rOR THE MURDER OF HAYDEN.
I'reliniluary Kxainlnntlnn nf "Dakota
Slim" Jteeun ut Colfax.
Robert McDonald, known as Dakota
Slim, was taken before Justice Kirkland
in Colfax Tuesday morning for prelimi
nary examination for the murder of Or
ville Hayden, near Farmington, October
22, 1897. McDonald is the man who es
caped lynching at tne hands of a mob
last month. A number of witnesses were
examined.
The principal witness was Dan Couch,
who positively identified McDonald as
the man who held him up and robbed
him and afterward held up young Hay
den, when the latter was shot, Couch's
story is that he was in the Klondike
saloon, just eaBt of Farmington, until 9
o'clock on the night of October 22J. He
left the saloon to go to Farmington. As
he stepped out of the building, he saw
two men in the road, ten feet away, fac
ing hitn. The taller man, whom he
identified as the prisoner, pointed :i pis
tol at his head and said :
"Throw up your bands, or I'll kill
you."
He threw up his hands, when the tall
man led him down the road towaid
Farmington. After being robbed, Couch
was made to lie down by the fence. Half
an hour afterward the two men held up
and robbed Carl Hayden, who was
placed with Couch by the ience. Short
ly after 11 o'clock that night, Orville
and Dan Huydui and Frank Rector came
out of the saloon and walked toward the
parties in the road. They were halted
and told to throw up their hands. Im
mediately after this command was given
the smaller man, supposed to bo
"Blacky," who was lynched January
10th, fired two shots. Orville Hayden
and Rector both fled to the saloon. Dan
Hayden was seaiched and his money
taken, when he, Carl Hayden and Couch
were told to run, and did so. On reach
ing the saloon, Couch says he saw Or
ville Hayden lying on the Uoor with a
bullet wound in hia body above the
heurt. He died 10 minutes later.
Couch stated that the first time he
saw McDonald after the murder, was In
the jail here. He recognized him ut
once.
N. T. Coffin, a detective, told the sto
ry, of u confession made to h!m by
"Blacky," in which the latter stated
that he und McDonald wero the high
waymen, and that he filed the shot that
killed Orville Havdoii.
The preliminary examination was re
sumed yesterday ufternoon.

HER SUFFERING ENDED.
Sllsa
Kdlth Schmidt l'aaseg Away This
Afternoou.
This atteruoon the grim hand of
deatli grasped another victim from our
midst in the person of Miss Edith
Schmidt, who died peacefully at about
2 ?80 o'clock.
Miss Schmidt has beun ailing for about
five yeare, her sickness having begun
with bronchial trouble, which afterwards
developed into that dread disease, con
sumption. Three years ago she went to
Thornix, Arizona, artd the change of cli
mate greatly relieved her. After re
maining about a year in that place, she
returned home much improved, and her
many friends thought for a time that
she would regain her health. The dis
ease was not cured, however, and soon
she began to fail. Although everything
available was done for her, her physi
cians saw that it was only a mutter of a
short time until tiie end would come.
For tho last two weeks she has been
too weak to arise from her bed, and
about 6 o'clock this morning those who
wero attending her saw that she could
last but a few hours. From that time
until she died ehe was unconscious and
did not seem to suller any pain what
ever. Edith Schmidt was born in The Dalles
December 20, 1875, and was consequent
ly but 22 years, 1 month and 28 days
old. She has spent nearly all her lifo
in ttils city, and was of such a kind and
loving disposition that ehe wns a favor
ite of all who knew her, especially
among tho young people with whom she
associated.
She leaves a father, mother, ono sis
ter, Alma Schmidt, and three brothers,
Victor, Charles and Adolph. Victor is
now nt Antelope, but a messenger lias
been sent for him, und he will bu here
as soon as possible.
As yet no definite arrangements have
been made for the funeral ; nut it will
probably take place Sunday.
Later IteiiorlH tJoiu iiinlni; Hid Maine.
A special bulletin received this morn
ing concerning tho destruction of tho
battleship Maine, states that the nunii
her of dead at present ia behoved to bo
254. Orders have been given by tho
United States governniHiit for an imme
diate investigation so that tho cause of
the explosion cau be ascertained without
a shadow of doubt.
The rumor that the atrocity of the
Spaniards is the cause to which the de
struction of the Maine is due, is not
without support, and it is hoped that

the investigation which will be made as
soon as possible, will bring the facts of
the whole unfortunate affair to light.
The bulletin goes to state further that
Captain Sigshee, of the ill-fated battle
ship, has said emphatically that the de
struction of his vessel was not due to
any accident.
The HowIIiir Tournament.
The first four games of the bowling
tournament between the Umatilla House
bowlers and the club members, came off
at the club rooms last night, nnd result
ed in a victory of four straight names for
the club tenm. In the first they won by
eight piny, in the second by sixty-six, in
,he third by twenty-five and the fourth
y twenty-two pins. T(ie following are
he totals f.r each game :
I.Ul! TKAM. UMATILLA HOUSK.
09 First Game 201
238 Second Game 192
23S Third Game 208
232 Fourth Game 210
932 Total 811
At ptesent the club team holds an ad
vantage of 121 pins. It should be re
membered, however, that tho Umatilla
House team was bowling on alleys to
which they were not accustomed, and
simo of their best rollers had exception
ally hard luck, taking out numerous
centers and rolling lar below their usual
scores.
It is expected tho guinea which will bo
played on thu Umatilla House alleys in
the near future will bo much closer and
more interesting those of last night.
