Desperado
Shot by a Man
He Bad
Wronged.
Barbocrsville, W. Va., Aug. 24.
John Phelps, a wealthy farmer near
here, shot and killed William Hance
yesterday under remarkable circumstan
ces. -. Hance was a notorious desperado,
who took part in the Bromfied-Runyon
feud and had the - reputation of having
killed five men. In some unaccount
able manner he won Mrs. Pbelp's affec
tions, and on August 10 the two eloped.
They' went to Iron ton," O., and lived
there as man and wife. " Finally Hance' s
money gave out, and then he ordered
her to return to her husband and steal
money that she knew he possessed. The
woman refused and Hance returned to
Barboursville with her yesterday. The
couple marched boldly up to Phelps!
house and called him out and Hance
demanded money that he said belonged
to Mrs. Jrneips. The larmer declined
and Hance made a motion to draw his
revolver. Phelps was too quick for him,
however, and drew a bead on him and
shot Hance through the abdomen. The
desperado tried to run but fell dead at a
second shot irom Whelps pistol. Mrs.
Phelps, who . had watched the affair,
drove to the home of her father, a
tespectable farmer and two hours later
made a futile attempt to commit suicide.
Hance bad terrorized the community
for months, and no one could be found
to molest him. Phelps will not be ar
rested, as public opinion approves his
action.

He May Ban Been Murdered by . His
Former Mistress.
Sabacuse, N. Y.Aug. 24, Charles
Buck, the son of a well-to-do farmer,
died here last night from the effects of a
dose of morphine. He had been living
with a woman named Ella Risley who
eays that Buch committed suicide be
cause of jealousy. Buch had been on a
spree for a week and both he and his
mistress were drunk last evening. The
woman hae been arrested. ' Her state
ments are contradictory and it is sus
pected that it was she who administered
the drug. There is another woman in
the case of whom Mrs. Risley is believed
to have been jealous.
Has Changed Hands.
Walla Walla, Aug. 24. The wheat
market is steady. Buyers and sellers
are gracefully meeting, and about 20,000
bushels changed hands today, the- price
being 74) cents ' for club, - with oc
cassionally 75 for a choice Jot, and 76
for bluestem.' A'prbminent grain dealer
has estimated that 75 per cent of the
wheal crop has passed, from the hands
of the farmers. Dusenberry & Stencil
shipped from Eureka Flat alone 65,000
bushels last week. A prominent wheat
buyer, who is well informed on the
situation, in the course of a conversation
today said he could see no reason for a
decline in prices now. Buyers report
the quality of wheat to be excellent.

TO LINK THE REPUBLICS
An Inter-Continental Railway Which
will Connect South, Central America
With the United States.
The Crews of two Whalers Massacred
Near the Mouth of the Mackinzie .
River Other News Notes.
London, Aug. 26. The Timet today
publishes a three-column article upon
the projected inter-continental railway
which when completed will link South
and Central American republics with
each other and with the United States
In discussing these plans the Timet ex
presses the opinion of James G. Blaine,
United States secretary of state, as "A
man of grand idea, and if, as it seems
quite possible, he is the next president,
there will be some chance of realizing
the scheme." Continuing the Times
eays: "It is obvious that the scheme
has political as well commercial ends in
view to joining the North and South
American republics, even though the
first outward sign, the union, will be
nothing. Iron rail with the supreme
center of republican government at
Washington is a conception of captivat
ing magnitude.
- Whalers Massacred.
Chicago, Aug. 25. A Washington
special says : A catastrophe is reported
by the treasury department from the
arctic regions. It is said the crews of
of two small steam whalers wintering
near the mouth of the Mackenzie about
500 miles east of Point Barrow have
been massacred bv the natives of that
reeion. The steamers were the property
of the Pacific Whaling Company and
carried sixty men as crews. They were
well armed, equipped and provisioned
FROM ARCTIC SEAS.
Safe Return of the Government Steamer
Kite. Many Exciting; Episodes.
St. Johns, N. F Aug. 24. The Arctic
steamer Kite has arrived with reports
of inreresting experiences in Greenland
which include a struggle of three weeks
with icebergs in Melville bay, during
which, period she made, only one bun
dred miles.
Lieutenant Perry, his wife and five
associates were landed in McCormick
bay Muchison sound. Whale sound
his original destination was frozen over
and inaccessible. While in Melville
bay Ferry broke his leg, but Dr. Uook
decided that the occurrence need not
interfere with the expedition as he
would probably be as weir as 'ever in
three months time.
On July 16th the Kite was nearly lost
She got ripped between two floes. All
hands were put to work, and by digging
and blasting the vessel was saved irom
destruction. A number of interesting
trophies were secured oy the explorers,
'A Light Sentence.
New York, Aug. 25. Two bodies
were recovered from the ruins at Park
Place this morning. They were identi
fied as Tom H. Ellis of Ellis & Mc
Donald, and Frederick W. Trippie, pro'
Erietor of the drug store in the ill-fated
uilding. The Italian who was caught
robbing the bodies yesterday, was sen
tenced to the penitentiary . tor six
months today.
Five more bodies . were disclosed . but
they could not be reached because of
the heavy load of machinery on top of
them. The police think there were fifty
corpses in the . cellars. That would
make a total of ninety killed.
'A Firebug Tracked. ''
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 24. An attempt
was made early ' this morning to burn
the Chinese laundry of Soon Lee, on
Jackson street, near Sixth, but prompt
-action ' prevented . a serious blaze in a
long frame row adjoining. The police,
who have been working on the case all
day say tonight tjiey are on the track of
the incendiary, as they have located a
man who was carrying a sack saturated
with coal oil shortly before the fire oc
curred. When last seen he was going
back of the laundry. This is the third
attempt to burn this row.-

