SHE WAS MURDERED.
Peoria, 111., June 21. Concerning the
finding of Kate Sbeenan's body in the
river here, later developments go to show
that the poor girl was murdered and the
body cast into the river to hide the crime,
The coroner's jury have been working on
the case for two davs, and yesterday
post mortem examination was made. It
was discovered taut tbe girl s neck wag
broken in two places, and it is tbe opinion
of experts that her bead was twisted or
bent over some object until tbe neck: was
broken. Her clothing was much disor
dered, and her hands were in front of her
face, a9 if she had died while pleading for
mercy from her destroyer.
Jf iTO people are held on suspicion of
complicity in the crime.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Birmingham, Ala., June 21. A serious
wreck occurred on the Georgia Pacific
railway short! v before noon to day, in
which thirteen Deo Die were oainfullv in
jured. TheAnniston accommodation was
coming past Gate City at a speed of
twenty miles an hour when it struck a
witch. The engine, baggage car, and
second-class coach passed safely over tbe
switch, as also did tbe tront wheels of the
rear coacb. As the rear wheels struck it
the switch turned and tbe rear wheels of
the passenger coach were thrown on
another track while tbe front wheels fol -lowed
tbe other cars. Tbe rear coacb
was consequently jerked violently around,
thrown on one side and broken to pieces
before the engine was stopped. Thirteen
people were hurt, some ot them quite
seriously, although no deaths have yet
resulted.
OYEB THE CATABACT.
Niagara Falls, June 21. At G o'clock
this morning a pleasure boat was dis
covered floating down tbe upper river.
Just as it reached a point opposite the
Third Sister island it lurched to one side
and people who were watching through
glasees are positive that one or more
persons were, lying in tbe bottom. It
continued on its way tbrougo toe upper
rapids and made an awful plunge over
the Horseshoe falls, without any stir be
ing made on board. It seems probable
that one or two lives were lost. This is
tbe second boat that has made the leap
over tne cataract tbis week.

