1 the Victim of the Pendleton Fire
Identified Battle In Central Amer
ica Durrrnt Will be Tried
With Twelve Juror.
Seattle. Aug. 0. A long-standing
feud in Samisn, SKagit county, ended
this mormine in a savac-e battle, in
which aix men were injured, two of
them perhaps fatally. The quarrel
arose between Edward tfaldwin, a sa
loon-keeper, who has recently started
a ferrv from Samish to Edison, and A.
Wheeler, who occasionally worked for
J. W. White, owner 01 tne terry wbicn
has been run nine for several rears,
White was at work on the beach be
low the bluff, on which his house is
located, and Wheeler was on the front
porch. Baldwin and his followers
came up and began abusing Wheeler
in a threatening manner, ano w neeier
called White. Then Baldwin and bis
followers left. Wheeler and White
started for the warehouse on the wharf.
when Baldwin. Ozro Perkins, L. Toop
and A. Worden appeared and followed.
The approach to the warehouse is
lone and at the left 1m a stairway lead-
ins' down to the small boats. White
started down this stairway to his sloop,
and Wheeler continued toward the
warehouse. Here he was overtaken
by Baldwin. Perkins and Toop, and
the fight began. It cannot be detinitelv
learned who fired the first shot. When
the smoke cleared away Wheeler, was
injured and attempted to escape around
the warehourse, but was overtaken, his
pursuers beating him in a brutal man
ner, ue made another attempt to es
cape, running avoung to the door 01
the warehouse, and falling as Whar
finger Dean appeared at the door.
Meanwhile White had climed to the
wharf and was going to Wheeler's res
cue, when be was strucK on tne read
with an iron bar by Worden and fell
unconscious. W heeler's pursuers were
driven off by Wharfinger Dean, but re
peatedly renewed their attacks with
the intention of finishing the victim;
alno threatening the wharfinger unless
he deainted from interfering. Wheeler
was shot and kicked and beaten
after
falling, and it is due to Wharfingers
Dean's firmness that he is now alive.
AFFAIRS IN WEaTERK CHINA.
Missionaries Driven Down the Yang-Tae-
Nkw YOBK, Aug. 9.-i-nev. Dr. John
Anderson, attached to the China in
land mission in west China, is here
on his way back to his mission work.
The China Inhtnd Society, having
headquarters in London, has about 500
workers in China. It is unsectarUn.
Dr. Andervon said today:
"My cable advices from Cheng Tu.
the capital of the province of Sechuen,
in western China, are that all but one
of the 10U or more missionaries of the
various societies have been driven
down th" Yang-tse-Kiang. The
trouble must have come suddenly. At
Cheng Tu. belonging to our mission,
were Mr and Mrs. Granger and family,
Mrs. Cormuck, Miss Hols and Mis
Riley and a Scotchman named Vail,
the only missionary now remaining in
that region. At Yah Choo we had no
people, but tbe American Baptists
were represented there.
At Choon Jung, on tne xang-tse-
Kiang. in the same province, there
art. four mLtsions ours, the Methodist,
the London missions, the Ft ench and
the Scotch Bible : Society. The place
baa about 500,000 inhabitants and nas
a British vice-consul. Our people
there are Mr. and Mrs-Willa. I do
not know what has be' ime of those
who have fled from Ch ng Tu. They
are prob:ibly seeking pvinta of safety
along the river."
Sitnatioa Alarming.
MASON CITY, la.. Aug. 9. Bishop
Thorbourn. the missionary birhop of
the Methodist Episcopal church, was
interviewed last night relative to the
massacre of the Christians in China,
and. knowing all about the conditions
there, he pronounces the situation
verv alarming. He. is fearful that a
general slaughter will soon follow. 1
He looks for China to attempt to kill
.a,?eS..HS i
" . Y. ".T ,Vvs j"7 r" :r
as to what should be done, be said the j
European powers should at once put a
strong armed force at the principal
porta of China and tbe nation should
be taken by the throat and made to
behave. What is true of China, he.
says, is true of Turkey.
Bat Twelve Jurors.
San Francisco. Aug. 9. The dis
trict attorney has decided to try. Theo
dore Durrant for murder with 12 jurors
instead of securing 14. as at first con
template. The managing and city
editors of the Chronicle and Examiner
were in court this morning to plead to
the charge of contempt of court . in
publishing interviews with sworn
jurors in the ease. Judge Murphy
ignored their presence, however, and
proceeded with the examination of
jurors. .
BUT FOl'B LOST THEIR LIVES. :
The Bodies of all Those Burned Have
Been Recovered. .
Pendleton, Or.. Aug. 9. The mys
tery regarding the number of persona
burned in tbe fire Wednesday night
baa been cleared by Night Clerk .Wil
son, of the Trant-fer bouse, discovering
that be made a mistake in registering
the guest. He wrote J. D. Taylor, In
Bleaxl of J. L. U'ilton. Tilton is here,
and Taylor is thus proven an imagi
nary man. This leaves four men to be
accounted for. all four bodies having
been recovered.
At the txpKt- oflicewus found tid:iy
a telescope vlie. rent from the Cas
cade looks to t'endleton hy George H.
Clackings. It was examined, and l-.
side were found envelopes addressed
to him at tbe t'ascade Lo-'ks and a
silk badge of the lodge of Knights of
.Pythias at the Lo--k. A telegram
was received here by the' Elks lodge,
inquiring if Clackings. tbe secretary
ot the Cascade Locks Elks' lodge, was
burned in tbe fire. No doubt remains
now that Cla -kings was from the
Locks and a member of these orders.
A man named Graham was also
found, who said he came to Pendleton
with Clackings who. had money to
Invest in some business, if he found a
suitable opening. "
The coroner's verdict was such as to
warrant the officers . to arrest Fred
Allison, who allowed Frank Breding
to burn in the baek room of the aatoon
without making An effort to aave him.
His examination Recurs this afternoon
pa the charge of criminal neglig. mte.
!The story about the baby burning
has beed proven untrue. . There 1-s
also no truth in the report that a, man
was see daring th fir' lying U the
hotel in a pool of blood. The reborts
were started on account" of Bettlnger
being seen on the sidewalk after leap
ing irom a window close to the names.
Whether the .fire was Incendiary Is
ye. unknown. -

