At several points it was impossible
to make landings with out endanger

pile driver is built was sunk by the
high wind which caused tbe boat to
rock to such an extent that it dipped
water and went under alongside of tbe

brought up from points down the

F. W. Wilson, a lumberman from
The Dalles, is registered at the Bel

evenings Telegram is a revelation.
While we know that the young at

L last soring has returned home,
having been discharged on account of
injuries received by an accident, on
board of the trausport last-June. Ho
is at present forced to use crutches in
order to move around. . At the time
of the accident his injury was con
sidered trival, but the warm climate
irritated the same, and it was neces
ary for him tOTelurn .
As yet no appointment has been
made of a successor to Archbishop
Gross in the Archdiocese! of Oregon,
and those interested in church -circles
are wondering who will .be called to
fill the vacancy. An . eastern paper
recently published a rumor that Bishop
Christie, of Vancouver Island ' would
receive the appointment,' but as yet
nothing definite can be said in the
matter As Bishop Christie has not
received any n ws of his -appointment
it is thought the rumor is groundless.
It appeared for a short time this
morning that we were .about to have.
another touch of winter weather. A
considerable amount of snow fell and
tbe temperature was considerably
'solder than for tbe 'past few days.
The warm ground caused every ves
tige of snow to disappeir however and
towaids noon the clouds cleared, the
sun came out bright and warm, and
wa enjoyed one of those balmy East
ern Oregon afternoons in - spite of tbe
tbreatsoing aspect of tbe weather in
tbe morning.

has secured the services of Miss Su9ie

authority on this art..-; She will give
manv oractical hints in this matter
which cannot be overlooked by any
housewife. A cook stove will be set
up on the" stage of the opera house so
that she will not only be able to tell
how it should be done, but also con

cold weather did considerable damage
to tbe fall grain. ' Farmers iu that

The Davidson Fruit company of
Hood River are building a cannery
building 30 by 80 feet, twr story, with
a basement under half of tbe building.
Tne first floor will be occupied as a
work room and offices, and tbe upper
story will be made into a steam fruit
drier as soon as it. is learned that
enough fruit has escaped, the frost" to
warrant a large evaporator. An ad
dition will be made to the present size,
before tbe canning season, appears, for
a process room. It is hoped that a
sufficient variety, of fruit will be
planted to keep this , establishment
running the full season. It; would be
well if someone in the vicinity of The.
Dalles would profit by the example of
the Htod River company and put in a
like plant to handle tbe large amount
of fruit which goes to waste here every
season. -: . . . ? v
Yesterday evening Neil Paulsen
who works in Maier A Benton Hard
ware store met with an accident which
might have resulted far more seriously
than it proves to be from present in
dications. He was filling ao. inch and
a quarter pipe with molten lead for
the purpose of making a weight to be
used on the Regulator when for some
reason the boiling fluid exploded and
the hot metal shot up towards the
ceiling and literally covered him. A
large amount of the same striking bim
in the face especially on the forehead
painfully burning him.1 The lead
burned into his clothing,' and he was
literally studded with leaden particles.
Or. Hollister attended to bis injuries
and he is getting along as well as
could be expected although his injuries
are pai..f .1 and may prevent bim
from resuming work for a considerable
time. It is thought that tbe pipe , be
ing very cold caused the hot metal to
explode as it is not likely that any
water could have come in contact with
the-rama .'
A Verdict of Not Unlit? Brought In Lwt
Tnesdajr Bight.
The pleading in what was considered
one of tbe most important criminal
cases that has ever come before the
circuit court in this section was opened
by prosecuting Attorney Jayoe at 2:45
Tuesday afternoon and for almost
two hours he discussed tbe case from
the side of the prosecution, in as able
and eloquent a manner as he has ever
been heard to plead. He left no stone
unturned in his speech to lay the
points before the jury.
At 4:30 H. S. Wilson began address
ing the jury, and presented numerous
forcible arguments in behalf of the de
fendant. His argument closed at
6 o'clock, and before .7:30, the time set
for X- PJkIays.and As.'. S-.Be'pnettlo
make their pleas, .'it. was necessary to
close tbe doors and admit no one as
tbe court room was already packed
Both attorneys, Mays and Bennett,
plead as earnestly as two men could.
and the large audience listened breath
lessly to their convincing arguments..
Seldom in tbe history of this district
does a case of such an . interesting
nature come before the court or ooe
that arouses so much feeling and It is
equally seldom that four attorneys., de
liver such strong, convincing, forcible
and logical pleas as were made : Tues
day. . : '
At about 11:40 Judge Bennett fin
ished and fifteen minutes later the jury
were charged and sent to their room,

