BAKER COUNTY.
From the Bedrock Democrat.
J. S. Morgan has some rhubarb plant,
one stalk of which meamirea 37 inches
in length and the leaf is 27 inches
wide. Can any one heat this for a first
growth ?
Mose Taylor's 40 acres of wheat east
of town which has just been harvested
averaged a little over 17 bushels to the
acre. The grain is aliont an average
with most of the grain this year.
The ten ten-thousand dollar water
bonds issued by the city were lithograph
ed at Kansas City. They were sold to
the Jurvis-Conkling Trust Co., yester
day. The bonds were taken at par, and
will bear eight per cent interest,
running ten years, with the privilege of
fifteen years.
Reports reach ua of water begiuing to
become scarce throughout this section.
Wells in the city are lower than usual at
this time of year; but this may be in
part attributed to the drain on their
supply from the unusual number of wa
ter tankB that are daily filled at the sev
eral wells.
GRANT COUNTY.
From the Urant County News.
Hay crops in John Day valley are
generally very good in some-parts even
better than last year. This cannot be
said of any other section of Eastern Or
egon. From a semi-weeklv mail to Mon
ument carried on horsebnik tbreT: years
ago, the line has grown to a daily and
extended through to Heppuer, carrying
big loads of mail and accommodating
the settlers throughout a large scope of
country. Then the department ques
tioned the advisability of even a
semi-weekly mail for this benighted
heathen land.
It has been rumored that a chunk of
ore was picked out of the mountain back
of Canyon City recently, which netted at
the mint something like $400 in gold,
being almost the pure metal. This
mountain is the place for prospectors to
seek their fortuues, for hidden wealth is
here in large quantities. There can be
no mistake about the finding of this
pieoe of "float," as a number of persons
here saw it.
One of the most conveniently fitted up
and most nicely furnished pluses in our
neighboring town Heppner, is the First
National Bank. The furniture is all
hard maple, shipped from St. Louis.
Inside and out the handsome brick build
ing would be an ornament (;o a city sev
eral times as lurge as Heppuer. Aside
from this and the moBt important of all,
is the fact of the good financial status of
the institution.
The Pendleton-Canyon City road mon
ey for which was voted by the last legis
lature, follows the established road prot"
ty closely from Long Creek seldom de
viating from it. By making a few new
grades, the present route would be ma
terially improved upon, but we under
stand most of the $12,000 appropriated
will be exhausted on that portion of the
road in Umatilla county, so that the
route on this end can not be changed,
consequently the present road must suf
fice for all purposes uuless there should
be a surplus of money after constructing
a good road the balanee of the way.
However, it is thought, we may lie able
to got WW out of the $12,000 for our
end of the road.
BAKER COUNTY.
From tho Hlndo.
The Baisley mine, of Elkhorn, was
sold on Monday last, as indicated in
tho last issue of the Blade. Tho fortu
nate purchasers of this valuable proper
ty are Col. R. F. Loouey, of Memphis,
Ten ii., Judge R. E. Rees, of St. Louis,
O. Szuntagu, of Sau Francisco, and oth
er capitalists of St. Louis and Memphis.
Baker City can rejoice at the sale of
this property to a syndicate of capital
ists who are so amply able to develop
and put upon the paying basis one of
the finest mines in the Northwest.
In conversation with Col. Looney, it is
learned that the company will at once
begin the erection of machinery suit
able fur the red notion of the ore, and
within the next ninety days the Elkhorn
will be the largest gold producer in Ore
gon. What will this do fur Baker City? It
will give employment to 200 men ; it
will plaoe a daily stage from here
to Pine creek; it will place $200,000 iu
cash in circulation, the purchase price
of the mine; it will make a pay roll of
$15,000 per mouth which will How into
our marts of trade; it will encourage
legitimate mining; it will materially
aid in doubling our populatiou within
the year. In faot it is tho most import
ant mining transaction Baker City has
ever known, and the effects upon busi.
ness can not be over estimated.
Col. Loouey, Judge Rees and Mr.
Szontagh went East on Tuesday's train
for the purpose of ordering machinery
and attending to the details of this lm-
portant transaction. They will return in j
about ten days when active operations j

