AN EXPLANATION.
The editor of the Chkoniclk regrets
the necessity- that compels him to dis
avow the authorship of an article that
appeared in. these columns yesterday
evening, reflecting on the conduct of
certain officers of the-3d regiment dur
ing their encampment at this place.
The article in question was never seen
"by him till it appeared in print, and no
one can regret more deeply than himeelf
that it should have appeared under the
quasi sanction of the editorial "we."
We desire' that it should be distinctly
tinderstoodrthat Iwe offer, at this time,
no opinion, (nor have we any) as to the
truth or falsity of the charges, nor have
we any intention to justify drunkenness
and revelry, or to screen the wrong doer
. from his just deserts; but we refuse to
appear before the public in the character
of a judge,-passing vipen evidence that
. has never been submitted except in the
form of conflicting and contradictory
rumor. In a word we had determined
to treat both officers and men with the
strictest fairness and impartiality until
the evidence had been submitted to the
court of public ooinion and then, but
not till then, pronounce a judgment.
We regret the article all the. more be
cause of the marked courtesy and respect
with which both the officers and men of
our two home companies always treated
us on every occasion of our visit to the
camp and, while these visits have some
times extended iuto the darkness of the
night, we are prepared to testify before
any comietent tribunal that we have
never seen the 'sign of liquor on any of
them. What may have occurred at
other times we know not, but we dis
tinctly hold that no. man ought to- be
condemned till he has an opportunity
of being heard in his own defense. For
ourselves we seriously question the
propriety of draging the scxndals of the
comp before the public. No body of
men, as large as the (third regiment,
however well disciplined, are likely to
remain incainp for a period of six days,
without some of thein being guilty of
improprieties which the mantle of char
ity had just as well cover over. If these
improprieties should extend to positive
breach of the military, law the proper
tribunal before which to try them is the
court marshal. On the other hand we
believe that Colonel Houghton owes it
to himself, to the committee of the
fourth of July celebration, and to the
people of The Dalles to explain why he
did not carry that part of the pro
gramme that embraced a sham battle
. by the memler8 of the third regiment,
and the columns of the Chboniclk are
open to him for this purpose.

Editor Chkonici.e : If you will kindly
grant space in your paper I wish to' cor
rect an unjust, and untrue, statement
made (perhaps) through : some misappre
hensive of the facts in the case, by your
local correspondent to the Daily Oregon
ian and published in today's paper
wherein he states that at the last moment
Col. Houghton refused to allow the men
to fire after The Dalles had subscribed
f800 to assist in carrying out the pro
gramme of sham battle and ' that the

raging at the fair grounds all .the after-

heard ten feet away and had it been un

dents, for which the colonel would and
should have been severely censured, but
in the face of all this. I know Col.
Houghton did everything in his power
to get the men together for the firing
after dinner but the men had scattered
(knowing that it could not come off in
the gale then blowing) and could not be
assemblsd. I think instead of censur
ing the colonel . the people should give
him nothing but the highest - praise, for
he has received censure enough outside
for bringing the encampment to The
Dalles.. Now, if after receiving all the
benefits financially, amounting to thous
ands of dollars the people then go back
on such a gentleman as I know Col.
Houghton to be, I think the ones who j
do it are guilty of base ingratitude to say :
the least. This places our - colonel be- !

Wasco, Or., July 6, 1891.
Editor Chronicle : A very sad affair
occurred near Grass Valley on July 4th.
Mr. Roy French left his wife at home on
the morning of the 4th aud attended the
celebration- at Grass Valley and played
at the dance on the same evening and
returned borne ou Sunday morning and
found his wife lying on the bed with her
bands folded on her breast, dead. An
inquest was held last night by W. H.
Williams, J. P., of Moro and Dr. Rol-
lins of Grass Valley. The verdict given
by the coroner's jury stated that she
came to her death by poison, either by
her own hands or other parties. The
evidence of witnesses failed to find any
thing positive in the matter.
There seems to be no doubt but that
. the young couplealways lived happily
and she would have no cause to commit
the act herself. The general opinion is
that she was affe :ted with heart disease
or something of the kind. The mystery
will probably never be solved. They
have been married about eight months.
