Archie lfrsr.vn Captured.
From the Portland papers of yesterday
we clip the following account of tho cap
ture of Archie Drown :
"About four days a.;o he went to the
house ot John Cain, some 11 miles below
this city, and asked for lodging, which
was given him. Ho remained at Cain's
tour nights, so he alleges. During the
111g.1t he slept at the house, but each day
he went out to look for work. At first he
was not suspected. Monday he chanced
to pick up a paper which contained a de
scription ot Johnson ami himself. He
was fearful lest Cain or some of his fami
ly would suspect him.so he cut out the de
scription. Cain's daughter, who, it seems,
had some suspicions from the lirst that
Drown was one of the murderers, became
convinced that such was the case after lie
cut out out the description of himself.
She told her father yesterday morningshe
felt certain he was one of the guilty par
ties. Her lather also became well satis
eed that her suspicious were not without
foundation, so he determined toarrest him
When Drown returned to his house yes
terday evening, after being absent most of
wie iay, Lam ami a man named Joseph
llilcy came in on him unawares while no
was sitting in ono of the rooms, and de
manded him to "throw up h s hands."
Doing covered by a double-barreled shot
gun, lb-own had no alternative but to sur
render. 1 le said he was worn out and ex
hausted from hunger and privation. On
surrendering, Drown was tied securely,
placed in a wagon and conveyed to this
city. He was arrested about 7 o'clock
just about dusk.
Drown is inclined to lay the most of the
blame of tho whole matter on Johnson,
and states that the latter put up the job
ami ici mm into it. ue savs they went
up to Oregon City a few days before the
robbery, intending to burglarize the post
office there Johnson being acquainted
there. They were, however, so closely
watched by' the police that they gave that
job up aiid returned to Portland. He
says, moreover, that Johnson 'spotted'
yj .-"Mica s place arm talked him intoMlie
rcblHuy he at first refusing to participate
in the robbery, lie moreover savs that
their plans were made without consulting
the hoy Swards, who, he says, did nothing
in ttic commission of the crime, and Y.'iW
led, at least partially unwillingly Into the
matter
Drown and Johnson separated the night
Swards was captured, since which time lie
has not seen or heard anything of John
sou." Hi-Id to Answer.
Tho preliminary examination of Capt.
Eph Baughman lor the killing of Pat
Whalon on the steamer Sjxikane took place
at the Dalles on Wednesday and Thursday
of last week before Judge D. L. McArthur.
Judge Wm. Strong and W. Dair Hill ap
peared for the defense, and J. C. Cart
wright and J. A. At water for the state.
During the progress of the examination a
largo number ot witnesses testified.
Baughman was arrested on a charge of
murder in the first degree, but was held to
answer the charge of manslaughter before
the grand jury. Hiu bonds were fixed at
$5,000, which were readily furnished and
the defendant released from custody.
Each of tho witnesses was held to appear
in the sum oi s?250, in order to insure their
attendance. The shooting took place 011
the Columbia river opposite Umatilla
county, and the trial will be held at
Pendleton, at the November term of the
court. The examination took place before
Judge McArthur for the reason that the
warrant for the arrest was issued from
Umatilla county, ami no magistrate had
jurisdiction to commit the prisoner out
side of that county. Judge McArthur be
ing judge of the district h.id jurisdiction
in the matter, and therefore i-af as com
mitting magistrate.
Criin. Con.
The unusual moral quiet of our city
was painfully di.-:turled 011 Friday of last
week by the arrest of Dan Smith and Mrs.
S. A. Humphreys on a charge of adultery
preferred by the husband, and of which
there was the most direct testimony
educed on the examination. After hear
ing the witnesses. Judge Wait bound the
parties over for appearance at Court, and
Smith, being unable to give bail was
placed in prison. Thesjmpathiesofouren
tire community go out to Mr. Humphrey,
whose kindly demeanor and patience
under the yoke, lias won for him the
plaudit of A good, man" and "A kind
husband." His only remaining child he
has placed with the sisters at Vancouver,
where he will receive, the care and train
ing not to be had from a broken and
desolate hearthstone. "Oh! there are
crimes committed in this world whose in
famy the angels cannot blot out; whose
sting time cannot heal, nor the grave
cover." .-
Always Brsr. The Salem Statesman
says: "We hayo several of the busiest
men in this city we ever knew. From
early morning to dewy eve they are stren
uously and laboriously employed in hold
ing down some chairs or dry goods boxes
in front of the hotels or before t he saloons,
or in whittling away pine sticks and time
together. They are always tired. Our
iity is often stirred as we notice their
lerculanean efforts, and we do most ear
nestly hoje they will be rich enough some
to not be obliged to work so hard. U'e
often wonder how thev have stood it so
long. But then, after all, there must be a
great deal of happiness in contemplating
the noble results of such toil."
Deputy
SnEuiFF. Mr. W. W. II.
Swanson. of Needy, has been appointed
Deputy Sheriff by Sheriff Pillsbury, and
has taken up his residence in this city,

always attend to calls in his line in good
shaH. -
Still, in BI'sinkss. Our item regarding
Mr. Ii. A. Hughes' departure for England
and sale of his stock of goods was rather
premature, as he informs us that ho has
concluded to remain a few months longer
and disjxise of his goods at retail at prices
that will surprise the oldest inhabitants.
He made arrangements to dispose of his
entire stock but failed to make suitable
terms, and he now oilers the public a rare
chance to secure bargains.

Tho McMinnvillo Reporter of last
week gives the following account of tbe
robbery of Father Gibney, formerly of
this city:
" Father Gibney received a visit from
a gang of dastarely scoundrels last
Thursday night, and was robbed of
what little spare change ho had in the
house, which, fortunately, at this time,
amounted to only 87.50. At about 12
o'clock on the night mentioned, the
priest was aroused by a knock at;the
door of his dormitory adjoining tho
church, and on asking what was wanted,
was informed that a sick person at
Bellevuo desired a visit from him imme
diately. Father Gibuey got up, and all
uususpecting of harm, opened the door.
At this the trio rushed into tue house,
and one of them covered the defenseless
priest with a revolver, demanding his
money or his life. Father Gibney
showed them the bureau drawer, in
which they could find what little money
he had, and the robbers promptly se
cured it, after which Ihey made tho
prisoner hold tho light for them
while they went through every
possible receptacle in the house search
ing for more money. That which they
found in tho drawer ($7.50) was the
only reward for their search. They
left the house threatening Father Gib
ney that if he dared to step outside the
house before raornina: ho would ret a
ball through him. The miscreants had
their faces blacked, and could only bo
described by their statures; hence they
will go unpunished, and very likely
will give somebody else a call at a favor
able opportunity.
