From the Pondleton Tribune.
Hunt's first passenger train
ar-
rived last nislit and lett
this
morning.
It is learned that the residence
of B. Perrin, which he recently
erected on his fnnn on tho North
Fork of the John Day, was recent
ly burned to the ground with all
its contents. I'errin assorts that
it was the work of an incendiary
and thinks he can spot the man.
Herbie, the little six-year-old
son of Dr. and Mrs. C. J. Whitta
ker, died on Tuesday morning of
membranous croup. The little
fellow was just as lively and ap-
Darautlv as healthy as any child
only a day or two before, and the
sudden ending of his little life has
almost prostrated his parents with
grief.
From the D.lly E. 0 Oot. 11.:
W. D. Fletcher returned lust
evening from the Butter creek coal
mines. He got caught in one of
the heavy storms for which that
section is noted while going out,
and says that the outfit was almost
swamped by the deluge of rain
which assaulted it.
There are now five prisoners in
the county jail. They are allowed
to circulate about in the outer cor
ridor during the daytime, can con
sole themselves with tobacco, read
books anil newspapers, play cards,
shave themselves on Sunday, and
altogether, are given a good many
privileges.
The little blacksmith shop stand
ing on the lots purchased byG. V.
Hunt ot li. Despain, is being re
moved preparatory to the com
mencing of the construction of the
O. &. W. T. depot, which will be
located on that block. The build
ing was purchased by W. W. Ro
per and will be occupied by the
branch marble works ot -Mies v
Vinson, of Walla Walla.
David Love, an O. & W. T.
brakeman, had his hand badly
mashed Tuesday while coupling
cars in the Walla Walla yard, the
amputation of the fore finger be
ing necessary. lie is a brother of
Eugineer Love, now running the
construction train in Pendleton.
The artesian well at Pasco is
now down about COO feet, and the
management are now engaged bor
ing out one of their sand pumps
which became lodged at the bot
tom. The original fund for tlig
ing the well has long ago been ex
hausted, but thus far the work has
been continued by means of pri
vate subscriptions.
Mr. Frazer, a prominent Middle
Fork stockman, is in town from
the John Day neighborhood. He
reports the people enthusiastic on
the wagon road question out there,
and Bays that he can name over a
dozen residents who will contribute
a week's work each to extend the
road into the John Day settlement
after it is finished to the Grant
county line. Nine-tenths of the
people of his section will do all
their trading in Pendleton, he says,
after the road is completed.
WASHINGTON.
J. W. Redington, of the Puyallup
Commerce, was one of the best
friends Ellensburgh had iu the
contest for capital houors. The
beauty of it was he required no
boodle to tune his lyre. He came
out unsolicited and sang his song
without variation from beginning
to end. Ellensburgh Localizer.
B. Hanson and William G. Par
ker brought us some samples of
their coal from Wilsou creek. It
looks well and burns first rnte.
We would like some expert to ex
amine it and tell us what it is and
what its value is. The vein is four
feet and over in thickness, and dips
into the hill. It is not in a bro
ken country, and is therefore
thought to be a solid formation.
Ellensburgh Localizer.
Elder F. White has left with us
a hue sample ot Egyptian corn
grown on his place, two miles east
of Watorville. It is said to be a
great success in California and
those familiar with it are confident
it will find a natural home in the
ilig Bend. It grows to the height
of from four to six feet, makes an
ornamental crop, yields wonder
fully and the grain is useful for all
kinds of stock as well as for flour
and meal. Empire,
Trivate Walker of the Second
cavalry iu charge of Private Jo
seph Kirchoff was taken to Fort
Sherman on the Coner d' Alene
train. Private Walker is totally
blind, the result of an accident
while participating iu the sham
battle at Cayuse station. A raw
recruit, fired a blank cartridge full
in Walker's face, when, standing
within a few feet of him, the burnt
powder peuetrating his eyes and
destroying his sight. The physi
cians have hopes that he may at
least partially recover his eye

Billy Rex returned from Wen-
atchee yesterday, and from
him
we obtain the following partial-
lurs of the shooting of Gus Riddle
by one Peterson on Monday: Gus
Riddle run the ferry boat at Mo
ses Coulee. Petercou engaged in
words with Kiddle, over a debt the
former claimed the latter owed
him. Finally Peterson shot
Kiddle twice, both shots taking ef
fect iu his side, from which it is
expected the uufortuuate man
will die. Riddle was taken to
Ellensburgh, but reports have
been received at Wenatchee that
he died from the effects of the
wounds. Empire.
