ASTORIA, OREGON, FKIDAY MORNING,
AN ATROCIOUS CRIME
Eansome Stokes Murdered and
Body Burned.
MINERS CELEBRATE AT WALLACE
Graves of tlio Rioters of 1892 Deco
rated Northern Pacific Tun
nel Being Repaired.
Seattle, July U.-Sunnytfale, a sparse
ly settled community about eight miles
from this city, has been the scene of a
fiendish and mysterious murder. ,
Ransom Stokes, the victim, was a mid
dle aged man, well educated, and able to
live without labor on money he received
from property In the East. Of late he
has been advertising' for a wife, and on
that account was at the postofflce fre
quently. ( - .
Yesterday It was discovered that he
had not been for his mail for ten days,
bo a search ws made. His house was
found locked, but on looking through the
window It waa noticed that things were
In confusion. The people, knowing that
he was in the balKf-of, bathing every
morning in a little creek that runs
through the woods, some distance from
the house, went there. (Nothing was
found, but an odor waa noticed coming
from the woods. A . search resumed in
the discovery about one hundred yards
from the house, In the dense brush, a
large pile of logs, roots, etc. Under one
side were the remains of a Are which had
burned into the pile some llstan.ee. The
Stench from this heap was terrible, but
one of the men got down on his knees
and looked through a hole and discov
ered the remains of a human being. The
coroner was Immediately notified and
returned there this afternoon. He found
that the fire which had been set to the
pile was Intended to burn up the remains
of Ransom Stokes. The face, hands and
neck .were scorched, but nothing more,
On taking' ,the body from Its place tt
was found that ten buckshot had been
flred Into the man's back, piercing the
heart and lungs.
Suspicion restB on Fred Kindling and
Charles Kindling, two cx-convlcts who
were neighbors of ,Stokes and whdm
Btokes said he had ordered off the place.
The two men iare under arrest but deny
any. knowledge of the crime.
MINERS CELEBRATE.
"Wallace, Idaho, July Jl. The Miners'
Union celebration of the riots of 1882,
was held today, this being the aonlver
sary of the blowing up of the 'Frisco
concentrator and the killing of three
Union and two non-Unlon men.
Bath railroads touching here refused
special train -service so that the Ward'
ner Miners' Union, and Knights of Labor
from that vicinity came up in wagons
and on horseback. The train from Can
yon Creek came in at 10 a. m., bringing
over 4,000 people, old and, young. At 11
o'clock the procession formed four
abreast, and moved In the direction of
the cemetery, headed by the band. There
were 610 men aifoot and nineteen vehicles
carrying 126 more, principally women and
children.
The graves of the three men who were
killed during the riot were decorated with
flowers; then the -speakers addressed the
.audience. Heretofore remarks have been
inflammatory, but the fact that Adjutant
General Capwell organized two militia
companies at Wardner this Week, and
was present In Wallace to Immediately
advise the state government in case of
trouble, had a cooling effect. The Union
men were officially advised that any vio
lence would result ln martial law, of
which they ore much afraid. Walter A.
Jones, a Union sympathizer, Thos. Hen
ry, president of the Burke Union; H.
L. Hughes, a typo on the Union, a paper
puDi.stiea here, and Ed. Boyer, a noto
rious labor agitator, were the speakers.
A home-made poem describing the blow
ing up of the -mill, was delivered by Mrs.
Williams, of Gem. This concluded the
exercises at the cemetery. Returning to
WaHace at 1:30 p. m., they engaged in
contests for prizes, coritr'buted by the
cftizens, which lasted all the afternoon.
Three-fourths of the Canyon Cheek del
egation returned home on the regular
afternoon train.
The Bunker JIM mine at Wardner, 12
miles distant, is gradually filling at the
reduced scale, of J2.S0 for laborers, and
13.00 for miners. This is Ithe great bone
of contention, and It Is generally recog
nized that nothing but the prompt aclion
Of Governor McMConnell in Insuring state
protection has prevented a reproduction
of the outrages Which have d (graced
that district for the past three years.
NORTH IJR'N PACIFIC TUNNEL.
Tacooia, July 11. It wHI take until Sat
urday; night to repair the burned out
tunnel on the Northern Pacific railroad
two miles west of Stampede tunnel. The

years of age, both flsb peddlers, shot
one another fatally today near this place,

time, and when they met on the road
itoday they began quarreling about the
prices for which they were selling fish.
After a few words they pulled their pis
tols and began firing. Held was shot
four times and Moore three. The wounds
of both are probably fatal.
TURN THE NEGROES (BACK.
jjenver, July 11. A special1 to iue
Times from El Paso, Tex., says: The
news reaches here tfrom Mapima, Mex-
Ico. that Bill Ellis, a pegro agitator,
who duped 800 negroes from Alabama and
Georgia Into going to Tlahuilo, Durango
for Harm work, where they became prac
tically enslaved, has been sent to con
duct the negroes back to the American
border, where they will be turned loose.
The negroes have been dying so fast
and proved so .unruly that the managers
resolved to get rid of them.

