ixiars to have been no foundation for the
charge, as when Mr. Dunbar was brought

The Wife Murhkuek. On Saturday
night Sheriff Ciroves, of I'olk county,

him to Dallas. It is reported "that Kelty
has refused all nourishment and desires
to die, and thus cheat the hultcr. The
bullet in his buck has not been found.
The wound is not considered very dan
gerous. In fact, if Kelty were anxious to
get well, and would adopt all proper
means to do so, he would not be lonir an
invalid. His preliminary examination
will take place as soon us possible. His
victim was buried on Sunday at the fam
ily burying ground at North Yamhill,

SILYERTOX ITEMS.
Many improvements will be made this
summer, w hich will lie beneficial to the
public.
T. K. Illackerby has commenced work
on his new residence, tm the ground
where be was burned out in May.
K M-'Claine will erect a fine residence
:h:-- s iii.nier, near where he now lives,
on the south side of Silver creek.
A. V.. Smith's new house is completed.
It is a tine structure, and adds much to
the appearance of the block on which it
stands.
Saturday nigbt, June 11, we had a fine
shower ut rain, whl-h will do a great
amount of good to all growing crops, and
almost assures a bountiful harvest.
(irain in the country around Silverton
is looking fine, and the heart of the
farmer is glad, in anticipation of an am
ple reward for his labors during the sea
son. John Wolford A Co. contemplate build
ing a large brick store In we on the cor
ner where he is now doing business,
which w ill improve the appearance of the
business part of the town.
We learn that the O. M. d. will make
some improvements at the mill in Silver
ton, this summer, by moving the large
sack warehouse so as to facilitate the
handling of grain during the coming har
vest. We notice that some hay is being cut
by some farmers, and last night's rain
will damage it greatly. Our advice to
the haymakers would be to make hay
when tiie sun shines, and not in cloudy
weather, as some have been doing.

FEO.n WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.
An Important Wokk. The largest
directory publishing company in the
United States is li. L. Tolk & Co., of De
troit. Michigan. They publish state ga
zetteers of all the leading states from
Pennsylvania to the Pacific coast, and as
far south as Texas, and northward into
Canada, including city directories of all
the principal cities. Tiiis is the firm that
now has an agent in this city preparing
the information for the new gazetteer of
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, to be
published in one book. It w ill contain a
complete description of every city and
country place in the state and territories,
with the name of every person in busi
ness. Such a work is needed in every
state, and hence has a large subscription
in every town. The work will Ik; pre
pared with the utmost care ami will be
specially valuable as a work of reference.
It will Vie continually consulted by all
new comers, and this feature alone makes
it a valuable advertising medium. The
book w ill be a most important means of
informing the eastern people about our
illimitable resources and wonderful ad
vantages, for the publishers will give this
work a great circulation through their
large branch houses in the East. No
work ever published will Vie a more com
plete mirror of our business and profes
sional interests, or a U tter picture of our
state as it is.
Died in Tacoma. E. F. Thompson,
well known in this city, was found dead
in bed in jail at Tacoma Sunday morn
ing. Thompson had been confined the
evening before for indulging too deeply
and was known to he alive until within a
shorl time of when his body was found
stiff and cold. A coroner's jury found
that the deceased came to hi3 death
from over-drink. The Oregonian's dis
patch, alter relating the circumstance,
says: "Thompson is a brother of H. .
Thompson, a wealthy and prominent at
torney in Portland. He also has anoth
er brother in Jefferson, Oregon, and his
mother, who is said to be in well-to-do
circumstances, resides in Salem, Oregon.
The deceased was recognized by several
jtersons who had known him for years.
He is said to have been a very bright,
intelligent and educated man. He b.i l
held positions of trust, wa" a clerk in t e
Oregon legislatare last winter, and at one
time bad a government position in Alas
ka. He was formerly a man of wealth
and had a wife and one child 8 years "i
age, but some two years ago, a divon-f
was granted, and since then he has been
drinking very hard. The deceased was
39 years old, and passed his last birthday
in the insane asylum in Salem, where he
remained three weeks."
Iniuctvent Lost. It has transpired
that the original indictment in the cases
of the State of Oregon vs. Nelson Dilley
ami Henry Johns is missing. County
Clerk Chapman first missed the docu
ment about a month ago, and since that
time his office has been searched high
and low, but the paper cannot be found.
The paper case which contained the doc
ument is in its place, and a very small
piece of the document, which had evi
dently been torn off when abstracted from
the case, was found in the latter. This
and other papers are kept in the vault,
which, as a matter of course, is left open
during the day time, that any responsible
party who desires can have access to the
books of the clerk's office. Whether
some interested party took the indictment
with felonious intent, thereby hoping to
remove effectually the charge which was
hanging over Dilley's and Johns' heads,
or some parties who had a right to its
possession, at least temporarily, have
mislaid it, is an open question. The fact
remains that the indictment is missing,
and that unless it is found neither Dilley
nor Johns will be tried upon the charge
imjtending against them.
GETriNo There. Since the election of
the officers under the new law, Co. B.,
2nd Infty., 0. N. ( J., is "getting there" in
good style. On Monday night eighteen
recruits were added to the company's
roll, making the actual strength of the
company forty-nine. Capt. l-ovell has
n iiuested the old non-commissioned
officers to serve until he should get his
commission, and should become thor
oughly acquainted with the company.
Under the new law a non-commissioned
otlicer can only Ve "broken" by order of
a court martial ; hence Capt. Love II is
very anxious to make no mistakes in
selecting these officers. W. (i. Westa
cott was elected company clerk on Mon
day evening, and the several committees
were announced. The company is now
going ahead ami will soon be drilling
hard for the 4th of July celebration.
Royal Akch Masons. The grand
chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Oregon
was in session in Portland during Mon
day and Tuesday. The following-named
officers were elected: (irand high priest,
R. F. Gibons, of The Dalles; deputy
grand high priest, (ieorge Humphrey, of
Albany; grand king, Dunald MacKay, of
Portland; grand scribe, Enoch lfoult, of

