a Farm Wagon.
A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
He Was Well Known in the
"East End."
A shocking accident occurred Saturday
evening at Milton in which William Ren
ick loBt hia life. He was driving a span
ol horses, when they became frightened

CHEHALIS' GREAT . MILE.
An Exhibition at Riverside Track
Umahollis Goes a Half.
The Multnomah Driving Association's
annual summer meet Tat Riverside track
was pulled off on Saturday. The features
were the performances of Ohehalis and
Umahollis, Frank Frazier's two fast ani
mals. The track is a half-mile one, and
all the horsemen admitted it was five
aeconds slow for a mile. For tbe Mult
nomah .Association's meet. Frank Frazier
kindly offered an exhibition pace of his
bay filly Umahollis, by Ohehalis, who
went half a mile with 1 :0OK placed to
her credit There is no doubt but that
this filly will develop wpnderful speed
and make a new record in her class.
Tbe applause tbat greeted the appear
ance of Ghebalis was deafening, as tbe
beautiful black stallion came around the
track, to be warmed up for his exhibi
tion pace. He was driven a mile, and
made a new mark to be met in future
races in this state, scoring the mile in
2:10. Allowing five seconds for the
difference in tracks, as Riverside is slow
er to that extent, Ohehalis has beaten
his own time of 2:07 by one and a
quarter seconds.
It will probably be many a day before
the people of Oreesn will sea this timn
beaten. East Oregonian.
CONTRACT WITH HENDLEY.
County Court Makes an Agreement
for Reindexing of Records.
Eswt Oregoninn: The eounty court
has entered into a contract with F. W.
llendley whereby the latter is to receive
a compensation for re-indexing all the
mortgages and deeds recorded in the re
corded of conveyance's office, at 7 cents, a
description. The contract provided that
in no event shall the compensation in the
aggregate exceed $5000.
When the mortgages have been rein
dexed, the county is to Ibbiio warrants in
payment for that part of the work, and
the deeds are to bo paid for when they
have been completed. The new Oott'e
system is to be used.
Harry E. Bickers, the new recorder,
says he will petition for an Injunction
against the carrying out of the contract,
olHiming the law provides that the re
corder must do the work.
The original law required that the
clerk do this indexing, and allowed him
10 cents a description. But the clerk
hns not the realty records now in his
office.
The contract has been regularly drawn
and signed by the county clerk, B 8.
Burroughs, with J, M. Letzer and Ahlo
S. Watt as witnesses. It is thought the
work will consume two years.
Goes to Alaska.
John Dodson left Sunday evening on a
trip which will take him far into the
north region and close to where tbe
eternal biiows and boundless icefields
enclose the Arctic sea. He goes to Al
aska to establish a market fur the Pen
dleton Woolen Mills. He will not go to
the places in Alaska usually visited by
toiirista There it is warm and agree
able ia summer and not a diagreeable
place during most of the winter. But Mr.
bodson will penetrate into the far in
terior, Hnd after going by ordinary con
veyances as far as ordinary conveyances
travel, he proposes to board an Alaska
sledge and travel with a team of dogs, a
la Eqntmault, eavs the E. O.
The journey will take part ol both
buinneaa and pleasure, for Mr. Dodson,
bt?hides nttondlng to the affairs entrust
ed to him by the woolen mills, will do
some sight seeing, and hunt for some
hunting and do a little fishing. He will
return before the end of the summer.
Mileage Suit Dismissed.
The case brought by Charles W. Brown
Held against Zoctli Huuser et a!., to re
strain the sheriff of this county from col
lecting mileage, was dismissed by reason
of the failure on the part of the plaintiff
to file en amended complaint. Pertain

ordered, adjudged and decreed that this
suit be, and the same is, hereby dis

loaded a train of sheep at Kalispel, Mont.,
to rest and feed. He placed them on the
school section northeast of town. They
begun dying from some cause, and
eomething over 200 died inside of two
days. It Is uncortain what caused their
death, but they are supposed to have
been poisoned, says the Inter Lake.
There is talk that some of the neighbor

the pasturage destroyed by the aheep,
strewed saltpetre on the fcrouni, but
that is merely a conjecture.

SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
Rumor That the Sheriff of Harney
County Has Skipped the Country.
The last issue of tbe Harney county
News contains the following:
"As the rumor is rife throughout tbe
connty that the sheriff is short $5000 to
$7000, and has skipped tbe country, and,
as auch tales gather strength as tuey go,
we eive tbe following as reliable as can
be learned to date : Tbat Mr. Gittings is
in Portland ; bis books show a shortage
of $2440.70 on 1894 taxes, and szuzi.eu on
1895 taxes, or total shortage of J4368.37 :
tbat he has more than enongh prorerty
to make good the loss and some of his
bondsmen are satisfied tbat he will return
and make the loss good. His books show
collections for 1894, $8,773.69; for 1895 to
present time, $39,294.44. V. a. Kmytu
and C. H. Dewitt are two of tbe nine
names on tbe bond. That the books
show a shortage is not an evidence of a
theft. A Wasco sheriffs books were
short a much larger sum, and expert
testimony made clear how the fault lay
in the book keeping."

