It will be remembered by our readers that wo chron icled the particular! of a fiaeas that oc curred in Indian Valley, about n month ago, between Win.

The dtllh-ulty between the two men culminated bit-t Monday by the killimr of Legorc by Dennett, The particulars, n. ncur us we can learn are as follows: Le ftore and hi wife. ft add in a wngon. were driving home from iii- mothers', and when passing by Bennett . houe. aliont B o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Iegore discovered Dennett approaching the wufton. with Hgiin in his hands, and senmf that it was Ids in tention to shoot, cried to him to not do so, her husband in the meantime attempting to drop into the wagon box, but before In succeeded in doing so Dennett fired, the hall striking Legure in the upper portion of the right hi cast, ninginu downward aiiil coming out at the back, Lee-ore fell in the wagon box, but after a while was carried to the home near by, where he died four hour later, being conscious up to the time of his death.

The people of that -eetion were terribly ex -ited over the all'idr, and doubtless would have made short work of Ilcnnett lud they got bold of him.

To say that ihc water i "hot" hur.llv dona justice to it. It conies boilinjf from the earth, and forms a lake several hundred yards in circum frence, highly impregnated with mineral ot various Kimls, and possessing medicinal and heding nroiiurties to a remarkable de gree, as is vouched for by many who have tested 11. .Mr. ftcivhnrit and Wite. nronrie tors of the plac", keep a small but neat and comfortable hotel' where those who desire to stop awhile and try the curative quail ties ot the water, can he accomodated. Hot cold ami mud baths are furnished on ap plication, and no pains are spared to make the gnosis comfortable; but all this how ever, is on a small scale. We venture to predict that before many years mammoth hotels will lie erected at tns place, surroun ded oy t.istelully arranged pleasure grounds and hundreds of invalids fiom other states, lured by judicious advertisements, will dock thither in search of health and strength, and will not be disappointed in their search. This spring is certainly a wonderful fivul; of nature, and hi time will acquire mi almost national reputation. A Xatuuai. t'oxci.r&ios. Dr. ISiggers, as everyone know-, has very decided opinions on political mutters, and docs not hesitate occasionally, when his verbal arguments fail ti convince, to put them in straight from the .shoulder. Oneday this week be got into a controversy with a grand iirmv man on thj- orbrin of the rebellion, which resulted in .several chairs ami articles of furniture being demolished. Peace w:n re stored, however, and a few hours later Hilly Wilson, who was very busy at the time, got the grand army man to go down to his residence and get'a gun that he wanted. The doctor, at the time was seated in front of the Centennial hotel, telling one of his best storrie.- ton lot of friends, when he dis covered the grand army man coining up the street with n gun in hjs hands, lie wasn't slow in dr-iiving his own conclusions, and cutting the story short oil", he lit out of thnt in a hurry. The deductions arrived at by the doctor, in a necessarily hurried sum ming up of the mat'er, was probably nat ural enough, but the boys have lots of fun at his expense, all the same, Tun Salvation Arm v. This "army" .struck Uiilni on the 3rd inst. It consisted of Major General Hoyles, Colonel Iloyles, and one female, high private. After reeon noitering and skirmishing around consider ably, the "army'' took up its quarters at the hotel of Rev. Itoothe, and proceeded to lay on its arms preparatory to the morrow's light. Kucli member of tlio "army" were placed in separate rooms by t be genial and accomodating lundlortl, anil everything was quiet along the Potomac till along In thu early hours of the morning, when the reve lie was sounded, (and the landlord was rousing everybody from their slumbers to partake of their morning refreshments, lie then discovered that the "uriny" had consolidated during tin nieht and wore all rostiug in the sume bed. It is needless to say that the irate landlord make a rluuk movement on the "army" and that it ovue uatod its position suddenly. Shortly after wards it withdrew from the city, and wo es caped n most annoying seige. May its march bo unimpeded till it gets entirely out of the country. New Staob Link.