HOISTING 'WORKS BURNED.
Dayton, Nev., June 21. The Lady
Bryan hoisting works, in the Six-Mile
canyon, owned by Governor Stevenson,
burned to the ground to-day. The fire
caught from a blacksmith shop, and there
was no water at band to extinguish the
flames.. Loss. $22,000: insurance, 10,
000. A GENERAL REDUCTION.
Omaha, June 21. President Holcomb
has issued an order for a general reduct
ion of 25 per cent, in the expenses of the
machinery and mechanical department of
tbe Union Pacifiu railroad. In explana
tion of this action Mr. Middleton says
that tbe work is very light because busi
ness has been reduced to a minimum and
there is no excuse for keeping expenses
up' when there is hardly anything doing.
It has been decided to limit the working
days to eight hours. The reduction or
dered cannot be met by simply shortening
tne working day, consequently the force is
to be reduced about 5 per cent. Tbis
means that from fifty to sixty men will be
laid off from the shop force in this city,
also a proportional number of the forces
at Armstrong, Denver . Salt Lake ' Citv.
Portland and other place.
THE DREADED CHOLEBA.
St. Petersburg, June 22. An epidem-
ic'of Asiatic cholera in Europe this year
now seems inevitable. For some time
past it has been raging in Eastern Syiia,
especially in the valleys of tbe Tigris and
Euphrates. It is not officially announced
that the plague has spread ir.to tbe Rus
sian empire, though it has crossed the
Volga river and already is causing much
mortality in many towns in Southern
Russia. There is almost a panic over it at
Odessa, although no cases have been re
ported in that city. Fears are also ex
pressed that it Vill reach Constantinople
by means of traffic from Bagdad, where it
is raging with violence. The extensive
commerce between these two ports and all
parts of tbe world, including the United
States, renders this probability a most
terrible one to contemplate. Tbe emperor
is preparing to put all infected districts
of Southern Russia under strict military
quarantine, . hoping thus to check the
northward and westward advance of the
epidemic;
Paris, Jnne 22. At a cabinet council
of tbe ministry of war, De Freycinet in
tbe chair, M. Constans, minister of the in
terior, informed his colleagues of steps
that he bad taken to prevent cbolera from
being imported across tbe Pyrenees.
Disinfecting apparatus have been sent
on tbe Spanish frontier. Messrs. Des
Cbarrin and Netter have been charged
with the organization of a sanitary
service. President Carnot has signed a
decree forbidding tbe importation of fruit
and vegetables from Spain, and tbe text
of tbis has been telegraped to tbe proper
officials.
Madrid, June 22. The cholera epi
demic makes no progress. There are few
fresh cases if any. Officials declare 75
per cent, of those attacked will recover.
' . STRIKE AT LA GRANDE.
( Lv Gbande, June 22. Tbe employes of
the Union Pacific machine shops at tbis
place went on a strike this morning. All
bands went to work as usual at 7 o'clock
snd at 8 o'clock the whistle blew and all
tbe machines stopped work.
UNDER A NEW TARIFF.
Washington June 22. The clerk of
tbe senate finance committee has com
pleted the preparation of the statement
nailed for by Plumb's resolution adopted
by tbe senate, showing increases and re
ductions in tbe revenue which are esti
mated to follow the enactment of tbe sen'
ate tariff bill compared with the present
law.and with the bouse or McKinley bill.
Tbe importations of fiscal year of dutiable
goods, tbe rates of which it is proposed to
change, aggregated $390,437,117 70, in
value, and the duties collected on these
aggregated $161,408,816 49. The esti
mated duty on these articles, or an ag
gregate equal to tbat of the fiscal year,
under tbe bouse bill, is estimated at $205,
344, 977 77, while under tbe Senate bill
tbe estimated recipla from tbe same ag
gregate are $201,689,907 08. The house
bill transfers to tbe free list articles which
during tbe fiscal year, 1889, were import
ed of an aggregate value of $107,921,
735 04, and paid duty amounting to $60,
755,896 12. The senate bill tranfers to
tbe free list- articles valued in importa
tions for 1S89 at $108,919,907 15,and pay
ing an aggregate duty of $60,599,843 69.
Adding to tbe first of tnese amounts the
amount of. internal revenue reduction
found in tbe bouse bill ' and struck out
by tbe senate bilLtbe total reduction of
revenue by tbe house bill is found to be
$71, 064,774 18, while tbat of tbe senate
bill is the figure named above $00,599,-
343 63.
I bese reductions, the committee says,
appear to be certain, but if the import
should be tbe same as last year, under tbe
new rates tbe reduction would amount
under the house bill to $26,128,624 90,
aod under thesenate bill to $20,319,238 10.
Tbe table further shows tbat tbe average
equivalent ad valorem rate under the ex
isting law is 41.34 per cent., under tbe
house bill 52 80 per cent., and under tbe
senate bill 51.97 percent.
STAMPED OCT HIS LIFE.
Seattle, June 22. A PoU-Intdligeneer
special from Hot Springs says: William
W. Clark, an engineer in tbe employ of
Bard Brothers & Co., of tbe Green River
lumber and shingle mills, of this city, was
most brutally murdered, about 9 o'clock
this morning by Burt Redmond, another
employe of tbe same firm, engaged as a
man of all work around tbe mill. Tbe
murder was the outcomo of an old feud
of about a yeur's standing. The men
were employed at the time bv the Tenino
Lumber Company, of -Tenino. Trouble
arose over some dispute about tools, which
ended in their coming to blows, but were
stopped before any injuries were inflicted.
and bad feelings has existed between tbe
two men. ClarK left Tenino and came to
Hot Springs in April. Since then be was
employed by tbe Hot Springs Company
to do their plnmbing. After tbat be was
employed by Bard Brothers & Co., as en
Sineer.
Yesterday morning Redmond came into
the engine room and was promptly order
ed out by Clark. Redmond refused to
go, defying Clark to put him out. Clark
grasped a piece of iron laying bandy, and
cuasea iteamona out. in tbe evening
Doth bud a lew drinks and Clark was
afraid Redmond would lay for him, and
he tried to borrow a revolver, saying he
was airaia iteamond would tiy to do him.
After this Clark asked permission to stay
an night with A. (J. Harqubarson, saying
ne was atraid to stay down at tbe hotel
where be lodged.
this morning after' breakfast Clark
started to go from tbe hotel to a saloon,
situated close by, and when but a short
distance from the hotel be met Redmond,
Jobn Davis-- and a saloonkeeper named
Pike.' When they got along with each
otber Redmond ttruck over Pike's
shoulder and hit Clark square in the face,
knocking him down. He then jumped
on bis face with both feet and stamped
him until he was almost beyond recogni
tion. Tbey were separated, and Clark
was removed to-an office close by, where
he expired in a few minutes. Redmond
made no attempt to escape, but telegraph
ed to the sheriff at Seattle tbat be bad
killed Clark and was awaiting arrest.
Upon searching him they found a 48
caliber revolver. An officer arnved this
evening and took Redmond in custody.
John Dans was arrested later as an ac
cessory, he having kept others from in
terfering while Redmond was stamping
bis face into a shapeless mass. Davis is
a brutal-looking chap, powerfully built,
and about 23 years of age. ' Both were
taken to Seattle on the evening train.
Redmond is a young man about 22
dh nf an. anil ann nf D.J-,..,
years of age and a son of Gaorgo Redmond,
of . Tenino, who reached here on tbe
evening train and was almost prostrated
over the affair. He did not accompany
his son to Seattle, but remained to attend
tbe inquest, which will be held to-morrow
afternoon.
There were loud threats of lynching,
but the more law-abiding citizens pre
yaiU'd upon tbe masses to let the law take
its course. . The greatest excitement
existed for a while aod only for tbe good
judgment of tbe law-abiding people, the
death or Clark would bave been re
venged before night. Tbe coroner's in
quest is expected to bring out some, very
important developments.

