SI TIE MASSACRE
MRS. CASON TELLS
OF WHITMAN'S DEATH
As n Chilli Slio Saw the Chj usch Mur
der the Missionary . Part Her
Own Father Whs Killed In tlie
Mixtion OrK Mill Two Sick Men,
SuIIh' uml Hnvley, Were Tortured
a neck Before. Being Killed.
Mis. James P. Cason, who recent
ly died at Spray, Wheeler county,
was one cf the very few survivors of
the Whitman massacre and as a lit
tle girl, witnessed the horrible butch
ery of the Whitman party by the
Cayuseo on November 29, 1847.
Shortly bpfore her death Mrs. Cason
wrote the following brief account of
her recollection of the tragedy:
"It was on the 29th of November,
1S47, about 2 o'clock In the after
noon that the Indians broke out and
murdprcd Dr. and Mrs. Whitman and
eight others. There were six families
In an adobe house not far from the
doctor's house. My father and I oc
cupied an upptr room where we
conked our meals and slept. He had
come and had his dinner, his last
dinner and had gone to work. He
was attending the grist mill. That
was the last time that I ever saw
my poor dear father.
. Saw Famous Massacre.
"I was washing the dishes when I
heard the report of a gun. It. was tjio
gun that killed Gillian, the tailor. He
was doing some sewing of some kind
when an Indian stood In the door and
shot him. At the same time the hor
rible work was going on outside. I
and some others went up stairs where
we could look from a window ami
see a part of the conflict.
"Near the doctor'? house three or
four men were butchering a beef.
Then I saw them engaged with quite
a number of Indians. Mr. Kimball
was dealing hard with several, hav
ing an ax to fight with. He fought
desperately for awhile, but they over
powered hjm and dlsembowled him.
I saw Mr. Hall chased hy an Indian
with an uplifted tomahawk. The In
dian was on a horse but Mr. Hall
made his escape.
"Meanwhile Mrs. Whitman had
barred the doors and windows to
keep them out of the house so long
as possible, but they broke In. I
saw them break Into the house, led
by Joe Lewis, the Instigator or the
trouble. There they finished their
bloody work, for that day.
"Mr. Sails and Bewley were sick
and were not killed that day. A
week later they were killed on their
beds. I saw Bewley lying outside the
house, with his head almost severed
from his body. He law there all
night. All of the dead bodies were
burled In one grave by the four men
that were not killed, Elam Young
and his two sons and Mr. Smith.
"So 1 was left to the charltv of tho
people, perfect strangers. You all
know how an orphan., would fare
among strangers. An orphan Is soon
not wanted any longer. In 1849 my
brother went to California, but be
fore lie went he found me a home
with Mrs. A. L. Lovcjoy, who was
very careful of my welfare. There "1
remained until I married James P.
Cason, son of F. C. Cason of Clacka
mas, who crossed the plains In "43.
"V.Tien we arrived at Oregon City
a lady there gave me a piece of bread
and molasses and I did enjoy eating
that piece of bread. Bread was not
very plentiful in those days with
everybody, but there was plenty of
salmon with anything else that a
person could get, sometimes boiled
wheat for a change. I do not know
how many of the survivors of that
massacre art living that arc a oM
as l am.
"I have the picture of Dr. Whit
man's buildings and of the neglecte:!
graves of him and the others that
were killed."
SPOKANE FUEL SHORTAGE.
O. R. & N. Company Is short of Coal
and Famine Threatened.
That the O. R. & N. and the Spo
kane & Inland companies are short
of coal Is demonstrated by the fact
that both roads placed cars in the
yards of the Union Fuel and Ice com
pany yesterday morning, says a Spo
kane dlBpntfh. The Snokane & In
land placed five cars and the O. R.
N. four. The latter rond Is said
to be particularly hard up for coal.
The fuel company was able to sup
P'y the Inland comffanv hot nnt ho
O. R. & N. The coal which the two
companies were In competition to
secure was domestic nnd not steam.
It Is very difficult for the railroads,
It is said, to secure sufficient coal to
keep up traffic.

matter and Farlow went and got

and called him out. A fight ensued
and while Wilson and Smith were
struggling, Wilson reached around
Smith and shot him In the .back.
Smith Is still alive.- He Is well-known

OLD TIME PAY CARS.
C. l- Carter Tells an Entertaining
Story In American for July.
C. F. Carter writes entertainingly
In the July American Magazine of
the old-time railroad pay car. Here
is Mr Carter's description of the sight
that used to meet the eyes when you
walked down a siding and entered the
pay air:
. A metal coin rack crammed to the
muzzle with three denominations of
yellow boys, flanked with silver, and
on the desk behind It a very large
wooden tray on which were long col
umns of yellow coins. D'ye ever see
anything so pietty in all your life?
No wonder your eyes stuck out until
you could have used them for hat
pegs.
And all the time an exquisitely
musical "tinkle, tinkle, clink-clink"
welled up from the coin, rack and
counter in response to the calls of
the assistant paymaster. Talk about
Beethoven's symphonies!
If it were not for that strong wire
screen you could have touched that
fascinating tray. For the infinitesi
mal fraction of a second a wicked
thought flitted through your brain.
T':en you almost fainted as your rov
ing eve ttared down the barrel of a
monstrous revolver. It was only in
a rack, but it was within easy reach
of the paymaster's hand and most
eloquent for all that. Half a dozen
of Its fellows lay In the handiest
places, with as many Winchesters ly
ing on tatles and settees, came In
strong, on the chorus.
Hurriedly your vagrant wits busied
themselves with all the Sunday
school lessons you had ever learned.
As your subconsciousness perceived
tl-at the head of the road's secret
service department stood on the plat
foim with his eyes intent on every
man In the car at once, while Con
ductor Llr.kenpln stood on the ground
outside very much alert, with his coat
tail bulging suggestively, your bosom
swelled with pride over the watchful
care the company had exercised to
bring its honest tollers their hard
earned money.
FLAX CROP IS GOOD.
Eugene Bosse of Salem, Has
Acres This Year.
ISO
The late rains have been regarded
as showers of blessing by more than
one class of farmers, but perhaps no
one has greater occasion for, rejoicing
than has Eugene Bosse, the 'flax man,
says the Salem Statesman.
Mr. Bosse has 150 acres planted to
flax and hemp, nd had not the rain
come so opportunely his crop would
have been decreased to the extent of
several hundred dollars. The hemp
especially cannot withstand dry
weather, but under average weather
conditions and rich soil produces re
markable crops In Oregon.
While for the nse of It as fibre, no
effort Is made to cultivate Its seed
bearing qualities, "experiments have
proven Its adaptation to this climate.
The seeds are large and oily and have
a sweetness not found In the Imported
grain. , Until Its Introduction here by
Mr. Bosse for its use as fibre It had
been restricted mainly to the feeding
of song birds.
The hempralslng Industry, however.
Is to revive new impetus In the state,
for Mr. Bosse has promised to erect
a factory at Corvallls In which to work
up the crude product If the fnrmers In
that vicinity will plant 500 acres of It,
so that he will be assured of suffi
cient material to keep the factory
going. L. L. Brooks, a prominent
farmer of Corvallls. Is In the city
now for the purpose of conferring
with Mr. Bosse on the subject and
will later work up an interest among
the farmers In his locality.
New Sewers at Lewlstnn.
The city council passed the rew
resolution at Its adjourned session
last night which passed Its first read
ing and was referred to the appropri
ate committee. The assessment s
levied aralnst 2650 separate properties

ing the pumping, plant. $115,000.
