ONE SIDE OF A STORY.
Sas Francisco, May 30. Osborn Con
frelton. a Drohibitioti orator, who has been
engaged in lecturing throughout the state.
took the boat from this city to Alameda
last even ins. Some hours later he was
.aken to the office of the chief of police
of Oakland, bv a car conductor, who
found him weak and almost insensible on
the Odk'and wharf. He had a severe
scalp wound, and a bullet, evidently fired
from a small caliber pistol, bad broken a
small pair ot scissors which he carried id
his vest pocket, causing an abrasion ot
the skin. Congelton claims that when be
stepped upon the ferrvboat he was accost
ed by a stranger who called him by name
and who continued conversation witn him
regarding prohibition matters until they
arrived at Alameda, where they separated,
night to attend a lecture. An Dour later,
when the prohibitionist took the train for
Oakland, be was again accosted by the
stranger, who accompanied him to Ins
destination. On leaving the train the
sti anger insisted on directing Congelton to
the church the latter wished to attend,
although (Jonzelton protested be was
taking a wrong direction. They bad not
gone iur, he states, when be was struck on
the bead by a club aua became insensible.
He claims that when be recovered con
sciousness he beard some one say 'Vh.ui
him," and a pistol flashed. He again
became insensible and remained so until
he found himself in the waters of Oakland
creek. He managed to clamber upon the
wharf, where he was found by a conductor.
Congelton was formerly editor of the
Philadelphia Quill, a prohibition paper,
and is now acting as correspondent for the
New York Voice, the national prohibition
paper. He claims to have received a letter
last Sunday sip-ned "Vigilance Committee''
threatening him unless he stopped bis
efforts in behalf of prohibition and return
East.

Seattle, May 28. An unknown man
was struck and killed by the driving
shaft of the Northern Pacific passenger
train from Tacoma, about 9 :15 to-night,
on a trestle near Black River Junction.
As soon as the train came on tbe trestle
the man was seen to step on to the caps,
out of danger, but as tbe train approached
nearer he lav down on tbe ties, on the out
side of the track, and tbe engine's driver
shaft crushed his head as it went down
passing over him, killing him instantly.
His right arm was also horribly mangled.
it is leirned tuat tbe man s name was
Joseph S. Foley and that he worked for
II. Watson en a farm near Tacoma up to I

A BUHGLAB AKKESTED.
Peoria, May 29. A sensation has been
created here by the arrest of John Spell-
man, oldest son of Edward Spellman, the
Irish American, who became qnite widely
known during, tbe Cronin trial, at which
be was a witness. During tbe past two
months s serJes of burglaries have been
committed in this city and tbe police have
been absolutely unable to obtain a clue to
tbe perpetrator. Nothing but money was
taken in each case. Last night a police
man discovered a man working on a safe
in a large wholesale house, and succeeded
in effecting bis arrest.. It was young
Spellman. He bas confessed that be was
tbe perpetrator of all the recent burglar
ies. ,
THE BOAT CAPSIZED.
La Grakde, . Or., May 29. A young
man named Bennett and two young
ladies, daughters of William Booth, of
the Cove, went out boat riding on the
Grande Roode river near tbe Cove yes
terday, and not returning borne search
was made fer them, resulting in finding
the boat capsized. - At last reports the
body of young Bennett had been found,
while those of the girls have not yet been
found.
HIS BODY FOUND.
Helena, Ment, May SO. Robert Fer
guson, foreman of a stock ranch near
Miles City, left that place May 6 in search
of stock supposed to have been stolen,
and nothing more was seen of bim till
yesterday, when his dead body was found
buried in tbe loose sand in a draw. Two or
three days previously tbe body of bis horse
was found perforated witb bullet boles,
aud a systematic search - was instituted
tor the body, witb tbe above result
Ferguson was murdered . by Cbeyenne
Indians, whom be came upon in the act
of skinning his stolen cattle. There is
great excitement among the cowboys.
The Indians are also arriving and prepar
ing for an expected attack. Warrants
have been sworn out for tbe arrest of
several redskins, sad it is expected that
trouble will follow an attempt to make
arrests.
