The German Picnic.
Our German' brethren gave their an
nual picnic at their grounds near Mo
r ier Sunday. Whether it was owing to
hard times or other causes the crowd
was not bo large as usual, but those who
attended say that they bad a splendid
time. The Dalles Brass Band was in at
tendance, and as the Regulator swept
down the current on her second trip it

woke the echoes with chords of music,
or at least with a great deal. The re
turn trip was made about 7 o'clock.
The Death of Hayes.
The Hawthorne crowd got quicker re
turns on their investment than usual in
these degenerate times. Hayes is dead,
and Hawthorne and Rowe are in biding,
a price 'set upon their heads. Saturday
afternoon Revs.' Hinman and Powell',
learning from Hawthorne that Hayes
had shot himself, started in a hack to
bring him into Dufur. They found him
about twenty miles from that place on
15-Mile and only about a mile from the
snow line. When they reached him he
was rolled up in his blankets, dead, and
Hawthorne and Rowe had left. They
started back, but were met by the sher
iff's posse and returned to where the
body was, with them. In the mean
while T. J. Driver and Dick Palmer had
started out but missed the road so did
not reach the place until after Hinman
and Powell. Learning from them that
the boys had skipped they returned to
Dufur. The sheriff and posse camped
for tho night near the body, and after
making" a careful examination of it in
the morning, covered it with logs and
brush, so that nothing could disturb it
until the arrival of the coroner. ' The
justice of the peace at Dufur acted as
coroner, and held an inquest on the
body yesterday., The verdict of the jury
has not ye. been sent in, but we learn
that the doctors who examined the
corpse say that the wound in the groin
was evidently caused by accident, as the
ball ranged upward in a way that it
would be hard to account for otherwise.
Besides this they found, another bullet
wound in the "back of the head, which
must have caused death instantly. It
was probably self-inflicted, unless in
deed his comrades performed the act for
him, which some seem to think. It is
more probable Hayes, realizing he was
gone, killed himself, for the other boys!
would hardly go after a doctor for him
and then kill him.
A Forfcery.
Pat Welch is in from Antelope and so
is G. T. Weaver. The former came in
at his own expense, and Mr. Weaver is
a guest of the county and food for the
grand jury mill., Mr." Welch charges
that Weaver passed a forged check in
the sum of $46 on him at Antelope and
then skipped, out for Prineville. Mr.
Welch followed him, and at Prine.ville
swore out a warrant for his arrest.
Weaver was caught about six miles the
other side of Prineville, on the road
leading up Crooked river. .
Mr. Young's House burned.
Mr. George Young came in yesterday,
and had four big teams loaded with wool:
He tells us that the night of the 25th
the house on the Chandler place pur
chased not long ago by him, was burned
to the ground. The fire was evidently
of ' incendiary origin, as none of Mr.
Young's people bad been in or about it
for nearly two weeks. The house cost
$1,700 to build, and with the contents
Mr. Young estimates his loss at $2,000 ;
insured for $8X). . "

