so soon after the tornado tore through
the southern part of the city on Saturday
ino- Hmt not half an idea could be

strewn to-day with splintered house
timbers, broken furniture, unrooted trees
and leveled barns and outhouses.
In a trip over the -storm's, path to day
nineteen riwellimrs were counted, either
ripped into kindling wood or so badly
wrecked that they cannot be occupied.
Twenty families, numbering about
seventvfive oeroons, are out of house and
hi:me and' are sheltered bv friends. Of
eighteen persons injured, all will proba

cluding residences and barns, were
daroagid by the wind, and not one
escaped that was in the direct line of the
torando. Uprooted trees were countea
bv scores. Outhouses, in some cases,
were tranSDlanted from fifty to 100 feet
and set down in neighboring yards.
Thousands of Deoole visited the scene
of destruction to day. In several church
es relief papers were started and several
thousand dollars will be raised for the

A BEVEUE OFFICER'S PERIL.
Middlebourxk, W. Va , May 11.
Fears are entertained that Captain Haw
kins, chief cf the revenue officers, and his
posse of twenty men, who left Hiddle-
bourne cn "Wednesday last to destroy
illict stills in the Cumberland mountains!,
have met with foul play at the hands of
the moonshiners. Thursday afternoon
Hawkins telegraphed for a supply train
to convey seventy-five prisoners and wit
nesses to Covington. Since that time
nothing lias been heard or seen ot him or
bis posse. A search party will be organ
ized.
, stabbed ms son in law. .
Seattle, May 11. A stabbing affray
occurred in North Seattle to-night, as
the result of a family quarrel. Joseph
L'imh, a young mechanic, accompanied
his wife to the Lome of her step father,
Louis Fleck, to make a social call. There
hud been bad blocd between the two men
ovir .Lambs marriage, and, as soon as
they met, the quarrel was renewed. They
engaged in a very heated altercation
which Fleck finally ended by drawing a
large pocket-knife, which he had opened
in his pocket, and plunging it into Ins
son in law's left breast, just above the
heart. Lamb fell to the floor, bleeding
profusely, and Fleck ran from the bouse,
lading in an nuthouse in the back: yard,
where he. was found by officers about
midnight. Lamb's wound, while not
fatal, is very serious. It is about two
inches deep, and it is thought by the sur
geon that it is bleeding lu tern ally. Lamb
was removed to his home, where he is
resting easily at -midnight.' F.eck has
been locked up on a charge ot assault
with intent t kill.
A CUAY BOBBER.
Seattle, May 11. A crazy man who
has been masquerading about town under
the name of Sir John Leslie, entered tbe
room of a sick man m the American house
I about 11 o'clock to night, and demanded
money or blood. His demand not being
complied with, he was about to throttle
the sick man when the door was burst in
and he was carried off to the police
station, where he gave the name of
Thomas Island.
Two rooms in the Eureka bouse were
entered and robbed by an unknown man
last Light. Lillie Murphy, an actress,
lost a diamond ring and a watch, and a
Mrs. Buckley lost a watch and several
diamonds . It is estimated the value of
the jewelry stolen is $500. The thief is
supposed to be a Portland crook who was
seen htrj yesterday.
CHARQED WITH ROBBERY.
Philadelphia, May 11. Edmund
Sturt'is Crawlord, charged with having on
May 4, 1888, while a messenger of tbe
American Exchange National bank, of
New York, stolen $41,000, which was
given him to be conveyed to the Adams
Express Company's office, in that city,
was arrested to-night on the steamship
Signe, from 'Kustsra island, Honduras.
The package was addressed to the treas
ury oepanment-at Washington, and when
it reached there, it was fnund to contain
only slips of paper. The express com
pany paid tbe loss after a few weeks of
fruitless detective work. Crawford re
signed his position as bank messenger
and went to' Central America. He was
arrested last March in Spanish Honduras,
and confessed to havingetolen the money,
$32,000 of which was found on him.
Governor - HilL signed the papers .for
Crawford's extradition, and on these he
was brought back. Hs was taken to
New Yoik on a late train to-night.
Philadelphia, May 11. Crawford,
the New York American Exchange Na
tional bank defaulter, did not arrive last
night from llondura on the steamtr
Btgne, as reported. Detective Hotcbkiss,
who came from New "York to arrest him,
returned to that city without his prisoner.
COS VICT BD OF ABORTION.
North Yakima, May 11. The La
pointe abortion case, which baa occupied
the superior court for tbe past four days,
bas come to an end. Lagointe, who is
an Ellensburgb real estate agent, was
charged with seducing and committing
an abortion on Minnie Foss, a 10 year
old girl of that place. The case is the
longest ever heard in a Yakima court
and has excited lively interest in Yakima
and Kittitas counties. The jury, after
being out an hour, brought in a verdict
of guilty. Lipointe, who is wealthy, will
carry the case to tbe supreme court, it is
claimed.
PERISHED IN THE FLAMES.
New York, May 1 1. A sp'ecia! to the
Herald from Norwich, N. Y., says that
notwithstanding the mysterious reticence
of the coroner and tbe keepers and
superintendent of tbe burned Chenango
county poorbouse a' Preston, persons in
a portion to know cay that at leant
thirty patients perished in tbe flames. It
is said that not oue inmate out of twenty
in the bearidden ward escaped. Super
intendent Babcock has stated to the board
of supervisors, who are investigating the
matter, that, as all the record j were des
troyed, it is impossible ta get at the exact
number of missing before next Tuesday.
There seems to have been gross earless
ness about the security and mnnogpment
of the unfortunate people, and it looks as
it investigation would justify the predic
tion now made as to the number of vie
tima. and that perhaps a worse state of
affairs will be revealed than is now
dreamed of.

