6- E.I Vol. xviii. Astoria, Oregon. Saturday Morning. October 7, 1882 No. 6. the utm A COLORADO OUTLAW. The Ears of a Victim Tendered in Payment for the Drinks. John Alfred Slade, the noted outlaw and highwayman, jjsed to wear a beaded and gaudily-colored buckskin suit which cost ?50. Sl:ide- exploits are well remem bered by all the old-time settlers in the west. At one time he be came involved in a diflicul L3 with a Frenchman named Jules, an In dian trader, who had spent the greater part of his iife among the Indians of the plains. Upon the establishment of the overland line of stages to Califor nia Jules was much incensed, as he claimed it was an innovation upon the rights of the Indians and the traders, and would bring too" many whites upon the plains. lie waged incessant war upon the overland line, with the aid of In dians and half-breeds, by running off stock and committing other depredations, which were contin ued without restraint until John Alfred Slade appeared upon the scene as a diiion agent from Kearney west. This man was a refugee from justice, having killed a man in his native county of Clin ton, 111. Soon after taking charge of the division Slade became the terror of the road, and his bold and reckless daring involved him in numerous quarrels with stock thieves and others. His quick aim and steady nerve sent many a des perado to a bloody grave; in fact, he sought quarrels, and, to use the parlance of the limes, "always got liis man." A deadly feud existed between Jules and Slade, and the former resolved on his (Sladc's) death. Knowing that on a certain day Slade would come down the road on the overland coach, Jules laid for him at the station, and as the former alighted from the coach, fired upon upon him with his gun both barrels of which took effect, and as his enemy lay writhing upon the 'earth, poured the con tentents of his dragoon pistol into his body. Then mounting a horse, Jules rede into the mountains, feaiing tho vegeanco of Sladc's friends. Strange and unaccountable as it may seem, Slade was found to be alive and was carried into the sta tion, and, though lingering on the point of death for months, he re covered from his wounds and laid his plans for the capture of his encury, who was finally hunted down and 'taken to Bovey's Sta tion. The names of the captors of Jules were Nelson, Vaugh, John Fry, and another man, who is now a resident of Montana. Those three men, having secured Jules, sent a messenger for Slade, and the bloody men again met face to face. This time, however, Slade had the drop, being heavily armed and with the three armed captors of Jules at his back. Well know ing his doom was scaled. j Jules stood up and demanded half a cliariccrrfor his life. "You gave me no show," retorted Slade, "but take this and defend yourself," handing the Frenchman a pistol which he knew well would not re volve and the next instant sent a ball through the forehead of Jules near the top of the skull, who reeled and fell. Slade and his party then returned to the next room to take a drink, but upon re turning found the prostrate Frenchman gone. Horses were mounted and the country scoured to no effect; but upon returning to the station the wounded Jules was found In an outhouse covered with hay. He was led out and shot through the mouth, and again at the base of the right ear, which finished the job. Vaughn cut off the ears of the dead man and gave one to S lade, reserving the other. The two worthies then enme to; Denver with these bloody trophies in their pocket, and wore them out at the" different .bars on a pro-, longed spree in slapping them on the counter as a tender for pay- ment of drinks. Colorado Ga- zette. Shams V3. Substance. Theodore Parker, in speaking of home and home life, says: I never saw a garment too fine for a man or maid; there never was a chair too good for a cobbler or a cooper to set in: never a house too fine to shelter a human head. The elements about u, the gorge ous skv. the imperial mhi are not too good for the human lace. Elegance fits man. Mut do we not value these tools of house keeping a little more than they are worth, and sometimes mortgage home for the mahogany we would bring iitlo it? I had rather eat my dinner off the head of a barrel, or rather dress after the fashion of i John the Baptist in the wilderness, or set on a block all my life, than consume myself before I get home, and take so much pains with the outside that the in.