tain alwmt nin vear avo. were found
a few lavs since on tbe headwaters of
Rock crrek. in the southeastern por
tion of Xfarion eountv.
While Mr. Tucker, was hunting in
the Cascade" mountains ii the Santiam
district, he disappeared "d a long
search for brn was fruitfcyj. no trace
bemZ found of the unfortunate hunter.
Speculation was rife at the time, and
scores of theories were advanced as to
the cause of the man's disappearance.
nrn"jr his acquaintances being so
rncharitoble as to ugge$t that Tucker
nad dthberately left the country, rbev
er t-o return, these idle tongues , sug
gesting all manner of reasons for this
course on the part of the lost maiv
After an extended search for Mr. Tuck
er, in the mountain reg-kan where he
was la? known to have been, it wns
decided that he had perisrhed, and that
remains would probaljly it be found,
ur.less by chance. : Tlis hrjpe has at
last been realized, the- remain having
been discovered by a prospector, a fe
days ago. on the headwaters of Rock
Creek. The body was brought to the
nearest railroad station, and was sent
to Portland, on Wednesday, For inter
ment. AVhen the remains were found, identi
fication, was had by former acquaint
ances of the deceased, who recognize
the remnants of wearing apparai found
on the remains, and the accoutrements
had by the deceased when starting on
his iznt hunt nine years 3go. Deceased
was lost during a Winding s-now storm,
and it is probable that he froze to death.

speech, in which he adroitly referred to
the turning down of Spokarte. but
pledged l"o'al support to the party, 2-r.d
a big Repullicanj joiajority . : His speech
was well received. . .
'The platform says:
"We endorse in its Urcty t"ie oa

of 'President ;McKink'y, and instruct
the -delegate's .seated bv this conven

T1V turn down f ex-Senator VVikon
was the sensation, and it he only one, of
the con-vent ion. The ami-Wilson
movement became apparent early yes
terday, and it increased in intensity as
the day advanced. The sotrthwestern
candid-ites were emphatic in declaring
that Wilson could have nothing. Pierce,
Walla Walla and Whitman swung into
line with them solidly, while King wa
divide-!. Some of King's men held oat.
urging, it not god polit-cs. Caucus
ing went tin all night, and still King
held off. They were then informed
that, unless they caanve forward, they
themselves would be shirt out and jive i
no delegates. The same fight that was
made on Hopkints had been alo w'tge i
against Hughes, of King, wbo. was an
acknowledged Wilson man. . Before
morning rhey dropped Hughes, an I
when the threat to down NettfeMer.
King's other candidate, wa made, lh?y
weakened, and at 8 o'clock the -combination
that had been worked upon so
long was completed. When Spokinc
saw that their friends in Kings could no
longer stay by them, they withdrew
Hopkins, and the slate was quickly
nn-t-e up. ' . ,