DENIES THAT HE IS GUILTY. t
Havana, May 80. Eyraud, although
be acknowledges bis indentity, energetic
ally denies that be committed'tbe murder
be is accused of. He claims that when be
arrived at tbe apartment of Galnelle
Botnpard on tbe fatal day he found there
the corpse of Gouffa, wbo bad been mur
dered by persons unknown to bim. Tbe
only part be took in the bloody deed, he
says, was to help Ga brie He on account of
tbe affection be had for ber to remove tbe
body from the premises.
New York, A'ay 80. From further
advices received by tbe Courier des Elats
Unit it appears that before Eyraud ar
rived at Havana be had oeen arrested in
tbe City of Mexico, but bad hoodwinked
tbe police there. He denied bis identity
in such a candid way that be was released.
When arrested iyraud was armed with
a revolver and dagger, and was searching
for the wife of tbe hotel keeper, wbo bad
giveu him away to tbe police to murder
her. He told a friend be would be re
venged and then kill himself.
TERRIBLE PANIC.
Fobt Worth, Tex., May 30. Tbe
Texas Spring Palace was to night destroy
ed by fire.- One life is known to have
been lost and many iojured. The loss is
estimated at $150,000.' Tbe exhibit was
to haye closed Sunday nigbt and a grand
ball was in progress to-nigbt, with several
thousand persons present. When tbe cry
of fire was heard a terrible panic ensued.
Tbe wildest rumors as to the loss of life
are being circulated, while many thought
none were burned. -
Several persons were senonsly iojured
by being trampled or scorched.
S tar as is known at 1 :30 A. M. no
lives were lost. A Haynee, a contractor,
is still allye, but cannot recover. A score
of people were painfully hurt.
FLOOD IN WISCONSIN.
Arcadia, Wis., May 80. A terrific rain
storm came up at midnight last night.
Water fell in invents for several hours.
flooding the nrer, which soon overflowed.
Two mill dams were swept away and flood
ed almost tbe entire village. For a time
tbe village is in tbe midst of a river, wbicb
poured through tbe streets from two to six
feet deep, washing ont. sidewalks and
fence, and moving bouses from their
foundations. ' The only life known to be
lost is tbat of an infant of Mrs Elsen,
wbicb was swept from iu mother's arms
by the swift current and drowned. Every
bridge in the vicinity was swept away,
THE SKULKING APACHES.
Deming. N. M.. May 30. The assert
ions made in some quarters at Los Ange
les that tbe murder ot Robert riardie in
Arizona was not done by Indians have
cieated some comment in the territory,
Colonel Grau, near whose place tbe mur
der took place, wrote to Dr. Haynes that
he bad discovered moccasin tracks, and
that at least four Indians were in tbe
nartv which did tbe killing A latter
ou'rage lias removed all doubts, if any
exsisted here, tbat Apaches did tbe deed.
After tbe killing of Uardie tbe Indians
crossed over to Las Animas valley, took
five horses, fired on some boys at Deer
creek and killed a miner in Vista, about
bfty miles south of tbe valley in old Mexi
co. Tbe size of the marauding party is
unknown, bat bait a dozen Apaches in
their peculiar skulking manner of war
fare are sufficient to keep all the outlying
territory between Tucton and El Paso
and from Meosollon mountains well
south into Chihuahua and Sonora in
state of continual alarm. Kucker can
yon, where tbe murder of Hurdle took
place, lies in the Eastern flank of the
Cbincahua mountains and strongholds
iu former raids of marauding bands of
Apaches. Tbe conformation of the
country is such that every facilitiy is offer
ed the Indiana to escape. Tbe mountain
ranges are detached and jagged Sierras,
easy of access and comparatively safe
from pursuit.
HEAVY DAMAGE BY WATER.
Stockton, May 31. The only land out
of water on tbe Williams and Bixlcr tracts,
on Union Island, is a place of twenty-five
acres, known as the Eidd ranch. A cross
levee protects this tract from tbe sea of
water backed up from tbe Sacramento
and San Joaquin rivers, but it is feared
the levee will not hold unless the water
falls.
