Cattle Frozcn-A Big Pay.ROli-ProbabIe
Wreck

PORTLAND, April Sd.--A gentleman who
arrived here to-day from Lake county reports
that large numbers of cattle that were well
fed during the winter have died from ex-
cessive cold. The cold was so intense that it
produced bleeding of the noses of stock A
large number of aforementioned stock had
to be killed from having their legs frozen by
lying on the ice. In many instances the
hoofs of the animals came off from the effects
of cold. Tie loss of cattle and horses in
that section will exceed one-third, while that
of sheep and hogs must be greater.

expected under the circumstances, and there
is great increase of acreage over any former
years. Seeding for spring crops is well

Serious Accident on the Southern Pacific
Railroad.

COTTON, April 3d-There was a bad
smash-up on the Southern Pacific Railroad
last night, near Cabason station, on the east
side OF the San Gregorio Pass, about twenty
six miles from here. Nineteen cars. loaded
with steel rails, lumber and merchandise
were wrecked and badly damaged. Robert
Huett, the fireman, was quite seriously hurt
by jumping from his engine, and an unknown
tramp, who was stealing a ride in a stage
coach which was loaded on a fiat car, was
killed. His remains were brought to this
place. where Coroner's inquest was held,
but which brought out no facts as to who he
was. AS near as can be learned the accident
was caused by the engine jumping the track,
and the rails being wet, the brakes could not
hold the train.

GENERAL NOTICES.
The reasons why The hair falls on

Whenever the cuticle shrinks from dsease, age, or
other causes it presses hard around the stem of the
hair thereby preventing the coloriug substance and
vital element from passing up from the roots. In
order to foresta this difficulty it becomes necessary
TO apply the ORIENTAL TONIC every morning and
night combining it with vigorous Of the

the cuticle and soften the vesicles. This is soon
attained, and the interrupted communication be-

Tracing Two Mysterious Murders.

WALLULA, April 3d.-From circumstantial
evidence it seems that the recent murder on
the Touchet and the late murder on the Col
vile road were connected. Everything points
that both murders were done by the same
parties. -Four persons-two men and two
women-are known to have stayed at a ranch
on the Touchet. When next heard of only
three were traced, and a murdered man was
found in the Touchet. Then came the last
mystery. Two women, with pink sunbon-
nets, and one man, on the old Colville road,
were travelling north. They returned, with
the excuse that their team had given out. but
there was only one man and woman. They
sold their outfit, and soon after the dead body
of woman was found under similar circum-
stances to the body recently found in the
Touchet River, and a pink sunbonnet was
found near where the body was found. The
man and woman came to Walla Walla, and
took the train to Wallula on the 18th of
March. The parties acted very strangely,
the man anxious, and the woman continually
looking out of the window. The man had
his curls cut off, and dyed his light mustache
They took tickets from Wallula for Portland
under the name of Fox.

ing account of the finding and description Of
the body of the murdered woman, as before
reported: The body was found miles south
east of Big Lake, on the old COlyille road
All her clothes were burned except the bon.
net She was about q years old. finely
formed, very small hands, good teeth, black
hair, high forehead very good features, and
exactly five feet high. She has branded on
her right arm in India ink the following ::
Letters forming figure resembling either a
flower pot with flowers growing, or else a
heart with stem projecting ont of it, with
,, the capitals '' NJ. +. underneath. The name
is an indistinct continuation supposed to he
E. Kerson. She was shot just over the left
ear. The pistol was evidently held very close,
as the sun bonnet was burnt by the powder.
The bonnet is small and made of checkered
stuff. She appears to be of Irish descent,
and evidently country-bred, as she is well
formed and stout, but does not look as if she
had ever performed hard work. Citizens of
the county will offer a reward.

WOrkingmen's Ward Presidents The
sand LOT.

SAN Francisco, April 4th.-At meeting
OF the Ward Presidents to-day, it was re-
ported that the State Executive Committee
had elected four delegates to attend the Ma
tlonal Convention at Chicago next June, and
Congressional District Conventions had been
called to meet May Goth at San Francisco,
Santa Rosa, Sacramento and Los Angeles,
tor the purpose of electing delegates to the
Chicago Convention, to make nominations
for Congress- etc. An animated discussion
followed on the question of indorsing the
Democratic candidates for President and na-
tlonal officers. The report was referred to
the Clubs. A resolution was adopted to ap-
point committee to collect from all election
precincts information regarding the intimida-
ton OF voters during the recent election
through difference in the color of the
ballots, and that steps be taken to prevent
Issuance of certificates of election to the free
holders and joint Senator until the Supreme
Court shall have rendered decision as to
whether the difference in the ballot paper
constituted an entertainment on the secrecy
of the ballot
At the sand lot to-day resolution was
adopted to the effect that the recent defeat of
the w. Z. c. taught them to live up to their
former pledges not to affiliate with either the
Democratic or Republican parties. The diff
ference in the color of the ballot paper and
the placing of persons at the polls to spy upon
voters was denounced as a fraud and a
swlndle, and violation of the secrecy of the
ballot. kearney was not present, being still
confined to his bed, though his condition is
