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..

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 dred. 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. .

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.

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. . .

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.

He had his hands behind him when he came, up, but did not know whether he had anything in his hands or not. . Robt.

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 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. Bow to Frereut PnnQmonla.
