Tomahawk of Indians by Secreting
Selves Under the Floor.
An unexpected meeting o f survivors
of the W'hitmnn massacre, neither one
of whom knew the other was living, is
to r«**ult from the publication o f the
story o f Mr». Matilda Delaney.
The
other survivor is A. R. Osburn, whose
father wu* one o f the only two men to
escape.
Mr. Osburn has been living
near Eugene for some time but has
moved here this week to mnke this his
home.
Mr. Osburn was only two years of
age at the time o f the massaere and
remembers nothing o f the circumstances
except that told him by his parents.
The family heard the Indians killing
the people nnd succeeded in getting un
der the house by removing a loose board
of the floor. A t night, after most of
the Indians hud left, the family escaped.
Leaving his family hidden in the brush
three miles from the scene o f the mas
sacre. the father went on to Fort Wal
lulu thirty miles away for assistance.
The family had nothing but a loaf of
brend and a piece o f cold mush with
which to sustain life while the father
wns gone. I'pon his return the father
fully exp»«cte»i to find all »lend, either
from privation or nt the hands o f the
Indians, and was surprised to find their
condition gooil considering what hnd
been emlured. A baby which live»! only

left her in a condition from which she

FERNINST ARGUE
IN PUBLIC
Lecture by Dr. E. A. Cantrell Against
Prohibition Is Taken Exception to by
President
of
Anti-White Slave As
sociation. Billed for Some Night.
The lecture o f Edward A. Cnntrell on
" T h e Twelve Fundamental Fallacies *>f
Proh ibition " and that of r>r. F. II. Es-
serf o f Denver on the white slave tra f
fic, although occurring on following
nights, enme pretty close to merging in
to one nnother and for n time both men
hail the floor.
Dr. Esaert was also to have lectured
on Thursday night but dismissed his
audience and nil went to the Cantrell
lecture. During the course of his re
marks Mr. Cantrell said that the liquor
business was not primarily to blame
for the white slave traffic and referred
to the lecture that wns to hnve been
given the same evening on the white
slave traffic.
A fter this lecture had
b»*en concluded Rev. Aldrich asked per
mission to make nn announcement. The
privilege being grante*! him. he an
nounced a lecture by Mr. Essert for
the following evening, adding thut
some of the statements made nt the first
talk would be answered in the lecture
the following night. This provoked a
spirited reply from Mr. Cantrell nnd
when Mr. Essert in leaving the hall
complimented Mr. Cantrell upon mak
ing the most intelligent talk h*» hml
heard upon that subject, n spirited argu
ment followed that was fully as inter
esting ns the lecture thnt hnd preceded
it. Both men were »hoot »«quallv sup
ported by the part o f the audience that
hnd not left ami th»«re was no lack of
appreciation of the hits made by tho
debaters.
Mr. Cantrell, who is a former prtsich-
er and an able speaker, made what even
those opposed to him admitted was a
very intelligent exposition o f his side
o f the question.
He used quotations
from Jane Add a ms, Frances Willard,
Leslie Shaw and others in support of
his contentions nnd had voluminous
data to support every argument.
He
used data to dispose of some of the
claims o f writers who hnd told o f the
results o f prohibition in Kansas and
pr*««*ented statistics to show that many
license states nr«»- ahead o f Kansas in
education, lack o f illiteracy, lack of in
sanity and in moral conditions.
In his talk Friiiay evening Dr. Es
sert, who is a very fluent sp«*aker, took
the datu und quotations submitted by
Mr. Cantrell and drew »«ntirely different
conclusions therefrom. He successfully
showed that liquor must take u large
part o f the blame for the white slave
traffic.
