The Reservation Desperadoes Gathered In at
Uranite Creek by Deputies Hal ley
and Johusoo.
From the E. O. .
Bebind tbe bara. y
Tbe Parr boys, reservation desperadoea,
one of wbom, Heury, swore tbat he would
never be taken alive, are now in this un
pleaeaot situation.
They were leaders in tbe party of
toughs w ho captured Athena and Adams,
made a hotel keeper danoe at tbe latter
place, rode up and dawn tbe streets, yell
ing and shooting, and elevated Ned gen
erally. After this ooourrenoe tbe Parr
boys made their escape, but two of their
suspected confederates, Joe Depot and
Antoiue Moran, were captured.
It was learned by the sheriff's oflioe
tbat the Parrs had gone in tbe direotion
of tbe John Day country. They are bard
"pills" to taokle, and it was an open bet
tbat they could not be taken without a
fatal skirmish. But deputy sheriffs John
Hailey and J. F. Johnson left Pendleton
Monday morning at 4 oclook, in a
buggy, to find the desperadoes if possi
ble. Tbe offioers arrived at tbe town of
Long Creek Tuesday night and learned
the following day tbat tbeir game was
encamped on Oranite creek, near Ar
buckle's place. Leaving tbeir rig at
Long Creek they procured saddle horses
and Wednesday afternoon started for
Granite creek, fifteen miles distant, ac
companied by a guide, Gns Sloan. They
arrived at 7:30 p. m., and secured a man
named Ed Allen to pilot them to where
the camp was located.
Leaving their horses behind the offioers
crawled cautiously along the steep banks
of the oreek, until within about 100 yards
of tbe camp, of wbiob they obtained a
good view. The Parr boys were being
visited by a young man nu,ie.d Arbuokle
and were "monkeying" with tbeir weap
ons. It was not deemed a good time to
attack, since the innooent visitor might
be hurt, and the orisis was postponed un
til next morning, the pursuers laying out
all night. It was very cold, and the
officers nearly shook their olothes off.
At i a'olock Sloan and Allen were sent
up tbe oreek to oome down from above,
and Hailey and Johnson wormed their
way carefully toward the camp. Shortly
after seven the Parr boys emerged from
tbeir tent, leaving tbeir pistols inside,
and buBied themselves in preparing
breakfast. The favorable moment had
come and the two deputy sheriffs appear
ed from behind a sheltering tree, leveling
tbeir Winchesters at the unsuspecting
men, wbo had no choice but to throw up
their hands. They were deprived of
tbeir weapons and brought to Pendleton,
arriving Friday night.
The Parrs had little to say about their
oapture, and made no attempt to escape
while on tbe road to Pendleton, which
wonld have been useless, anyway. Hen
ry rode in a buggy with Johnson and Joe
onme with Hailey on borsebaok. Hen
rv remarked:
"You fellows worked a pretty slick
scheme, didn't you? If you had struck
us with our guns you would have had a
ltrht on vour bands.
There is no douotor tne trutn ot tms
statement, since tbe elder Parr, who was
at one time in tbe penitentiary, is a "bad
man" who deserves the distinction.'
In the Nick of Time.
Tbe nick of time to stop the course of
bladder and kidney ooumlaints is when
tbe organs oonoerned exhibit a tendency
to grow inactive. The healthful impulse
toward activity tbat they receive from
Hostetter's Stomaoh Bitters resoues
thom from impending dnnger, and averts
such dangerous maladies as Brigbt's
disease and diabetes. Sluggishness of
the kidnevs increases a liability to
ohronic rhenmntism, gout and dropsy,
and ainoe the blood is filtered by these
organs in its pasBBge through them, the
operation of the Hitters serves a aouDiy
hannv Diimose. The medicine acts
without exciting, like tbe fiery stimulants
of commerce. Miilanal, dyspeptio, oon
atinnted and nervous invalids are thor-
oiiehlv relieved by it. Siuoe the advent
of that shocking malady, la grippe, it has
been widely demonstrating its useiui
ness as a curative and preventive of it.
NARROW ESCAPE.
While attempting to ford the Middle
Fork of tbe John Day river last Matur
day, J. N. Ricbey, of Sasanville, lost his
team and wagon and came near losing his
own life. The river was very high, which
together with tbe capers of a young ani
mal which Mr. Ricbey was driving was
the cause of the whole affair. His team
began backing in the river and upon ap
proaching a swift current, without warn
ing, the wagon was overturned, and team
and all carried down the stream, which
resulted as before stated. Since the high
water has subsided it is learned that Mr.
Kichey's team and wagon was found
lodged againHt a drift at some distance
down the river.
This is an accident of frequent oocur
rence when one attempts to lord these
treacherous mountain streams during the
high water season. tagle.

Ask a national banker if be would like

Talk about reforming the old parties
is nothing but olaptrap. It has been
tried too often. It doesn't sound well
any longer.

