May 2d, , Ihe district court has bten in session here during the week, There lias. been, but. ore jury case Irifd' that of the terri tory .vainst Andrew Leonard for the murder of Ambrose PaU.on. Tlie facts of. the case are brieily these: On the 12th day of November, 18S- the body of Ambro.-e Pattc: was found about two miles above Frceport on tho Cowlitz riv er. The pockets of the deceased's cloth in" were turned inside o.tt, and his watch gone. An examination of the body showed that there were eleven buckshot wounds and our, larger gunshot wound near the shoulder blade. An examination of the ground near wherj tho body was found showed the place where" the body had fallen when shot, an I that it h?d been dragged though the grass to the bank of the river, a few feet distant, arul there thrown over the bank. A track was al so found in the sand near tlm body about the size of a six or seven boot, size shown to have been worn by Leon ard. Several pieces of wadding were picked up near the body, showing tiat the shot had been tired from an old shed n?ar by. These pieces of wadding were preserved, and on examination proved to bo part of a leaf from Warner's safe kidney cure pamphlet. The last that had been seen of the deceased was on the 5th day of Xovcr.ber, at about 3 o'clock in the af ternoon, not more than 7jV0 yards from where hid body was found. The defendant's conduct on that day and subsequently was such as to create a r-.usi icion against hiin. On the morn in" of the 5th dav of November he had borrowed Mr. I 'razee's double-barreled shot gun, and in the presence of Brazee and a man by the name of Redpath, loaded it with buck shot, and then put a slug in each barrel. The wadding that he put in both barrels was noticed by both Brazt c and Redpath to Le part cf the Warner 'Kidney Cure pamphlet The last seen cf the defendant on that day, before the shooting, was about noon when he was observed along side of the road apparently attempting to escape observation. He was again -'cn about a halt" or three quarters of an hour after the time Patton was supposed to have been shot. Leonard, was then htrrrying j idong toward Brazec's house, on a trail j leading from where tho body was fcm:d, atmaivntlv in a preat hurrv, and looking back over his shoulder as though fear ful of being followed. He returned to B razee's house with the con about 5 o'clock in t'"e evening, and put the gun away. The gun was af terwards examined, one barrel was found to be still loaded. The charge, in this barrel was drawn and the wadding com pared r.d'Ji the wadding found near Button's body. It was found that the piecer, of wadding .tilted each .'. her, making the lines of printing complete. Leonard's conduct duiiug tin; evening at Brazee's house was .suspicious, show ing that be was laboring under great ex-' citement. The next morning he left the country, connnj to Portland, where, he remained a bhort time under lie name of J. Jackson, from lie re going to south-, ern Oregon and from there to Kaipire Citv. where he was tvir;ivl hufnll an 1 brought, here by F.hr-riiT :uith. Theses facts wore shown by tho prosecution, al so that Leonard had frequently threat ened Pijt ton's life, and ou one occasion attempted to hill him. Tho defense attempted to show that Patton was seen about two hours alter the time shown by 'provocation Patton was shot. The evidence closed Friday forenoon, and the case went to the jury ibout i) o'clock in the afternoon. The jury .vc re out but a little over two hours, when tliey returned a verdict of guilty of nrard?r in the first decree. A motion for a new trial wr? made and will be, heard by Judge Hoyt ou Monday. Tho defense was ably conduct ed by Judge Caton of Walla Walla, Judge Dcnnison of Vancouver: and W. S. B. tbe of Portlanl. The pro-cciV.;on was represented by Prosecuting Attor ney J. C. McFadden cf Oiympiv.and Alfred S. Frank of -Portland. The case ha e,xwited great interest throughout tho county, and the town has been tilled with witnes.f.s daring the entile week. Tckjram. The, notorious Jack Leonard, 'v.hos-e trial for the murder of his brother-in-law Pe.'Uon, has been in the courts ; at Kala ma for several, weeks past and; who was found guilty in the first degree and sen tenced t be hung July 21st neA, was brought over to this city on the AsWia boat at 5 o'clock hist night, i lie was; lodged in the county jail for thertght and at G o'clock this morning was put aboard The Dalles boat and; taken to Vancouver for safe keeping, : Tho Sher iff of Cowlitz con n't y ha. I Leonard in his custody, and the latter was heavily ironed, even to his hgs. lie is a middle aged man, rough looking, aiic'kes his conviction ami sentence stoically. The murder was one of the mosV brutal in the annals of this section, Pattou being j shot down by the assassin in' ambush, j His guilt vr .t-d .lushed circumsbinti .1- ly in part by the paper wadding iir the slotgun used in the killing. The n.ur ttcr occurred in November, 1 ?:-." "ttnd Leonard has on one pretence and anoth er managed to . elude justice till liow. The usual sympathy was manifested for him by the various persons confined in the county jail. It was with difficulty that tTey could suppress their tears when the murderer was observed in, irons. 7cew. C'6KESPOXSi2XCE. May T st. 1884. Jht. . Apams We thought that we would write you a few lines about Kast ern Oregon, we havo the finest grass and rich soil, the crops look line, fruit trees out in full bloom. Everybody is doing well. Here is th'o -place for a man to get a start. All a man wants is a branding-iron, a bull, a lasso rope, u cayuse pony and a pair of spurs, and he can get rich. We were thinking about going into the cattle business, it we could get a bull. Bulls are high v'p here; they sell from three to live hundred apiece. They are scrub bulls at .that, so you can f C-c that stock is high. Now we will tell vcu what kind of animals there-are. There arc dingmals, slivercats and tidc-hiil gougers. There is an animal that we don't know the name of, he has nine tails and four fore legs and two hind ones. Coons are very bad up here; a man that had a light with one was the blood iest man that we ever saw. Now we will tell you about the snakes. We killed one tro c'her day that meas ured twelve feet in length - and twenty inches in diameter; he was the fattest snake we ever saw. We gob two hun dred pounds of tallow out of him. If the people don't believe, tell them to conio up here, and e will show them the tallow. ... Brc:i-c:rrA Poopltm. JlAi:a::n, May G, 1 88 h Rainier is a very booming place th last mouth or so.

Mrs. Garrison wrote to friends down here that . they did not expect to gel out there till next day (Sunday.)

We can't divine whether the Repub lican and Democratic nominations are acceptable or not, time will tell, and the successful candidates will know, when the votes are counted.
