-by thj new style of .Recording time, or

Ihree ot-fo'iir shots ih rapid succession
were heard fri tile northwest corner of
the square. The town was very quiet,
and scarcely a soul 6a the streets except
the parties directly interested in those
shots. It is not known who did the

Cargill is . .
i. gooB officer
Indefatigable in the discharge of his duty
and a stranger to fear. His ruggedncss
and atliraelj harsh treatment of refrac
tory individuals has made him many bit
ter enemies, but ia proportion to their
bitterness is the enthusiastic suppof t'of
those who admire him accorded. He
has held. the office a Jon time, an! this
is the third time lie, has beeu shot, be
sides being cut through the hand rwitli a
bowie knife. 'Notwithstanding these
provoking facts, he has never seriously
hurt a prisoner, which ia that much to
his credit, to Sayr tho .leHsi. Personally
he Iras the respect of the entire commu

SATURDAY KIGHT '
a littlo before twelve, Cargill and his
two deputies, Beville and Prindle, ar
rested and incarcerated a drunken man.

Upon returning ffnm tla fcity prison,
they saw anotnef nidi vidua! 'wh5seSihed

tidn was the southeast comer of the
square, near the Bank saloon, Beville
going aloni; the south and wet sids of
the square, and . Cargill and Frrndle
searched the east and north, intending
to meet at tne north wist corner. Car
gill and Prindle reached the- corner, and
started to pass on by, when the former
observed

corner house. His first impression was
that a slibw figure had been left outside
by the owners of the store, but closer in
vestigation disclosed the error. Remark

suggested that something was going to
happen,. Cargill hardly had time to
turn his head before the aaftssin tired
and in-less time than seems possible at
east three and some say four calls
were made for his life. Two of the shots
were from a double-Weled gun, and
two f rom a pistol. Cargill was knocked
down by the first shot, and his
DEPUTY PR1SGLE RA5T,
leavin-''e chief to the tender mercies
of his assailants. Beville had not been
seen after the separation at the Bank sa
loon. He aays he was standing on the
vrraite corner when the shots were fired.
Immediately after thte firing ceased, the
assailants rartbin the daTkness, and it
ia supposed left town on ho.seswuicn
were stationed coriVenishtly.
CARGILL CRAWLED
to the residence of Dr. Benshaw, just
linuse. and was assist-
wcai i , ' ... . .
td into the house by the good old doctor
and his wife. Drl W. B. Marquam was
immediately summoned, and dressed the
WndH. The writer has a forty-four
calibre pistol ball which was taken from
Cargill's neck by Dr. Markham, having
a slfver from the shoulder blade firmly
aWched to it, and showing, by its bat
tered condition that it had a rough is
Me through the bono and sinew of ti e
doughty marshal. It will be labeled And
dated, and placed in a little cabinet with
"eight others of the amc character, each
having a h'utoryand a significance of its
'own. . t
S DUE TIME,
Mr. Cargill was transferred to his own
residence, wWe he was visited by quite
a number of citizens 'daring the; week.
He is doing as wel as a man so severely
wounded could do, and unless some un
favorable change takes Tace, will recov
er. It was a close call, and but for the
apparent excitability of the assassin, he
- would surely have been killed. He ex
hibits wonderful nerve, under the cir
cumstances. A reporter of the Tkibuue
Visited him Tuesday, to h-arn his condi
tibn and views., He was resting quietly j
hU mind vigoroin 4nd determination un
lia'kea. .
ins woujros .
Are seveh. Si?? tuckshot entered the
left leg and thigh, rilling from the aif-
kle to the middle of tne thigh. One is
very hear the knee joint, and may possi
bly causa stiffness. All of these which
did not pass through we're extracted save
one, which is lodged in the upper part of
the thigh; and baffles all attempts to lo
cate it up to this time The seventh

