Ike Dead Mau'a Watch Gives Them Awny
Other Murderons Charges Hsiging
Over Them.
Portland, May 2o. At last
two men supposed to be
the murderers of Win. M. Barbour,
of the lirui of Barbour A Dangleish,
of Lebanon, have been arrested .nt
Butte, Montana. The dftcenveo
refuse to give their names at
present, but are confident they
have the right men.
Barbour went to Portland on
business, on Wednesday April 15.
Soon after his arrival he deposited
in the Bank of British Columbia
some $700 in money, which fie
brought with him. During the
day, in addition to making some
new purchases, he drew three
checks on the Bank of British
Columbia; of $75, payable to him
self ; another of about $300, pay
able to Messrs, Foster & Robert
son, and a third of about $-5
payable to Messrs. S. & (J. Gump,
lie spent tLe night of the 15th at
the llolton house, leaving thereon
the morning of the Kith, as if ex
pecting to return.- lie was seen
on the Dlth, by V. M. Amos, with
whom he was at one time associ
ated in the groceiy business on
Washington street, lie failed to
return to his hotel on the evening
of the IGth, as was expec:ed he
would, and nothing more was
seen or heard of hiin. The police
made diligent inquiry, but could
trace him only for a lew days after
his disappearance. Me was knowu
to have about $11'5 on his person
when last seen, but as $00 of this
is accounted for by a deposit, he
could not have had over $05 on his
person. lie also had a gold
watch and chain and a diamond
ring. 1 le spent some of his rr oney
for drinks, but how much is not
known. Several saloon men saw
him in their plaoes of business
diinking with friends, but when
they last, saw him they don't
remember.
When searched at the morgue
nothing was found on the body
except a small scrap of paper con
taining a icceipt for some goods
purchased from a Portland dry
goods lirui. The upper half of the
receipt was torn oil, so that the
receipt amounted to absolutely
nothing for the purpose of identifi
cation. In his necktie there was
a square gold pin with star and
crescent ornaments. There was a
pearl in the crescent and a garnet
in the star. This pin led to the
identification of the remains. The
front of the head was crushed in,
and from a hole in the back of the
head evidently a bullet hole
the braius were oozing out.
That Barbour was foully dealt
with there has never bpen auv
doubt. The injuries on the head
were evidence of this. The fact
that all his money, watch and
chain aud diamond ring were
missing naturally led to the in
ference that he was murdered for
his money. The general supposi
tion is that he was murdered
somewheie in the city, and thr.t
the body was then carried off and
dumped into the river at Pen
noyer's mill.
i lie public will be glad to hear
that the murderers a-e l.kely to
be brought to justic.
It is learned to-night that .the
names oi lhe :ncn under arrest at
Bntte are Kdward Rice and 'ieo.
White. The name of the third
man whom the ollicers are looking
for, cannot be ascertained. He is
described as a large Swede and
they are all said to be cx-convicts.
The Swe e and Rice answer to the
description of Kapa murderers.
The Swede was known to have
been in Butte a few days ago, but
all trace of him has been lost. The
officers are expected to arrive here
with the prisoners next Tuesday.

garding another match w ith Cor
bett, Peter Jackson said to-day :
''I am perfectly willing to th'ht "it
out. and, in fact, 1 think that is
the only course open to us."
Jackson said he had, on leaving
Australia, promised the Sydney

fioddard put up the forfeit, he
Jackson would meet him. Jack
son said Le has since been in
formed that the club had arranged
a match and he had accordingly
sent a letter by the last steamer
afliruiing his willingness to keep
his promise, but stating that he
would not leave for Sydney until
summoned by cable. He said his
letter should reach Sydney to
morrow, and he would allow ten
days for a reply, and if none was
received he wo'ul 1 agree to another
match with Corbett within the
time named by the latter, that is
three months iron) this date. He
further staled that should God
dard hold him to the match and
he, Jackson, should win, lie would
make no otner engagements but
return here and giye Corbett the
first ma'.ch.
Jim Corbett to day received a
telegram from the New Orleans
Olympic club, oflering a $12,000
purse for a light between him and
Slaviu. Coibutt replied that he
would be in New Vork in two
weeks ami he would then talk
light. He states that he probably
will not engage in another contest
for a year, w lien he w ill be larger

