A DASH FOR LIBERTY BY
. SALEM CONVICTS.
On the morning of the 3d an at
tempt was made by a number of
convicts in the Salem penitentiary
to escape, and the attempt was
partially successful. The break
was made by workmen in the
foundry, who captured Warden
Collins on the bridge over Mill
creelc, between the foundry build
ing and the penitentiary. Having
captured him they kept him be
tween them and the guard on the
stockade, near the penitentiary
building, and forced him ahead of
them as a shield. About this time
the alarm was given, and the
guard at the gate next to the peni
tentiary, named Stilwell, was the
only one within shooting distance
of the conspiring convicts. As
they came near the gate the con
viots ordered it to be opened, but
Warden Collins told Stilwell not
to open the big gate but to open
the small one which led to the
front rooms of the jienitentiary
buildings. The guard did as
Collins directed, and as the band
passed under him he shot Ben.
Rivers, alias McGibben (sent from
Multnomah couuty for burglary)
in the back, killing him almost
instantly. He next shot Sitka
Jack or Jack "Williams, also from
Multnomah county for burglary,
through the shoulders and lungs
killing him. The next shot killed
a convict named Brown, the shot
taking effect in the head. The
crowd of convicts with Warden
Collins then entered the front
portion of the penitentiary build
ing, and the convicts secured a
gun and pistol in the turnkey's
room, after which they passed out
of the building and through the
gate to the open road. In the
meantime Stilwell was getting in a
shot as often as possible, and he
succeeded in badly wounding two
others. The wounded men are
both from Marion county, named
John McKean, sentenced for thirty
years for burglary and robbery
arid "Wm. Smith also robbery and
burglary sentenced for fifteen
years. The others of the escaping
convicte then passed out of the
west gate and escaped to the
brush. Their names are Tim
Garwood, from Multnomah county;
John Darby, from Grant county;
George 13eachamp, from Grant
county; George Mansfield, from
Multnomah, George Disbrow, from
Marion, "Wm. Bradshaw from
Marion, Henry Glenn from Marion,
Nap Rinhart from Multnomah, and
"Wm. Eldridge from Multnomah.
A reward of one hundred dollars
for each of the escaped convicts
has been offered by the prison
authorities, and there is no doubt
that most, if not all of them, will
be captured. The prison officials
had been suspecting an attempt to
escape by some of the convicts for
some time, but were unable to
ascertain definitely the time the
attempt would be made. Warden
Collins was assaulted with a knife
but received no serious injury
No other officials were hurt
Parties are in pursuit of the es
caped convicts and thev will
doubtless be captured.
It is understood that the gover
nor has called on a company of
militia to pursue the escaping con-
Tic ts, and capture them dead or
alive. There is poor prospect for
their successful escape. Those
who are out are very hard charac
ters and would not hesitate to do
murder.
Manning's sawmill, on Gale
creek, Washington county, was
burned on Tuesday. The fire
caught from the furnace, and in
spite of the efforts of the employes
and neighbors the establishment
was completely destined. Loss
$10,000; uninsured. The mill had
just been fitted up with new ma
chinery. A barn near by was also
burned. The residence of James
Woods, on Gale creek, was burned
a few days ago, having caught
from a fire in the timber.' All the
contents were destroyed including
100 in greenbacks. Fires are
raging in the mountains along
Gle creeje and further damage to
Sutfdings is feared. Oregoniari.
The Way the People's Money Goes.
About $2,000,000
worth ol
printing is annually done in the
government printing office. 1 he
documents are printed ututar a
joint resolution of both houses of
congress, and each member is
credited with a proportionate
share. As the lose of the season
approaches the members go to the
document rooms and find out how
their account .-.lands
11 any oooi.-j
are still to their credit they order i
them sent home or to their rooms j
,. ,
n W ashmton, or authorize ome j
ofiler disposition 10 he
them. Verv frequent 1 V members
make exchanges, and often the ex
changes are in the shape of cash
from dealers. J t is frequently the
case, again, that a member can
pay ofi' some obligation by a load
ol valuable public documents. It
is alleged that once a sitting mem
ber, who held a contested seat,
saw by the vote in progress on his
case that in a few more minutes he j
would be unseated, and, wise in
tune, he rushed to the document .
room while the yeas and nays were
being called, drew all his "books,
franked and directed them to a
friend's house, and saw them safe
ly off before the vote was an
nounced. A member's share of public doc-
luncuib i wy u
ii'cant perquisite. Hi gels, rough
ly speaking, one four-hundredth i
part of the publications, or 83,000,
worth, an amount equal in value!
to his salary. The collection j
would not sell for that sum, of j
course, and yet the cash value of J
a complete set of public docu- j
ments for a 3 ear would be consul -
erable. While much rubbish 3s 1
printed, some of the books an
valuable, and much desired by;
certain classes of constituents. :

from rural districts, often exchange j

The recent strike of 7,000 (Jhi-
i
neso on the Uregon Lainorniai
railroad near Shasta was due, it
seems, to extortion on the part of
the Central Pacific managers. The
Chinamen are paid $1 u day and
are forced to buy all their provis
ions of Sisson & Crocker, a firm
which is only one of the inside
wheels of the great monopoly.
This firm charges from ?4: to $G a
sack for rice which Shasta mer
chants sell for 3 or 3.50. The
charges for other articles are in
similar proportion. Naturally the
Chinese rebelled and demanded
$125 a day and the privilege of
buying supplies where they can
get them the cheapest. As the
sir companies are said to back the
strikers, the chances are that white
haniswill be put on the road.

There is Indian trouble again
on Skagit. The surveyor general
ordered a sutvey f lands on the
Skagit river, about the Sauk in
Whatcom county last fall. The
Indians objected to have the lands
surveyed, but the engineers disre
garded their objections and went
on with their work in obedience to
orclnrs -asl wftek soim. two mn.
de(1 lndians started from all parts
of Whatcom county to go up and
put a stop to the surveying. Word
came a few days ago, that Oapt. .1.
T. Berry had been stopped in this
work, and asked for assistance.
About a year and a half ago, Dud
Icy Henry, of this city, undertook
the same work and was stopped
by these indians y ,-anseripl.
