Mr. F. S. Fox, who has been working

places below the knee. Dr. Hollister
set the injured member, and Mr. Fox
was removed to The Dalles today to re
cuperate. A farmer's four horse team ran away
in the East end last evening. The lead
ers ran under Moody's warehouse, one
of the horses etriking a post and laying
bare its frontispiece, so that the internal
workings of .the brain could be seen.
The horse was still alive this morn
ing, and ate hay with' its accustomed re
lish. Mr. II. W. Craven and-Mr.' Henry, L.
Wilson will epeak tonight at the court
house. Both are enthusiastic workers
fr McKinley and protection and have a'

now for the guidance of the intelligent

why the American people propose to in
stall Maior McKinley in the White House
for the ensuing four years.
It is rather a mean joke for Oregon to
play on Colorado ; but Joe Bonn recent

Canyon City, some fine yellow egg
plums, and Gus thought they were .nice
enough to put on exhibition at the state
fair there, without giving away their
nativity. Of course the plums didn't do
a thing but draw first prize, the blue
ribbon, and it is now in order for the
Coloradoans to get up a big immigra
tion boom on the strength of its egg
plums.
Saturday night ie fixed as the limit on
bids for eupplying a poatoffice building
in The Dalles, including the furnishing
of fixtures of modern pattern, light and
fuel for the term of five years. No pro
vision has been made for advertising for
these bids and it was quite by accident a
Chronicle reporter heard of it. There
yet remains two days for owners of va
cant business blocks in The Dalles to
inquire into the specifications and make
an estimate upon what is required. The
bida are to be sent to Washington City,
A Moonlight Drive.
The beautiful moonlight last evening
was enjoyed to the fullest extent by a
party consisting of those who composed
the camping crowd at' Stevenson this
summer. Miss Enright bad invited
them to have a reunion, as they sup
posed, at her home at the residence of
Mr. Jess Blakeney ; but- what, was their
surprise when ' the wagonette drew up
and their hostess asked them to join
her in a coaching party.- Taking what
is called the river road and coming back
by the way of Chenowetl, made a de
lightf ul drive, while the , treasure of the
two weeks spent together was recalled.
On their return theyyfere again sur
prised by being invited fk to partake of
refreshments, which, thfciifch differing
somewhat from camp fare, gave them
an opportunity to prove that tQy bad
not lost camp appetites! and was
ending for a perfect evehing spent by

A RICH SPECIMEN.
Chonck of Free Gold Ore
. Worth X li o its KnilN a Xon.
Found
An incipient mining excitement was
created this moruiog by the discovery
by Mr. Freeman, one of the cement side
walk builders, of a valuable piece of
quartz which was contained in a load of
dirt hauled up from Mill creek, near the
big iron bridge on Fourth street, for use
in building the walk. Mr. Freeman was
tamping thedfrt when he discovered the
quartz, and washing it with water, there
was $2 or $3 of free gold in plain sight,
as pretty a piece as ever came out of the
ground. The find caused quite a tem
porary excitement, but it soon became
apparent that the specimen was far from
its original location, and Mill creek gold
stock will not go up in consequence. It
is variously assigned by old miners, of
which there are several in The Dalles,
to come anywhere from a ledge ' in the
Cascades to the north pole. If one can
find the ledge be will find rock that will
eid two or three thousand dollars to
the ton. It is a decomposed quartz, and
different then any rock ever discovered
in this immediate vicinity.
Two other finds of rich rock have been
made ' in the past in this accidental
fashion.. About four years ago Mr.
Ralph Gibons' boy found a piece of
quartz,, resembling the . Virtue ore,
which is even richer than the- specimen
found this morning.' It is a white, crystal-like
ore, . with gold sparkling in
abundance over one end ot it. This
piece was found in Mill creek, near Mrs.
Thornbury's residence.
Some years ago, in some lirt tLat was
hauled to Ninth and Pentland streets to
build the old military road, which runs
past that point, there was found a large
slug of rock ' rich iu silver. It was
broken up and scattered before its worth
was discovered, and now no one knows
where it came from.
Republican Speaking;.
The first orators from abroad for the
November, campaign will address our
citizens at the court house tonight in the
interests of the Republican party. Both
men stand high in the estimation of the
people of their localities, and come to us
with a well-earned reputation for ora
tory. They will give demonstration by
their presence and their words that the
great state which adjoins, us ; on the
north has not been swayed from their
old Republican moorings by the craze of
free silver and the party of repudiation
Those who hear them who are already
persuaded that the good times of 1892
can only return under Republican ad'
ministration will be strengthened ' in
their opinion and those who have not
the necessary information at hand to
form an opinion will discover many
very good reasons for voting the Repnb
lican ticket by coming to the court
bouse tonight. . .
Indians Guilty of Trespass. '..
Justice Rorick decided yesterday that
the two Indians arraigned for trespass
were guilty and fined them (5 each. -
The Indians were arraigned at the in
stance of Winans Bros, for crossing their
lands in pursuit of their occupation ot
fishing. The Indians claimed this priv
ilege under their treaty rights. The
prosecutfon claimed that title to the
lands had passed from the government
without the reservation of rights to the
Indians. It therefore forms a test caee
to prevent all Indians from going through
such enclosures. Citing the recent de
cision of Judge Hanford - in . Spokane,
Justice Rorick held that the Winans
Bros, had the right to fence their en
closures and to keep Indians from cross
ing thereon. The defendants were
therefore found guilty and sentenced to
$5 each. Huntington & Wilson were at
torneys for the prosecution and E. B.
Dufur for the defense. ,
Since the opening of the ca3e the Win
ans Bros, have acquired title from the
state of' Washington to the lands upon
which the Indians were fishing, and an
other case may arise in the matter over
the validity of Winans' new holdings.
The Blorniug: Dispatch. , .
The Morning Dispatch made its ap
pearance this morning, ana makes a
modeBt bid for. public patronage in a
well-written salutatory, claiming that
inasmuch as there are two evening
dailies, it will fill a long-felt want. The
paper is well filled with local and gen
eral news, and being free politically to
endorse or condemn platforms and poli
ticians of whatever stripe, will adjust
itself readily to the good graces of its
patrons. Though three' dailies for The
Dalles seems a bit like "crowding the
mourners," we welcome our new cotem-
porary and wish it success. '