Meeting Held Yesterday With
Mr. Hammond.
-
MATTERS SO FAR SATISFACTORY
Bat Some Important Links Still
Lackiny-New Equipment for
Seaside Eoad Arrives.
The committee of twenty-one yester
day held a meeting in the chamber of
commerce, at which Mr. Hammond was
present. The committee presented thtir
report of subsidy on the east side, and
right of way furnished, together with the
bond for the unsecured rightof way.
Mr. Hammond stated that the right of
way matters were entirely satisfactory
and that the subsidy to east side prop
erty was In good shape with the excep
tion of one deed, which was Jacking, and
which must come Jn. This deed Is to
property of one of the most prominent
citizens, and Mr. Hammond expressed
the greatest confidence that the gentle
man would no longer Stand in the way.
One of the prominent "merolbers of the
committee stated that he was surprised
at the Unusual amount of patience ex
hibited by Mr. Hammond, over the un
called for delays on both sides of the bay.
Matters on the west side, where promi
nent Astorlans had large holdings, were
particularly vexatious. One gentleman
had given his deed but with a string
tied to ft so that it made it doubtful
if he was ,ta keep' his contract at all
Had all of the others Imposed such con
ditions It might have been different, but
the others had net, and there was no oc
casion for such a condition, in his opin
ion. The Flavel Land Co.. about whom
many unkind things had been said, were
the first to put in (their deed to hundreds
of acres, and had stood by the entire
proposition from Its inception. Others
had promptly ' com, to., the front, the
full llet not now-being accessible, but
which will be given as soon as possible.
The gentleman thought that 4t was very
poor business policy for men to dally tn
this manner, but believed that all would
realize the situation in a few days and
rapidly close their contracts. ,
Mr. . Hammond stated that he would
commence work next weak If the subsidy
matters were closed that he would com
mence work on the lDth If the subsidy
deeds iwere turned in before that time,

STATE NEWS.

Tne East Oregonlari says: "The

MOKiniiey school. 80 far it is consCstent.
o rar, so good. Recently it said: "India
grows wheat with cheap silver, and
Mexico, Japan, China and the South Sea
islands produce cotton in the same way,
ana uie wneat grower ana the cotton
plainlt'er of the United States have to meet
that competition." This signifies that with
'cheap silver labor would be poorer naJd
than It is now. Cheap silver alvea us
cheap latoer, doe lt7 How strange this
Is, In the face of the fact that from
tine surface one gains the Idea that 'pro
tection' insures higher wages and that
'free silver does the same thing, but the
truth Cs the result Is the opposite, in
spite df the spell that is cast over the
mind of the average man who supports
these theories that promise 'something
for nothing.' "
Here is what the Salem Post thinks
about the latest presidential sensation:
"And so Ruth and Esther have another
little sister. The president by and bye
will find himself In the position of the
old farmer who lived la Missouri and bad
seven daughters. He always tried to
live as far back in the timber as possi
ble, but It was at a time when Missouri
was filling up very fast. Whenever a
new town was started and a dress
makefs shingle went up, the old man
quitted the homestead and moved further
back into the woods. We hope the presi
dent will not be driven to this alternative,
but that there will soon be a change
In the program. How would Naomi do

George Baker, according to the East
Oregonlan, living across tha river in

"Cruel fata has dealt unkindly with

plaintive cry of the Corvallls Tiroes.
"He was aboard the Bouthern Paciflo

The Albany Democrat has been pre
vented from doing its editorial columns
Justice, by reason, of the heat., It says:
"The Pendleton 'East Oregonlan says that
Capt. Paul Webb deserved the daith he
received at Coeur d'Alene for his foolish
ness and for being a fake, passing him
self off as Paul Webb when he was not.
On the some line of reasoning there are

AN IMPORTANT POINT.
Surplus above liabilities (s the true
measure of strength of financial Insti
tutions, therefore the" Equitable of New
York Is the strongest of all life insurance
companies, as tt has many millions the
largest surplus of any company in ex- ,
tatence. Why should you then carry a
Policy in an Ill-managed company when
you can have one in the Equitable for
the same price. Consult L. Samuel, or
