It seems that two men, well known in that citv, named Douglass Thomas and Ihomas It lavis. were stooping in a cabin and en trailed in chopping cord wood. About 2 o'clock Saturday morning the man Thomas came to police headquarters in the citv and related that near midnight. while he and his companion were sleen imr. some one ranped at the door, awak ening them. Thomas suspecting no danger trixx ni1 onened the uoor. when two man, masked with gunny sacks over their hads. entered the cabin, una or mem presented a cocked pistol at Thomas' head ana oraeren mm to remain quiet on pain of instant death. 1 ha other nicked up hatchet lying on the cabin floor and ap Troachinir Davis, who was lying on the bed. and asked him: "Is your name Thomas D. Davis?" Davis replied, "Yes, and von have irot the drop on me. mi out saving a word the man dealt Davis four or five heavy blows on the head with the murderous implement, literally choppinir his skull to pieces.

When Chief Lap lHMis arrived at the scene of the murder, lie found the cabin almost entirely con sumed and the remains of the murdered man all burned up except a very small iKtrtion of the llesh, and the bones crum bled to ashes as soon as touched. The Coroner was notitiod and an inquest held, but no new facts were elicited. A thor ough search failed to reveal any trace of the perf,etrators of the deed or any clue by which they could he apprehended.

LaRocque, from the pen of W. II. Rees, of Buttoville, in the Oregon ian of the 2d : Mr. Georgo LaRocque, lato of Oregon Cit', who died at Oakland, Cal., on the 23d nit., was born near Montreal, Canada, in 1KJ0. Came to tho United States in lSVi. Went to St. Louis, Missouri, in the spring j of 173'J, where in the following full he en- I tered the service of the American Fur Co., starting at once for Fort Pierre on the Missouri river. Some time after, he was sent to Fort Laramie. Being an expert in the use of the rltle, he was promoted to the position of hunter, whose duty it was to furnish the fort with meat. This posi tion commanded a considerable advance in his wages. Mountain men, like those in t.ho more civilized pursuits of life, were paid in proportion to the value of the ser vices which they were capable of per forming. Georiro LaRocque was an energetic, resolute mountaineer, and for his discreetness and well known courage, was frequently emplo3'ed by the company as expressman in making "long hazardous journeys. On one of those oc casions he started from Fort Laramie with the annual express for St. Louis, by way of Fort Pierre, at which point there was some slight hope of reaching in time to meet the company's steamboat return ing from the "Yellowstoue with a cargo of peltries. If successful, would leave his mule and take passage for his destination. The distance, 320 miles, he dashed off in consecutive hours, barely reaching the post in time to accomplish nis object. Mr. LaRocque continued this lite on the plains till 1S47, when, after having experi enced eight years of wild, exciting lite on the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, he turned his face toward the setting sun, crossed the country, and in tho tall re joined his old comrade, F. X. Matthieu, in the vallev ot the lllamette. During the tirst gold excitement which swept through this valley like a prairie tire, in too tan or ib4S, :ur. jjauocque took passage on the old briir ilenrv for the new "Golden Gate." After several months spent in prospecting, with the usual suft cess of the inexiverienced miner of the early days of California, ho went to Feath er river, where he soon alter had the trood fortune to strike a rich pocket. from which in a few days he scooped out some S12.000 and returned to Oregon in 1S41J. In the spring of lsol he became a mem ber of the mercantile linn of F. X. Mat thieu A Co., at Butteville, with which he was associated for several v-ears. He tin ally embarked in the wheat trade and milling business at Oregon Citv, in which he was engaged at the time ot his death Notwithstanding 31 r. jjaitocquo had re ceived little or no earl3' advantages from the schools, lio was a very correct and successful business man, having accumu lated a very considerable fortune. He leaves a wife, daughter and three sons to mourn their loss. His name is enrolled on the register of the Pioneer Association, whos-j old mem bers aro fast giving way to later genera tions.
