A Chico, CAL, dispatch says that II ar
rests have been made, five for the murder
of Cinnamon, and the others for compiled
ty in various incendiarisms committed
during the last four months. Two OF the
parties charged with murder have made
full sworn statements, saying that they
went to the cabin with view of robbing,
but finally decided to kill the Cinnamon
to make things secure. The statements
throw light on the burning of a number
of Chinese buildings and manufacturing
establishments employing Chinese. Sew

CHoPs AND ToMAToEs.---In Dick
ems inimitable story of the Pick.
wick Club is graphic account Of
the case Of Bardell vs.. Pickwick, in
q suit for breash of promise of mar
riage. Seargent Buzfaz, counsel for
plaintiff, finds a note from Pickwick
to Mrs. Bardell, his landlady, order
ing for his dinner, "chops and toma.
toes" This note, the learned Buz.
fuz tortures into . declaration Of
love; aud changes are sung on every
note in the gamut upon the watch
word and war cry, "chops and toma-
toes" We have q Buzfuz in this
town who, at recent trial, whero
hired man sued for pay for extra
work, sung his changes on trapping
skunks, picking chickens, feeding
turkeys and dressing cod and sal
mon. "Gentleman of the jury"
said he, while assuming Shakespe.
rian attitude" would any of you will.
!;ngly, kowingly, or Of his own free
accord, trap one of those offensive es-
sence peddlars? I well know you
wouldn't. 1t has been insinuate ted
that this plaintiff trapped the skunks
to obtain their oil for cure for the
rheumatism. Gentlemen | scorn the
base insinuation, No, gentlemen l
can see from your countenances, that
not one of you would trap skunk to
please Rutherford b. Hayes, or the
the Duke Of York. And as for the
rheumatism, every man on that jury
knows that he places more faith in
Perry Davis pain killer than in all
the skunk grease in this Territory"
"And gentlemen of the jvry," con.
tinued the learned Buzfuz," having
thus disposed of the skunk question
to your entire satisfaction, / will re.
view the other allegations of the
plaintiff, particularly the feeding of
two turkeys, picking eleven chickens,
and taking the intestines from sundry
cod and salmon and two dozen smelts.
Gentlemen, this is menial work, done
only in this town by Chinamen and
squaws. Why should this plaintiff
be subject to the humilating duty OF
cleaning fish and picking poultry.
which he did for a whole year, every
day and every hour of the day. What
the defendant did with such a vast
amount of provender; is not for me
to say. ! leave that question to his
own conscience. / simply say that
the plaintiff performed the duty Of
extra service and he asks you to say
what that service was WORTH"
Buzfuz having concluded, the case
was given to the jury, who after con.
sulting about 6ve minutes, returned
a verdict throwing the case out OF
court, as frivolous, malicious and ri
diculous. The plaintiff had to pay
the costs, and the learned Buzfuz
took for his fee, sundry pots OF
skunk grease wherewith to timber up
his stiffened joints.

\ correspondent of newspaper

A correspondent of new spaper
on the Sound who has recently been
on trip up the Columbia river, esti-
mates the income of the 0. S. N.
company as enormous, and greatly in
excess Of what people at distance
have an idea. For instance, their
whole expenses do not probably ex-
ceed $4,000 a week, while their
present revenue from grain alone is
not less than $4,000. In addition
to this magnificent sum are probably
$4,000 week from passengers,
mails and express, and as much for
up river freightS, and for cargo COM
ing down other than grain. In the
way of profits, and to enable them to
keep up their boats, the gentleman
referred TO thinks the company to be
making not less than $4,000 q week
between Portland and points on the
Upper G olumbis and Snake Rivers.

