On Monday of last week John Hicks came
near having hit eyes blown out, by the prema
turc discharge of a gun cartridge, at the house
of Win. Gamble, on Kentuck slough. He had
been cleaning a Durgcss rille; had placed two
cartridges in tha magaiinn, and was In the act of
Ihiow lug one Into the gun, when the cartridge
prematuivly exploded. 1 he bullet went out at the
tnuiite of the gun, but thejvowder and portions
of the cartridge recoiled nnd struck Hick on the
hands and in the face. His hands wera lacerated
ami his face powder burned, andiomeof the
powd.-rwent Into his eyes. Immediately after
tha accident, Hicks wiped his face and eyes with
hit bleeding hands, which gave him a frightful
appearance, nnd at first tha witnesses of the
scene thought ha had been shot through the
head. His eyes were so injured that he was de
prived of his sight for several days, but fortu
nately the injury It not permanent. The gun is
not a total wreck, but It Is Aearly so, the barrel
being about all of it that wat not shattered to
pieces. The report uf tha explosion resounded
frightfully in lite room where it occurred and
also throughout the house. Mrs. Gamble rushed
into an adjoining room nnd fainted, but young
Gamble, who bail experienced worse thing,
stood the shock without a tremor und prepared
himself (o lay out the corpse that Hicks was
expected to noon nuke, The gun was being
put In order to kill a beef. Tha steer still lives,
Andy Gaines, a lad 18 year of age, has been
Indicted by the United Slates grand jury at
Portland for complicity In the late mail robbery
between Angora and Camas valley, A few days
ago Gaines wtis arretted on thtOlalla ami taken
to l'oilUnd, where he pleaded not guilty. His
trial li set for March 11, Young Slillwell says
Gaines took the Impression of the mad lock at
Camas valley and carried It to Hill, at Coqulllc
I iiy, who made the Ley with which the pouch
was unloJseU at the time It waitobtcU.
Arreit of sin Alleged Murderer,
A man who has been In this place and vicinity,
since last April, and known nl Charles A. Stan
ley, war arretted on Front ilreet by Marshal
Khodes on the 13th Inst, on a charge of having
murdered one Anderson I'atton at Freeportlit
Cowllii county, W, T., two year ago latt Nov
ember, since which time ho has txvn n fugitive
from justice.
Stanley's true name Is laid to le A. J. Iy;on-
nrd, and thl I the name under which he was
arretted, laiit Thursday he was taken before
Jutllce Hyde and commuted to the county jail
for so days, to give tho necestiry time for the
arrival of an officer from Washington territory hi
convey him to tho place where he is wanted,
Friday lonard was taken fo the Jill at Kmplre,
where he Is now confined. The sheriff of Cow
lilt county It expected here this week.
I'atton, the murdered man, wat leonard'i
brotlier-ln law. At the story runt, I'atton was
a worthiest character, who was In the habit of
maltreating his wife. Finally he extended his
cruelly to his father-in-law, a man about 70 years
old, whom he one night dragged from a tick
bed nnd beat In an unmerciful manner. Soon
after this, Leonard went for I'atton with a shot
gun and he wat found dead. No one witnessed
the murder, but siliplcion oin(eil so strongly at
I-conard that he soon lied the country. First he
went to Portland, and afterwards into Jackson
county, where he was known at A, J. Jackson
and nl one time followed the occupation of hurt
ler for one of the gangs of Chinamen employed
on the railroad work.
' It it presumed that I-eonard left Jackson coun
ty to elude detecllret who hid traced him to that
loathly. Ha tjme to tha Uiy the latter part of
March or the itt of April, under tho assumed
name of Chirles A. Stanley. The first work life

