Sheriff Abernethy today at St. Ignatius
mission arrested the notorious Joe Broth
ers, charged with selling liquor to reser

meet the sheriff and governor as agreed at
the feast of St. Ignatius held fo day at the
mission. There wen? about 500 Indians
present and of all aces, and thirty whites.
Governor Toole and wite were there, and
were interested spectators cf the proceed
incs. The games were very interesting,
and the .playing of tbe Indian boy brass
band attracted much amusement.
A COLD BLOODED CRIME.
: Astoria, Or., Aug. 2. An Oysterville,
Washington, special to the Colnmbian,
Bays: John Edwaris was to-day convicted
of murder in the first degree for the kill
ing of Mrs. Jens F. Fredrickson in Pa-
c,ac county in January. lue jury was
I out but a short time, sending word to the
court at 6 o'clock' to night that the verdict
bad bfea reached. Tue court cooveoed
at 7 o'clock, heard the verdict and dis
charged the jury. Tho counsel for de
fense immediately gave notice of a motion
lor a Dew trial: also a notice tnat the
request for a change of venue in the cases
ot Edward Gibbons and John J. Rose
would be reDewed. Counsel for George
Rose gave notice of a motion for a change
of vene to Montesano. The court set
tne bearing of tue argument en tne
motions lor Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
The verdict was a great surprise to all
as tbe defense was confident ot acquittal,
and bud inspired the spectators with this
belief. . Judge Broombeld's charge, while
able and impartial, was undoubtedly
favorable to the defense, but the jury
seemed thoroughly impressed with tbe
truthfulness of George Rose's confession.
Attorneys say the judge's failure to rule
out the bov'a evidence will result in the
supreme court remanding the case for
new tria,, claiming- the Washington
statutes provide that a co delendant can
not testify in the case unless the charge
against him is first dismissed.
SEATTLE'S BHANTYTOWN,
Seattle, Aug. 2. A force of men has
been cleariug out Shantytown on the bar
bor front during the last two. days. Tbe
properly is owned by A. A. Denny, who
rented it to tenants for a year. Tbe time
expired Thursday and Denny determined
to clear the property, which is now very
valuable. As. fast as tbe tenants are
evicted tbe shanties are torn down.
Several occupants resisted for a time, but
force was not resorted to except in a few
cases. The property will be enclosed by
a fence and improved later. Over 150
families lived in Snantvtown, and until
recently tbev were organized to resist
eviction, but they have disbanded
CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS.
Hannibal, Mo., Aug. 2. A crowded
passenger coach on the St. Louis & Han
nibal railroad was wrecked in a collision
with a switch engine this afternoon. Two
colored men, David Summers and Harry
Letcher, of New London, were killed out
right. Frank Porter, colored, was fatally
injured, and several others were seriously
burt and some painfully bruised. The
engineer of the switch engine, W. Tongall,
was arrested immediately . alter the acci

RUSSIA'S RULER BAOES.
St. Petersburo, Aug. 3. Danger of
serious trouble in the east of Europe
seems to be somewhat increased by tbe
recent occurrences io Constantinople and
the action of England in pursuadiug the
sultan to grant berettas of investiture to
the Bulgarian bishops in Macedonia. The
czar is astonished and greatly excited
over the pone's defiance of the St. Peters
burg government and its utter disregard
of .Kursia's protest against this course.
Advices which were received here from
M. NelidofF, tbe Russian ambassador at
Constantinople, led tbe czar to believe
that the sultan would submit to bis ad
monitions. Tbe czar, nowever, visits all
the blame of tbe sultan's cavalier treat
ment upon his diplomatic representative.
11. JSelidotl lelt stamboul tor bebasto
pol last night. He goes away, ostensibly
on a holiday, but it is well understood
here that be really is UDder the ban of
the czar, who bas lost all confidence in
him. The czar has openly in tne court
circle complained of, what be calls, Nell-
doffs deception, and be added, with
every show ot rage and distrust: '1
cannot rely on a single one of my diplo
mats. They all lie. Tbey always prom
ise, but never fulfill, their promises."
