TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYRDP OF FIGS

Lee K. Morse's Death.
"Abotfttwb vears aeo Lee K. Morse, of
Portland, who was recently killed in
Manila, visited The Dalles, and many
.'. young people here remember meeting
him, as he was one not to be forgotten
when once known. His remains were
. 'orought to Portland Sunday, and taken
-iEast last night. . In writing to a friend
here, Walter Reavis eays concerning his
"'death :
"The saddest thing that I have to
tell you ia that our first sergeant was shot
and killed by mistake by one of our sen-
trys. The details are as follows : On the
outpost of the guard there are several
magazines which are full of powder. The
natives have been trying to get into the
iniagazines and obtain the powder so as
to give us strong battle.
"Anyway on the night of the 6th of
January the-gaards, three in number,
snow they were around, and they 8UC-
-ceeded in killing four out of five and cor
tiered the last of them. The shots
Aroused the officers and Major Ganten-
'bein' and Captain Wells ran up to where
the shooting took place.
VQur first sergeant at the time of the
hooting was making bis report (nightly)
to Capt. Wells, and went with them, he
taking the lead. As they approached the
gentry unseen, Lee Morse, which was
iiis name, ran upon the wall just where
the guards expected to see the natives
jump ud. Of cjurae the Bentry did not
-expect any one else but the nativea to be
anywhere around, and it being dark
as dark could be, the sentry shot him
through and through the hipa. He
iialted Lee, but Lee kept right on com
iug. The sentry did bis duty like
soldier, but it is an awful sad affair.
"He regained consciousness for a short
time and said "I don't think I am- hurt
verv bad." Then laid down and died
Both hips were badly shattered, tb
baU passing straight through him. H
-was buried on the following day, Jan. 7
1899 It was the largest funeral I have
mr seen in the army, for he waa one
of
4b. o most popular men in the regiment
ilia remains were put in a vault at Ma
' Sate. It has cast a shadow on our com
. inanv that will take some time for it to
raise.'" '
Eev. XT. C. Curtis in KorwaJk.
A few days ago we spoke of a letter re
ceived by'Harry Lie be from Rev. W. O.
! Curtis, apking him to mount tome, ar
row beads to ( be exhibited at the
Women's Club at Norwalk, Conn. Re
garding this exhibit the Norwalk Senti
nel says : " ' 1
"One of the most valuable and inter
esting afternoons the club has ever given
will be next Tuesday, the 21st. W. C.
Cuitis, recently of The Dalles, Or., is to
loan his remarkable collection of Indian
arrow beads and basketry and give a
paper on these subjects. Mr. Curtis is an
enthusiast upon this matter, following
the wise custom of many professional
men and having the resource of a study
aside from hia own special pursuit. It
is a happy chance which brings him to
Norwalk, and he is generous enough to
allow his collection to be exhibited and
to give an explanatory papnr upon it.
"Indian basketry is a subject with
which Eastern people ..generally ere
but little acquainted,' but 1 to the
dwellers; on the Pacific coast it has a
wide and growing interest, not only be
cause of the beauty and utility of the
baskets themselves, but because they
represent an art which seems destined
to pass with the present generation
of Indians.
"Mr. Curtis ia naturally interested in
acquainting Norwalk people with some
of the charms of hia favorite study, as
Norwalk is his native place, and he was
warmly welcomed back upon his ,return
a few months ago. The lecture will be
gin at 3 o'clock."
"K. of P. Anniversary.
Sunday being the thirty-fifth anni
versary of the order of Knights of
Pythiaa, the event was celebrated by the
lodge in this city last night.. Over a
hundred persons were present at! the

address by Prof. Gavin ' regarding the
purpose of the meeting, a short program,
consisting of an address by B. S. Hunt
ington, instrumental music bv Maude
and Clarence Gilbert, and a solo by Mrs
Huntington, was rendered.
In hia address, which was extremely
eloquent and apropos, Mr. Huntington
reviewed the advancment of the order
from its inception thirty-nve years ago
in the city of Washington, D. C, by
Justice H. Rath bone, to the present
time, when the supreme jurisdiction
umbers over a half million members.
he speaker covered much ground in hia
remarks, which were not lengthy, but
right to the point.
Friendship Lodge, No 9, of thia cuy.
now numbers lUb members in good
standing, while the Kathbone Sisters
have a membership of nearly one hun

The program being ended at 9:30,
dancing began and continued till a very
late hour, being interrupted at 10:30, in
order to give thoee present an oppor
tunity to partake of the splendid ban
quet furnished, and resumed when the
table had no more attraction for the
guests. .

