Ho was apprehendod and brought to aaleni and lias remalnod in jail ever since. Last Wednesday he had his trial beforo Judgo Harding and was dis charged without blame. Whatever may have been Dick's faults, it seems that ho has boon mado the victim of somo one's inalico. He camo to Portland this morning whero ho has secured work. Descending Jnatloo.

As tho minos of Eastern Oregon prom iso to rival any ever opened on tho Pa cifio Coast, tho people must feel an in terest in their progress. A correspond ent sends tho following communication to an Eastern Oregon oxchango: No mining camp on tho Pacific Slope has finer prospects than Granite creek. Tho hopes and expectations of tho own era of the different ledges aro bullded upon no uncertain foundation. If threo or four quartz mills and two or throo thousand miners aro not busy thoro in unearthing from uaturo het hidden treas ures of gold and silver within eighteen' months wo Bhallbe greatly disappointed. Tho main tunnel in tho Monumental tnino has cut through sixteen distinct ledges; tho average width of these ledges is about sixteen inches.

Tho Astorian publishes tho following dotaila of a tuicido: A dog belonging to Mr. Danzigor of this city, committed Huicido yesterday by jumping into tho bay at inch wator. JNo causo can bo assigned fot tho rash deed unless it was that this particular canino got a huge disgust at soeing so many worthless curs in tho stroots.

Considering tho danger to navigation on tho Upper Columbia river tho 0. S. N. Co. have been vory fortunate during tho past season, tho boats having sus tained but few injuries of any oonso quenco. At Umatilla rapids oxists ono of the most difficult points to navigation. Two immonso rocks lie in tho main channol between which boats must run with a swift current, thoro being not moro than fivo feet to sparo on cither sido of tho boat. Last week tho Moun tain Queen ran on ono of thoso rocks and swung around across tho current, striking her whoel on tho other rock, crushing it to nieces. Her forward part was not stove but morely dug out by tho collision. Sho was hauled off by tho Gates nnd went into Winter quarters. The most serious accident of tho season occurred to tho handsome steamer D. S. Baker on Saturday last, whilo coiner up tho river under a full head of steam ' downward, tho gold which preponder in order to nmko progress against tho atcd near tho surfaco has diminished strong current.

At almost the samo instant another explosion occurred, filling tho lower room with steam. Great excite mont followed, as everybody thought tho boat was geing to blow up. Tho sol diers flow around liko mad and every body was frightened. When tho steam cleared away it was ascertained that both cylihder heads had been blown to frag ments and strange to say not a man hurt. Ono soldier had a holo knocked through his coat near his breast, tho iron just cutting his vest, und nnothor lost tho ornamental figuro-hoad from his cap by another stray piece of tho casting, but not one was scratched.

A Perilous Situation, Two Man Upset From a Skiff on the Uppor Vlllamctto Narrow Eaoapo. Late yosterday afternoon, as tho steamer Occident, Cajit. Miles Bell, was coming down the river, and when about a quarter of u milo bolow Eola, and ob ject was scon bobbing up und down in the (water, which, on close inspection, proved to be a man clinging to a snag in tho river Captain Bell immediately stopped the steamer, und ordered a small boat to bo lowered for tho rescue of the imperiled person. Upon being brought on board tho Occident, the man, whose namo is Bos, said that he and John Cline started to como down to Salem in a skiff, and when this side of Eola, tho boat they were in struck a snag and capsized, throwing tho men into the water. On coining to the surface, Ross grasped tho snag, which was not much thicker than a man's arm, whilo Cline got upon the skill' and floated down the current. Ross had been in the water two or threo hours when rescued, and have held on but a little longer. Cline, who it Ls feared had been drowned, is alive and well, having been rescued from his perilous situation by Hank Sterling, who lives on tho bank of the river a short distanco aliovo town, on tho Polk county sido. Cline was well nigh gone from cold anil exhaustion when Hank's friendly hand saved him. Etiquetto requires that a call shou not be moro than 15 minutes. T h rule docs not apply to nowspajwr offices.

Roy will probably recovor, although affected with hemorr hage of tho lungs, and too weak to como down as a witness. Paymaster Ring, of tho Jamestown, is on board en route to San Francisco for funds. Lieut. Ellsworth, of tho marines, is also on board in chargo of fivo prisoners for Benicia, and Jack Feigh with tho lody of James Burns which ho packed on sleds a distance of two hundred miles.

