Commenting on the bravery of Deputy
Sheriff Howell in capturing the two
desperadoes Sunday, the Telegram aptly
Bays: "Tho two highwaymtn that four
Portland detectives failed to capture,
when the mitcreants were corraled in a
room, were captured on a road in an
open country, without help, by one
Wasco county deputy sheriff named
Howell. It is improbable that Woeco
county would entertain a proposition to
trade off Mr. Howell for a job lot of de
tectives." The telegraph companies are announc
ing that they are prepared to receive
meseages for transmission to Daweon,
Skagway and other points in Knrtliweet
Territories and Alaska. The announce
ment concludes as follows: "MeesageB
are accepted with the understanding
that they will be transmitted by tele
graph to Seattle, Wash., Vancouver, B.
C, or Victoria, B. C, forwarded by first
steamers to Skagway, and thence trans
mitted over government telegraph lines
to destination. The steamer eervice be
ing irregular and slow, meseages aro sub
ject to delay."
Detective Joseph Day arrived on last

wanted In Portland. The reeult of his
conference with the officers hero con
cerning the disposition to be made of tlie 1
prisoners lias not heen determined ; but I
although it may not be according to
"Iloyle" or Blackstone, or whoever he
may he, wo would suggest that Wasco
county be "unselfish" In the matter and
lit Multnomah have their men, and then
we'll be out only the horses instead of a
large sum in prosecuting them.
The militia boys have made, ft splendid
move In putting into the arfiory a good
gymnasium. While not elaborate, It is
sufficiently equipped to afford the mem
bers neceesary exerclse and a great deal
of pleasure, and the' boys thoroughly
enjoy it. At headunartoro they have
also arranged to have on hand good
reading matter, inthe shape of tho late
magazines, and thus a splendid place is
furnished where they can spend the
time profitably; Last night after drill
a lively smoker took place and every
body was initiated, the initiation con
sisting principally of the blanket degree.
The boye, however, came down in good
trim to enjoy the refreshments which
had been foraged.
Paesengero on tho O. R. & N. train
Friday tell of an incident that occurred
near Arlington which not only caused
deep sympathy for the parties con
cerned, hut taught all a lesson in regard
to carelessness concerning money carried
while traveling. An old, white-haired
man, who was on his way from Okla
homa to some town in Washington, with
hie family, had been rather free In
changing money and in no way reserved
about the amount he carried, Placing
a roll of bills amounting to $700 in the
bosom of hie shirt, he fell asleep and
awoke to find hi- bills minus. The con
ductor was at once informed and a
searcli instituted ; but it was finally de
cided that a man who had gotten off at
a small station a few miles back had
managed to capture the bills, and tlie
pooriian was left with buc 19 cente,
and a large family depending on him
for sustenance during the trip. It would
seem that the best way to do in travel
ing is to "believe everyone guilty until
they prove themselves innocent."
Mrs. Edith Wetherred arrived in the
city this morniug from a trip through
Eastern Oregon. She is a woman of re
matkable energy and ability and has
had great .succees in instituting cabins
of Native Daughters in the various towns
she has visited. Although she has made
great effort to awaken an interest in
The Dalles, it seems to be tlie general
opinion that there is already too many
orders to admit of good work being
done by luldini: another. Tliero ie
another reason why we believe our
women fail to co-operaie in t tie work,
and that i- there are few who have
leisure time, being an unusually busy ag
gregation of housewives and workiug
girls whose time iB entirely taken up.
We hope, however, that" at some future
time, after the holidays aro over, prc
haps, and the extra efforts iu church
financial work have somewhat subsided,
the ladies will feiJl that they can co
operate in instituting a cabin here, fur
tho organization of Nativo Daughters
should receive tho support of everyone
of Oregon's fair daughters.
still on tlie seat and seemed to be trying
to reverse the lever.
"Since then I have seen that picture
in my dreams. The roar of a torrent in
my ears, the red glare from the furnace
showing Bob's ghastly form straining at
the lever, and the fireman's cry of
anguish and palid face. There had been
a terrible jolting and sickening sound of
steel and iron being rent asunder. It
was awful. No words can describe tlie
bedlam of crashing noiee that followed
the dull thud of the engine striking the
ground. The entire maes of rending
iron and steel turned over with a heavy
groan, and I knew I was buried beneath
the wreck."

W. F. Hvrnzieger, tho brakeinan who
was in tho recent wreck when
Robert Hunter and Miler were killed,
is etill at the St. Vincent hospital in
Portland, and yesterday in talking to a
leporter said in part:
"Ae you know, I was riding on tlie
engine. Boh (tho engineer) had asked
me to ride with him. I intended to get
off the engine at Troutdale and go back
to the passenger care. I eat on the fire
man's box and we talked about various
things. Bob, I remember, was com
plaining about whistle signals not being
properly blown.
" 'Ain't you getting wet,' I said to tho
fireman, who had been sitting behind
mo when he was not down tiring.
" 'No; I'm all right,' he replied.
" 'Look out ahead there, Jack!' the
engineer suddenly shouted to 1110; 'is
that a headlight?'
" 'No,' I said, and then added: 'My
Godl Stop her; it's a rock !'
"The engine struck the slide instantly
and reared up in the air. It seemed as
though the rock kept rolling under the
engine some little time, It was pitch
dark. But the glare, from the furnace
lit up the cab. I was thrown on the
throttle. Tlie fireman grabbed hold of
ice and exclaimed, 'Oh, God; I'm
killed I'
