Spohane Ealls, Jan. 24. Tbe Baer
case, which has been tbe ruling topic of

well-developed balf-breed girl aged 14
years, brought ber to tbis city, promts
ins her a home in a respectable family,
On arriving here she tried to force tbe
girl to lead a life of shame, but tbe girl
firmly refused. Finally, finding that force
would be necessary, the Wilson woman

table fact.

tbe Big Bend country states that snow is
fourteen to eighteen inches deep and
I drifted terribly. The roads are impassa
ble to wagons, cattle are dying Dy tne
dozen daily on Cow creek, and the poor

Sheep-arc doing well, but feed is growing
scarce and high.
DEER BLOCKADED,
It is reported here that herds of deer

and venison steaks are plennlnl.
MR. AND MRS. BLAINE ORATEFUL.
Washington, Jan. 25. The following
was given to the press tbis evening
"The sympathy of friends has teen so
generously extended to Mr. and Mrs.
Blaine in tbe great grief which has be
fallen their household, that they are un
able to make a personal response to each.
Ibey beg, therefore, that this public
recognition be accepted as a very grate
ful acknowledgment of the kindness
which has been most helpful through tbe
first days of their irreparable loss.
HORSEWHIPPED BY A WOMAN.

sensation was created on Riverside avenue
to-dsy by tbe spectacle of a well and
fashionably-dressed woman horsewhip
ping a man. Tbe woman was Mrs Love,
aa employe of a leading dry goods house
here, and tbe object of ber wrath was R.
S. Nelson, Tbe latter ran in a half stoop
ing position, but tbe woman was fleet-
footed, and followed her quarry with a
persistence that was highly entertaining
for the crowd. Nelson bad been annoy
ing Mrs. Love with his intentions, and
this afternoon she swore out a warrant
for his arrest. He eluded the officers and
searched out tbe woman who developed
her own means of protection. Nelson
had just been released from tbe county

make another appeal to the public.

BANKER DITTMAN'S DEATH.
Philadelphia, Jan. 26. The mystery
surrounding tbe disappearance ' of the
banker Joseph Dittman, wbo was last
seen alive December 11th last was cleared
up to day by the finding ot bis decom
posed body floating in tbe Schuylkill
river, la a wallet in tbe inside pocket of
tbe coat, besides some papers was a card
requesting the finder in case of accidental
death to notify tbe secretary of the Mutual
Accident Association of .New xork, un
the afternoon of December 11 Dittmnn
started ont for a drive. About dusk the
Park guard found tbe horse and buggy
in Fairmount park, the vehicle being
empty. The first impression was thrre
bad been a runaway and the banker
thrown from tbe buggy into the water.
Dragging of the river, and dynamite also
used, failed to bring tbe body to tbe sur
face. When found to-day there were no
marks of violence discernible on the
bod v. and whether it was a case of acci
dent or suicide will probably never be
known.
CALIFORNIA IS FLOODED.
San Francisco, Jan. 26. Tbe snow
blockade on the Central Pacific and Cali
fornia & Oregon railroads is still on. In
general the rain and snow storms in the
northern portion of California have
ceased, but whether or not the pleasant
weather will last until the blockade is
raised, cannot be foretold. The warm
rain that has fallen in northern points is
shifting southward, but the storm is
much less violent, and the amount of
snow melted on the mountains is there
fore less.

ing tbe report of tbe safety of Dr. Peters.

SIX BURNED TO DEATH.
Indianapolis, Jan. 27. The passenger
train on the Monon route which left Chi
cago Sunday night at 11 :55 was wrecked
at 7:50. o'clock this morning one mile
above Carme!. The tender jumped the
track. Tbe engineer reversed tbe engine,
but before the air brakes could stop tbe
train the locomotive and baggage car
cleared the trestle. A sleeper and the
smoking coach went over into tbe creek,
both taking fire almost immediately, and
being consumed in a remarkably short
time.
Tbe killed were six in number; Mrs.
Nellie Eubank, Broad Ripple. Ind; C. O.
Deming, FraukiortJInd; Mrs. D. S. Old
ham's twin children, Sbendan, Ind., Miss
Mary Hoover, Horton ; Mrs Hattie Hen-