the jeft shoulder, just below the blade,
raiigeH upward and lodged under the skin
of the netTt: This ball damaged the
lone considerably, but the wound is less
painful than some of those iii ittt legJ
PLUCKY STILL.
The reporter having heard rumors that
Mr. Cargill would resign his office upon
getting well, inquired his purposes. "JSb,
sir, said he ; "I have said no such thing,
a id do not know how the rumor orijrina
ted. f realife that it is a dangerous po
sition for mc to hold, but I was elected
to it by the best citizens of the commu
nity, and if it is their desire for mo to
continue in olfice, 1 will do my duty un
flinchingly. They came pretty near get
ting me, but they like a heap of having
intimidated mc, and if it is the. wish of
my friends for me to continue ili office,
you can just say that in office I will stay."
IX CONCLUSION
The TRiCujfE is at : a loss for words to
condemn such acts as this attempt upon
the life of an officer while in the dis
charge of his duty. Assassination, next
to the violation of a helpless woman, is
the most revolting of all crimes. Manly
men can admire" the plucfe wlitch actu
ates one in calling his enemy to a per
sonal account while heated by passion,
and taking even chances before the' law
and in the tight ; but the murderer, who
secretes himself and selects the cover of
darknrs to do such deed., is lcyond the
pale of mercy. .There has beeii'enouph
blood spilt this way to float & steamer,
and the end is not yet J nor will it le as
long as fiends are loni m human shape.
If there is not 4 feed of burning hre,
eternal and ail pitiless, there should be
for the punishment of just such crimi
nals as the man or men who fired the
shots at CargilL
The gentleman mentioned above is a
son-in-law of Dr. Stewart. This from
Texas paper. Editor.
Who TVonlii'nt TTear Petticoats?
That's a goo'd article Mr. Cowley,
(though on can't rFAd it without feeling"
that vour generosity has been made the
subject of some woman's critiiisin) : I'll
give you a.nice chromo for all the spare
ones you have on hand, if you will be so
kind as to convince me in what you are
women's superior? It certainly is not
in modesty or depreciation of your own
value, for in that you are scarcely her
equal ; it surely is not in comeliness of
features cr amiability of disposition, for
there again you are lacking; nor is it in
steadfastness of purpose, purity of heart
or fidelity to your family.
Is your soul more elevated, your heart
more tender, your impulses more gener
ous than womanV t Are your ideas
broader, your perc ptions more acute,
your intellect stronger, your brain or
Ixxly of more precious material than
ours 1 No, then of what does your su
periority consist? True, you men caii
swear more oaths, drink more whiskey,
smoke mere tobacco, and tell more scan
dalous storie3 of other men's wives in
one hour, than any woman can in a
whole day. No doubt I am proving to
you my inferiority by acknowledging I
consider all those accomplishments su
perfluous. "Great is man's superiority
and so great is woman's weakness, he
must commanJ, she must obey." ,Ver
ily, verily, the Oracle hath fepokfen; read
reflect and grow wise ye inferior petti
coat wearers.
He modestly continues: "It is for
man to master, guide and protect the
heart, body and soul of woman. Do
you suppose a man exists who caii' mas
ter a woman's soul? .In this age such
an important assertion is unparalelled,
excepting among the Mormans, and they
because of their lieastly instincts, always
have been and ever will be outcasts from
all civilized society.
And again, what need has woman for
imVn to guide and protect htr, she hav
ing as many senses as man, can tread
the pathway of life without his guidance
as wcdl as with it. Can you explain
how so many unmarried ladies are earn
ing their daily bread and carrying an
Hinstaintd irame. Without this superior
guidance. And what has man to pro
tect woman from, only himself? Take
away woman's innate purity and sense of
honor and where is the man who would
protect her? He is the, first to cover
her with shame and then spurn her for
hing what ho has made h?r. On the
other hand if a woman is inclined to do
wrong, you may incase her in an armor
of mail and she will still iollow her own
sweet will. " When A woman will she
will, you may depend on't, and whn
she won't she won't, and that's the end
iV How cati a man being born of
woman, reared by woman, and all his
li'fe:throbb, advised to a greater or less
extent, by .Woman, be so greatly her su-
-fmriort .Where does be got b ex
tra quality of brains ? It can't bo he
gets any from his mother, because the
Attorney General for the State of Maf
suchusetta has declared a " VToman is
not a person' and since she is neither
fow.l nor reptile she must be merely a
thing, and tiling i made of a mixture of
clay, sal t,-soap and petticoats; can't have
much brain, therefore could'nt suro afry
tor their sons.
Every true woman lienors a true man
as every true man must honor women,
and lie is willing she should be consider
ed his equal in all things, if for north
er reason, lecause it would be extremely
bad taste in him to choose for a life coni
panien and the mother of his children
a creature intellectually his inferior
Equality before the law is not going
to wither the blossoms of purity, nor
the lov of home, husband and children
in any woman's heart.
I'll kee'p those chromed for you Mr