an agreement, ana- wnen tney

room and the clerk, read the verdict,
Frank- Forester,- tbe'slayer of Phillip
Brogan. was officially declared a free
man. ......
During the afternoon and evening,
during the time that the attorneys for
the state were pleading, Forester had a
distressed expression on his face -and
appeared as if a lump was continually
ising in bis throat. - "His - wife was
seated aloneside and slightly to the
rear of her husband, and broke into
tears at various times when anything
was said that touched her. The de
fendant held his iittle boy on his knee
the Greater part of the afternoon and
evening, as he did .the- greater part -of
the time during the trial.
While he bore up fairly well, it
was plain that he feared the result and
when he was brought to ' hear - the
verdict last night an expression of
almost fear was on his face and he
trembled - violently even when -the
countv clerk read the. verdict not
guilty. For a moment he sat like a
statue seemingly unable to believe his
ears for what he heard.

charging him with assault and battery.
one with carrying a concealed weapon
and one with assault with a dangerous
weapon. - Tbe cases will be heard in
Recorder' Gates' court next Tuesday at

a trouble between Receiver ..Patterson
and Postmaster Croasen that occurred
in C. J. Stubling's saloon on Wednes
day evening. "' It appears that Patter
son and Crossen had had some words
in "the pdstomce during' the day, Mr,
Crossen having ordered Mr. Patter

to meet in the saloon that evening,
when bot words passed between them

' TSome one informed Eobert' 'J. F.
C6pelan.dx;of 'this . city, that holding a
Manila, Feb. 23. With, daylight
this morning the enemy began worry
ing tactics at various parts of the Amer
ican line, apparently for the purpose
of withdrawing attention from affairs
in the city.'. - An attempt ' was-' made
to rush through our extreme left near
Calpcan, but it was promptly checked
by a hot and effective musketry and
artillery fire. In the meantime small
bodies of robels, evidently some of
them engaged last night in the cow
ardly work at Tondo, spread out be
tween the city and the outposts. Ev
ery available man was sent to drive
them away, with the result that there
was desultory firing all morning.
From 8 o'clock until 10. a. m. the
monitor Monadaock participated - in
the engagement, hurling 10-inch shells
over tbe American lines into. bodies of
the enemy, as Indicated by the signal
corps. v ,
At 11 o'clock there were sharp en
gagements at tbe Chinese . cemetery
and San Pedro Macati almost simul
taneously, but the artillery fire from
both positions drove -the enemy back.
trota the hih towers' of the city
tires can be seen burning at different
points outside. Some of these are
probably due to the-Monad nock's
shells. -
It is currently reported that the na
tives have threatened to born Escola-
to and the walled city tonight. Scores
of rebels have been arrested In the
Tondo district. A band of 60 rebels
having two carloads of arms' and ac
coutrements was' captured in a house.
Business is temporarily suspended.
Fire has burned in Tondo district all
day. The rebels between the city and
the outposts are being smoked out this
afternoon and being driven toward the
beach.
sharpshooters at various parts of
the line are very annoying, but other
wise there has been no further excite
ment since the frustration of the morn
ing attack. .
Lieutenant Eugene S. French, of
company L, First Montana volunteers,
and Private Oscar Fel ton, South Da

other Dakotans were killed.

Another Pleasant Danolns Party Given at

: There is probably hot another town
oa the coast that has had more and
pleasanter dancing parties than The
Dalles1 has had during the past ten
days. The dancing season is rapidly
nearing an end' and every one seems
anxious to enjoy it as much as possible
before it is to late.
: The onejgiven Wednesday in the

people was indeed "enjoyable, and . as
nothing could be done to iacrease the
pleasure of the guests was over-looked
It is unnecessary to say that all bad a

McNeil acted, as dispenser of bever
ages afad in.' his " artistic and genial
fashion dealt out cooling drinks to
those present.
' The dancing continued until past
midnight when the merry dancers bid
one another good night with' hopes
that- this would not be the last of the
season. -.Those in attendance- were:,..

' Considerable uneasiness has been
felt concerning the condition of fruit

"You mean -tihey are more eensible

glasses and balancing them on his fore

was a boy I ihad a great talent for
music. I could rennenxbcr almost any

mouth-harp. - And draw pictures?
Many is the picture I lave drawn. So

"How unfortanate that you couldn't

' "No a bit of it; not a bit of it. I was

don't have common sense. Now, I was

although the winter was very severe
in that section there was comparatively
no loss of stock among the sheep men.
They all had an abundance of hay and

feeding in December and continued
until the first of this week, when he
turned his flocks on tbe range, the

supply them with all the feed they
needed. He says tbe loss of sheep in
