By our exeh inges we should judge that

The following is from the Goldendale

murder was committed near this city
some lime last week, in a lone cabin on
the bunch grass, where it was discover
ed only last Sunday morning. The
murdered man is Thus. Galpheree, and
Ilia remains were found by some neigh
bors, on the bed, covered with lied

lerer, in a horrible state of decomposi-
ion. His head had been blown almost
•ntirely off by a charge of buckshot. A
barred paper, lying on the floor, show
fl that an attempt had been made to
urn the premises ami cover the crime.
The place is located eighteen miles from
