At Newport on the night of the
4th, z6otootney Jack, chef Of the
Indians of Siletz Reservation, got
into a row with some white men
and was shot in tie head by Thos.
Boyle, from the effect of which he
died in q few hours. The Indian
4 was under the influence Of liquor at
the time, and drew a revo yer on
Boyle before the latterattemptc1 to
shoot. There were many Indians
of the same tribe at Newport at the
time this occurred, and for a time
grave apprehensions were felt by
the whites of trouble.

The following from the O,egoo-
ian will he read with interest: A
party of cod prints" (mostly at
tacles of the Weml0 who started
for the summit Of Mount Hood
about ten days ago, returned to
this city on Thursday evening.
They succeeded in reaching the
summit in safety on the morning
of the Fourth. The partyercamp-
cd at the edge OF the snow line on
the evening of the 81, and arising
very early the following morning.
they managed to reach the highest
point after six hours and a half of
laborious climbing. The last thou
sand feet was scaled with great de
ticulty and not without hazard. In
many places the party were com
PEELED to cut notches in the solid
snow and ice before secure " foot
ings" could be gained. y wide
and deep creyasse crossed their
path in one place, and caused the
party much labor and time to Get
over. Lelgcs Of rock were passed,
through the cralnicS Of which smoke
was seen to constantly issue, and
the stones in numerous places were
intentionally warm, a most vii
lainous and ubcamble stencil was
emitted in some places, When the
party halted to rest Oh their upward
march. Even the snow tasted OIL
birthstone, and every surrounding
seemed to indicate the proximity of
the internal region. After reaching
the summit, the parties remained
about three quarters Of an hour
before commencing the descent.
The sun had scarcely arose when
the summit was gained. The view
was said to be most sublime. As
the sun shot his earliest rays through
the masses of tilmy clouds, and
over the stretches Of plains, hills
and forests, the shadow Of Hood
was thrown Gear across the Will
lamcttc Valley, and against the
western horizon. Such another
magnificent view could not be OBJ
tanned anywhere in the State. Port
land could be family deserted with
the aid of powerful Spy-glass, and
rescmbled a cluster of white objects
not dissimilar to small pieces Of
cloth attached to o line. a cold,
cutting wind soon compelled the
party to begin the descent, which
they did after giving three hearty
cheers in honor OF the National
Anniversary. A splendid time was
experienced by the party-huntmg
and fishing being the favorite
of the trip.
The Momons at Sat Lake are
