Sehome Gazrtte: A deck hand on the
steamer Fairhaven, whose name we could
not learn, met with a frightful and probably
fatal accident- last night about 5:30. As
the boat was tying up at the Fairhaven
wharf a rope was thrown on the dock; jrpd
made fast. This nian in some way became
entangled in it a d the tension caused by the
moving boat broke one leg, absolutely
twisting it out of place and he also received
revere internal mjuiiea which will most
likely prove fatal. Temporary relief whs
given him here. He was placed iu a berth
and will be conveyed to the Marine hospi
tal in Seattle. He was resting easily up
to the time of the departure of the steamer
for Seattle and hopes are entertained that
be may recover. - i
W. VV. Journal: On Saturday night, a
fellow named E. E Kerr, entered Mr. aud
Mrs. John Bentley'a room over Pearson's
grocery store and stole Mro. B.'s jewelry.
.Luckily Chariie O'Neil happened to see the
fellow aud got his eagle eye on biin and
when it become known what had hapoened,
Charlie and Oificer Ames forthwith went on
a still hunt. Tney found their man, re
covered the jewelry and put bim on ice.
When asked, why he forgot God's Holy
commandment, which says: - "Thou ahalt
not steal?", be. said, "well I needed money
and ha.i to have it." Evidently it was a
ground hog case. - Portia Ring 'was also
arrested, but he had nothing to do with the
theft. Kerr was brought before Judge Lam
bert for a bearing and bound over to. the
charge of burglary. He is now in the
county cooler.
Sehome Gazette: Mr. Frank Winans re
turned ilouday from San Francisco, via
Seattle. Up to 3 P. M Sunday he was
ignorant ot his wife's death, and when in,
formed was visibly affected' by the sad
news. Upon reaching here he immediately
went with a party to the scene of the acci
dent, but up to 6 o'clock last night when
the party returned, nothing had been dis
covered. Although the nine usual days
were up on Monday, no trace ot the bodies
can be found, and it is thought by experts
that the peculiar properties of the water of
Lake Whatcom, its coldness, etc , will pre
serve the bodies and that they may not
come to the surface for a week or even tw
weeks from now. Loggers who work on
the lake say that when stray logs reach
that part of the lake where the drowning
occurred they disappear and are never seen
again. This would lead to the conclusion
that there is a subterranean passage at
this point.

East Oregonian: Nothing has been d'ne
in the Long Creek road matter. The. iueu
in town have not been drinkiqg and are
quiet and orderly, yet there is a strung
undercurrent of indignation manifested
that may lead to trouble. A meeting was
held, resolutions adopted, and a committee
of three appointed to "do the talking,"
which waited upon Commissioner bar
gent and Cashier italey. The latter still
refuses to cash tbe checks, while the
former asserts that there is or should be a
surplus of appropriation money yet re
maining in the batik. Possibly the mat
ter may be adjusted satisfactorily in a few
days, as a great deal of pressure has been
brought to bear by the graders, who are
organized and determined. An appeal to
tbe goveinor for aid will probably be
made by the graders, in the hope that he
may be able to settle tho matter in tayor
of the workingmen, whose friend he is.

Here Is a rae story on E. V, Smalloy,
who was in Helena a few davs ago in the
interest of the Jforthwent Magazine. His
wonderful resemblance to his friend, the
late President Garfield has often been
noted by those who were lamiliar with
the appearance of both men, and this re
semblance is said to become more strik
ing as Mr. Smallcy nears the age ot Gar
field at the time of his death. One time
he happened on the Irain with Mrs. Gar
field. When Warren, Ohio, was reached
both left the train and went out on the
station platform, and as it happened they
were together. A lady rushed through
the crowd, of passengers and after kissing
Mrs. Garfield turned to Mr, Smatley and
plauted a kiss square on bis cheek- Of
course tbe modest man was em harassed
beyoud measure, but when he found be
had been mistaken for the president the
siiua'ion dawned upon bim. The story
went the rounds, but it has not been tor

ready to spring the story in a social gath.

border of the Tongue river reservation:
One night net 'ong ago about twelve In
dians stole H000 or 4000 pounds of beef
from James H. Ferguson's ranch. Tbey
were discovered while departing with
their booty, wert pursued by Ferguson
and forty of his men, and the meat was
recovered. : A feW days 'afterward Fergu

the ranch at night from a trip, when they
were ambushed along the road by Indians.
Ferguson was shot through the heart, dy
ing instantly. One of his men was shot
in the groin and died next day Two
nthers received serious wound?. The In
dians have since been thoroughly armed
and settlers have become so alarmed that
many of them have abandoned their
homes and run away. It is loarned from
Fort Veigh that two companies at Tongue
river agency and Roseburg are considered
sufficient to cope with the Indians, and
no more troops will be ordered out at

The prospect for good crops in this county

About three weeka ago a young man, the
son of Hon. Robert Mays, of Wasco county,
while herding horses on Muddy, in the
northeastern part of this county, found
what be believed to be tbe burned remains
of a man. Young Mays asserted that the
skull was ant burned so but what it was
easily recognized as that of a human. The
company who were with him gathering
horses thought he was mistaken and made
light of the matter, bnt he, young Mays,
was positive he was right. This, in view of
tbe fact that George Nutting was last seen
in that neighborhood a little over a vear
ago, leads us to believe that young Mays
was right, and, that tho remains are those
of Mr Nutting. We think tbe matter
should be investigated by the proper an
thoritiea.