The Denver Kepublienn of June 2ot(l. contains the following letter: CoitwL'Cot'iA, Oregon, June 18. Being a citizen nml lObident of Denver tinil u constant reader of (In Tribune-Kepulilie tin Miioc the eon.joli dution of tho two paper?, I beg you t trtiil. mo u short space in your value able paper to enable me to introduce to the notice of some of your niiniuj. fiibficribei'8 the location nml richm! of the newly discovered mining di trict out here in Oregon. The place in qucbtion is known in the Pine creek country, the town is Cornucopia, in Union county, and is situated about fifty niilew north east of Baker City, ami the district stretchch out to Hnake river on the western boundary of Idaho territory; the iieiireHt railroad point iw the 'own of Union, on tho O. U. & N. railrond The rich deposits of gold artrilvei ore were only discovered last slnmcr, but even that length of time bhould have given us pome notice from the outside world, especially when in taken into consideration the quality and quantity of the minerals; but for koiiic unexplained reason there petuna to be rather a skeptical opinion of thin new district, in the minds of nioit of Ore gon's alleged capitalists. And now I with to .solicit, through the medium of your paper, the atten tion of .-ouio of Colorado's solid men to litis unnoticed region, and 1 trunt from the fact that I am pietty well known lo the mining fraternity in Colorado and tlie Southern territories that my statements will bo taken uc bona iide, being well aware that any exaggeration would only tend to in jure instead of benelit our camp. I feel perfectly justified in uiierliiig that with the exception of the Loud villo excitement, (I might state that I have been to not a few mining booms), there is moro teal encouragement for capital to invest on u eiifc ha bis than any place I have ever been to. The ore is of a qunrtis eharncttir and gener ally found between granite and a kind of block or lime alato rock; the quurtz in places shows up considerably de composed Had carries black sulphuritM, galena, native rilver und comiderablo free gold; the principal drawback is thnt none of the ledges have devclojwd yet to u true teating depth, and some of the lieat projiertiea are owned by poor men and principally by men that don't hccm to have had much experi ence iu mining. One visit from a com pe ten I and practical mining man, will demonstrate that it ii not for lack of mineral that this camp iu almost wholly ignored by capital. I am not attempting to get up a boom, tut 1 asBuru you we don't want one, and 1 am hot employed to write this by biirinetfl men or n railroad ; and I wish to nay, for tho benefit of the laboring class, that it would be matinees for anyone to come here with the hope of getting employment, at least until some of the prospects here change hands, as there is an influx of labor now; a ho a plenty of businefi houses, for the present. I am only writing this for the benefit of men who wish to invest iu mining property, I am, respectfully, J. E. JoilNsTOK. Cornucopia. Union county, Oregon. Covq Oullinss.

Tho IVnirth r itnloi,, NotnilhstancUng tho exlremely un plcsant weather, a larger crowd than was oer before collected in Union county, assembled in this city, on Monday last, lo celebrate the 110th anniversary of our independence. It wan estimated that at least five thous and persona were present. The pro gramme whs carried out in a very creditable mauner. At .unrise, Ii salute of thirteen guns was fired, and at 10 o'clock the procession formed at the court house and took up the line of march, headed by the Summerville and Union Cornet IJands, followed by the liberty ear, which was tastefully arranged and presented a very beauti ful appearance. Miss Vada Swack hamer represented the Goddess of LHwrtyaU'l Miss Ida P.ivi the Angel of Peace, and u bevy of liltlo girls rep resented tho different State of the Union. Next followed a company of juvenile soldiers boys from six to ten yeans of age, all drestetl in bright uniforms, anil carrying wooden guns. They kept gnod time, and showed the ,;areful training to which they had Ven subjected by Mr. Al. (loodbrod. rhey were quite a prominent feature in the ptocesston, and attracted much attention as they went along. These were followed! by a long line of citizens seated iu carriages and wagons. After parading the principal street", tho pro fession arrived at I he grove adjoining own, which Mr Fred Nodi no had kimliy permitted them to use for the occasion, and the forenoon was spent in listening to excellent music by the i wo bands, singing, by the choir, a plendid oration by Bov. Ti win, of La (innule, reading of the Declaration of Independence, by Mrs. Watson, and various exercises, after which the im nenso crowd gathered around the long lines of tables, anil partook of a good i ml substantial dinner. Numerous refreshment stands, ami two circular wings were on the grounds, and were liberally patronized by the young people, who seemed to onjoy them selves immensely. After dinner, the ,:rowtl repaired to the Main street of own and witnessed the tournament, ind feats of horsemanship, tho prize 'or which, was contested for by several xperienccd anil skillful young met.. Then the base-ball contest, between ..he Baker City and La Grande clubs, ook place, on the grounds adjoining own, and was witnessed by a. large .Towd of interested spectators. Con rary to the expectations of many, the La Grande club was badly deflated. At f o'clock the Plug Uglies made heir appearance, and, for an hour or wo, kept everybody in an uproar. The harangues of the speaker and (older were full of wit and telling noints. One feature of the Plug Ug lies we must not, forget to mention ho old nigger farmer and his wife and hildien who arrived in a cart drawn by two diminutive mules. They eio ited lota of fun, and were "alone worth he money." At 8 o'clock, the display of liteworks was made, from Ihe bridge t ossing Catherine creek, lasting about in hour. It was beautiful, and was highly enjoyed byall. After (he lire works, tho dance, at Wright's hall, commenced. This ball was one of the 'ligg'ist and moist enjoyable nllair of he kind, that has over taken place in his city. Oqo hundred ami sixty numbers were sold, and tho immense hall was crowded with merry dancers and as jolly and sociable u crowd as .Oiild well begotten together. Taking it all in all, tho celebration was a ,'rand success, and tlespito the very lisagieeablo weather during tho fore part of the day, was, we believe, ap preciated by all. If tho people of Union failed in acts of courtesy and hospitality to any who wore hero that lay, it was unintentional, and should Ho kindly overlooked, as it was their lot-ire to make all visitors comfortable, and they hope, soino day, lo return the visit, when any of tho neighboring towns eeo (it to oclebrato.

