Mr. Fred. Lerake returned this morning
from the place where his family are en
camped on Wind river. He says The
Dalles people arc enjoying themselves in
their camp. The purest air is breathed,
the clearest water drank and health is as-
' sured. They will remain for two or three
weeks longer, and then return home.
This morning Mr. Fred Drews, who
has about seventy chickens in his yard
on the bluff near the Independent Acad
emy, louna about sixty dead. He does
not know the cause, and would willingly
allow any examination by an expert. It'
it is chicken cholera which has decimated

This is the way the generous and hos
pitable Astorians welcome the editorial
association, "as copied from the Aslorian:
"The editors of Oregon will be with ns
on the aSth, 29th and 80th. Astoria can
stand a good many good things being
taid about her, and the newspaper men ot
Oregon will be made welcome. It will
- be a pleasant vacation for many hard
working men, to whom vacations don't
often come, and it will be for our citizens
to so arrange that their visit here will be
an occasion of pleasure to all who come."
Friday morning at about 9 o'clock two
prisoners escaped from the county jail al
North Yakima by removing a sufficient
number of bricks from the wall. They
were confined on charges ot petty larceny
and selling liquor to the Indians respect
ively. The escape was discovered about
one hour afterward. That their sense of
humor had not been destroyed by long
confinement was evinced by the following
message to the sheriff found pinned to
the wall : "Excuse haste and a bad pen,
Clark and Slim." .Jail breaks are becom
ing frequent there, the jail being in such
a condition as to offer no impediment to
escape.
The ice-caves which are seen near Tront
. lake are well worthy of investigation .by
scientists. They are on a level prairie ano
after being entered widen ont into most
capacious chambers, with the most beauti
ful stalactites forming the ceiling. Prof
Condon, in one of his lectures in The
Dalles, advocated the theory that these
cayes were former channels through which
flowed molten lava from the active volcano
of Mt. Adams, and, the mountain becoming
inacti.. these holes fotmed cavities
through which passed cool breezes from the
. snow fields of Adams. As a matter of
coarse these would congeal all the moisture
in the neighborhood until the layer of ice
became thick and solid.
From Thursday's Dally.
The weather is delightful.
Mr. D. M. Hastings, of Portland, came
up last night. .
Mr. G. W. Townsend, of Louisville, Ky.,
is stopping at the Umatilla House.
Mr. Allen Grant and Mr. P. Brogan, of
Antelope, are in the city to-day.
Mr. O. P. Mason, editor of the New
Northwest, of Portland, is in the city.
. The street sprinkler still does its duty,
'-anCtba thoroughfares sre well moistened.
The farmers are happy. Crops are boun
tiful, and the price of wheat is ranging up
ward.
Mr. A. Urquhart and family will leave in
two or three days for a camping tour at the
Meadows
Mr. C. E. Wilson, who has been visiting
friends at Dallas, Polk county, returned
last evening.
Tonrists visit the city almost daily, and
these hail from nearly every ptate in (he
Union. By such means our capabilities
become known all over the country.
Mr W. S. Myers showed us two peaches
this morning whicn were as large and lus
cious as any we have seen this year. They
were raised in his garden in this city.
. Two hoboes were marched' to the city
'jail last night. They are eujoying all the
comforts possible in the lock-up, and ap
pear perfectly happy nnder the circum
stances. Very few of our citizens who have been
' visiting summer resorts have returned, lhe
atmosphere is still uncomfortably warm,
cannot expect their return -until
Mr. McGinty informs ns that it is impos
sible to get men to work on the reservoir.
He has about six employed now and could
give work to ten. The pipe is being laid
as rapidly as possible.
. Jack Jones tells the editor of the Walla
Walla Union Journal that the wheat fields
in the vicinity of Blue Mountain station,
lying between Dry creek and Pine creek in
Umatilla county, are averaging between 40
and 50 bushels an acre.
Tne board of immigration, for the car
Oregon on Wheels, under the management
of Mr. Ingalls, is reeeiving some fine speci
mens of fruits and grain from this vicinity.
For fruits and vegetables The Dalles region
has great natural advantages; in fact, it is
unexcelled anywhere.
Prineyille Review: Everything at the
Deschutes brewery is now in shipshape or
der. The new brewer is makine lots of
beer, and of a iirst-clacs quality. As to the
quality we are able to vouch, for the pro
prietor, Mr. Woods, donated to this odice a
sample keg, which is good enough to satisfy
any connoisseur.
Baker Reveille: The discovery of gold on
Soldier creek four miles west of Harney,
consisting of quartz and placer bids fair to
create a little feyer, for it is now evident
that there is gold to be found in paing
quantities. Miners of experience say the
---placers will pay $10 or $12 per day aud ex
penses to the man by sluicing.
Artesian water that has a daily flow of
250,000 gallons and rises 40 lect in the air
was struck io the North Yakima country
last week, at a depth of 400 tcet. The peo
ple up there think they haye solved the
problem of irrigation for hundreds of thou
sands of acres of land, practically valueless
without water for anything except pasture.
The Yamhill hop growers haye determined
to organize st once, in order to prevent the
secret agents of the Puyallup yards from
seducing their Indians. Great hardship
was worked in Yakima last year by this
course of the outside hop growers; besides,
the Indians were loaded up with bad whis
kv, snd returned in a demoralized condi
tion. ' Thomas Coffman was killed and Charles
McFadden seriously hurt on Thursday near
Colfax. Toey were ranchers, and were re
turning home under the influence of liquor.
Near home the brake broke, the team be
came nnmaoageabie and the men were
thrown nnder a wagon heayily loaded.
McFaddeo's limbs and breast were crashed
so badly that recovery is doubtful.
- We received a box of apples this after
noon from the orchard of McDonald Bros,
on Chenoweth creek that were the Guest
. we have ever seen. Some of these apples
weigh 2 pounds and measure 16 inches in
circumference. The Pacific coast can be
challenged to furniah as fine fruit - these,
ami we doubt n any country can equal
them.