It is reported that one of Gilliam's

The Oregonian is authority for the
statement that ex-tlovernor Moody, who
has mingled with the people east of the
Cascades all the season ami is well in
formed as to mutters there, thinks
there will be actual distress iu counties
south ofthe Columbia, including Wasco,
Gilliam, Morrow and part of Umatilla,
because of tho failure of the nheat orop.
Speaking for Eastern Umntillu oouuty
the Eagle begs leave to say that Mr.
Moody w as never more mistaken in his
life, however, much aa he has "mingled
with the people." Harvest is here and
we have the proof of the pudding in the
tasting for it. The wheat output for
Umatilla oouuty will be greater than for
several years past, as fields that were,
thought to bea partial failure are averag
ing thirty bushels per acre, where iu
former yean they have ouly yielded
twenty aud twenty-five bushels. There
will be no distress on aceouut uf crop

People who believe that Umatilla coun
ty's "dry bill ranches" are fit for nothing
but wheat, should drop in at B. S. Waffle's
and take a look at a limb of plum tree
nrongut from J. F. Temple's ranch.
The branch is hardly more than a foot in
length, but fifty green plums hang on it
in clusters. Every limb on the tree from
whioh it was taken is proppea up on
oiippuns, so great is the weight of the
fruit.
The immigrants who arrived in town
a day or so ago, and who were encamped
just below Kopittke & Co.'s feed yard
were robbed last night of about $500.
Last evening about dusk, the three
came up town, leaving their wagon and
contents unguarded. They remained a
short time only, but it was long enough
for the thieves to get in their work.
When the immigrants returned they
found a satchel, which they had careless
ly left in the wagon, cut Open and the $500
in checks and greenbacks taken there
from. Officers were notified and are
now engaged in hunting for the thieves,
but no clues have been obtained as yet.

Arlington, Or., July 17. A cutting
afl'ray took place at Condon last Mon
day forenoon over a dispute about the
prioe of a horse. Dan Rinehart, son
of G. W. Rinehart, was seriously,
though probably not fatally hurt by
Brick Baldwin, son of J. C. Baldwin, the
horse dealer. It seems Rinehart had
bought a horse of Baldwin, and agreed
to pay a certain sum for him. A settle
ment was had and they disagreed with
the above result. Baldwin has been

A STRANGE ANTIPATHY TO WOHK.
A hazy Convict in the Oregon Penitentiary
Cuts Olf His Left Hand.
Salem, July 19. About 4 o'clock this
afternoon the authorities at the state
prison were shocked and horrified by find
ing that another convict bad followed the
example set by the man Howajd last fall,
and chopped off his left hand with a
hatchet. The Inzy brute ou this occa
sion is registered John Curtis alias John
Thompson, 29 years old; reoeived at
tho prison from Multnomah county, Jan
uary 2(1, 1889 ; sentenced two years for
larceny iu a warehouse. He served a
term before about the time the foundry
started, and was then kuown as John
Thompson. His term expired about
tnree years ago after which he went to
California and managed to get into the
penitentiary there. Ho since returned
to the institution here, and has worked
but little, having managed to burn his
feet on many ooMsious while working
around the foundry, whereby he has
been laid np for repairs most of the time.
Curtis, or Thompson, is a moulder by
trade, and was at his post as usual when
he took the hatchet iu his right hand,
placed his left hand ou the "tallow
board,"and hacked away. He made one
gash cross the Ueshy part of the hand,
just baok of the thumb, and with the
next blow out clear through the wrist at
the joiut, leaving only a small string
by which the severed member hung.
The first known of the horrible deed
was when the fellow walked through
the moulding room to Guard Joe Cava
naugh and requested to be taken in, at
tho same time exhibiting the ghastly
wound. Ho was conveyed to the hospi
tal, Dr. Jefl'ers, prison physioian, sum
moned. Ou arriving he amputated the
forearm half-way to the elbow.
Before the reporter left tho building
tho job was completed, and Curtis was
lying groaning as if in great agonv.. He
oiu questioners alter ne was brought
into the building, that his only reason
for the deed was to avoid work, but he
will find himself sorely mistaken, for as
soon as be dings himself through the or
deal of healing he will tiud plenty of
work provided, just as Howard, his pred
ecessor iu the arm-hacking experiment,
now finds.
Wardeu McKinnon is of the opinion
that the fellow must be insane, as there
can be no satisfactory explanation of a
sane man, with such a short seuteuoo,
disabling himself in tb lit nuinnor lint
those who knew him iu prison before
say he was always a shirk, and would
not work if he could help it. He is a
stout, hearty fellow.