A short time after midnight ou
Wednesday morning, O. D. Hare, a
brakemau, was followed by two
foot-pads and when he gained
Main street, one of them
struck him on the head with a

"The ice is broken!' and the hope
is entertained that we may have
sufficient rain to give the grass a
start so that range stock may gath
er enoufeii flesh and strength to
worry through the impending win
ter mouths.
Aftei blowing and threatening
for several days the weather clerk
sent us some thunder, lightning
and rain on Monday evening last
at about nine o'clock, the first, with
a single exception, we have had
since last May.
A 'gold lode was struck last
week about ten miles from this
city, on Shaw's mountain, this side
of the summit, by Girard Uppertz.
It is said to be six feet in width
and we are told that it will pay
when pulverized fifty cents to the
pound. We never vouch for the
amount a new strike is reported to
pay.
Almost every man who comes
in over the Rocky Bar road the
old overland has a story to tell
of the richness of the recently
discovered lodes near Corder's.
The latest report is that the quartz
pays a dollar per pound. That is
too much. Gold will become too
common at that rnte. Call it one
cent pe pound. Quartz will pay
well with that degree of richness
provided the lour; is reasonably
wide nnd the ore is not refractory.

. W. Journal.
A terrible explosion occurred nt
the Baker Mill, about 20 miles up
Mill creek on Monday morning
(7thinst.)at eight o'clock. The
mill has not been running during
the summer, and had undergone
repairs, ready for work. On Mon
day morning, the engineer built
his fire, and got up steam, pump
ing the boiler full of water, he then
went around behind the boiler to
look over some of tha working
parts of the machinery. Previous
to this time, a force of men had
beenjaroundthe mill, repairing the
saw frames and log ways, but at
this time, all had departed from
the premises except one man, Alex
Harding, who was busy repairing
a part of the machinery. All at
once the men outside were greeted
with a deafening roar followed by a
bliudine delusjo of s;.wdust and
water. As soon as they recovered
from the shock, an investigation
was made and it was found that
the whole front of the boiler had
blown out, parts of it being thrown
a distance of over one hundred
feet. Harding's body was found
in a fearful condition, the head,
both legs and one arm were miss
ing; the explosion tore off a large
portion of the roof and
completely wrecked the saw
frames. One of Harding's legs
vas found in the joists above the
saw frames, and an arm was found
at the edge of the timber, fully
two hundred feet away. After the
explosion the engineer, who had
been back of the boiler came for
ward, covered with sawdust, and
considerably bruised, and testified
that he was only carrying eighty
Dounds of steam and two gauges
of water, a fact that was substantia
ted by the foreman or the mill,
Mr. Hodges. What caused the
accident is a mystery, and had it
happened sooner a fearful loss of
life would have been the result.
Mr. Hodges telegraphed the coro
ner at Pendleton, asking what dis
position to make of the body. The
man was a new comer in this sec
tion, and had been working on the
mill only three days when this
dreadful accident happened.
A Spanish Lf-p'ml.
A certain young Spanish friar,
a skillful painter, especially de- i
lighted in devising new aspects of
blessedness and beauty for the
Virgin and in setting, forth the
devil in the most repulsive and
extravagant ugliness. Santan bore
this as best he could for some
time, but at last he determined to
be revenged. He assumed the
disguise of a most lovely maiden,
and the unhappy friar, being of an
amorous disposition, fell into the
trap. She smiled sweetly on her
shaven wooer, but would not sur
render her beauty at a less price
than the rich reliquaries and
jewels of the treasury o the mon
astery. In an evil hour the poor
painter admitted her at midnight
within the convent walls, and she
took from the antique cabinet the
precious things she desired. Then,
as they wound-their way through
the moonlit cloister, the sinful
friar clutching his booty with one
arm and his beauty with the other, j
the demon lady suddenly cried out!
"Thieves'." with diabolical energy.
