Remains of a "BuUtr" Found.
Walla Walla Union.
Another skeleton has been found in
the Blue mountains in the vicinity of
Walla Walla. This time it is in a small
creek on Basket mountain. Several
days ago Frank Salings found in the
creek below what is known as "Thief's
Corral," some of the bones of a human
being. The boots were still on and also
some of the underclothing. A red silk
handkerchief was around the neck, and
all these were in such a good state of
preservation that it is quite certain
the man could not have been dead
more than a year. A pair of spurs
were also found. .It is the general
supposition that the bones are the
remains of a notorious cattle and horse
thief who disappeared ' about a year
ago. The spurs have been identified
and also the gold filling in the teeth.
It is thought that he was murdered by
his accomplice in crime, with whom it
is known he had been quarreling. The
boots had been eaten down to the ankles
by coyotes. Mr. Saling took the skull
and lower extremities to Weston.

SWEET KIN SING.
Wong X.ouie's Story of His Courtship
! , and Marriage.
1 Wong Louie is the name of the China
man referred, to in'THE Chronicle here'
tofore as Husband No. 1 of the, woman
for whom a struggle for possession was
made on Saturday. Wong Louie came
into the office this morning to give' a full
explanation of the affair, as he recog
nizes the mission of the American news
paper and wants the whole matter thor
oughly aired. His story has a touch of
romance about it, and in romantic style,
commences before the birth of his wife.
Wong Louie was once a boss China
man, taking large contracts for Chinese
help on the O. & C, and with head
quarters for many years at Sisson. He
had -been acquainted with Kin Sing,
who afterward became his wife, all her
life and knew her parents before she was
born. With great impressiveness be
exhibited to a Chboxiclk reporter this
morning the marriage contract between
them. It was drawn out in regular
legal form, properly signed and sealed,
and contains in addition their photo
graphs. The date of marriage, as it ap
pears on t'he certificate, was October 3d,
1893, at which time Wong Louie claims
Kin Sing was 21 years old. He showed
also the certificates of residence of both
himself and wife, and which contain the
photographs.
These papers, together with an inter
esting tale of his courtship, is assurance
of the fact that they were legally 'mar
ried. She was captivated by his ap
parent high position in life and his
wealth, and was not personally averse
to him for his own sake, and so they
were married, living in lawful wedlock
until last week. Within two . weeks
after he was married, he lost his posi
tion as dobs Chinaman, but like her
Caucausian sisters, she married him for
better or worse, and she desired to share
his fortunes, whatever they were, and so
wanted to follow him. He went to
Portland . with her; and later to The
Dalles, and has lived here with her for
many months. : .
His domestic happiness, he claims,
refused its first rude shock, when he un
expectedly met her in the recorder's
office the morning after her unexplained
absence from his home. She turned
away from him with a repugnant motion
and expressed a desire vto- follow her
new lord.
Wong Louie explains this episode in a
purely psychological way. He says he
saw her at 11 o'clock, an hour before the
time set for setting forth a meal, and
when he went to eat it she had flown.
The man she ran off with, sa?s Wong,
she saw only once before at Justice
Geisler's court at Portland as a witness
in a perjury case. He is a highbinder
and has taken advantage of her mind by
some hypnotic means, and Wong be
lieves a certain lobster salad of curious
flavor has acted as a philter of ' some
kind to estrange her liegeful affections.
Wong Louie's position in life is reduced.
He now works for $20 a month, but he
does i not believe this has operated
againBt him with the woman. They
have together mourned the death of a
child and their hearts were cemented
together past the power of. worldly cir
cumstances to break.
The woman is now at- Portland.
Neither Chinaman has her, for she was
taken in charge by the managers of the
Chinese mission home in Portland, and
she is safe until the law decides where
she belongs.
A case has arieen in The Dalles which
promises to be hotly contested. "The at
torneys on the other side claim a repre
sentation has been made that Louie en
deavored to place his wife in a house of
ill fame, in order to retrieve the family
fortunes, but he denies the asseveration
with great vigor.
Down
The Nbw Woman.
Rev. George F. Hall, a celebrated
preacher of Decatur, 111., addressed a
good-sized audience last night at the
court house on the subject of the "New
Woman." Though the speaker talked
nearly two hours the audience did not tire
for a moment. Mr. Hall is very enter
taining. The basis of his talk is that
the new woman will be the-physical,
intellectual, social and political equal
of man. Though Mr. Hall's ideas are
not new he impressed the audience by
his original manner of statement, and
his collrboration of facts, relieved by a
proper quota of humorous sayings. He
urges women to discard the use of cor
sets and long skirts, and there will not
be so much "female complaint." ' There
will be healthier progeny and women,
with proper exercise, will become physi
cally equal to men. As being intellect
ually equal he cited numerous individual
cases, among them the author of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," who did as much to free
the slave as the Northern ' armies. The
latter part of the lecture was devoted to
woman suffrage, a movement in which
Mr. Hall is an' enthusiast, and believes
is surely coming.
