The i'hliisniHii Who ttnbbed the First Na tional Rank Probably Taptnred. On September 16, 1890, tbe first Na tional bank of Tbe Dalles was robbed of $10,000 by three CuinameQ , and two escaped, while one of them, an accom plioe in the crime, was ssnt to tbe peni tentiary for two years.' The robbery was affeoted by digging a tunnel for some distance and terminating under tbe bank vault.- After the robbery Tim Cboon, the leader of the gang got away to China, where be wag reported killed, but he sho nd up in Walla Walls a tew days ago, and ia now in tbe bauds of the sheriff there. He was caught by a clever piece of work by Deputy Sheriff WilHon, who overheard ChiDamen discussing a rob bery at The Dalles. Mr. Wilson im mediately telephoned to Sheriff Kelley, inquiring about a bank robbery bere. sod Mr. Kelley remembering the rob bery of the Krst National Bank set to work to get a disoription of the China man Tim Cboon, and as it tallied ex act'y with that given him by Mr. Wilson of tbe Chinaman in Walla Walla in structed him to arrest the fellow at onoe, which was done, and to the surprise and delight of Mr. Wilson a diamond pin valued at $200, that had recently been stolen from a resident in Walla Wada, was found on tbe Cbibarnan, also $200 io gold coin. There is a olenr case agaiost the Chinaman for stealing the diamond pin, and there is 00 question but be can be punished on that charge, but to meet the ends of jostles it is right that be be proeeonted on tbe indictment foand against him in this county on Nov, 13, 1890, for tbe bank robbery. It being Dine years sinos the robbery was com mitted, there would probubly be some difficulty in getting sufficient evidence together tn convict him, Tbis would necessitate considerable expense which tbe authorities would probubly not feel justified io making, though It would be well for the business rami of the town to make np a purse to defray the expense of collecting evidence.

Before the Indian secured from his white brother a supply of rifles and am munition, the primative bow and arrow was the red man's greatest protection against bis enemies. In order that bis instrument of death should be more deadly, he dipped its point iu poison. When an enemy was struok by one of these, even if a mere soratcli was made, death was the usual resu't. It was uot ouftomary to use these arrows at all times when on tbe warpath, only in cases of emergency. The intimate knowledge tbe Iudiaos possess of the medicinal pro perties of roots and herbs, served them well in various sections of ths oiuutry, as they were able to distill from them vegetable poisous. Tribes with homes and hunting grounds upon tbe plains, however, where roots and herbs are unknown, naturally turned to the suake for ammunition. Rattlesnakes could be found iu oouutlese thousands upon thuir wide expause, and it was au easy mutter to secure from these venom beariug advanoe agents of death tbe poison sought for. Daring the summer season, parties made up of braves, squaws Bud pap pooses, visited some locality where rat tlers were known to abound iu uumbers, and business was opened up. To tbe squaws aud children was delegated the task of hunting the snakes, the buoks remaining in the obade of their wigwam sitting cross-legged or lying at ease be hind some friendly boulder that kept Bwsy tbe soorcbiug ray of sun, tboir only occupation being to inspeot the results of the bunt when brought into camp. Rattlesnakes are the most venomous aud ugly during toe hottest part of the summer mouths, aud they are especially so at their , period of shedding their skius. At this season it is said that they go blind, and in conseqneuce strike whenever sound renohes them. During the heat of the day the rattlers crawl out of the boles in this ground and ureviceses in tbe rooks and bask in the sun, thn warmth of tho earth and rooks being ex tremely grateful to them. This is the opportunity of the squaws and children. They provide themselves with a pieoe of raw meat, generally liver, of about a half a pound's weight, which they dan gle temptingly by meaus of a pieee of string and an ordinary stick some six or eight feet in length over the nose of a buge rattler. Tbe snake gathers bis sinuous length into a coil, with bis rattle io the oenter and tbe head towering above the body, rearing aud slowly moving baokward aud forward, so as always to keep the liver io front of him. He keeps his rat tles going constantly, and one who ever beard the peculiar whirring noise will never forget the time and place. The little unwinking, beady eyes glow like miniture coals, emitting a strange, fas cinating light that is well not to regard too closely. Tbe frequently opening mootb displays the slender blaok-forked tongue darting in aud out wilb incon ceivable rapidity, and the white glisten ing faugs in the upper jaw ready for instant adion. The meat is swung to tbe left, to tbe right and, over him, but just beyond his reaoh. This irritates him, so that when fjially the bail is permitted to pass within his reaoh, bis bead darts from the oenter of bis coil and the bait is fairly struok The snakes bangs there a moment and either disengage himself or is gently shaken off by his tormentor. Tbe strike of a poisonous reptile always seems to enervate them for a moment or two, consequently tbe rattler in this in stance resumed his coil again but slowly. Again the meat swung within bis reaoh and now he was thoroughly angry , as the object of his bite did not seem to show the faintest