Mrs. DUNF1E1D, the victim Of

Mrs. DUNF1ELD, the victim Of
last weeks tragedy, seems to be re-
covering quite rapidly. Yesterday
those in attendance on her discover
ed some severe bruises on the back
of her head, as though made with
the corner or back of an ak. The
supposition is that the arm that
dealt the blow was too much weak
ened to give fatal stroke.
THE WEATHER.-As our paper
goes to press there are atmos-
pherc precursors of rain. We
give no credence to the report
that some of the immigrants from
Oregon suffered by the cracking
of their webs in consequence of
the extraordinary drouth which
lasted over an hour to-day.

Chehalfs Correspondence.
CHEHALIs COUNTY. Dec. st, 1871.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE DIsPATcA;
In this country OF bad roads and
no bridges, we have very little news
that would interest the outside world
As we have no doctors there is no
sickness to write about; as there are
no lawyers, the justice of the peace
has to live upon honor rather than
the fees of his Office.
The storm of last week left us in
as good condition as it found US.
Some of the streams were quite high
but confined their wrath to their own
banks.
The first shipment of canned sal
mon $3.50, coo worth was made from
Gray's Harbor this week.
Kansas is sending good many of
her grasshopper victims among us.
They seem to be well pleased with
the country, and have but little
trouble in finding land upon which
to locate homestead. Those, how
ever, who expect to find vacant land
with dwelling house, barn. orchard,
ETC., combined, are somewhat disap-
pointed, as those chances are all
taken.
I notice that good many of our
dairymen are sending their butter
to Seattle for market. They say
they can get from Z to 10 cents per
pound, more for it there than they
can in Olympia.
When the Olympia and Tenino
Railroad is extended to Gray's Har-
Dor it will be quite convenient to
send our produce to Tenino, and
from there to Tacoma, by the N. P.
R. R., thence to Seattle by steam
boat. ALKI.

Lewis Fully Identified.

Last evening the EVENING DIS
PATCH was thrown into Justice
SCOTS Office, and a man picked it
up and commenced reading the ac-
count of the arrest of man sup
posed to be Sewer Lewis. After
he had read q few lines an old gen.
tleman named O. Fl. Mitchell, who
had sat by the stove listening,
jumped up and remarked, That
man is Sewer Lewis" He then,
without waiting to hear the remain
der Of the article, went to Sheriff
Wyckof and said be could identify
Lewis. This morning he was taken
to the cell where Lewis is confined,
and at once identified him, although
Lewis denied ever having seen
Mitchell. At this Mitchell went out
and found other men who had
known Lewis when he resided near
Eugene City, Oregon, and brought
them to the prisoner. They identi-
fed him as readily as did Mitchell,
but Lewis still denied his identity.
Still other persons can be found in
this city who have known Lewis in
Oregon, but the sheriff is fully salts
fed that the prisoner is Sewer
Lewis.
Mitchell says his wife and Lewis
wife are COUSINS, and that in March,
1862, Lewis lived with him on his
farm near Eugene City, continuing
with him until his conduct was such
that his presence was a constant
source of annoyance and fear. He
had seduced.a number of young and
innocent girls among his relatives,
and for these and other crimes he
was the dread of the neighborhood
in which he lived. At last it be-
came known that Lewis had seduced
his own daughter, a young girl, and
so much was he feared that his own
wife and sons, though knowing the
fact, dare not interfere to protect
their daughter and sister. At last
brother of Lewis took the daugh-
ter to her grandfather's home, in
Coos county, as the means OF saving
her from her father. But the brute
would not yield to this interference
without resenting it; so he armed
himself with two revolvers and
shotgun, and followed his brother
to the home Of their father, where
this cold blooded murderer went
into the field where his brother was
blowing, and shot him dead in the
presence of his father, then fled.
As Mr.. Mitchell expressed it, he
could spend whole day in narrat
ing the evil dolngs of this villain.
Among his victims are some young
ladies still residing near Eugene
City, aud as the circumstances may
not be generally known, we refrain
from giving them publicity. Those
who have identified the prisoner are
very pronounced in their hopes that
he will receive the just reward for
his crimes. Mr.. Mitchell says he is
well satisfied that Lewis will kill
him if he regains his liberty. The
prisoner will be taken to Coos
county as soon as an officer arrives
| to take HIM in custody.

GIFTs.--In casting about for holi-
day gifts one wants to select some
lasting token. Many very suitable
articles can be selected from the
new and fashionable patterns of sill
yer and plated ware at L. P. Smith
& Sons. Their stock includes nap
kin rings, children's sets, in bog es,
mugs, toilet sets, pickle stands, card
receivers, cake baskets, butter dish
es, and other novelties.
The samples OF dried fruits placed
on exhibition at the Occidental Ho-
tel by Mr.. Plummer are attracting
considerable attention. A number
of orders for dryers have already
been taken. With the collection are
shown one bronze, (centcnnial one
silver, and two gold medals awarded
the process. The gold medals weigh
$50 each.
The pretty dolls at r. G. Graves
will please the little folks, and the
choice notices received per Dakota
are most beautiful parlor orna-
ments. Almost anything desired can
be found there in the line of choice
chromos, picture frames, brackets,
etc. For further particulars see the
new advertisement.
OWING to the gravel which to a
large extent enters the soils on our
uplands, there is but little mud on
the roads in the county, expect on
river bottoms and where the roads
cross swamps, notwithstanding the
recent continued rains.

Notes OF Travel.
SEATTLE, Dec. 10th, 1877.
To THE EDITOR OF THE DISPATCH:
Having seen some parts of King
county recently, parts not visited
before for 8 years, perhaps few
words concerning those parts may
be ofinterest to your readers. From
Seattle to Renton we travelled by
rail, reaching the latter place after
very pleasant trip of about one
hours time; in the years gone by we
had travelled over the same route and
thought ourselves lucky in being
able to reach the place where Rem
ton (then a wild wilderness) now
stand in half 4 day of hard and un-
pleasant travel. From Renton of
to the south and up through the
White river valley as far as the
mouth Of Green river, and beyond
lay our route, but, having left the
railroad at Renton, our journey
thence on was not one of the most
pleasant, as We travelled by natural
conveyance, which was much retard-
ed on account of the muddy condi-
ton of the road. All along the route
travelled from the time we left Seattle
until our return on Saturday even
ing We could but remark the evi-
dence of thrift and prosperity to be
met with upon every hand; as well
as the great impro vement made by
the settlers in the land cleared and
the buildings erected upon their
claims, now more properly called
farms. No doubt but these indus-
trious farmers often grow weary and
many times think they are accom-
plishing but little, as the changes
they have wrought and are still work
ing out little at time, are the re
suit of patient days of labor and
toll and that they themselves can
scarcely perceive them, but to one
who has not for years visited the home
Of our country neighbors, the great
changes which have been brought
about seem truly wonderful indeed.
Where once grew but the thorn and
the thistle, now blossoms the rose
and the honeysuckle; and where,
in years gone by, was to be found
the Indians hut, odor tainted, now
stand the cosy cottage of the early
pioneer, who may here, under his
own "yine and fig tree" pass the
declining years of well spent life,
surrounded by all that goes to make
life enjoyable. W.