After spending about $15,000 in build
ing up cross levees and repairing breaks
during tbe past two weeks, the Williams
boys became discouraged when a large
crevasse opened late last night on tbe
middle river levee, letlmg tbe flood lato
tbe middle division of 8000 acres of gram
standing six feet high, with heads eix
inches long.- The overflowed tracts con
tain about 15.000 acres, and the grain
acreage was about 11,000. j
Tbe damage, including repairing of
levees, and loss of crips, is estimated
at $500,000. Efforts are being made to
hold tbe home place, on which are located
nne dwelling, stables, bouses for
employes, store and warehouses, but it is
becoming dangerous and all hands must
move out. block is now being drowned
STRANGE CASE OF POISONING.
Chicago, May 31. Night before last
tbe family of Frank C. Enbn, a wealthy
i eel estate man, were taken violently ill
after supper witb symptoms of arsenic
poisoning. A hired man died in a short
time, but tbe doctor did not think tbe
cases of tbe others serious. To-day how
ever, Mr. Kuhn died and bis wile is in a
critical condition to-night.
It was at first thought tbe poison was
in a' pie bought at tbe bakery, but a
number of other pies, made at tbe same
time, were sold to families in tbe
neighborhood and produced no sickness.
Tbe police are investigating tbe matter.
PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED.
Jacksonville, Or., May 31. A pain
ful and perhaps serious accident happened
to State Senator Dr. A. C. Stanley as he
was returning with bis wife from Decora

bouse about 5 P.'M. on Saturday and en

DID INDIANS KILL HIM?
Los Angeles, Jane 1. General B. H
Grierson, commanding the department of
Arizona, to-day received the first official
report ot tbe murder of Robert Haidie
near Tombstone. Tbe report comes from
the commanding offcer at Fort Hua
chuca, and tends to throw more mystery
tban ever upon the point as to whether or
not Hardie was killed by Indians. Tbe
following is what tbe official report says :
Tbe statement ot murder made by Sir
Clark, a resident ot Huachuca, wbo was
at Tombstone when the Dews reached
there, is that Hardie and Dr. Haynes were
out riding about four miles from the
ranch wbiro they were stopping. About
4 P. M. tbey started to return. Hardie
was killed at the first fire, a bullet pass
ing through his heart. His index finger
of the lelt band showed powder burns.
Tbe doctor, who was with bim, claimed
that he was scouting in the brush for a
while. Tbe doctor caught Hardie's horse
end escaped. Tbe people at tbe ranch
secured Hardie's body and brought it to
Tombstone. Clark saw tbe body at the
undertakers before tbe inquest was beld.
He saw the pockets of bis clothes emptied
and tbe money counted. Tbe pocket
book was seemingly untouched. Tbe
body was uninutilated and without seem
ingly disfiguration. Tbe bullet bole was
straight tbrougti the body from the
front. Tbis indicates that tbe person
firing the shot was on a level with tbe
man killed. Clark's opinion is tbat Har
din was killed by other tban Indians, and
from motives other tban robbery. Al
though this report states tbat tbe fatal
shot was fired irorn tbe front at Hardie
by some person wbo was on a level witb
bim, Dr. Haynes, tbe only eye-witness of
tbe murder, claims tbat be saw a painted
Indian in the bills to the left of him, wbo
did tbe killing.
General Grierson states that a thorough
examination of Kuckers canyon does no
disclose any trace whatever ot Indians
For five days now troopers and experi
enced scouts have thoroughly scoured
the country in the vicinity wbere Hardie
was killed, and not a single print ot an
Indian moccasin can be found. There is
a mystery surrounding tbis murder tbat
has not yet been solved.

TEACHERS' ISHTUTE.
Full Report of Proceedings of the Insti
tute Held in this City Last Week.
The Teachers' Institute which has been
in session was opened on Monday morning,
May 26th, at 9 o'clock by Supt. A. a Con
nelly. The meeting being beld in the npper
room in tbe brick school house, a goodly
number of teachers, ex-teachers and friends
being present from varions parts of Wasco
county, including all the teachers in the
public schools in this place.
Tbe session was begun Monday morning
by singing "America," which was heartily
joined in by all present. Supt. Connelly
appointed Mr. Aaron Frozier chairman of
the meetings.
