Killed by the Cars.
The east-bound passenger, as it pulled
out about midnight last night, ran over
a man, about a hundred yards the other
side of the company's ice house. . The
engineer saw him lying on the track,
reversed his engine and applied the air
brakes, but was not able to stop the
train until the wheels of the engine had
passed over the victim's head. From
appearances the man had been drinking
and lay down on the track to sleep.
The wheels struck him on top of the
head, mashing the left side of it to a
pulp. As the body, with the exception
of the toes of qne foot, was not touched,
we judge the man . was lying by the
track using the rail for a pillow.
Some of the railroad beys recognize
the body as that of a man employed as
a cook on the section, but know no other
nanie-for him than "Dutchy." The re
mains were taken, to Mr. Michel Fs un
dertaking rooms, where an inquest will
be held on them tomorrow, when the
engineer and firemen who were on the
engine that ran over him will return.
A .Bad Scalp Wound.
This morning shortly before noon a
little C-year-old son of T. W. Jackson
was playing in front of Jones cigar store,
where 'men were engaged in bracing up
the sidewalk and filling in a hole in the
edge of the street where it had caved
during the high water. The little fel
low was cautioned several times to keep
away, but paid, no attention to the warn
ings. In playing he stood on the side
walk and was leaning on the handle of a
spade which he had braced against the
bank on the opposite side of the cave.
His han'ds slipped and he fell headfore
most, striking the corner of a plank in
the bottom of the hole, and receiving an
ugly three-cornered scalp wound four
inches in length. Dr. Hollister sewed
up the wound.

Crop Bulletin.
The following is the report of the
Oregon State Weather Service for the
week ending Monday, Aug. 6th, 194 :
Last week was -the warmest of the
season. The temperature' in Columbia
and . Walla Walla valleys averaged 78
degrees. South and east of the Blue
mountains the average was 70 degrees.
A heavy shower occurred in Baker
county on Sunday. No precipitation
occurred in other sections. ' The sun
shine was normal.
Headers made rapid progress. The
weather was excellent for advancing the
harvest. The weather was the warmest
for the season , but was not attended by
damaging hot winds.. All grains ripening
so that the oat crop is in a proper state
for the harvester. Some late, sown
grain possibly suffered injury by the
warm spell, but the damage is found
only in spots. There is an excellent
outlook for large yields of all kinds of
grain. The aphis scare is passed. When
grain is found to be shriveled some
attribute it to the grain ahpis and others
to the warm weather. Corn has a very
good color and will make a good crop.
Apples and plums are plentiful. Wild
and cultivated blackberries are in the
markets. Gardens suffered much from
the warm weather, but the potato crop
still will be very good.
Our North Powder, Union county,
correspondent writes that all kinds of
grain are doing well, but ripening too
rapidly to make a plump berry. Crops
are Buffering in sections of Union and
Malheur counties for want of moisture.
Our correspondent at "Vale writes that
farmers are securing the second crop of
alfalfa, and that there is a plenty of
water in the streams for irrigation pur
poses. Ajl kinds of stock are doing well.
Harvesting is well advanced and barley
is ready to cut. There ia a good pros
pect for fair price9 for hay.
He Went In Ernest.
Sunday , afternoon Mr. Riggs- and
Ernest Drews went boat riding on the
broad bosom of the turbulent Columbia.
Now, Ernest is given to deep spells of
introspection, self communion and sich,
in which he becomes so wrapped up in
himself that he ia dead to all outside
matters. Such was his condition Sun
day as the little boat leaped over the
white caps, and Ernest indulged in deep
thought concerning electrical matters,
and particularly to theuse of electricity
as a depilatory, being led thereto by the
fact that the wind was blowing with un
becoming freedom through the silky
tangle of his firat crop of whiskers, and
therefore heeded not - the warning to
watch out for the boom. The boat
tacked, and the boom came around
striking Ernest in the shoulders and
knocking him out from under his hat
and into the Columbia. He could not
swim - a stroke, but fortunately , was
thrown so far ahead that he had gone
down and, not liking it, had come back
to the surface ' by the time the boat
reached him, and Mr. Riggs, taking a
good grip in his collar, snaked him
back into the boat. He lost his watch,
he lost the . thread of his electrical
thought, and he lost confidence in' him
self at the same time.
The shock was a severe one, for his
whiskers, which were black as a
coal ' when he went over, were al
most white when he was pulled out.
He has taken a short vacation and gone
to Portland after a razor. Seriously it
was a very close call and we are glad

The Indians Will Be Happy.
Judge Bellinger yesterday morning
rendered an important decision in the
cases, of Thomas Hawks and Edward
Kline, charged with selling ' liquor to
Indians. It was not shown that the
Indians to whom the liquor was sold
were wards of a United States Indian
agent, and the court presumed, in the
absence of proof to "the contrary, that
they were beneficiaries under the allot-"
ment of land in severalty to the Indians
of the Umatilla agency in 1887.
He decided that the allotment Of lands
in severalty to Indians had the effect
of removing them from under the charge
of Indian agents, and gave them the
standing of American citizens. As such
the United States laws governing In
dian wards of the government do not
apply to them, and the selling of liquor
to an Indian who is not in charge'of a
United States Indian agent is not pun
ishable under the United States stat
utes. The decision has, as a precedent,
the opinion of Judge Han ford delivered
in an Indian case of another character
in 1892, but it is the first decision to
this effect in a case directly . in
point.- It will have the effect of Tery
materially lessening the number of pros
ecutions in the United States court of
the o Sen b of selling liquor to Indians,
and after it is thoroughly understood by
the Indians there should be no difficulty 1
in getting them to accept allotments of
lands in severalty. Telegram.