THE LABOR LEADERS.
New Tobk, June 23. General Work
man Powderly'a attack on ex-President
Gompeis and tbe American Federation of
Labor, at tbe Enigbts of Labor Cooper
Union mass meeting on Friday, is
generally considered as the forerunner of
a struggle between tbe two organizations
tbat is likely to result to tbe disadvantage
of .both. Conservative men on both sides
deplore the controversy, and hope tbat
the dispute may yet be amicaDiy settled.
President Gompers, however, is up in
arms, aod is, if anything, more aggressive
than Powderly, and courts a full sifting
of the whole trouble.
President Gompers was seen at tbe
headquartets of tbe American Federation
to-day and expressed himself very forcibly
concerning Powderly. He enumerated
the case ot tbe striking cigarmakers,
printers aud iron steel workers with scabs,
and said the documents were at hand to
prove in b!ack and white the truth of his
assertions. . Continuing, President Gom
pers said: ,
1 charge the officers ot tne nmgLis oi
Labor as being cheap and servile labor
agents, and that tbey. bave made tbe
Knights of Labor, organization tbe same
to tbe labor movement in general that the
Printers' Protective fraternity, organized
to furnish scab labor, is' to the Inter
national Typographical, Union.- General
Master Workman Jfowderly insinuates that
I am cur and thief. If he believed tbat
wby did be make it impossible for me to
meet bim or why does lie not accept my
proposition' to meet bim in tbe future.
I will meet bim on or off tbe platform in
any way tbat will satisfy his overwhelm
ing conceit and stamp bim once for all as
a charlatan and an incubus upon tbe
labor movement. I had refrained from
showing the villainy of Powderly and
some ottbe officers of tbe Knights of
Labor out of respect for tbe general labor
movement, but I will not miss an oppor
tunity to expose their rascality and
treachery. u iv

Death on the Trail.
Walla Walla Statesman..
We learn tbat Tom Clark was taken with
a sudden fit of frenzy in Florence one day
last week, and that under its influence he
assaulted Pete Tambull and slashed bis
throat and neck with a knife before he was
disarmed and confined. We are further in
formed that be escaped, but was recaptured
and ts now kept in close confinement nntil
he is rational again. Urangeville, IdaJio,
Free Press.
- Wednesday afternoon Little George
Shearer arrived here with the dead body of
Tom Clark. He bad expressed a desire to
come out to Grangeville, and so he was ac
companied out by little George and a young
man named Dycer. They camped Tuesday
night at Adams' camp and deceased took
nothing for supper bat a cup of tea. At
breakfast he drank more tea and ate a
cracker, ne complained of feeling weak,
but insisted on continuing tbe trip.although
George desired to remain in campdlTtil he
felt better. So weak was he that be had to
be tied into the saddle. ' Thus the little
procession continued its . way over tbe
lonely Melnor, trail, Dycer in front and
Shearer following next and leading the
horse upon which poor Tom was mounted
and riding to his death. At Dead Hone
spring he seemed conscious of the locality
and asked. for water, lot tbe spring was
dry and it was impossible to gratify him.
A little further on George looked around
and noticing that bis hands had relaxed
their srasp on tbe bridle be anticipated
something wrong and bailed Dycer, who
was ahead. Upon approaching their patient
they round him dead. Lashing him more
securely in the saddle they hurried forward
with their melancholy burden to Graoge
ville, where Coroner Bibby empaneled a
jury and -proceeded to bold an inquisition
over the remains, and after hearing the evi
dence as recited above, the jury returned a
veidict of death from heart trouble.
Thus died poor Tom Clark, a pioneer of
the Florence basin, a participant in the
eventful incidents which characterized the
history of tbat camp, aod one of its few
faithful old standbya.
Assaulted A GirL
A sensation was caused in Sprague a few
days since by the arrest of Warren Witcber,
a prominent stockholder, for a criminal
assault upon a young girl named Amy
Esterbrook,. aged 18 yesrs. The Walla
Walla Statesman gives the following partic
ular: It seems tbat Miss Esterbrook got in
to a buggy with Mr. Witcher at her father's
plaoe for the purpose of going into the city,
she being employed by the family as a com
panion for tbe children, and that when
within a short distance of the city, Witcher
made indecent proposals to tbe girl, which
she resented. JampiDg from the baggy, she
started to run. Witcber also sot oat of the
baggy and followed ber, and npon over
taking her threw her to the ground.
Arthur James, who claims to bave caught
hfm in tbe act, tells tbe following story: "I
was coming' into town this morning in com
pany with another man, in a .wagon, and
when within a mile aod a half we saw per
sons straggling on the ground by the road
aide. I thought they were righting, and re
marked to my companion tbat two men
were fighting, and that we would wait and
see which came out best. A moment later
one of them started to run, and the other,
who, much to my surprise, proved to be a
woman, straggled to her feet as if in a
dazed condition. Taking in the situation at
once, we -both rushed toward her, and as
soon as we got within speaking distance
aBked: "Amy, what is the matter?"
'She replied with a shriek: 'Tbat man;
keep him away.' "
Witcher was arrested and is in jail at
Sprague awaiting examination. He has
many friends who think be has done noth
ing criminal, and that he will come out all
right. ;. ' ; ". : '

