John Riggs is today minus his- buggy
horse, which he thinks must have been
stolen laBt night from the lot adjoining
his place on the hill. Last evening at
sun-down the horse was in the -lot, se
curely hobbled, and as it has been his
stamping ground - for the past seven
years, they were much surprised to find
he had disappeared. . Thorough exarch
for him has not revealed his where
abouts. Every day now the O. R. & N. runs
the new tourist sleeping cars through
The Dalles, the new vestibuled cars that
are to run between Portland -and Den

next Wednesday evening, at the Vogt.
The announcement that our borne talent
is to appear has always been received
very enthusiastically by Dalles people,
and this will certainly not be an ex

will be posted tomorrow and further
notice given later.
A telephone message was received this
morning from Hood River telling that a
body had been found in the river at that
place, and asking that the coroner come
down and hold the inquest. It was sup
posed to be the body of Frank Combs,
who was drowned about a month ago at
Arlington. As Mr. Butts is unable to
make the.trip, word was sent for Justice
of the Peace Geo. T. Prather to attend
to the matter, and the inquest was
held by him this afternoon, when it
proved to.be the body of a man who was
drowped at Wallula.
Mr. P. DeHuff returned this morning
from Lewiston, having left The Dal.'ee
Monday evening for that place on a
business trip. Since the n?w eteami r
Spokane has been placed 011 the route, a
trip to Lewiston '.can be made in much
faster time and with splendid accommo
dations. Mr. DeHuff says the weather
at that place is perhaps slightly warmer
than in The Dalles, and that the Snake
river began to raise yesterday. In con
versation with Charley Bunnell, who
now lives in Lewiston, he told him that
the miners in the Buffalo Hump region
say there baa never been so much enow
in those mountains at this time of the
year as at present. Lawieton people,
like Dalles people, expect a flood, but
have only the reports of thoee Who have
been in the mountains to depend upon.
That place, which has been very lively of
late on account of mining excitement, ia
somewhat quieter now. although in a
very healthy state of progress.

As we were attracted to hve or si
cars which came through this morning
on a freight train, looking as if they had
been through the war, we were led to
inquire what wreck bad occurred up the
road ; but were informed that they bad
come all the way from the scene of the
riots at Waidner and were a - portion of
the train which had been blown up bv
the Etrikers. One of them had the top
completely torn off, while the rest were
nearly as badly demoralized. They
were being taken to Portland for repairs,

the more so as we realize from a more

spend the half day as it was intended,
were the whole day a holiday, surely a
portion of it . would be devoted to the
real spirit of what Decoration was

When the industrious industrial
agent,- K. (J. Judson, happens around,
everybody knows "there's something in
the wind," and where there's as much
wind as The Dalles has been having,
there's plenty of capacity for all sorts of
schemes.- Anyway, whenever you see
Mr. Judson, just make up your minds
things are going to "hum."
Well, he was in The Dalles last night
for a short time, but in that short time
he made it known that if our people
would co-operate, we can have an in
dustry here which is worth the while
fostering, in the shape of a fruit drying
and evaporating plant. What better
suited to The Dalles' needs? for while as
many men may not be employed as in
some other industry,' the benefit to
our fruit growers will be great.
Mr. Judson does not think it will re
quire over f3000 or $4000 to start it, and
with that nucleus, no doubt a cannery
and other adjuncts will follow in its
wake, which will employ many work
men.
Now is the time to. make a substantial
beginning in the matter of industries,
and would be a splendid opportunity to
invest some of the eubsidy money we are
about to raise. Mr. Judson will return in
a short time to pat the matter before
the people. ' In.tbe meantime they will
have a chance to consider the question
thoroughly.
Hogb Hoffman Accidentia Shot at
Mile Yesterday.
15-
A very sad and fatal accident hap
pened yesterday .afternoon at 15-Mile,
news of which was brought to the city
last evening by a neighbor, who came
in to inform Mr. Hoffman of the terrible
death of his son, Hugh, at that place
last evening, between, the hoars of 4
and 6 o'clock. !
Hugh Hoffman, who was 12 years of
age, and who has been making bis home
with the family of C. W. . Emerson on
15-Mile, started on horsback about 4
o'clock for Moe's place, some miles dis
tant, on an errand for Mrs. Emerscn,
who had been called to Bockland on ac
count of the illness of her little grand
son, and which she asked him to do be
fore leaving. -
Although being warned frequent-
y, -he took his double barreled shot
gun with him. He reached his desti
nation and accomplishing his errand,
started away in good spirits. Toward
evening one of the Moe boys saw biB
horse standing near by, and fearing
sonuetLing had happened to Hugh, he at
once went in search of him, and found
his li'eleEB body lying by a marking ma
chine, and the top of his head was about
blown off, a ahot having entered just
above the left ear.
As be had told one of the boys that te
had left his gun lying on the machine.
t is supposed as he attempted to lift it
up one the cocks got. caught and was
discharged, with the dreadful result.
Word was immediately sent in to his
father, who is a laborer in this city, and
he left last night for Mr. Emerson's.
Justice Bayard left this morning for
the Ecene of the accident to bold an
inqaeet, the result of which will be
published tomorrow. -

A very subdued-looking boy of about
13 years, with a long scratch on his noee
and an air of general dejection, came to
bis teacher in one of the Oregon public
schools and banded her a note before
taking his eeat and becoming deeply
absorbed in bis book. The note read as
follows;
"Miss B. Please excuse James for
not being thare yesterday. He played
trooant, bat I guess you don't need to
lick bim for it, as the boy be- played
trooant with an' him fell out, an' the
boy licked bim, an' a man they sassed

lick him until next time. I gue6B he
