Seattle, Oct. 14.—Captain Nevins, superintendent of the Pinkertons at Portland, and Sheriff Storey, of Port land, passed through the city tonight with Charles Hoehn, a youth 17 years of age, who’was arrested at the Equal ity colony, [in'¿Skagit county, on’"a charge of being one of the men impli cated in the attempted hold-up of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation over land train, 21 miles east of Portland, on the night of Septebmer 23. Hoehn admits that he is the man who flagged the train, and says there were four in the job, including Gay Harshman, the robber wounded by Messenegr Körner at the time of the attempt. James James, another member of the gang, is believed to lie in this vi cinity, and the Pinkertons are on hie track. Allen Miner, also a member of the gang, who accompanied Hoehn to Skagit county after the attempted rob bery, and whose home is at Whatcom, this state,where his parents are respect ed, is also said t o "be in western Wash ington. Morgan, the aged membrr of the gang, has not been located. Hersh- nian has made a confession to Captain Nevins, giving all the names of the gang, which is corroborated by Hoehn, excepting that he eliminates Morgan, who is his uncle. Hoehn has lived at Equality colony for 10 years. His parents are dead, and hie only criminal record heretofore known is that he was charged with petty larceny. He was working in a shingle mill when arrested by Captain Nevins. For a week a Pinkerton man worked with him.

Klamath Tribe Council Appoints Commit Corvallis & Eastern Making Extensive Preparations to Build. tee of Three. Rev. Jesse Kirke, who is a leader among the Klamath Indians, was in Ashland recently and brought the first news that has been given out in regard to the recent council of the Klamath Indiana to take acticn in regard to the pushing ot the claims of these Indians for reimbursement by congress in the sum ol a little over $500,000 fcr lands lost to the Indiana by reason of errors in reservation boundaries. The council was attended by 100 heads of Indian families and Kirke, Henry Jackson and William Crawford, all well-to-do members of the tribe, were elected to represent the Indians at the National capitol and were empow ered to employ counsel to further the claim from the government during the coming session of congress and one, or possibly all three of them, will go on to Washington in December. Resolutions were also passed against the state's claim to swamp lands with in the reservation, which, it is said, if granted, would throw 400 Indians out of allotments. MAILS ARB TOO SLOW. Governor Chamberlain Contemplates a Trip to Washington. If hie official business will permit, Governor Chamberlain will leave Ore gon in a lew days for Washington, D. C. The purpose of his propcsed trip is to talk with the president, the secre tary of the interior and officials of the general land office concerning land mat ters In Oregon. He desires to secure what information he can at Washing ton regarding past and present land transactions so far as Oregon is inter ested. He finds that correspondence is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of getting information, and by a brief trip to Washington he expects to get a pret ty thorough general understanding of the principal features of public land matters. It is not certain that he will make the trip, but that is his intention if he can get away. W. A. Brandebury, the Albany lum ber dealer, who has come across the mountains to look after interests in the region of Bend, says there is every evi dence along the line of the Corvallis <fc Eastern of preparations for extending the road to Bend. Four sawmills are engaged in turning out railroad ties, which are purchased by the Corvallis A Eastern and piled along the track for miles. The mills report that they have sawed more of these ties in the past six months than in six years be fore end but few hsve been shipped out to market. The roadbed cf the Corvallis A East ern has long been graded for a distance of 14 miles east of the crest of the Cas cades and the short tunnel necessary has been bored half way through the backbone. The Corvallis A Eastern wsb mortgaged five years ago for some thing like $2,000,000, but the bonds were never issued. It is said that ev erything is ready (or an advance on short notice. Some of the officials of the company have been making investments in the vicinity of the survey on this side ol the mountains, which is regarded as significant. SALE OF LINN COUNTY FARM.
