AN AGED INDIAN.
Indian John, one of tho last
mints of the Multnomahs, visits
rein
East Portland occasionally. This remarka
ble specimen of the aborigine was hero
long .before any white man ever saw
Oregon. He has seen tho progress of
civilization from the first day that the
old Hudson bay company first moored
its pioneer vessel upon the bosom of
tho Columbia. Ho knew Dr. Mc
Laughlin and saw the caravan of
Lewis and Clarke as it came from the
far away east to explore tho then great
unknown region of the west. He has
seen what no other living mortal ever
saw the progress of the grandest por
tion of tho world as it bloomed from
the wilderness to its present growth.
He is tho oldest man or moital in the
northwest 112 years of age. Astori
an. RUEEIMIERDER KILLED.
A rancher near Heppner killed a
sheep-herder named John Barrett one
day last week, stabbing him to death.
It seems that Barrett, who was herding
sheep for a Mr. Kelley, had on several
occasions let the sheep run onto or
across a patch of swamp grass owned
by Crump. This angered Crump who
sent Barrett word that unless he kept
his slice) oil' bis ranch he would sue
him, and afterwards threatened to kill
him, Barrett, hearing of tho threats,
went down to see Crump, who came to
where Barrett was. Barrett, seeing
that Crump had a knife, attempted to
retreat, but Crump followed, stabbing
him until he fell dead. It appears
Barrett was not armed.
