HUBDER AT SEASIDE Rancher Pete Mattel n Killed By a Halt-Breed In (Jia:i. 8HOT WITH A RIFLE. Tho Bullet Was Intended for Ed ward Alcaraz, With Whom He Had Had Trouble. Yesterday evening about 8 o'clock, John Campo, a half-breed Indian and Mexican, chot and killed Peter Mattson, rancher, in the Exchange saloon at Seaside, a ball from a 44.73 Winchester rifle striking him in the neck, killing As nearly as can be learned, Camio did not intend that Mattson should be his victim, but either Ed. Alcaraz, clerk In J. II. Johnnsen'a slore, or Richard Kbormon, proprietor of the Exchunge saloon. It seems that Campo, who was Intox icated yesterday picked a quarrel with Alcaraz, and it Is said threatened to knife him. knife him. He Is known as a quarrel some man when under the Influence of liquor, and they kept out of his way, He Insisted on fighting, but was finally taken to a tent by the two men men tioned, and his knife taken away from him. It was thought then that he would sleep off his drunk, but no sooner had they left than Campo slipped out and going to his room secured a rllle and returned to the Exchange saloon. The door was partially open at the Urn.', a number cf people being inside. Campo reeled up to the walk in front of the saloon, and pftlting the gun toward someone Inside, fired, the bullet passing through tha casing and strik ing Matt-ton, who was leaning up against the bar, the ball going clear through his heck and killing him In stantly. Campo attempted to pump another shell Into the barrel, but lt caught, and before he had a chance to loosen It, Constable Stanley had him covered with a gun anil demanded him to surrender. The half-breed was not too drunk to understand the meaning of the constable's warning demand, for he instantly lowered his rllle and gave himself in charge of the ofllcer, and was soon landed in the town Jail. Inside the saloon all was confusion when the sharp crack of the rifle sound ed and pour Mattson fell, his Ufeblood making a great stain on the unear pet.d floor. He wua immediately pick ed up and carried to a room In the rear of the ' building and a physician sent for, but the latter act was unnecessary, as he was dead the moment he struck tho floor. The prisoner was brought to the city this morning by Countable Stanley and loiVred in jnil. His hearing will take place before Justice Abercromblo to morrow morning. MatlAm was at one time a saloon keeper (n Upiht Astoria, but for the past few years, lias lived with his fam ily on a ranch neur Seaside. CamiKi, the half-breed, has lived around Seaside for a number of years, In the employ of Mrs. 8. F. Cluyt.jn, on her Elk Creek ranch. When euber he I was a p-aaeeable and quiet mini, but Just the contrary when under the Inllu- I nnn. rwf lltn.if There are those who contend that. Campo did not fir 3 at Mattson, but that the gun was accidentally discharged. I'OUTIERES MUST HANG fnOM RINGS ON POLES.

Tho 14th Infantry Hand Excursion a Q rand Success. Yesterday morning long before the hour advertised for tho Seaside excur sion, crowds began to gather on the Telcphono dock, somo of them there out of curiosity to see the picnickers start, but most of them with round trip tickets In their pockets. They were a jolly good-natured crowd that went aboard the steamer, fully 250 in number, and when Young's Bay trestle was reached, it was found that, the other steamers .had already arrived. with, fully as many more, and when all were on board the cars, nine coaches were pretty comfortably tilled. Late on Saturday night a fine, drift ing fog set In and continued throughout the nlghit. Sunday morning found As toria under a still heavier fog bank, that made the air rather cool, but far from uncomfortable. , On the way to Seaplde, at each of the stations passed, the band greeted the assembled crowds with strains of mili tary music, thut caused the on-lookers to cheer tho Vancouver boys heartily as the t-.-aln pulled out. At Gearhurt l'ark fully 300 people were at the station as the train pulled In. It only stopped a moment, Just long enough for Engineer Stoner to fill up the water tank, when they pulled out again for Seaside, the Four teenth Infantry bony playing "Nearer My Clod to Thee." Hut at Seaside a surprise awaited the excursionists, nearly a thousand people being congregated on tho platform n.t '..hat plnr when tho long train, of cars pulled Into the station, Manager Seeloy, of the steamer Tel ephone Company, r.ecom milled the mer ry party to Seaside, and after the train arrived he was kept. Uisy for a while looking after tho comfort of the band. They all had a good time. Many' took " their lunch baskets along, and when tho noon hour arrived, dined uiuter tho shade of the trees In Grimes' Grove. The hotels received their share of the guests, and the Ice cream stands were right in it. At 11 o'clock, the hour for bathing, saw fully two hundred people, men, women and children, sporting In the breakers. A big surf waa rolling, and the water was mild and Invigorating. In the afternoon the band entertain ed a large audience at the platform In Gilbert's Park, Mr. Gilbert doing all In his power to make the visit of the ex cursionists a pleasant on. Many of them danced to the splendid music of the band, and If there waa any one who failed to have a good tin, they did not make themselves known. It waa an orderly crowd, and they returned home In the evening tired but! pleased with their day's outing. 8ELLINO at 25 per cent discount lots In Hill's First addition to Orotn lirove, Seaside.

