ACCOUNT OF Murder OF MR..
WIN. q. LANG.

Aithough our readers have undoubt-
edly seen newspaper notices of this
sad asrlir, yet an account frem the
father Of the young man will have the
additional interest Of reliability, espec-
tally rs both father and son had be-
come welcome visitors among US. The
busine ability and manly bearing of
the young man had made him many
friends in Oregon.
Since his last visit. here he had en-
tered into business for himself select
ing range and new home in New
Mexico, near the Mexican border. The
annoyances to which he had been sub
jected by the lawlessness of the Next
can half-breeds, who deem plumber
legitimate right, "a characteristic of
that nondescript race, had determined
Mr.. Lang to remove his cattle to
more secure locality. In pursuance of
this plan, and assisted by five men, he
had struck camp and removed eight
miles on his route. just at daylight
on the second day, the 18th of August
1881, his camp was attacked and he
and four men were murdered in their
blankets while asleep. One young
man, Mr.. William Byers, was shot at
tho first discharge, but succeeded in
crawling into the tall grass near the
camp, from which he witnessed the
murderers Of his companions strip their
bodies Of all clothing, and rob the
camp of bedding, arms, money, and
even the rings from the fingers of the
dead men. The young man, Byers,
who had escaped deeth at the first at
tack, says that he thought by remov-
ing his clothing and feigning death, he
night save life if found. This ruse
was successful, as they did not ap-
rroach him near enough to fire, upon
him with certainty; but having gath
cred up his clothes, one of them took
his revolver, and evidently to try it,
discharged its chambers at his mixed
body--singularly, without hitting hin.
He thus escaped with his life to toll
his story.
George w. Lang, who was 90 miles
distant, when appraised of the tragedy
immediately organized gang, and
started upon the trail Of the marderers
Who realized too well the vengence of
= father and friends of the murdered
men, if found; and separating, they
fled across the border, eluding all pur-
suit. The robbers did not attempt to
take the cattle as they could not be
driven away, and having American
marks might lead toreprisal and posi-
bly, to detection.
This dastardly act lacks only scalp
ing to be ranked with Indian warfare
in its worst features. Why should not

Pacific management. 1t was this
pledge that caused the people to ac-
quiesce quietly in the transfer. Itwa
this that prevented the government
from interfering and forcing the CON-
pany to build o. forfeit their or mt.
Now what do we find Mr.. Willard
saying! Virtually, that the Cas-
cade branch will not be built for five or
eight years hence, because he thinks
it will not pay the company to build
it, when he knows the land grant
along the line will more than build the
road, and that is already pledged to
them Wy the government so soon as the
road is built; and they still demand
that the government shall hold this
land in reserve from presumption and
homestead settlement, till such time as
they get ready to build. Mr.. Willard
cannot claim that the surveys are not
fully made; he cannot act in good
faith and stop them to protect him un-
der his promise to bnild so soon as
they are made. Such subtilty will
not work in law or equity. We care
not what other journals do in the way
of lauding Mr.. Willard for his wisdom
and sagacity in his plans, and we no
tice that very many of our exchanges
are filed with his praises, many of
which are, no doubt justly due, yet
without seeking any subterfuge or pre-
text for arraying Mr.. Willard, we
frankly and boldly say that Mr.. Vii
lard's speech at Tacoma, if correctly
reported, was an insult to the intelli-
gence of the people Of the Scund, as
well as to tho people of the whole Of
Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho, and declared violation of his
pledge made to Billings, when he in
duced Billings to sell out to him, and
an intimatee defiance to the govern
ment wl,ieA sexacts the early building
of the Cascade branch. Mr. Willard,
durinEhis visit upon the coast this
Fall has made many other promises to
the people, some of which he may full,
gil. AT any rate, they seem to have
set some Of our contemporaries wild
with hope and expectation. We
would be we'll pleased to see all these
promises fulfilled in good faith. But
from the history of Mr.. Willard in this
Northern Pacific transaction, we can
not feel the degree of security in their
fulfillment upon his promise, that some
others do. 1t is not because Mr.. Vii
lard is q. the head Of millions of CAPT
tai, or because he is shrewd and un.
scrupolous in the use Of that capital
to enrich himself and his allies, that
we would do him honor, but because
that he would keep his pledges and
good faith with the people from whom
he must expect to hereafter. derive his
income from the roads he and his al
lies have projected. We will allude
to some other promises, recently made,
in auotherissue Of the TELLER.