The absence of tbe Russian envoy from
Stamboul, at this time, implies that there
will be considerable delay in the action
of Russia in this peculiar crisis, so that
no immediate complications are to be
looked for.
INDIAN KILLED BY A RANCHER.
Port Townsend, Aug 3. Charles
Carlson, a Scandinavian ranchman, resid
ing at Whisky Spit, about twenty-eight
miles from this city," walked into town, at
5 o'clock this morning, and, going up to
a police officer, Harry Stone, requested
tbat he be placed under arrest. Stone,
surprisingly, wanted to know wby Carl
son wished to be locked up, and the
latter informed him that he had, between
12 and 1 o'block Saturday afternoon, shot
and killed an Indian. In telling the
story, Carlson said be was working about
bis place wben a canoe load of Indians
rowed up. They landed and one, who
appeared to be the leader of the party,
asked him what (Carlson) would give for
a good looking kluocbman. . Carlson says
be told tbe natives he had no use for such
a piece of property. The Indians then
became angry and one of them picked up
an ax lying close by. Carlson then fired,
killing the red man. He bad walked tbe
distance to this city and was iu a sorry
plight when be reached here. He bad on
a new pair of shoes without socks, and
bis feet were in a horrible condition. It
being Sunday, and tbe telegraph offices
at both Port Blakely and Port Madison
being closed, no word could be had from
tbe scene ot tbe crime. Officers here do
not, however, take much stock in Carl
son's story. He is now In tbe county jail.
Coroner Wychoff will probably go to tbe
scene for tne purpose of holding an ' in
quest to-morrow. "
: A DRUNKEN YOUTH DROWSED. "
Seattle, Aug 3. Harry Shakespeare
a boilermaker employed at Moran Bros.'
foundry, fell into the bay at tbe junction
of Commercial and Plummsr streets this
morning. He had spent the night in
drinking, and started for his room in tbe
Dry Dock lodging-house shortly- before
3 o'clock. He was very drunk when last
seen, and waj staggering on to the
appioacb on tbe Commercial street ex
tension, about a block trom where he was
drowned. It is supposed thai he stag
gered oil and fell into tbe water, and was
drowned without making a cry for be'p
1'eople in the bouse near by beard
splash, but no outcry. When the tide
ebbed this morning the bodv was left ex
posed, and tbe drowning was discovered,
bbakespeare was tbe sod of th post
uiasrer at Victoria, and was 21 years

EUROPEAN WAR RUMORS.
ot
Berlin, Aug. 3. Prince Bi?inarck'i
newspaper organ, the Hamburger Nach-
ridden, asserts that General Count Von
Waldersee and other eminent and well
koowo persons in the entourage of Kaiser
Wilbelm, arc stroDgly urging upon the
kaUer their belief that both the time and
the situatbon of European affairs are now
opportune for tbe consummation of
corabiued a'.tack by the powers of the
triple alliance, together with Tnrkiy and
Bulgaria, upon Kussia. Count Von Wal
dersee instantly wired to tbe newspapers
a nil denial ot tbe assertion ot tbe Audi
richten, but the latter maintains the truth
ot m statemeut and declares tbat such
scheme of co-operation is really advised
oy the Waldersee circle.
I'nnce Bismarck, who is understood to
have inspired the statements ot tbe 2?ach-
richten, would be prompted to divulge
such information as this, if be possessed
it, by bis geueral idea that friendship
with Russia is the best policy for Ger
many. Bismarck also hate? Waldersee
and his set. ThU much, at least, is cer
tain, that Kaiser Wilbelm will adhere to
a policy of peace, pending bis coming in
terview with the czir, whatever course he
may choose to take after that; so there
is no immediate danger of warlike dem
onstrations.

London, Aug. 3. A dispatch from
Bueuos Ayres to tbe TVmcssavs: At a
meeting of the Celmauite senators and
deputies to-day, it was decided tbey con
tinue to give the president firm support.
It is reported the cabinet bas decided
in favor of forced currency, and that an
endeavor will be made to stop gambling
in gold exchange and currency. Major
Paima, whom President Seima denounced
as an informer and military conspirator,
is dead. It is asserted he was poisoned.
