To show their appreciation of their

watch and a $20-nugget charm. The
enptain writes that his surprise in no
wise diminished his appreciation of their
kindness. His steamer will make two
more tripB before the tie-up, and unless
bis fever over the new discovery, fifty
miles from Dawson, on tho American
side, compels him to go up there, he
will be at home by the first week in
November.
, liailroad rumors in every quarter are
thicker than dust on the streets of The
Dalles, and fiom every direction comes
a different report regarding some new
scheme. The following dispatch from
Goldendalo Sunday to an exchange says :
" W. W. Ames, the well known fruit
grower of Columbus, while visiting
Goldendalo today gave encouraging re
ports of the Columbia & Dalles Kailroad,
in progrers of construction, Paul F.
Mohr is reported to have been in The
Dalles yesterday, where he was met by
Engineer J. W. Stiack and driven over
tho work on tho north side in the vicinity
of tho, fisheries. Another rumor in con
nection with the road now being con
structed from Columbus to Tho Dalles
is that a spur will be extended from
Columbus in a northerly direction to
Goldendale, thence easterly to the town
of North Yakima, and then to a point
on tho Columbia river above Priest
rapids, where a connection will be made
with the boats that will come from the
mining section of tho Okanogin. It is
said the secret of tho latter move was
intrusted to a few people; but carelessly
.the cat jumped out of the bug, and ills
said the Cummerclul club of The Dalles
are heartily interested in the proposed
spur."
Hon. E. B. Dnfur is now in Portland,
where ho is attorney for tho plaintiff in
a case where H. II. Boyd seeks to secure
from tho Portland General Electric
Light Company (5000 damages caused
to his Eon at Woodlawn in 1807, whin
lie was injured by a broken end of n live
electric light wire striking him. The
plaintifT alleges carelessness on the part
of the company. The boy, by his father
as guardian, brought a former action
against the defendant, which was tried
in March, 1898, three months afier the
accident occurred, and recovered a
verdict for the full amount sued foi,
?5000. This the court reduced to !2500,
and an appeal was taken to tho supreme
court, where the case is still pending.
This case is brought on a different
ground, for the benefit of the father in
stead of the son, on the grounds above
stated. It is also alleged by the plaintifT
that since tho former trial the boy, in
consiquenceof the injuries received, has
had fits, and gone into convulsions and
become peevish, disobedient and quar
relsome, as he had not been before; that
he will continue to grow worse, and his
parents will not only lose his services
in future but will be required to con
tinually nurse and provide medical at
tendance and medicines for him ; which
condition and circumstances were not
known ut the time of the former trial.

MORE ABOUT THE TRAGfcDY.
Verdict of the Coroucr's Jury In iho j
Guy tou Suicide.
j Dalles, Portland and Astoria
Navigation Co.'
A telephone message received by the
CmtoxicLE from Moro this afternoon
gave further particulars regarding the
dreadful tragedy which occurred Monday
evening, tlia coroner having just re
turned from holding t he inquest at
Harris' place on Des Chute?, tho scene
of the occurrence.
It seem that Guytou and his family
were camped on the east bank of the
Des Chutes, near the sito of the new
mill, and were putting up berries for
winter use. Monday morning Mrs.
Guy ton became angry at her husband's
little girl (his daughter by his first wife)
and began beating her about tho head.
The father interferred and took the child
to Harrit' house, near by, telling his
wife that he could not stand such treat
ment of her and (f it was not stopped
they must separate.
About three quarters of an hour after
waid the Harris children heard ecreams
from children in the direction of the
'river, but by the time they got down to
the stream, nothing could be seen. Dis
covering their absence from camp, the
river was searched and as it was very
shallow there, tho bodies were soon
found. She must have thrown tho
4-year-old boy into the stream first, and
then tied the 20-months-old babe in her
arms and jumped in, for the boy was
found twenty-five yards further down
the river and the babe was tied to her
when found.
The coroner's jury found a verdict that
the children came to their death by their
mother's hand, after which she took her
own life.
Their home was about twenty miles
south of Grass Valley and the three
bodies were buried at Grass Valley yes
terday afternoon.
It is dillicult to obtain a cont'd ac
count of such an affair, particularly as
it occurred so far away; und us there
aro always two sides to every such oc
currence, in spito of tho terrible aspect
which tho deed presents, perhaps it
would be well to withhold censure, as
only Ono who l. able to judge all uc
thiis knows what could prompt such a
criiue.
