The city jail must have been envel
oped in blackness yesterday and last
night, six Indians and one Negro being
the inmates thereof. Determined that
some celebrating should be done, the
former got hilarious during the day and
in the evening the latter brought up the
rear. They paid about all that was left

A Tucoma electric car, carrying 101
excursionists, jumped the track on a

phuigedxtll'a bridge into n gulch 120 feet
deep. It turned over in descending ami
struck upside down when sixty feet
do'vn, the occupants being crushed and
mangled beneath the heavyweight as
I the car continued its descent. Thirty-
six people are known to have been
killed and over sixty injured, many of
whom will die.
A continued report of pistols in the
Kust Knd yesterday caused a hasty
! alarm to be sent to police' headquarters
! and an officer to make his way in that
' direction In doubk-nniek time. As the
repoi t came from the direction of the
depot he turned his steps hither and
there ho discovered It. A. Smith, cashier
at the freight of lice, not endeavoring to
fight his way out of town with the cash,
but ferociously dUcharging a toy pietol.
He attempted to hold the ollicer up, but
at that juncture hiB supply of paper cape
was exhausted and a tragedy averted.
Alfred, the 11-year-old son of J. E.
Ferguson, was the victim of the usual
I -1th of July accident yesterday, and it
may prove a very serious one. Toward
evening, while out in front of the house,
the little fellow decided to explode the
last of his bombs, but did not calculate
on the result. How it happened ho
does not seem to know, but it exploded
so as to strike directly between his eyes,
which were badly injured. While it is
feared the sight in one will be lost, the
right eye can be saved, at least such is
the hope of the physician, who was
called. N
It may be our people were too intent
on getting enough sleep to tide them
over the Fourth ; but be that as it may,
we have heard many eo n plaints that
the alarm failed to awaken them,, and it
lias been suggested that the bell has
been hung too low to give the effect
desired and should bo raised. Others
seem to think that after the first alarm
a general alarm should be given, so that
all might be awakened, and this be fol
lowed by the district alarm, While the
system recently Inaugurated is greatly
appreciated by all, it is, however, a fact
that our bell does not seem to liavo the
awakening effect as of yore.
One by one the fiends who soli liquor
to Indians are being found out, Yester
day Lewis Porter and Jack Harpor saw
a man attempt to give a bottle to an
Indian iu front of Prate & Mays' ware
house. The Indian was afraid of being
seen and they started toward the East
End. The men followed at a distance
and as soon as they Baw the whiskey in
the Imiids of Lo, 'phoned for the mar
shal, who, in company with the sheriff,
eoon arrived and placed them both in
the county j.iil, where they now await
further developments. The man gave
his name as Joseph Reckus, and has
been about town for some time, making
his home somewhere between here and
Celilo.
An alarm of fire was turned in from
the rooms oyer Pease & MayB etore yes
terday afternoon about 1 o'clock, a
small coal oil stove used by Mrs. Dennis
Bunnell having exploded, or in some
way eet flro to the wall of the pantry in
which it was kept. The ceiling is low
and soon the room was ablaze. .The
neighbors rushed in, and in a short
time all danger was over and although
the new engine was on hand, it was not
needed. The pantry is a wreck, but
fortunately the fire was kept from
spreading to the other rooms and thus
endangering the whole building.
Announcement lias been made of the
dissolution of law partnership which
haB for years existed between K. B.
Dufur and Frank Menefee. Tno former
has withdrawn and Mr. Menefee lias
now formed n paitnersbip with Fred W.
Wilson, and they will continue occupy
ing the oflico of the old fir;n in the Vogt
block. To those who know these youngj
men (and they are among the best!
known iu the county) this partnership'
bids fair to be productive of good results
The ability of both is recognized at
their popularity undisputed, making
their partnership doubly promising for
the future. Tin: Ckuomci.i: wishes the
new firm abundant euccess.
Not least among the varied opportuni
ties which Dalles people have for spen
ing u pleasant vacation is the beaut if i;
Bhady groves of Gladstone Park, nei
Oregon City, where each year the Chan
tauqua assembly meets for about teri
days. It Is strange, however, that e
few of our people have taken advantage
of this opportunity, for those who have
attended from hero have thoroughly en
joyed themselves and were very enthusi
astic not over only the splendid program,
but the grounds and everything con
nected therewith. This year the session
convenes nu the 11th of this mouth,
closing on the 2lst. The expeusu of
reaching llieie is slight, and one bus a
choice of remaining iu Portland or Ore
gon City and attending each day, or
camping on the grounds, and wo feel
sure were our people to include this in
their summer vacations they would llnd
it a pleasant outing,
Tuesday evening Mrs. Mary Spink re
ceived a letter which gave her further
particulars regarding the drowning of
her son, Robert V, Klutoul, iu the
Snake river last week. Mr. ltintoul was
engaged iu the stock business near
Caldwell, Idaho, and hud gone down to
send some cattle across the river. He
rode into the river, and seeing that hie
horse was too deep attempted to turn
bim around, when the animal fell back
ward and both sank. The body never
rofto and the supposition is that the
horse fell on him. Although quantities
of dynamite have been used and the
river dragged, it availed not, and no
truce of the body lias been found. Rob
ert W. ltintoul wan born iu Missouri -12
years ago, anil waa the only sou of Mrs.
Mary Spink of this city. lie was a most
worthy man and will not only be missed
by the wife and children, mother and
sisters whom ho leaves behind, but by
all who wore wont to meet bim iu busi
ness ami social relatione.
Everyone seemed to bo expecting an
alarm of lire Tuesday night and there
fore were not surprised when the alarm
Bounded at 1 :.'!0 o'clock Wednetday
morning. The blar.e indicated that it
was on the west hill, and it was found to
emanate from an empty house belong
ing to W. E. Campbell, just west of C.
L. Phillips' residence. Soon n small
house adjoining, which belonged to Ban
Ebon, was in fUmes, and in spite uf the
efforts of Mt. Hood Hose Co., and Jack
son Engine Co , both burned to the
ground. C. L. Phillips' house also had a
narrow escape, and had it not been for
the largo poplar trees which bordered his
lot and which wcro badly burned, Ins
pretty home would have been in ashes.
As it was it took hard work to keep the
barn from catching. The Eben house
was unoccupied, but n number of things
were stored in it, making a loss of about
$100. W. E. Campbell, we understand,
had an insurance of -1-200 on his building.
No theory has been advanced as to the
origin of the fire other than that a fire
cracker or some other portion of Fourth
of July fireworks may have etarted it.
