Word baa reached here of the foulest
murder that has been knowu in this sec
tion for many years. About four days
ago a freighter whose uame we could not
learn, but wbo was freiightiug for Pard
Cnminius, on the OkHtroaao, received
his pay, amounting to 35.00. aud tbat
night camped about a half mile from
Cummin's store. The next urmruing the
freighter was found dead, horribly muti
lated and hiB heart stuck up no the end
of a pole near the house. Whether it in
the work of au Indian or some white
man who thinks to make it appear the
work of an Iudiau is not known. No
trace of the wretch has yet been found.

From Weekly E. O. 31st ult.
In Justice Park's court, yesterday
afternoon, R. T. Murdock, the sawmill
owner, was examined on me cuarge oi
'maliciously destroying personal prop
erty, preterred by A. J. feunell, a neigh
bor with whom lie nas uad trouble, ren
nel claimed that Murdock and Henry
Harns visited bis house during bis ab
sence and cheerfully .proceeded to de
molish it with an axe. The evidence did
not support the accusat out it being
proven that Murdock merely removed a
few boards from a tionse of his own, and
the defendant was discharged by the
court. Harus, agHinst whom a similar
complaint was brought by fennel, was
dismissed on motion of the deputy dis
trict attorney.
Another telegram was received at the
sheriff's office to-day fiom Deputy John
son, who is having so much trouble in
inducing Missourians and their governor
to give up P. E. Parker, the absoon er.
Mr. Johnson Htates that be had a long
talk last night with the Governor of Mis
souri, who gave his reasons for revoking
the warrant he had issued, and also g;ive
his interviewer to understand that he in
tended to "stand pat." "He gave me tf
decisive answer," Mr. Jhusou tele
crauhB. "And vou will have to li'ive Gov
ernor Pennoyer stay with it." There is
little fear that G tveroor Peunoyer will
not stay with it, as be has already ex
pressed his opinion regarding the action
of the governor of Missouri. Tue inter
esting fight looked for will now undoubt
edly take place between the two gover
nors. The one is determined to prevent
Parker's arrest bv the Umatilla county
authorities, and the other equally de
termined that he shall rtceive his just

An eastern minister has a sign over the

Mrs. I. B. Bowen, of Baker City, by
mistake tok a dose of corrosive subli
mate one dav last week. Doctors being
close at band, and proper remedies being
quickly applied her life was saved.
There has been rumors of a grand
scheme to prove a matter of very great
renn, to Pendleton and contiguous
couutry for soi-e time and we have
awaited the materialization of the same
into something feasible, with no small
degree of patience. It seems now to
havn formulated itself into a grand irri
gation scheme, and Messrs. Sam. P. Stnr
gis, S. Rotbcbild and C. H. Lieadbntter
have filed articles of incorporation of the
same. The pnrpose is to dig a ditch
from some point on the Umatilla river
far enough up iu the mountains to bring
the water out on the almost dried ph ins
north of town, and it is proposed to carry
water in quantity sufiicient to irrigate
many thousand acres of land. We very
earnestly hope the scheme tuny piove a
success. Its effect ou Pendleton and tue
country about will be incalculable. Re
gions tbat have hitherto been barren aud
waste, will be made to produce wonder
fully, and land heretofore looked upou
as worthless will be considered as very
valuable.

