Charles Hoehn Admits Flagging O. R. &
N. Train Near Portland.
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.

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.

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

the road to Bend. Four sawmills are
engaged in turning out railroad ties,
which are purchased by the Corvallis

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

The roadbed cf the Corvallis A East

of 14 miles east of the crest of the Cas
cades and the short tunnel necessary

backbone. The Corvallis A Eastern
