Colfax, Oct. 14. To day developed a
sensation that stirred the city with inter

was standing in front of the postoffice,
on Main street, when bis attention was
called to an article in to day's Gazette,

Just at tbie time. Editor Ballaine, of the
Gazette, came down the street, and Brown
stepped op to him and asked if he was
the author of the article. On receiving
an affirmative answer, Brown applied a
vulcar epithet and struck at Ballaine.
Both were soon hammering away at each
other in good style, and a large crowd
collected about the contestants. The
two were separated after Brown had bit
ten a small section off the index fi Beer oi
Ballaine's right hand. The warriors wcie
brought before Magistrate Pattison,
where Brown pleaded gnilty and Ballaine
demanded a trial and pleaded not guilty.
The trial resulted in Brown being fined
$5. and Ballaine was discharged. There

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oi-t. 14. For two
days the severest storm ever known on
the Union Pacific has been raging here,
and as far west as Ogdeo, Utah. Tele
graphic communication is cut off in all
directions. This dispatch .goes through
on a temporary wire. Alia the railroads
are blocked with show in cuts 18 feet
deep in some places. Snow plows have
been haid at work between Granite and
Laramie, with the suow five feet deep on
a level - Half a dczen eaet bound trains
tied up here left last night, and 30 coach
loads of people from the west pulled in,
with more to follow. The Ct'eyeune
Northern is entirely blocked and no one
kuows where the belated trains on it are.
ueports are oeing received ot an immense
loss of cattle and horses in northern Col
orado and Wyoming. It is estimated
almost one third of all the animals on the
ranges are destroyed by the storm. An
unknown man perished in the storm near
Greeley, Col,, yesterday.
The Astoria Road.
Astoria, Or., Oct. 15. A local paper
to-day publishes an article stating that a
contract has been signed by the Snbsidy
Guarantee Company and Corey-Bros, for
the completion of the Astoria & Portland
railroad, and that Corey Bros, have taken
up all liens on the road and will pay
them and proceed immediately to finish
the road, and that they have been granted
an extension of time for its completion to
.December, 1893. To verifv the article,
au Oregonian correspondent called on one
of the contractors. He stated that be
and bis associates were negotiating with
the subsidy company, but no contract
hud been signed and nothing official had
vet been given out for publication. Mr.
Gots has notified the contractors that be
is unable to raie tbeir lien on the road,
and the road therefore reverts to the con
tractors Tne gentleman stated that were
tbey to contract lor building the road,
their first move would be to fi nish the
roai lrom Astoria to Seaside. The gen
tleman stated that nothing official would
be given to the public for torn time.
Indians flocli in to Umatilla.
Umatilla, Or., Oct. 16. The recent
cold weather has brought the Indians
down from the mountains, and the Indian
village here is growing larger in conse
quence. Salmon have just reached this
far, and the Indians are eager to get hold
of them. At the rapids of the Umatilla
river, a mile above here, the noble red
man stands day and night with a hooked
pole in band, ready to grab the wily sal
mon that are fortunate enough to (ret
past the numerous nets and fishwbeels irr
the Columbia. . "
The amount paid for the Phillips property
by the city should have been $2500 instead
of $2800, as the type made ua say yester
day. The last rose still continues to bloom, and
will, in this climate, nntil the anowa of
December hides the blushing flower from
view.
At a depth of two and a half feet a hard
gravel cement was encountered, which was
sufficiently compact to retain all gold.
From all indications the metal is supposed
to be what is called drift, or float, and may
have been washed down by glacial action.
The bedrock was not reached, but the
cravel cement and lays would have pre
vented any gold lodging there. There is
water enough to wash out about 160 acres
of ground during the short season, and
when this is finished it will be almost im
possible to put the stream on any other por
tion of the ground. a

Catholic Teachers ltarred Oat.
Detroit, Mich., Oct. 14 The board
ot education of tbls city baa adopted a
resolution, after a fierce fight, practically
excluding Catholics from teaching in the
Detroit public schools. It provides that
no one shall be eligible as a teacher who
has not obtained bis or her education id
the - public schools, and who is not
graduate of some public high school. The
Calholic clergy of the city recently pre
sented a sharp remonstrance against this
proposed action. The committee on
teachers of the bord of education replied
last night that if any religious discrim
ination has been shown it bas been on
the part of the Catholic clergy ot this
diocese ia refusing the sacrament to pu
piis who attended the public schools, and
to parents who permitted such at ten -
. daDce.

Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 15.The Cher
okee commission has concluded the deal
for the Eurplus land of the Kiowa and
Qomancbe country alter the Indians bad
been allowed tbeir allotments. The In
dians were guaranteed $2,000,000, of
which they will receive annually 6 per
cent until the whole amount is paid. A
stipulation in the treaty allows them to
appeal to congress for au additional bait
million. The land will remain undistur
bed until April, 1894, much of it beincr
leased to cattle men. The. treaty is sub
ject to the consent and signature cf a
majority ot the Indians, and then to rat
ification by congress. The total area of
the reservation is 3,968,893 acres, less
300,000 acres occupied by the Wichita
mountain?, which are not included, beside
12.000 acres of Fort Sill, a military reser
vatiob, and allotments to 3000 Indians of
169 acres each. This leaves a public do
main that will furnish homes tor 14,230
families.

tbe Democratic state central committee
began mandamus proceedings against
Secretary of State Brown to comoel him
to place the Dames of nine electors on the

Mr. Theodore Cartright returned Wednes
day from a visit to the lately discovered
placer mines near the bead of Bock creek.
These are about 40 miles from Goldendale,
and can be easily reached from that city.
The extent of the ground ia almost bound
less, and gold can be found from 1 to 50
colors to the pan from the toot-hills of Mt.
Adams to the Columbia river opposite Ar
lington. Of course, in places, it will not pay
Chinaman's wages, and it is a waste of time
to prospect. At the place where the men are
at work, fair wages are made; but on ac
count of water the season i very short
only about three months. With an abun
dance ot water Mr. Cartright says the mines
would pay $15 or $20 a day; but this u al
most impossible to secure. He sunk a hole
twelve feet deep, and struck a hard lava.