An address then followed by Mr. Connelly
welcoming tbe teachers to the institute, and
earnestly recommending all to avail them
selves of the benefits offered by the meet
ings to the mutual bent fit, knowledge,
health and poser of all. He spoke briefly
of tbe qualifications of the teachers as re
quired by the state and of the vast influence
held over the morals of children committed
to their charge. Mr. Connelly closed bis
remarks by asking the teachers to give due
attention to all branches presented during
the institute, giving a little wholesome ad'
vice tbat cherished bobbies might grace'
fully "be allowed to take a back seat and in'
viting all present to eater into discussions
freely that the work of the meetings might
not be in vain. -
Tho organization then followed. The
chair appointed Miss A. M. Lang secretary.
Tbe following committees were named: On
music, Misses Meyers, Hildebrandt and
Lang; On programme for evening, Prof. M.
S. Smith and Miss M. Micbell; On resolu
tions, Misses Rintoul, Frazier and Hilde
brandt. Miss Minnie Michell then read an inter.
eating paper on Orthography. A brief
summary of remarks showed that while
spelling is in part a natural gift, no child
with proper application to the new methods
now taught need be ashamed to write in
after life whenever he may be called upon
so to do. Miss Michell gave some excellent
methods as nsed in her work. A discussion
followed by the teachers on the several
methods employed.
The meeting closed at 11:30.
The afternoon meeting was called to order
at 1:45 by the chairman, Mr. Frazier. A
class of children from tbe primary grades
sang several songs. The regular programme
was then taken up, the first being a talk on
Geography by Mr. Troy Shelley. The
talk was very practical full of good points
and well calculated to make any leas ex
perienced teacher tban the speaker more
hopeful of success in tbe teaching of tbe
subject Mr. Shelley has bad many years'
experience in the school room, and is one
wbo bas never deemed himself infallible on
methods, thereby by careful observation
and comparison he bas broadened his views
and gleaned many valuable facts which be
explained in a very concise way. The con
nection of history and geography and their
unbounded help to each other facts con
cerning places and the people therein,
stories told to interest children and awaken
an ambition to grasp more, objects as in
dispensable in presenting some topics,
methods of remembering hrrd names, as by
games and by rhymes, were all talked about
at length by Mr. Sbelley. A discussion
then followed which was entered into by a
number of teachers. Prof. Torbet, of the
Wasco Academy, then presented to tbe
teachers a very comprehensive method of
extracting cube root, using blocks especially
designed for such work.
The meeting adjourned to meet at 6 P. M.
in tbe Court House.
Tbe following programme was rendered:
Music Wake, "Says the Sunshine, " by pri
mary pupils; Musio "The Doves," by pri
mary pupils; Recitation "The Pride of
Battery B," Dotty McFarland; Musio
Greetings, Mr. Yi'ood worth and Miss Lang;
Readings "Rivermouth Rocks, " Miss C.
Towiea. Mr. Frazier then gave a lecture
on tbe subject Home, School and Church.
It would be hardly just to attempt to give
a synopsis of the lecture in a few words.
It was listened to by those present with
interest and those who were attracted else
where during the evening lost some yery
homely advice. -
Tuesday morning's session was begun at
9:30 with a talk on Grammar by Mr. Fra
zier. On tbis subject as well as on others
on which be spoke Mr. Frazier gave his ex
perience and results of persistent efforts to
attain certain objects in plain simple lan
guage which was easy to follow.
Arithmetic was next introduced. Miss
L. G. Meyers brought a class of children to
practically illustrate what can be accom
plished in tb second year of a child's school
life. Her pupils proved very conclusively
that her instruction has been well carried
out and that they can do work which many
pupils in Grammar grades study over and
present in . careless way compared to that
written by them. A general discussion fol
lowed. Miss Mary Frazier g.ve a very
good talk on Geography. Sbe showed bow
interesting the study can be made by taking
in turn the subjects climate, currents,
winds, vegetation, etc., and (riving good
methods of inspiring pupils with a thirst
for more knowledge of everything connected
witb commerce, exports, eto.
Miss Ling then gave illustrations em
ployed in teaching the Three R's in a Pri
mary Room,
The meeting adjourned.
A discussion on History began the work
Tuesday afternoon, which was indulged in
by Messrs. Gilbert and Frazier and Misses
Michell, Boyer, Cooper and Frazier. Mr.
