sale inaugurated in the history of The Dalles.

In the East they are discussing the
uetion, "Why men do not go to

no occasion for such a contention. The
men do go to church, most of them

be decidedly in the minority.

Tho long talked of railway to run from
The Dalles to and through the DeschuteB
river territory has been resurrected and
is again up for consideration. That is
what should be done and there is a
certainty that such an enterprise would
be faithful in dividends. Such a route
would tap one of tho richest sections of
the state and afford a ready means for
the shipment of live stock, agricultural
and mine products to the market. The
sparsely settled country would quickly
fill up with desirable emigrants and it
would not be long ero the interior would
move in thejfront ranks of progress.

DESPERATE CHAR
ACTERS CAPTURED
ROBT. WILSON AND HUGH BROWN
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
Sliorlir Kelly and Dell Howard Do Some
Clover Work In Capturing
Two Old Oirenilers,
It is not left to the officers in large
cities to accomplish nil the shrewd
work and display all the bravery;
but often their laurels are captured by
the sheriffs, in what are termed "country
districts," and such a case is one which
has just occurred in Wasco county ; und
thereby hangs a tale:
On the night of July 23, 1897, three
white men K. Simmons, Hugh Brown
and Robert Wilson held up and robbed
threo Indians near the old slaughter
house, above town, badly beating two
of them and taking from them $7.50.
They were captured tho next day, and
at tho November term of court Brown
and Wilson were sentenced to two yearn
in the penitentiary, being taken down
on the 27th of that month. On tho 25th
of lust September they were released,
but their imprisonment did them little
good, as was proven later.
Saturday morning Sheriff Kelly re
ceived a telephone message from Everett,
who keeps a stable at Dufur, eayingthat
two men hud come there in the morning
and hired two horses, saying they were
going down to where their horses were
pastured near The Dalles. Later he
heard they I mil tried to trade the horses
to J, Moore at Nausene and were on
their way south, so he telephoned to
the sheriff to be on the look out. Mr.
Kelly at once telephoned to his deputy,
Dell Howell, at Antelope, to be ready to
start in pursuit when they crossed the
river at Des Chutes; ut tho bbiiio tima
sending word to Mrs. Sherar to advise
him if two men attempted to puss there.
At 0 o'clock situ 'phoned that two men
had jiiBt gone by on the run. Word was
immediately sent to Howell, who started
to meet them. Ho reached Dead Dog,
ubout five or six miles this side of Hake
Oven, und stopped over night, or until
the small hours, when ho ugain set out,
reaching Davis' place, seven miles tho
other sldeof Deadlines, by daylight. He
here encountered his men; hut allowed
them to eat breakfast, after which he
arrested them, Broun attempted to get
tils pistol, but was thwarted, und both
gave up. Putting handcuffs on Drown,
he made them mount their horses tied
together, und In this manner they were
taken to Den Chutes,
Desiring to telephone the sheriff,
Howell left his men in charge of two
giardt and went Into the house, No
sooner had he gone than the) started on
the run up the grade. liut Howell was
soon on their track, shooting as he came
In range of them. Twj miles up the !
road he overtook them, one having
fallen off his horse, which he left be
hind, and which Mrs. Sherar afterward
sent word was found. He began throw
ing rocks. Howell had unloaded his
pistol, and in attempting to reload found
the cylinder had caught, but the crafty
officer ran a bluff, and pointing the
weapon at them demanded them to hold
up their hands, and so recaptured the
culprits. This time. both were hand
cuffed and their hands Und behind them.
Securing a hack at Sherar's, in com
pany with Mr. Sherar, the men were
brought on into town, reaching here at
midnight, when they were soon safe in
the county jail.
From photographs of Brown and Wil
Bon which were sent out by tho chief of
police about ten days ago, they having
been charged with committing several
of the hold-ups and robberies which
havo been going on in Portland recently,
among which was the street car hold-up
the officers decided they had captured
the men wanted in Portland and for
whom they had been on tho lookout.
It will he remembered that tho men
were discovered at a bonrding house in
that city but escaped the officers, who
shot at them several times, some of
tho shots taking effect.
When they had been placed in jail
here, Sheriff Kelly said: "Well, one of
you fellows is shot, isn't lie?" They
both flatly denied and declared they were
not the men. The sheriff, however,
made them strip and found that Wilson
iiad been shot under tho left shoulder
blade, also through tho left arm, and
again through tiie calf of the right leg.
This morning Dr. Logan was called und
succeeded in extracting a bullet from the
top of the left shoulder blade, it hnving
ranged through from tho shot first
spoken of. Tiie mystery is how th man
continued his depredations for over a
week with such wounds on tils person,
for they must havo been plying their
trade, as six or seven watches wero found
on their persons when arrested. The
deputy allowed tfyem to retain them and
when at Des Chutes one of them threw
something wrapped inju handkerchief
into the river and the watches uro miss
ing. At Chicken Springs they traded
one horse for u smaller one and some
thing to boot.
Word was sent to (lie chief of police in
Portland, who answered that he would
send officers up to identify them. They
will probably, however, he tiled here
first for horse ste.tllng.
Both are men about 25 or 30 years of
age, and desperate characters us one
might well Imagine. Sheriff Kelly de
serves much credit for his prompt ac
tion and ingenuity, while his deputy,
Dell Howell, has proven himself tiie
bravest of officers, gaining for himself u
record for bravery which is remarkable,

The following which we glean from
tho Dallas News, temporarily published
by E. C. Pentland, is very timely and
to the point:
"A churcli choir is everybody's ser

casions and do more, work for the pnj

Would not that be dreadful? Only think
of it ! If you want a choir stand by them
and help them all vou can. If you
can't sing oureelf, help those who can.
We have no h'red choirs in the country
and do not want any, and when they
give their time and services on any oc
casion they are entitle! to thanks and
due appreciation. But 'lots of people
expect to have their service, who never
contribute anything to help train and
drill them. They have their reward ia
the conscious fact of doing a public duty,
appreciated or not."