on tbe forehead ; Express Messenger
Jaungcr, badly hurt,
Those who escaped uninjured busied
themselves in taking tbe dead and in
jnred from tbe wreck, but before tbis
could be accomplished, tbe heat from the
burning cars became so intense that tbey
had to withdraw.
ONE HUNDRED MILES YET TO CLEAR
Sisson, Cal., Jan. 27. A strong south
wind blew to day, indicating a renewal
ol the storm. Tbe sun was shinning oc
casionally, while snow fell in tbe sur
rounding mountains. Tbe railroad
shows no improvement, and is in a worse
condition than a week ago. Two cyclone
snowplows would work wonders. Tbe
two plows working still remain where
tbey were a week ago. Tbe snow is thaw
ing in the day time and freezing at nigbt.
This makes tbe mass very compact, ren
dering removal difficult. Tbe enormity
of work may be realized when it is stated
that there are over 100 miles of truck to
clear.
THE SOUTH DAKOTA HUNGER.
Chicago, Jan. 27. The reports of des
titution in South Dakota, resulting from
crop failures, were further confirmed to

Simoqs and F. It. Crandoj of tbe North
western railway. According to tbeir story
a majority of tbe sufferers are in a strip
of country fifty miles wide and extending
on both sides of the railroad from Uawar-
den to Aberdeen.

room in her night clothes, pleading for
protection from her husband, William
Dunlap. Upon investigation it was dis
covered that husband and wife bad been

into tbe street. That is the story she tells,
but Dunlap claims be used no such
weapon. Tbey bave had similar trouble
before. Last July at Ilwaco beach he
fired several shots at bis wife and a man
named Gay, while tbey were walking
with a party of people along tbe beach.
Dunlap was arraigned in Justice Garrett's
court tbis morning-, and held under bonds
for the action ot the grand jury, now in

down the large frame building situated
at South K and Fourth streets, was made
last evening. The building is two stones
high, and cost $2500. There is a email
grocery in the corner, and the rest of tbe
building is occupied by a family named
Daily, who keep boarders. About 5 :30
two of the boarders discovered a fire in
the garret. Water was brought in pails,
and the fire quickly put out. . After the
fire was extinguished, there was found in
tbe garret a long split open at one end.
A piece of paper was wedged in tbe slit
thus made, and the paper had been on
fire. A few feet away lrom the stick, was
a small armful ot excelsior, saturated with
coal oil. The exact object of tbe incen
diary in firing the house is unknown. It
was not the first attempt to burn down
tbe house.

Livermore Falls special to Boston Her
aid: Mr. Osgood Plummer, of Worcester,
MasSq has visited Maine seven hunting
seasons for moose, without being sucess
ful in his efforts to bring down one of
these kings of the forest. At tbe close of
his last trip he left for borne grately dis
couraged, but made the remark that be
would give $100 for a good chance to kill
a moose. Mr. Plummer was thereupon
told by his guide to remain at bis borne
until be heard from tbe bunting section,
and then to come on and he would get to
bag his game.
This season he was notified by the
guide to come to Eustis, which he lmme
mediately did, there meeting Guides
Augustus Douglass and Otis Witbam, of
Eustis, and tbe party started for Kibby
stream camp, twenty miles distant in the
wilderness. Ou tbeir arrival the guides
struck ont in quest of that moose, and
finding tracks followed them until tbey
bad located tbe prize, when tbey notified
Mr. Plummer, wbo jrined in the chase.
After a run they came in sight of a large
and tine specimen ot tbe bull moose.
Mr. Plummer, who came prepared for the
occasion, took lrom his pocket a small
camera and took the picture of tbe animal
as be stood snd then shot him. Tbe
gamo weighed over 1,000 pounds, end as
a trophy of his sucessful trip Mr. Plum