Tbe press is completely gagged.
A TRAMP ASSAULTS A PRIEST.
Racine, Wis., Aug. 3. Dragged
through the streets with a rope about bis
neck, which threatened to cut off his ex
istence,- in tbs bands of a frenzied mob,
Adam You up-, of Emhiittville, Ind.. a
professional tramp, bad a narrow escape,
to-day, from lynching. Tbe cause of
Young's rough treatment wa3 a brutal
assutt made upon tbe Rev. Father Fess
ler, of St. Joseph's Catholic church, at
the borne of tbe clergyman about noon
to day. Young went to tbe door of the
priest's borne and demanded something
to eat. Belore Father Fessler could j
dodge, the tramp, for reasons unknown,
struck bim on tbe neck. The priest ran
out of tbe iack door with Young iu pur
suit. Tbe clergyman was overtaken by
bis assailant, knocked down, pounded in
tbe face, and had his nose smashed. By
this time a crowd bad congregated. Some
one shouted, "bang tbe brute;" a rope
was placed around the neck of tbe tramp,
and but ior the timely arrival of police
men be would bave been dabgliog in the
air trom - a large tree near by. Young
was placed in jail.
BAD REDSKINS IN JAIL.
Butte, Montana, Aug. 4. A special to
the Miner, from Missoula says that Sheriff
Houston returned at six o'clock this
evening from a trip into the Flathead
country for tbe purpose ot capturing tbe
murderers of a white man at Angel Hiil
last spriBg. They belonged to tho Koot
enai tribe of flatueads, whose chief, Enos,
has refused to deliver them up. The
settlers in the Flathead country feel that
their eafety demanded prompt measure to
capture the murderers, and Sheriff Hous
ton left Missoula last Thursday night for
tbat region, determined to bring in the
redskins wanted. He had a posse of
picked men witb ' bim. On arriving at
Demersville he, in conjunction with Dep
uty United States Marshal Grant, organ
ized a posse of sixty men.
On Saturday evening tbe band set out
and rode all night to tbe camp 'of Chief
Enos, ou the reservation, reaching it in
the morning. Surrounding it tbey de
manded the murderers.' Tbe display of
force and the determination of the sheriff
overawed Enos and the result was tbat
Pascale, one of the, murderers, ws
brought in .and' placed in irons. Pro
ceediog further, Antes, another murderer,
was. captured near Ravalli.'. Wi liams.
the third Indian wanted, was captured &
bis brother's house, in tbe same neigh
borhood. There are two more Indians
wanted for tbe murder, and as soon as the
three were ' brought to Missoula and
placed in jail Sheriff Houston started
back to tbe Flathead reservation for the
capture of the remainder of tbe gang.
The Indians brought in are a most vil
lainous looking trio. Pascale is lamn
Indian, about 40 years old, witb a snaky
eye and a very dark red skin. Antes is
tbe least repulsive of tbe trio. Williams
is over six feet tall and very stout.
' STIRBINO UP TnE CENSUS BUREAU.
Washington, Aug. 4 Senators Mit
cbell and Dolph to-day went to tbe cen
sus office and presented a request for an
entire recount ot tbe state of Oregon. It
was represented that tbe increase in tbe
past ten years by all other statistics
showed tbat the population was much
greater than tbe returns ot tbe present
census indicated, acd that tbe people of
Oregon universally believed tbat the cen
sus bad been very inefficient. Superin
tendent Porter telegraphed Supervisors
Kelly and Strange to report at once upon
the-situatiou and furnish information if
or not tbe recount is demanded by any
considerable portion of tbe people of Ore
goo, some details as to tbe basis of tbe
demand and bow far tbe demand of tbe
people is justified by fact and such other
details as will give tbe office the most
mplete information on the subject.
The superintendent also telegraphed
Special Agent Kruze, now at Minneapo
lis, to turnisn sucb additional information
regarding the' situation In Oregon as be
may bave. the census . omuials do not
incline toward a recount, because there
are, no doubt, other states who would
join in a like demand.and tbe census peo
ple would bnd themselves in a whirlpool
of discontent and congressional pressure,
which would make lite burdensome to
them.