CONVICT CONFESSES
The Chinese Murder on Sal
mon River Recalled.
TEN WERE MURDERED
And Left to Rot on the Bank
of the Lonely River.
Through a statement made by a con
vict in the Colorado penitentiary, the
state of Idaho may be soon in a position
to prosecute successfully some, if not all
of the bandits who murdered and robbed
10 Chinese placer miners on Salmon
river about 12 years ago. The name of
the convict imparting the information is
Calvin Luke, whose prison number in
the Canyon City pen is 3861. He makes
the statemeiit to Governor McDonnell in
a letter received during the governor's
absence, of which tbe following is a
copy:
Canyon City, Col (To the Governor
of Idaho.) Your Excellency : I beg to
acquaint your excellency that convict
No. 3862, Joseph Brooks, alias Jack
Shafer, convicted last autumn in Routt
county, Colorado, of horse stealing, is
according to his own confession, a fugitive
from justice, having participated in tbe
robbery and murder of 10 Chinese placer
miners at a point on the Salmon river
some years ago Brooks bears a scar on
his right band, received during the r
siBtence made by the Chinese. Tbe
excuse for the murder, as alleged by
Brooks, is that one of the number of
Chinese offered resistance to the robbery
and was killed, whereupon the bandits
exterminated the entire number in order
to avoid identification in the event of
their apprehension
Eraatus Ohrisiensen, alias Ras Lewis,
alias Matt Warren, who is now in prison
in Vernal, Utah, awaiting trial on two
charges of murder; Tom McCarty, Kid
McCarty and Billy McCarty were, to
gether with Brooks, the perpetators of
the crime.
According to Brooks' report the ban
dits had a running fight with the Idaho
authorities in the Coeur d'Alenes, short
ly after the affair on Salmon river.
Brooks' term expires some time in
March, 1898, though he is making an
effort to secure a pardon. He ia known
here as Jack Shafer.
There are two other witnesses, both
reputable women, who are cognizant of
the facts as I have outlined them, and
to whom Brooks, Christensen and the
MoCartys confessed the commission of
the crime in minuto detail. Sai l wemen
have since become estranged from the
parties in question and will no doubt
render their testimony voluntarily.
From my Intimate knowledge of the
character of Brooks I believe tbat a little
iugenuity would extract a full confession
to proper parties if the evidence adduced
should be considered insufficient to
convict.
My motives for divulging the socret o
Brooks' complicity in tbe acts mentioned
are merely retaliatory, aa Brooks is re
sponsible for my present misfortune and
Is seeking extenuation at my expense, 1
am, therefore, willing to render such in
formation as I may possess at any time
and place and to whomsoever your ex
cellency may designate. Trusting that I
may bo of some service to the state, I beg
to subscribe,
Most sincerely yours,
Calvin Lukb, No. 3861.
The murder of the Chinese on Salmon
river was among the most brutal crimes
in the history of the state. The bandits
left tbe bodies of the Celestials to rot on
tho bank of the river, and took all their
gold dust, amounting to several thousand
dollars. Tho Chinese consul in San
Francisco took the matter up and the
government c ffldals worked for a long
time on the case, but without securing a
clue. There was no one within miles of
the Bcene of the awful crime, and the
whole affair has been wrapped in mystery.
The letter from the Colorado convict is
the first evidenco of any importance
ever secured. The state officials will
take the matter up at once to the end
that the guilty parties may be brought to
justice.