Tbe largest ranches of Klamath county,
Or., and Siskiyou county, CaL, are those of
Jesse D. Carr, about Clear lake, and Dorris,
of Butte creek valley, Cal. Owing to the
unusual dry season of 1SS9, they put op
much less hay than usual from their meadow
land, and the deep snows of tbis winter
will cause tbem heayy losses. It is re
ported by the Ashland Tidings that Carr
has turned ont about 5000 head, aud Dorris
about 4000 head to shift for them
selves in the deep snow live on browse if
they can, or die it tbey mast, l ney eacn
have some hay at tbeir ranches, of course,
bat will need it all to winter their im
proved Shorthorns and other valuable
stock. Carr, Dorris and some other ranch
era are offering to give half the cattle win
tered through to any one who will leea
them.
In most portions of Klamath county the
majority of the ranchers will have hay
enough to save the greater portion of their
cattle if the snow should not remain too
Ions. In Spraeue River valley tbe hay
stacks are biggest in proportion of the num
ber of cattle to be ted, as usual.
In tbis valley tbe range cattle business is
carried on, on a much smaller scale, but the
drouth of last summer has left many iar
men and ranchers with less hay than usual,
just when they need more than usual.
Moat ot theuj will be able to buy what is
necessary, however, to save their stock.

Mr. Ad. Keller, of the Oro Fino saloon,
has been confined to hi bed for several days
past by sickness.
Tbe first snow fell on the 12th of Decem
ber, and siuce that date forty-one inches of
the congealed element have fallen.
cbinook wiDd has been blowing in the
upper atmosphere to-day, and the effects
are discernible in the anow melting and de
creasing in quantity.
A daily mail service was established be
tween this city and Uoldendale on the 23d.
This is something desired for a long time by
tne people ot tuis city.
The mails from San Francisco wjs re
ceived by steamer and came np on No. 2
last nigbt. Xbc Southern Pacific is having
the hardest fight with the elements, and it
is far from being conqueror yet.
Vancouver Jiaister: An exchange says:
Walla Walla paid the Oreaonian $300 for
the single insertion of a full page advertise
ment." Cities and towns make a mistake
in not spending tbeir advertising money
with tbo home papers. Give your home
papers the money. It will go a long way
farther and it loots better to the outside
world.
In commenting on tbe suggestion made
in these columns that oar capitalists, by
offering a bonus, attempt to direct the rail
road from North Yakima to Vancouver via
Klickitat county to The Dalles, the Klicki
tat Sentinel says: "The people of Golden
dale will meet any such proposition fully
half wav, and may be depended upon to do
everything in het power to aid such an en
terprise." Lake Chelan is the largest body of fresh
water in the state of Washington. It cov
ers about an era of sixty-five square miles
and its average width is a mile and a half.
A beautifnl townsite overlooking tbe lake
has just been located at a point on the
Chelan river near its outlet. Lake Chelan
is becoming a famous rendezvous for tourists
to this part of tbe country. It is in Oka
nogan county.
There is a deadlock in The Dalles city
council on the choice of a councilman to fill
the yacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Tillotsou. Tbe cause for this seems to
binge on one point; that of opening Court
street through to the Independence road.
Oregonian. Our esteemed cc temporary evi
pently intended Dallas in Polk county, and
not The Dalles. There has been no "dead
lock" in our council, by reason of the death
of Mr. Tillotson or other cause.
Sentinel: We have it on pretty good
authority that a proposition will soon be
made to the people of Klickitat county by
a responsible company to build a railroad
from Camas Prairie through the county to
an intersection with the Northern Pacific
on our east, for a small bonus; the bonus to
be given in the shape of notes, payable when
the road is completed and in operation.
Goldendale will be the junction of several
roads if those no in contemplation are
built.
Tbe Attorian of the 23d gives this aa its
calendar of weather for the pieceding day:
"At noon yesterday the sky grew heavy,
and gray aud qniet; a huge bank of livid
lowering cloud obscured the sun, and slant
ing to the southwest came a shower of large
snow flakes falling in creamy masses and
obliterating familiar features of the laud
scope. Following the fall of snow of two
hours' duration came bail, and after the bail
came rain, and then clear sky and a setting
sun, and then a breeze from the frigid east,
and then more rain, and after that a little
snow, for variety."
The Orting Oracle evidently does not pro
pose to stand any foolishness from this time

