for fall Eowing, which this rain will
bring up immediately.

if robberies were perpetrated and offi

Last week a meeting of the members
of the circulating library was held at
the home of Mrs. Chas.' Hilton, when
Mrs. W. Mansfield, (nee Owen) kindly
offered to donate the books now in the
library if they saw fit to start a public
library in the city, at the same time
speaking of the great benefit which may
be derived from such an institution..
Appreciating the generous offer, and
thinking very favorably of the proposi-
Stion, a meeting was held at the home
of Mi98 Michell last evening to nerfect
arrangements. It was decided to accept
he library, and at the eame time the
indness of Messrs. Blakeley & Hough
ton in giving them space in their drug
store where the library may be kept un
til better quarters can be obtained. No
membership fee will be charged, but
25 cents a month dues, with which new
books will be purchased.

Monday, Agent Harper, of the Umatilla
reservation, and a number of Indian po
lice, armed with firearms, with threats
of violence, it is alleged, if ' their com
mands were not obeyed, evicted the
family of Duncan Mclntyre from a house
occupied by them on the Julious St.
Dennis estate, on the reservation, and
huddled the belongings of the family
out of doors. While proceeding with
the work, Polieceman Cristo, it is said,
thrust the point of a gun against the
brea?t of William Musgrove, and Agent
Harper at the eame time reached dovn
to his hip pocket for his gun. The cause
of the action cannot be learned and the
outcome is hard to conjecture. The
place from which Mr. Mclntyre and his
family were evicted was leased by Mat
Muegrove, December 2, 1895, for five
years, from the legal agent of the St.
Dennis estate, and the lease was ap
proved by the secretary of the interior,
January 4, 1896. Mr. Duncan was liv
ing on the place and taking care of Mas
grove's interests.

COLONEL SINNOTT DEA.
Well-Known and Estimable Pioneer
Citizen Passes Away In Portland.
the news came from Portland this
mbrning that Colonel Sinnott was dead.
While the announcement caused no
su rprise to those who had watched his
failing condition the past week, yet the
fe lings of everyone were wrenched with
soi row at the intelligence. Few men
bsh such a hold on the regard and affec
tion of a community as had Colonel Sin
nott, and there will be none to whom
his death does not come in the manner
of a personal bereavement.
For . several years his health had not
been satisfactory, and some for weeks
ago he was taken to St. Vincent's hos-
iital in Portland with the hope that a
sArgical operation would' yield the
idnged-for results. Everything that
iqedical skill and loving attention could
d for him was done, and for a time it
seemed as if the outcome would prove
favorable, but unlooked-for complica
tions set in, till it became apparent that
his work in life would soon be over. At
o'clock this morning the end came
eacefully. Although for years he had
been a constant sufferer, death crreeted
him kindlytand his last days upon earth
were all that his friends could wish for
him. Around bis bedaidn warn C7n.t-.h-
ered his devoted wife and children, while
the sympathy of the community was
manifest at every opportunity.
The funeral, it ie expected, will
take place next Sunday, the remains
being brought home for burial. Be
sides bis wife, Mr. Sinnott leaves
three children Mollie, the wife of J. S.
Fish, Nicholas and Roger, one child,
Kitty, having died several years ago.
The death of Colonel Sinnott marks
the severance of the past from the pres
ent in the history of The Dalles. He
was one of the few men who came to
this place when it was but a straggling
village, and who has remained actively
in business from that time on. We
regret we have not more data concern
ing bis early life, but the fact of his
family being in Portland has prevented
access to information that everyone
would wish to known.
iOionei sinnott was nearrtnTlhe aev
entietu milestone when death came, and
for thirty-six years had been' a resident
of The DallesJWhen not quite 21 be
came to America from County Wexford,
Ireland, and settled first in Peoria, 111.
Remaining there about three years, he
came to the Pacific coast and followed
mining for a year or more, being one of
those who attended the first excitement
in the Salmon river mines. After a
year's residence in Portland, be came to
The Dalles, and with Daniel Handley,
his partner for many years, purchased
the Umatilla House, paying $40 in cash
and assuming a debt of $5000 for the bal
ance of the payment. Together with
Mr. Handley he conducted this hotel
until the names Handley and Sinnott
became famous throughout the Pacific
coast, What memories their names call
to mind For thirty years they worked
side by side in the closest of, friendship,

and now they both are gone, and the
places that knew them once, mourn
their absence.
Colonel Sinnott dead ! This announce
ent will make heavy hearts wherever
e wires flash the sad tidings. Many
poor working man, who, when needing
iends and seemingly having none - till
e went to this generous-hearted man
nd received substantial comfort, will
draw his rough coat across his eyes and
brush away a tear. Many a heart that
has been comforted and cheered by Mr.
Sinnott's genial sympathy, will beat the
duller today because of the friend that
is gone. His kindly presence will be
missed, and those who have counted it
a pleasure to greet him daily and re
ceive a word of .pleasant recognition,
will look for bim in accustomed places,
and not seeing bim, will turn away the
sadder. -
That life can be called the most suc
cessful which has broegbt to itself the
warm affection of intimate associates.
In this has the career of Colonel Sinnott
been well rounded. Generous, broad
minded, with a sympathy as wide as the
world itself and reaching out for all its
creatures, hie was a character men loved
to honor, and the friends who mourn for
him today are not limited to years or
place. Young and old were his iriends,
as he was their's, and in the years to
come the speaking of his name will re
call pleasant memories.
Warm-hearted friend, the day is done.
The river of life that carries us all on its
ceaseless flow, has borne you to the ulti
mate harbor, and the long, long journey
is finished. Your work is done, and
well has the task been accomplished.
We that are left pause at the thresbhold
to add our word of sorrow and say the
last, lingering farewell. From the
Ehadows of evening you have naseed
into the sunlight, and the memory you
have left is the choicest heritage of your
friends.
The Regulator Kobbed.
Last night about 8 o'clock some per
sons got aboard the steamer Regulator,
and as there was no one in the rear
part on the lower deck, they helped
themselves to whatever struck them as
ing of practical use. Two suits of
lptbes, a coat and vest and a watch
ave already been missed,' and probably
ther things have been taken which will
be noticed later.
A boat belonging to a fisherman was
also stolen, and the supposition is that
the robber entered through the hole
alongside of the pitmanNon the starboard
side. It is thought that after the arti
cles bad been taken the thieves dropped
down the river and probably boarded
the train below this place. In case they
are on the river below here today, Cap
tain, Wauu will pick them up on his
Way to Portland and hold them pris
oners.