Prayer.
What a blessed thing it is the prayer
of the wicked availeth nothing. You
can hear them say things they wish and
a, the same time they would not have
them to come true for anything. You
2aiT see men cutting wood, they will
wish all the wood wa. in h-11. They do
not stop to think wh'at they would do
for something to warm them or to cook
their victuals. If anything goes wrong
they ill tell the Lord to d n it, when
it is worse alreaby than they want it to
be. and all sucn nonsense as that.
But on the other hand wh:ib a blessed
thing it is that the prayer of the right
eous availeth muck It makes us tlfink
so when we larn about t!ie Apostle Pe
ter who was in prison, for teachiug about
Jesus. He being m the inner prison,
his feet fast in the stocks, there was a
little prayer meeting at a house in the
village, and they prayed earnestly for
Peter and the anjrel sniote Peter on the
side, aud woke him up, and he was loos
ed f ft?m he stocks, and the prison doors
were all standing wide open. The lanre
gate was also open.
The jailer woke up, thinking his pris
oners all escaped, was going to take his
life, but Peter said 4 we are all here
It is much grander lb have Jesus say
" Thy sins are all forgiven," than it was
tj release Peter from prison. He went
to the house, rapped at the door. They
went to the door to see who was there.
and they were astonished to see Peter
standing at the door. Jesus is knocking
at the door of our hearts, if he does ot
already reign in our hearts, and we are
surprised when wt consent to let him in
why we didn't long ago let him in, thre
is such love, sum peace that; tirmgue can
not tell. It is the only place we can
receive veal happiness, and this the
world cannot give, and, blessed be God !
cannot take away. We have only to
ask and receive, seek and find, knock
at the door of mercy, and it is opened to
us, for every one that asketh, reef ivrth
1 et some are reat y to say uod i not
a just God: He is just, and the justi
fier of him that belicveth. May this be
a benefit to some one thai reads it.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Neer City, Dec. 17th. 1883.
Editor CoLUMCiAX-Ztear Sir: As
thought it would not com amiss, I will
drop you a few items from Neer City
For the last 3 night? there has ben
somewhat of 4 racket about tlte place,
and there has not been much sltep accom
pli lied. There was a couple was sup
posed to have Iteen married, at least the
Neer City boy took it as such, and start

them. The first combat was performed
at Mrs. Fowler's house, which, com
menced at 8 b'clock and continued un-
ui & next morning, xne next nirli; our
Captain rallied his men, and again the
performance commenced this time Ihe
couple were at bay at C. C. Fowlei's on
the comer of First and Alder. It was
checked when an alarm was turned in at
Box 5. The shock a so jjreat that
the lady of the house could not stand the
racket, and the result was a fainting
scrape, and C. C. Fowler, not wishing
Ihe thing o le performed again, fired the
unhappy couple which caused them to
break shelter for other quarters, and
like Captain Jack, in the Lava Bed
were brought to bay at J. W. Makinis
ter's on Second and Pine where the per
formance was contind until 2 o'clock,
but the couple were too long-winded for
the, hoys. By this time thern was con
siderable blood-shed, for the boys be: a l
to get hot, so our . Captain rallied his
men, and marched for sleeping quarters,
meanwhile the. unhappy couple fled by
means of a boat to Kalama, and from
t'herb took the Steamer for Portland.

At the timt of the Cloninger trial we
were flat on our back, ' and so got no
items. It is perhahs as well. That mat
ter has been pretty well ter.tilated
women have tried to be dragged intb
the matter, but this has not that ele
ment, no woman has anything to do
alout it, although th independent drags
into the ring Tom Cloninger and wife.
The only trouble with the Independent
man, I think is, he is inclined to go oil
half-cocked. " He has seen a Cloninger,
straightway that Cloninger is the otle,
and his wife is the tother.

fectly free from the degrading and pol

of a better claw, than anv othr nublicA