The Flood.
All other subjects have lost interest as
compared to the question as to how high
the water will come. This morning it
stood at 48.2 and was rising at the rate
of a little over an inch an hour. At
Umatilla there was a rise of 1.3Mondav
and 1.5 Sunday, the river there being
28.9 this morning. At Riparia it is 21.9
and still coming. The water already on
the- way down, with no further rise
above, will increase the measure here by
at least four feet. That it will be on
First street by tomorrow night seems as
sured. This, morning most of the en
gines were taken out of the round house
and are side-tracked near the depot. At
8 o'clock the water was creeping around
the coal bunkers. "The incline below the
coal bunkers has lifted, and the old
roadway and bridge are badly wrecked.
Seufert has had two of his fish wheels
swept away, and the Winans Bros, lost
two more yesterday, three in all. It
looks as though every wheel in the river
would be carried away. Yesterday
Commodore Condon got steam up on
the Inland Star and tried to bring in one
of Seufert's fish wheels. . The cable got
foul of the propeller, and before it could
be cleared the little steamer was carried
down for several miles, but she landed
her. plunder just the same. Coming
home she ran on a rock below Stone's
fish wheel and laid up for several hours
until the water rising lifted her off.
. Many of the dwellers on First street
are preparing . to move furniture and
stores from the lower stories, and by
tomorrow this movement will, be gen
eral. Two feet and a few inches will
bring the water to the mark of 1876, and
that it will pass that point by a foot or
two seems very probable. The carrying
away of the fish wheels is the most seri
ous damage done. The loss is bard to
estimate, as it is not only the property,
but the loss of the season's catch that
enters into the calculation.
: About 160 feet of trestle was washed
out this side of Mosier early yesterday
evening, but Superintendent Borie, who
was here, organized a force and had all
damages repaired, so that last night's
passenger reached here about 9 o'clock
this morning. Quite a section of track
was washed out this side of Grants, but
was repaired yesterday. Y"
Among the flotsam yesterday was a
hnge section of bridge, with a chain, the
links of which would weigh three pounds
apiece. It is probable tbis is a? part of
one of the four bridges swept out of Spo
kane. Three small houses bobbed along
and several lots of cattle, five going down
in a bunch." The surface of the river ia
a mass of foam, and logs, timber, stumps,
brush, fences, and everything floatable
is hurrying panic-stricken to the sea.
As the water creeps up inch by inch the
collection ' . becomes larger and more
varied. Where it will end, or how high
the Water will come no one can tell, but
with favorable conditions 'as we have
now, those on Second street will have no
advantage over First.
. The Public School Kxercisea.
The public school exercises at Bald
win opera house Saturday night were
well attended, the house being reasona
bly filled. Had it not been for the fool
ish reports that J.he building was unsafe
the attendance would have been much
larger. The program was varied some
what from the printed form, but it was
well rendered throughout. The music,
both vocal and instrumental, was excep
tionally good, as were the recitations.

The features that seemed to take the
audience most were the waiter song, by
fourteen cunning little tots from the
primary, each armed with a cup and
saucer, which they used in their invita
tion to take a cup of tea. 'The Japanese
fan drill, by seventeen girls, which
showed some pretty groupings and illus
trated just how expressive a fan in the
hands of a woman, or a girl either, may
become ; the Mother Goose drill, in
which twenty-eight pupils, each repre
senting some one of dear old Mother
Goose's' charming family, all of whom
were- present, from Jack Horner to
Daffy-down-dilly ; and ' the "Visitors
from Foreign Lands." In this, the clos
ing piece, twenty-six visitors, represent
ing a couple from nearly every civilized
country, were represented , by ' eleven
''entertainers.' The gentleman of "ach
couple carried the flag of the country he
represented and aa they each finished
singing their little piece displayed it.
The couple from Germany brought down
the house. The little lady in her wooden
shoes was just immense and seemed to
enjoy the situation aa much aa the audi
ence. . , 4
The pleasure of the play was marred
by a trifling accident. It seems that
one-half the people present had heard
just enough talk - about the building be
ing dangerous that, like a powder maga
zine, they onlyvneeded a touch of fire to
cause a terrible explosion. In the midst
of Walter Reavis' declamation a gentle
man sat down on one of the benches,
the legs of which gave way, and of course
the falling bench made considerable
noise. In less than half a minute a
panic started in the front of the house
and a wild mob started for the door.
One boy grabbed a chair and threw it
through a glass door, following it out
before it struck outside. For a moment
it looked like the panic would become
serious, but some of the cooler heads
near the stage pulled those nearest them
back, and Prof. Gavin reassured the au
dience, so that shortly everything was
over, and after singing America, in
which the audience joined, Walter Rea
vis resumed his speech. A few of the
panic-stricken fled up the street, but
were fortunately Bide-tracked before
they could get out of town. The exhibi
tion waa a decided success in every way,
barring the aforesaid panic.
