There was a lively runaway ,in the
East End this morning. A four-horse
team took a little trip of its own, start
ing from in front of E. J. Collins & Co.'s
and coming to a atop back of J. T.
Peters place. The end of their run was
a woodshed, where horses, wagon and
everything else went crashing through
the timbers. The only occupant of the
shed was a hen, who was engaged in a
laodible effort to hatch a brood of young
chicks. The timbers went smashing
around her, but she Btnck to her job re
gardless of the ruin around her, and
never stirred from her nest, even when
the wreck was being collected.
The Oregonian gives the following re
cipe for losing a pound a day : A "man
about town" who has been living on the
fat of the land and doing nothing, found
himself taking on too much adipose tis
sue. Concluding there was no royal
road to getting rid of this incumbrance,
he Btruck out for the country, chopped
brush ten hours a day, and every even
ing bathed in the creek, and at the end
of eighteen days found he bad reduced
his weight eighteen pounds. He slept
like a log, and was cured of snoring, and
has come back to town feeling like a new
man. To all wbo are oyerburned with
fat he says, "Go thou and do likewise."
It is safer, better and more effective than
anti-fat or any other nostrum.

THE MURDERED CHILD FOUND.
It Was Bnrled Sear the Foot of
Montgomery Gulch.
At last the story of "Sandy" Soper's
local crimes is complete, for which Dr.
Kessler, of the East Side, is entitled to
credit.
When the murderer arrived in Mis
souri, to answer for the murder of his
former wife and two children there,
about six years ago, he wrote to his
heart-broken wife here, to the effect
that when he deserted her, on the 16tb
of last April, taking their 2-year-old
child with him, he killed it, and buried
the remains at the foot of Tillamook
street. Search was made for the little
body at the spot designated, but no
corpse was found. Df. Kessler, who
manifested, a measure of humane in
terest in the case, for the purpose of re
lieving Mrs. Soper's suspense, who
vainly hoped that her child might yet
be alive, wrote to Soper for a more defi
nite location of the burial-place of the
little body. On Friday he received a
reply from the unnatural and unreliable
murderer, bat the information was not
measurably clearer than the first ob
tained from him.
However, the rest of that day, Dr.
Kessler searched the foot of Montgomery
gulch, without success. The search was
resumed in the thick brush on Saturday,
and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon he dis
covered a small mound near the month
of the gulch, from which he brought
forth the murdered infant. It was cov
ered by a comparatively thin layer of
earth. The body was so badly decom
posed that, at the time, the manner in
which its life bad been taken could not
be satisfactorily settled. However, it
was identified as having been the Soper
child by its raiment, which was the same
it bad on when taken from home by
the inhuman father on its death journey.
The coroner soon thereafter took charge
of the remains.
This cruel blow to Mrs. Soper's never
nagging hope that her cnild was not
dead, has rendered the unhappy woman's
illness very precarious.
CHILD WAS BURIED ALIVE.
At 9 :30 o'clock this morning an in'
quest was held over the remains of the
poor little body, that represented the
work of either a diabolical murderer or
that of an insane man.
The inquest but added to the horror of
the crime.
The child had been buried alive!
Dr. Kessler, in his evidence, showed
conclusively that Soper attempted to
strangle the little one, and as it relaxed
into unconsciousness believed he had
accomplished his horrible work. The
murderer then proceeded to bury the
body. A hollow grave was dug and the
Btill unconscious infant placed in it.
The child's cap was then drawn over its
face and dirt and brush piled upon the
body. Soper then left the scene.
Hardly had he reached the top of the
trail, according to Dr. Kessler, before
the child revived, and working its baby
hand free from the weight of dirt and
debris holding it down, tore away the

strength was, however, insufficient to
raise the load pressing the poor little
body down. That the child struggled.
is shown in the contorted position of
the limbs as the child lay in- its rude

The verdict of the coroner's jury was
death by strangulation and suffocation,
charging Soper with the murder. Tele

THE GILMORE BAND.
The Dalles Geta Avtj With the Honors
and Lemonade.
One of the most attractive features of
the great Fourth of July celebration at
Portland was our Dalles Indians, twenty
four of whom went down on the Regula
tor yesterday morning. Their chief was
Bill Gil more, mayor of Grand Dalles.
Through the kindness of ex-sheriff, Tom
Ward, who kindly loaned him bis In
dian masquerade suit, Bill was enam
el led in the highest style of the art, be'
ing a genuine incarnadine mostly red.
They carried a banner, displaying the
colors of the Regulator line, and, of
course, bad the best of the display
They were taken in small boats to the
Monterey and Monaduock and serenaded
the crews of those big war vessels.
It is said they were treated to lemonade
and cider, but that Bill was heard to re
mark in the purest Indian dialect that the
lush was thin." At the same time
the reception committee refused to pene
trate his disguise, and save his life with
an offer of something more substantial.
It is said that these noble savages
struck up those two weird Indian
chants, "We Won't Go Home 'Till
Morning" and the "Cruisken Lawn,"
which they sang to the queen's taste
after they got tuned up.
Indian Bill and his company are ex
pected home this evening.
Yakima's fame is spreading. The
other day a youth of Seattle, bubbling
over with patriotism, while crazed with
liquor, created a great scare in that usu
ally quiet city. With a long knife in his
belt and a gun in each hand, which he
held aloft, ever and anon, pulling the
triggers, be rushed into the street, and
with a terrible warwhoop and scream
shouted between breaths: "I'm the
wild man from Yakima." He was caged
by the police.