Gilbert gave a short impromptu talk ob
Hygiene in which tbesubjecta ventilation,
alcohol, tobacco, gum chewing and cleanli
ness were all given due attention. A gen
eral talk on school management followed, in
which Supt. E. B. McElroyj took an active
part.
The evening meeting at the court bouse
was made up of an address by Prof. Mo
EIroy, and a very instructive discussion
followed in which Messrs. Smith. T.,W
Terbet, Frazier, and others participated. ,
, euueauay morning s session waa not so
fully attended owing to the absence of cits-
teachers, the schools beioff in session on
tbat day. Mr. Gilbert read a paper on
"Didactics. - Many subjects whi-h h.rl
been iciven during tbe other maotina m
discussed. Mr. Connelly in his closing re
marks thanked the teachers for the
sies and favors extended to him and tbe in
terest manifested bv them while in Attan.
dance at the present Institute.
While the Institute baa been a success
owing to tbe efforts of a few teachers,
among whom may be mentioned Aaron
Frazier and M. S. Smith, who did all in
their power to draw out the sentiments of
the teachers in attendance, would it not be
well to remind the teachers that the Insti
tutes will be beld annually in this county
for the benefit of its educators. It may not
be amiss to hope tbat in thia time thev mv
gain confidence to express their approval or
the reverse of the next Institute's proceed,
ings in a more loquacious manner. Remem
ber the proverb, "V hen tbe fox is asleep
nothing falls into his mouth."

Oreqon Slate Weather Bureau in ca-spera-tionwitli
U. 8. Siynal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon. For week ending Man
81. 1890: .
Sunday and Monday were watm and
cloudless, the remainder of the week was
cool and cloudy with rain, which fell quite
copiously in tbe Willamette valley and with
showers elsewhere. Rain fell on the 28th,
29tb, 30th and 31st in Western Oregon and
on -the 30th and 31st in Eastern Oregon.
Ou the 28th and 29th it was generally light.
Owing to the correspondents having to mail
their reports on Thursday the rain is not
generally reported. Next week's bulletins
will evidently show the general effeot of the
rain. Cool, windy weather prevailed in
Eastern Oregon with frosts in sections,
which did slight damage to tender vegeta
tion. The lain cam down at a most opportune
time and has greatly benefitted everything.
Rain to weeks sgo would bave insured a
large spring crop; but as it is, usual condi-
tions from now on will allow of a large
crop to be harvested. In many sections
late sown spring grain did not germinate.
and the present rains may yet produce
yields were none were expected. Rain was .
badly needed; np to the 28th none of any
consequence having fallen sines April 20th,
and the temperature bas been rather high.
a result the ground became bard and
there was not that gaawth which was de
sired. In Grant county on tb 26tn tem
perature reached 93 degrees, and grass on
bills is drying up. Killing frost in Baker
county on the 28th and 30th, and light in
Union county which did little damage on
28th. Grain and other crop are very
promising in tbe Grande Rondo valley. In
Umatilla county snow fell in the mountains
on the 28th. Wheat beading out and doing
finely; in spots it is burned slightly.
Spring wheat is very promising. In Mor
row, wheat continue promising, and more
rain is desired. Considerable wind daring
the week. Rain is needed in Gilliam
conuty. Rye ha made a good crop; wheat .
look well and rain will insure a fine yield.'
Apples promising well. Frost on 28th did
some damage; spring grain not doing well.
In Wasco and Sherman winter wheat prom
ising. Cool weather very beneficial. Late
own grain ha not come np well. Fruit i
doing well. In Jackson county alfalfa cat
ting began on 26th; yield good. The con
tinued warm dry weather unfavorably
affected crops in Douglas county, bat the
present rain will produce a favorable
change. Excellent crops are almost now
certain throughout the Willamette valley.
Fall wheat when sown on summer fallow is
in fine condition, and in any event will
produce a good crop; when sown on atubble
land it is not so good. The spring wheat
ba been an uncertain crop, but the present
weather will allow of a fair crop to be har
vested. Strawberries are cheap and plenti
ful. Cherries are nearly ripe. 'Vegetables
are abundant. It seldom fail to' raia at
tbe proper time in Oregon, and the present
rain was most opportune.
