for $2 per day, and stipulated that ton hours
should constitute a day's work. The work
consisted iu unloading dirt trains from Nlles.
Somo of the men expressed willingness to
work for 91 70 a day, the amount paid sec

aud as thcro were fear of violence, he ob
tained policemen to keep the peace. These
remained but a short tlmo, as there was no
ovldeuce of intention of violence. Two
men remained at work, willing to work for
$1 CO per day. The ktrlkers are sitting in

to shore wheio Coroner Cooko took
charge of it and hauled it away to tho
morgue. The body was iu an advanced
stage of decomposition, and to approach
within twenty feet of it was suflicicnt to
! turn tho strongest stomach. Tho hair
had all fallen from tho lioad, tho Jlesli
I from tho faco and fingers, making idon
1 tifieation from thoso sources impossible.
An inquest was held, which resulted in
tho iurv returning: a verdict that a man
unknown to tho jury had been found
floating iu tho river, anil that no came
to liis death by a blow on tho hoad with
some dull instrument, crusiiiug mo
skull. A complete account was pub
lished in tho lkc together with a correct
description of tho watch aud chain and
other articles found upon his person.
Tho body was takon to Potters' field and
buried. Our jmpers wero spread broad

A thoughtlcis fashion writer says striped
turasols are last taking the place of striped
stockings. This hardly seems possible
or comfortable, but the freaks of fashion
are very strange, and those who hare
been wearing striped stockings will be
watched with great interest.

Guilty of Murder-
Yesterday tho jury in tho caso of Ah
Lee, indicted for tho murder of a fellow
countryman, brought in a vordict of
murder in tho first degrco, having been
out less than an hour. Timo for passing
scntenco was set for Monday, the 21st
inst., iu order to allow tho counsel for
defence an opportunity to filo a motion
for a now trial, which will probably bo
done. Ah Leo's chances for oscape from
execution grow smaller and beautifully
less each timo tho testimony is taken,
yet tho Chincso company of which ho is
a member will ligtit tno uecroo unto uio
end. Charloy Leo Quong will probably
escapo death. Grant, tho convicted
murderer of Dennis Spcllen, will havo
about as difficult a timo as Ah Leo to got
clear, so it is thought, notwithstanding
tho fact that tho prosecuting witness,
Mrs. Kilday, is dead. Now testimony
will bo introduced which will bo difficult
to overcome.
An Impostor In Prison.
A correspondent, writing from Gcrvais
to tho Catholic Sentinel, under dato of
Tuesday last, says' that on tho 2d inst
William Hogan, under tho assumed garb
of a priest, collected some money in that
parish, got drunk and was lodged in jail.
Ho is bolioved to bo tho samo impostor
mado mention of about somo weeksago
as uohiff in Southern Orecon. Ho is a
dark-complexioned, short-built man, nnd
has all tho foatures of a firet-class bilk.
Tho correspondent also says : " I havo
to tender my thanks to tho authorities
of Gcrvais, and especially to Esquire L.
Poujade, Justico of tho 1'cace, tor tno
act of justico and prudonco displayed in
notifying me when in Portland, and
holding him until my arrival hero in
Gcrvais, so .is to cnablo mo to ropudiato
Hogan publicly as an imposter. This
fellow who calls himself Hogan has no
papers to show except a dilapidated
forged letter. Ho was found guilty,
begged the clemency of tho judges, and.
promised to loavo tho Stato. Considering
that tho Circuit Court would only meet
next Fall, and that tho roguo would con
sequently 1)0 a heavy burden on tho
county, tho judges havo accepted his
promise, and bo lie mado for Portland ;
hut in caso ho imposes himself any moro
upon tho rights of a priest and tho feel
ings of Catholics, let him be arrested
and put in his proper placo tho peni
tentiary. Carved With a Dirk.
For somo timo tho pcaco of our Stato
has been undistuibod by an encounter of
suflicicnt bitterness to causo death to
tho assaulted. It is broken howover by
a man named Geo. Long, at Comstock
Station on tho Oregon and California
railroad. An ill feeling has existed be
tween him and a section boss named S.
Farroll for somo timo, caused wo believe
by Farrell circulating stories about
Long's wife, who is tho mother of fivo
children. Another causo to culminato
tho troublo in a tragedy was a trilling
ntlair which occurred on the Fourth.
Long, maddened by tho stories against
his wifo and family, on Monday last be.
camo desperate, and procuring a knifo
assaulted Farroll, stabbing him in eight
places about tho breast, ono of which is
a deep cut which will necessarily prove
fatal. Long went to Drains Station
nnd gavo himself up Dr. licit was
sent foi to attend tho wounded man,
who was not expected to livo through
last night. Lafayetto Lano has been
engaged to prosecuto Long whose pre
liminary examination will tuko placo to
day. A Changeable Star. .
Among the chronio thieves who havo
mado tho penitentiary thoir headquarters
for several years past, conspicuously
bright shines Charley Starr. Ho has
been sent soveral times to tho peniten
tiary for horso stealing etc,, and seems
incorrigible. A short timo ago ho was
pardoned by tho Governor upon the con
dition that he would at once leave the
State. He left Salem and the next that
was heard of him was on tho Grand
Hound Reservation. A party of Indians
found him wandering about in tho woods
and knowing tho conditions of his pardon
tied him with ropes in the woods, and
tho noxt morning took him to Dallas
where ho was cast into prison. Barrister
Daly of that place secured him his
liberty on a writ of habeas corpus. Starr
consulted a lawyer and upon ascertain
ing that he was liable to arrest at any
momerH concluded to glide, and struck
off toward Southern Oregon. Beyond
the shadow of a doubt, he is now going
through to California on a stolen horse,
and persons who have loose horses any
where near tho line of his march had
better keep a watch over them lest they
follow this young thief away to California.
