TIE SUNDAY EXCURSION from Portland
on the ). r. Church, to the Cascades, was a
success SO far as numbers were concerned,
but it was a motley crowd OF good, bad, and
Indifferent About twenty of them remained
in Vancouver, instead OF going to the Cas-
cades, and rs many more from this town
went up in their place. No accidents occur
red ON the trip.

Last Sunday H. II. Brodeck, with his
wife, baby, and seven year old boy, were
taken by Mr.. Henry Christ out to his farm,
where Mr.. Brodeck took some views of the
farm and residence. On their return III the
afternoon all went well until the city was
reached, when the spirited horses became
excited by combination of rafting wheels
behind, and noisy dogs and boys in front
upon turning corner, away they went. In
rapid succession the occupants of the wagon
were thrown out to the ground, and after
Mr. Christ was thrown, Mr.. Brodeck grasped
the lines, reined the horses into a fence
stopping the team against a post, the recoil
of the shock sending him flying through the
air at last Mrs. Brodcck, who had the
baby in her arms. was thrown against Il
picket fence, and the force of the fall broke
several of the pickets. She was picked up,
cut, bruised and bleeding, supposed to be
fatally injured, and carried into the residence
of James Crawford, where surgeon was
summoned to her aid. Her head was found
to be very badly cut over the eye, there
being other cuts and serious bruises all over
her person, but no bones broken, and appar-
emily no internal injuries. The babe re-
ceived one bruise only. No other person
was injured, strange to stay. The photo
graphic instruments in the wagon became
total wreck in the affair. Mrs. Brodeck is
very slowly recovering from her wounds,
and will be confined to bed and house for
many days yet.

Mr.. THOMAS STEPHENS, conductor of the
Pacific HOTEL was examined before Justice
Gridley ON Monday, on the charges preferred
by Joseph Burke. Several witnesses were
examined, and the counsel on both sides ably
presented their cases. At the conclusion
Justice Gridley held that the evidence COM
PEELED him to bind Mr. Stephens over to
await the action of the Grand jury at the
next term of the L. ). District Court and
the amount of the bond was fixed at $3.50.
As yet Mr.. stephens has not made out any
bond, and remains i'll durance vile. Under
the head of False Pretcnces, the Portland
Standard of Monday, says;
Thomas stephens, an Englishman, late pro-
pretor of the Pacific Hotel, Vancouver, is in
trouble. 1t came about thusly Thomas
went To Vancouver several months ago and
leased the Pacific Hotel, opened it out in
style, and by keeping up the said style and
the credit of the town, became involved in
debt. His creditors pressed their claims and
Mr.. stephens met them chccrlully, with
checks on the First National Bank of this city.
He diSburScd several hundred dollars in this
way and his creditors were highly gratiicd
until they presented the checks at the bank
counter i'll TINS city, where payment was re
fused, the cashier stating that stephens had
no deposit there, nor any dealings whatever
with that institution. Various complaints
were made out against stephens, and he was
arrested II day or two ago and = now confined
in what is by custom called Jail, in Nancou-
yer. 1t seems that this is not the first little
ccccntricity which the festive Thomas has
been guilty, He was at Astoria last summer
in the hotel business, and on his departure
from that city left sundrV unpaid accounts.
On the Sound, where he went from Astoria,
he contracted several debts which he promptly
discharged with worthless checks. He is

A South Carolina Vendetta.

There are innumerable elements of
romance in American life. The re-
nowned vendetta of Corsica is tame
in comparison with some-of our fam
lily feuds, AS instance the follow
ing lively termination of nine years
feud. The European vendetta was
usually a chronicle of cowardly as
sassination, this South Carolina rem
contre was as dashing bit of daring
as Balaklasa. AS usual, spectators
with bullets in the viscera or through
the lungs, lent their aid in forming n
background to the picture:
COLUMBIA, s. c., August l3.-An
old family feud In Edgefield county
eliminated last evening in the vio-
lent death Of three men, the mortal
wounding of another, and the more
or less mutilation of six others, the
latter of whom belonged to that
large and unfortunate class of inno-
cents known as spectators, who are
always at hand TO catch stray bullets.
The feud had its origin, eight or nine
years ago, in the accidental killing of
q young man named Luther Tony,
at the hands Of Benz. Booth. Tony,
accompanied by some members of
tic Booth f,pnily, went on hostile
visit TO Abram Jones, and in the
course of the quarrel he was shot in
the back and killed.
ToNY's RELATIVES
believed he had been fouly dealt with,
and prosecuted Booth, whom they
succeeded in having convicted of
manslaughter and sent to the poni.
Tertiary for number of years.
There had been bad blood between
the two families ever since, and the
quarrel resulted some time ago In
general fight, which, however, was
not attended by any fatal results.
Both sides have been prepared for
trouble ever since, and went armed
on all occasions. Benz. Booth, his
brother James and his nephew.
TboIaaS met BROKER Tony and sew
eral Of hisEfrfshds in a bar-room in
the village OF Edgeheld last night,
iaand the quarrel was renewed. Pts
tolls were drawn on both sides, and
within few minutes from twenty
to thirty shots were fired. Brooker
Tony was shot once through the
bowels, twice through the chest and
three times in the body and was in
stantly' killed. The wounds were
made by assailants in his rear. Jas.
Booth received shot in the groin
and died within few minutes.
Thos. Booth received shot through
the lungs and was
KILLED INSTANTLY,
and Bsnj4 Booth was, shot twice In
the chest and thigh, and badly beaten
about the head. He Is Inortally
wounded. Mark Tony was shot In
the side and badly wounded; W. L.
Coleman, a friend of the Tonys, was
shot in the abdomen; S. B. Ryan
wounded in the foot, Wade Lott in
the arm and Clarence Zeigler In the
hand. The latter were lookers-on.
One or two others were slightly in
jured. All hepersons engaged were
whites.
BROKER Tony recently killed a
negro U. s. Marshal, Gus Harris, in
the same village, hut few yards
from where he himself fell, for
which ofiense he, was under bonds
for trial mt the time OF his death.
He Is said also to have killed another
negro several years ago. The partic-
ipants In the bloody fight last even
ing were all grown-up men of the
lower class sof iaFmeEs, whose pas
sions had boon stirred profoundly by
