A Case Without a Parallel-
The following Is a peculiar ease lu which
a man may be guilty of murder under the
laws of one state and acquitted under those
of another:
"it may be safely said that the case of
the state against Hall, in North Carolina,
in an opinion of the supreme court juat I
bild, has had no parallel. Deputy Sneritf
Hall, standing juss on -this aide of the line,
tired aod kit eil Andrew Robinson, a prison
er who was eacalt-g into Ttnueaaee. Hall
was tried and convicted of muider iu North
Ctrolina. l)i his api al this was reversed
that in contemplation of the law Hill was
in Tennessee when the killing waa done.
He was then arrested aod held as a fugitive
from justice. Thegveroor of Tennessee
sent for Hall on requisition. Hall applied
for a discharge, but Judge H dow refused to
discharge him. Ue then applied to the su
preme ccurt and the court, by a majoiity of
one, decided he n.Ust be di.-ohargeil, be-cau-e
not having been in Tennessee at the
time o the killing be caunot be a fiigitiv
from iustice. Justice McBiw i J ns in the
dissent ob the ground that if in enntem
plation of the law Hall was in Tennessee at
the time of ihj killing, so that be cannot
be tried in the courts of North Carolina in
the same contemplation of law, he muat be
a fugitive from justice, for be cannot no
be founJ in Tennessee but in Worth Caro

Mr. and Mrs. French will open a three
nights' engagement at the opera house
on next Monday evening. Mrs. Eva
Earl French, the popular eoubretta,
will make her first appearance before a
Dalles audience in the character of Bes
si Fairfax in "The GolJen Giant." The
comedy of the play Is crisp, the situa
tion strong and the etoy interesting,
clustering around the possession of a
mine which two old miners have discov
ered. One of them is murdered by hiB
partner and the dead man's wife comes
on to establish her claims, but finds that
the partner is prepared with falsehoods
to defend tbe claim as his entire prop
erty. He brands the wife as an adven
turess and makes life generally miserable
for her. but her cause ia espoused by a
generous-hearted miner, an old friend of
tbe dead man, who proves a friend to
the widow and through it all, and finally
secures both widow and fortune. A side
story relating to tke love of a gambler
and the miner's sister is also Introduced,
but the big brother interferes and will
not hear of it, Time preves that the
gambler is not as black as painted and
in the end he marrios her. The rascally
swindler who attempted to defraud the
widow out of the mine meets his death
at the hands of the brother of the man
whom he had murdered, and the curtain
falls on a pleasing and natural denouement.

Pistol river Wednesday, that stream be

boat with him, and, in order to save
themselves, the men bad to turn the
horse .loose. They reached the north
bank Bafely, after a hard pull. The horse
swam back to the south shore, but could
not make a landing, and would have
been drowned but for the Ismert girls,
who saw the occurrence, and, going to
the river, managed to get the ho-se
ashore. Mr. Crook endeavored to get
back to tbe south shore with the boat,
but missed the landing, and was drifting

Duxing the last few days a Chinook wind
has been playmg havoc with the snow in
Sherman county, and, we learn from Mr.
C. M. Grimes, the ottt'e buyer, who re
tamed from a trip through that county
yesterday, that the oongealed element is
rapidly disappearing. Ia places there are
pools of water, and a large portico of the
fall grain is exposed. This is very discour
aging to fanners, as frost will cause the
ground to "heave," and tha wheat will be
killed.. All over that county the people are
desiring more snow, as this will protect tbe
grain and insure crnps tbe next season.
List year Sherman county harvested good
oropa, but the market price did not reim
burse them ior their labor, and from pres
ent indications, witbont there Is a change,
their planting and sowiog last fall will be
fruitless.