Continued from Third fage
mark, 'Hurrah for Slim !" When they
said 'Go for it' Gamm ran down and
struck Forrester, and tbe next time I
saw Forrester he had gotten up and had
a knife in hia hand. Did not eee Brogan ;
just then, but said to Silvertooth "Look
out Jim, be has got a knife.' Silvertoott
cried out 'For God's sake put it up,' and
started out from behind the bar, and in
the row waa hit or cut in some way."
Witneaa said he grabbed chair from Bro
gan, but ne got another one ana struck.
Forrester, who was in a squatting
position. "Some one elee must
have knocked Forrester down a
second time, but not Brogan." Witness
did not know whether Brogan saw the
knife or not.' When Brogan was strik
ing' him with the chair he appeared to
be warding off tbe blows with his hands.
Clarno waa asked if be had made the
statement to Mra. Kemp, Mrs. Gamble
and Mrs. Gliean that be saw Forrester
come into the saloon with the knife in
his handv and hia hand behind him.
Witness denied the fact.
The next witness was Geo. Fagg, who
testified he waa at Dial's ealoon when
someone said, "They are fighting at Sil
vertooth's." He went over and stepped
in the door, when Brogan said, "I am
stabbed," and fell back on ' the bed.
Witness did not see any one come out
of tbe ealoon, but did see a man on the
ou'side and thought he had no hat on.
George Hammond was then called and
testified that he was going up tbe street
on the evening of the kiiling, and heard
some noise in Silvertooth's and walked
over and tried to push the door open,
but found aomething againat one of
them. He put his left hand against tbe
other door and opened it about six
inches and saw a chair eoming down,
but did not know who .had it, but that
t came down on a man stooping at tbe
bar. Saw the chair a second time, and
it was directed at Forrester. The first
time it hit him on the head, but the sec
ond time he dodged the, blow, and. then
he saw Forrester's hand go out and he
came falling against the doors and wit
ness stepped away and Forrester came
out and went aiound the corner of the
saloon. After some one else went into
the saloon witness followed. On cross
examination witness stated he was sure
it waa Forrester who came out of the sa
loon, and that he had no knife or weapon
in hia bands. .
It was 9:43 p.m. when this witness
left the Btand, and court waa adjourned
until this morning.
MORNING SESSION.
The firBt witness ,called this morning
was Thomas Haunaghan, who testified
he did not hear Forrester say "I will
have my money or blood with it." Also
testified that be was under the influence
of liquor on the afternoon of tbe killing.
Fred Wallace was tbe next witness,
and testified as to the blood spots and
gave a description of the chair used in
the fracaB. . .
Stanley Vinyard then took the stand
and testified that he arrived in Antelope
on tbe afternoon of the killing at about
3 o'clock with a four-horse team and
wagon loaded with freight for Mitchell
Also that there was another team be
hind him driven by a man named
George. On arriving in Antelope he
stopped near Bolton's store. Witness
saw Brogan and Forrester on tbe street
nearly in front of the poetoffice. For-
tester came down the street and Vin
yard spoke to him, and then Forrester
passed on and George spoke to him,
when Brogan spoke up and said to tbe
man behind witness, "Tell him he is a
. That's what he is
George. Brogan said further, "A.
horee fell on me or I would fix him. If
I can't someone else will tonight." The
witness then went to purchase some
bread and left town about a half "hour
after arriving. At this point the defense
rested their case.
The proaeedtion then offered test!
mony in rebuttal and called Max Lued
deman in an attempt to impeach the
testimony of Charles Clarno. Witness
stated be beard Clarno testily at tbe
coroner's inquest, and in substance
said, "Brogan struck at Forrester a cou
ple of times with a chair, but do cot
know whether he hit him or not."Lued
deman also testified that he was auth
orized by the acting coroner to take the
substance of the testimony offered and
did ao, couched in his own language.
Further, that he was asked by the cor
oner to reduce tbe testimony offered to
writing as near ' as possible in the lan
guage used by witnesses.
Mrs. Zich Taylor was then called in
rebuttal and testified that Forrester
came to her bouse about 6 p.m. after
tbe killing, and that she stood within a
foot and a half of him. " There was no
blood on his face that she saw or any
bruise. Witness stated she could eee
quite plainly and could tell what com
plexion a man was. He had his hands
behind him when he came, up, but did
not know whether he had anything in
his hands or not. .
Robt. Mays was then called in rebut
tal by the defense, ( in an endeavor to
prove the truth and veracity of Clarno,
but was not allowed to testify.
Fred Wallace was then called in re
buttal and testified that he was a juror
on the inquest over the body of Brogan.
Also to the best of bis recollection that
Clarno testified at the inquest that Bro
gan struck Forrester with a chair.
Tbe testimony being all in, the case
was reeted, and all the witnesses were
discharged from further attendance up
on the court. It was then decided that
the case should go before the jury at or
before 11 -.30 tonight. Tbe council on
either side will be allowed three and
one-half hours in which to plead.
Spain Once Owned It.
Seattle, Wash., Feb. 19 The Post
Intelligencer today publishes the fac
simile of a Spanish document which
shows that the Spanish were in actual
military possession of Vancouver island
between 1790 and Januarv 1, 1792. It is
stated that the document, if it bad been
in the possession of Emperor William of
Germany when he arbitrated tbe Cana
dian boundary between England and
United States, would have incontestably
proven the right of the United States to
Vancouver island. The document in
question is a report of Pedro Alberni
upon the condition of his forces on his
return from Nootka sound to Mexico
It ia dated January 1, 1793. The original
document, which is now in Seattle, was
sold to a British citizen over 40 years
ago, and it has been withheld' tor
personal reasons.
