Grand
Shot by the Captain
Morning Columbian.
The sealing schooner Bessie Butter, which
left Astoria about ten days ago on a sealing
yoyage,: leturned last night, bringiog
sailor who had been shot and seriously
wounded by the captain, Henry Olsen. The
facts of the shooting as related by Captain
j Olsen and the sailors are substantially as
follows: List Sunday morning at 5 o'clock,
while about 120 miles south of tbe Columbia
river, tbe captain went into the forecastle
and ordered all hands on deck. All re
sponded except a Dane named Billy Stevens,
who would not get up. The captain went
down a second time, and asked him why be
did not get out. He said he would when
he got ready, and applied some vile epithets
to the captain, who responded by calling
him a "d d nigger." Captain Olsen then
went on deck and Stevens followed him a
half hour later.
All hands, except the captain and two
hunters, were below at breakfast wben
Stevens made his appearance. The captain
was on the poop when Stevens advanced
towand him with the remark: "Yon called
me a d d nigger." The captain ordeied
him to go forward, bnt he paid no heed to
the command, snd continued to advance.
The captain seized a abot gun and said:
"Do you want some trouble real bad?" The
man said he did not, but continued to ad
vance saying be wonld take the gun away
from the captain. Olsen again commanded
him to go forward three times, but be kept
advancing and when about six feet distant
tbe captain fired and Stevens fell to the
deck, witb a terrible wound in the groin.
He was picked up aud cared for as tenderly
as possible, tbe captain assisting in dressing
tbe wouud, and the schooner was headed for
the river.
When the man wss taken to the hospital
an examination showed that bis wounds
would probably result fatally. At a late
bour last night be was very low and not ex
pected to live. Although no blame is at
tached to the captain, even by tbe other
sailors aboard, he was placed under arrest
upon his arrival here by Deputy United
State Marshal Barry, who is now awaiting
instructions from Portland. Under the cir
cumstances Captain Olsen will probably suf
fer only temporary inconvenience, as the sot
was justifiable under tbe law. Tbe captain
is well known here and is a favorite with
sea-faring men, and especially those under
his command, whom be treats witb unitorm
kindness. ""V. j

f Death ef Mr. Anbury. Cook.
. Monday Captain Cook received anothe.
stroke of paralysis, and died from the effects
in three hours. He left tbe house for a few
moments, and was found in an unconscious
condition. Tbe alarm was given, and be
was taken to his room and quietly passed
away without regaining consciousness.
About eleven years ago, daring the teinble
fire which visited this city, from over -exer
tion he suffered a partial stroke of paralysis,
and has never fully rallied. . Fir a few
years after the affliction he was able to walk
around the streets by means of crutches;
but for tbe past year it was with dilEculty
ha moved himself. He has received the
greatest care for some years past at the res
idence of Mrs. Juker and family. Asbury
Cook was horn in Brooklyn, N. Y in 1S12,
and in 1846 was on tbe police force in New
Orleans, Ls. In 1847, during tbe Mexican
war. he sailed in a convoy to the city of
Vera Cruz, and joined the forces which
were besieging that city. In . 1S49 be came
to California, and in 1864 came to Tbe
Dalles, where he has resided ever since.
For many years be was mate on the river
boats between this city and the Upper Cas
cadet; but of late year, even before bis
affliction, be bad given up steamboating. A
man of tbe moat generous impulses, be bad
many warm friends, and during his years of
robust health he was generally first at the
bedside of the sick, rendering all the aid
possible to those iu distress. Perhaps tbere
was no man better known' than Oaptain
Cook, and during tbe years ct bis affliction
whenever he appeared on the streets he wss
greeted with a pleasant recognition by old
and young, and alwaya had aotne cheery
word in response. Though married twice,
as far as known he bas no relative liviog.
In tbe death of Captain Jack, Tbe Dalles
has lost one of its oldest citizens, and one
who has been known to residents for over a
auarter of a century. His funeral took
place Wednesday morning from tbe resi
dence of Mrs. Juker. Peace to bis ashes.

as the nicabs ot obtaining tbe desired end.

the effects of the pst wiuttr ctt a large
figure, rendered him almost bankrupt. He

