Saturday the steamer lone made her
flnal trip on the upper river. Her owners
found that to cut rateB and try to take
business away from the line of boats al
ready established by the p'aple, was
not a paying businees. We understand
that during the time the lone plied be
tween thistuty and Portland, her own-,
era lost over $1,000 in the venture,,
and as their expense seemed to be oil the !
inereabo rather than on the decrease,'
they acted wisely in putting their'
boat back on the old run.
last night there was a union meeting
of the different churches at the Method
ist church in the interest of the Crit
tenden Refuge Home. Mrs. N. E.
lloxter of Portland spoke iu behalf of
the home, and so much earnestness and
feeling were put into the address as she
told of the wonderful work beiug ac
complished by this institution in Port
land, that a renewed interest was awak
ened, and when asked for a contribution
tho audience responded willingly. One
branch of their work, which has proven

THE FOOT BALL GAME.
Tbe Kaiubler Win tiy a Score of Six to
Four.
The game was lively throughout and
well attended, considering the haste
witli which it was gotten up, and the
uncertainty about the whole matter un
til the day before it was played. As is
the case in all foot ball games, the en
thusiasts crowded the front rows, while
those taking less interest remained more
in the background, and the fences and
housetops were lined with men and
boys anxionB to get a free view of the
game.
The game waft called promptly at 3
o'clock, our boys having the choice of
goals. Portland was given the kick oil".
During the greater part of the first half
the game was doubtful, when Portland
succeeded in gettiug a touch down and
kicking a goal, which made the score
six to nothing at tho end of the first
half. In the last half the playing was
lively on both sides and the time was
almost up when one of the Portland
boys made a furnblo which gaveou.1 boys
a touclrdown, but they failed to kink a
goal, and when time was called the Ecore
stood six to four in favor of Portland.
The following are the players.

DESPERATE CHARACTER KILLED
Barry Hessy lteslsts the Dalles Officers
ami Id Shot.
Friday morning a man by the name
of Williams informed Nightwatcbman
Wiley that he had come into town with
a man whom he knew to be a desperate
character, and whom he suspected from
his conversation, was the man who had
broke jail at Oregon City j tew days,
ago. ' Williams 'said that he met him at
Troutdale and traveled with him from
that place. Deputy Sheriff Kelly tele
graphed to Chief of Police Burns of Ore
gon City, and was informed that the es
caped man's name was Harry Hesee and
his description tallied exactly.
About 4 o'clock in. the afternoon Night
watchman Wiley, Coroner ButtB and
Special Deputy William Spencer went
up to where Hessy was camped, near
the company's ice-house, east of town. I
fepeneer was the nrst to accost turn, and
he made him believe that he was a
tramp and conversed with him for some
time. When Wiley and Butts came up
the desperado did not seem to think
that they were officers, and it was not
until Wiley and Spencer had their guns
leveled at hiiajjiat he suspected who
they were. When ordered to throw up
his hands, he hastily drew a 44-calihru
Colts, and wbb about to level it on Mr.
Butts, when Wiley and Spencer, as a
last resort, fired, and the desperado fell
over on ins tace with a bullet in Ins
brain, it having entered the left temple
and passed through the head, shattering
the skull on the right side, hut did not
come through.
He was takon to Crandall & Burgett's
undertaking parlors aud an inquest
held, tho tollowing being tbe verdict:
The Dai.i.ks, Dec. 31, 1S97.
Wo, the undersigned, impaneled as a
cononer's jury to Inquire into tho facts
surrounding the death of an unknown
man, whose body is now before us, find
as follows :
That tho n ami) of tho deceased, so far
as wo are able to ascertain, 5s Harry
Hessy, an escaped convict from the O lo
gon City jail, and wanted tliero for vio
lating the law, being at tho time of his
death a felon. We find his personal
dress to be as follows: Black stilt,
frock coat, black shirt, black fedora hat
congress Bhoes; weight about 170; age
about 21 ; wore two largo checkered
KhirtH anil drawers, brown overcoat, and
was light coinplexloned, From the dif
ferent articles taken from his person, we
believe him to be a highwayman and
a desperate character.
Wo. find that ho ninio to his death
while resisting and undertaking to kill
ollicers of tho law while in discharge of
their lawful duties iu seeking to arrest
him under request of tho chief of police
of Oregon City, Or.
We aho lluil that the shooting which
led to his death on the part of the
officers, J. J. Wiley and William Spen
cer, was perfectly justifiable on their
part, and necessary to preserve their
own lives; and we not only exonerate
them from all blame for causing the
death of the deceased, hut we commend
them for their niompt action in saving
themselves and bringing to a close the
life of one who is a dangerous and mur
derous person, and one who should not
be allowed to roam the land at liberty,
and who was, in fact, eluding ofiiceis of
the law of other places, where he was

Chief of Police Burns of Oregon City
arrived Saturday evening and identified
the pistol, underclothing, overcoat, hat,
shoes, and in fact everything that
Hessy had except his mask, that being
the only article found on his person that
he did not have when ho broke jail.
Mr. Guise of Woodburn, whose store
Hessy robbed, had offered $20 reward
for his arrest, which is a small recom
pense for the danger our officers in
curred in attempting to arrest such a
man. His brother, who helped him to
commit the Woodburn robbery, is at
present in jail in Salem.