Last summer, says the Eugene Rtgicler, a
party of men were engaged in canvassing
this county for tbe sale of fanning mills.
The party was under tbe charge of H. V.
Fuller, the general agent for this section.
Among the party was a young man named
E. A. Gerald, wbo through hi dishonesty
cheated the company he was working for
ont of about $474 in Lane county, and it is
found that he carried on the same work in
Marion county. He withdrew from the
employ of the company and went north and
all trace of him waa lost before his crime
was discovered. Deputy U. S. Marshal V .
W. Cochran ha been searching for him for
some time and last week he beard be was in
Seattle and went np there and caught him.
He was then driving a delivery wagon. He
was brought .back to this city last Friday
evening, and Monday was tried before Just
ice Lakin, on a charge of embezzlement,
and bound over to await the action of the
grand jury with bail fixed at $480, which he
was unable to furnish. Hi method of
cheating the company waa by forging notes
and keeping money collected while selling
the mills.

lasted till dark, melted tbe anow off most
of the hill leaving about two inches of slush
in the valleys. However, it commenced
snowing again, and ha fallen about two
inches more nearly as much aa the previ

very warm.
Sheriff Rube Robbina tell the Boise
Democrat that twenty-two years ago snow

the stage line, run sleighs between Salt
Lake city and The Dalles; in fact mails and
passengers were transported the entire dis

Hood River Glazier: Tbe ice house is
filled and contain between 4000 and 5000
tons of ice, which will be used next summer
to reduce the temperature of the citizens,
good and bad, of Portland. Tbe company
had a contract to load several hundred cars
for the Union and Central Pacific railroad
companies, but the blockade made it impos
sible to get the cars, and the employes were
discharged.
Fossil Journal: J. M. McKinnon was in
town tbe latter part of last week, and in
formed us that his sheep were doing well on
the John Day above Cfown Rock. There
had been but three inches of snow near the
river and that had melted off for a mile and

' Judge John Lee Logan died at Lewiston,
Idabo, on the 15th inst. He was born in
Salem, Va., March 6, 1848, and was ad
mitted to the bar at Salem when 21 year
old. He then went to New York city,
where he worked as a clerk in a lawyer'
office for three year and then went into
business on his own account. He enjoyed a
lucrative practice nntil 1883, when he re
ceived tbe appointment as associate justice
of the supreme court of Idaho. He was
married to Miss Gertrude Tucker, a
daughter of Hon. Randolph Tucker, of Vir
ginia, in 1883. He leave no children.
Baker City Blade: Jaa. T. Hixon was in
tbe city a few days ago proving np on hi
land claim. He informed n that many
horse on the range were dying, and it now
appeared that the loss would be 60 percent.
He stated that in hi opinion nearly all of
the cattle that were not being fed would
die before spring and that a great many bad
already succumbed. This is the most se
vere winter on stock that baa ever occurred
in Eastern Oregon. Cattle were in a poor
condition wben winter set in, and a there
is no grass under the snow, owing to the
past dry season, cattle will have to be fed a
much longer time than usual. It is indeed
a sorry outlook for stockmen.
La Grande Gazette: The sheering new
that the blockade had been raised had
hardly time to become pnblic tbe tint of
last week, when another train got stuck in
the snow in Pyle' canyon. The centrifugal
snow excavator waa sent to it relief, and
the next bit of information waa to tbe effect
that it bad jumped tbe track ind np to
date bad not been straightened around. A
gang ot shovelers has been at work in the
canyon for the past three days, and a the
two other snow plow are in the shops, the
prospects of another train from the east are
not very encouraging. Tbe road west of
La Grande is also in bad shape on account
of slides and there is no telling how long it
will be before trains from either direction
are running regularly.
Baker City Reveille: Died in this city,
January 14, 1890, of pneumonia, W. N.
Knabe, aged 33 years. The deceased had