TJu started all the snoring monks, i
and rushed iu disorder from their
cells, detecting the unlucky brother
making off with the plate. Him
they tied safe to a pillar, leaving
him there till tlie next day should
dstermiue his puuishment while
the brethren went back to their
pillows or their prayers; and then
the cruel devil appeared in his
real bhape to the poor painter,
tauntiug and twiting him and
making unmerciful mockery of his
amorous overtures and his prayers
advising him now to appeal to
the beauty he had so loved to de
lineate in his canvases! The peni
tent monk took the advice; and lo
the radiant mother of mercy de
scended in all her heavenly loveli-
ness, unbound his cords, bade him Jose saddle, silver inlaid hand
fasten the evil one iu his place to! made Mexican spurs and a pair of
the column, and appear among ! "chaps", worth at the lowest mar-
i i,a mm, l i.,-vt imirniiio at matins,
which he did. to the great surprise
of the biethreu. He voted f jr
his own condemnation; but whe
they went to the SRcristy and
foiwd everything marvelously cor-
rect in its place, and when they
went fr the column (4iey found the
devil fast bound, tiiev forgave the
erring brother, and administered a
tremendous flogging to the devil.
The monk became not only ''a wis
er and better man," but a better
artist, he is now able to paint the
Virgin more serenely beautiful,
the arch enemy more appallingly
ugly than ever.
A FAST HOIt.E.
Axtell llrraks tlm Mile Trnt'in;
Record ftt
Tprre Hante.
' Terue Haute, Ind., Oct. 11. A mile
in two minutes and twelve seconds is a
great feat f r an aged borne at any gait
When it is done by a three-year-old stal
lion at trotting gnit, it means a record
that will stand for many days: it means
"the acme of physical endurance, courage
and all that goes to make a king of all
horses.
The fonrth dny of the fall meeting
brought out a crowd as large nnd enthu
siastic, as ever a perfect Iudian summer
sun shone on, to witness an event that
one is fortunate to see in a lifetime, the
great Axtell to beat the three year-old
. record (2:1.) held by the California
Snnol.
"When brought out for a warming-up
heat, he moved with such determii'"tion
and freedom that few thought the reoord
would stand; but that he would knock
1?4 seconds from it, the wildest enthu
siasm did not dream.
George Star was behind Father John
as a helper. Williams nodded for the
word, and at the second attempt the
great flight was begun, with that smooth
aotion for which Axtell is noted.
The first quarter was reached in 3.3,
and the half in 1:05'..,. ,;Too fnot," said
Colonel Ooiiley, and aaitfli wentnp from
the crowd, as it was felt that the drive
was in si ile too soon. Still the game oolt
flew on, faster and faster.
One thirty-two and a quarter was the
gait to the three-quarter post with never
a falter.
As he breasted the hill and turned in
to the home stretch, the shout went up,
,4He will do it!" On he rushed, and
without a wabble, or a false stroke, be
finished the mile strong in 2:12. Thus
at one stroke, he reduced tho 3-year-old
record one and three-quarter seconds,
also the record for stallions at all ages.
Pandemonium broke loose, and the
stretch was black with a shouting, yell
ing mob.. Williams was taken from the
sulky and borne uloft ou men's shoul
ders, and cheer after cheer went up for
the gallant colt and his driver.
The official timers were J. II. Stiuer,
seorc .ary of the American Trotting Asso
ciation: A. I'. Kush, of Detroit, and Col
onel Conley, of Chioago. Their vfatohes
agreed exaotly on all fractions of the
mile, and the watches of Judges Beau-
champ and Morgan told exaotly the
same tale. The track is seven feet over
a mile by the official f ,rvev.
AXTELL SOLD FOR ?105,000.
Teishe Hai te, Oct. 11. Colonel Con
ley, of Chicago, late to-r.ight completed
the nurobase of the great trotter Axtell
for $105,0(10. It is supposed that he rep
resents a syndicate. Andy Walsh, of
Hartford, and John Madden, of Lexing
ton, offered Williams $101,000- for the
colt, and bad n certified check for that
amount. This he refused, and after
wards he accepted Colonel Couley's offer
with much reluctance. This is the
highest price ever paid in the world for
a horse of any description.
It is understood that the great colt
will go into Budd Dobler's stable in the
morning.
