SPECIflli TO THE CHHOHlCIiE THE INDIAN TROUBLES. Reporrd F:grritlngr at I)aly' Ranch 'Proveii to be False Some Slight Skirmishes. JRapip City, S. D. Dec. 19. Reported engagements between troops and Indi ana at Daly's ranch and other poiuts were false. There has been three skir mishes between Col. M. H. Day's com raand of settlers and cowboy s, number ing fifty, men. The last one on Tuesday WjRB a hot one. . The Indians attempted tJ burn the hay stacks at Dalys' ranch htit was driven off by Col. Day and ten nien. There is a band of fifteen hostiles moving westward fifty miles north of here in Butte county. Eighty men of the Ninth cavalry and sixty Cheyenne scouts have been sent after them. A SHERIFF DIES. The Excitement of Hanging a Murderer Probably the Cause. Suerbkook,' Que., Dec. 19. Sheriff Webb died suddenly of heart disease this morning. Excitement attending the execution of Remi Lamontague was probably the cause. The" death of the sheriff delayed the execution but a few 'minutes, arid Lamontague ' was hanged shortly after. In July, 1888, Lamontague went to the house of his brother-in-law, Napoleon Michigan, enticed him to the door and shot him twice, then cut his throat, slashed his body, dragged him back into the house .and . set it on fire. The wouricled man dragged himself from the flames badly scorched, but died after a few weeks. -The murderer's sister, Leda, wife of the victimvH&a ajrestedior com plicity in the crime. It came out at the trial that Leda and her brother had been living in incest. ' She was acquit ted, but her brother was convicted. An Insnrance Company in Trouble. Portland, Or., Dec., 19. In the United States court to-day, in the mat ter of the appointment of a receiver for the Northwest Fire & Marine Insurance Company, on petition of Charles R. Bar nett, a stockholder, and citizens of Ken tucky, came up. The petition was filed December 8th and alleges that the Com pany is insolvent, that the directors have maintained filed statements in regard to its financitl condition for the purpose of deceiving stockholders and the public. The last published statement of the company shows total assets of the com pany to be $264,823.88; liabilities $113, 482.78. Upon this showing the direct ors will probably ask that the petition be set aside and that the company be allowed to continue business. Hearing is now in progress. The company have risks throughout the Northwest esti mated at about nineteen million dollars. The company sustained severe Ipsses at the time of the Seattle, Spokane and Ellensburgh fires. A Small Skirmish. Rapid City, N. D., Dec. 19. Captain Stentons with his troops has just re turned. It is learned that he had a skirmish with a large party of Indians heading for Bad Lands. Shots were ex changed in quite a lively manner for some time, when the Indians escaped to the Bad Lands. Captain Stanton fol lowed them for some time but fearing an ambush he withheld his troops and returned to camp. A Montana Hanging. " Missoula, Mont., Dec. 19, 1890. The greatest hanging which ever took place in the northwest occurred this morning when Lalasee, Pierre, Paul, Antley and Pascale, five Indian murderers, were hanged at the court house here. All died game, Pierre, Paul and Antley smilingly bidding their friends good bye. Twenty minutes after the trap was sprung all were dead. Their necks were broken n Call for Meeting. - All members of the Patrons of Hus bandry, Farmers' Alliance and Knights of labor are requested to attend a meet ing at The Dalles, Tuesday, December 30, at 7 :30 p. m., in the Knights of Pythias hall.

Raging Nearly all Over the East. Coming Toward Oregon and California. New York, Dec. 17. The storm to day seriously interfered with river and harbor business. Small boats were sunk and a number of passenger steamers which were to have sailed to-day were unable to do so. Telegraphic communi ration south and west is seriously inter tered with. A portion of the roof of Daly's theater was blown off this afternoon and one man severely injured. One of the smokestacks on the post- office building was blown down through a glass ceiling over the mailing room, severely injuring several carriers. Numerous accidents, in the way of falling signs, etc., detached by the wind, have been reported, but nfcne of a serious character. A heavy storm is prevailing along the New Jersey coast. At Atlantic City the tide was the highest of the season. At Asbury Park and Long Branch great damage was done. Poughkeepsie reports u heavy storm of snow, hail, sleet and rain along the Hudson all day and to-night. Trains delayed. . The heaviest snowstorm for years is raging at Lock Haven. At Baltimore the wind blew forty miles an hour, accompanied, by rain. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad reports snow ten inches on the Harper's Ferry division. The telegraph service is badly crippled. At Staunton, Virginia, three feet of snow fell. All trains are blockaded. Pittsburg. Dec.17.-The telegraph, tele phone and electric wires are down and business practically suspended. On the railroads no freight trains were running, and the passenger trains that struggled through were late from one to six hours The pecuniary loss resulting from the storm cannot now le estimated, but it will necessarily be very large. This city, being almost the storm cen ter,' has suffered most 1 severely. The monetary' damage is very- great. All branches of trade, especially railroads and street car lines, have practically sus pended, paralyzing business and causing a total stoppage of operations in the oil and stock exchange. Through the breaking of electric light wires, three horses have been killed, two drivers knocked unconscious and a street car filled with frightened passengere set ablaze in a moment. Police switch boards and telephones have been burned out, and as a result the outlying police districts are isolated. Millions of tons of coal are lyfng in the back-water from a dam, and should a rapid thaw ensue, the greatest damage' will be along the rivers. Reports from the country dis- tricts show even greater damage, owing to the lack of facilities for transportation. At Bedford, Pa., two feet of snow is re ported, with a complete blockade of the lumber business along Blue and Laurel Ridge mountains. West Virginia and Eastern