ging camp. Next he worked for John levari
next for Jnp Yoalcam; then for John Yoakam,
and finally. at the stave mill In this place, where
he had employment at the time he was arrested.
liconard's eyes appear to be weak And diseased.
and several weeks ago he went from this place to
Sin Francisco for the ostensible purxteof hiv
Ing idem treated by an oculist. He returned
from there by the steamer that arrived here on
Iheaittult. Marshal -Rhodes came up on the
same steamer and paid I-onard's fare. At that
lime I .coriar d's intention was to acquire n timber
claim in thli vicinity, but juil la what manner
we are not advised.
White he was in Sail Francisco Leonard as
sumed the name of Charles A. I.iwrence, Soon
after he left there detectives discovered that he
had been there and that he vv.-u one of many
men they wnut. 'Fhe Pacific coast detective as
sociation at once notified Its agent in this place
that I-ron.ml had relumed lo the bay, and ft
was through Information thus obtained that the
arrest was effected.
We visited Ionird while he wo confined In
the town jail here. At first he seemed disposed
10 comene freely, but toon concluded that too
much talk had got him where was and that he
had Iwtler keep his mouth closed, which he pro-
jmed to da.
Ixxmird Is a dark-compleiioned man of aver
age site; is 35 years of age; has black hair, free
ly sprinkled wllh gray, and wears .1 mustache
and side whiskers. His appearance Is not that
of a bright or bad man, but if the tales told of
hhn be true, he is a lud man. but not smaiL A
detcetlve gained Leonard's confidence and ob-
talaeit information that prompted hit arrest by
proposing dishonombte schemes tliat he readily
consented to engage In.
There It no doubt of Leonard being the man
wanted, but he expresses no fear of an acquital
at hit trin). It Is Mid ihit after hit arrest t(e
acknowledged his identify ai)d that he lud com
mitted the crime with which he Is dialled,
pleading extenuating circuimtances in hltbelialf.
The prisoner told us that he hat a brother in
Portliud named J, Milton Stanley, who was In
the hotel buslnctt a few years ago; and Later a
slorckct-ner, and tint he hat & sitter at Olympia,
named Alice Kachiel Tiiley, whose husband,
Rice Tillcy, died thrro or four years ago. He
says his father died about a year ago; and It-was
while we were questiorvin; hhn as to the name
of has father, eje, that lie concluded to abruptly
dote the interview.
A rcw-ard Of $300 was offered for the arrest
and detention of 1-eonard until the sheriff of
Cow tits county could come for him.
Thcllllgatlon that has followed the disappear
ance and reappearance of that Chinese girl Tye
Tye has assumed proorllons that will ba likely
10 attract the attention of taxpayer when they
are called ujion at the next term of county
court 10 foot some of the bills, 'the matter, In
onu form or another, has licea four times before
justices of tha peace and (wive before the county
Judge, and now we are told tliat a move is on
foot to carry It into the circuit court. If the
girl was in dinger and needed protection, she
should have received it from the county court
and there the trouble should have ended, h
looks wry much Si if the matter Is agitated by
soma Attorneys (or the purpose of fleecing the
Chinnmcn, This of itself is outrageous, but
when tho courts are prostituted to such purposes
and the taxpayers called upon to fool the bills,
it Is damnable, and something they should sit
down upon. The way to do this is to locale
the evil and quash the men who foster It. While
people from all parts of the county arc petition
ing for aid In opening thoroughfares, and be
ing refuted cen trifling appropriations, the
comity has no money to squauder in any such
nonsense as has lieen going on for weeks in re
gard to this Chinese Imbroglio oer Tye Tye.
The next chapter, if there ba one, should come
from the next grand jury, There Is something
wrong somewhere, and it might be well for the
grand Jtiry to investigate the conduct of some
white men who have mixed with the Chinese In
this litigation. The latest phase of the farce was
an application to the county judge for an order
restraining Chin Sue Quoag from marrying the
girl after he had been granted ,1 license to do so,

back to 40 years ago, when he was young and
In England. Of'warse his father had a Urge
farm and a greaKnUmbcr of calics. Then, like
now, some would ail, lung their heads and re

succeeded incartturing the leniun that wiere the
cause of all tbe'troublc. He found the animals
pastured on low? ipnngy Und. where there was
much nearly stagnant water In the early fall.
The water contained the seeds of the di-ease in
the eggs of lhc,rasllej, which, taken into the
system, found the place of living lu the pipes of
the lungs. In ti'few weeks the symptoms of the
dlsea.se showed plainly In a gaunt body and a
universal shoit cough which sounded like the

often standing In it and drinking, In nn attempt
to ease the itchtns lu tho throat. If they be not
relieved and die, the pies will be full, up to the
larynx, of the thrcul-like wonns about two inches
long. The remedy is very simple, and easily
applied, being nothing, else than mixing a table
spoonful bf turpeutine in water or oilier liquid,
given for three mornings, fasting. There are.
