SAD News. BY recently received let
trrs from Iowa, the sad news reaches us
of the death of little Ira Herbert or
Herbert Turner as he Was always called,
the eldest son of Robert aud Jane Tur-
ncr, Of Franklin Township, Monroe Co.,
Iowa. IIrrber's father was Il hulfbroth
cr, and his mother half sister OF Mrs
Morse. A number of years ago each
mourned the sudden death of an own
brother, Mr. 7. 10 lsing his brother John
some nine years ago, who wns accident
ally crushed to death by log rolling
over his body, causing instantaneous
denl yhie ut work al me in the woods
while few years previously Mrs rs
brother William came to his death by
accidcGml drowning Now their son,
poor little Herbert, has met IN equally
sad tate. They were visiting ut grandpa
Turner :, the residence of the mother
and father ot Mrs VI and OF saac III
Turner Of this place, short distance
from his home. Herbert was always Il
great hand 10 be around the horses. \
pair of very young horses were htched
near the house. Herbert ventured too
close to their heels, whc1 one of them
kicked at him, striking him near the ear
lie never was conscious afterwards,
breathing his last few hours after re.
ceiving the injury. This sud event took
place On the last day Of the past month.
Should Herbert have lived he would be
eight years OF age the Goth OfneXt Nov.
When last we saw him be was about
the aye aud size, and presented some
thing the same appearance of our own
boy Eddie. He possessed qualities sell
dom equaled, making him especially the
pet and general tavorite Of very large
circle OF relatives and friends who will
keenly feel the loss of the bright eyed,
manly little fellow, and will sympathise
with his fond parents in their great loss.
His name was selected by his two aunt.
Aunt Mary, or Mrs. II. G. York of Seattle,
selecting his first name Of Ira; while
Aunt Matte, as Mrs. Morse was called
IN his family, chose the name Herbert ,hy
which he was always called. Her aifrc-
tion for him was nearly the same as for
her own child, and had not death re-
moved her from her earthly suffering,
she wsnd mourn with US here, the loss Of
this general favorite ofal who knew him,

possible, the loss we all so keenly feel.

The following items are from the In
tcii;geacer:
PROGREsSING.-Wo on the ). & w.
w. r. r., is progressing rapidly. Wed
nesday the gang of Cinnamon wlo had
been employed on the grade this sile Of
Steelc's landing, were moved up the
road to work on The branch line to Tai
bot. The s,ringers are going on very
fast, and the grade from the head of the
INy 10 Sterle's is nearly completed, there
being only little patching up in places
to be done. The work of laying the
ties along the track will be commenced
Immediately, and pushed forward rapidly.
4 large raft Of piles for the wharf ar
rived here yesterday. The time is fast
approaching when we shall hear the
shrill whistle on the 5. II W. W. r. r..
rcsounding through the forest Mt the
head nt the bay, anil the traffic of the
road will largely add to the hustle and
business appearance OF our lively little
city.
THE Mill SoLD.--We are Informed
that J. NJ. Colman has this week pur-
chased Mr. Yesler's mill property, EN-
brACing 4G5 feet ON Mill street, by 200
feet toward Front. The consideration to
be paid is $4,000.
The band OF six hundred sheep. which
We stated few weeks since. Mr.. Dun
skin, of Walla Walla, had found mar
kct for in Seattle, and had gone back to
Yakima to bring over, arrived in the
Snoqualmie valley. 1t is statcd that he
will probably keep the sheep short
time at Snoqualmic prairie to recuperate,
as they are little worn out from tue ei-
fects OF their long journey. The sheep
will then be brought here in good con-
ditiOn.
FROM FALL CITY.--Wc learn from n
gentleman from Fall City that that little
town is going ahead with the rest of our
country. The pile-driver is now en-
gagged piling for new Wharf 30x4O feet.
There will be n new warehouse built on
the wharf as soon as it is completed,
which will be 15x20 feet. There are sew
eral new buildings also gong up in the
town, and altogether things present a
rather lively appearance there. Mr..
Elwell has recently started new camp
about Is miles above the town, and viii
make n speciality OF getting out spars
and long timbers. The timber in that
locality grows very straight and tall,
and Is well adapted to this purpose.
We wish to ask the author of the
above how Mr.. Elwel expects to get
those spars and long tinbers down over
the Snoqualmio Falls, some $50 feet in
height, and situated short distance
above Falls Gty; or did he intend to
head the article Snohomish ? Ed

Thorndtke Locals.