A Horrlblo Outrago A Young Lady Named Holbrook Overpow ered Near Bolao City by a Stranger and Her Person Violated. The following account of a fiendish outrago was received last evening by telegraph : "On Wednesday at about 11 o'clock A. M., whilo Gcorgo Hoi brook's daughter, a girl tdxtcen years old, who livs forty miles nolow hero on tho Boise river, was out not moro than forty yaids from tho house a stout built, middled aged man came up behind her out cf some brush, unobsened, caught her and choked her o that she could not sneak, and ravished her. The girl madu a desperate struggle and had her clothe nearly torn oil" her. Sho soon after got to tho house, whero thero was no ono but her mother and little children. Her father was hent for, a milo off, and tho neighborhood turned out fifty strong and hunted all day Wednesday nnd aio still hunting for tho man. Ho appear to be a stranger in tuo neighliornood, and is supposed to Leloug to u gang of cittlo drivers. The excitement is gieat, and if the right man is caught ho will he hung without ceremony." tho Comstoclc It will crush about ten tons of ore. Tho mill started nn on tho 10th; but tho outsido world should un derstand that tho Monumontal is not tho only rich ledge in tho district; on tho contrary, wo think tho Bsagle boy's claim, tho claim of John W. Larkin.and tho Northern Light, aro equally as ric'.i. The Beaglo brothors havo taken out rock much richor in gold nnd equally as rich in silver as any that over camo from tho Monumental. Tho Sunset nnd Morning Glory aro both good sized lodges which prospect well and assay high. Woostcr brothers havo two or threo rich ledges and aro working them.