A Bicycle constructed oi material that is solid, tough and wiry;
that is simple in construction, easily taken apart and put together again
has few parts, is of such wiry material that its parts will hold together
even in an accident, no hollow material to be crushed in by every con
tact; a frame that cannot possibly be brokenj a frame so simple that its
adjusting parts serve as its connecting parts; a one-piece crank in place
of a dozen parts; always ready to give reliable and rapid transportation.
SPECIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS.
FRAME. Improved Double Diamond. What is a Double
Diamond Frame? Simply a true truss in every direction for strains
that occur in Cycles the outline of two diamonds in its makeup. The
frames are constructed of f -inch cold rolled steel rods, the toughest and
strongest metal for its weight known, and the parts are joined together
with steel and aluminum bronze fittings in such a manner that it is
impossible to brake or any part to work loose. A marvel of novelty,
simplicity and durability, the greatest combination of ingenuity in bi-'
cycle mechanism, to build a frame without brazen joints and tubing,
as you know that frames continually break and fracture at brazen joints
and tubes when they are buckled in cannot be repaired. We guaran
tee' our Double Diamond Frame for three years. You cannot
break it. Standard size steering head and wheel base, ball bearings
at both ends of head.
WHEELS. 28-inch front and rear, warranted one-piece wood
rims, best quality piano wire spokes and brass nipples, large barrel hubs
fitted, with "Arlington" hose pipe, Morgan & Wright "quick repair," or
some other first-class pneumatio tire. .
AXLE AND BEARINGS. Indestructible ball bearingg through
out, with 148 hardened steel balls. Crank shaft bearings are fitted with
our patent ball cases, which are interlocked and support each other and
cannot possibly come apart while in use. .Are neat and cover the bear
ings completely. It has been an acknowledged fact ; that crank axle
bearings are susceptible of improvement, as threaded cones or crank ax
les are continually crowding or working loose. We save this entire nuis
ance by having no threaded parts whatever, but a clever device in frame
for adjustment, Our invention is most perfect in simplicity and must
be seen to be appreciated. The sprocket and chain are on the inside of
the frame and ball bearings'.. Great value is gained by this arrange-,
ment; ease of running, double wear saved, positive never loose bearings,
freedom from contact with chain and
lar Dan Deanngs, less inction and lost motion, hence greater 6peea.
Then with the jointless "one-piece crank," feet, ankles and trousers are
free from injury!
ONE-PIECE CRANK. Our great achievement; by its appli
cation we put two cranks, two pedal axles, two keys, six screws, six nut
and four washers all in one piece. From 50 to 100 per cen.tvof-aHTne
trouble to bicycles is from cranks working loose and pedal axles that
break from jplamping connections. They get loose no matter how much
pains is taken to key and tighten them. This is caused by too many
parts, and it is entirely saved by'our device, which is but one piece,
and made from tough rolled steel rods, impossible to break. It has been .
proven that when other cranks break from accident, our one-piece crank
will hardly bend. ,
CHAIN. Humber .block pattern, best quality, hardened.
SPROCKET WHEELS. Best drop forged steel. '
REACH. Shortest, 28 inches; longest, 37 inches, ,
GEAR. 64 or 72, as specified.
FRONT FORKS. Indestructible. Our fork crowns are simply
a section of gun barrel steel turned up to size, then bored and bent,
forming a perfect fork crown that cannot be surpassed for strength and
beauty, also giving a support to our solid cold rolled fork rods that just
limit the necessary amount of springiness required in a front fork and
which can only be obtained by use of our forks and crown. ".
"HANDLE BARS. Reversible and adjustable, a marvel of sim
plicity, readily adjusted to any position desired, with best cork or com
position handles. In buying a bicycle it is always a vexed question as
to whether you want dropped or elevated handle bars. If you wanted
one kind you could not have the other. Our handle bar enables you to
have either at will. Will furnish Ram's Horn handle bars if preferred.
SADDLES. Gilliam, P. & F., Reading, or other first-class make.
PEDALS. Rat trap or rubber; full ball bearing.
FINISH. All parts, are enameled with our own special enamel,
rubbed down and baked, giving'it a handsome black, glossy appearance.
All bright parts are heavily nickle-plated; these, with the jet black gloss
parts, give a handsome appearance which cannot be excelled.
ACCESSORIES. Each "May wood" Bicycle is furnished with a
leather tool bacr. containing numn. wrench and rjatent oiler.
WEIGHT. According to tires, pedals, saddles, from 27 to 30 lbs.
A PRICE THAT WILL REACH YOU.
Do not imagine because it is not high priced it is not high grade.
We do not use expensive hollow tubing, besides, we belong to no Com
bination or Trust. We own every patent, pay no royalties, manufacture
the entire wheel ourselves and are satisfied with a reasonable profit, em
ploy no expensive racers, but depend upon the good common sense of
the American people to appreciate a good thing when they see it. We
afford to make the price we do, for we expect to sell ten "Maywoods"
to on3 of any individual make sold. We simply say that the "May
wood" is a perfect Bicycle, containing more originality and genuine
noints of excellent than r.an hft fonnd in all ntrinr mnr-hinpa tnrrothar
L - wuMVW VWWVUV.
The "May wood" has puccessfully passed through the experimen
tal stage. During the past thfeeyears we have put out over 5,000,
"Maywoods," placed in the hands of riders of all classes and widely
distributed through the country. Expert riders and clumBy riders,
heavy men and light men, on smooth roads and on rough roads, have
given this wheel every conceivable test, proving it to be the best wheel
on earth for every day use, a' wheel that can be constantly used over the
roughest roads without showing weakness and the constant necessity of
repairs. Its construction is so simple, its vital parts so strong, that the
possibility of breakage is reduced to a minimum.
PRICES AND TERMS. .
$40.00 is our Special Wholesale Price. Never before sold
for less. To quickly introduce the "Maywood" Bicycle, we have de
