Filsinger'a place, and Friday morning one of the red skins was found dead in front of Howell's blacksmith shop with two bullet holes in his breast. A coroner's jury found death to have resulted from gunshot wounds mulcted by an unknown person The evidence introduced went to show that the shooting was a case of justifiable homicide. A white man did the deed but no ono knows who. Thursday night two Indians, a father and son, called at Lamar's store and asked to buy cider, but "Peck" Ellison, tho clerk, refused to sell them any, whereupon the Indians became abusive and Peck started to put the offenders out of doors. A scuflle ensued and Peck was on the bottom with two drunken Indians on top. Mr. Lamar pulled off the brutes, but not before they had torn Peck's sweater to shreds. One of the store windows was also broken. The Indians then started up the road and in front of tho K. of P. cemetery they met Cop Henrich. They asked him fora match and as he put his hand into his pocket both Indians grappled with him. (.'op had a pair of wire pliers in bis pocket with which he promptly knocked the older Indian down. The marks of the pliers were plainly visible on the fore head of the dead man the next morning. Cop finally escaped. The Indians continued their work un til the wrong man was struck. It was 10 o'clock at night when 3 rapid shots were heard, two of which took effect in the breast of the old man and the third wounded the younger Indian in the side and forearm. Night Watchman Allen was notified of the matter early Friday morning. He immediately notified Coroner Hurget, who came down Jrom The Dalles and impaneled the following jury: Sen Fonts, And Wiminn, Frank Button, Ern est ilemman, Hans Jochimsen, Bert Stranahan. The verdict was in accord ance with the above account. Indian friend of the dead man took charge of the remains and shipped the body to the John Day country, where, when alive, "ISig Hilly," as he'was Known, was con sidered a bad Indian, lie was about (10 years old, and his son John Dooley, is about :U . lively Kimnway on Oak Street. A runaw ay on Oak Ftreet Friday after noon brought out more people in (K) sec onds than a fire The team was a pair of blacks from the Fashion livery stable. A bridle fell from one of t lie horses as the team left the stable and they started up Btreet at a lightning speed. Jim Stranahan was holding the reins, but he quickly concluded the ground was a safer place than the seat behind the fiery steeds. Half a dozen people jumped to stop the horses and some one burled a chair at them as they passed Bartmess' porch. At Dallas' corner Fred Ingalls' team took fright and another runaway was narrowly averted. Fred held on to the lines while the horses and wagon ex ecuted a Maypole dance around the oak tree in the middle of the street with Col. Hartley fanning the animals with his hat. In the meantime the runnaway team broke loose from the buggy in front of Hartley's house and the horses were caught half a block further on. The only damage was some ripped harness and two broken singletrees. Transfer at the Locks. On account of the high water in the Columbia river, the Cascade locks are closed for a few days, necessitating a transfer to the patrons of the steamer line, but instead of the former transfer ring around the old portage road over sand and rocks, the Regulator line has chartered a special train to run over the 0. R. & N. track between Bonneville and Cascade Locks. The train is sta tioned at these points and on the arrival of steamer, passengers and freight are transferred to the train and promptly dispatched to the up and down boat as the case may be. The residents along the river and tributary country can con gratulate themselves upon having a steamer line anxious to adopt methods to overcome such difficulties rather than revert to the wagon and old time oxen practice. School Elections. A very small attendance was had at the election held in the town school dis trict Monday. Those present, however, took a deeD interest in school matters, and the questions that are being agitated in regard to our school were tuorougniy discussed.

Teachers Meet in Portland June 24-20. The western division of the State Teachers association will be held at Portland, June 24 to 29, 1903. The pro gramme for the meeting is one of the best ever prepared by the management of the association, and the indications are that this meeting will far surpass anything ever attempted in educational meetings in Oregon. The best talent the state affords ha? been secured to take part in the pro gramme which deals with many subject? of vital importance to the schools and educational interests of the state. Henry I). Pettengill of Lansing, Mich., one of the foremost educators of the United States, has been invited to be a guest of the association and will appear on the programme, and discuss a number of important educational topics. Railway companies have made an ex cursion rate to Portland for this occasion and a very large number of tt-achers will no doubt bejiresent to enjoy and profit by the meeting. It is expected that a number of Hood River school teachers will attend these meetings. Some will also attend the summer normals in Portland, to be con ducted by the Holmes buii e col'ege and in the Y. M. C. A. building. The lat ter school will be in charge of Superin tendent J. S. Landers of The Dalles ; I). A. Grout, principal of the Harrison street school, Portland, and J. S. Robinson. superintendent of Multnomah county. Hood River has raised $393 for IIcpp. ner sufferers. Of this amount (250 was raised in a few hours Tuesday morning and taken to Heppner that noon by Elmer Rand and Dr. J. F.

