in disgrace at
tho end of eight weeks his pri
vate secretary, ho followed the
error by tho scarcely better mis
take of appointing his daughter,
an inexperienced school girl, his
private secretary. Another jier
sonal appointment of his was
Unit of Harry Phillips, a Brook
lyn man, as chief of a division.
Phillips' appointment was ob
jected to hy fSeorotary Noblo on
tho ground that he seemed with
out endorsers except the Com
missioner himself. At last the
nppoiutmcnt was made and
charged to tlio Commissioner.
That is only a little over two
months ago, and Phillips is al
ready implicated in tho re-rating
frauds that .Secretary Noble's
bommission is investigating. Tho
re-rating frauds that are the
principal subject of the present
investigation are among the most
daring swindles ever perpotrnted.
About a dozen pension ollico
clerks that have been drawing
pensions for years got together
lor mutual benefit, and agreed to
apply for re-rating from tho dato
of discharge; The combitiu in
vited prominont Grand Army
men to. join them, but for some
eason, only reached a half dozen
men and thoy were in govern
ment employ.
Uo-rating is autorized by law
only "when manifest error" is
found to hnvo occurred, These
men were old and experienced
clerks in the pension bureau, and
had never botoro discovered that
there was any error, under tho
law, in their rntings. Still by
tho combination, and by literally
prcesing in tho merits of each
others claims, this combination
managed, every man of it to se
cure from $2,500 to $-1,000 ach.
No claim was rejected and while
in several instances, six mouths
or a year passes before claims aro
reached .tor consideration nfler
they aro filed in tho pension bu
reau, these claims were all rush
ed through in two weeks from
tho timonhey wore filed. Tho
champagne-suppers of tho victors
could not be kept xuiet, and tho
press soon got possession of the
facts. The exyoauro followed.
For some reason Commissioner
Tanner paid no attention to the
matter, and it remained for tin
Secretary to recognize the Beau
(hi I by discharging three uiviii
hers of the medieul branch of the
bureau, and hy the appoiutitnm
of this coiuniisifion. Noi.odydaro
accuse Commissioner Tanner oi
dishonesty, or of a guilty knowl
edge of these frauds, Mit his op
position to tho apK)intmunt of
of the commission places him in
a most unfortunate light. The
Secretary is also damaged in the
opinion of many by tho breach
between him and tho commis
sioner. Some look tiou it as an
attempt to restrict the liberal
policy toward the soldiers. Such
is .tho, substance of Gov. Kora
kor's dispatch to Corporal Tan
ner this week. The newspapers
who (lore talk aro full of the mat
ter; only a few over-zealous re
publican papers of tho musty or
der failing to recognize the im
portance of the trouble, Tho
census work is shaping itself and
Mr. Porter's desire to have tho"
work limited to what is leg'ti
matcly included in the bill to
provide for the work becomes ev
ident. In many branches tho
experts have already begun work.
The most difficult schedule to ar
range appears to qo that of man
ufacturers. A table of this sub
ject will bo presented to Superin
tendent Portor next week, and by
him will bo submitted to various
free trade authorities, as well as
to manufacturers with prolccthT
tendencies, Tho other divisions
wili shortly present their definite
planB for work, and by October
progress may bo expected.
Tho secret service, that branch
of the government that the small
boy who faithfully reads his
bloody bones nickel novels, is
given to admiring, is about to
have a now chief. It is probablo
that tho new man will bo Thom
as Furlong, a Kt- Louis railroad
detective. Hussell Harrison is
