ITEMS JN BRIEF
From Vednesdav's Bailf.
Mr. Amos Lovejoy, of Pnoeville, is in

Cold, frosty mornings; but the days sre
-. warm, pleasant ana orignt.
A marriage licence was granted to-day
bv the couuiv clerk to A. u. Hull and
Ella Ward.

A special pnssenger tram passed
through the city yesterday afternoon
about 4 o'clock tor Portland.
There appears to be no diminintion of
the number of wheat wagons arriving in
the city, and Moody's warehouse is con
stantly thronged with a large number.
The rock chewed up by the rock
' crusher could be placed in the sinks io
Second street to a great advantage, and
- would greatly improve that thoroughfare.
In the Cascade mountains is the Great
. Sunken lake, the most deeply sunken
lake in the world. It is fifteen miles long
and four and a half wide. It is two
thousand feet down to the surface of the
water, but the depth of the water is un
known. .
At Corvallis, Friday, Judge Fullerlon,
ot the circuit court, issued an order di
recting the unrestricted sale ot the Or ?
gnn Pacific railroad property by the sber-
itt on or before December loth, s iys the
. Albany Herald. It reports are true there
will be some lively bidding on the road
at the approaching sale, and the road will
oe sow inis time without tail.
Dr. W. E. Rinebart was taken to the pi3
senger train last nuht, and left for u
Grande, Union county Yesterday he ur
fered severe pains in the abdomen, ctuKed
by a twisting of - the intestines, and as his
parents live at Union he went on board tha
union racino tor tnat point; but was bo
prostrated that be had to be carried to the
- Pullman oar on a stretcher.
The special which left this city yesterday
afternoon met with an accident, by which
nve cars were thrown from the track. A
learn that a switch was left open near Hood
iuver, and the signal not being given, the
. train went dashing through, derailing some
, of the coaches. The wrecking car and crew
- left this city iu the eveini;, and iu a few
hours the cars weie replaced and the track
repaired.
We heard a report yesterday that a four
horse wagon in coming down the grade on
the Deschutes hill Monday to Sherar'a
bridge, was thrown from the grade and the
animals attached to is were killed Tlx
hones took fright, and becoming unman
ageable ran off the grade, canning their
death at.d breaking the wagon badly. After
diligent inquiry we could learn nothing
more than is contained in the rumor.
Messrs. G. W. BurliDgame and C. W.
Dieizel have on exhibition adjoining the
First national bank in this city, a straw
burning attachment, which may befitted
to any stove. They made several tests t-o
day as regards the amount of luel used
and heat produced, and these were very
successful. Their introduction into the
- counties in this state where wood is
scarce would be a great saving in the cos
offuel.
Salem Democrat: Business on the VVil.
lamette is lively nowadays, boats desiring
to make the moat of the high water, which
it is feared, will not last until the winter
rains set in. The Ationa, Young, Toledo, HI
wood, Boag and Three Sisters have been at
the wbarf during the past week, and Salem
baa preaenttd the appearance of a lower
river town. All the boats are doirg a rush
ing business and the warehouses are packed
with freight.
Ashland Tidings: Geo. H. Chick, the
swindler who imposed on the people of
Meotora, ana later bilked the miners in
Shasta county, Cal with his alleged
"process" of reduciug rebellious good
ores, succeeded in doing business on a
larger scale at Topeka, Kan., where he
sold a large amount of stock in a concern
called 'The Chick Short Method Silver
Smelting ix." After taking in a goodly
amount of cash, he fled, leaving the stock
holders holding a worthless smelter. His
victims are now trying to have him ar
rested and brought to justice.
A Salem attorney is entitled to the bak
ery. He succeeded in acquitting a horse
thief found with the animal in his pos
session, on the ground that the man stole
the ride and not the horse. The defense
was that the man while tired found
stray horse, borrowed it and rode on his
way. The jury, which are sometimes
yery strange mixtures, agreed with Law
yer Kaiser and acquitted the man. Ac
cording to the theory it would be as rea
sonable to convict a tramp ot stealing a
train when only stealings ride, as to con
vict such a man ot stealing the horse.
The following is from the Eugene Guard:
Ihe. r ortland Daily 'lelegramot Saturday
says: 'secretary Walpole states that Sam
uel Fleming, aged 60, bind, from Znes-
ville, O., is collating aid to so to Ashland,
Oregon. He should be referred ,to the
city board of charities, where he will be
prope. ly carea ior. ne claims to be a
Methodist, and will probably attend
churches of that denomination to-morrow .
He is a professional beggar.' The same in
dividual arrived here on last night's train,
and claims that be has not a cent in the
world. He is seeking alms on the streets to
day. Il is the general opinion that he is of
a class that is unworthy pt assistance from
anyone.
it seems tnat St. peter, or whoever is
warden at the heavenly portals, left the
- gates ajar one day, and a little angel babe
found ils way to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. D. W. Aldndge, of Prineville, last
week. This is the way the editor apolo
gizes for his short-comings of tbo New
on the occasion: "A man who can edit a
paper, make np the forms, do the 'press
work, cook for a sick wife, play with a
new-born baby and get a paper out on
Saturday of each week, is a man after our
own heart.. Our duties recently have been
too arduous to talk about; but 'We get
there just the same.' "
Advices from Chicago place to the
credit of Oregon the most remarkable
peaches exhibited there. These peaches
were grown at Ashland by Sir. Max
Pracht and forwarded by him. One box
of seventeen sent to Chicago, weighed 14
pounds 6 ounces net. They were perfect
in flavor and brilliant in color, rare qual
ities in peaches maturing so late. Di.
Lewis, the commissioner for Oregon, in a
letter to Mr. Max Pracht, dated October
6th, says the peaches are absoluiely un
equalled. They were received with de
light by. the Oregon family at the fair,
they were shown with pride, and all who
saw them pronounced them the finest in
the world. These were the Canada Cling
yariety. They are developed through a
careful system of pruning and thinning.
Boxes oi Sal ways, in every way as re
markable, are now in transit to Chicago
day, will be 92 in November, Mr. Olney
Fry sr. in February. Mrs. Fisher is a little
younger but very ac ive. Mr. Fry walks
several miles some days.
There weie two persons who had no place
to pass the night who were furnished lodg
ings in the city jail last night. The city
police force have consciencee.and frequently
do acts ot charity which are commendable.
Mr. G. F. Beers received a stroke of par
alysis this morning at his residence in this
city. Tbis is the third time the old gentle
man has been afflicted with the same dis
ease. He was rendered speechless, and
at last reports his limbs were losing all ac
tion