Mr. Berimes left Hood River Monday noon on board the special relief train from Portland. He took with him 9 coffins, and at The Dalles he was joined by Undertaker Burget, who took 10 coffins. They reached Heppner 1 o'clock Monday night and had no chance to rest or sleep until late Tuesday night. Mr. Bartmess says before he got to Heppner there seemed to be no system for taking care of the dead. There was undue haste in burying the dead, and in some instan ces no attempt was made to identify the bodise. The people were so panic stricken they hardly knew what they were doing. A wrong idea of just how it all hap pened is easily gained, says Mr. Bai t mess. There are no indications) that a wall of water 15 or 20 feet high rolled through the town. Willow creek raised hardly 7 or 8 feet out of Its banks. But the flood was a mass of mud and debris, with large quantities of Jbail and water, sweeping everything before it. A great ueai 01 me nail remained uuineltw! all day Tuesday, and that day one body was brought to the morgue frozen solid. A singular thing about the awful affair is that there are no injured among those who escaped. Heppner people either escaped uninjured or per ished. Doctors who reached there with bandages and medicines found no pro fessional duties awaiting them. The work of uncovering bodies from the de bris still goes on with a thousand men. but many of the dead never will be recovered. The weather Monday and Tuesday was about like it was in Hood River. Saloon Licenses Rejected. The Hood River saloon keepers were refused a renewal of their licenses at an adjourned meeting of the city council Tuesday night. The vote of the council on a motion to grant the licenses stood 3 to 3 Councilmen P. 8. Davidson, Blowers and Prather voting "aye," and Mayes, Gessling and H. F. Davidson vot ing "no." The result being a tie, Mayor Coon, deciding that the saloon petitions did not have a majority of the legal voters of the city, cast the deciding "no." The question will come up again for further consideration at the next regular meeting of the council. MONDAY NIGHT PROCEEDINGS. The city council met Monday evening. Three saloon petitions were presented, each containing about 100 names. A remonstrance against granting the sa loons license, containing 190 names w as presented. The petitions and remon strance were referred to a committee to ascertain the number of legal voters on each. Committee to report at meeting Tuecday evening. The committee having in charge the reports of Paget 4 Clark in regard to a sewerage system made a verbal report, w hich was accepted and the committee continued. The following claims against the city were allowed, and warrants ordered draw n to pay the same: J LAUen f 25 00 Dr. Dumble . 42 00 Paget & Clark 200 Oil G P Crowell ri fin Jack Allen 50 00 F A Cram 11 30 Jos Pratt 11 20 G E Williams 4 35 Wm Thompson, meals 8 S4 II It Com Co 2M Marshal Cunning 50 00 Major J.

Adjourned to meet Tuesday, June 16 BiiNine.tN Lively at Trout Lake. J. W. Claterbos was in Hood River Wednesday from Trout Lake. "Times are lively over in our section," said he. "Chris (Juler, the hotel man, has 30 campers on his grounds, and many people are coming in every week. The Trout lake farmers are experimenting with cheese making. Mr. Townsend, the Pacific coast cheese man, furn ishes a cheese maker and markets the product, all for a commission of 2 cents a pound. The rest of the income is di vided among the farmers on a co-operative basis. The factory is turning out about a ton of cheese a week, and has been In operation less than u month." Mr. Claterbos is owner and builder of the White Salmon-Trout Lake tele phone line, which was nut up this spring, and which is now being ex tended to Fulda and Glenwood. Mr. Claterbos says the people ure taking readily to tiie use ot the phones and that his line wiH begin to prove profit able before long. Telephone service is furnished the Trout lake farmers for $1.25 a month. At White Salmon con nection Is made with the Hood River system of the Pacific States Telephone company, aiul the charges forS minute talks between here and Trout lake are 50 cents. The Menominee Lumber company Is meeting with success in driving logs down the lute Salmon. A million and a half feet of timber is now Hear ing the mouth of the river, the high water hurrying the timber down with a rush Over 20 men are busy with the drive. Mr. Claterbos delivered 1,000,000 teet ot logs to the Menominee company this year, most of it beingextra fine yellow pine. A week ago last Sunday Mr. Claterbos lost three valuable cws by eating dynamite. tSome log drivers had left the explosive on a rock near the river, and to the tows who ate it, it was a deadly poison, the animals all dying within an hour. At While Salmon C. M. Wolfard is doing an immense business in the gen eral merchandise trade. Mr. Claterbos declares Mr. Wolfard is doing more bus iness than any two llotid River stores. How to da a Stunt. It is no easy trick to do a stunt prop erly. The stunt that consists in making progress in the world is the trick that depends on erft'ct manhood and strength. If such perfection is lacking there is no builder equal to Palmo Tab lets, the great nerve and manhood builders carried by Williams' pharmacy.
