The Times-Monntaineer SATURDAY .NOVEMBER 7. 1891 TELEGEAPHIO. . Hpokane News. Spokane, Not. 2. About 3 o'clock this afternoon & telephone wire broke and fell across the trolley wire ot tbe Spokane Street Railway Company on Riverside ay en ne, neaj the postoffice. For nearly half an honr the trolley wire burned, when suddenly an explosion occurred, - like tbe report of a pistol, and tbe wire broke, one of the ends banging down on . tbe track, the otber remaining suspended in tbe air. Just at this time, a large beer wagon belonging to Fitzgerald & Green, drawn by two horses and driven by a man named Mason, came rapidly down the avenue, and one of the horses, striking the wire lying in the street, was thrown violently to tbe ground. He made an effort to rise, but fell back across the live wire and was instantly killed. The otber hoi'se also fell to tbe ground from the shock, but recovered, as the wire failed to touch him. Tbe driver jnmped to tbe ground to help the horses, bat was warned back by tbe cries of ' spectators.. Great excitement prevailed for a time, everybody shouting to every one else to look oat. A large black dog, wishing to investigate tbe causa of the commotion, came in contact with tbe . live wire and was also killed. Superin tendent Bnce, of tbe company, who bad witnessed tbe burning of tbe wire, tele phoned to tbe power house and the car rent was turned off. ' Will L. Bertrand,a groceryman, doing " business on Spragne street,has been miss ing since early yesterday morning. "He left his home about 6 :30 o'clock, to go to the store to tarn out tbe lights and see if everything was all right, since wbicb time he has not been heard of. No cause can be given for his disappearance, and whether be has been tbe victim of foal play, or purposely left the city, is not known. " . Richard Smith, in attempting to board a freight train at the Northern Pacific - yard Saturday night, was thrown under tbe cars and suffered severe injuries, bav- ing bis right leg broken in two places and his left foot badly crushed. He was ' removed to tbe Sacred Heart hospital, where both legs were ampntated. To day his recovery is considered doubtful. A Shrewd Forger Caught at JH!s Worlc. Ashland, Or Nov. 2. A' man who answers very closely the description of Charles B. Hogg, alias Barton, and who m wanted at San Bernardino, Cat., for " forging Dank - checks, was arrested at ' Ashland this afternoon for committing a , like forgery upon a bank here. He has every appearance ot being a shrewd and - skillful worker in tbe forgery line and on bis person were found blank checks on various banks, from Texas to California. Tbe cashier of the bank of Ashland cashed a check on an Eastern bank for $200? presented by Hogg and indorsed 4y Rev. F. G. Strange, of this place to day. , but became suspicious of the signature of Strange, and upon investigation, - found that it bad been forged. The for ger bad coolly remained in town and was induced to return to the bank and pay back the money until be could have the check . farther indorsed. Upon leaving the bank he seemed to fear that be was suspected, and immediately started to walk out of town, bat the officers over hauled him before be had gotten far. The San Bernardino county sheriff Was notified this evening, and -Hogg will probably bave several cases of forgery to answer for before he is through. The Open River. - Portland World. m ' Notwithstanding the action ' of the Chamber of Commerce in recommending the Mohr route for a portage on the Washington side of the Columbia river, we do not think the question is by any means settled. After a summer spent in numerous meetings and journeyings to and fro inspecting the- different routes, it is a strange thing that nothing more definite could be arrived at. But we see - a way oat of tbe difficulty. Now that . the Cascade Locks portage is in opera tion, it has been practically demonstrated that tbe state can build a portage rail way and operate it successfully, thus ac complishing tbe desired object, viz., the relief of the farmers, orcbardists and mer ' chants of the country contiguous to tbe river. Whether this has been success folly accomplished or npt, one has only . to ask any of the numerous visitors to tbe city from points between Portland : and 'The Dalles, and an affirmative an swer will be given in ' eyery instance. Several Eastern Oregon newspapers are advocating a special session of the legis iatnre to appropriate a sum. sufficient to build a portage on tbe ' Oregon side at the dalles, and we hope it will be done, Should tbe state built tbe portage at tbe dalles the open river question would be forever settled, and there would be no possibility of a sell out, and that surely .,' is the main point to be guarded against, Under tbe provisions of the Watkias' bill tbe state has full power to build and operate a portage at tbe dalles, and tbe funds are