little Kobbie Crazier, stepson ot Mr. V. J

It is a pity that, with so rnany able-
bodied tramps daily begging for food from
bouse to house, men cannot be found to
work on the new reservoir. When the
tramp nuisance developes to the extent of
becoming an evil, and it is fast approaching
that state ot affairs, the American people
will look fur relief to legislation of some
sort. It is a sad commentary upon tne
tree institutions of learning and unequalled
freedom of thought, speecli-ftnd action per
I of thought, 8pegjuand action pel

East Oreaoniaru Over a month ago a fel
low who gave bis name as George S. Smith
aud claimed to represent S'narplesa, Cole &
Co., of Philadelphia, visited Pendleton.
He was a nice young man, of easy address
and unlimited fund of talk. , who had a flo
rid complexion and woie a sandy mus
tache. Mr. Smith gave one lady milliner
in this city the sole agency tor his firm's
ladies' furnishing goods, and another- lady
milliner the. sole agency for tne sale of
Demorest's paper patterns, taking orders
from each. He took no money in advance
for the goods, but he did for the show
case?, wliicn ne agreed to lurnisn, one
voune lady paying him 10 and the otber
$15, he agreeing by written contract to de
liver the goods and show-cases within
twenty days. They haye not come. Smith,
or whatever name be chooses to travel nu'-
ler, is a bilk cf the first water. It has
been learned by victims that there is no
such firm as Sbarpless, Cole & Co. in Phila-
elphia, although there is some party there
who receives telegrams, with this address,
one having been sent from Pendleton which
was not returned. He is DiiKing every
lady possihle in the country and tliould be
exposed by tbo press. Pass him around.

Guard: The finances of tbe university are
in a flourishing condition. By the reports
pnblwhed the total receipts lor last year
mount to Z27,DJb 12: total disbursements,
$26,368.20 leaing a balance on hand June
30, 1891, of $2627 92. The report from
the land fund shows a gain ot 4w8l4.y4 dur