KILLED Bit FATHER.
Probably
Doable Tragedy
Yakima.
at North
North Yakima. Au t. 12. Charles
McGonigle, a man 30 years old is in
jail in this citv: his father is a corpse,
and Blacksmith Eaves is at the point
ot death: all the result 01 an aspersion
of the character of Eaves' daughters
by young McGonigle. The shooting
occurred late last night, and the cor
oner "s Jury this morning investigated
it at the McGonigle' ranch, seven
miles from the city, and brought in a
verdict charging the young man witn
killing bis father.
The facts are that Lnaries MCGoni-
gle had told the neighbors that, in his
behalf, tbe Eaves girls were not virtu
ous, and bad further ordered his
adopted sister to have nothing to do
with them. He had also caused to oe
printed in a local paper a story reflect
ing upon the character of the Eaves
girls. Mr. Eaves. Sunday night, drove
to the McGonigle ranch, distant some
two miles, to have a retraction. He
was accompanied by his wife and one
of his daughters. Upon nearing the
bou.se he saw Charles McGonigle. and
i eullt
,
stand by any remarks he bad
wouia
made.
The Eaves family alighted
: from the wagon and entered tbe gate
' together. MiKionigle ran. The Eaves
people went to the house, knocked,
and were invited in. Tbe wife and
daughter entered, Mr. Eaves remain
ing on the stoop, in front of the door.
He talked a moment or so: said he
, came to see Charles, and refused to
enter, and stepped off the stoop. Old
man McGonigle came round the corner
of the house at this moment. Eaves
approached him and pat his hand on
McGonigle's shoulder in a friendly
way, and said he had come to see why
Charles had circulated scandals about
his daughters. A rifle at the rear at
this time cracked, and McGonigle fell
and died in a few minutes; shot through
the intestines. Eaves fled into the
house and extinguished the light.
Charles advanced to the house door,
and, seeing Miss Eaves In a room
said:
"What are you doing there?" 1
He then fired at her, but she stepped
aside, and the bullet struck Eaves in,
the groin. Eaves fired a small revol
ver at Charles, but missed. The lat-
ter then went to a neighbor's bouse
and gave himself up, saying be had
shot bis father accidentally.

tional developments were promised - in
the Transfe- House fire- case, and they
have come. Hints have been given
that the authorities-suspected that
murder and robbery were features ' of
the tragedy. - Today a charge of mur
der was laid at the door of two young
men. Frank Whetstone and C. Moore,
known as "Kid" Moore, were arrested
the day following the fire, and held for
the larceny of a chunk of melted gold
from the debris of the hotel, obtained
while raking the ashes; The state
caused a continuance from day to day,
until today, when the larceny charge
was dismissed and the prisoners were
immediately rearrested on a complaint

evidence was carefully gathered, by
District Attorney Lawrey and Sheriff
Houser. The examination will take
place tomorrow. The announcement
of the arrests created intense excite
ment. The trial will be one of tbe
most important ever conducted in the
state. Clacking, who was a guest at
the hotel, and was burned in the fire,
came from Cascade Locks, and was a
member of the Knights - of Pythias

other man."
