W niter Wells and Turner GrRves
had some difficulty yesterday, (7th
inst.) which ended by the latter
drawing a knife on Wells, who
afterward swore out a warrant for
his arrest. In the meantime, how-
ever, Graves had "skipped." JS. O.
Blondin, the famous rope-walker,
is willing to repeat his old-time
feat of walking across the gorge
below Niagara Falls on a rope for
the sum of 810,000. It is said
that Imre Kiralfy, the theatrical
manager, will pay the price and
arrange for the exhibition in three
weeks.
There is a rumor nt Seattle to
the effejt that the treasurer of a
prominent secret order is short in
his accounts about $100, and he is
liable to be arrested soon. Mem
bers of the lodge acknowledge that
there is a shortage, but there is
evidently an effort making to cover
the matter up.
Hugh Medlock, convicted of
horse stealing and sentenced to
two years imprisonment from
Walla Walla, at the December
term, 188G, was released from the
penitentiary on Monday, sentence
having expired by commutation
for good behavior. W. W. Union.
A W. T. editor wrote to a Da
kota postmaster inquiring about a
delinquent subscriber. The letter
came back endorsed, "The man is
dead." Some time afterward, in
overhauling a list of delinquents,
an inquiry was inadvertently sent
to the same postmaster about the
same man. The reply came back,
"Still dead."
W. W. Eoss, an old resident of
Sparta, and well-known in Eastern
Oregon, met his death Aug. 2,
near Island City, by being
thrown from his buggy while on a
canvassing tour. Mr. Eoss was
aged about 65 years and quite de
crepid. Helmet with an accident
some three years since by a run
away team at his home on 'Lower
Powder, since which time he had
never fully recovered.
H. C. Gay, formerly a represen
tative from Morrow county, and a
good one, too, was a passenger on
Saturday afternoon's east-bound
freight, en route with a car-load of
horses, shipped from Arlington.
Mr. Gay is quite enthusiastic over
the prospects of Heppner, and be
lieves that it will knock out Pen
dleton on the Long Creek trade
question. He says that at last re
ports two miles of track had been
laid on the branch railroad to
Heppner. He thinks that the now
road will be a big thing for the
town. E. O.
Bob Burdette says: "My daugh
ter, when you note that the man
who wants to marry is too awfully
anxious to learn whether you can
bake a loaf of bread, or wash a
shirt with Chinese dexterity, be
fore you close negotiations do you
just fly around and ascertain it he
is either willing or able to earn
enough to make a biscuit, and if
lie has paid for the shirt he wants
you to wash. Nine times out of
ten, daughter, the man who only
wants to marry a housekeeper can
be kept more economically in the
work house than he can in your
father's house."
A few days ago James A. Cooke
caused the arrest of Detective
Mears, at Seattle, because the
latter was injuring him by shadow
ing his every move. It now trans
pires that there was a reason for
the shadowing. Cook has left
town for some unknown point in
California, and it is said that wine,
women and diamonds were the
cause of his sudden departure.
Young Cooke arrived here two
years ago and worked at the news
paper business for -a time, when
he associated himself with W. H.
Moore in the real estate business.
Cook & Moore became very suc
cessful operators and did a large
business. Mr. Moore refuses to say
anything about the amount Cooke
took with him, saying he would
try and prevent the matter from
being made public.
The colored troops at Fort
Shaw, near Helena, Mont., it is
reported, are engaged with govern
ment mules and mowing machines
in cutting hay on the government
resorve to fill a contract entered
into between a civilian and the
government It is said that any
one who wants a load can drive
his wagon to the hay field in the
reserve, and the colored troops fill
it witli hay, charging therefor a
price lower than the farmers or
other persons in the business can
possibly afford to sell it for. It is
also alleged that an officer of the
post has charge of the colored
troops while they are engaged in
this business. .
The lines written on a postal
oard by Robert J. Burdett to J.
W. Eedington, and published in
yesterday's Statesman, were the
means of causing a good many
people to cudgel their brains in an
attempt to translate them, H. E.