Gibson treated the boys in a royal manner,
and the popping of champagne bottles con
tinued for several hours.
There seems to be considera ble competi
tion in Marion connty among three of its
cities. It is evident Woodbarn thinks she
in the lead from the following: Last
year Gervais school district received $220.40;
this year $213 15. Last year SUverton re
ceived $3X4 95; this year $432.10. Last
year Woodburn received $337. 85; this year
$439.45. Silverton lias increased $97.15,
and Woodburn has increased $98.60.
The beach at the foot of Court street has
been used for some time past as a dumping
place for garbage. Usually the June freshet
carries this away; but this season the water
was not sumciently high to remove this
rubbish, and it has become a nuisance, en-
angering the health of tbe city. Our
council should pass an ordinance forbidding
the damping of filth in this locality, and by
this means would perhaps prevent the
pread of contagion in tbe neighborhood.
Goldendale Sentinel: It la not improbable
that before very long some one will try bor
ing for an artesian well in some of tbo dry
pots hereabouts and find it so successful
that we shall see the now barren spots blos
som forth in the verdure of spring We
ave got the land and plenty of it; but
need water to make it teem forth its wealth
in fruit and grain. Who will be tbe first?
Goldendale Sentinel: There is a bank of
clay near the city which would make glad
the heart of an earthenware burner. In
conversation with Mr. Jos. Nesbitt, the
Sentinel reporter learned that this clay
tamped in the water ditch through rocky
places, makes it as tight as cement and
about as durable. What aboct some enter
prising citizen starting an earthenware es
tablishment? We are satisfied that such an
enterprise would pay.
The matter of the Oregon Pacific's in
debtedness to the employes was presented
to the circuit court at Corvallis Tuesday,
Judge M. L. Pipes presiding. Attorney
General Chamberlain and Hon. J. K.
Weatberford appeared for the employes.
The order of the court was that the indebt
edness be paid by August 31st. the receiver
being authorized to negotiate his certificate
for tne purpose. Col. Hogg will either have
to liquidate or show good cause for not do
ing so. It is to be boped be does the
former, and then keep it up monthly,
" Mr. Thomas A. Sutherland, editor of the
Sunday Welcome, was drowned in the Will
amette river lost evening, at the landing of
the Stark street ferry-boat. He was en
route to his home in Albina, and ran down
the inclincjto jump on the boat. He could
lisiup iiiiumjir, and.as he post pulled out
tl in tne -water and drowned before be
rescued. Mr.- Sutherland was a
ftt Harvard, and has for many
inneoted with the ureas of tha
5 brilliant writnr nnit
man ot the most generous impulses. H
birthplace was California, in 1S50, and he
had the honor ot being tne nrsi wmie cnuu
born in that state.
Teleiiram: Deputy Coroner Kieger was
unsuccessful yesterday in his efforts to find
the body ot Otto Noyotny. supposed to
have been drowned off tbe logs at Smith
Bros, sawmill on Tuesday evening. The
uncertainty as to the exact place at which
the little fellow disappeared made tbe task
more difficult. The water is but fifteen
feet deep below where he was last seen,
and had he fallen in at that point, there
would have beeS no difficulty to locate bun.
Mr. ftieeer thinks' he must have gone to
another part of the boom of logs and
slipped off.
A citizen of Goldendale has invented
car-coupler and the Sentinel is very enthu
siastic in its praise. The only trouble with
ear-couplers is that, so-far, it has been lm
possible to use them, for no matter how
meritorous has been the invention, 'they
could not be applied unless traffic was si'
mnltaneonaly suspended all over the United
States long enough to thinge them, ine
reason is apparent. A freight car - must
acccommodate itself to coupling to all roads
in the United States, and to. this end all
must be uniform. That the coupling now
in use is very primitive all will agree, but
like lorn in v 8 too. it cot started that way.
and canuot easily be remedied. The $en-
tmel need no longer suppose that inventive
genius basv-stepped lust suort ot tne car'
coupler, for nearly ajajra. - thousand patents
bave been granted far tun article of dfech
anisin, but, unless trau&is saspenaed ior a
tumcieni.time to change alfxars irr use at

