The case of the State against Clemens,
charged with larceny from a dwelling,
in stealing from Charley Haight's '
house, is on trial today. Mr. Fred Wil- j
sou appears for the defense.
The river is falling very slowly, being
at the 41.7 mark this morning. The re- j
ports from up the river indicate a fall for
several days, followed by a rise, but it is j
safe to say the highest point has been
reached.
A flock of about 1000 sheep was carried t
over into Klickitat county this morning, j
bound for the Ml. Adams ranges. Thei
Washington quarantine law had been j
complied with, they having been quar-:
antined for sixty days. !
F Porter was taken before City Re- j
corder Phelps this morning charged with i
stealing a pair of scales from Charley

it over to the grand jury.
The wharf boat recently brought here
was the property of the etate of Oregon,
it having been used in connection with
the portage road at the Cascade?, but it
is eo no longer. It was ollered for pale
recently, and the bid of the I). I'. & X.
Co. being the highest, the boat in now
that company's property.
Travel across the Cascades is begin
ning much earlier this season than last,
"ays the Prineville Roview. Already'
parties with pack teams have crossed
by the McKenzie route, and though they
encountered considerable snow, it wae
hard. It is thought that regular travel
will begin iii a week's time.
Howard Harvey, while riding a wild
bucking horse near Douglas Belts' ranch,
heyoud Pilot Rock, in Umatilla county,
last Sunday evening, was thrown and re
ceived very serious Injuries. Harvey
(ell on his head and an examination by
the physicians showed concussion of the

I old and is a son of Mrs. Scott, who lives
i
. a few miles beyond Belts' ranch,

tery, was called before Justice Filloon

complaining witness, the assault and
' battery being alleged to have been com
mitted upon Mr. Koontz' son.
i Ycstetday afternoon an Indian named
Dan Butler was ariested for cruelty to
animals. He had a miserable, poor,
broken-down cayuse, atilicted with ring
bone, spavin, scratches, and nearly
every other disease that has, or had, the
temerity to tackle an Indian horse. The
Indian tried to lead, then to drive the
animal, and as neither of these plans
was successful, he got on the poor beast's
back, where he could hammer it at his
ease, which he proceeded to do until he
was arrested. lie was fined flO this
morning for his fun.
At Mays &. Crowe's store last night
the new lamps Eaid to have been in
vented by Mr. Parrott of Goldendale,
were given a trial. We say new lamps,
since the burners have globes and look
like lamps, but the material used is gas,
generated from gasoline. The fixtures
were rather crude, being put up to test
the system, yet the lights were certainly
very bright and beautiful, and should
they prove to be cheap, they will solve
the problem of lighting small towns,
and perhaps prove a formidable rival to
the electric plants. Up to date, how
ever, they have not been tested suffi
ciently to base an opinion as to their
merits on.

We, the members of J. W. Neemith
Woman's Relief Corps, Xo. 17, desire to
express our sympathy to the bereaved,
and our loss of a member, in the passing
beyond of Jennie Russell-Rufeno.
Reared and nuitured in the principles
of our order, she was ever interested and
ready at any time to aid in carrying on
the work. And now, on the approach of
our memorial services, we are saddened
at the thought of her absence from us :
but as she eo beautifully said two years
aao, while gathered around the monu
ment, "Cover them over with beautiful
flowers," we take it as a privilege to
visit her rebting place and call back to
memory her worde, so full of tenderness
and emotion.
Rest in peace, dear Jennie, and me
morial day will always find our willing
hands ever ready to cover the dear spot
"with beautiful flowers."

SCENE OF DESOLATION.
Ilouxex Swi'iit Auny mill 1'ai'iiiH ICulni'il
liy it Cloud Ituikt.
United Slates Conunissiouer Uutler
returned yesterday from u trip to teveral
Washington cities aud infonned ii Tri
bune reporter of a destructive cloud
burst which hnd occurred lust Thursday
of Asotin, Wash. "Tho valley of Asotin
creel:, until Thursday afternoon tho
garden spot of Asotin county, is now a
scene of desolation, ruin and destruc
tion," he save.
Tho following account .is taken from
tho Sentinel of which Mr. Uutler had
come in possession :
While a gentle shower of ruin was fall
ing in Asotin Thursday between 1 and
2 o'clock a destructive cloud burst oc
curred in the mountains at the head of
one of the tributary branches of Asotin
creek, sending a body ol water 15 feet
high down into the valley that swept al
most every movable object before it, de
stroying homes und farms and drowning
stock.
At this time it is impostrihlu to esti
mate the loss hut it Hitfc. to say that
$100,000 could not repair the damage.
Five wagon bridges across Asotin
creek wereswept out excepting one span
ol the bridge near tho Asotin park,
The noiso made by the rushing ton cut
was heard fully five minutes before it
reached hero which was about 4 o'clock.
At llrbt it sounded like the low moan of
the wind and gradually increased to the
noise made on a still night by a train of
cars passing over a high trestlo or
bridge, in another instant, a big muddy
wave 10 feet high, carrying trees tim
bers, fencing and trash came rolling
down the stream spreading out over its
hanks. Then came another swell fol
lowed by still another, until the water
was fully 15 feet deep.
So far as lea-ned, no human lives were
lost, but some miraculous escapes are re
corded. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Green were
on the hanks of the stream in their
orchard and Mr. Green hearing the
noise made by the approaching water,
remarked to his wife that that sounded
like a cloud burst. His wife laughed at
tho idea of a cloud burst while the sun
was shining, but in another instant the
huge wave was within sight. Mrs.
Green wae eo scared she could not move,
Her husband made a rush for her and
grabbed her und just then the water
wept them both down, tumbling them
over twice, Mr. Green held his wife
with one hand and with the other