Fossil Journal: Early Thursday morning
of last week a man came to widow Leslie's
place near the head of Hoover creek, four
miles northeast of Fossil, and told Johnnie
Leslie that be was a new settler on Lower
Butte creek; that he had gone into the tim
ber the evening before with a 4-horse team
tor a load of wood, and that during the
night his horses got away. He then asked
young Leslie for the loan of a horse and
saddle to hunt them up. The request was
granted and tbe stranger rode off Leslie's
brown saddle horse, and took Leslie's saddle
and bridle. Not returning that day, Leslie
got UDeasy and came to town. Here he
learned that the fellow who took his horso
had lied to him about having a ranch and
team; that be was a young dead beat who
had been about town about three days and
bad given nearly every man in town a differ
ent account of himself. Two different par
ties had also met bim traveling toward Lone
Rock the day he borrowed the horse. . Ac
cordingly a warrant was issued for him, aud

Most of the older cltizeas, especially
tbose who live in the Spring Creek, 'and
Block House neighborhoods will remem
ber Mike O'Neal who n sided with his
family in tbis county some seven or eight
years ago. Mike's wife, who was a
daughter of Mr. B. J. Gaoo, who is well
known throughout the county, was com
pelled through constant abuse to leave
her husband, snd about three weeks ago
arrived with her twocbildreu from Doug
las, in tbe Big Bend conutry, where they
had resided for a number of years, and
where tbey owned a good farm and had
accumulated some' live stock. Mike was
a dissipated wretch before he left here
and-had tbe reputation of occasionally
giving his wifu a drubbing, but she clung
to him through it all, and of course be
grew no better, and as time rolled on bis
abnse grew more frequent and severe
nntil finally the little woman, who is but
a mere shadow ot her former self, couia
stand it no longer. She took the two
children, therefore, and came to the home
of ber parents in this county.
The next evening after Mrs. O'Neal
started awsy, his body was found
stretched out in tbe bouse dead, he having
taken laudanum. Tbe justice of the
peace held an inquest over the remains
and wrote to Mrs. O'Neal, but on account
of some mistake in the address, she did
not get tbe news for some days, and even
then there wa a suspicion tbat it might
possibly be a ruse to get ber back again.
On last Sundsy, however, a gentleman
camo to Goldendale from Douglas, con
firming tbe statement.
Two hundred and eighty-nine dollars
in money was found on the body and it is
said that a good farm and some other
property awaits the arrival of the widow.
We are constrained to both sympathize
with and congratulate tbe poor woman in
the final termination of ber unfortunate
alliance.
Oregon Weather Bulletin for Hay 1890.
PORTLAND, UB., alune lO, 1BVU.
The cool weather of the past five months
waa broken on April 20th, and warmer
weather continued daring May, giving to
the month one of the highest mean temper
atures on record. The changes in tempera
tore were sudden and quite severe. On
23 tb, 29th and 30th a cool period was ex
perienced that waa accompanied by light
frosts in Western Oregon which slightly
damaged tender vines, and ia Eastern On
gon did considerable damage, even cereals
being injured. This frost waa one of the
latest on record. Temperatures of 90 deg.
or more occurred at Grant's Pass and in
Umatilla county on the 6th and 25tb.
Freezing temperatures occurred east snd
south of the Blue mountains on 28th. 29th
snd 30:h. Highest temperature 98 degrees
at Grant's Pass on 25th; lowest 24 degrees
at North Powder and Burns an 26th, 27th
and 30th. Highest mean 63.4 degrees at
Hood River; lowest, 52.9 degrees at Joseph.
Tbe average precipitation, 1.65 inches, is
one below the normal. La Grande reports
3.24 inches, the highest monthly total, and
Hood River .19 inches tbe lowest. Rain
fell on from three to eight days; snow fell
in the higher altitudes on 28th, 29th and
30th. Thunder storms with bail and rain
are reported from nine stations.
Tbe prevailing direction of the wind is
northwest. Tha winds were generally
light; too fresh in velocity. No storms are
reported. B. S. Pag era,