Sunday.
Hon. J. P. Wager, Senator from Uma
tilla county and ex-editor of the East
Oregoniaiij was iu town a few days ago.
Every growing, and ambitious town is
composed of three elements, those wbo
work patriotically, vigorously and intel
ligently for its bdvaucement; those who
are in a tate of apathy or indifference
and those who always take delight in
discouraging the efforts of others by
ridicule and persistent denial that any
progress can be or has been accomplished
and boasts of every othr town except
their own. The last class are called
croakers, but they are really something
worse, for their opposition does not arise
simply from despondency, but from that
enviable spirit that will neither act itself
nor suffer others to act.
From Daily Astorian, Friday.
"What fiiDny things we see when we
haven't got a gun," warbled Ticket
Agent Bozorth, of the Uuion Pacific, a
few days ago as he, in company with
General Agent Noyes, stood in the bag
gage room and watched a dilapidated
looking Btranger overhaul the contents
of a sailor's bag.
"Yes, yes, I guess they're mine," said
the fellow, and a wild laugh went up at
the confession. The man, who has a
name tbat would wreck an alphabet to
spell, had put iu a claim against the
Union facinc railroad company for $143
for loss of baggage. He recently came
from Nei York, and when bis baggage,
for wtrob he had a check, did not arrive
within a few days, he set up a huwl and
said he was a ruined man.
Before a tracer. Bent out by the agent,
had time to get fairly started on its way,
the stranger had filed with Mr. Bozorth
what purported to be an inventory of the
contents of the b.ig with the price at
tached to each article. The list looked
well, and to look at the habiliments of
the claimant, it would seem that he
packed all bis best clothing in the bag
t.nd wore his worst suit The inventory,
contained items of Beveral suits of cloth
ing, each valued at S25; two piirs of sea
boots at $8 a pair; three pairs of shoes
at 83 a pair each; nuderwear, valued at
S4 a suit; jersey jackets which it was al
leged cost $3 and a lot of other apparel
all proportionately high.
When the bag finally arrived, the man
looked at its exterior and declared it was
not his. A little questioning, however,
convinced him that the jig was up,
and he confessed ownership to the sack,
w hich a shipwrecked sailor would hardly
lav claim to. Then he was made to iden
tify the bag by calling out the contents.
and a sorry looking lot of clothing it was
that came forth. The suits of clotbiog,
listed at $25 each, were a mass of rags,
the sea boots and shoes were mildewed,
and the other articles, including the $4
nuderwear, were iu a tit couditiou for the
rag man. The stranger wbo wanted the
company to pay bim $148 for the truck
was humiliated, rnd this is what caused
Bozorth to bum, 'Vhat funny thii gs we
see when we haven't got a gun."
From Salem Daily Statesman. 2nd in at.
The writer saw yesterday at the ex
press office in Salem seven hundred
iounds of butter iu tubs all the way
rom Kansas. The express charges must
lave been enormous. It is understood
hat frequent shipments of butter are
thus made from Kansas. The secretary
of the Salem board of trade a few days
ago received a letter from a Taooma
man inquiring if some one in Salem
would contract to ship to bim 600 doz
ens i f eggs each day. This section of
Oregon bas been raising wne it on big;
farms too long. We should produce more
butter, eggs, fruit, etc., etc. Small farms,
ranches and orchards are what the
country surrounding Salem needs. And -Salem
needs commission houses that will
make a specialty of sbipp ng to the vast
markets open to the products of such
men who will contract with the pro-
iucers. The business of supplying these
markets cannot be overdone, for the mar
's are growing faster than the supply
can grow, even under the most favorable
conditions. Let's at least raise as much
as we consume.
That man Peck, who was put in the
penitentiary Friday for a term of one
year, coming from Lane county, is serv
ing his third term in Oregon s state
prison. His case is quite an argument
in favor of the unlimited sentence idea
recently introduced in an eastern state.
by its provisions a prisoner is alwavs
sentenced to an unlimited term. He is
released on good behavior given bis
freedom on probation, as it were. He
must report every month to some officer
whose duty it is to keep a record of all
men ou probation. By this means an
honest man can redeem himself, but a
scoundrel is soon taken in charge again,
thus saving the state very many dollars
for arrest, incarceration, prosecution, etc.
From Fossil Journal.
We are informed by a gentleman from
Ferry Canyon that George Leighton had
found five head of his horses on their
range dead. He bas not discovered the
cause. "Had Mr. Leighton any ene
mies" said oue informant, 'he might
suspicion tbat strychnine bad been
placed on their licking grounds, but be
has formed no suspicion of anyone doing;
bim an intentional iojuiy." We hope
the mystery will soon be solved. There
were some very fiue animals among those
found dead.
Sloan P. Sbutt writes us that he has
returned from his investigation for anew
location iu California and the Sound, and
found them overcrowded and overrun
with newspapers. He concluded there
was still more room for him iu Gilliam
county, which he concluded to leave a
short time afo. So he purchased an out
tit and returued'to Arlington, where he
will issue the first nnmberof the Arling
ton Advocate, a weekly paper the same
size as the Fossil Journal, about next
week, or by the week following. Arling
ton once supported two papers, aud. will
no doubt revive her old prosperity by
the impetus given settlement on account
of the forfeiture of the N.PRB. lands,
and give the Advocate a hearty snppjrt.
No doubt there are some of Arlington's
former citizens who went with the boom
to the Sound who would be glad to ex