Wasco Obterver: As Mr. C. E. Jones, of
Emigrant, was returning from the Prairie
Queen Roller Mill to bis home on Thursday,
the 10th inst.,-an incident occurred which
nearly cost him hia life. In going to the
mill he found the road drifted full of anow,
just above the mill perhaps 80 rods; but
he managed to get through in safety. How
ever, on hi return, he was aatiated by Mr.
A. Spengler, th miller, but in the above
mentioned place hi team became unman
ageable and went off the embankment to
the bottom of the canyon, a distance of
about two hundred feet, precipitating over
each other several time in making the

lodged in with tbe horses. Mr. Spengler,
though making praise-worthy effort to
render assistance, lost hi footing and also

Hamlet
Capital Journal, Salsm, Jan. tl, 189a
Last evening the opera bouse was occu
pied by Daniel E. Bandmann, tbe eminent
tragedian, and his festival company, in
Hamlet, a Shakespearean tragedy. Those
who failed to be present can 1 assured
that tbey bave failed to witness one of the
finest actors that has ever visited the Paoifio
coast. Bandmann is supported by an able
number of ladies and gentlemen, and those
present last eyening were held in intense
attention from the me that the curtain
was drawn aside nntil the last word was
spoken. In listening to the grand prodne.
tion last evening one was reminded of what
Hazhtt aays: "This is the Hamlet, the Dan
whom we read of in our youth, and whom
we seem almost to remember in our after
years; he wbo made that famous soliloquy
on life, who gave the advice to the players,
wbo thought 'this goodly frame, the earth.
a atenle promontory, and this brow, o'er
hanging firmanent, tbe air, this majeatical
roof, fretted with golden fin, a foul and
pestilent congregation of vapors;' whom
man delighted not. nor woman neither:' ha
who talked with the Brave-dicorera and mor
alized on Yorick's skull; the schoolfellow of
Rosencrantz and Giuldenstern at Witten
berg; tbe friend of Horatio: tbe lover of
Ophelia; he that waa mad and was sent to
England and the slow avenger of bis father's
death." Tbe critics have been greatly di
vided in regard to Shakespearea intent in
this tragedy and character. Hazhtt says
"it u not a character marked bv strength
of passion or will, but by rebuement of
thought and feeling." The playing last
evening waa of a most striking character.
The scene at the graveyard where Hamlet,
accompanied by his friend Horatio, came in
contact with the grave-diggers, was grand,
but still more sublime waa it where the
body of tbe beautiful Ophelia waa slowly
lowered into the cold and silent tomb.
Space will forbid any further mention xtt
this grand work of Shakespeare, but auffioa
it to say that Daniel E. Bandmann and hi
wherever they may appear.

A sad affair occurred in the Banner res
taurant, on Third street last Monday. The
inmate of the bouse were startled at S
'clock, the morning named above, by tb
report of a gun in the bedroom occupied by
the two daughter of the house, Tina and
Mamie Blocker. Mr. Clone (the girls' tep-
father) and wife hastened into the room and
found Tina, the elder daughter, lying upon
tbe floor, and near her a 32-calibr target
rifle. Blood was pounng from a wound in
her right side. She had barely strength to
articulate, "1 m not, ere consciousness
forsook her, and abe remained thus until
death ensued, at 6 o'clock that evening.
Aa inquest was held at the scene of tbe
shooting, but as the unfortunate girl died
without speaking it was dithcult to eeotde
whether her death was accidental or the re
sult of her own act. It is rumored that hex
tep-fatber ill-treated her, and many think
he was thus driven to suicide. Clone ad
mitted that he struck ber a few minutes
previous to the tragedy. Tbe jury, how
ever, returned a verdict of accidental death.

"Rube' Short, a well known farmer o!

that he is not easily moved to complain,
