THE WASHINGTON STATESMAN
Published Every Saturday Morning

SHOOTING CAsE.-An unfortunate and
fatal shooting ARRAY took place on the
summit of the Blue mountains, on the
road to Grand Gronde Valley, on last Sat
urday, 10th inst, in which Mr.. Andrew
Morgan, who reached this valley some five
weeks since, from Davis county, Iowa, was
mortally wounded; he survived till Mon
day, when he breathed his last. The re-
mains were conveyed to the farm house of
Mr.. A. Davidson, near Walla Walla,
whittier Justice E. L. Massey las acting
Coroner proceeded on Tuesday evening
last and summoned Jury of Inquest over
the same The character of the testimo-
ny elected was substantially as follows:
Morgan on passing through Grand
Ronde, on his way to this valley, left in
the valley an american mare, which was
unable to travel farther, to be cared for by
certain parties; not long since he received
word frcm them that Mr. Van Lurvin had
come aud taken off the animal, saying that
it belonged to him, having purchased it
from other hands; Morgan Immediately re-
paired to Van Lurvins, and without noti-
flying him recaptured the mare, and, in COM
pany with ther persons, vas returning to
this valley, when. on the summit of the
mountain, Van Lurvin overlook them. Go
ing up to Morgan who was in advance,
leading the animal by a halter he excIaim
ed: That mare is mine, and | intend to
have hrr;" suiting The action to the word,
Van L. dismounted and seized the halter,
whereupon a scufle ensued, in which Van
L. was worsted he, however, got off and
directed his pistol toward Morgan, the cap
only exploding. This lead 10 a moro vio-
lent engagement of the combar ants. When
the spectators approached, theJ found Nor
gan down and his antagonist beating him
ov. r the head with the breech of his p's-
tol the report of three or four shots was
also heard. The ball entered behind the
left shoulder, coursing DOWN. ards, iniuring
the lungs, lodged in the spine-producing
paralysis.
The Jury, after a careful hearing of all
the evidence in the case, rendered verdict
that the deceased ''came to his death in
consequence of said wound or pistol shot
in the hands of some person whose name
is not positively known to this Jury"
A post mortem examination Of the body
was made by Drs. A. ]. Thibodo and
Shell.
Upio the hour of going to press no ar
rest has been made. Yah Lurvln is still at
large. 1t is stated that after shooting
Morgan, he took his (M's) pistol, mounted
his horse and escaped.

The CARRIBoo MINES Mr.. r. Friend.
with others, arrived here this week, having
left what is known as g Williams Creek,
in the CARR boo country on the lst Septem-
ber, and laid over ten days on their way
down. We have obtained from Mr. F. the
following items in regard TO that country
When he left the weather was as mild and
pleasant as it is in Waila WsIia; the nights
however were cold During the past sum-
mer about 1900 min rs have been at work
on Williams creek, but the mines have not
turned out as well as was at first expected
The country has been pretty thoroughly
prospeced Miners were generally dissat-
isied and many had left for Victoria to
winter; ; Others for the Boise country and
Walla Walla. The mines are mostly
& drift diggings," such as capitalists only
can work advantageously aud proftably,
and 1t will not pay poor man to work
them. Labor is high-from 10 to $ll per
day. The aggregate number OF men IN the
mines during the past season was about
5000. Flour was worth $50 per hundred
pounds sugar 1925 per 10 ; tea 81 ; ba-
con from S ,25 to 81, so; beans $50 per
hundred.
Below the canon, at Middletown, there
are some six or eight claims that are paying
from fifty to two hundred ounces per day,
with rockers The mines at Browns town
are also paying well
On their way down the party found
twelve white men and party of Cninamen
at work al the mouth of the Okanakane
river making from So to $40 per day.
Six miles below the month of the river is
a small trading post. This the Okiuakane
Indians attempted to beSeige, but thy
were driven off hy the whites. These In

express the opinion that they may yet

right direction and one which the farmers
of the different neighborhOods would do
well t. i'm tate for TIE manufacture of syrup
here cannot fail TO be profitable Besides
supplying our own valley and the large
surrounding mining country with syrup and
sugar, in case surplus should ever be pro-
duced, it would find a ready market in the
Willamette and other valleys west of the
mountains where it is believed the cane can
not be successfully raised. a mill, such as
are in general use in the northern and
western States can be bought for $3.50 to
$500 and by forming Deighborhood com
panies to purchase them the cost would be
made very light upon individuals. We no
tice, by our exchanges, that a patent has
recently been issued for mill ivented in
Cincinnati, Ohio, which it is stated can be
put up and sold for $3.50, and which is ca
pable of doing as much work as the more