-ide wast as hol low as an empty nut. Beauty is a great thing, but beauty of gar ments, house and furniture is a very tawdry ornament compared with domestic love. All the ele gance in the world will not make a home, and 1 would give more fori a spoonful of heart' love than for a whole ship load of furniture, and all the upholsterers of the. world could gather together. Miss Louisa Montague, Mr. Forepaugh's 10,000 beauty, h:is filed a declaration in a Philadel phia court, stating the grounds of a suit which she has recently insti tuted against the veteran show man for 10,000 damages. She says she was accepted as the "loveliest lady in the land," and as such was promised a reward of $10,000; but although she appear ed in the street processions or grand pageant of the defendant for thirty weeks during the spring and summer of 1881, she avers that Mr. Forepaugh has entirely failed to pay iier the promised 10,000. The publishers of a German novel scored a hk recently in the line of advertising. They had in serted in most of the papers a no tice stating that a certain noble-man-of means, anxious (o obtain a wife, wanted one who resembled the heroine in the novel named. Of course every marriageable woman who saw this announce ment bought the novel to see how much she resembled the imaginary beauty- referred to. The New Northwest, published in Philadelphia, says: This sea son, and as soon as the road of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company is completed Irom The Dalies to Portland, its entire con struction force will be transferred to the line of the Northern Pacific between Kalatna and Portland. The connection with Puget Sound at Tacomawill soon be made. A prosperous Michigan baby carriage factory had its origin in the birth of fifteen babies in the town in thirteen da-s. A carpen ter got the job of making carriages for the whole number, and from that start the business grew. A strong friend of St. Jacobs Oil is H. T. Duncan, Esq., of the Lexington, (Ky.) Press. He says: A short time since St Jacobs Oil was prescribed in my own laihily by a regular physician, and it was used with the most satisfactory results, as usual. The Retort Sarcastic. Judge Tarbell tells the following joke on himself. A short time after his retirement from the bench he happened to meet an old friend whom he hadn't seen for some time. The judge, all smiles and j heartiness, effervesced over his friend in such a way as to provoke the inquiry: 'What oflice are you a candidate'! IAS IIWII Jl4W"V,fc The judge made a deprecatory movement with un outward turned palm, and said: "For none at all, my dear broth er; I'm simply a candidate for the I kingdom of heaven." nis friend regarded him sorrow fully for an instant, and then, with more wit than politeness, and more profanity than either, said: "I'll bet you don't carry a d township!"' Doubtless the judg lost ight of the man's profanity in a.lmiratton of his sublimelv truthful candor. The Sutro Tunnel, now com pleted, discharges :i0,000.000 gal lons hot water daily from Corn stock mines. This water has a temperature of 10o. and is con veyed through a closed pine Hume to prevent the escape of vapor. After a passage of four miles through the first tunnel it looses ?0 of heat. A second tunnel, 1,100 feet long and an open water way a mile and a half long, con ducts the water to Carson river. Along its course are hot-water baths and laundries, and a plan is on foot to conduct the hot water through pipes under ground, to be made available for purposes of irrigation and for supplying artificial heat to hot-houses. The incidents of Congressman Starin's only speech in congress are related by his friends as fol fel fol eows: A bill was under discus sion for the sale of a portion of the Brooklyn Xav' Yard for about 200,000. A syndicate of the politicians were to be the purchas ers. Mr. Starin rose in his seat, pale as a ghost, and said earnestly: "Mr. Speaker, 1 am not familiar with all your rules here, aud J do not know whether or not I am in order; but you have a property i here which vou are going to sell for 200,000 and J will at this moment draw my check for it fori 500,000." The bill was killed. Oregon is the finest country God's sun ever shone on with California as a close second. It may .eem strange for a Califor nian to speak so, but what is the use of denying facts'? Oregon took the prize for wheat, all over the world at the Centennial, and the Willamette valley is well known as the "garden spot of the world." But we speak of Califor nia and Oregon as states. There is land in Oregon which can in no wise compare with California and vice versa. We would detract from neither's laurels, but speak the exact truth. Stanislaus Call forma) Wheat (xroiocr. A twenty-one pound salmon was caught the other day in Feather river, California, at the mouth of the Yiba the first salmon caught in the Feather for many years. The incident is note worthy, as indicating a great im provement in the quality of the watciycauscd by the stoppage of hydraulic mining on the Feather. In attempting to ascend the Yuba the fish iloundered in a bed of slickens, and a man waded out and caught it in his hands.