All report having a pleas ant time. There- is a very large mail coming in from La Grande to Sumtncmlle, on Monday. The accumulation of two days at La Grande. At the race grounds at IClgin, July Jlrd., the Hhelton horse beat the Chut tin Bro,s horse a 400 yard da.-h for 175. Another horse belonging t tho Shelton boys, succeeded in defcttinf--the Weaver mare, for about $125. The dead soldier at Elgin, on thu night of July .'Jrd., was appropriatly draped by his attending comrades, Harry P. says ho don't object to scrv in as a "Hag rack" or a "bouquet vase" but has decided objections to being completely "corked." Tho town waa thrown into a furoro of excitement, on Monday, by the re port that Mr. Legore had been shot hy William Bennett. Tho report proved only too true. Tho terrible, crime has cast a deep shadow over our entire community, both men being well known and old residents of tho county. Mr. Bora MclCcnzie, our popular livery man, while leturning from La Grande, last Monday evening, accom panied by his daughter, were thrown, from their buggy, and somewhat in jured, by their team becoming fright ened and running away. Tho team, was finally stoppoti, by Mr. Lee, about two miles from the spot where the buggy was overturned. Tho buggy sustained but little injury, ono single tree being broken. Tho Suminerville Ihiso-ball club played their first mutch game at Elgin, July 3rd., their opposing con tefctauts being tho Elk Plat club. The game was closely contested, thu tally at the end of the eighth inning landing 12 to 12. On tho last inning Ihe iSummervillo club succeeded in making 11 tallies, which somewhat discouraged the Elk Flat nine who, however, succeeded in making three tallies, tho liual score standing 2.' to 18 in favor of tho riutninervillo club. The stakes were a bat ami ball, offered by tho city of Elgin to the winning club. The two clubs will perhaps, soon meet again. The celebration at Elgin was well attended probably one thousand per. .-Otis being present. Tho grand march occurred at 10 o'clock, A. M. After singing, by tho choir, and prayer, by Bev. 1 a. Paul, tho Declaration of Independence was ably read by J. A, Jackson. Air. V. B. Collins, the orator of the day, spoko for ono hour, ami did justice to tho occasion. An ad jotirnment of ono hour was then an nounced, and tho cravings of tho innor man was satisfied. Before tho crowd had again collected, the gontlc rain began to deooud and tliero was a general stampede to find a placo of shelter. Tho shower only lasted u fow minutes, at the conclusion of which, tho crowd again assembled at tho grand btand, where the audience was favored by short addresses from (lifTer unt persons. At 1:30, the plugs put in an appearance anil entertained thu crowd for about one hour. Tho crowd then dispensed, sumo to attend the ball at Elgin, others to attend tho races and lull games; and others, still, went homo. Taken all in all, the celebration, at Elgin, was a grand success, and memories of the day and its happenings will linger in the minds of many for a long time to come.