NOT A VERY GOOD FRIEND.
He Mnrcler and Rob. His Friend at Tacnma.
Tacoma, W. T., July 19. A murder,
which has seldom been equaled in this
territory, was oommitted shortly before
daylight this morning. C. C. Grant, a
lodger in room 12 of the Franklin bonse,
740Vj St. Helens avenue, was murdered
for his money, in sight of several witness
es, not one of whom dared to lift his
band in bis defence.
The murderer, David E. Martin, alias
R. E. Coleman, but whose right name is
Henry Lattine, immediately fled and up
to a late hour had not been captured.
Grant was undoubtedly in bed when
he was attacked by Martin, and, judg
ing from the position of the body, had
jumped from where be had been lying,
only to meet his death wound a few
minutes later at the door.
Martin's bed also indicated that it had
been used, but from the fact that the
assassin was dressed when the deed was
committed, it is thought he bad either
disarranged the bed clothing to disarm
immediate suspicion, or had lain down
to rob Grant when he had fallen asleep.
Three shots were fired. The first
shot struck the headboard of the bed
about a foot above where Grant's head
lay on the pillow. Previously it is
thought that ho had been strtiok on the
head with a slungshot, as one was found
near the murderer. This would lead
one to thiDk that Martin had approach
ed Grant's bed with the fixed purpose of
robbing him, and had taken the slung
shot with him on his ovil errand, to use
it if Grant awakened. Failing in his
mission, and having used the weapon
with no visible effect on his victim, who,
it is presumed, awakened by his finding
his supposed friend trying to pull his
vest from beneath his head, Martin re
treated toward his own portion of the
room, quickly grasped a 44-oaiiber re
volver and fired, the bullet going
through thu headboard of Grant's bed,
as stated, into the wall beyond.
Grant is supposed to have jumped
from the bed to have scuffled with his
assassin, and have finally ejected him
from the room. Then were the other
two shots heard, the third and last one
is believed to have been the fatal bullet
which accomplished its mission. The
first of the last shots was fired slantingly
through the thin panels of the door
and had evidently passed over Grant's
head into the wall on the opposite side,
dropping out into the vacant lot north
of the hotel. The third bullet fired,
crashed through the thin doorway and
struck the affrighted man who was
vainly oalling to his former
friend, "for God's sake, Billy, dont !" in
the throat, shattering the windpipe, and
cut the main artery of the neck and
lodged against the spinal column.
Without a groan, without a further
struggle, Grant fell back on the floor
dead.
The murderer is supposed to have
found several thousand dollars, as it is
known that Grant had just sold his res
taurant in Spokane Falls, from which
they both came Thursday, and that he
carried the money received for the sale
in his vest pocket. Grant's trousers
were not gone, nor was bis ooat. In the
former were found $80 iu $20 gold pieces
and about $1 in silver change. In the
coat was a bank book showing that he
had $6000 deposited in the Traders Nat
ional Bank, of Spokane Falls.
The Coroner's verdict was that C. C.
Grant came to his death by a pistol shot
fired by David E. Martin with murder