SUICIDE AT EUGENE.
Eugene, Or., May 13. J. F. Smith
well known throughout this valley, com
mitted suicide here last evening. The
cause probably was mental disease. In

tS. Doms, to be used in paying debts,

TROUBLE OVER LAND.
Wheeling, W.' Van May 12. A re
markable land conflict is in progress on
Fishing creek, Wetzel county. Mrs. Jj.
G. Robinson, of : this place, is owner of
some 5,000 acres ot land in that section.
She has bad thousands of feet of timber
cut out of it, acd made extensive im
provements. A large number of squat
ters have settled on the laud at various
times, and they have.glven the owner
much trouble. Recently Mrs. Robinson
built some houses and rented them to
tenants. Squatters have objected to this
and threatened to expel the renters. On
Wednesday last a mob of nearly 100 men
gathered at one of Mrs. Robinson's booses
and began to threaten the inmates a
widow and her family. Sheriff Wyatt, of
Wetzel county, was hastily Bumntoncd
and commanded peace. The mob paid
no attention to him. The; drove the
family out of tbe house and then tore it
to pieces, after which they fired the ruins.
One Ave is said to have been the leader
of the squatters. The affair has created
intense excitement and warrants are out
for tbe arrest of tbe agitators.
ANOTHER 8 AN FRANCISCO MYSTERY.
San Francisco, May 12. J. C. Mar-
got a saloon- keeper, died at St. Mary s
hospital this afternoon. He was taken
to the hospital in a delirious condition
last Thursday to be treated for a number
of cuts and bruises about the head and
lace. Several of the wounds might a p-
parect'y be produced by a knife. Tbe
people who accompanied him to the hos
pital said be bad been assaulted by two
hoodlums, and refused to give any fur
ther information, A detective bas been
detailed by Chief Crowley to make an
in estimation. The police incline to tbe
belief that Margot died from excessive
drinking. - "
LYNCHING OF CRISWELL.
Santa Maria, Cal, May 12. Early
this morning twenty masked men entered
the Seventy-six saloon, where E. L. Cris-
well has been confined since Constable
Southard's murder, acd at the point of
tbe gun, disarmed and blindfolded tbe
guards. Then they bound ' and gagged
Criswell and tying a rope around his
neck, hung him to the rafters and left tbe
body there. Parties were sleeping in an
adjoining room, but the affair was done so
aiiieltv that none ot tbem were awak
ened.
8NOW IN THE SIERRAS.
Sacramento, May 13 Tbe late storm
caused a slight discomfiture on the rail
road line through tbe Sierras. Snow fell
in fitful abowers. There was about two
feet of fresh enow on top of the old hard
snow which has laid on the mountains
all winter. A push plow which is housed
at Summit was sent down through the
Cascade cut several times this forenoon
in order to keep cuts tlear. Although
several freight trains were delayed some-
what, noue oi the passenger trains lost
any time.
CROOK COUNTY.
Items 'all-d From the Colninna