hart, of Salem ; grand treasurer, (,'ris
lavlor, of Davton ; grand lecturer, etli
L. Pope, of Portland ; grand captain of
the host, VV. 11. Harris, of Corvallis. the
following are present from Salem: Mult
nomah, No. 1, (Jeo. B. Gray, J. O'Donald,
and E. B. McKlroy.
Incendiary Fire. Last night, about
10 o'clock, a barn back of the China
houses on the south side of State street,
near the ssene of the tire ot Friday night,
was discovered to be in flames. An alarm
was sounded and the department re-
sponded promptly, Capital's getting lirst
water from the hydrant in front of the
house, and also covering themselves all
over with glory, by getting the first en
gine stream. The lire was extinguished
after the roof bail leen burned off', and
the hav in the barn consumed. Iss.
probably ifMRi. No insurance. The build
ing was owned by John Hughes, and was
the barn to the jesidence occupied oy
Geo. Anderson. The origin of the fire
was undoubtedly incendiary.
Fell in the Cistern. last night
while Wui. Aldurson was assisting Cap
itals engine to its place on the cistern
near its house, at the fire, befell through
the ojien mouth of the cistern into the
water below. A rope was hastily secured
and the young man rescued from his
perilous position, little the worse for his
ducking.
THE SAUXDKRS TRIAL.
The Second Trial of Captain W. Wirt i
Saunders for t lie Murder of Clias.
Campbell, in 185!.). Ilegruii.
The second trial of Capt. W. Wirt
Saunders, charged with the murder of
Chas. Campltell in Albany, in October,
1885, was yesterday begun in the circuit
court for Marion county, upon a change
of venue from Linn county, before Judge
Boise.
A long array oi legal talent from Al
bany, Salem, ami Portland, is presented
in the case. For the prosecution there
are District Attorney Belt, George Cham
berlain, ex-district attorney, Ramsey A
Bingham, J. J. Whitney, and Captain N.
B. Humphrey ; for the defense, Weather
ford A Blackburn, John Burnett, Richard
Williams, Powell A Bilyeu, Wolverton A
Irvine, and Tilmon Ford.
About 10:30 a. m., after a number of
motions had been argued and disposed
of, Judge Boise called the case of State
vs. Saunders.
Captain Saunders came into court with
Sheriff Minto and took his seat beside
his attorneys. He is looking well, and
his confinement has not perceptibly dis
agreed with him. In fact, as Sheriff'
Minto stated, his he.ilth is better than it
has been at any time since his incarcera
tion. Saunders was dressed neatly in a
suit of brown material, with collar, cuffs,
aud white necktie. His black hair is
long, and is the only feature of his ap
pearance that is not the embodiment of
neatness. Misses Minnie and Mattie
Allison, the latter being she whose life
was twice in jeopardy for complicity in
the same transaction, were also in at
tendance at the trial, having come up on
the morning train for that purpose.
Miss Minnie has teen teaching in Asto
ria, and Miss Mattie has been ppending
the winter in California. Both appear
well, the latter especially having im
proved much in appearance, the sallow
complexion which long confinement in
jail natu"ally gave her having disap
peared. After the jury had ben empaneled the
cape for the prosecution was stated by
ex-Dist. Atty. Chamberlain, and for the
defense by Mr. Wolverton. The exami
u:i.n of witnesses began immediately.
Iu the afternoon Messrs. D. P. Mason,
James Elgin, Harry Putnam, G. C. Wills,
'. H. Stewart and Dr. G. W. Maston
were examined as to the circumstances
preceding and upon the occasion of the
shooting. The testimony differed in no
material respect from that offered at the
previous Allison and Saunders trials.
At the evening session of the court,
Messrs. A. Condra, Richard Fox, Fred
Hoffman, J. H. Campbell and Oeorge E.
Chamberlin were examined and the pros
ecution rested their case.
Court adjourned until 9 a. m. to-day.
Indicted. Indictments have been
found against Wm. Atkinson, Thomas
Cooper, Oliver Jones, and Orin Green,
for gambling, and they are held to await
the action ot the court in $200 bonds.
All but Cooper furnished bonds, and are
at liberty. Thos. Stevens, the man who
was bound over from the Gervais jus
tice's court for damaging the property of
one of his tenants, was also indicted, and
is now in jail, not having furnished
bonds, ftevens will make an etlort to
have his case continued, and if he suc
ceeds, he says he can furnish bonds.
Albany College. The college chapel
was filled, Monday evening, to listen to
the address of Rev. G. A. McKinley, of
Eugene City, before the literary societies.
His subject was, "The Life of Hugh Mil
ler." It was a rare intellectual treat,
and the speaker commanded the atten
tion of the large audience from first to
last. Quite a number of strangers are in
Albany, attending the commencement
exercises. Ir. Horton is now in Albany,
and gives his famous lecture on "the
Perfect Man," Thursday evening.
Contract Not Let. The school direc
tors have decided not to let the contract
for finishing the East Salem school build
ing just at present. K. T. Denham was
unable to furnish bonds to complete the
building for the only price which the
directors considered they could pay, and
therefore the matter is at present in statu
quo. Whether or not the directors will
decide to go ahead and hmsit the ouilu-
mg by the job, or advertise lor new bids,
is not known.
Congregational Association. The
thirty-ninth annual convention of the
Congregational association of Oegon and
Washington will be held at Plymouth
church in the city of Colfax, Juiiehiih
to l'.tth inclusive. Rev. Dr. A. J. Amler-
son, of Walla Walla, Kev. (J. II. Atkin
son, of Portland, Rev. P. S. Knight, of
Salem, and many outer prominent Chris
tian workers are mentioned in the pub
lished programme of exercises.