Work on tho Northern Pselflo Railroad Being Pushod Along Rapldly-Scaxolty of Water. Work is being prosecuted with great vigor on this line from Ainsworth in land. Thero aro now 17 miles of grad ing finishod, two mi.'cs of railroad iron on tho ground and 30 miles morn on the Columbia which will be landed within 10 days. By Spring 25 miles of track will bo laid; an engino and cars are now en routo from Tacoraa. Tho company is laboring undor many difficulties, not tho least of which is tho scarcity of water along the track; in a distanco of 21 miles from tho river they havo only succeeded in obtaining wator in two places, and theso aro wells sunk to a depth of 128 feet, so they havo to draw wutnr from thoso two wells by means of buckots, and haul it over 15 miiei to supply the whole force. A Girl's Enoounter with a Deer. Four or fivo miles back of this place, in an old log cabin, lives Thomas Hon dershot Ho has a protty daughter ubout 18 years of ago. Clara Hondcr shot can row a boat, shoot a gun or trap a boar as well as any man in tho county. A few days ago she started across tho lako known as tho great WUker Pond, to visit a friend. Sho used a light boat belonging to her father, and carried, as was her custom, a small rifle sluug across her shoulder by a loathcr strap. When nearly in tho center of tho lako she discoveied an object in tho water, a short distanco off, and approaching nearer, found that it was a large fivo piongod buck, which had been driven in by dogs. Sho immediately unslung her gun and, after taking aim, tired. The ball passed through the deer's neck, making a painful wound. Tho animal, enraged, struck at the boat with its front foot, completely shattering the fragile bark, which sunk, leaving Miss Hender shot in tho water with the infuriateJ buck. She was plucky and could swim well, ami as tho deer camo toward her she caught it by tho horns and plunged her hunting knifu into its neck, killing it instantly. Sho then called for help, and as none arrived mIio nwam to tlio shore, about a quarter of a mile and Lurried noino. .She put on dry clothes and procuring another bout, rowed out to whero tho buck was floating und towed it to bhoie. When dressed, the animal weighed nearly 280 pounds. This is tint seventh deer Miss Hender idiot has killed. A Libelous Letter. In tho San Francisco Call of rcocnt dato We find tho following articlo copied from tlio Army and Navy Journal, with out a word of commont, which was the same as to say thoy indorsed it Tho news editor of that paper must cither be ignorant of facts or wilfully prints an articlo which greatly mssreprosonts facta and is a web of misstatements from bo- ginning to end : on earth that could havo made thorn fal tor in their determination to go down to Oregon City and dio liko men for tho salvation of their tribo. At Oregon City theso men walkod with their heads orcct and with tho bearing of Senators from their little boat, amid tho gibes and jeers of a bru tal crowd, to tho jail which was to bo the last covering thoy would, ovor havo over thoir heads. Tho trial camo on, tho jury wan im panelled, and Captain Claiborno, of tho Mountod Rifles, volunteered to defend ino urst sottiomonts in Uregon, somo tho Indians, who wero told that thoy thirty years ago, wero made by a col ony ot Aicthodists. Uno of tho princi pal men among thorn was tho late Air., or Governor, Abernethy, as ho was called, as ho was for a short timo tho prominont Govornor of Oregon. Ho was the father-in-law of our genial Dop Uty Quartermaster-General Henry C. Hodges, an cxccllont man, and ho must not bo rcmombored as ono of those who was responsible for tho shocking pro ceedings wo are about to relate. A min ister by tho ramo of Whitman, wo be lievo, had gouo up to tho Walla Walla region, whero he was kindly received by the Cayuse and othor friendly Indi ans, who, whilo thoy did not particular ly desire to bo convertod to tho Christ ian faith as expounded by ono of Wes loy's followers, saw no special objoction to tho presenco of tho missionary. So thoy lived quietly along for n year or two; then tho mcaslos broko out among thl Indians, nnd a largo number of them wcro enrroid off. They woro told by thoir medicino mon that tho disease was owing to tho prosenco of tho whites and Mr. Whitman was notified that ho must leavo tho country. FilloJ with zeal for the cuusc, nnd not having scuso enough to grasp tho situation, ho refused to go. At this timo tho pcoplo of tho Hud son's Bay Company had great influouce with all tho Indians in that region, nnd tho good old Govornor, Peter Skcen Og don, was the chief factor of tho company at Fort Vancouvor. Ho was apprised of the state of feeling among tho Indi ans near tho mission by tlio Indians themselves, nnd ho was entreated by them to urge Whitman to go nway, for if ho did not ho would surely bo killed. Tho governor wroto up to tho mission advising them to leave, for a whilo at least, until tho Indians should becomo quiot, which thoy would do oh soon us tho measles had run its courso among them. His efforts wcro useless, and euro enough, ono day in 1817, wo be lieve, the mission was cloauod out, tho missionary and nearly all thos? con nected with it being killed. An Indian war follows. This was carried on for somo months, and with littlo damage, but sufficient for a claim by tho Torritory upon the gen eral Govcrumont for untold amounts of money. Two or three years later, when tho country had commenced to fill up with emigration, and after tho regiment of mounted riflemen and two companies of tho Frst Artillery had taken post in Oregon, the people began to think that it would be well to stir up the matter of the Whitaan family. General Jo Lano had been sent out as Governor in lUi'J, and he, doubtless, thought it would bo a good thing for him politically to humor tho people of the Territory. Lano was a vigorous, resolute Western man, who had been a general officer wcro to havo a fair trial, and that thoy would not be punished unloss thoy woro found guilty. To all this they paid no heed. They said it was all right, but thoy did not understand a word of what thoy wcro compollcd to listen to for sov eral days, and thoy cared nothing for tho forms of law. They had como to dio and when somo witnesses sworo that thoy recognized thom as tho very Indi ans who killed Whitman all of which was explained to them not n tnusclo of their faco changed, although it was sus pected that tho witnesses wcro novor near tho mission at tho timo of tho mas sacre. Tho trial was over and, of course, tho Indians wcro condomncd to bo hanged. Without a murmur or sigh of rccret and with a dicmitr that would havo impressed a Zulu with profound pity, theso men walked to tho gallowH and wero hanged, whilo a crowd of civi lized Americans mon, women nnd chil dren of tho nineteenth century looked on and laughed nt their last convulsive twitches. Wo lmvo read of heroes of all times, but novor did wo read or bcllcvo that such heroism as these Indians exhibited could exist Thoy know that to bo ac cused was to bo condemned, and they would bo executed in tho civilized town of Oregon City just as surely as would a poor woman accused of being a witch hao boon executed in tho civilized Christian town of Salem, in tho good Stuto of Massachusetts, 200 years ago. A generation has passed away sinco tho execution, or murder, of tho Indians at Oregon City. Governor Lano still lives, not as ex-Prusidcnt, but as a poor, but sigorous old man, down in tho Roguo River Valloy, Tho littlo nasty town of Oregon City was tho sceno of a self-immolation ns great ns nny of which wo read in history, and thero woro not threo persons thero who appre ciated it Tlio accursed town is, wo hear, still nastier than over, and tho in telligent jury no man of whom dared to havo a word of pity or admiration for theso poor Indians with tho spectators of that horrid scone, aro either dead and damned, or they aro sunk in tho horrid oblivion that is the fate of thoso who aro born without souls. Perished In the Flames. The Power ot" Bat3. It was a woman's rights meeting. Tho Breaker was saying: Lot us take our htand right heic, mid firmly lesolve that neither the votes nor arguments of the opKsito sex nor any power on this earth, shall turn us sui'ie or moe us ono inch from the positi " Just here a wicked bat flew into the room, nnd the meetiug ndjourn'-d with o much quick new that iom of tho members lost their luck hair. Tlio t-ptuker, who could not bo turned aside," run seventeenth from last in getting out of tho front dcor. And it is not certain that the bat was one of the "opjioiito sax," either, Nor. Hera'd. during tho Mexican war, nnd he then had Presidential aspiration. So tho Governor came to Fort Vancouver, whero tho headquarters of the depart ment wero established, under Colonel Loring, of the Mounted Rifles, and pro cured a small escort, with which ho pro ceeded to hunt up tho Indians con cerned in tho majaacro and demand their surrender. By this time tho In dians had begun to comprehend tho power of tho Government, and when tho Governor found them and explained tho nature of tho mission, they went into council to decide wluit was to bo done. After duo deliberation, thoy weio con vinced that if they i of used to como to any terms they would bo attacked by thu soldiers, ot whom they had deadly fear, anil obliged to abandon tho coun try forevor. So thoy mot tho Governor and tho hoad chief said that thoy had heard what ho hail to say. It was true that his people had killed the whites at tho mission, but they did ho for tho rea son that they really thought that a ter rible disease had been brought among them by tho whites; that thoy had begged them to go away from them, for they did not wish to kill them, and that they only killed them to Rave their own lives, as thoy thought Ho nuid that for this tho whites down tho Columbia had mado war upon them irtnl killed many more of their people than had been killed ut the mission, and t.iey thought they ought to lo satisfied. As thoy weio ot, three of their principal men had volunteered to go back with tho Governor to Oregon City to bo tried fori Again it bocomes our painful duty to chroniclo death in tho flames.