Recent developments by a St. Paul
committee investigating the charges of
fraud against tbat city sbow tbe inoat
bungling and incompetent work by cen
sus omce employes regarding that city,
which tends to show that there bas been
a great deal of botch work done by the
census bureau. .
" A TERRIFIC HAILSTORM.
' New Richmond, Minn., Aug. - 3. A
most terrific wind and hailstorm visited
this section this afternoon.. The windows
on tbe west and north side of buildings in
the village, and for miles to either side in
the country, are broken. Tbe storm was
about forty miles wide and ten miles
long. All nncut grain in its path is a total
loss. 106 loss is estimated trom $70,000
to $150,000. Hogs were killed and hun
dreds of chickens perished. In some in
stances pieces of ice were driven with
such force as to pierce through tbe roots
of buildmgs.
Winona, Minn., Aug. 3. A heavy
wind storm struck this City this afternoon

-, '" . Our Columbia.
r The Dalles, Aug. 4, 1800.
Editor TuES-MocXTAisEaR: -
Tbe Columbia opposite this city is an his
toric stream. In 1820 when tbe Hudson
Bay post was established bere tbe batteaux
of the Canadian yoyageurs shot the rapids
and hid their wealth of furs at the feet of
tbe managers. The broad bosom of the
river was then furrowed by. the rythmic
stroke of the oar of the happy boatmen,
and during certain seasoned the year large
bands of Iadians congregated on the banks
and sang their dirges in their wild, savage
style.'. Tbe Dalles was then the mart of
trade for the Indians of the northwest, and
tbe waters of the river were the sportive
place of canoes. Still later on, when the
Hudson's bay fort was forced to be aban
doned on account of Indian hostilities the
river still held its sway as the great com
mercial outlet of the northwest. Then
came the era of civilization, when steam
propelled ' craft through its limpid
current, and tbeie burdened with produce
found their way to seaboaid. It is
nighty, gigantic stream, the peer of any oq
tbe western hemisphere, and "should be the
the means of communication of the interior
with the seaboard. While cogitating on
these, remiseences, I think on Tbe Dalles
with its many natural advantages, and how
absolutely dead it has been to all its oppor-
tUDities If enterprise or business pluck had
been exerted, the grand old Columbia tbe
father of waters on the western side of the
hemisphere would have long ago resounded
to the whistle of opposition steamboats,
and tbe produce of this garden spot of the
Inland Empire would bave floated onward
to the sea, unimpeded by any railroad cor
poration. I am glad tbe shops have been
taken away from this city, and won'.d be
happy if every board were removed from
tbe buildings. Then, and not till then,
will this point, the gateway of the interior
northwest, awaken to a realization of its
advantages, - and battle manfully for the
commercial supremacy of the northwest.
Rivers bave been the arteries of commerce
during the past and will be for the future.
No country can advance without it has a
highway to tbe ocean, and Eastern Oregon
has the most magnificent stream for this
purpose on the western continent. The
only trouble is that some of our merchants
are afraid of the railroad company, and
others bave not the necessary gnt to make
any forward movement. In fifty years
from date, when the present capitalists
shall have slumbered in the dust, this city
impelled by new and young blood will
take a stride forward, and not till then, Mr.
Editor, when yon and I will be numbered
with the "clods of tbe valley," will tbe edi
torials yon have written on the subject be
appreciated. Without any intention at
flattery, 1 can assure you the bound files of
the TiMKS-MouKTAiNEERwiil be more eager
ly sought fifty J ears from hence than the
daily isvae is to-day. Yon haye done a noble
work for the future, and, although I may
not live to see the day, my children will
when the great Columbia of the . west will
float to seaboard the commerce of an em
pire, nn quailed in extent and richness by
any country on tbe face of the globe. The
present and past partake of the atmosphere
of tne graveyard; the future is made lumi
nous and bright by tbe promises of enter- -prise
and energy. r Nostra."
