Last evening Nigbtwatchman Phir-

around near Brooks' etore, in the East
End, and seeing that he was unable to
account for himself, took him to the city
jail. This morning the county judge in
quired into his case, and found him to
be one J. H. Richardson, who for some
time has been an inmaLe of the poor
house. A few days since, he camo into
town -with Mr. Cashing and wandered
away. After diligent search Mr. Cueh
ing failed to find him, and thinking he
was with friends here started home with
out him. While he doej not seem to be
entirely insane, he is much enfeebled in
mind. He will be returned to the poor
farm tomorrow, unless on further inves
tigation be is thought to be too feebled
in intellect to be further cared for there,
when he will be sent to tho asylum.
In speaking of the recent occurrence
in Portland, when it was discovered
that eeveral shop girls had been found
to be dishonest and to have been pilfer
ing from the store where thev are em
ployed, tho Telegram aptly eays:
"When department store keepers refuse
to pay girls who work for them more
than three or four dollars a week, and
yet require that these eame girls must
be well and neatly dressed, they put a
premium upon dishonesty, and that
girls of none too strong character should
succumb to such temptations is not at all
surprising." While there is really no
excuse for dishonesty, at the same time
the wages which these girls are re
quired to work for is entirely out of rea
son, and such as no employe could live
on. However, the girls themselves are
In a great measure to blame and should
make the initiatory steps toward better
ing their own condition by uniting to
demand better wages.
Yesterday evening Deputy Sheriff
Sexton and Conetable Hill, went up to
Celilo to inqure into the Indian mnrder
case end if possible capture the murder
er. .. Upon going to the scene of the mur
der at Des Chutes they found, that the
Indian Jack, who was supposed to have
committed the crime, bad started for
Celilo, and they were compelled to walk
back three miles. Reaching Celilo they
found the man and ar.reeted him, al
though he protested his innocence and
concocted a very plausible little story to
the effect that four of them bad been
drinking cider and the two other fellows
got into a quarrel - with the boy. His
mother wanted Jack to separate them,
but' he refueed, and when he looked
around one had him in his arms and the
other was cutting his throat. He also
schemed to get rid of Lis blanket, which
had blood etains on it, sayii;g some one
had exchanged blankets with him. The
Indians eay there is no troth in his
story, but that 'tis likely he got into a
quarrel with the boy who may have ac
cused him of killing his uncle, Indian
Jim, last winter. The officers brought
him to town and he is now ioihe connty
jail. The Indi-n boy was taken to Yaki
ma for burial.
ANOTHER MURDER AT ANTELOPE
F.
N. Spicer SJioots and Kills TV. D.
Jones Yesterday Afternoon.
Dalles residents were again etartled
this morning, when upon reaching their
various places of business they were in
formed of another dreadful tragedy which
bad occurred at Antelope, seemingly the
seat of eo many terrible murders. As in
the last case, the victim is a man well
known in this city, as is also the man
who did the ehooting.
The news came through a telephone
message received bv A. M. Keleay this
morning informing him that bis father-in-law,
W. D. Jones, had been shot and
killed by F. N. Spicer at Antelope last
evening.
The information regarding the affair
was very meager; and nothing very
definite can as yet be given retarding it.
Rumor, however, has it that the diffi
culty arose from an " old feud existing
between the two men. Yeeterdaj Spicer
came up to Jonea' place with a load of
furniture for a family who was to move
into the place, and Jones being there, a
dispute arose, which became very warm,
and finally Jones was shot in the head
by Spicer, causing instant death. When
the ehooting cccurred one was standing
on one side of the wagon and the other
on the opposite side.
Spicer at once gave himself up, and
as officers started immediately for this
place with him, he is expected to arrive
tonight. He is quite well known in
The Dalles, having married Miss Eva
Rogers, a daughter of the late Alex.
Rogers.
Mr. Jones- is also known to Dalles
people, having resided here with his
daughter for eome time., His remains
will be brought here for burial.
The terrible affair is deeply regretted
by everyone, and people are beginning
to wonder when these awful tragedies
will end and peace reign in that
neighborhood.
"Frenchy" a Victim to Alcohol.
All residents of the city, especially
thoee who have occasion to be around
the business portion of town, were ac
customed to seeing a little short French
men about the streets at most any time
of day, and to hearing, him called
"Frenchy". His rgal name was Joe
Martin end having no relatives here, he
made hiB home in the old brick building
at the foot of . Washington street known
as the Miller brick, but spent much of
his time working about a number of
saloons. He was a hafd drinker; in
fact was seldom known to be sober.
Last Sunday about 8 o'clock in the
evening he went into Frank's saloon
and claiming that he was &ick, went to a
bed room in the back of the ealoon and
lay down, saying it was too cold in his
shack. Yesterday afternoon be came
out and told Charlie Frank be was very,
sick, who gave him a small glass of wine.
He was also offered some hot coffee, bat
refusing it, went back to bed.
At quarter to 6 Frank went, in the
room to get his bicycle and found bim
dead in bed. The coroner was sent for,
but as he was ill, Ned Gates, the re
corder, had the dead man taken to the
coronor's office, and this morning held
an inquest over the body. Nothing is
known regarding the man or his rela
tives, other than that he has been in the
city about five years. The result of the
inquest was as follows :
In the matter of the inquest over the
bodv of Joe Martin :
We the jury, summoned' by Ned H.
Gates, recorder of Dalles City and ex
officio Justice of the-Peace, to inquire
into the cause of the death of the body
now before us, find the following facts,

fore us. ' .

Oregon, and. by occupation a laborer.
