FRANK HAwK.-No one was more
astonished than the senior editor of
this paper. at seeing the name of
Frank Hawk associated with the
robbery of Galliac, who recovered
his stolen money from the thief in
this city, last week. The mistake
occurred in this way: Mr.. Galliac
related the circumstances of the
robbery and recovery of the money
to Mr.. Vergon and Mr. Walsh.
of this city, giving the name, as
they understood him, of Frank
Hawk instead of Frank Erklev.
They in turn repeated the story to
our reporter had never before
heard of either of the parties named
giving, by mistake, the name of
Frank awk-who is well known on
the Sound-for that of Frank Erik

Frank Hawk for the past eight
years, and ever heard an intimation
to his discredlt, did not see the ar

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. -
The Walla Walla Statesman, hereto
fore bitterly opposed to the Consti
tutional Convention, gracefully
comes down as follows: The Ore
qonian has favorable notice of the
constitutional convention now in
session in this city, and says 'the
convention is proceeding with intel
ligence and predence. and is care
fully laying the foundations of a
good constitution This commen-
dation we deem deserved. Since
our return from California, we have
carefully observed the proceedings
of the convention, and thus far we
have seen nothing to which we ex-
cept Many of the propositions as
reported from the committees are
excellent. and if they become part
of the fundamental law of the land
will secure for the people the bene>
fits of good government. The in l.
huences that called the convention
into existence were not such as we
could approve, but the members of
the body seem to have risen above
these influences, and are laboring
faithfully to frame wise and good
constitution.
WHITES FERRY is the name of
young town situated on the mail
route from Walla Walla to Lewis
ton, and six miles from the latter
place. Mr.. D. NJ. White, the town
proprietor, is one of the earliest
pioneers of the Palouse country,
having come here sixteen years ago,
when bnt boy. By his own per-
sonal industry and integrity-the
two principal elements of success in
life-he is now one of the heaviest
taxpayers in Whitman county, is
owner Of beautiful farm and herds
of fine horses and cattle. Mr.. White
being Of a public spirited nature,
has laid out this town site bearing
his own name, which gives promise
Of rapid and permanent growth.
With his own means he has built
grade sixteen feet wide, from his
place to the top OF the hill. and to
the Palouse country, and by his
social and generous qualities has
made large circle Of friends as he
SO we'll deserves. Whites Ferry
having the advantage of a favorable
location and town proprietor such
as described, is destined to a fair
place among the towns of the upper
country. -PaiouSe Gazette.

HORSE THIEVES. Very recently

HORSE THIEvEs.-Very recently
two fine horses were stolen from Mr..
Schafer of East Portland. and until
day or two past his search has
been fruitless. We learn, however.
he has discovered that nest of
horse thieves exist in the Cascade
mountains, and now has hopes of
recovering his property.

INFORMATION WANTED. -

| " AA-~ A>A''
gentleman of this city has re
ceived a letter from Vancouver.
w. r., asking information con
cernng one Thomas Stevens
who now languishes in Jail at
that place, charged with obtain
ing money under false pretens-
es. About two years ago a man
answering to that name paid
this city a visit. He was a per
son of ofprepossessing appearance,
good address, and at once ingra-
tiated himselfinto the good gra-
ces of our people. He drew his
checks on the bank when called
on to settle his bills; negotiated
for the purchase Of stock
of goods from one of our mer-
chants, giving his note in pay
ment, and transacted all manner
of business on u cheek basis
After Developments proved
him 10 be a consummate rascal.
His checks were repudiated by
the bank and his other trapsac-
tions were found to be equally
fraudulent. 1t may be that the
party under arrest at Vancou-
yer is not the same of whom we
make mention, but certainly the
description photographs him to
a dot.
PROFESSOR A. J. Anderson, a
gentleman who has for many
years been prominent IN educa-
tional matters on the coast, took
charge Of our Territorial UNI
versity, at Seattle, a year ago
under very discouraging circum-
stances, and has brought it very
rapidly toward what it should
be, and closes IN firm hopes of
still greater success next year.
In these hopes we all join sin
cerely, for through unwearied
labors he has deserved and won
the good will of everybody. The
School closed with Il large at
tendance, 126 having been en-
rolled during the year.-UMtd-

THAT RoBBERY.-Last night
man, while under the effect of
benzine and bootleg whiskey,
was relieved by an arden, friend
of $50, the latter, under the cir
cumstances, thinking so much
money unsafe in the possession
of an intoxicated person. This

PRoGREssING.-The subscriptions
to the Seattle and Walla Walla rail
road have reached about seventy five
thousand dollars, up to the present
writing. This sum, with two ex-
ceptions, has been subscribed by
citizens who represent but small
portion of the capital of the county,
and it is confidently expected that
when the large property-holders,
bankers and capitalists areapproach-
ed the requisite amount, $500, 900,
will at once be subscribed. This
will leave $4,000 for Yakima county
to contribute; and we are assured
that when King county has per-
formed her part of the contract,
Yakima will Immediately come for
ward with her portion. If such a
thing is possible, the people of va
ikma are more anxious for the road
than the people of King county.
THIS morning an Indian woman,
upon awakening from her slumbers,
discovered that she had been rob
bed of about fifteen dollars. With
that intuition peculiar to her sex,
she at once fastened the theft upon
a person who frequented her place,
and with whom she had had quar-
rel. Upon examination. however,
the money was found in possession
OF another party. ono of her chief
friends and admirers, who to save
arrest disgorged. All parties being
thieves and vagabonds the authori-
ties suffered the affair to rest.

WOULDN'T SrIcK.-Two par lies
appeared before one of our J\s-
tees yesterday, and request\d
the issuance of warrants for tle
arrest Of parties who had DOM
them violence. One case was
for using threatening, the other

The Justice, thinking the mat

THE present year will be known
in history as that of "pour-par-
lers.n Our readers have seen this
word continually croeping out in
our European dispatches devoted
to the Eastern question. Itmeans
informal Diplomats chats. "Chat,"
in the vulgar American parlance,
means s'chin music" And Eye
Gods and little fishesp' what an
amount of it we have had since
England began posturizing against
Russia? There have been Fifty wars
of most momentous consequence to
| mankind which have been ushered
| In without one twentieth part of
the verbiage which we believe, in
the present instance, will not be
attended by war at all. The whole
controversy has been q good deal
on the order of the sham fights in
the negro minstrel combinations,
in which one darkey recedes as the
other advances, and advances as
the other recedes. The tremendous
dlapason of the British Lions roar
has seemed at times to intimidate
the Russian bear. Anon the
Northern Ursa Major has attitude
nized for hug and shown double
bank of teeth and the lion has re-
tired to his lair. When shall we see
an end to this International COM
