AN OMISSION.

Gen. Howard, in his book entitled
Nez Perce Joseph, makes mention of
many incidents of that ever to be-

notices many individuals who are now
notorious, but who were then strug-

N. r. r. r. TO BUILD ON NORTH
SIDE OF COLUMBIA.

Yesterday the Oregonidn received =
dispatch from Mr.. I. r. Oakes, vice
president Of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, who is now in New
York, bringing the information that
that company, in view Of the large vol.
ume of business expected on the open
ing Of its through line across the CON
tinent, has decided to construct line
on tho north side Of the Columbia river
from Ainsworth to The Dalles
Work is to commence on this division
at once.
We may suppose that tho road will
cross the Columbia just above the
town Of Dalles and there connec. with
the Q. r. d N. Company'sline, or per
haps it may be continued on the Wash
ington side to some point Of crossing
further down. OF this, however, We
have no positive knowledge. II is
pretty certain, however, from the reso-
luton which the company has taken to
luild down the Columbia that the line
across the Cascade mountains to the
north will not be undertaken yet.
The connection at Walla Walla with
the O. II. L. N. Company's line il
doubtless deemed insufficient for the
business, inasmuch as the roads and
branches Of the latter company, pene
trating so many parts Of Eastern Ore
gon and Washington, will furnish al
the business which the line on thu
south side Of the river can readily car
ry. Hence the Northern Pacific Com
pany will construct this line on the
north side for the easier operation oi
their own through and local lines Ore

THE CASE IN A NUT. SHE'LL.

The ''strangler's" organ, misnamed
the News, in its last issue, talks Of US
in this wise:
"If our neighbor was acquainted
with tho tenor of tho large number Of
letters rejecting on him, and still on
file for future reference, which we
have declined to publish, he would
sing another song.
One of these letters accuses our well
beloved Leland of ''costing Nez Perce
county many thousands Of dollars by
assisting Halter in his frauds"
Another, from Camns Prairie, COM
mences:
"In travelling over Camas Prairie
few years ago, every man you met
carried rope attached TO his saddle;
and when asked what they carried the
rope for, their reply was I've got
this rope to hang that d---d old scoun-
drcl Leland with, il he ever comes
this way"
And still another communication
gives q circumstantial account Of how
our W. b. was twice notified to leave
Lewiston by vigilantes, concluding
| with humorous account OF how our
W. b. was hanged in eiiigy, and how
he explained the matter to an angry
populace in Bunker Il squires' saloon.
Again it says:
"Not one man in a million could
stand up under the load Of sin and
shame that Alonzo LELAND has"
We have stood up under and prob
ably win continue to stand up under
all such loads of sin and shame, and
live to see the day when Aaron and
his ''s.rangling" hackers viii learn that
there is other than mob-law in force,
even here in Idaho. We refer the

man says regarding Mason's shot al

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March Excite
ment among the negroes over the White
murder case has reached fever heat.
Yesterday afternoon about ) o'clock a
searching party came across some newly
thrown up earth. Their suspicious were
aroused, and digging down two and a
half feet they found the long-looked for
body OF .inanias Whites wife. The
news spread with wild.iire velocity
among the negroes OF the city and
great crowd gathered.
The body was carried to an under
takers shop, where jury of inquest
was impanelei and an autopsy made.
The body was fearfully bruised, the
head showing two terrible gashes, and
the breast being beaten to a jelly. Other
parts OF the body bore marks oi brutal
treatment. After examining six or
eight witnesses the jury adjourned till
to-day.
Meantime nearly two thousand ne.
groes, many Of them armed, gathered at
the Jail where White was understood TO
be confined, and at other points large
crowds assembled, discussing the qucs.
ton OF lynching. As soon as the news
OF the finding OF the body reached the
police they placed the Jail under strong

precaution, privately removed White to
the Penitentiary. Violent threats were
made by the crowd. but they seemed to
lack a leader.
Two or three negroes made speeches
urging the crowd to make an assault on
the Jail, but the guards and their guns
presented too formidable a front At
last the authorities put up negro. who,
in q concillatory speech, urged them to
allow the law 10 take its course, and
finally told them that White had been
taken from the Jail and placed beyond
the reach OF the mob.
This excited the negroes all the more.
Believing the Jail authorities were de-
ceiving them, their mutterings and
threats redoubled. At last a rush was
made, and during the melee Isaac John.
son, brother OF the Sheriff, was struck
on the head and badly injured. The
guards presented cooked pistols and
guns and the mob batiled but still DE-
fisnt, fell back. The Jail authorities
finally selected two OF the leaders Of the
mob, and took them through the Jail to
prove that White was not there After
their report had been made the crowd
slowly dispersed.
The Coroner's jury which viewed the
body Of Anauias Whites wife returned
a verdict this afternoon that White killed