The snow on the mountains between
Ochoco and Bridge creek" has about all gone
off, an 1 the road across the mountains is
said to be in fair condition for travel.
Jack Frost or some other kind of a frost
nipped all tender vegetables in Prineville
Thursday night, which caused gardeners to
'cuss" pretty loud. It was so severe that
it'killed cabbage plants.
Thn stock inspector has inspected th
sheep in the northeastern part of the county
and finds that the loss of sheep in that part
of the county out of a little Dver 100,000
head was 31,000.
A crew of sheep drivers arrived here this
week from Nebraska. They are in the em
ploy of Reynolds Bros., who-will start east
with the mutton they bought in this county
as soon as. shearing is over.
Col. E. W. Nevius, well, known as
school teacher in the early days of Crook
county, is at present chief clerk in the land
office at The Dalles. Col. Nevius is well
qualified for the position and will make an
excellent clerk. .
Elbert Belknap came hi contact with a
base ball the other day. It met him under
the right eye, and as a result he bad to be
carried home and put to bed for two days,
The "diamond and square" have little at
tractions for him now.
The trial of Wm. Page in the next term
of circuit court of Harney county, for the
killing of Bill Brown, creates considerable
interest here, as both parties were well
known iu this county, both having lived
here a number of years. Mr. Page's friends
here hope that he may get out of . the diffi
culty, as he is looked upon as an honest,
straight-forward man.
Wool growers who have commenced
shearing complain of extremely light wool.
Sheep that last jear sheared eight pounds,
this spring only gave fleeces weighing fiv
pounds. The decrease in the weight is at
tributed to the seyere winter. With the
heavy losses during the past winter and the
light shearing this sprinp, sheep raisers will
be left in a bad condition.

Natural Politeness.
Tbe beautiiul politeness ani courtesy
of the Swceds themselves ie a thing that
is very striking to visitors, says a writer
in Temple Bar. They have a large as
sortment of bows, bobs, courtesies and
hat-liftings according to age and sex, but
this lifting of the hat to mere ; acquaint
ances leaches, I fancy, much lower down
in the social scale tnan elsewhere in
Europe. It looks odd to see the butcher
boy in a blouse elaborately taking on nib
hat to the baker's assistant. I suspect.
nn examination, Swedish bats would be
found to obtain a little extra stiffening in
order to euable them tostsnd the wear
and tear of these greetings.
On one occasion, when going by steam
boat to Upsala, I noticed a very quaint
example of this natural trait. The steam
boat, as it Dears Upsa'a, passes through
many shallow reaches of the Malar lake,
where the depth of water is insufficient to
allow of the passengers being landed in
the ordinary manner, directly on to land
ing stages, and they bave to be taken on
shore in small boats.. The ferryman, on
shipping his complement ot passengers,
would first take a dozen strokes or so in
order to clear the screw of the steamer,
and then would carefully lay aside his
oars, rise from his seat, and take off his
hat with a (o!emn bow to the people sit
ting in the stem whom he had jubt taken
off tbe deck of tbe steamer. Ht would
then row on again and put them ashore.
This did not occur as an isolated instance,
but regularly every time the passengers
had to be landed by shore boats. I am
afraid our EngUh nilway guards and re
porter?, w bom I have hitherto io.aginc-d
to be the btst mannered people on the
planet, would net bear comparison with
these nature's gentlemen. L rd Chester
field himself would scarcely be in tbe

Mr. Benton Mays, of Joseph, Wallowa
of

two days, lie reports everything very
prosperous in his portion of the state.
A fish wheel, just being erected by some
Cnmamen up the river, broke loose from its
moorings, and had ti be chained to be kept
trom following the course of the stream to
the ocean.
A steer beloniqg to a ,person residing on
the opposite side of the river, suddenly
broke away trom the person who was driv
ing him and swam the swollen stream back
to ..is old home this afternoon.
A subscription was taken up to-day to
give r monthly subsidy to the Moro stage
line, by way of the new bridge over the
Deschutes. Oar citizens were quite liberal.
and we may expect a tn-weekly service.
One morning this week the freight train
which came to this city from the east
brought into town about twenty tramps.
They literally took possession of the train
and had everything their own way. Mr.
Quinton was kept very busy that night,
and had quite a run over the town to keep
watcn oi the villains.
Mr. Hugh Gourlay, who has been engaged
for the past five ueeKs assessing in the
neighborhood of Tygh, Kingsley, Warnic
and Wapinitia, saya during the fourteen
years he has farmed in this county be has
never seen such a luxuriant growth of grain
Tbe prospects are exceedingly promising for
a bonntitul crop. IN o grain is snttenng in
the least, but ram would be very acceptable.
The. case of ravishment reported in to
day's paper was not known to any of cur
city or county officers until 6 o'clock in the
evening of the succeeding day. The sheriff
and marshal immediately went in search of
the culpnt.and hunted the town thoroughly
lor several hours. Ihe lady should have
informed the officers as soon as possible,
and then thev might have had an opportu
nity of capturing tbe villain.
Fossil Journal: The stockmens' spring
ride for horses commenced last Monday in
this part of tbe county. Tbe first camp
was at the cattle corral near the forks of
Deep creek. Messrs. Bridges, Barnard,
Mahlon Hall, Perin, Steiwer, Rose, Stew
art, Turple and others were represented in
person or by agent in the ride The princi
pal object of the round-up is to gather
horses for breeding purposes and also for
breaking.
Fossil Journal: Stock has fattened this
spring faster than usual.- some attribute
his to the fact that tbe bulial o grass is tak
ing the place of the bunch grass in places
where the bunch grass has been overstocked
or , fed too close by sheep, and this buQalo
grass matures earlier than the bunch grass,
and has run up to seed some time ago. It
said to be a better early grass than the
bunch grass, but it dries out sooner, and
does not compare favorably with the bunch
grass for a fall and winter grass.

