"Wednesday, November 11th, the usually
quiet burg ot Acme was all wrought up

can be learned, that the two men pos
sessed, jointly, a boom of logs which
were tied up at one of the mills.and which
Saunders sold to Mr. Funke, of Florence,
the night before the fracas, and it was
through an unsatisfactory division of the
money received for the logs that the fight
was provoked. Several passes were made
at one another with axes, chairs and mal
lets, but the moat serious thrust was when
Hartley, after warding off a blow from a
mallet in the hands ot Saunders, plunged
a saw file twice into the latter's side, once
near the hip and the second time near the
heart. Outsiders about this time were
successful in separating them. Soon after

guilty ot larceny, were seutenced to two
years in the reform school, these are mere

an Francisco Examiner; The verdict
against the government in the case of the
Itata is an embarrassment to the adminis
tration but a relief to tho American people.
It shows that American courts can be de
pended upon to do justice to foreignes eyen
in the heat ot a controversy like the present
one in Chili, for which we may feel thank
ful. But it convicts the admiuUtration ot a
collo.-sal and disastrous mistake. From the
first the Examiner has insisted that the
whole course of our government in the mat
ter of the ltata was a wretched blunder
and now its view is coniirmed by a United
States court.

have seen for a long time were occupying
the city lait to-day. Stretched out,- with
bed-covers under them, they were enjoying
lull happiness. iheir only objection
was that the marshal did not furnish them
with cigars and bring their meals frequent'

anxiety appeared how the could procure a
Thauksgiving turkey, and sufficient tobacco
to smoke daring their incarceration.

Editor Timeb-Moostaisbir:
Thinking perhaps a few items
from
your
Monmouth might be of interest to
many readers I send the following :
Monmouth is a town of about 800 in-
inhabitants. It is nestled among the hills
of the Coast Range, two miles west of tne
Willamette river, and is the seat of the
State Normal School of Oregon.- On
looking to the northeast one has a Soe
view of Mt. Hood, (hat looks as natural

Surprise Partj.

Editor TiHis-UoDXTAunna:
Last evening a neat little surprise party
was given by the Ladies' Relief Corps at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Meyers in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A.
Varney, who. we are sorry to say, are abont
to leave The Dalles. The evening was
passed very pleasantly, being interspersed
with some lovely instrumental musio ren
dered by the skillful hand of Mrs. H. L.
Waters, some excellent vocal solos by Mrs.
A. Varney.and ohl such delicious coffee and
Oake, which, I am afraid, were too tempting
for a dyspectic; but aa all enjoyed a hearty
laugh over the funny games and charades
we trust no bad effects may come from over
eating. As all things mast end, so did this
most enjoyable party, and with well wishes
to Mr. and Mrs. Varney in their new home
and pleasant good night to our most enter
taining host and hostess all went home to
sleep and pleasant dreams. U,

Colonel Frank Parker, of the Walla Walla
Statesman, began bis newspaper career in
the northwest as war correspondent during
the Indian troubles along in the seventies.
In the Nez Perces campaign he was at
tached to the staff ot General Howard as
courier and scout. One day at the end ot a
long ride, he was crossing the Yellowstone
river near the moutn ot Ularks forK in
Montana, when bis faithful horse failed him
and be was soon being swept along by the
swift current. Fortunately he was earned
near the bank where Howard a camp was
pitched and he was rescued in an uncon
scious condition by some one.
After Col. Parker recovered he looked
around for his brave rescurer. James D.
Geogbegan, late speaker of the honse of this
state, who waa at that time also in How
ard's command, modestly submitted to haye
his hand nearly wrung off and received the
thanks of his grateful friend.
I think it was my watch I presented
Geoghegan with," said the Colonei. "I'm
not sure, but it was something to remind
tiiin in after years that I was not ungrate.
Jul."
About two weeks after, a soldier enlight
ened P rker to the effect that he had been
on picket duty that day on tne riyer bank
and had plunged in and saved the strag
gling scout. The C 'lonel at once presented
the soldier with his thanks and a beautiful
silver hiited bowie knife.
"That was in 77," said the Colonel.
Since then the man who saved me that
day from a watery grave in the icy Yellow
stone has been taming ap at the rate ot
three or fonr a year. That little loci
dent that day in the Yellowstone has cost
me at the least calculation from 2300 to
$1000 in tokens of gratitude and drinks for
my rescuer. I've done the proper thing
with most every survivor of that campaign
in the northwest, bat I'ye an idea that the
man who really pulled me out of the riyer
that day is yet to be heard from."

There are three roads leading to this
town, and it is the most available ship
ping point east ot The Dalles.
The superintendent ot the Union Pa
cific was here during the week, and prom
ised our busiuess men to lengthen out the
siding already here or put in a new one;
and also a depot building.
Mr. li. C. Wallace has completed a new
hotel with all modern improvements, and
also a convenient livery stable.
There will be over 400 carloads of
wheat shipped from this point the present
season.
Mr. 31. A. Phelps has opened np a large
mercantile store, and carries a full stock
of general merchandise.
The road leading to Grant pass this
town, and we claim to be nearer the
wheat-producing portion of Sherman
county than any point on the railroad.
The Union Pacific has established an
agency here during the past few days.
The shipment of wheat from this point,
Grant and Bices. amouDtiue to about
1300 carloads, emphasizes the importance
of the portage road on- the Oregon side.
Mails from the east pass this place to
and from points on the railroad, and to
the interior. It would be much more
convenient for Kufus to be the distrib
uting DOint for towns in Bhermaruand