After staving it off as long as possible
on the question of constitutionality, tbe
house judiciary oommittee has at last de
cided to report a resolution direoting an
investigation to be made into the Pinker-
ton system. It is to be hoped that the
result will not be a coat of whitewash for
that notorious private army.
The ohairmnn of tbe national people's
party central oommittee Btates that there
is no truth in the report that there is a
fusion of tbe alliance in Minnesota with
the democratic party. Similar reports
from other states are also denied. Such
reports are sent out by old party leaders
to frighten their former adherents baok
into tbe old parties.
There is no use in longer trying to re
form tbe old parties. It cannot be done
from within. "Reform" has been tbe
campaign cry of tbe old parties for years,
but oan any reform be shown? Tbe
square men of both parties have long
been trying to reform them, but without
success; the parties have become more
and more corrupt. It has been fully dom
oust rate. 1 that tbe only hope of relief for
tbe people is in a new party of tbeir own,
and that is why the people's party is in
existenoe and daily growing in strength.
There is no danger that the people's
party will "fuse with the democrats" or
"fuse with the republicans," as lying re
ports from distant states would have un
informed people to believe. There will
be no half-way work. The people's par
ty means business from start to finish.
To silenoe false rumors a resolution has
just been adopted by tbe national execu
tive committee which declares that the
party is unalterably opposed to fusion
with either of the old parties, and will
not recognize any individual, oommittee
or organization which proposes to enter
into any suoh fusion.
In the senute the other day Call offered
a resolution for tbe appointment of i
oommittee of nine senators to inquire in
to the present value per mile of tbe rail
ways of the United States; tbeir present
capitalization and the difference between
such capitalization and tbe aotual cost
of construction and equipment; their
gross and net receipts; the number and
compensation ot their employes; their
indebtedness and the oapital stocks and
amount of bonds and stock held by stock
holders and bondholders, distinguishing
between home and foreign holders. A
good thing; but the resolution went over
without Botion. Such a resolution as
that wouldn't suit tbe railroad attorneys
who hold seats in the senate. The paid
servants of tbe companies are ever watob-
ful to crush in its inception any measure
tbat has tbe appearance of a step toward
tbe nationalization of transportation
lines. Let the people be as watohful ot
tbeir own interests, and tbe great monop
olies will not always be able to oontrol
legislation to their own selfish ends.

There have reoently been new laws
issued in Denmark concerning the uni

high grade Normal schools, whioh give
promise of general satisfaction, and are a
credit to tbe mediators between the ultra

ment. The consular oommittee of the Norwe
gian Storthing is expected during May
to give its final deoision respecting the
independent Norwegian consulates. But
the president, Ullmau, is already so con
fident of the issue that be writes in one
ot the leading papers : "The Norwegian
consulates will be established within a
few weeks," to which the Swedish papers
ot opposite opinion meroly reply: "In

A Swedish Zoological Sooiety of 200

Poor little Denmark seems to have for
gotten that agreements and treaties of

politios of Europe it is within easy mem

to gain an additional area for building
purposes, estimated at fifty million
crowns. . Hal how, if tha royal orown or

When Crown Prince Gustaf, the time
before lust, visited Norway, the cabinot
minister, Steen, gave a dinner in his hon
or, to which also were invited the editors
of the three most prominent radical pa
pers, that is, The World's Occurrences,
The Daily Press, and The Intelligence
papers, whioh tor years bad most bitterly
villified Sweden and tbe Bernalotte dy
nasty; also the cbolerio young Sigurd
Ibsen (the son ot tbe famous dramatist)
who had been expelled from the cabinet
and ever afterwards agitated for a sep
arate Norwegian foreign diplomacy. To
encounter these formidable foes, so ex
pert in wielding tbeir steel weapons
tbeir pens and to have to "smile" and
"chin-chin" with them must have been
but a sorry pleasure tor tbe heir appar
ent.
Word has come to these parts that a
great sensation was recently caused at
Trendborg, a smnll town in Denmark,
by tbe revelation that the postmaster's
wife had tor twenty-six years oarried on
a perfect system of theft, as well in that
town as in one where her husband bad
formerly looated. It was generally her
most intimate friends that beoame ber
viotims. In one family where Blie spent
Christmas eve, she Btole BO orowns, in
tended for a Christmas box to the son;
from another friend she took 100 orowns
in gold, which had been put by for a
journey, etc. Altogether, seventy in
dictments, large and small, are oited
against ber. "Custom made it for her
a property of easiness," and some of the
tbefts were committed with perfeot sang
froid, not to say elegance. However,
tnere is general sympathy expressed for
tbe husband, who evidently had not the
lightest inkling of the depredations and
deprivation of his "better half."

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE MUSICAL WORLD.
We have received from Richard A.
Saalfibld, 794, 796 and 798 Tenth Ave
nue, New Ynrk, the first number of a
musioal monthly entitled, The New York
Musical Monthly. It is a marvel of
cheapness and excellence. It fairly stag
gers us. How any publisher oan afford
to give so much for so little surprises us.
We all know what musip oosts, but here
is a publication of 32 pages of music,
large size, large print, eguoZ in every re
spect to high priced music, wbiob is
offered to the publio at 15 cents per oopy,
or $1.50 per year, postpaid. The number
to band contains, "Nightingale Song,''
from the Tyrolean, by Oenee; "Ta-ra-ra
Boom-de-ay," by Ascher; "Love and Du
ty," Song, by Dryden; "Serenata" (Ital
ian) Waltz, by Jaxone; "Kitsmin Schot-
tisohe Militaire,". by Leggett; "Darkie's
Dream," by Lansing; "Tyrolean" Waltz,
by Pratt, any one of whioh is worth the
price Asked,i while the "Ta-ra-ra Boom
de-ay" is tbe piece that is being sung
everywhere and made such a suc
cess in London and Paris as to inoreese
a certain singer's salary from $50 a week
to $100 per night. The publishers ad
vise us the May number will oontniu
Puderewski's" melodie; the famous song
For You;" the beautiful "Love's Dream
After the Ball" Waltz, by Czibulka;
"Paderewski's Menuet;" "Poor Girl
Didn't Know;" the great song, "My Son,
My Sou. My Only Son;" the famous
Swedish Song "Tystnad;" and last, bnt
not least, Montenegro's famous "Oxford
Berlin Polka," whioh is danced every
where.
This monthly is priuted on elegant pa
per and we can hardly say enough for it.
Our subscribers would do well to send
15 cents for a sample oopy, of, better
still $1.50 for a yearly subscription to the
publisher.
