Shooti.nu in Iiuin Vau.i:y. 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. Bennett, the district
jond supervisor n I a man by the name of
l.cgoro. in which the former while lying on
hto bark on the unwind wi assaulted anil
kicked In the face in a shocking manner by
the latter. 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. Hennett was arrested shoitly after
the shooting and taken before the justice
at Suininervillp. and waiving examination,
was committed without bail to nppear bo
fore the grand jury, and was immediately
brought to Union 'and bulged in the county
inn. lie lanes irceiy on nil matters except
the shootmsr, and seins to take the matter
rather eoollv. 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. Pos-u
bly there may be two sides to the ipiestion
lf"so, thev will develop themelucs in time
At nresont the above is all the insinua
tion we have been able to gather in regard
10 the matter.
A WoxDEiiri'i. L ikk. Recently we viii
the the Hot Lake, which is situated about
six miles north-west of this city, at the base
of a high range of mountains. 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.

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,

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. Hurrah for
the Fourth of duly.

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.
