AFTER LIVELY FIRING
Horsethieves Captured by
Wallowa County Officers.
ONE OF FORMER SHOT IS THE HEAD
Druggist In Enterprise, Or.. Attacked
by a Woman with an Umbrella,
and Uot by a Lawyer.
La Gbande, Oct. 8. Particulars of a
battle between horsethieves and deputy
sheriffs in Wallowa county, were re
ceived by telephone from Enterprise to
day. A few days ago two men, George and
Henry Smith, passed through the Im
naha with a band of horses, supposed to
have been stolen, and camped on Car
rail creek. A day or so afterward a
warrant was issued for their arrest. ' It
was feared they wonld resist, and five
men were sent out to bring them in.
The camp was easily located, and Henry
Smith was found in it and captured by
strategy. Four officers went to camp,
leaving a fifth in charge of the horses.
The officers carried no arms in sight,
and the horse thief did not suspect them.
Bo that when they asked to see bis pistol,
he passed it over for inspection. The
pistol was then turned on him. and , he
was compelled to hold up his bands. He
was then taken away from the camp and
left in charge of an officer. - !; .
Two nf th nffirern started out to find
the other brother, and one was left to
watch the camp. ' George Smith re
turned to the camp and "got the drop"
on the officer, and held him up. He

and proceeded to march the officer np
the trail. After proceeding a ebort dis
tance, he met the two officers who were
looking 4or him. The officers opened
fire, which was returned by Smith, but
none of the shots took effect. The of
ficers then took refuge behind trees, and
Smith fired. four shots at them, three of

Smith had a prisoner, fell to the ground
as soon as the firing began, to escape the
stray bullets.
The shooting cooled the ardor of the
officers somewhat,' and they turned their
efforts toward keeping the trees between
themselves and the horsethief. While
the horsethief was trying to gel another

officer that had been left with the horses
came up and shot the horsethief "in the
bead with a shotgun, lie bad heard tne
firing and came up just in time to relieve
bis brother officers from an nnpleasant
position. '
IVANBOI TO Tilt RESCUE.
Saw a Man and Wo tun a Strug-rUna-, and
' Shot tne Man.
La Grande, Oct. 8. At Enterprise,
in Wallowa county, today, F. S. Ivan
hoe shot and seriously wounded R. C,
Gregg. M. Ivanhoe is a well-known at'
torney, and Mr. Gregg is a druggist,
The report received by telephone says
that Mrs. J. W. Dalzell and Gregg were
having trouble over Mrs. Dalzell 'a eon,
and Mrs. Dalzell had assaulted Gregg
with an umbrella., In attempting' to
disarm her, Gregg broke the umbrella,
and a scrimmage resulted. Mrs. Dalzell
continued the assault, and, in protecting
himself, Gregg used considerable force.
Just at that time ' Ivanhoe appeared,
and, seeing, as be supposed, a man as
saulting a woman, took a shot at the
man. The first time he missed, but the
second shot struck Gregg in the leg, in
flicting a severe wound. The bullet was
recovered by physicians this afternoon.
.Unless blood-Doisoning sets in, no seri
ous results are apprehended. ,

THEIR HOPES SHATTERED.
Two Old Prospectors Find a Quicksilver
Mine.
San Francisco, Oct.- 8. For a short
time yesterday Christian Soli and John
P. Green, two old prospectors, believed
they said good-bye to poverty and had
jumped into riches that clouded the
fame of Monte Cristo from view. They
were the possessors, they were confident,
by means of 1 filing a mine claim ou a
portion of the ocean shore near the Cliff
house, of the richest quicksilver mine in
the world. A moderate estimate of its
value they thought would reach $10,000,
000, and, as the ledge was on property
owned bv Adolpn ; Sutro, as they
thought, they believed they conld ac
quire it under the mining law. .
The dream was short-lived. They had
scarcely left the city hall, after filing
their mineral nitice, when they learned
that they had located on a piece on the
Presidio, instead of the possessions of
mayor. ; With this knowledge away
went skimtuering dreams of untold
wealth, for title to military reservations
is beyond the reach of the caveat of the
law regarding mining claim's. -.
But even in the face of. the disheart
ening turn of fortune, Green and Soli
still hope, although an inscrutable and
immutable hand had banished them like
Adam from-their Eden.. They hope
that the government will allow them to'
develop as much of their claim as lies
between the lines of high and low tide,
for even with this morsel, from the feaet
they think they can acquire wealth
enough for all practical purposes. ' '
II U HAKRIER IS DEAD.
Author of "Trilby" Passes Away in
Ijondon.
London, Oct. 8. George Du Maurier,
artist, novelist, author of "Trilby," died
at 2 :30 o'clock this morning. , "
His end was painless.': ' He passed
away surrounded by bis friends. For
days be has been, hovering ; between life
and death, at intervals conversing with
friends regarding his work.
Upon one occasion a' friend at the
dying man's bedside referred to the suc
cess of "Trilby" as a book and a play,
whereupon Du Maurier replied :
- "Yea, it has been successful, but pop
ularity has killed me at last." ' J
One of Da Manner's friends who was
present at his death said :
"He died almost as tragically as Sven
gali. At the zenith of Trilby's fame
Svengali became the victim of an affec
tion of the. heart. .. Du Maurier 'has gone
the same, way. At the; zenith of his
popularity the author has succumbed to
heart trouble from which he has always
suffered, his suffering being accentuated
by a constant succession ot exciting in
cidents in which the closing few months
of his life were spent.' Checks rained in
upon him as his old heart trouble in
creased. 'This, complicated by an affec
tion of the lungs,' took him off.''. "

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease . that science has
been able to cure ain all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity- .Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional . treatment. . Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally,' acting directly
upon the blood und mucous surtaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of . the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
