rank Heater was arrested this morn
ing on complaint of T. J. Driver, who
charges him with stealing ahorse valued
at $25, the same being the property of
B. Parodi. He was arraigned in the re
corder's court this afternoon and enter
ed a plea of not guilty. The trial of the
case is set to follow that of Budd
Robbins Thursday afternoon. Heater
was arrested last night by Night-watch
man Wiley, but when he arrived at the
jail he broke away, followed by Wiley,
who fired at him two or three times. He
escaped in the darkness but was caughtd
at home this morning about 5 o'clock by
W lley and Sheriff Driver. Heater seems
determined to get into trouble, generally
caused by drinking, and it is only a
question of time, if he does not chauge
his ways, until he is sent below.
One of Ch'as. Hilton's bands of sheep.4
in charge of Geo. Caven of Fossil, was
shot into on the nights of July 2d and
3d, near the head of Kabler Basin. On
the night ot the 2d the herder's cabin
was surrounded and twenty-five pistol
shots fired into the band, killing one
sheep. On the night of the 3d the mis
creants returned and again shot into the
band, killing four sheep. On this night
the herder stepped outside, and part of
the gang surrounded him while the
others did the shooting. Next day
George pulled out of there with the
sheep, as he didn't think the climate
quite suited him. George threw np his
job, and a new herder, a Frenchman,
was sent back to Kahler Basin with the
sheep. There is bad blood between the
cattlemen and farmers of that locality
and the sheepmen of Gilliam and Mor
row counties who take their sheep onto
government land in that section for sum
mer range, and it is not unlikely that
human blood will be spilt ere a stop be
put to these dastardly outrages. Fossil

TOO LATE FOR THIS SEASON.
Sensible Words Concerning the Clon
dyke Excitement.
A dispatch from Port Townsend under
date of July 18tb, says :
"The excitement here in regard to the
fabulous richness of the Clondyke mines
is on the increase, although only a lew
of the most enthusiastic will start the
present season for" the famous fields.
To start now a person cannot possibly
reach the Yukon or Clondyke region be
fore the middle or probably the 25th of
'August, and those who have been there
assert that the working season closes
never later than the first of September,
nor opens before the middle of June,
leaving in the most favorable seasons
only ten weeks of working time. Those
who Btart in now will have nine months
in which to eat np provisions before they
can possibly do any work, and only
those who have claims located can make
a success of thawing dirt and water and
taking out gold by the fireside. TboBe
who start north not later than May 1st
will stand as good a show for striking
good things as those who eo now and

The marriage was quite of the roman
tic and sentimental variety, taking place
in the shadow of the tall rock near the
old garrison grounds, in the presence of
about a hundred people. After the cer
emony the couple bad their pictures
taken with the big rock as a background,
and the crowd, not to be outdone,
grouped around and over the rock and
had another picture taken. In the even,
ing, to do proper honor to the event, the
tin-pan brigade gave the bride and

"shivarees" ever heard in The Dalles.
