We have received information that
Rev. Henry O. Jenkins died at Halsey,
Linn County, on the 7th inst., aged forty-
six years and was buried at the same
place. Ho leaves a wife and six children
and three brothers and two sisters. He
was well known in this county, where his
parents first located in 1844. The family
afterwards moved to Wilbur, in the Ump
qua valley, where Mr. Jenkins received
most of his education and where he waa
converted and joined the M. E. Church.
His parents being Baptists, he afterwards
joined that church and waa licenaed by it
to preach. In a few years, however, he re
turned to his former church, and was en
gaged in active itinerant work, in the Ore
gon Annual Conference,until failing health
compelled a change of hit relation. He
was in charge of the Dallas work at two
different times, and made here a host of
friends by his congenial spirit. He was
a preacher of good ability, very zealous,
and quite successful. He died as he had
lived, a good and true man, gentleman
and Christian.

Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Whore no farewell tears are shed.

On last Tuesday before one o’clock, the
hour appointed by the Court for pro
nouncing the seutence of Tom Gilbert,
the convicted * Indian, the Court room
was filled with men eager to witness the
solemn formality. Judge Boise, before
the hour arrived, was busily engaged in
writing, and, while expectation was in
tense, ho began to make a decision on a
demurrer in a civil cose. That done, the
Sheriff waa ordered to bring iii tho pris
oner. “ Stand up,” said the Court, as
Gilbert had takeu a chair within the bar.
This order was obeyed by tho Indian, and
the Court then asked: “ Have you any
thing to say why the Court should sot
pronounce sentence upon you?” Gilbert
looked puzzled and said he did not under
stand. Mr. Daly, one of his attorneys,
was called, who explained to him that he
could tell the Court whatever he wished.
He still seemed not to know’ exactly what
was meant, and askod, “ what about?”
After another explanation, he asked, “ you
mean I can talk to these people?” indi
cating the audience with a gesture. He
then began and said substantially: “ Iain
going to haug. I did not kill Dave and
nis wife. If I had killed them, now I am
|oing to hang, anyhow, I would not tell a
ie about it. God knows whether I killed
them. The boy killed them, and they
swear against me to save the boy from
hanging. The boy killed another boy
once.” He repeated his avowal of his in-
necenee, and said: “ Tt. will be found out
who killed Date and his wife, but I hang
for it. It will do me no good then.” He
spoke very earnestly, and gestured with his
left hand, occasionally placing it on his
breast. At the close he sat down, and
repeated, after he was seated, “ I must
hang for it.” During this delivery there
was a deep hush, and the audience waa
standing. The prisoner's earnest manner
made an impression on the hearers, and
caused some persons to express a doubt
as to his guilt. Judge Boise then caused
the prisoner to stand up agaili, and said
that he had no discretion in the matter;
the jury had found him guilty; they had
believed the witnesses, and it only re
mained for the Court to pass the sentence.
He proceeded with the sentence: “ That
you be taken from this place and kept in
close confinement in the county jail, until
tho first day of March, 1883, when you
will be taken out of said jail and, be
tween the hours of eleven o’clock a . m
and one o’clock p. m . of said day, you l e
hanged by the neck until you are dead,
and may God have mercy on your soul.”
The prisoner is exceedingly ill favored,
his forehead being very narrow across the
top, caused from the compression which
it received when an infant, according to
tho custom of his tribe. His eyelids droop
over his eyes, giving him a sinister ex
pression.
Yet when he was making
his speech tho emotion caused by the
imminence and horror of his fate, human
ized his face, and caused it to appear less
repulsive. There was nothing, however,
tragic in his manner, which was intensely
earnest, but very quiet. Only a little
while and Tom Gilbert will solve for him
self the mystery that only the dead can
ever know.