Tile Jury Convict Him of Murder 111 the First
Degree.
Portland, Or., July 19. The Orego
nian in summing up the result of the
Olds murder trial Bays:
The jury retired at 5:30 p. M., July 18
und immediately took a ballot, which
stood as follows: Murder in the first de
degree, 7; second degre 1; manslaugh
3; blank 1. The second ballot showed
no change.. The third and fourth bal
lots stood : First degree 10 ; second de
gree 1 eaoh. The fifth ballot which was
taken at 8:30, two hours after the jury
retired, was unanimous for murder in
the first degree.
When the jurors were taken to supper
at 7 :35 it was noised about the oourt room
that they had agreed on a verdict.
They returned to the court house at 8 :00
aud 12 minutes luter were ushered into
the oourt room. A look at their faces
was sufficient evidenoe of Old's conyic
tiou. District Attorney MoGinn saw
this aud requested Weber's widow, who
had just arrived, to step into the ante
room, that the occasion might not be
made unnecessarily painful to the con
victed man. She obeyed. Weber's sis
ter was not on hand.
Olds stood up tit a motion of the clerk
and heard the verdict of "guilty as
charged in the iudictment," read. Then
he drew a long sigh and sat down and
shortly afterward was taken to juil.
His attorneys were granted time to
file a bill of exceptions. The oase will
be taken to the supreme court.
STORMS IN THE EAST.
Moutana and Dakota CiTs Injured By Hail,
Itaiu and Heat.
St. PauL, July 19. Advices from
uaauy and widely separated points in
Montana and Dakota report severe
storms of hail and rain yesterday. The
weather has been excessively hot in
places, and the crops are burned np by
the heat. In other places much dam
age hoe been done by water. The
streams are rising and serious overflows
are feared.
THE SEVEREST OF MAST TEARS.
Chicago, July 19. Tho severest thun
der storm in many years occurred here
last night. An inch of rain fell i n twen
ty minutes, cellars and basements were
flooded. Chinese laundrymea spent the
night perched on tables, basement lodg
ers were driven into the streets, and
much property was damaged.

MANYSWEPTTO HEATH.
West Virginia Devastated by a Clnndbnrst.
Pabkersbdbq, W. Va., July 19. The
greatest disaster which ever befell the
Little Kanawha valley came last night
in tne snape ot terrible olouuburst,
which completely flooded the oonntry.
destroying many lives, carrying off thou
sands of dollars worth of property, and
ruining the crops for miles around.
The deluge fell here about dusk and
continued to fall in torrents, doing much
damage in the city.
The worst of the storm was ou the
lower side of the Kanawha, where it was
the most destructive flood w ithin the
recollection. of the oldest inhabitants.
In three hours the Kanawha was raised
six feet and ran with such velooity that
it curried everything before it.
Mrs. Isaao H. Tuoker, Martin Lawless
and an unknown man were drowned.
The destruction in the Big Tygari val
ley was still greater. The flood com
pletely ruined a big mill near the mouth
of the river, and took the Tygart bridge
away with it.
Iu the valley all the fences and much
stock were lost.
A VILLAGE SWEPT AWAY.
The worst story of all comes from Mor.
ristown, a small villaee near the head of
Tucker's oreek, where the cloudburst
was concentrated in all its fury, oomiuf
down ou the village about midnight and
totally destroying it with many of its
people. The first report gave the loss
at eleven, but later news deems to fix it
at a greater number. Houses are said
to have been picked up and hurled
against eaoh other in such a short space
of time that no chance to escape was
given them. Among those lost at Mor
ristowu, are Jake Kager, his brothers
Joseph and Thomas, a man named Bai
ley, Orville West end wife and child.
The body of a man believed to he imntli.
er Morristowu victim was found ou the-
tichanlson tnrm this morning.
At Pill Brush all the bridges and cul
verts are washed away, and it is impossi
ble to reach or oomumnicate with that
point on any other on the upper waters.
It.is impossible to estimate the loss,
even here, as the river is still rising and
tearing everything loose. A house-boat
containing three or four persons went
out during the night, and it is believed
that all are lost.
A freight train on the Ohio River rail
road broke throgh a trestle at Harris's
landing, completely wrecking the train
and fatally injury William Neptune, au
employe. The w reck was caused by a
heuvy washout.
THE WEST VIRGINIA FLOOD.
Reports From the Scene of Disaster are Still
Meagre.
Wheeling, W. Va., July 21. An In
telligencer special from the flooded dis
trict says: It is feared that the death list
will be much increased when points cut
off from the outside world are beard
from.
A later dispatch says that the village
of Morristown, in Wirt county, was
swept entirely away. Great suffering
exists among those who lost all they
possessed. The county commissioners
will issue an appeal for aid. The cloud
burst oconrred on Limestone monntain,
where five creeks have aoommon source.
The damage to the crops was enor
mous and the farmers will be dependent
on oharity until next season.
