On April 6th occurred the elec tion !of the chieftainship of the domain which lies across the creek, south of Athena.' The con tending forces of Chief Coppock and ex-Chief No Shirt Estes were numerously represented at the polls. It is alleged - that much wire pulling and underhanded manipu lating was carried on by the No Shirt faction. Whisky is said to have flowed freely and taken in conjunction with the intimidating iDnuence of the scalping knife was a very patent and favorable factor ai the polls for the No Shirt gang. On the other hand, it is asserted be it said to the credit of the Cop pock contingent that the only misdemeanor they were guilty of was 'copswallowing" a barrel of No Shirt's Bourbon.' after which the head was broken in, and they became so exhilerated that they tarried by the wayside, and many failed to get to the polls at all. It is authentically stated to the reporter that the barrel of whisky was simply a trap set bv the JNo Shirt men; that it was secreted in a place easy of access, and that the Coppock forces readily fell into the trap, with the result that ex-Chief No Shirt was returned to his official power with K heavy ma jority.' ::'zi' The following is the certificate of election issued to Chief No Shirt by clerk of election Eat-No-Meat: Squawthena Precinct, April 6, '96 Hon.

News has been received in this city of the finding by Hugh Arbuckle of the skeleton remains of a hum in being in an alkali lick on the Middle fork of the John Day near the mouth of Granite creek, says the Long Creek Eagle, While looking after some . stock, Mr. Arbuckle was attracted to the lick by a peculiar formation caused by the incessant licking of the 1 animals and the action, of the ele ments for years past. What ap peared to be a knee joint protruding above he surface led Arbuckle to vigorous efforts and with the aid of a pick and shovel what' proved to be the remains of a white man were soon unearthed. Not withstanding the fact that they must have lain for many years in this alkali formation the bones were all well preserved. Many theories are advanced as to the possible identity of the re mains, the most likely of which is that it is a victim of the Indian outbreak of 1878, but as the "lick" nas Deen viBitea dv stoexmen oc casionally for twenty years, some are inclined to believe that the ghastly inhabitant may, have re posed in his natural tomb from the earliest settlement of Grant county. Summer Bodices and Blouses. "Fashionable dressmakers are now making the English distinc tion bet ween the blouse ( whi th we usually call the shirt-waist)and the bodice," writes Isabel A. Mallon in April Ladies' Home Journal. "Both are supposed to be worn with skirts that diner from them in color and material, but the blouse ,18 full, 13 draped, has a tucked or fancy front, with stiff col La r and cuffs, and always Bug gests a rather undress get-up. 1 he bodice fits the figure, and though it may be made of cotton, silk or velvet, it must never suggest, by its trimming or style of collar, the tailor-made or shirt effect. Unlike the blouse it is very often suffici ently elaborate to be worn with the richest tkirt, and the trimming upon it may be ribbons, spangles, laces, feather or lur pipings, and all the very open embroidery that imitates Irish crochet. However, it is the blouse that will be given the greatest popularity during the coming season. Victim of the Rail. Little Matthew Arnold, aged eight, the son of Dan Daffron, a car; repairer of the 0. R. & N. at Umatilla, was run over by the cars at that point about six o'clock Tuesday evening and fatally in jured.. Young Daffron was playing about the depot when the switch engine with two cars attached came along. As it was passing the depot, the boy attempted to board the first car and fell beneath the wheels, the second car passing over him. cutting off one of his legs close to the body and a portion of the foot on the other. The ac cident was witnessed by several employes and he was quickly picked up. Everything possible was done to alleviate his sufferings. A special engine cdnveyed him to Walla Walla for medical attend anc& but his injuries and the shock were too great. He con seqtfently died at 12:30, midnight. Those who are troubled with rheumatism should try a few ap plications of Chamberlain Pain Balm, rubbing the parts vigorously at each application. If that does not bring relief dampen a peiece of nannei witn ram uaim ana mna it on over the seat of pain and prompt relief will surely follow. 1 or &aie by uspurn. , - Good Pasturage.

ATTEMPTING TO KILL. Charge Made Against Lad of Twelve. A short time aero the Press con tained an , account of attempts made on the "lives of the Smith family of Lane county, by ad ministration of noison. It i nnw thought the -persecutor has been found, as the following dispatch from Eugene shows: "Oral Poindexter. a lad of 12 years old, was arrested at his home, four miles north of Coburg, this morning and was brought to thio city this afternoon on a charge of auempiing 10 Kin ine tatnily of Mrs. Hiram Smith, a widow lady, who lives on a farm adjoining that of the Poindexters.