Holmes and B. C. Hopkins are tha
only ones who did this success
fully, as far as heard from. It
turnSjOut'that the lines were not
written in a foreign language at
all, but in distorted English, from
a well-known song, just as might
be expected of Burdette. The lines:
Ho Muggin, Ho Muggin!
Fromma for renxhor;
Rando! ItfiUsmyhartwitchoy,eto.
Beingtranslated, reads:
Home again, Home again)
From a foreign shore;
And oh! It fills my heart with joy.

TlinmnH Pfiterson. a Dane, was
arrested at Posadena, near Los
Angeles, Aug. 0, on a charge of
committing an outrage on two little
girls named Ho Hon, ;n that city.
The victims artMsistirs and aged
respectfully fiv'"Jf tltrse ysars.
This afternoonyfitjsVy'nldren were
enticed by Peterson to the top
floor of a restaurant buildinar.
where, it is alleged, he outraged
both in a frightful manner. The
children have been examined by
physicians, who claim that the
nlivninn.1 nnnrlitinn of the cirls
shows repeated acts of violence
and the poor cnildren are in a
pitible state. Peterson has virtu

An old gentleman came into
an Augusta marble-shop last aut
umn with the marks of affliction
on his countenance, and after ex
plaining that one of his sons had
died, sorrowfully inquired the
price of a tombstone. After look
ing over the various Btyles and
endeavoring to beat down the
dealer, he remarked confidentially,
with a glance at his consumptive
looking wife who sat on the buck
board outside, that he "didn't think
Marthy would winter, and he
guessed he'd wait and buy two
stones at once," to get a reduction.
Marthy "wintered," but she didn't
"spring," and a few days ago the
old man appeared again, snipped
a couple of tombstones home, and
went on his way. Augusta (Me.)
Journal.
At Los Angeles, on Aug. 7, the
constable of Los Metos brought to
the county jail Dick Perry, who
was committed by Justice Yan
slyck, of Downey, for trial on a
charge of assault to murder Jas.
Pbolun. The affair grew out of a
dispute betweevrTren " who were
cultivating some land together.
The history of the prisoner is a
remarkable one. He is 73 years
old, has resided in this section
many years, and is said to have
acknowledged the killing of nine
persons, eight men and one woman.
The story is probably an exager
ation, but he has figured in a num
ber of bloody affairs. One that
created the greatest sensation was
the killing of John See n dozen
years ago at Dswney. Shortly
after this the sister of See at
tempted to kill the old man, but
failed. The man who was killed
was the father of Dick See, who
murdered William Duncan at old
Gallaton several years previously,
and is now at Ellens burg, W. T.,
awaiting extradition.
S. S. McDonnell, of Idaho, re
cently went to Medical Lake, W.
T., and rented a cottage for him
self and wife. He was largely in
terested in sheep raising in the
Big Bend country, and business
frequently called him away from
home. This was the case last
week. He returned home Aug. 3,
and found his house locked, and
that no one Would open the door
in response to knocks. He olimbed
through a window, and met his
wife at the door of her room. She
endeavored to dissuade him from
entering the room, but he persist
ed and found Thomas Karker, who
is said to be well-known in Spo
kane and Wardner, in bed, appar
ently asleep. Not wishing to kill
the man in cold blood, he went to
the door andrnded an expla
nation of his wire. They got into
an altercation and he struck her
with his pistol, Wounding her. She
fell on the floor in a faint, and the
revolver was accidentally discharg
ed, the ball entering the wall. In
the meantime Karker made his
escape by a window and came to
Spokane on horseback. McDon
nell immediately collected his ef
fects and will return to his sheep
ranch. He does not propose to
prosecute the woman, but will
simply leave her.
A dispatch from Pittsburg, dated
Aucr. 2. says: Miss May Patton,
of Johnstown, Pa., shot and killed
Charles DeKnight, a well-known
vouna man of Lawrenceville, this
" . I,, ,, i i
morning apa wen oiew ner Drains
ont The tragedy took place at
the Metropolitan hotel, this city.