available. That such a project wonid be a success financially there can be no doubt, and there is no reason why it should not be. The next legislature, at all events, could cut the gordian knot; and no doubt will do so. No reasonable business man thinks for a moment that the pottage on tbe Washington side will accomplish tbe object aimed at, and probably no offer at present before the public would satisfac ." tonly do so. One fact cannot be overlooked in an - undertaking of sucb vital importance to Portland and the people of Oregon tbe management should be amenable to Ore gon Jaws and this can only be accom plished by building tbe line tenth of tbe Columbia. The engineers of the case imperatively demand thiatbe interests of a lew Spokane and Seattle capitalists to the contrary notwithstanding. We think v the people of Eastern Oregon at tbe next election will enunciate this fact with no uncertain sound. Perhaps a latal Accident. Walla Walla Statesman, i Mark Evans, an old pioneer of Walla Walla valley, was seriously and perhaps fatally Injured early Saturday evening. Mr. Evans had ridden in from his farm early Saturday and bad stabled his hone with Bryan Brothers. About six o'clock having finished his business, he had his horse saddled, and when about to mount in some way slipped and throwing his weight against the horse, fell, pulling the animal down on top of him. As quietly as possi ble the horse waa taken off and Mr. Evans found in an unconscious condition, with tbe blood streaming from two fearful cuts in his head one just above the nose and the other above tbe forehead. Ine injured and careers breathing man waa immediatelv takes to Drs. Bingham & Keylor'a office where his wounds were dressed and he was then removed to St. Mary's hospital. The attending physicians report his injuries ot a serious nature. Mr. Evans' many friends and acquaintances will be grieved to learn of his mishap. Hallowe'en. Hallow'en was not allowed to pass in The Dalles without observance. There were parties at Mr. Schenk's and the Wasco "academy, where gayety and mirth were un-, confiued.and appropriate games were played by tbe invited guests. The party at Mr. and Mrs. Schenk's was given for Miss Jennie Lown, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Tbe feature of the evening was a cake contain ing a ring. Mia Maie Williams waa the fortunate young lady. The evening closed with a "witch fire," from which the young people rescued 'their future mates. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Garretaon, Miss es Jennie Lown, Gertrude Meyers, Virginia Marden, Jennette Williams, Maie Will iams, Ursula Each, Louise Rocb, Matilda Holhsfer, Grace Campbell, May G. Frazier, Drs. Sutherland and Eshelman and Messrs. Lonsdale, ' Ed. Williams, Ainawortb, J. Crandall, Sim. Campbell, Tinman Butler and M. Donnell. The report of the party at the Wasco Academy was received too late for this issue, and will be printed to morrow. . . " Then that fun of the rr ore boisterous kind where youngsters think they are li censed to perpetrate all sorts of practical jokes on moveable property was likewise indulged, and numerous were the misplaced gates and transposed signs to testify to the mischiet-loyiog attributes of Young Amer ica of both sexes, for on this night girls were ont on devilment bent.as well as boys. Hallowe'en is the vigil of Hallowmas or All Saints Day." Though somewhat neglected in modern practice, the most essential part of the Hallowe'en ritual seems to consist in the lighting by each household of a bonfire at nightfall. This points to the very an cient and widely-diffused practice of kind ling sacred fires at certain seasons of the year notably on the eve of May 1st and of November 1st. Probably the winter, as well as the summer festival, was from the beginning regarded as a season when the fairies were both unusually active and un usually propitious. In these latter days the origin as well as the proper obseryance of the day, is not closely inquired into, but while its significance may die, the name of the day will probably survive as long as does civilization with whatever observance custom may develop. Hallowe'en Party. A Hallowe'en party given at the Wasco Independent Academy by the geometry class Saturday evening proved to be a very enjoyable event. The building, illuminated by Japanese and-Jack O'Lanterns, presented a very weird appearance. At 7:30 the maskers, moved by spirits, formed in line, and led by a tall and stately ghost inarched in a circle until a very pretty hgnre had been made. Then games began, and at i proper time refreshments were served in an unique and original manner. At the con, elusion of the exercises a prize was awarded to N. Gate for the beet sustained charac ter a negress. Following is the program Hallowe'en March Game Little Sally Water. Sontr Binro. Recitation Tbe Witch's Soliloquy. .Edward Baldwin bong upiaee.