The Astoria Budget declares that a young
married man in that city played poker two
days and two nights ast week, and when
he went home he found his dear little wife
sitting up in bed eating canary seed. See
ing that she was not liable to starve In

day and night.
Mr. H. P. Potter, of Boyd, died last
night of consumption. He his baen con
Sued to bis bed for the past four weeks, but
had been ailing with the disease for many
years. Mr. rotter was an industrious and
respected citizen, and bis death will be
greatly deplored. He was aged about 40
years.and leaves a widow to mourn his loss.
East Oregonian: Cap-am N. B. Hum
phry walks the streets of Pendleton glad to
be again in a country where uod s sunlight
shines alike on the just and unjust for the
greater part of the time. The captain looks
better than for years before. He prescribed
to a cadaverous looking yonth who talked
with him, unlimited quantities of egg nog,
Baying-that it had saved his own lite and
brought him to robust health.
Wm. Blair, ;ent at Li Grande of the
Paetlic Coast Elevator Company, writes
t iat the report ot the origin of the hre were
erroneous in so far as it names the elevator
as the meeting place of the anti Chinese
agitators, and the Chinese as the incendiar
tea. Mr. Blair says be took no prt on
either side ot the Chinese affair; the agita
tors met in auother building owned by
otQer parties, and while the elevat r was
doubtless set on fire, he docs not think it
was done by Chinese.
News comes from Colfax that after three
days of fair weather, rain began descending
on Monday and has continued at intervals
ever since. It the storm keeps np the
d..mage will be serious. Many farmers
spread their stacks to ailow the sun to dry
the grain, and consequently the rains will
cause much damage in that respect, ihe
threshers were busy all day Sunday, how
ever, and many thousands ot bushels of
grain were sacked and stored, and thus
thousands of dollars were saved by the
Sunday labor.
Idaho Free Press: Heayy rains, winding
up with a fall ot wet, heavy snow, have
afflicted us every aay for the past two
weeks, and to say that great damage has
been inflicted is putting it mildly. One
half of the grain crop of the Prairie was
still uncut and it is now lying fiat on the
ground, ruined beyond recovery. It is the
most discouraging event eyer known since
the first settlement of the country. We
are not a calamity howler nor an alarmist
at midnight, bat the hardest times ever
ktiown on Camas Prairie are at hand and
the wise man will govern himself accord
mgly.

