Killed HI Daughter's Seducer.
Chattanooga, Tenn., April 16. Two
aristocratic families of Sevierville. in
this state, have been brought into deep
est trouble by the indiscretion of the
son of one family and the daughter of
the other. For a year or so, John Mul
lendose has been devoting himself to
Mary Montgomery, daughter of Captain
Robert Montgomery. The girl's par
ents demanded an explanation, and she
named Mullendose as her betrayer,
The father of the girl took his shotgun
and went after the young man. He
met him in company with his father.
"Marry my daughter, or I will kill
yon," the girl's father said.
Young Mullendoae said he would not.
The other raised his gun. The boy's
father put his hand to the muzzle of the
weapon to save his son. The discharge
blew his hand off and killed the young
man as well.

inent, beard shots fired and ran at once
to Green's house,, where he found two

portant witnesses.
A Pacific Coast Strike.
y Chicago, April 16. A local paper de
clares that within 10 days strikes will be
declared on several Northwestern roads.
Arrangements are completed for a strug
gle with the Pacific coast lines, which is

Union auspices, and it is given out that
a strike is inevitable on the Eastern
division, unless the company restores the
old schedules. Representatives of the
conductors and trainmen handed Gen
eral Manager Case today signed state
ments antagonizing the strike.
The forts Were Deserted.
New Yoke, April 16. A correspond
ent at Rio de Janerio writes concerning
the Brazilian revolution : "During
Sunday, March 11, Peixoto notified the
diplomatic corps that he would fire on
the insurgent vessels on Tuesday. Da
Gama .sent a proposition of terms to
surrender, which Peixoto refused. Tues
day while flags floated from the insur
gent ships and forts the firing lasted two
hours, when it was discovered the ships
bad been deserted. Many officers had
already escaped on merchant vessels,
and many others are seeking refuge on
merchant vessels. Da Gama escaped on"
board the French man-of-war Manacon,
w hich put to sea. It is reported he de
sires to escape only to slay De Mello.
Others think he traded honor for life."
USEFUL ALLIGATORS.
They Are Valuable as lc troy era of Troub
lesome Rodents.
The bayous of Louisiana were form
erly the homes of alligators without
number. They did no particular harm,
except by catching stray a pig or dog
now and then; nor we,re they known
to be of any particular use. The peo
ple, for the most part, let them alone.
Then there sprang up at the north a
demand for alligator skins for the
making of satchels, "pocketbooks and
the like, and the natural result fol
lowed. The alligators were killed in
great numbers, till presently they were
almost destroyed.
No harm was done, people thought;
but by and by it began to be noticed
that certain mischievous quadrupeds
were multiplying. In the rice fields,
according to a Louisiana exchange, the
muskrats increased in such numbers
that it became hard work to keep "up
the back levces,which had been built to
keep the water on the rice during the
growing "season. What perhaps was
more serious, the same burrowing ro
dents infested, the front levees, and
nothing but constant watchfulness
averted disastrous consequences.
Then market gardeners began to
complain of an alarming increase in
.the number of rabbits, raccoons and
other animals which preyed upon the
cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce and simi
lar vegetables. Some of the gardeners
were compelled to inclose their gar
dens with close wire fences, or else
abandon the cultivation of some of
their most profitable crops.
The alligators had not been useless,
and the people had learned anew that
it is dangerous to go too fast and too
far in disturbing the order of nature.
THE INDIAN AS A FIGHTER.
Strike Will Probably Extend to the
K a.s term Division Tomorrow.
Minneapolis, Minn., April 16. The
great strike has not yet reached the
Twin cities. The indications are that It
will do so within 48 -hours. A mass
meeting is to be held here tomorrow
He Likes Warfare. excels In It and Is an
Excellent niurksnian.
"The Indian is the most vicious fight
er on earth," said Maj. Harbour, late
press agent of the world's fair, but a
former plainsman, to a Washington
Post reporter. "You read in the ac
counts of the South African war where
a hundred or two Englishmen go out
and whip five or ten thousand black
men. There is no uncivilized people
on earth, no race which is utterly igno
rant of what we call .the science of
war, that can for a minute' compare
with the Indians as warriors. No
.frontier general would think of lead
ing his troops against a body of Indians
where the odds were greatly against
him. Why? Because the Indian is
naturally a fighter and a- marksman,
and because he has been quick to learn
what the white armies have taught
him in warfare. '
"Take that fight in which Sitting
Bull was killed. That was a skirmish,
it's true, but it illustrates my point.
There were just sixteen men on each
side.. The battle lasted not over five
minutes, and eight were killed on each
side. Those Indian scouts rode straight
through the camp of Sitting Hull, and
engaged the old demon himself and
fifteen of his picked warriors in a bat'
tie in which no man knew he had
more than an even chance of surviving.
. ''I've seen them. They love to fight.
Their ambition is to win glory in
fighting. Their traditions urge them
on to fight. It's their only really aris
tocratic business. They are physically
well qualified to fight; they know how.
and yon can bet they do fight when
they get at it."

The Cnp Ptesentation.
Cohvallis, April 14, 1894.
Last Monday evening the champion
ship cup, presented to the foot ball
team of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, was formally presented. This cup,
costing $125, is of elegant and appro
priate design, manufactured of sterling
silver by Tiffany, and is to remain in the
college as a trophy of past victories, and
not to pass out of its possession with
possible defeat.
Judge W. S. McFadden, of Corvallis,
addreesed the team on behalf of the
citizens in his usual pleasing manner,
He emphasized the Scriptural Baying
that the glory of young men is in their
strength and that a healthy body is
necessary to a healthy intellect. Noting
the inscription he said he thought the
engraver had made a mistake in adding
the figure "4" after the year of "1893."
"The fathers of the revolution referred
with pride to their Bunker Hill and
iexingion, said tne judge, "you may
speak: of your Monmouth, Albany,
Portland juniors, Portland University,
but, ah, there is where the engraver
made the mistake.: You met the enemy
and they were yours (with one single
exception)." In his response, Halt
back Burnett, captain -of the team,
thanked the people for their tribute and
the interest they had manifested in their
behalf.. He also paid a high tribute
to Manager Will H. Bloss. Mr. Wallis
Nash then made a few remarks on the
subject of athletics, and in referring to
the brutality of football said that the
young men should be the best jndges of
that themselves and he would venture
to say that after the' Portland game, bad
the young men been asked to play again
they would gladly have consented. The
ladies' mandolin and' guitar clnb were
the recipients of numerous compliments
for their excellent music. This is the
first occasion on which the college hall
had been lighted by electricity and the
effect is to lend much more attractive
ness to the hall. The sfudents deserve
much credit for their energy in raising
the necessary funds to wire the hall and
purchase ' chandeliers. The acoustic
properties of this hall are better than
those of any otl.er . auditorium in the
city, and it was for this reason that it
was selected for the Red path concert,
which occurs on the 26th inst., and
given under the auspices of the college.
The next move in the improvement of
the hall will be toward the purchase of
a carpet, and when this is added the
chapel will have the most inviting as
sembly hall of any of the" state institu
tiona of learning, v