Twin Cripples. Two dependents upon public charity were seen upon our streets this morning, suffer ing a like infirmity. Both legs are ainpu tated at the knee, which decreases their statnre to about three - feet and a half. Their story is told in pamphlet form as fol lows, and illustrates the seyerity of a Da kota, blizzard: "On the 7th of January, 1888, we left Fort Sully, S. D., to go to Huron, about 160 miles distant, by team, Although the weather was cold we appre hended no danger, as we were informed that there were settlements all along oar route. For the first four days we encountered nothing nnusnal, and stopped over night with a Mr. Geo. Harris. Getting an early start on the morning of the ISth, we had driven about one honr when the storm burst upon us "in all its fury. Expecting every moment to find shelter we pushed on, not knowing where, but gaining courage by moving, until onr horses became exhausted, We abandoned them and continued on foot all that day and night, and when it became light on the morning of the 13th we were in sight of a- Mr. Solcsburg's residence, to which we bent onr steps and where we re, ceived what assistance Mr. and Mrs. Soles- burg (a very old couple) could render.as our hands,- face and feet were badly frozen and swollen. Onr wagon was found a tew days after the storm where it was left, and a couple of dead horses about two miles from there, presumably ours. We bad ' traveled in a southeast direction about 20 miles dur ing the storm. We remained at Mr. Soles burg's sixteen days, and being unable to get tbe necessary medical assistance, we re turned to Chicago, where, after two months of the most intense suffering, it was de cided to amputate our limbs, which was done on the 26th and 27th of March, 1888."

Oregonian. A back drove up in front of the" city jail about 6 :30 o'clock last eyeuing, and as soon as the door was opened a young man jumped out and started 'down Sec ond at a rate that would bave left any electric car in the lurch. Next an older man emerged from tbe hack, and as be saw the young man disappear down the street be shouted to him to stop. The young man bad no time. A second order to halt was attended by no better results. Then a pistol shot rung out into the misty .air that startled even tbe police in, side tbe jail. The shot was fired by tbe man who got out of tbe hack last and the pistol was aimed at the young man who was flying down tbe street. As tbe bul let did not take effect the young man disappeared in the darkness and then his pursuer was pressed for an explanation by half a dozen excited policemen, who imagined that a murder had been com mitted. He told his story in a very few words. 'He is a rancher and lives near The Dalles. Tbe other man was to work for him, bu( as he had an opportunity to steal $20 from his . boy, be took leave without giving formal notice. Tbe old man went to The Dalles, was deputized as an officer and followed the thief to Portland.. He caught bim at the dock as The Dalles boat came in, arrested him, took him into a back and was about to deliver him up to tbe authorities here, when tbe incideut tbat led to tbe shoot ing occurred. Tbe thief fugitive is still at large. An Extra Session .Needed. Astoria, Oct. 30, 1891. Editor Tuns-MoinrMnnua: I am pleased to see that yon are urging upon the governor the necessity for an ex tra session of the legislature for the pur pose of making an appropriation sufficient to build a portage railway at the dalles. You are on the right track, the state should own these portages, they should not be allowed to pass into the .hands of any cor poration. And the press of this state, and especially that of Eastern Oregon, should join with you in your laudable effort for the relief of the farmers . and the commerce of this great inland empire. The Columbia river is the natural outlet for all of the products of this great and growing coun try, and this state shonld not be niggardly nor backward in giving immediate and com plete relief. The Oregonian supported the Railey bill which onght to be' a law, and the people of Eastern Oregon should see that no man is sent to congress from this district 'that ever opposed tbe opening of these portages either by voice or vote. Let the goyernor show his hand aBd call an ex tra session immediately so as to. give the re. lief sought as soon as. possible, and throw the whole matter upon the shoulders of the legislature and let that body be responsible for keeping the commerce of Eastern Oregon in the hands of a monopoly tbat charges an extortionate tonnage-and does not give or furnish sufficient facibties for moving said products. 4 The coat of the extra session and the building of the portages is nothing compared to the -benefits to be derived. Let the good work go on. - "fours as eyer, ' James W. Wcxoh. Legal Notices. Final Settlement Notice In the count court ot the county ot Wasco and state ot Oregon, sitting as a court of probate.