The oldest inhabitant has assumed hia
position on the street corner, and gives
forth his usual prophecy of a hard winter.
These prophesies are to be taken cum grano
talis.
In about two weeks, if the present fine
weather continue, threshing will be finished
in this county. It is not expected there
will be very much damage to grain on ac
count of rain.
: These beautiful autumn days are very
enjoyable. With morniogs cool and invig
orating, days bright and pleasant, the fall
of the year in this latitude is the most
agreeable season.
Snow in Baker City while in the vicinity

Eugene Presnott, a farmer' twelve miles
southwest of Colfax, shot twice and
seriously injured by his mother-in-law, Mrs.
J. M. Sutton. Oue ball passed tbrongb the
left shoulder and the other took effect in
the right side. Some time ago Prescott had
Mrs. Button arrested on a charge of inssn
lty, but the charge was cot sustained, and
the, court reprimanded Prescott severely tor
the accusations, which seemed to be the re
sult of a plot to get the old lady's property.
The two bave been bitter enemies ever
since. Jnst before the shooting Preccott
started across Mrs Sutton's field. She or
dered him back, bnt he persisted, anil she
fired. She is a widow. Her busbaud was

An important decision was rendered.
Wednesday, and contained in the Washing
ton dispatches of Oct 17. It was made by
the secretary of thi interior on the appeal
of James R. Daniel, inyolvmg the right to

pany were originally granted thu Nortnern
Pacihj Railroad Company, and that the
patents were without authority. He or
ders the institution of proceedings looking
to their cancellation.
Ex-Goyeroor Francis, of Missouri, in an
address said of the services to a community
of the home newspaper: "Each year the
local paper gives from $500 to $5000 in free
lines to the community in which it is lo
cated. No other agency can or will do
this. The editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for bis town than any ten
men, and in all fairness with men he ought
to be supported, not because you like him
Or admire bis writings, but because the lo
cal paper is thevbest investment a commun
ity can make. It may not be brilliantly
edited nor crowded with thoughts, but
financially it is of more benefit to a com
munity than a teacher or a preacher. Un
derstand me, I do not mean morally or in
tellectually, bnt financially, and yet on the
moral questiou yon will find most of the lo
cal papers on the right side. To-day the
editor of the home paper does more for the
least money than any other man on earth."

Great poverty is retorted in Western
Kansas. Many farmers families are a
ready suffering for the necessaries of life.
and hundreds don't know where they will
gee luel enougn to keep them from freezing

not all rich, but they certainly never have
anything of this kind to face.
Polk county will raise about 1.000.000
pounds of hops this year, wh-ch at 20 cents
will bring the neat sum of 9300,000 into the

would be if .very county had 1.000.000
pounds ot hops to market, and they could
just as easily have been raised here as else
where.

the train started np he attempted t board
it and slipped, falling with his right haud

From the Stevenson Pioneer we learn
that "Skamania county is not only coming
to the front with her rich agricultural laud
and vast timber belt, but is also receiving

wealth. Deputy Auditor Green reports
that there were sixteen mineral claims filed
for record last week. The mines are located
in the north end of the county about ten
miles from Mt. Adams. Fine specimens of
gold and silver bearing quartz have been
taken from them. It will only be a short
time until Skamania county will be known
for her mineral wealth."
The recorder had two cases before him
this morning. One came from Butte,
Mont., and the other lrotn Colfax. The
first said he was a railroad man, had been
out ot work for some time, harvested 59
days in Whitman county, but the farmer
could not get the money to pay him, and so
he didn'c have a cent. The other was a
piano player, and on account of being out of
work by reason of dull times was not pos
sessed of any money. He wanted to g-t to
Portland, where he could find employment
in some of the saloons. Both were dis
charged on the consideration that they
would leave town.