The couple called at the hotel at
o o clock this morning and regis
tered as C. Lewis and wife. They
were givn a room and nothing
more was neard from them until
9 o'clock, when the guests were
startled by the report of two pistol
shots in nuick succession. The
hotel clerk ran o tho room, but
the door was locked and it was
necessary to break it down to ef
feet an entrancs. A terrible sight
met the clerk and guests who came
t a 4i, n 41. !

floor was DeKnight, dead, with a
bullet hole in his temple, and ly
ing on the side of the bed was the
woman, also dead, with blood trick
ling down from a wound in her
head, and the revolver still tightly
clasped in her hand. DeKnight
was in street attire, but the girl
was in dishabille. It is supposed
that they quarreled and that De
Knight was about to leave the
room when he was shot. Both
moved in good society. The girl
was the daughter of a furniture
dealer at Johnstown, and has al
ways borne a good reputation. She
was quite handsome, and about
20 years old. DeKnight was a
Pullman car conductor and lived
with his parents in Lawrenceville.
He was about 24 years old. In
searching the room, a letter was
found from tha girl, addressed to
Jess E. Thurlow, Huntingdon, Pa.,
and stating that she was going to
commit suicide.
POLICEMEN AS STREET LIGHTS.
General Stevenson, a Southern
inventor of note, has at last, after
many trials, perfected a machine
which bids fair to entirely revo
lutionize the police and street
lighting departments in those
cities which are progressive enough
to give the invention a fair trial.
Each policeman is to be provided
with a patent helmet with a beacon
electric light attachment. An ap
paratus, similar in construction to
a pedometer, is attached to a cer
tain part of tha policeman's body
and by an ingenious system of
wires and olectricity generated by
the movements of the legs is trans
mitted to the top of the helmet,
thus giving a brilliant and continu
ous light. The well-known rapidity
with which every policeman tra
verses his beat will insure a per
fect blaze of light on the streets of
the city from sunset until dawn.
If the policeman stops he must at
least keep his legs in motion or the
light will fall and signify that he
is loafing. Besides this the Gen
eral has a contrivance which will
act as a spur whenever the police
man stops to interview a servant
girl or take a drink. The battery
when not supplying a light must
act upon a certain portion of his
anatomy ana tnus Keop nim on the
go. The Memphis Avalanche has
come out strongly in favor of the
invention and is urging its use in
every Southern city. As a peace-
preserver it would be of great
value, and the affection which tipsy
citizens entertain for lamp-posts,
for instance, would carry them di
rectly into the arms of the police
and thus save these officers much
unnecessary trouble.
HIDDEN DANGER.
A fourth and happily a suc
cessful search by her Majesty's
ship has just been made for a re
ported rock toward the southern
end of the lied bea, on which two
steamships the Avocet and Ted-
dineton are supposed to have
struck during the year 1887, both
ships afterward foundering. The
fourth ship, her Majesty's survey
ing ship Stork, guided by some
slight indication afforded by an
insignificant rise in the sea bottom,
has found the rock. It is a small
coral patch only 15 feet under the
surface of the sea, and stands in
twenty-eight fathoms of Water in
latitude 14 degrees, 22 minutes and
8 seconds north, longitude 42 de
grees, 41 minutes and 32 seconds
east. It lies midway between the
bset two positions that critical
cross-examination had finally
settled as most probable for the
respective vessels that were lost
Though it is between five and six
miles from the direct straight line
of the track, the existence at times
of strong currents transverse to the
axis of the lied Sea causes the
danger presented by it to be by no
means insignificant, and it is a
matter for marvel that it has never
been before struck. The difficulty
of finding such a small rock may
be appreciated from the fact that
one of the searching ships was at
anchor within 400 yards or it, with
her boats sounding round her,
without its being perceived, and
she was driven from her anchor
age by a gale before tbe spot was
passed over by the boats, -uonaon