Ohio have suffered greatly, and the situation is growing worse. A sudden flood is the greatest calamity now feared. " At 11 o'clock tonight snow is still fall ing and has nearly reached the. two-foot line. A few roofs have been crushed in by the weight of snow. Pailadelphia, Dec. 17. The North east storm last night and to-day was the severest experienced in this locality since the memorable blow of September 1889. Telegraph wires are prostrated in all directions, and only meager reports of the damage is obtained. In 'this city many houses were unroofed and other damage done. Reports from Cape May and other places on the New Jersey coast report great damage done to rail roads, by washouts, Ashvili.e. N. C Dec. 17. A blind ing snow storm prevailed here last night and to-day, and is still raging. Three hundred and fifty delegates representing every section of the South were present at the opening of the Southern inter state immigration convention which began to-day. Kxoxviie, Tenn., Dec. 17. Snow has been falling in this section since yester day. The Norfolk & '.Vestern road is buried in from one to three feet of snow. In Southwest Virginia the - enow lum drifted badly. SI'jOKANK FALLS NATIONAL BANK SUSPENDS. Trouble Brought on by Failure to Real ise on Securities. Spokanxb Faxxs, Dec. 17. The doors of the Spokane National Bank, one of the largest institutions in the city, were not opened this morning. For nearly a year it has been known among bankers that the back was in financial straits,and more than or.ee other banks have helped W. II. Taylor, president,, and Warren Hussey, cashier, notiiied the "various bunking houses of this city of their disr tress and asked for assistance. The offi cers of the other banks called a meeting that eveningj at which Messrs. Hussey and Taylor were invited to be present and make a showing of the affairs of their bank. The session was a late one. The bankers adjourned with an understand ing that the bank could not open Tues day morning ' without . assistx'Uyc, and that such assistance should be tendered for Tuesday or until a full investigation of its affairs could be made. The show ing made at the meeting was not borne out by the investigation that was made yesterday. At all events, the sum of $00,000 was raised by the other banks to tide over the affair of the Spokane Na tional until the books could be examined. Last evening another important confer ence was held, when . it was developed that $53,000 of the $(50,000 was paid out yesterday and that immediate obliga tions might be presented at any time for 300,000, instead of $90,000, as at first understood. It then became apparent to the bankers composing the conference that the bank would have to suspend. A conference was held in the office of the Citizens' National bank and adjourned at a late hour this morning The diffi culty was precipitated by the failure of three branches in the Coeur d'Alene mining district; namely : The bank of -Wardner, and the Iwnk of Murray, all of which is said to have been brought about by a failure to realize on securities held by the bank for advances made for the development of various mining proper ties ; The bank was a United States depository, but the government with drew its deposits about two weeks ago. " Cashier Hussey, who failed heavily years ago in Denver and Salt Lake, claims that the assets exceed the liabili ties"by $140,000. The other banks are in no way affected by the collapse, as bank ers generally discredited Mr. Hussey's ideas of banking. .. ' , - '. - . Another Fine Picture. ' Mr.. Eisel who painted the picture 'of North Dalles and The Dalles,' for. Rev;l O. D. Taylor, placed another specimen of his work in Crandall & Burget's win dow this morning. . It is." a view of our energetic townsman's, . Mr. Seufert's place, showing the dwelling houses, sta tion and creamery. The picture is true . to nature and as a work of art is simply superb. The view is down the river, and therefore shows a background similar to the Dalleu picture, Mts. Adams and Hood being the limit. The hills back of The Dalles would be recognized anywhere by - any one who has ever lived here and the view down the Columbia is perfect. One thing that struck us was the differ ence between the appearance of Seufert's . place now, and five years ago. The pic ture truthfully shows it now covered with orchards and vineyards, neafcot tages out-buildings, cannery station and fences. Then it was a barren flat and considered almost worthless. It shows what can be done with our soil, and points an unerring finger of prophesy at the future, changes and improvements near the city. The Dalles is fortunate indeed in having its beauties transferred to canvas by so able an artist as Mr. Eisele, and we sincerely hope that IiIb brush may find further employment ere he leaves us. . TWO OFFICES. One at The Dalles.' One at Portland. The Interstate Investment Company has opened officers at The Dalles, Or'., and at 72 Washington street Portland, for the selling of its own property and for the development of the manufactur ing industries of the coast. At present it is making a specalty of the sale of its North. Dalles town site, where a large shoe factory ,with a daily capacity of 1500 pairs of boots and shoes has been erected, while cutting and other -initial work is being done. The formal' opening of the factory will take place next week. The contracts are signed for a large number of cottages as homes for the employes of the factory, chnrch.es and schoofhouses will soon lie builded. Negotiations are pending for the loca tion of one of the largest tanneries in the United States, and other large manufac tures are contemplating the immediate , usrs of the great water power, which has . long awaited the coming of capital. O. D. Taylor, the president and gen eral manager of the company, resides at The Dalles, and will give welcome and courteous attention to any who desire personal inspection of the property. J. ; F. Edwards, secretary of. the company , retides in Portland, and will have imme diate charge of the Portland office, where full information and plats can be secured and lots purchased. The sale of lots has increased very rapidly in the last two weeks, and the best class of people are heavy purchasers. The Storm in England. London, Dec., 19.
