' Launched. We loaro through a private
latter from Pen d'Oreille Lake, that Messrs.

She was to have started on her (rial trip on

Tiie Grand Lodge I. 0. 0. F. will assemble
in this city to morrow. The 0. S. N. Com
pany have on this occasion exhibited an
other of their praiseworthy acts iu giving
orders along thoir line of steamers that the
representatives to the Grand LoJge be pass
ed at half the usual rate of travel. This is
the more worthy since it came unsolicited.
It docs credit to tho .officers of the com
pany. Indians About. During the night of the
4th inst.,. some sixty animals were slolen
from packers encampod on Reynolds creek,
about eight miles from Ruby City, on the
road from Boise City to Owyhee. Tho evi
dence that the robbery was committed by In
dians is conclusive. Most of the animals
were mules of the very best quality, aud in
excellent condition; One entire pack-train,
consisting of forty thrc.e animals, was lost.
The remaining seventeen were from other
trains camped in the vicinity. A party of
packers followed the Indians some seventy
miles, but were unable to overhaul them or
to recover a siogle animal. Tureo of the
mules were killed by the Indiana on their
retreat, and pieces cut from them for food.
The total loss and damage is estimated, at
$10,000.
A Shooting Affair, From a gentleman
who arrived from above by yesterday's boat
we loarn that a shooting affair occurred at
Crawford's Station, at the foot of the Blue
Mountains, on Friday last. A man named
Jeasce Eaton, resili ng at Spanish Hollow,,
in this county, had. two horses stolen from
him some time since and tracked them to
wards Crawford's. On arriving there, he
went out a short distance from the bouse
and discovered his animals, and also a man
named John Williams, the supposed thief,
sitting near a saddle. What occurrod be
tween the parties is- not known further than
that Eaton instantly levelled his revolvor at
Williams and commenced firing. Williams
ran for his pictol which was a short distance
off, but. fell before reaching it, having re
ceived two shots under the shoulder. Wil
liams was still alive on Sunday, though it is
thought he cannot possibly recover. Eaton
was arrested and- taken to Umatilla, where
the affair will be tried before the Circuit
Court now in session there.
Citizbnb' Msitino. Tho meeting at the
Court House, last evening, was largely at
tended. The meeting was called to order by
Mr. C. S. Miller.. Mr. II. A. Hoxue was

tucm.
The Secretary read a letter from Mr. A. II
Morohead,, Secretary of the Grant County
Protective--Association, asking aid from th
citizens of this city to carry out the object
of tbe Association..
Messrs. Haft, Denny, Hoguo and ITumason
addressed the meeting as to tbe best means
to be adopted and the policy to be pursued
by the citizens ot tne Danes.
On motion, a committee consisting of.

Dalles and solicit subscriptions in aid of the

on this road, and praying for tbe necessary
protection to our citizens. Also to me
morialise tbe Executive of this State to.thn
' same effect, and ask that be apply to the mil
itary tor tue protection needed. - ,

Pass Him Around. Wo learn that a man
named J. E. Vimon. is traveling through the
country and representing himself as a Spe
cial Postal Aitcnt. In this way he has man
aged to get " dead-headed " over steamboat
and stage lined. We have good authority
foe saying that th fellow is an imposter. At
last accounts be was traveling through the
Boise country. .Our friends of the press will
pass bis name around, and thus warn stage
men and postmasters against the imposition.
Walla Walla Statesman.
The scantimonious cuss passed through
Boisio City and has gone to Montana to play
out bis pame. W beard of him down on
the road toward Walla Walla playing him
self off for a Special Agent and Methodist
droachcr, calling upon ''the brethren" at
different places, and promising them each
a Post Oflice, but were not 'then quite Btire
to "open him," and so waited for him to ar
rive in town. It appears now that he came
and went several weeks ago, being seen in
this city by only a few persons, but not wittT
out borrowing sundry little sums of money
of some unsuspecting though benevolent cit
izens here. Tins Vinton takes a hand at
temperence lecturing sometimes, or almost
anything that will give him an audience and
pass - We advise our exchanges to the
east of us to have an eye on him. Idaho
Statesman. .
The individual above Referred to is a peri
patetic temperance lecturer, one-horse poli
tician and bummer. In the assumed charac
ter of an Agent of the Post Office Department,
he traveled from California overland to
Portland ; thence up the Columbia river to
Wallula; 'thence overland to Boise City;
thence on the Salt Lnko route as far as Bear
river, and thence into Montana Territory,
passing free over the entire distance ; pay
ing few hotel bills, but borrowing money
from postmasters and others on the route.
It is estimated that the gross amount out of
which he swindled mail contractors and
others on the trip, falls little short of a thou
sand dollars. At Helena be was detected
and exposed by Postal Agent Lawrence.
Yinton was fortunate enough to escape being
hanged by the people, but they notified him
to leave the country immediately. At last
advicos he was seen passing out of the town,
making most eloquent time on the back of a
delapidated mule. Pass him around.
Warns Bluffs Road. A party of seven
men smrieu oiu lo-any ior .Montana via White
Bluffs. The party . was fitted out here with
both provisions and horses And are fully I
I
applied for a long trip. A letter received
from a gentlemau who left here last week
says that he passed several loaded wagons
on the route near the Yakima river. The
caflou road is now opon for teams. The
wagons passed by the gentleman referred to,
ent through without any difficulty. Parties
staTting out on horseback will now find no
trouble in following the road as there are
plain wagon tracks all the way to While
Bluffs. Mr. Joslyn, who left here with his
family, writes from Whlta Bluffs, May 10th
"We made the trip here in five days, and did
not drive hard;, found tbe road better than
had anticipated. I have no doubt but
those who go the Columbia river and Black
foot mines with stock will eventually come
this way." It is now confirmed beyond a
doubt that the road from the Dalles to the
Columbia river and Montana, mines Is the
best and shortest route to reach those dig
gings. One thing la favor of this route is,
that it ".works itsolf into notoriety without
the amount-of newspaper "puffing" bestow
ed on up countrytrails. We are sati.-fied to
let public opinion solve the question, know
ing that a decision will be given in favor of
the White Bluffs route.
Military Ordbrt Department of Nevada
Below is an order issued at Fort Churc
hill, dated April 10th, by Lieut. Col. Hooker,
which fully explains itsolf. Why tbe com
mander of the Department of Columbia has
not the same authority, or if he has, why he
does not exercise it in protecting travel on
tbe road from the Dalles to Owyhee, is some
thing we cannot account for.
1. Commanding officers of posts in north
ern Nevada will furnish such escorts as may
be necessary for the saft-ty of trains of four
.:?;.tJ!.sB.,S!
Owyhee mines. The limited number of
troops serving in this district at the present
time will not admit of o corts being turnisb-
ed to isolated and straggling teams. Team
sters and others passing through a hostile
Indian country.wnoafa.- unwilling or neg
lect to provide themselves wliu arms to' as
sist In their' own defense, are unworthy of I
toe protection of United States troops.
II. Trains rM4vlgj Ejection provided
for in this order will be required to trans
port the necessary subsistence and forage
for their escorts, the escorts to proceed no
further on the routes than may be necessary
for 'he safety of the trains. '
III. All troops not required for escort and
for the performance of the necessary camp
duties will be kept actively employed hunt
ing down hostile savages wherever they may
be found more especial attention being
given to that portion of country along the
routes from California and Nevada to Idaho,
and in the immediate vicinity of advancing
civilization.
