THEY I' OUGHT WITH CtJWS.
A Desperate Duel at the Cwwade Locks.
Mike McCormack is one of Major
Handbury's stone masons at the Cas
cades and possesses the reputation of
being very handy with his fists in a sort
of John L. Sullivan style. Lately a bar
ber .by the name of Parr came to the
Cascades to assist in absorbing some of
the money this great government is dis
pencing among the classic precincts, and
claimed to be able to pnt. anybody to
sleep in short order with the hands with
which he so deftly uses the razor. Both
men smelt blood in the air. and wanted
to tight, and the bad feeling resulted in
a fight in which revolvers, took, the place
of the hands that nature had given them
for defense. Saturday afternoon . they
met in a saloon and after some few words
adjourned to the street, and both being
armed, opened fire at a distance of about
thirty feet. Both men emptied their
guns. McCormack was hit once by his
opponent, the bullet going through' the
Upper portion of . the bowels . and just
touching the-liver ' and coming out
through his back.. It is an ugly wound
and may result in his death. Parr was
hit three times, twice in the groin and
once in the ' breast. Neither of his
wounds are serious. ' Both men are un
der the doctor's care.' The only arrest
growing out of It was of a young man
named Thompson, who gave . Fair some
cartridges after the, shooting and
attempted to get him across the Colum
bia in a small boat. Deputy Sheriff
Trana brought Thonipson to The Dalles
yesterday; He -'ill be taken back to
the Cascades today for preliminary ex
amination. The shooting occurred at
about 3 o'clock Saturday and made a
good deal of excitement at the Cascades,
but all is quiet again now.
The Pendleton Shooting:.
There is something mysterious about
the shooting affair which took place at
Pendleton , about nine o'clock last Fri
day night, in which the colored porter
of the , Pullman car "Samoa" figured
and whom Sheriff Cates tried to arrest
in this city Saturday forenoon. The
East Oregoniau haB this, to say about the
affair : "It appears that the darkey was
first stopped by two unknown men,; he
drove them off with his revolver and
was then fired at and chased by a third
party unknown. This is all any one
knows, and a mvstery is presented which
has not been solved." Perhaps all 'will
come out in. the washing.' . It. is sup
posed the first two were' "hobos," and
assaulted the porter who had some
money on his person, for the purpose of
robbery ; that the third man who follow
ed and shot at him had another purpose
in' view, and was not acting1 inj concert
with them."
In the fusilade (for about nine shots
were fired,) a. stray, bullet struck .engi
neer Kuhnake in the side, inflicting t
flesh wound which, however is not. ser
ious.- If the porter was', merely defend'
ing himself from being "held up, ' as is
supposed, it is rather -singular that he
should hide himself from the officers
who sought his arrest. . ,....'

There is a charming delicacy in the
gentle allusions of the Baker City Rev
eille, 'ri the following paragraph, which
explu na itself : (
Mr. Mellis ordered the Daily Reveille
discontinued. This action will hot have
the tendency to make his ears look
smaller than formerly. His mouth will
also remain as usual.
THE HOUSE OF. GOD.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. .
A large number of persons listened ' to
pastor - Curtis at the morning service
preach from John 15 :4.' He said we are
largely creatures of habit. The most 'of
us get into a nit and live apparently to
no purpose. , Life settles itself into cer
tain lines and no progress is made.
Rising higher requires an impulse which
must spring from a heart that is filled
more or less with kindness. Many men
commit flagrant sins and yet are sub
ject to good impulses they desire to be
and do good while they act exactly in an
opposite direction. The impulse for
good is one of the glimmerings of the di
vine spark, and even guilty wicked men
are subject to it, but the spark .does not
become a flame. To become a . true
christian requires somethingjnore than
impulse. , It means getting out of the
rut, it means work and determination
to do, to strive,' to labor upward and on
ward. It must be principle which holds
own against temptation where impulse its
will give way. Another and the closing
thought was that while God showers
nfany of has Wearing upon -ub without
our asking them, it is nevertheless true
that he reserves the choicest for . those
that humbly ask them, and they are to
be had only by striving to be his children
and living closely to him.
A Baker City barber during the dull
season has to resort to all methods of
turning an honest quarter and this is
how he done it. A gentleman came in
to get a shave and took a chair. The
barber commenced operations and soon
had one side of his customer's face shav
ed when . a second gentleman came in,
expressing his desire to be shaved quick
ly. Leaving customer number one, the
artist commenced on number two- and
soon had one cheek as smooth as-a"fifty-three
quarter" without the darts. At
this moment a third customer came in
and desired a "hair cut" in a hurry.
The knight of the razor asked if custo
mer number three -wanted a close cut.
Receivine an affirmative reply, he ran
the clippers from the jiape of the neck
to the eyebrows, remarking at the finish,
1 guess you will wait now;" He then
commenced with his first customer and
soon was the happy possessor of three
bright two bit pieces. Oregon Blade. '
Two young gentlemen made a raid,
last night, on the chicken roost of fin old
grand army man, on the bluff. The old
soldier had ingeniously fixed a cow bell,
so that the least tampering with the
door would give him notice. . So he set
the trap and lay quietly in wait. ''About
eleven o'clock the bell, was rung, there
were two; dull thuds made by a short
piece of six inch plank in- the hand of
the old soldier, on the head and back of
the chicken thieves and in an instant
they were gone, bnt' the chickens re
mained. What an old soldier doesn't
know about chicken .stealing isn't worth
knowing. . '".
Jail DeUrery.
From the stage driver from Golden
dale we learn that a prisoner by the
name of Beck, who. was confined in. the
county jail at that place for attempting
rape, sawed off two of the bars and escap
ed about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.;!
After gaining his liberty he stole a horse
belonging to Mr. Vanhay and skipped
the country. Two other prisoners whose
terms were almost served out, refused to
accompany him. At last reports he had
not been captured.