sign of bis blow. Tbis be could not understand and gathered himself for another attempt. Three or four times tbis act was repeated ontill all tbe venom had been exhausted. Another snake was immediately sought for, and again tbe tantalizing proximity of what to them was an enemy oaused them to bury their fangs a often as pos sible in tbe bait. Many pieces of meal were treated in this manner until tbe savages believed that they have obtained a suflloienoy of poison. A fire was built qniokly and an iron kettle produoed. The impregnant meat wag tbron into tbe kettle and boiled, a trifle of water having been added to it until bat a small resi lum was ob tained. This, if kept warm, remained in a liquid condition, but coagulated read ily when taken from the fire. During the boiling of tbe meat, a duty of the squaws, it was frequently tasted, as the aborigines depend in gome manner upou that Denotation as to tbe proper time when the boiling ossses. Ilittlesn'uke poison is not harmful if taken ia email quantities into the stomach, but it is not a pleasant sight, especially if one koos tbe contents of the kettle, to see a hagard Indian orone calmy lift the iron spoon to her lips to taste this devils broth. The viruleuoe of tbe poison in estimated by tbe Indians io accordance with its effect npon some other animals. The Indian boys of tbe tribe generally caught a few rabits or prarie dogs. Au incision was made in their skins aufTi ii ent Io draw blood aud drop of the decotion wag applied 0 it. If deatb cane quickly, with all the gymptoos of sniku poison, tbe digtilation was correct. Sbonld it take longer to die or sbuuld tbe eymtonji Hot be as violent as the Indians think necesssarr , more boiling was rtqoired. a. M. Cauvku. WHY WHKAT 18 BLOW. Dealers and Mill Men Dlscnss the Situation- Lack of Shins One Reason. Spokesman-Review The wheat market throughout the state is going through a period of inac tivity which closely resembles stagna tion. No wheat is being purchased in any quantity, exporters oanoot secure vessels to ship in, the prioe bag dropped to cost of raising, farmers refuse to sell at ruling pricpg, mills are well supplied and every warehouse in the state is full to oyerfbwing. Wheat men estimate the total orop of the year at from 15,000, 000 to 18,000,000 bushels. Of tbis total fully 50 per cent is cot sold and not ove 25 per cent has been shipped to tide water for export purposes. Taooma is conceded to be tbe market of the state. Yesterday No. 1 sacked club wheat wus quoted in the Sound city at 50 cents; bluestem was quoted at 523-j ; wheat iu bulk is 3 cents lower. At country points throughout the state yesterday the price forKo. lsacked olub, f o. b , was 37ij oents, while bluestem was worth 'i'J. These were the ruling prices though no sales were made. Farm ers deolare they will bold tbeir wheat all winter in warehouses before they will sell at ttie prioes quoted. There have been no sales of any consequence for some time with tho exception of the pur chases made by tbe mills. The mills pay a little more than the export price, as tbey must have wheat to grind. But with Hour selling at $2 50 per barrel, wholesale, and heavy stocks of wheat generally on hand, the mill men are not making any extensive purchases. What to do with the large quantities of wheat which are held over in the hope of securiug better prioes is a problem. Every wheat warehouse iu tbe Pulouse is fall to overflowing and there are great piles of saoked wheat around tbe warehouses, covered with tarpaulins und boards. At tbe Sound terminal points the big warehouses are also filled, 3,00(1, 000 bushels being 'held at Taooma. As there is practically no export movement on now uor any prospeot of a movement u the immediate future, wheat men are confronted with a serious oondition of flairs. Some of the banks of the Pulouse oouutry are known tn have advanced 40 oents per bushel on wheat soon after harvest. These bnuks are not happy oyerjexiBtiu ooiulltjionji. ... .i. WAB is ONE CAUSE. Tbe oanses of the low prioo of wheat and stagnation of tbe markets are the wars in the Transvaal and Philippines. When the war began in the Philippines many of the American wheat ships were pressed into service in general merchan dise trade in order to relieve other larger vessels which could be need as trans ports. ' This condition still prevails. There were but few American vessels en gaged in the wheat business ns compared with EngliBh and American ships. Tbe bulk of the wheal exporting is done by vessels flying tbe British flag. The war in tbe Transvaal has caused a call for these vessels to be UBed in gen eral merchandise trade, while vessels formerly in the latter line are used to carry supplies to Booth Africa. Charters have doubled as compared with prioes one year Ago and are too high to make it profitable to engage ships for wheat ex port, even if tbe veseels could be obtained, Humnel Glacgow, manager of the Cen tennial mills, said yesterday: 'Only one source of relief can be hoped for as long us these wars coutinue. That is to have more American ships buill which will be fitted for the wheat export trade. But as long hb vessels are in such demand for other purposes, there is little hope that ship owners will charter tlim for wheat carrying, as wheat must be carried cheaper than many other 00m t o dities 011 account of its bulk. The ex porters now are oorapelled to pay s i much for oharters when they ship wheat that they bear the price of tbe grain to come out even."