Kkstrom, the Jewelea, FOR SUPERIOR QUALITY VERY On the famous Lorelei Rock which rises from tho glorious Jold Rhine near St. Uoar, there sits, accoiding to -j a t . the tier man legend, a beauti ful siren combing her long golden hair, holding aloft a foaming beaker ot beer and singing a ravishing song. Boatmen are so entranced by her voice that they draw near and drink the beer, ana be come so enchanted that they refuse to return to the common earth This is tho same with John Kopp's famous N. P. Beer that wo will deliver bottled to any part of the city. ' It is a beer that should be drank by every woman who wonders why she lacks strength and has no heart in her every dav duties; bv every man vh'. durum these warm days, feels overcome by a feeling of -ay ill las-itude and wishes he nau no work to do; by every person who has a caro lor that com plete piece of , machinery which we call the hum am body.

BRYAST & MATTHEWS, J; KRST-I50S CL0THEH5 THE mmm flpH at tr?e-"."-cZX LOWEST PRICES, Go to C. H TO THE TAX-PAYERS OF ASTOMA. On the suggestion of the city's attor neys, Messrs. John H. Smith and Ful ton Brothers, the common council has pjillfvl fen election of the tax Davera to be held Tuesday, 4he 21st Inst., for the purpose of authorizing the city to Institute leirnl Droceedlncs for the con demnation of the necessary right-of- way to lay a pipe line to Bear Creek, that the city may have a better supply of water. From several routes surveyed, Mr. A. L. Adams, the hydraulic engineer employed by the commission, has with their approval, selected a different route than is followed by the present pipe line, consequently rights-of-way must be obtained before the pipe line can be laid. Many of the owners of lands over which the new line runs have granted the right-of-way at almost, nominal fig ures; others ask more than the com commission think Is fair for the wter consumers of the city to pay, and all who are acquainted with land values pronounce their claims entirely beyond! reason. I The commission may be mistaken as to these values, therefore they desire' to leave the question of valuation to the 'courts to determine. One suit has been instituted and Judgment rendered for condemnation at a less sum than was asked; other suits can be brought "without" the vote of the tax-payers on the 21st Inst, but the "attorneys" have advised this action of the tax-payers and the author ities are acting accordingly. A pretty fair road will have to be opened along the line, In order to haul the pipe, and to travel over afterward in maintaining It. A well-graded road has been con structed along Portland's new water pipe line, and from this, the Idea oc curred that a public road might be laid along this line, and kept In repair by the city or by the city and county com bined. , . Tho owners of the property between the city and Bear Creek were asked for deeds to a strip of land sixty feeb wide with permission to the city to lay a pipe, and If It choose, maintain a high way. So much was asked for the right-of-way on this basis, that the width was reduced to thirty-three (33) feet, still the price asked In most cases seems excessive. In condemnation proceedings In the courts the city can obtain NO right to open or maintain a -"public road," only the right to lay and maintain the pipe line. Wil.h the exception of two small tracts the pipe-line does knot run through a foot of Improved land. In In fact, without water, of a road, the land is ' absolutely worthless now, and never would have a value. It Is Impossible for new works to be put In this winter, but right-of-way can bo determined upon by the courts if that should be found necessary, and the line cleared -during the winter, for active work next spring. If right-of-way is not secured this fall or win ter, next summer may be consumed In Uie effort to obtain right-of-way and building be again postponed another year. Neither the present commission nor the city council or a new board of commissioners can build new water- works until tho right-of-way shall be determined. While the tax-payers are the ones who do the voting on this subject, it Is tho "water consumers," and not the tax-payers who pay the "bonds," and the expenses of the wa!ir department. New works can only bo built by monies obtained from the sale of bonds, and these bonds, together with the interest must be met by the water consumers. and not by tho tax-payers, as many are led to believe. The question has often been asked: Whj the work has not been pushed i.isien io mis question we can only answer, "Because we have never felt justified In assuming the responsibility of purchasing these rights-of-way at ex orbitant figures" asked, and without a right-of-way no water-works ean be built.