Williams, Sunday night, yesterday plead
ed guilty to simple assault, and was fined
$.r) and costs. Being unable to liquidate,
Richard w ill remain in the county jail for
nine tlavs.
FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.
WHEAT AND WOOL.
Wheat was yesterday quoted at ();!t.9-'i
cents. The market has not been dis
turbed on the Pacific coast by the recent
wheat agitations in the Eastern states.
It does net make much difference, how
ever, as far as the present market is con
cerned, inasmuch as there is very little
wheat left to Fell. Wool remains at the
same figure, 25 cents. The price at ier
vais has ranged during the past week
from 20 to 27 cents. Gervais is a go
ahead burg that is not to bo outdone by
any more pretentious town.
Ai.iianyColi.eoe. At 2 o'clock p. m.
Tuesday the student met at Dr. Thomp
son's residence, and, headed by the band,
marched to the college campus and took
fiosition at the tree planted by the seniors.
The exercises here ere both amusing
and interesting. The oration by James
L. Tomlinson was well delivered and very
appropriate to the occasion. In the
chapel the entire programme was carried
out without even a hitch or mistake and
a large assembly greeted the jiert'onners
with hearty applause. But the event of
the day was the address of Rev. F. A.
Horton, D. D., of San Francisco, on "The
Perfect Man." The spacious court room
was packed from corner to corner w ith an
immense audience. But Dr. Horton was
equal to the occasion. Expectations had
been raised high by what had been said,
but they were more than realized. In
rapt and almost breathless attention he
held this large multitude, at times thrill
ing them with his eloquence and power
as a speaker. He spoke for one hour and
twenty-five minutes without manuscript
and with unusual rapidity of thought and
language. The doctor is entitled to rank
with the best lecturers of tiie land, and
Albanv will not soon forget his visit here.
There are several Salem people in attend
ance upon commencement and more are
expected to arrive to-morrow and Thurs
day. Can Be Tried. It is stated that the
loss of the indictment against Dilly and
Johns for entering and robbing the Chi
nese camp near Gervais, will not serve as
a bar against thetr being tried the second
time. The statute makes provision for
cases of this kind, when the offense is
greater than a misdemeanor, the case
can be re-submitted to the grand jury,
and if the evidence against the parties is
sufficient, a new indictment can be found,
and the case can be tried without any re
gard to the loss of the original document.
The attorneys for the defense, contrary to
a natural supposition that they were not
sorry that the indictment was lost, state
that they are very anxious to try the case
en its merits, inasmuch as they are thor
oughly satisfied that a conviction of their
clients is but a remote possibility. Since
the former trial of Dilley and Johns, it
has transpired, as they claim, that this
robbery was one of the little transactions
of Clayton Gates et a!., who were through
this country about that time. The
aroused feeMng of public sentiment
against the perpetrators of the robbery
secured the conviction of Dilley and
Johns, w ho were not the guilty parties at
all.
Indian! War Veterans. On Sunday
afternoon and evening was held in Port
land the second annual reunion of the In
dian war veterans of Oregon. Prominent
among those present were Col. T. B.
Wait, grand commander, Col. John Kel
say, vice-grand commander, Dr. Wm. C.
McKay, Mayor John Gates, of Portland,
Col. Joseph Teal, Col. W. W. Chapman,
Rev. T. E. Elliot, Col. Jan. K. Kelly,
Capt. L. F. Mosher, Dr. K. Ulisan, J. B.
McClain, Wm. A. Daly, John Collins and
others. About one hundred veterans
were in the procession which marched
through the streets of Portland to the me
chanics' pavilion, where the exercises of
the day were held. Mayor John Gates
delivered the address of welcome, which
was very cordial, and was responded to
by Commander T. B. Wait, who spoke at
some length, very feelingly. An address
was delivered by Col. John Kelsay, of
Corvallis, whose subject was "The In
dian War Veterans of the Northwest."
A speech was also made by Dr. Wm. Mc
Kay, of Pendleton, who chose for his sub
ject, "The Indian Wars of Oregon and