We learn that a terrible crime was com'
mitted in the suburbs of the city Thursday
night. An old lady, over seventy years of
age, living alone, was awaacnea ac miu-
ight by a rutnan breaking open the door,
who immediately choked and forcibly
ravished her. After accomplishing his
hellish deed, he robbed her of S'2 and lett.
It was dark and the villain's face could not
be seen. The officers, as soon as informed
pf tbe affray, made a thorough search of the
city; bat could not find any suspicious
character. The lady is highly respected,
and of most exemplary character.
Speaking of G. W. Hunt, the O. & W.
manager, a correspondent to the Spo
kane Spokesman says: "It seems to me that
it is not difficult to become a railroad mag
nate. Hunt started into that line of busi
ness a few years ago with little money and
fine and extensive grading outut. By a
method of marketing bonds and asking for
and receiving subsidies he has built about
200 miles of railroad through a veiy pro
ductive section and is easily worth about
$2,000,000. Of course it needs brains
and that peculiar quality called nerve to
risk all on the cast of a die. But when the
all in question amounts to bo little as Hunt's
did at the beginning, it is surprising to see
his success."

If the present political canvass is going to
be a personal fight the sooner the Republi
cans know it the better. Two years ago
the Wasco Sun singled out Mr, Gourlay,
the candidate for assessor, as its target for a
scries of petty attacks, leaving thn rest of
the ticket alone. From this week's issue,
which has just come to band, it would ap
pear the same tactics are about to be fol
lowed by the same paper against the aama
gentleman. Editors may come and editors
may go, but Democracy changes never.
After proving that Mr. 'Gourlay has not
farmed any for a period of many months (a
terrible crime, by the way, and oae which
wholly unfits bim for being a candidate for
county clerk) the editor goes on to say that
the farmers will not support Mr. Gourlay,
because he characterized their "third party"
as a combinanon oi political soreneaas,
grangers and prohibitionists. This remark
must bave grown out of an incident that
happened at a meeting held in this town last
winter. Mr. Gourlay was present, so was
the writer, and about 30 others. Some one
asked what the principles of the third
party were? Ne one seemed to know. Mr.
Gourlay was singled out and requested to
inform the meeting, if he knew, what those
principles were. This, remember, was be
fore this party had made any organization
east of tha mountains. Expressly disown
ing all personal knowledge of the party, Mr.
Gourlay said that the common rumor had it
that the party in the valley counties was
composed of "soreheads, freetraders and
prohibitionists." Tbe editor of the Sun has
"granger" instead of "freetrader" the word
"granger" was never used. The Sun would
teach iu readers that Mr. Gourlay gave out
this as his own opinion. He did nothing of
the kind, and no man who was present at
the meeting, and has any regard for the
truth, will say so. But enough, the matter
is of little importance perhaps, it may,
however, be a straw to show which way the
wind is blowing. If the Sun is going to
make a personal fight, and single out the
Republican candidate for clerk as tbe mark
for its arrows, it can rest assured that it
will get all it wants of it before election
day.
I recommend for the Sun'i consideration
the gentlemanly conduct of the Times
Mountaineer during tbe last campaign
and tne present, in which not a word
derogatory to the charaoter of any o! the
Democratic county candidates appeared.
Will tbe Sun go and do likewise? We shall
see. a P. a