ANOTHER JACK SLADE.
Audacious Murder in Oregon


Henry L. Sutton, a desperate charac-
ter and well known saloon keeper in
Port Townsend, w. T., committed a
desperate murder at that place last Fri
day afternoon, which, for the cool and
deliberate malice with which it was
executed has few parallels. 1t seems
that he had a misunderstanding with
Captain Charles Howard, a citizen of
the same place, about dog, and seeing
the Captain passing his saloon he invit-
ed him to enter. The request was re-
fused, whereupon Sutton re-entered his
den, and procuring loaded revolver
returned and deliberately fired at
Howard, shooting him in the stomach.
His vengeance was now satisfied, and
his attention was turned to the best
means of effecting his escape. He
marched back into the saloon, took all
the money he could collect, reloaded his
revolver, and grasping a Henry rife
and shotgun threatened to kill any
one who dared oppose his progress.
Leisurely proceeding to a wharf he got
into a sailboat moored in the river, and
spreading the canvas to the breeze
calmly pointed his vessel toward British
soil. En- route he met the steamer Fay
orite, and telling the Captain he was in
pursuit of one who had committed large
robbery he asked to be taken to Victor

A Big Swindle by q Lady. j..

The recent mysterious report from
Louisville. KY, that lady, occupying
a high social position and has been de-
tected in large forgeries, is confirmed
and explained by dispatch from that
city that Mrs. T. T. Hawkins has,
within the past few years, obtained
$4,000 from her mother on the pre-
tense that she was engaged in tobacco
speculations, claiming that Senator
Stevenson, George H. Pendleton, Col
onel Taylor and others were in partner
ship with her. The gentlemen named
deny any business relations with her,
and the story, so far as they are con-
cerned, is utterly devoid of truth. The
lady made attempts to secure cash on
notes, but failed, they being forged
with Taylor's name. Her relatives
pronounce Mrs. Hawkins deranged.
The affair has caused considerable ex-
citement.

by Indians between Fort Laramie and
Custer City on or about the ninth day
of May, A. d. 1876, which letters bear

10. The captain could not comply, but
took him as far as Dungeness, and as
the steamer was passing out Of sight
the murderer was seen sailing out in
the Straits of Fuca, with the expecta-
ton, it is supposed, of meeting with a
vessel bound for some foreign port. SUIT
ton is noted desparado, and has been
concerned in many crimes of similar
character. When very young he shot
a man in Massachusetts,, and effecting
his escape to California was concerned
in another shooting affray. He
was at one time editorially
connected withIthe Register and Messen-
ger, two newspapers formerly publish
ed at Port Townsend, but now dead. In
1872 he was accessory to murder COM
mtited by Jack Quale, alias "Poker
jack" prominent gambler on the
Sound, who was himself subsequently
killed. 1t is almost incredible that a
man guilty of so horrible a crime
could escape in broad daylight,
in the presence of large num-
Der of persons who were
attracted by the shooting. The only
assigned reaon is that they were paral-
yZed by this audacity.

FINE BEEF.-A few years since the peo-
pie of Walla Walla all through, the summer,
fall and early winter enjoyed the luxury Of
fine beef, but when it came too late IN the
winter and early spring the beef was poor
an4 in very many instances Rad the appear
ance OF having died Of starvation. This was
owing 10 the neglect Of feeding. and when
the winter was at all hard, the cattle as
matter OF course were on the verge Of s'aTVa-
tiun. OF late years there has been material
improvement, in this respect, and now the
beef in our market looks az well in mid-win-
ter ss at any other period in the year. This
change was brought about by Messrs. Dooley
& Kirkmau, of the " Pioneer Murke-, " who
from the very first adopted the plan of feed
ing thei- cattle all through the winter, and
in ihEt way keep them in good condition.
Daring this winter these gentlemen have fed
at the rate Of two tons Of hay day, and as
result the c"5'le killed by them are in good
condition, aud They are at all times prepared
TO supply customers with fine, incy steaks
and the very b-' r0asts. In this regard
Messrs. DJoley & Klrkmsn have brought
about an improvement for which 'h,Y are

that part Of the territory offers TO immigrants.

ing to work in the coal mines for moderate
wages, that Is the country to go to, but for
small farmers-mer who wish to take up
their quarter section Of land aud make them
selves homes. it is the last country in the
world. To induce this latter class to go to
the Sound is a gross imposition, and is only
calculated to bring odium upon the country.

the bread to feed It's own inhabitants. Let