Fox valley last August. In the case ot the
State vs. Me! Dustin, charged with rape,
the grand jury returned not a true bill.
The report of John Ambrose having been
found guilty of manslaughter is wrong.
The grand jury returned a true bill at the
last term of the court, and he was arraigned
Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
HAKE ALWAYS LEADS.
At the recent session of the grand lodge,
K. of P., at Heppner, there was an unwrit
ten chanter of uroceedings outside the
hall which it would be well to put In
nrint. Among the delegates were Hon,
J. W. Hare, postmaster at Astoria, Hon
W. T. Hume, state senator from Multno
mah county, and Hon. Jeff Myers of Ma
rion county. This trio was worthy the
pencil of a Mark Twain, for if there was
anything funny or ludicrous they were
certain to take the lead ; but it seems that
Hare maiutained the lead, notwithstand
ing the astute faculties of the other two.
On Thursday evening, the W. C. T. U.
gave a suDDer. and these gentlemen were
present ana occupied the same table
Thev ate heartily from all the dishes set
before them and called for everything
that was on the programme. Myers and
Hume finished the meel first, and told the
blushing young lady who waited on them
that Mr. Hare would settle the bill, which
he did to the amount of $2. The Astoria
postmaster bore this very complacently;
but there was a slv twinkle in his eye
which indicated m'schief. Button-hole
bouauets on a table had been disposed of
for ten cents apiece, until only two re
mained, and these Mr. Hare informed the
ladies he would sell at public auction, he
himself acting as salesman. Mounting
the rostrum he began proclaiming the
beauties of the flowers, and the benevo
lent object for which they were being;
sold. Giving a wink to one ot the by
standers he started one at 25 cents, then
turning around to Hume, whom he de
scribed as the "Baby senator from Mult
nomah county" Hare raised the price to
50 cents; casting his glance towards-
Myers he named $1 as the bid, and so
continued until be was crying at the top
of his voice that the "Baby senator" bid
$2.50 for the bunch of flowers. Before
Hume could file a demurrer to the pro
ceedings or make out a bill of exceptions
the bouquet was knocked down to him at
the price named, and this without any
word or nod of the head coming from him
during the sale. Of course Mr. Hume is
a Knight, and could not be ungallant. So
he smilingly presented a five-dollar piece
to a beautiful young lady, who fumbled
around to make the change. "Nevermind
the change," says Hare. "Mr. Hume will
yet lie a candidate for congress, and $2 f0
is nothing to him when the worthy object
of the W. C. T. U. is taken into considera
tion. On behalf of the ladies, Mr. Hume,"
Hare continued, "I thank you for the lib
eral donation." Now Mr. Hare was
"quits" on Hume for the two-dollar sup
per, and Hon. Jeff Myers was yet to re
ceive his attention. The Democratic sen
ator from Marion is an unmarried gent'e
man,a veiilable lady killer,very suscepti -ble
to the "light that lies in woman's
eyes" and, without doubt tne little city ot
Heppner boasts of the most beautiful
girls in Eastern Oregon. On the rostrum,
either as a stump speaker or other voca
tion which requires the free use of lan
guage, Mr. Hare takes a front rank. There
was one bouquet remaining, and, follow
ing the tactics he did with Mr. Hume,
without a word or nod from Myers, he
knocked the bouquet down to him at $3.
Of course, although it might haye been
ultra vires, and he could haye entered a
general demurrer to the jurisdiction ol
the court, he did not ; for there were a
dozen smihng blue eyes centered on him,
and he capitulated, paid his three dollars
fortunately he had the change without
a murmur and was very happy in the
thanks tendered him by the ladies and by
Mr. Hare on their behalf. If woman
suffrage is ever successful in Oregon , the
vote of the young ladies of Heppner will
be given to Mr. Hume and Mr. Myers for
any office which the desire, and Mr,
Hare will be their choice, even
for president. The ' next day, Mr. Hare
was not at all backward in giving a his
tory of the whole proceedings, and point
ing to the button-hole bouquets worn by
Hons. W. F. Hume and Jeff. Myers,hetook
great interest in informing everyone that
they were the most expensive flowers in
Oregon, one bunch costing five end the
other three dollars. .The next grand
lodge meets in Portland, and it is safe to
say that if Mr. Hume or Mr. Myers desire
to play any practical jokes it will not be
c n Hon. J. W. Hare, of Aatona.
Albany,- Oregon. Their names are D. H.
Hunt, of California; Dr. Patterson, of Port
land, Oregon; and William White, oi Klam
math River, California. Hunt Lad 24
pounds of golddusti. White 12 pounds of
golddust, and Patterson 34 pounds of gold
dust. Mr. Hunt has a sister near Albany;
White has an uncle between Halsey and
Albany; Dr. Patterson's people live near
Portland. It is feared that they perished
in the storm; the snow storm setting in the
next day after they left for Canyon City.
They had only two days provisions with
them, and they must have perished. Pat
terson had only returned from the valley
two days before he left for Canyon City.
He had just sold a part of his mining claim
for a good price, and just received a letter
from an attorney to meet him in Albany on
business, and that was the cause of his un
dertaking to go through. He is very well
known in Oregon being a pioneer of 1852.
Hunt was a pioneer of California, in 1849,
White of 1856 in California. There has
been inquires in all directions and they
have not been heard from.