- "Oregon on Wheels."
The personal canvass of the fruit growers
and farmers of this section by Mr. G. W.
Ingalls for the "Oregon on Wheels" exhibit
is completed. We are glad to learn from
Mr. Ingalls that nearly every one vUited
has promised to - contribute some specimens
of products.
Andrew Urquhart, on Mill creek, brought
in to-day a lot of fine egg plums, also the
largest nectarines probably eyer produced
in Oregon. They will average seven inches
in circumference. Mr. Urquhart. also
brought in some very fine specimens of pet
rified cottonwood and oak.
Mr. Wilson, of Mill creek, brought in a
lot of superior Colambia and .Bradshaw
plums, and also Yellow Crawford and Min
nesota peaches.
Mr. Carl Burchtorff contributes a half box
of Queen of the West free-stone peaches,
many of which were eleven ounces and
measured eleven inches in oircumference.
Mrs. W. E. Rinebart, of this city, con
tributed to-day the product of one bill of
Eatly Rose potatoes, which was thirteen
pounds and nine ounces. Some of them
were ten inches long and nine inches in cir
cumference. "Ladies' Adjnstible Shoe."
For reasons not yet explained-, very
few improvements have been made in
tbe line of footwear, saye in regard to
shape and style. Attempts have been
made to make boots and shoes more
comfortable, vet not much was accom
plished until "Ladies Adjustible Shoes"
were invented aud put upon 'tbe market.
Fvi over three years these self-adjustable
shoes bave been tbe delight ot ladies in
eastern states. Most of tbe merits of
these popular shoes are apparent at sight.
They are the only self adjustable shoes
made instantly conform to tbe shape of
the foot, fit like a glove and wear like
steel. They are a blessing to those with
tender feet, are recemmeuded by physi
cians wherever known, wear longer and
ate more stylish and neat. Not heavier
than ordinary first-class shoes, they-retain
their original shape, and do not
spread or ciack. Quality and merit
considered,' they cost lees than any otber
make. They are sold direct by manu
facturers, agents and assistants. -'.
Mr. H. Stoneman, boot and shoe-maker
in this city, will take orders for the "La
dies Adjustable SSioeb" and deliver them
promptly. 21