County School Superintendent Brooks re
ports that considerable excitement was cre
ated iu Camas Prairie, whijh is sitnated
just south of Mt. Adams in this county, on
Tuesday of last week, by the little 9-year-
old daughter, Bettie, of Mr. Antone Wat
lenbrock failing to pnt in her appearance at
home that evening from school. The school
house is several miles from the child's home,
and the recent hard winds, it seems, had
blown some trees down across the trail, and
as tbe child attempted to go around them,
no doubt concluded to take a little cut-off,
bnt she failed to strike the trail again,
When about dusk she failed to put in ai
appearance at home, ber mother became
thoroughly alarmed, and fearing that the
child was lost, she notified several of the
neighbors, who commenced a search and
secured the country without avail all that
night between the school house and home.
The next morning the search was renewed
with largely increased forces, Mr. Brooks
turning out Himself to assist. Along in the
afternoon becoming very tired and hungry,
and finding himself in the vicinity of Vin
cent Bjrdes' place, he went to the house
with the hope of getting something to eat.
Here be fortunately met the county com
missiouers, accompanied by Hugh Phillips,
who had just made camp after their day's
work, examining and listing school kind, and
after eating a hasty dinner they too joined
in tbe search.
By this time the poor mother was almost
frantic, (the father was away from home).
Bears and panthers were occasionally seen
in the timber, and the child had not been
seen tor tweuty-four hours, and all sorts of
conjectures were indulged in by the search
ers as to her probable fate, and it was tbe
general impressiou that if found she would
no doubt be demeuted. They were occa
sionally encouraged by finding the little
one's track in the ashes of an old burned
log, and finally by forming a skirmish line
almost a mile long, and advancing cautiously
through the woods Mr. Daniel Jordan, who
occupied the extreme left fUnk, discovered
her sitting serenely on tbe root of ' a tree
resting, and still carrying her dinner pail.
It was then about dusk in the eveuing and
they bad almost made np their minds that
they would be compelled to report another
fiuitless day's search. It was estimated
that she bad walked fully fifteen miles in
ber wanderings and when found was five
miles from home, having climbed that big
mountain 1500 feet high, which skirts
Camas Prairie on the south. It was a
happy crowd as they returned with the lost
child, and many were tho big tears of joy
that were shed in being able to report suc
cess Instead of failure.
When interrogated about being lost, she
said she did not sleep any during the night,
ot when she would get cold she would
walk on. It was just thirty boars from the
time she became lost nntil she was found
and restored to her mother. '