Albert Valentine Captured.
The boy Albert Valentine, who escaped
from the county jail a few days ago, was
captured at the Locks yesterday and again
given quarters in Hotel de Ward. On be
ing interviewed the boy said he desired to
see his mother, who lives about nine miles
from Portland and whom he has not seen
for two years, and thought be would avail
himself ot the flrst opportunity. The first
night he reached a point near Hood River,
built a fire and slept out. He said he rested
well and in the morning felt as spry as a
lark. Fruit was plentiful on the route,
and apples and peaches satisfied his hnnger
with the meals he procured at farm houses.
His second night he spent near the Cas
cades, and was walking into the town when
be was overtaken by Mr. Dry den, who in
quired if be knew T. A. Ward, to which
the boy answered in the negative. The
man told him that he might as well come
not squarely and acknowledge who he was,
and Valentine confessed and was taken to
Deputy Sheriff Barrett, who brought him
to The Dalles. For the whole distance the
boy followed the railroad track, and walked
every step. He feels somewhat tired from
his jaunt, and was not nearly in asgod
spirits as he was when in the confidence of
the janitor and other officials around the
court house.

Important Circular.
The following circular letter was received
by the land office in this city during the
week;
General Land Office, )
Washington, D. C, Oct. 14, '93 J
Register and Receiver, The Dalles Ore.:
Gentlemen; Referring to your letter ot
2d inst., transmitting application of
for repayor.ent of fees and commissions paid
ou homestead entry, No. , you are ad
vised that said entry wts cancelled upon re
linquishment, Oct. 2, 1893. N
The records ot this office show no conflict;
nor was the entry erroneously allowed, but
it appears that the relinquishment was a
yoluntary act on the part of the entryman.
The law governing the return of fees and
commissions does not provide for repayment
in cases where parties voluntarily relinquish
or abandon their entries. ' The application
is accordingly denied.
Very respectfully,
S. W. Lamobeux,
Commissioner.
A Ohinaman Stabbed.
A Chinaman by the name of Mow Hoy
was killed in a wash house in Pendleton
Tuesday everiTng. The following are the
facts as gleaned from the columns of the
East Oregonian: "Mow Hoy was a member
of the order of Chinese Masons. He had.
eight months ago, run a laundry in Adams.
Of late be had been in the employ of "Wnn
Sing, and the latter for some time back had
been nnablo to pay bim the wages due.
After the 'habitants' of the laundry had
disposed of their evening meal, Mow Hoy
renewed his demand for his money, and
Wun Sing, suddenly becoming enraged.

exclaiming in Cbiuese, Til pay you this

half inches wide, and five inches deep. The
doctor stated that had the point strnck

Hoy lived only a few minutes after the fatal
blow was struck.
The Amorican of Americans.
During these days of financial depression
there is no more lordly appearing person on
onr streets than the. natiye American he
who has thousands of ancestors back of him
-to tne manner oorn, and not the empiri
cal nationalist snob, the descendant of the
different races of Europe and who is puzzled
to answer correctly from what country his
grandfather or grandmother came. He
wraps his colored blanket around bim, and,
with his eyes to the heavens, he treads the
earth every inch a king. Before the Picts
and Scots invaded Britain, when the proud
and chivalric Normans were naked savages
in the wilds of Germany, wben the' Celts
dwelt on the shore of the Biltic, and Druid
altar3 reeking with the blood of human vic
tims were found in every grove in England,
this modern Indian roamed the wilds of
America, "monarch of all be surveyed
vvnen oaxons, rranas and ueits bowed in
submissive slavery to the eagles of the
Csezars this proud North American acknowl
edged no king nor ruler, except the chief of
his tribe, and roamed unmolested over
prairies and forests, going and coming at
the volition of his own will. He has never
passed under the yoke to conquerors, and is
as free to-day as he was before the idea of a
western route to India took possession of
the mind of Columbus. Silver or gold does
not disturb the peace and quiet of his mind,
and, if contentment is bliss he enjoys a per
petual paradise. With all the Anglo Saxon's
pride of race, he has not snch an unblem
ished record in regard to freedom as the un
tutored savage of this country.
A Novel Sight.
VTbe novel sight was presented on the
streets this morning of a woman, tolerably
well dressed, in appearance intelligent and
respectable, with a boy about ten or twelve
years old in ber company, begging for funds
to take ber to Spokane, where ahe claimed
her husband resides; but from whom she
has not heard for some time. She was
about 30 or 35 year old, and said she had
been sick in Portland for some time past,
and was just able to make the journey.
The citizens of The Dalles are, without ex
ception, hospitable; but there are certain
elements connected with this case which
are not consistent with honesty of motives.
If she has not heard from her husband for
some time, and she sick for several weeks,
it is not at all likely she will meet with an
affectionate welcome if perchance she meets
him in Spokane. She literally took in the
eity in a wholesale manner, and slighted no
place, saloons or blacksmith shops. There
is commendable virtue in relieving distress
in whatever chape it mav appeal to ns; but
in helping humbugs we ail deception and
help those who prey on the community.