MAIL J3AGKS THROWN OUT
The Canyon City Stage Eobbed Near
the Deschutes BridgeIndians on
the Trail and Dalles Officers
; Aliye to the Emergency.
Wedesday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, the
stage which left tms city early in tbe
morning was held np about three miles east
of the bridge across the Deschutes by
masked man, who leveled a Winchester
rifle at the driver and ' demanded the mail
sacks. The particulars, as far ascak.be
learned, are as follows:
The stage left Mr. Sherar's house after
dinner and was leisurely proceeding up the
hill, and when near the spring, about two
miles from the summit, a robber jumped
oat from an ambush, and, ' presenting a
rifle, demanded the government mail. Of
cqBase. the driver was somewhat alarmed
and tlffew oat the sacks, as demanded.
After receiving these the fellow inquired
wiiQ were those behind the stage, aud was
told fciV were teamsters. The robber was
masked, baying a portion of an oatmeal
sack jyith eye-holes cut in it, through
ajbuld see what to do. He told
drg Jxo g on and not look behind at
thceru of his life. Mr. Adams, as any
one else would have done under the circum
stances, drove rapidly onv to J.he next sta
tion.. Before he arrived at xSikeoven be
met parties from Antelope, and. -tliey ex
amined the place where the robbery was
committed and found two sacks cut opei
but tbe otber three were missing. '
also found two masks, signifying Jfcat
was more than ; one man' cojifflp.
affray. Undoubtedly tjierrf aDV
only one showed- himself ajF4J f
mail - sj while tiga otL- Sto
lend his aiffvsane of an emergency.
As soon as information was given,, twe
Indians, well armed, were started on the
track . of the mail robbejs, and as they
were on the trail it is vei-y likely they will
be overhauled. The authorities in
have also taken energetic measures
ture the criminal or criminals.
It is yery strange that adepts should
waylay thatgoing 8ta$, as there is very
rarely any money, at this season of tbe
year, transmitted through the mails. If it
had been the incoming stage, there Would
have been checks and registered letters, to
reimburse the robbers; but, as it was, there
is very little loss to the government or in-
ividuals. This is the first time, for a long
number of years, that any attempt has
been made to rob a stage running from this
city to interior towns, and such an event
may not happen again in long years to
come.
It is to be hoped that these villains will
be captured and will receive the punish
ment provided in the statutes.
They Break Jail.
Baker City Blade- At about 8 o'clock
last evening our city was thrown into great
excitement, caused by tbe escape from the
county jail of three prisoners. Travillion,
the jailer, on going in to lock the prisoners
in their cells, first discovered a large hole
in the wall on the west end of the building
near where the previous attempt was made.
Three of the men were gone and the re
maining prisoners could have also made
their escape if they bad so desired.'
The sheriff was immediately notified and
started in pnrsuit with his deputies and
luut ble lantis. A uihgent search is
beng made, and will no doubt result in the
capture of at least part of the fugitives be
fore the day is oyer.
lhe instruments used in making tbe es
cape consists ot one case fcoile and two
small wrenches, all of which are very small
with which to cut through a good brick
all. It is thought by some that the pris
oners" were assisted by some one on the out
side. There is a report tnat Constable Yantis
and Kinnison overhauled the men at Haines,
but after firing two or three shots after
them had to let tbem go.
bneritf Uonde and Deputy iunnison start
ed out again this afternoon, and will, if
possible, bring with them on their return
suliivan, Cooper and Belmont, the fugi
tives. This is the second attempt made within a
few weeks, and it ia to be regretted that it
baa proved so successful for the prisoners,
who had yet some time to serve for the
crime of burglary and gambling.
Ascent of Mt. Adams.
Drs.Jv". E. Rinebart and O. D. Doane
and Sheriff Gates, Judge Thornbury, R.
G. Closter, 1, 1. Rurgett and his boy and
dog started last Friday for a trip to Trout
lake and the ice caves. They returned
last night, having had a very pleasurable
trip. Dr. Rinebart and young Stroller
reached the summit of Mt. Adams, but
the others would not make the ascent.
The doctor describes it as inexpressibly
grand from the summit, and tbo ascent
very perilous. For several hundred feet
be was forced to climb on hard snow at
an angle of 45 degrees, cutting places for
his hands and feet. When within 150
feet of the highest altitude his hands be
came numb as if frozen, and it seemed
impossible for him to advance or retrace
his steps. In this perdicament be stood
for a few moments, when desperately he
climbed farther upward. On his left
band there yawned a fissure, the depth, ol
which could not be ascertained. A rock
thrown down could be heard striking the
sides until the sound dwindled to a faint
echo. Progressing a little further the
doctor was confronted by two chasms one
on each side of him, and he was forced
to retrace his steps amidst the greatest
peril, in order to cross over a bridge
which had formed over one of the crev
asses. When he reached the summit he
was overjoyed, and stood wrapped in
amazement at tbe panorama of Oregon
and Washington spread out before him.
He says now that if he bad to undertake
the ascent again, knowing the dangers tie
had to meet and overcome, nothing could
induce hiui to make the attempt In mak
ing the descent a better route was fol
lowed but by reason of a false step "he
sprained his knee, and be was forced to
resort to medical agencies to permit him
to regain the camp. On the summit he
registered his name with many others;
but advises persons to take a different
route np the mountain from the one -he
followed.
Transcendental Genins.
We kindly acknowlege the receipt of the
commission as one .of . the delegates to the
arid lands convention, to be held in Salt
Lake .City September 15, 16 and 17, 1391.
In this connection we take occasion to
thank his excellency, Goy. Pennoyer, and
the former appointee, Mr. George P. Mor
gan, who resigned and recommended our
appointment. In the first place, we know
little or nothing about the subject to be
discussed, haying nevei farmed ten feet of
ground in our life, and shall therefore re
sign in favor of some one ' more competent.
Perhaps Mr. Hugh Goorlay, our erudite
and scholastic contemporary, whose great
brain development is tbe wonder of modern
times, would comprise in a compact form
ail the knowledge .about irrigation neces
sary in the northwest. " His transcendental
genius would evolve some method for ren
dering arid lands fertile which would be
eminently successful. It is not generally

these are facts they are not - generally
known; but the modern German school of
materialistic philosophers, as well as-the
liberal school of American religious think
ers, may well tremble when such a Daniel
has come to pronounce judgment, and his
refutation of the sophistry of Robert Els
mere, as well as his knowledge of how to
make barren places bloom and blossom bke
the rose, will be almost a miraculous revel
ation to mankind. By all means let the
giant mind of the great Irishman go to
Salt Lake, and do all he can for irrigation in
the northwest.
The Portage Koad.
A Bpecial meeting of the board cf trade
was called last evening in reference to the
matter of the portage road. In the absence
of other officers, Second Vice President
BJakely presided.
Representatives of the newly-incorporat
ed company were present, who indicated a
desire that the citizens of The Dalles should
secure at least right of way and terminal
facilities. The fact was also made manifer
that upon the action of The Dalles depend'
ed in a great measure the co-operation of
Portland. After considerable discussion as
to the best method of assisting and encour
aging the enterprise, a committee was ap
. pointed to confer with the citizens of The
,DaIIe3 and ascertain what they could and
would do toward securing right of way, ter
minal facilities and subsidy for a portage
between Dalles City and Biggs.
At this meeting $100 was appropriated
for improying the Klickitat Valley wagon
road, trom the grade to tbe ferry.
A discussion was also indulged concern
ing tbe coming exhibit, "Oregon on Wheels."
JNo action was taken other than the ex
pressed intention of encouraging the enter
prise in any way which might hereafter
present itself.