During tbe last storm of the past winter
Luther Claypool turned 250 bead of cattle
on the Agency plains. Last week he fin
ished gathering and thinks his loss will not
exceed 60 bead.
Milt Hayworth received a letter dated on
the 15th saying his mother, Mrs. Brodeur,
was dangerously ill at her home in Portland.
Mrs. Brodeur is well known here and ber
many friends hope to hea- of her speedy
recovery.
Last Wednesday, Harry, eight-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Pitser ot Willow
creek, was thrown from a horse and had his
right arm broken. Dr. Belknap reduced
the fracture and at last accounts tbe boy
waa getting along nicely.
Dr. Chas. Adams arrived here Thursday
evening from The Dalles and left yesterday
for Beaver to look after the gathering of a
band of horses which he intends- shipping
east this season. Last summer the doctor
made a shipment of bones to Illinois, and '
he will make a larger shipment this year.
The number of calves branded by some '
of the leading cattle raisers of the county
this season as compared with what they
branded in the spring ride last year, is af
fair illustration of how the past winter si- .
fected the cattle business in this county.
In the spring ride last year A. R. Lyle
branded 300 calves and Joe Hinkle 90.
These gentlemen- have just got through
riding and the result of the spring gather-.
ing is 100 calves for Mr. Lyle and 29 for
Mr. Hinkle. Of course they have not lost
such a number of cattle as these figures
would indicate, but tbe severe weather
caused a very short crop of calves this sea
son. They estimate their loss by the win
ter to be between 50 and 60 per cent.
last Thursday morning Miss Etta Wrenn,
teacher of the Willow creek school, was
thrown from her horse and sustained in
juries which are of a most serious nature
though not nccessarially fatal. She had
started on horseback from her home to the
school house, and riding through a narrow
lane, her horse became frightened at a pack
horse that - was ' running away and threw
her. She was some way entangled so that
the horse dragged her for some distance,
striking her bead and body against the
fence, cutting a frightful gash in ber fore
head and one on tbe back of the head, also
straining her neck and badly bruising an
elbow. When found ahe was unconscious,
and it is indeed a wonder ahe was not killed.
Dr. Belknap was called to . attend the in
jured lady and found her in a most critical
condition, though when be left ThursrUy
evening she had regained consciousness and
he though was out pf danger. '

along the coast and in the Willamette val

one quarter to an inch. The average June
rain has now fallen, and any more tbat may
fall will be it) excess, though tbe excess
would yet prove beneficial. If the rains
that have just fallon had fell' four weeks
ago greater good would have resulted. The
rain was, however, very benefioial and was
warmly welcomed by the farmers. Tbe
temperature haa been below and the clouds
above the average; both conditions were
favorable to the crops. While no rain fell
in the Umpqua or Rogue River valleys still
the cool, cloudy weather was beneficial.
Rain in tbese valleys is badly needed.

The Dalles Beats AIL
This city bandies more wool direct
from tbe producer then any city in the
United States. Tbe actual amount of
wool bandied every season is astonishing
to any one not acquainted with tbe facta.
Our warehouses are now crowded to their
full capacity with tbe product, and al
most every hour in tbe day wagons are
being unloaded. Filday there were
about 1100 bales sold to buyers, and the?
price rsnged from 17 to 19 cents. This
is tbe highest paid in any city in the
state, and the reason is tbat buyers from
all portions nf tbe country congregate at
Tbe Dalles, and competition is very live
ly. In 1888 five million pounds ot wool
were bandied by our dealers, and t iis
summer bids fair to equal that sesson.
Sheepmen can always receive from one
to two cents more a pound for their clip
at Tbe Dallea than any otber city, and
is greatly to their advantage to sell heie.
