A bucking locomotive made things
lively at the Albina round house a few
days ago. She had been fully restored
and run into the round house, prepara
tory to resuming work on the road.
The man in charge of the engine alleges
that when he left her at 6 o'clock p. m.,
she carried 25 pounds of steam, her
throttle was closed, her lever reversed
and her wheels were blocked. Soon,
thereafter, she began moving, and
leaped into the air the full length of her
boiler. She then tumbled into the turn
table pit, splintering her cab. The as
signed cause for the peculiar action of
the locomotive is that there was an in
adequate quantity of packing to prevent
the steam from escaping.
Lieut. Frederick G. Schwatka of arctic
fame, died in Good Samaritan hospital
at Portland yesterday, from the effects
of an overdose of laudanum taken for
the purpose of relieving pains in his
stomach. Thus closes the career of a
brilliant man ; who, it has been truth
fully said, has shed luster upon the
state of his adoption. He was in hia
usual jovial mood the evening before,
but complained some about a pain in
his stomach. His prospects were very
encouraging, and he expected soon to
perfect arrangements for going down to
Mexico, where he had a scheme with
some Mexican land company. He was
also very enthusiastic about his plans
for having the government make a na-
Itional park of Mount Hood. He seemed
to feel highly encouraged, and believed
all his plans would materialize.

The sheriff regreta the affair greatly, but
feels that he could not have done other

and he is supported by public senti
ment. He has made several visits to
the wounded man, who will be well
cared for. The latter, it is said, seems
to think he was shot for a light crime.
but should recognize his error in trying '
to escape. He had every chance to give
up the race before it became necessary
to stop him with a bullet. The war
rant accused him of a penitentiary of
f ense, and the sheriff could not allow
bira to escape. It is reported the pa
tient said he had an' opportunity to
shoot the sheriff, but, despite the bad
things he has been guilty of. never
killed a man and never intended to.

National Car Association.
The wheat blockade in Chicago and
New York-is explained in our local mar
ket quotations today by an excerpt from
Mark Lane Express. Millers of Great
Britain are bidding low, confident that
our great surplus must go to them.
There is a lack of cars for the same rea
sons that there is a lack of tonnage on
the lakes, viz : "the elevators are filled
to the eves." In conversation with a
railway traffic manager on this subject
he says the only remedy against "car
hoarding," which is equally as vexations
in time of a blockade as the blockade its
elf, is to make a national association for
car service, such as the Ross system on
the Burlington line. Exactly the same
principles could be made to apply be
tween the members of a national asso
ciation as Mr. Ross applies to the divi
sions of the Burlington. This would
practically pool the cars of the members,
but each would benefit largely by guar
anteed freedom from a car famine. In
this way also no line could be crippled
for lack of cars unless all other lines
were equally crippled. It would be the
duty of the. chairman to shift the cars
where there is the greatest demand.
This would result in an infinitely super
ior service to the public and the cry of
favoritism between shippers in times of
car shortages would be forever stopped.
It is scarcely believable, but there is an
excess of cars twenty-five percent, above
the needs of traffic during any year in
the history of railroads. When the lines
in ono 'territory are crowded those in
another may have their sidetracks full
of idle cars. A national car service
association vrould almost completely do
away with this difference by finding use
for the idle cars. Why the plan has not
been adopted is a standing mystery
among railroad men. Perhaps it is the
Arkansas man's reason for not building
a roof.

RISIOBICAL INCIDENT.
Reminiscence of an Attack Upon The
V
Dalles and Canyon Cltv Stage.
Hidden away in the musty archives
of the State of Oregon is a long curious
looking tin box that contains a 38-cali-ber
Colt revolver, very large and heavy,
a bowie-knife made from a butcher
knife, two pair of bullet molds, two ram
rods and a belt. They are old and
rusty, but they are prized as relics of
Oregons early history when Indians
were on the warpath and settlers' lives
were in danger. In 1887 this-historical
arsenal was presented to the state of
Oregon through Secretary McBride, and
since then it has lain undisturbed in the
state house. The articles were the
property of H. C. Paige when he made
himself famous by a desperate conflict
with a band of Indians in September,
1866. He was messenger for Wells,
Fargo & Co., and was guarding the com
pany treasure box which was being car
ried by stage from Canyon city to The
Dalles. H. H. Wheeler jwas driver of
the coach, and it was near Alkali Flat.
There were no passengers and the two
were slowly jogging along a very hilly
portion of the road, when euddenly six
teen Indians on horseback made a dash
for the coach, firing as they approached.
Paige sprang to the ground and single
handed engaged the savages. So rapid
and effective was his fire that three of
the Indians fell from their horses and
the remainder scattered in flight. But
they soon rallied and again surrounded
the doomed stage. Meanwhile Wheeler
received a bullet near the corner of his
mouth which passed entirely through
his cheeks. It was impossible to drive
faster than a walk,' so rough was the
road, so Paige and Wheeler unhitched
the two lead horses, mounted them and
left the scene to the mercy of the Indi
ans. Amidst a volley of bullets they
fled to the nearest station and thence to
The Dalles.- Mr. Paige is now living in
eastern Oregon, but he leads a quiet
add secluded life and refuses to talk of
hia brave actions or his valuable connec
tion with the early settlement of 'the
state.
