A Wallula Washington Territory dis
patch says three woodchoppers arrived
there last night, and report having met
the Sheriff Of Yakima county, with q COM
pany Of t~hirty-ive whites and fifteen
friendly Indians, last Saturday night, near
Priests rapids, on the Columbia river,
who had been to Chief Moses camp for the
murderers OF the Perkins family. Al
though Moses had promised to aid the
Sheriff in capturing the murderers, he met
the Sheriff and his party with his whole
band Of well-armed warriors, in war paint
and most hostile demonstrations. The
Sheriff retreated from Moses stronghold,
and was apparently trying to evade pursuit
when seen. He told these men to get to
some settlement as soon as possible, and
send him aid. One Of the men claims to
have seen the renegade Chieftain smohalla
at Priests rapids. Friendly Indians have
been warming the woodchoppers in the
vicinity of Priests rapids for some time
to leave.
The trial Of ]. C. Duncan was going on
to-day in the Municipal Court, Eugene
Cssserly being on the stand. The exami-
nation was devoted mainly TO the question
as to whether certificate No. 433 of the
Safe Deposit Company's stock, on which
the action is based. was signed by the wit
ness and the amount subsequently raised,
or whether the signature itself was q
forgery. The witness inclined to the for
mer view Of the question.
Tong Sing aud All Cam, who keep a
p~awnbroker's shop on Jackson street, were
arrested to-day on charges Of petty lar
ceny. They have beef buying up poil-tax
receipts from Cinnamon and selling them

with q view to avoid the p%oli-tax law.
Charges Of robbery and threats to kill
preferred by Mary e. Kelly and Rob
ert Kelly against M. L. Mcdonald were
dismissed in the Police Court to-day, the
evidence failing to show any threats, and
indicated that battery was committed in
self-defepce. There was also q slight sug-
gestion that charges had been preferred by
the prosecuting witnesses from improper
motives.