. A -Fatal Prison Break.
Waixa Walla, Aug. 20 A desperate
attempt to escape was made by the con
victs of tbe penitentiary to day, and two
prisoners were killed. The break was
frnstrated only by tbe bravery of Warden
McClees and the coolness of the guards,
Tbe warden and his whole force are the
heroes of tbe hour.
THE WARDEN'S STOBT.
John McClees was sworn and gave the
lollowing testimonv:
I am the warden ot the penitentiary,
Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock the
eosine came in with a load of wood and
flour and coupled on two of the empties,
When this was done I told tbem to clear
tbe track. I waited till the engine
backed nearly up to uie and spoke to tbe
yard foreman, when 1 was caught from
behind by four men, two of whom
know. Tney told .me to throw up my
bands or I would be a dead man.
said : "Hold on, bojs, no oue is hurt ''
By this time the engine bad started
back and two men bad stepped on it
from my side. Tbe four men then
started with me toward the east gates,
which were closed after tne engine came
in. In going toward the gate, Gleason
did most of tbe talking, tie said mat l
must bave tbe guard to throw bis gun
down or I would be a dead man. I said
to keen cool, as nd one was scared or
hurt. "Come on," I said, "we will go
up there," and I marched along with
them toward the gate. Tbey held
knives displayed in front of me. Tbe
two men behind let go of me when
half way to the gate, but I did not see
those men at all. Tbey marched up
toward t ie gate, Gleason continuing to
threaten me it tbe guard did not throw
down bis gan. When we were within 30
feet of tbe fence I ordered Will Swash,
tbe guard, to keep cool, as be had his
gun so be could shoot all three. When
within fifteen feet of the guard Berry
Gleason said: "Make him drop that gun
or down you go.'' His knife was still at
my throat. I said, "Keep cool," and be
was then shot down by Pbil Berry. I
then tried to capture the other man, who
bad escaped from mo. He ran twenty
pa twenty-ove lett, when be was shot.
Tm the report be turned around once, and
thM started to run again. Pbilip Berry
shot him down. He still bad a knife in
bis band. Tbe orders to tbe guards ia
case of trouble are to shoot and prevent
escape at all hazards. I think about
thirty convicts were involved in tho plot.
There were one hundred and thirty-five
men in tbe yard. I don't go -around Is
there, as I do not think it is safe. Gleald
said : "Make him throw the gun fn befe
meaning inside tbe stokade. I do not
think that I had any chance to escape
alive and knew that wben I led the men
toward the gate if the guard kept cool
both Gleason and Morris were tbe same
as dead men.
Another Vendetta,
Purvis, Miss., Aug. 18 A family feud
which is likely to prove a bloody cne
opened here to day. Jesse Lee and Will
iam Boon, well-known citizens of Purvis,
met at a neighbor's house and, without
wasting any time in words, began firing
at each other. Boon was shot twice
through tbe heart, but before he died.
and while lyiog on the ground, be sue
ceedod in wounding Lee, who escaped,
but is thought to be fatally shot. Fam
ily troubles caused tbe duel, and, as each
man bas many connections wit'j fighting
blood in tbeir veins, it is not thought
that tbe trouble will end here.
Suicide or a Seattle man.
Marshpield, Or., Aug. 20 Captain
E. L. Marshall, a well-known and
wealthy real estate man of Seattle, Wash,
was lost overboard from the steamer
Arago, leaving San Francisco for Marsh -field,
Monday evening. Tbe captain
was last seen between 9 and 10 o'clock.
on Tuesday nigbt, standing by tbe rail
at tbe stern of tbe steamer, but was not
missed until Wednesday morning. His
berth bad not been occupied. It is
supposed to be a case of suicide.

steamship fireman, couvicted of tbe mur
der of a boy, whose body was found float
ing in a sailor's bag in tbe river, was