In our last weeks locals We noticed that there
was one word changed, and by so doing the arti-
Gle conveyed very different meaning than we
inten led. In justice to myself and the parties re-
ferred to- we think it is proper to say that Liquor
was substituted for the word "bottles," which we
used in speaking of the celebration in which our
young Americas engaged the other day. We
did not wish to convey the idea that the bottles
contained liquor, but merely that they were used
by the boys in the place of cannons.
The weather during the week has been very
fne but warm. Some of our farmers have COM
menced haying, but there will be but little done
until the middle or last OF next week.
Potatoes which have been selling for forty and
forty cents, have now gone down to twenty.
The religious interest is still progressing. One
by one they are joining the army which is march
ing to victory.
The company of Advents that have been at
Unity for week past, have moved to another
place.

| There were plenty of men who could shout pro-
hibition upon the house-top and the hilltop, but

Terrible BaNle Between Z. ).
Troops and Indians.
GEN. CUSTER AND HIS WHOLE
COMMAND SLAUGHTERED
Whole Number Killed, 3lJ.

Salt Lake City, July 5. A special correspond
ent of the Helena (Moutana) Herald writes FOL-
lows
Still Water, Montana, July 2, 1876.
MUgciEs Taylor, scout for Gen. Gibbon, got
here last night, direct from Little Horn River.
Gen. Custer found the Indian camp of 2000
lodges, on the Little Horn, and Immediately at
tacaed tie camp. Gen. Custer t"oA tive CO, pa
les and charged the tckcst potion OF TIE camp.
Nothing is known of the operations of this de-
tachment only they trace ii by the dead Maj
Reno commanded the other seven companies, and
attacked the lower portion of the camp. The In
dams poured in a murderous fire from all direc-
tons, besides the greater portions fought on
horseback General Custer, his two brothers,
nephew and brother-in law, were all killed, and
not one of the detachment escaped. Two hun
bred and seven men were buried in one place, and
tue killed estimated at 800, with only 81
wounded. The Indians surrounded Gen. Reno's
command and held them one day in the hills. The
Indians got all the arms of the killed soldiers
There seventeen commissioned officers killed
The whole Custer family died at the head of their
column. The exact loss is not known, as both the
adjuants and sergeant major were killed. The
Indian camp was from three to four miles long,
and was twenty miles up the Little Horn from its
mouth. The Indians actually pulled men OFT
their horses in some instances. This report is
given as Taylor told it, for he was over the field
after the battle.
The above is confirmed by other letters, which
say that Custer has met with fearful disaster.
Another Account.
Bosnian, Montana, July 81 p. NJ Mr.. Tay-
Tor, bearer of dispatches from Little Horn to
Fort Ellis, arrived this evening, and reports the
following:
The battle was fought on the 25th ult., 80 or 40
miles below the Little Horn. General Custer at.
tackled the Indian village of from 2500 to 1000
war; iors side, and Col. Reno was to attack
on the other side. Three companies were placed
on hill reserve. General Custer and 10
officers, and every man belonging to the five COM
panies, were killed. Col Reno retreated under
protection of the reserve. The whole number
killed was 3l5. When General Gibbon joined
Reno the Indians left. The battle ground looked
like slaughter pen, as it really was, being mar
row ravine. The dead were much mutilated
The situation now looks serious. Gen. Terry ar
rived at Gibbons camp on a steamboat, and
crossed the command over and accompanied it to
Join General Custer. who knew it was coming be-
fore the fifth arrived. Lieutenant Critteuden, son
of General Crittenden, was among the killed.

W WASHINGTON.
legislatiYe.

Washington, July 6. One of the Senate mem
bers of the committee of conference on the legis-
latye, executive and judicial appropriation bill,
saws that two of the three House conierees
souarey took the position to-day that the Senate
must consent to the proposed changes in the law
regarding the salaries and the organization OF
civil service, or else the House will refuse any
and all appropriations for the several branches of
the public service covered by the bill.
The same authority states that the Senate con-
erees offered to meet the House half way for the
reduction OF the force and In other discretionary
matters, and to leave all questions OF re ADJUST
ment of salaries to the next session, after An IN
yestgation by JOINT committee during the recess,
the salaries thus agreed upon at the next session
to be retroactive to the commencement OF the
fiscal year. These propositions being declined,
aud position assumed which the Senate conierees
regard as coerciye, the conference terminated
in radical disagreement, and the prospects for
the adjustment OF the differences between Inc
two houses are now as discouraging rs at any
time.