Trouble at JenVrmin. -
Salem Journal.
There has been some trouble between
the patrons and managers of the Jefferson
flour mills sod warehouse, as to tbe wheat
stored there, and this culminated iu a
public meeting of the parties interested
Saturday afternoon for tbe purpose of in
vestigating tbe actual condition of affairs.
This was not found satisfactory and in
dignation ran high.
Finally, Heury Barendrick, who bas
had principal charge, requested those in
terested to appoint a set of trustees to
whom a special assignment could be
made of the contents of the mill and the
improvements made thereon by tbe pres
ent company iu control. In accordance
with this, a meeting was held Sunday
evening and the following trustees ap
pointed: F. M. Miller, Eli Vaughn, D. H.
Loeney, F. Bagley and 11. Hoyt, who will
take charge and make what they can out
of it. Mr. Barendrick turned over all
accounts to the trustees and is making
every effort to see that bis patrons shall
not lose anything. - -
Since going under the present manage
ment the mill bas bad a heavy expense
for new machinery and improvements,
and tbe disappearance of the graia can
only be accounted for upon the hypothesis
that tbe managers expected witb an in
creased business to be able to replace it,
while the drains for their improvements
could be met no other way than by the
sale of the grain and flour.
There is a strong effort to be made to
organize a stock company to lake charge
of the mill, as it is recognized as a good
property, and all will yet be well. It is
calculated that the best which can be
done with the present assests will leave a
shortage of 14,000 or 15,000 bushels of
grain.
Henry Parendrick is an old resident of
Salem and there are countless numbers
here who haye . absolute confidence in
him ; they are slow to believe a report of
any wrong on his part, aud will bs re
joiced to see this muddle amicably ad
justed.

To Hons. J. II. Mitchell, J. N. Dolph and
Binqer Hermann, Washington, D. O.
Gentlemen: At a regular meeting of
our city council, held in Dalles City, Wasco
county, Oregon, this the 30th dsy of April,
ISOO, the following were adopted:
Resolved, Tbat the inhabitants of this city
and section are gratefully aware of the
efforts, successful in the senate, of Oregon's
ssnators, Hons. J. H. Mitchell aud J. N.
Dolph, and of the exertions now being put
forth by Hon. Jiinger Hermann, our repre
sentative in. congress, to secure an appro
priation for overcoming tbe obstructions to
navigation at The Dalles of the Columbia
river; and
Resolved, That it is our earnest hope tbat
tbe exhaustive survey tor a boat railway,
made by the commission of engineers of tbe
war department, may be followed out, and
that such a considerable portion of the work
having been completed, and the scheme
shown to be entirely feasible, it may prove
to oe witnin the power of tion. Binger
Hermann to procure for the bill passage
through the bouse of representatives, and
tbat we respectfully urge him to put forth
every consistent eflurt to this end; and
Resolved, That we in no wav favor the
substitution of a portage railway for the
proposed boat railway at Tbe Dalles, know
mg as we do from experience that a mode
of transportion necessitating breakine bulk
and re-shipment is cumbersome and expen
sive, and will afford us no appreciable re
lief; but tbat we are unanimous in approv
ing and calling for tbe passage of the boat
railway bill, as presented to the senate by
Hin. Juo. H. Mitchell and passed by the
efforts of himself and Hob. J. N. Dolph.
Death of an Old Pioneer.
Lost night about balf-paat 8 o'clock Mr.
James V. Force complained of pain in the
region of his heart. A physician was called,
who applied the usual remedy. His family
did not consider the sickness serious, and.
although requested, he did not take his bed.
Soon afterward.', his son-in-law, Mr. El-
wards, had occasion to enter the room, and
found Mr. Force on the floor. He attempted
to lift him on tbe bed and found that he
was dead. It is not known how long he
had been dead when Mr. Edwards found
bim, but it is presumed the vital spark had
just fled. Mr. Force was aged about 72
years, and came to Oregon in 1842. He has
resided in this county for many years, and
was a highly respected citizen. Mr. Force
leaves an aged wife, having been married
oyer fifty years, and one son and two
daughters Mrs. Edwards, of this city, and
Mrs. J. U. Adams, of East Portland.

' Experiences.
To whom it may concern: I hare tried almost
every conceivable remedy for biliousness dur
ing the past five years as I am of a bilious tem
perament and suffer much from stomach and
liver troubles. But nothing ever gave me the
relief that I obtained from using Joy's Vegetable
Sanaparllla. In fact I think it a cure for those
ailments. At the time I was using it I had a
little girl living In my family whose neck was
seriously affected by a large open sore, and we
tried a great many kinds of lotions, salves and
blood purifiers to no avail. I gave her some of
-my medicine (Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla)
thinking it might benefit her and as it wm
purely vegetable, knew it could do her no harm.
To my astonishment she began to improve, and
within two weeks it was entirely healed and she