Report of the Grand Jury.
The following is the report of the Grand
Juty, which was filed in the county clerk's
office yesterday:
In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon
for Wasco county.
In the matter of the final report of the
Grand Jury.
We, the grand jury for the November
term, 1891, respectfully report to the court:
That we have now been in session nine
days and have found and returned into
court sixteen indictments and five not true
bills, and have also inquired into several
other matters that have been brought be
fore us against parties not held to appear
and upon which no report has been made.
We haye also inquired into conditions
and management of the offices of the county
and also the public prisons and jails.
We find that the yault in which the
books and records pertaining to the county
clerk's office are kept is crowded to such an
extent that the work of the office is greatly
hampered thereby. We find that the same
is inadequate for the puper and convenient
keeping of the books and papers now on
hand and no provision is made for the in
creasing business. We would therefore
recommend that the vault be fitted up with
modern appliances. The present space can
be made available for many years by mod
ern steel vault furniture, and .we therefore
recommend, that it be put in as soon as con
venient. We find that the county and city jails
are in good shape and well kept, being as
clean and neat as can possibly be expected.
We find the county poor farm is well
kept and all inmates well and bountifully
proyided for.
We find that the county treasurer's office
carefully and competently kept and man
aged, and in fact all the offiees of tne county
are in good condition and properly kept and
managed.
Having finished our labors, we respect
fully ask to be discharged.

Wasco Sun: It ia rumored that a man
named Miles Summers, working as herder
on a sheep - ranch on Kock creek, Uilliam
county, was murdered by his employer last
week. The murder is said to have been
committed in order to ayoid paying the
herder the wages due him for fourteen
months seryiee. It has not been ascer
tained who the man is other than that he is
the owner of a large band of sheep which is
now in charge of his family, and that he has
not been seen since the day of the murder.
On last Saturday a deputy sheriff from
Gilliam county was in Portland searching
lor the alleged murderer, but at last ac
counts had Dot succeeded in finding him.
These are the facts as learned in Portland,
bat there seems to be a mystery surround
ing the affair that makes the story of the
rumortd murder improbable. Parties from
Gilliam county arriving here recently have
no knowledge of such murder, and although
stated to have occurred a week ago last
Sunday neither of the Gilliam county
papers refer to it. An effort waa made to
interview the deputy sheriff in Portland and
he . gave the name of . the murdered man,
but discovering that he waa talking to a
newspaper man, he refused to give any
fnther informatiotb.
W. W. Statesman: Abont a year ago
Mr. Samms and wife came to this city from
Kansas. He has since proved himself to be
a very industrious man, and he and his wife
seemed to be very happy, together. A few
weeks ago, however, when Mr. Samms re
turned from his work in the evening" he
found a note on the table, saying that she
and her two nephews had gone into the
country to a target practice, and would be
back at evening. Tbey, however, did not
return, am) thus Mr. Samms felt vejy un
easy over the matter, for he found that his
wife had taken away considerable money, her
best dresses and a revolver was also missing;
he was then able to realize the real facts Of
the case, viz: that she had eloped with the
two young men. A short time after Mr.
Samms took leave of his brother, saying 'he
was going to Bear Valley, in Oregon.
Nothing .more was beard from him until
Sunday last when be returned accompanied
by his wife. He had been to San Francisco
after her and found her nephews had de
serted her, aud she was too glad to return
to her liege lord.
Eugene Guard: About five o'clock
Wednesday morning M. D. Baldwin, who
lives in Chesher's addition, and is janitor of
the Geary public school, was missed and it
is feared that he has committed suicide.
Sidney Horn saw him at that hour walking
towards the school house, and bis wifs
awoke and missed him a short time there
after. He had been suffering for several
days with pain in his head, and last night
be was delirious most of the time, and had
taken several heavy doses of quinine. He
bad been despondent for a week or more.
Search parties were sent out aud his hat
was found about the middle of the Eugene
wagon bridge, and the dirt around the hole
near where the hat was found, seemed to
have beeu brushed away. Therefore it ia
supposed that be lumped into the river.
Grappling irons bave been secured and men
were dragging the riyer at the hour ot go
ing to press. He, was a member 01 the G
A. R. post of this city. Since writing the
aboye ' we learn that he left his watch and
money in his vest.
Herald: Qa last Saturday night William
Rawl, confined in the Malheur county jail
at Vale, on a charge of burglary, made his
escape by the assistance of a friend who
stole the key to the cell occupied by Bawl
from Sheriff Fell's desk and while that
officer was at supper, made an entrance
through a window in the sheriff's office con
nected with the jail and Rave the prisoner
his liberty As soon aa the discoyery was
made that his bird bad flown Sheriff Fell
started officers in every direction and the
chances are very good for Rawl to be re
captured. Marshal Logan, of Vale, came
immediately to this point to guard this
gateway of escape and from him we learned
the above in regard to the jiil deliyery.
Rawl is described as being fiye feet one or
two inches in height, weight about 120
pounds, very dark complexion, small mus
tache and abont 30 years old. Sheriff Fell
will pay a liberal reward for his capture
and return to Vale.
Albany Herald: Deputy U. S. Marshal P.
B. Sinnott, of Portland, arrested Wilson
White on the Simlaw Monday, on a war
rant charging him with cutting timber on
government land. It appears that White
and hit father and two brothers some time
since stripped the cedar timber from an en
tire section of government land in Chesher
precinot, and made the same up into shin
gles. The timber taken is valued at $500.
He was given a hearing before U. S. Com
missioner J. J. Walton and was held in the
sum of $250 to appear before the U. 8.
grand jury at Portland.