M. J. McDaniel, baa in trust for certain

MASS MEETING.
Uneani vocal Expression in Favor of
Pumping Water Prom the Columbia
Kiver in Preference to Buying the
old Plant and Using the Prtsent
System.
From Tuesday's Daily.
Lst evening a mass meeting was held in
this city in reference to the water question
whether to buy the old plant or immedi
ately begin the system of pumping from the
river. A large crowd assembled at the old
court house, and, as soon as the meeting
waa called to order by Mayor Moody, a
motion was made that we do not purchase
the righta of The Dalles Mill and Water
Co. Hon. J. E. Atwater was loudly called
for, and he went forward. At this juncture
the crowd bad thronged the room so that
there was not breathing space, and loud de
mands were madefor the opera house. Being
unanimously decided the meeting adjourned
to the Vogt Grand, where every seat was oc
t-npied. Mr. Atwater continued his speech
in a most masterly manner, dwelling upon
the disadvantages of the present system,
and the nrgent necessity of a new method
of water-w .rkr. He was followed by Judge
W. T. Newcombe, who said that twenty
four years ago the system was bad, and he
presumed it was so yet. He was loudly
encored, and ended his speech amidst the
wildest applause. Mr. M. T. Nolan, at
this iuncture. crave tbe people facts and
figures regarding tbe two systems of water
works, which were absolutely convincing to
all present. .After his remarks loud calls
were made for John Michell, who, mount
ing the platform, in a concise and careful
manner reviewed both positions on tbe
Question for and against purchasing the
old plant. He demonstrated by facts and
figures that the most available and feasible
way was in pumping from the river and not
purchasing tbe rights of the old company.
He was listened to with marked attention,
and at the close loudly applauded. At the
close of Mr. Michell's speech. Rev. O. D.
Taylor made a motion to adjourn, and in
supporting his motion said the matter was a
cold-blooaed business proposition; the pre'
ceding speakers bad only presented a
partial view of the matter, and it
should receive farther consideration. He
was answered by Mr. M. T. Nolan, who
gaye cold, ice-clad figure regarding the two
systems proposed-by gravity and pumping.
Mr. Michell then arose and in a few remarks
resented most emphatically the insult im
plied in the remarks of Rev. 0. D. Taylor
that tbe former speakers were demagogues
and attempted to speak about matters about
which they knew nothing, and also in
most ettectiye manner cauterized the ex
pression "cold-blooded business proposi
tion". After the close of his remarks he
was followed by Hon. J. L. Story, who gave
a concise and terse history of, the water
question, and tbe figures of the probable
cost of tbe two systems pumping and
gravitation. He made a good impression
on the audience, and at tbe close of his re
marks.amidat a storm of applanse, the ques
tion was called for, and a rising vote taken,
In favor of the motion that Dalles City do
not purchase the old plant there was almost
an unanimous vote. When the negative
was taken there was only one Rev. O. D.
Taylor. The expression of the meeting was
undoubtedly in favor of the cheapest and
quickest method possible tor a water system,
and this will be the issue iu the coming city
election.
COMMON COUNCIL.
At a special meeting of the city council
called Thursday evening for the purpose of
considering the water question, the mayor'a
remarks were substantially as follows:
"In justice to our citizens tbe question
of a water supply can no mnger remain un
settled. For practically one year it haa
been in the hands of the water commission
and as yet we have no definite results. A
portion of the commission, as well as of
your body, are and have been in favor of a
gravity supply, and thorough examination
has been made of available (sources. The
commission has employed no less than three
engineers in the hope that some such supply
might be found, and have been unwilling to
abandon the scheme, although no one has
been able to show them where sufficient
water could be made available by the ex
penditure of the money .which tbe city has
for this purpose.
Tbe commission were stronely in favor of
purchasing tbe plant of The Dalles Mill and
Y ater Co., at a reasonable price, although
this purchase would have entailed consider
able additional outlay for enlargement.
betterment and repairs. A liberal offer
was made, tben increased, tbe time - lor
answer extended, and every effort made to
secure the" plant at a figure which would
leave sufficient funds for the necessary im
provements, but without success.
We must now relinquish the idea of a
gravity system, as a years earnest en
deavors on tbe part of men heartily in
terested in the city's welfare have proved
unsuccessful in this direction. Tbe city
should no longer wait in the hope that the
water company may relent and lower their
price. Water we must have, and it is pos
sible to get it. I have therefore, . gentle
men, prepared the following resolution,
which I shall now submit for your consider
ation: At the last meeting of the council, the
final report of the water commission con
cerning the purchase of The Dalles Mill and
Water Company plant was received, naming
as the lowest price 'obtainable $50,000 with
rebate of one month's revenue. A full
council not-being present, and it being the
wish of the quorum that so important a
matter be brought before the entire body it
was resolved that action be postponed nntil
June 9th, in tbe hope of having eyery mem
ber present,' and it waa further resolved
that the citizens and tax-payers be requested
to attend this meeting that an expression
of tbeir opinion might be bad. t,
On June 9th a quorum of the council not
being present that body adjourned, and a
mass meeting ot the citizens waa held at
which tbe question of the purohase of the
present plant was discussed, as was also tbe
alternative of obtaining the supply from
the Columbia riyer. After numerous
speeches and a showing of the comparative
advantages and expenses by the secretary
of the water commission a vote was taken.
which was practically unanimous in favo?
of tbe Columbia river supply; there being
hut one dissenting voice. Now,
WftaaEAt tbe necessity frr a better water
supply is so urgent, and
WBBBS4a the publio vote has been
heard in this matter, and is so pronouncedly
in favor of the Columbia river supply, be it
Jteaotcetl that the purchase ot Tbe .Dalles
Mill and Water Company plant be aban
doned and that the water commission be
and hereby are instructed to issue without
delay a call for bids for tbe construction of
a pumping system. '
A vote was taken after warm discussion
which resulted in a tie two Ytflg in the
affirmative and twq in tge negative. With.
oat further remark tbe mayor cast the de
ciding vote in favor of the pumping system.
There has been a continued endeavor to
bring together a fnll council for tbe consid
eration of tbe measure, but as repeated
efforts had proyed futile further delay wai
thought nnadviaable.'
A Son's Awfal Crime.
OrejrMdan.
A doable shooting tragedy, wbicb oc
sorted near Milwaukee at an early boor
Wednesday morning, has created a great
sensation in the usually quiet and unevent
ful life of that community.
. Daniel srvey, who feaj ljye4 for any 1
years with his mother, Mrs. Mary Bunnell,
and stepfather, Charles Bunnell, shot his
mother through the temple with a pistol.
and then placing tbe weapon to his own
bead, pulled the trigger and completed tbe
tragedy. The weipon used was a 3'2-calibre
Smith & Wesson, and both mother and son
lived nntil about 9:30 o'clock in the fore
noon, when death came to their relief. Mrs.
Bunnell died just five minutes before her
son.
lhere are peculiar circumstances con
nected with the crime that must leave the
impression that the shooting was premedi
tated, the verdict of the coroner s jury to
the contrary notwithstanding.