A Suggestion for a'new Dish,
Only the silly prejudice of people hae
kept them from, appreciating the excel
lent nourishment to be obtained from
grasshopper soup. John the Baptist
seems to' have preferred them with honey,
probably because he could get his honey
wild out of the crevices and small caves
in the rocks in the wilderness to which'
he resorted.' Prof.' Riley,' with a band
of teachers, in 1873 thoroughly tested
the qualities of these creatures during
their invasion of Missouri. The report
was altogether favorable. An oyster is
just as objectionable as a grasshopper or
a locust, but we have overcome our
qualms against the eater of seaweed ; why
not against the eater of grain.
Crops Washed Away.
London, Aug. 25. Heavy rains . in
West Moreland oounty caused the
streams to overflow, flooding the sur
rounding country. Standing crops were
washed away and cattle drowned. ,"
AWAITING THE PROCLAMATION.
All Classas of Citizens Anxious to Locate
on Indian Lands.
Guthrie, Oklahoma, Aug. 24. The
recent information concerning the open
ing of the Indian lands has cauEedan in
flux of people here that is surprising.
The boomers are arriving with wagons
of every description headed for the Iowa
and Fox reservations. When the presi
dent's proclamation is issued throwing
the lands open for settlement there will
be a scramble almost equal to that which
took place on the opening of Oklahoma.
Every conceivable specimen of humanity
has put in an appearance. The gambler
and the missionary elbow each other
j-eqoally anxious to be among the first
when the order tor tne invasion is pro
claimed. Some have gone 60 far as to
build flat boats with which to cross the :
streams, others have houses on wheels
stocked with provisions ready to move
at a moment's notice. On a line which
extends from the Cimmarron to the
South Canadian, a distance of sixty
miles or more, are camped a thousand
homeless persons anxiously awaiting the
president's proclamation. The southern
negro, the northern white, and the red
Indian mix under the United Stales
marshal's surveillance . unconcernedly,
but when the order to move is given,
there will undoubtedly be trouble.
THE SULTAN'S GIFT.
A Portland Lad Is Honored by His
Majesty.
Sis Sichel has received a letter from
his cousin, Sanford Hirsch, son of Hon.
Sol Hirsch, minister to Turkey, in
which he mentioned a signal honor be
stowed upon him by his serene highness .
the sultan. As his friends know : Young
Hirsch is a great admirer of fine horses,
and he obtained permission to be shown
through the sultan's stables, which con
tained an array of thoroughbred animals
hard to equal.
While going through the stables
Mr. Hirsch admired greatly the fine
collection of riding whips used by the
the sultan, one in particular Kriking
his fancy. The next day an aid de
camp of the 6ultan drove up to the
American embassy in a coach of state,
and presented to young Hirsch, in the
name of the sultan, a superb riding
whip elegantly mounted in silver incased
in a red silk case and tied with a golden
tassel.
It is scarcely necessry to say t hat our
young Portland boy is excedingly proud
of the gift, and will take much pleasure
in showing it to- his wepfoot friends
when he returs from the land of the
harem and their odalisks. ' . ,
A PLUCKY WOMAN.
She Fires at a Burglar, Who, Though
Wounded, Makes His Escape.
, Chicago, Aug. 24. One of the leaders
rof. the demi-monde of this city, Zoe
Owens, was robbed of $0000 worth of
jewelry at an early hour this morning..
She was aroused from sleep and saw sr .
man by the bed. He had a knife fund
threatened to kill her unless she gave- -him
her jewelry. She handed it from
under her pillow, and he backed out of '
the room. ' She immediately jumped np,
spnnrprl ft rAvnlvp o n rl firA1 thrpp nlinr.a
at him before he got out of the house, but
he managed to. escape, leaving a trail of
blood on the steps. The woman thinks
the burglar is a colored man, who
formerly worked in her house.
A Fatal Accident.
We copy the 'following from the '
Prineville News of ' Aug. 22nd. Mr,

Not True.
Prineville News. -
' ."Diphtheria is raging at Prineville, ;
seven" of one family dying last week
from the effects of the malady," says
the Times-Mountaineer. Not one word -of
the paragraph is true. Diphtheria is
not nowj and never has been, raging in
Prineville. There is not a case of diph
theria in Crook, county today, and but
two families in the county have been
afflicted with the disease this summer.
One of the families so afflicted lost four
children ; all the children in the other
afflicted family are alive and well. One
family of diphtheria sufferers lives forty .
miles from Prineville, and the other, the
one that lost the children, lives three '
miles from Prineville. . Both papers -here
have related the facts regarding the .
diphtheria. They have -kept nothing
back but have faithfully recorded all
there was to be recorded concerning tna
malady and its fatality.
