They secured their outfit in Spokane,

cook. They proceeded by twin to Ken

was b way of Snel 's MtU, WHppe,

as the Indian postoffiVrs. 55 miles from
Mussel SlK-li r.rrck At lhis point a trail
branches from the Lo L trail, and leads
to the warm springs on the Clearwater
river. The destination of the party was
reached September 26 Although it
rained steudi'y for thirteen days, which
interfered considerably with the pleas
ure of hUDt:ni;, the party met with great
success, and on October 10 started on the
return trip ov r the Lo Lo trail. After
rearhing the lop ol the Brat ridge par

one- hall teet of snow was found, and tbe
guide-estimated that tbe snow would be
four feet deep on the higher portions of

London, Dec. 1 Advices from Rio

Dated. He is today engaged in repairing
dangerous breaches in tbe forts sod
earthworks ashore. The dispatch con
taius a report that Mello lelt Rio with i
portion of his fleet to intercept vessels
coming to Peizoto's aid. There was some
desperate fighting between tbe rebel
ships and tbe forts at tbe entrance to tbe
harbor as Mello tiied to get out. Tbe
fire of the forts was well directed, and
Mello succeeded in getting past only af
ter his flagship bad been severely dam
aged. ODce outside be (teamed south'

ruse, and that tbe admiral changed bis
caurse as soon as out of sight. - It it re.
ported that Mello is not scared at the re-
ported power 01 the djuamite gun on
Doard one ot the vessels of tbe relieving
squadron. He todk with bim a Dumber

A aiardecer Hanged.
Astoria, Dec. i John Reiier, the
murderer of Victor Snellmao, was banged
promptly at noon today. He read in a
firm voice a conlession acknowledging
tbe justice of bis sentence. ! -
Just before the trap fell, a large nnm-.
berof sheriffs from different parts ol tbe
state and about 500 invited citizens from
tbe city and county were admitted withi
in tbe inclosure and saw the haDsinb,
which went off all right.
He ascended tbe steps of the gallows
unaided and was given a few minutes'
time in which to say a lew words to the
spectators. In firm tones be said: "I
acknowledge my guilt of tbe crime for
am about to suffer death, the1
of tbe sentence and tbe impartial -
lty ot the judge and jury. I have to
thank Sheriff Smith and his deputies for
their kindness. . I forgive everybody. I
hope tbat I may myself be forgiven, and
that all will pray for me."
Toward the end of his remarks tbe
paper which he held trambled slightly,
but beyond this do a;gn of faintness was
visible until Sheriff Smith began to pin
ion him. Be i ore this operation was com
pleted be had to be supported. '
The straps were arranged with remark
able celerity and dexterity and the rope
adjusted in a few minutes. No time was
lost, and as the sheriff completed the -ad'
jDstment he lifted bia hand and the trap
fell. Reiter's neck was dislocated and
lile was pronounced extinct in min
utes. The body was not cut down un'il
16 minutes after tbe drop.
San Francisco, Deo. 2 Mrs . Fryer,
belter knewa as Pauline Cushmau, the
noted female scout of the civil war, died
today from the effects of a dose of mor
phine, which she took during last night.
but whether accidentally or with suicidal
intent has not been determined. Mrs. K.
Taylor, landlady of tbe lodcicg -house
where Mrs f ryer'died, said this after
noon that Mrs. Fryer had been in ber
bouse for three years. She believed tbe
fatal dose was accidentally taken, as tbe
deceased had suffered Irom rheumatism,
and had been in'tue habit of taking mor
phine to ease her pains. Mrs. Fryer's
only income was petition money received
on account f services of her first bus
bund, Charles D.ckini-orj. She had a
second husband, Jerry Fryer, from whom
he bad been separated for some time.
Paulino Cushman, the deceased, bad been
widely celebrated, on account oi ber ser
vices during 'the war.

this season having been large and haystacks
are numerous. Generally the stockmen
are prepared to feed from two to three
months, and if Gilliam county losses any
thing by the winter, other loca itiea that

losses.

preacher, had been holding revival meet
ings at Columbus tor several days past,
and that evening went to Grants to bring
his sister over to the service. The time
for his arrival at tbe meeting bad elapsed
and he made no appearance, aod serious
appreoensions were felt that the boat had
capsized in crossing the Columbia and
that both were drowned. A vigilant
search was made until about midnight
when both parties were fouud at a farm
houe a few miles down the river, where
tbey bad drifted in their boat during a

A Dastardly Outrage.
Albany Herald.
A dastardly outrage waa committed by
some unknown miscreant Wednesday night
at tha residence of Mr. Walter B. Peacock,
from which he and his mother narrowly
escaped suffocation.
Mr. Peacock and his mother, an elderly
lady, reside in tbe eastern part of the city.
Wednesday night Mr. Peacock remained
late at the store, and bis mother went to a
neighbor's to stay nntil he returned. About
10 o'clock ho went to ths neighbor's house
and accompanied his mother home. On en
tering the bouse thay were mat with some
thing supposed to be the stiffing odor of
chloroform, aud his mother was overcome
by it She screamed for help aqd ber cries
attracted the attention of tho neighbors.
Mr. Peacock, fearing that the miscreant
was in hiding near by, fired several shots
from a revolver, which brought a number of
men to the place. It is thought tbat the
deadly drug had been injected through the
keyhole, evidently with a syringe, and no
doubt with the insane idea that tbe inmates
could be overcome for ths purpose of mur
der or robbery, or both. Suspicion points
to tbe party who committed the dead, and
tha police will keep tha suspect uadar close
survailance.
Mr. Peacock's lift has bean laUly threat
ened and tha polios think this may throw
some light on Wednesday night's outrage.