Constitutionality of the Law.
Portland, .May 2.1. A case
that promises to be of great inter

this state, is now peuding before
Judge Shattuck in the etate cir

board of medical examiners, to
compel them to grant hiin a license
for practicing medicine iu this
state, and upon the outcome of
this issue hinges the constitntion
alities of the medical laws of Ore
gon. Dr. P.armore claims to be a
graduate of a college in goctl
standing. The state medical
board claim that the college, al
though an old one, is not in good
standing, for the reason that
it requires only a two-term course
for graduation. Dr. Barmore was
given an opportunity to display
his medical knowledge in an ex

At Boise City Doing Immense
Damage.
Boise Citv, May 23. A cloud
burst occurred one mile north of
this city this aftei noon in Culver
Gulch. A great volume cf water
ten feet high gathered in a deep
and natrow bed of an old creek
and swept down to the mouth of
the gulch, where Cottonwood creek
runs from another direction. The
latter creek formerly ran through
this city but its course has been
diverted by a tlume. The Hume
was broken by the force
of the water and a Hood
rushed into the town flooding
a great portion of it with several
feet of water. Considerable dam
age was done to the United States
gjvernment buildings and parade
grounds. Henry Rossback, living
in Curie sv gulch, saw the flood
coming and only bid time to take
his family to a place cf safety
when the flood carried away his
house. The city loses heavily by
the destruction of the flume. It is
estimated the loss will reach
$40,000.

day ended the court of inquiry 'so
far as taking the testimony is con
cerned in tbe Hunt lynching case.
The court will arrive at its conclu
sion Monday and forward ita
rcpori, to the war department at
Washington, I). C. Corporal
Arnold was examined to-day. He
is one of the men now in tbe
guard house and is accused of
having given arms for the lynch
ing. No information could be ob
tained from him. The soldiers
say the reason they lynched Hunt
was because they heard that Pros
ecuting Attorney Blanford would
not convict tbe prisoner because
the gr.mblers bad contributed to
the campaign fund at his election.
Col. Compton was again put on
the stand. He read a statement
in which lie says: "I wish to
make clear the reason which gov
erned me, after notifying Captain
Smith the second time on the
evening of the 24th of April to Bee
that his troop was in readiness to
act at once if called on during the
night. In concluding to place his
troop on the edge of town, at the
reservat ion gate, at 10 o'clock in
stead of earlier in the evening, it
was because the only information
had w as most vague and the inti
mation wa3 conveyed in such a
manner that no reasonable man
would from it have been impressed
with alarm. It was thought I
knew the men of this command,
ami it was not possible to believe
the soldiers of this garrison could
so far forget themselves aa to
make an attack on the jail, and it
was beyond human probability
that even if such an attack was
thought of it would be made so
early in the evening, at an hour
when the city ot walla Walla
would be alive with its citizens,
and at a time when an alarm
would have caused an assembly of
its people within a very few
minutes. 1 knew the jail
was perfectly secure against
almost any attack, if only ably de
feuded )y eiinply keeping the
doors closed, it would have render
ed it safe against this mob, bal
their efloi ts continued for hours or
days, The sherifT, the custodian
of this jail, was supposed to be a
man ot courage, and could any
reasonable supposition lead one to
believe that the doors would be
opened to persons supposed to be
bent upon vengeance, upon the
simple demand from the outside.
A notification of an attack would
have enabled Captain Smith, with
his troop in readiness, to respond
from the reservation gate witbin
live or six minutes, and had he
been in the gtrrison, within ten or
twelve mir.utes. Nearly all the
participants are young men from
22 to 20 years of age and of no pre
ious service to the present enlist
ment. I have known tbe army
for thirty years, and the system
upon which its former workings
were based seem to be changing
witiiin the last lew ve.irs. Tne
new to le of military ethics have
been pioduced. This code has had
a tendency to separate the soldier
from his rillic-er, to a very wide de
gree. I ins new mode ot govern
ment has produced results more
and more apparent every day wo
live. The old unwavering loyalty
of the soldier for his officer is fast
disappearing, discipline is becom
ing irksome, restriction is being
considered as an affliction 'and
proper reproof has, in some instan
ces, been deemed an insult and
aroused anger.