Albany Herald.
We are in receipt of the following com
munication:
Weekly Herald, of Albany, ' Oregon:
Will you give room in yonr columns for
publishing in regards to three men who left
here on the 12th of September, to go to
Canyon City, from the headquarters of John
Day river mines. On account of provisions
being scarce they started with the full de
termination of going through to winter in
Boy Tramps.
There were two boys picked up on our
streets yesterday afternoon, who require
more than a passing notice, and who should
elict the sympathy of all humanitarians in
this city. They cave the names of Charles
and Frank Williams, aaed 12 aud 13 years,
and have traveled across the continent from
Chicago. The elder has his right foot am
putated and walks on a crutch. Iu conver
sation with thorn this morning the yonuger
informed a reporter of the Times-Mount-aineeb
that both parents were dead, the
father dying about two years ago, and the
mother about five months since.. They are
boot-blacks, and on the death of their
mother they took the train tor the far west
to meet an only brother, who is working
in a railroad shop in Portland. Railroad
men were kind to them and passed them on
the road from one station to another. They
are not criminals now;: but without some
care is taken of them, circumstances will
force them to do something which . may
place them in jail or the penitentiary. Our
county judge was consulted in the matter,
and without a doubt they will be sent to
the boys' and girls' home in Portland. This
is the proper place for them, where they
will receive proper instructions regarding
their' morals and be taught some nseful
trade.
Instruction in Musio.
In response to the solicitations of a goodly
number of citizens of The Dalles, 1 have
decided to remain in the city through the
winter, and hereby offer to those interested
in music my services as instructor in both
vocal and instrumental music. Am prepared
to use French, Ita'ian or German methods.
Can give the very best of references. For
terms and particulars as to time and place,

or Mr. Geo. W. Rowland.

Grand Dalles Again.
The fake on the other side of the river
still lives in the minds of some eastern
people, and the following letter was re
ceived in tbis city yesterday from a person
residing at Smith's Ferry, Beaver county,
Penn. :
Please (?ive information in regard to price
of lots in Grand Dalles on Washington side
of Columbia riyer. , '
Is irrigation nejessary to grow crops? If
you cannot give the desired information,
please give the address of some of Grand
Dalles syndicate. I noticed in an article in
the Ohio Farmer that one gentleman of the
syndicate resided in The Dalles; bnt gaye
no name or address. My object is to locate
in a climate where the winters are not so
long and severe. Yours truly,
N V
For the benefit of the person we will I
state that Grand Dalles is dead yery dead.
It lived a disgraceful existence, died an ig
nominious death, and is buried deep in ob.
loguy. There never was the least merit to
tne land-booming scheme, and nothing re
mains of it now but two or, three unoccu
pied shells of buildings. "It was coooeived
in sin and shspeoed in iniquity," and its life
was governed by fraud and deception at
eyery step.
Shot by Burglars.
W. W. Statesman.
A dispatch was received from Pullman
to-day by Blackman Bros., of this city,
giving news of the burglary of their store
in that place last night and the shooting
of their clerk, A. B. Cooper,- while en
deayoring to defend the property of his
employers. Particulars are very meagre,
but it seems that Cooper occupied a room
in the rear of the store. He was awak-
enect about 1 o'clock a. it. by a noise in
the store, and was confronted by burglars,
who covered him with their pistols.
Showing a disposition to resist, he was
shot down. The result of his wounds
have not yet been telegraphed, but it is
supposed they were latal.
Cooper came to Walla Walla from the
east last winter, and was employed by
Blackman Bros., to clerk in their store at
Pullman. Mr, McKeen, a partner, went
to Pullman on Saturday last and was
there wben the tragedy occurred. He
will return this evening on the 7:10 train.