TIIE SAUNDERS TRIAL.
Second Day's Prorrediiijrs Testimony
all in, Arcnnient Finished, Charge
t be l( livered To-dii'.
Wednesday morning t ie defense in ti e
Saunders case introduced its first wit
ness. The following were examined :
Alfred Johnson, Mattie Allison, Mrs.
Blakely, F. Anderson, E. Jones, A Bun
gan, H. Hoggs, F. Baker, S. Dorris and
Mrs. Parrii-h. In the afternoon Saun
ders took the stand in his own behalf.
It was the endeavor of the defense to
show that Saunders shot Campbell in
self-defense. The testimony of Miss Alli
son and Saunders was to the effect that
when the three met a quarrel ensued be
tween Campbell ami Saunders, in which
the former made a threatening motion to
ward his hip pocket, as it to draw a revol
ver. mil that thereupon Saunders shot him.
The prosecution, however, claimed that
if any quarrel took place between the
two, Dr. Maston and A. Condia, who
were near, must have beard it, inasmuch
as the words which all parties used after
the shot were very plain. Both Miss
Allison's and Capt. Saunders' stories in
regard to the affair were very consistent,
and the attorneys who cross-examined
them were unable to shake their testi
mony. The evidence was all in about 2:30
o'clock and the argument began. Judge
itamsey opened in a speech of an hour,
in behalf of the prosecution, which was
forcible and logical. Richard Williams
followed in a speech of an hours' duration
in which he pleaded eloquently for the
defendant, and Judge Burnett came after
him and occupied the attention of the
jury for an hour. J. J. Whitney closed
the argument lor the prosecution.
Judge Boise will deliver the charge to
the jury ot 9 a. m. to-day.
Abraham Appointed. The controversy
which has been going on for some time
over the apjiointment of a collector of
customs for the district of Willamette,
at Portland, pas been settled by the
president's appointment of Hyman Abra
ham to the position. When it seemed
jtrobable that Abraham was about to be
ajipointed, several prominent democrats
made a most vigorous protest, but it
seems to have made no impression upon
Mr. Cleveland. Abraham is a Jew, for
merly of Oakland, but more recently of
Portland, and was the democratic nom
inee against Hon. Edward Hirsch for the
state treasuryship in 1882.
Ln Thirty-Five Minutes. Conductor
Young, who has been releasing carrier
pigeons at different stations along the
line of the 0. & C. for some time, on

this city. The pigeon ajipeared some
what confused for a time, and after mak
ing two or three ascendingcircuits around
the depot, started off in the direction of
the penitentiary. It appears, however,
that it got its bearings, and reached its
destination, Shedd station, about thirty
five miles distant, in thirty-five minutes
from the time it was released in Salem.

Number Your Houses. Inasmuch as
the free delivery system goes into effect
July 2d, the importance of having all the
houses within the city limits labeled
with the proper number is apparent.

of, houses provides that all resi
dences, business houses, etc., be num
bered, and a violation of its requirements
is a misdemeanor. A great deal of in
convenience and trouble will be avoided
by a prompt fulfillment of the require
ments of the ordinance.
