Cloud Rurts in the East.

A special dispatch to the Standard
from Denver, une lst says: A cattle
roundup camp on Frenchman creek,
near the Nebraska and Colorado line,
was destroyed by flood Thursday
Eleven COW boys belonging to the Col
orado and Nebraska outfits were
drowned. The flood was caused by a
cloud burst, which occurred in a small
Flathcad and Cheyenne Indian trail
canyon, the water coming with such
force that it swept everything in it's
path. Men, horses, wagons and camp
ing outfits, all we've carried down the
stream with such force that but few
escaped. The names Of the missing are
Lon Wethcrbee, j. Lindsey, Robert
RoddY, Robert Fowler, Patrick Lynch,
John Smith, l.. Netherton, William
Ferguson, William J. Pclton and G..
Hail. The bodies of the last four have
been recovered.
A cloud burst near Visalia, Ca4ifor-
MIA, on the lst fell with such violence
as to sweep away the dwelling Of Peter
Stewart and all the inmates, consisting
of Mr.. Stewart, his wife, mother and
two children and r. Weisner. The
bodies Of Stewart, his mother and one
child were recovered the same dav.
They were frightfully mangled and
their clothes were torn in shreds
Weisner was the only one to escape
and he was injured beyond hope of re
covery. He says when he heard the
roar Of the flood be grasped one of the
children in hopes of saving it. AS
they we've being swept down III the tor
rent of waters lie caught hold of lem

til the torrent had expended It's fury,
but the force of water was too great,

house was washed to atoms.

Fraudulent Tickets.

Z. G.. Hursh of the Plaindealer,
printed and extensively circulated and
had posted throughout the county the
morning Of the election, a circular
warning the people against fraudulent
tickets, which he signed officially as
chairman Of the Republican county
central committee. On the day Of
the election ticket with the Republi-
ciln senators and representatives and
le Democratic county ticket printed
upon it, was extensively circulated at
the various voting places throughout
TIE county aud to some considerable
e'itent voted, as the ballots returned
will show. This is the only fraud in
the circulation Of tickets that we know
Of Now, Mr.. Hursh, chairman Of the
Republican county central committee,
please stand up and tell the good peo-
pie of this county whether these tick
cts were or were not printed IN your
office, with your knowledge and full
consent, and whether the circular you
had posted was not intended to throw
tie oJium of your action on The Dem
ecratic candidates whose names were
on this ticket, as an electionrering
dodge7 Was not this ticket printed by
you at the instigation of a prominent
Republican politician, with the two
fold object of getting these tickets
voted, in order to save She Republican
representatives and to be used as an
electioneering dodge against Demo
cratic candidates and WAS not this fact
known to ycu at the time you had the
circulars printedl Please come out and

0bscurity in Art.

Obscuritv, which is merely an aztec

quality of high art in painting and po-

the falseconception:

"No, it is a dull, cloudy evening"

We would like if persons would be
kind enough to give Us rest There
is no sense in this gable about fraud
and corruption in election, bnying, sell
Ing and stealing unless the parties thus
complaining produce some testimony.
Grave wrong has sometimes been done
by the idle talk of idle men. People
unfortunately are willing and prone to
believe every Thing that is bad. Evil
to him who thinks evil ought to be en-
forced with pains and penalties. It
should be kept in memory that one of
the editorial staff of this paper has in
advance of the event volunteered to
prosecute any man who directly or in
any wise purchases or sells vote.
Tits right of suffrage is greater than
any other we may have 1t is to be
used for the conservation of the inter
ests of futurity. Therefore he who
aggresses upon this grand principle
should be punished and that most Sc
verely. Therefore We say again, once
and fer all, cease talking, bring in your
afidavits confrmatory of general accu-
sations. There are plenty of lawyers
to prosecute. Business is business. If
any man has bought vote and if any
person--contemptible, miserable wretch,
dog, skunk, but we will not dignity
him sufficient to call him devil, for
he is worse-has sold his vote, then we
say the penitentiary is too good for him,
but as matter of convenience there is
adequate room. We have OIL hand
only dozen afhdavits. The more the
meIrier.

The Election.

/ he election Is over anu We are |
forced to furl our banner. We were |
beaten in this county by a system OF
bribery, fraud and corruption that
would shame the celebrities of Five
Points. The federal ring, the railroad
ring and whisky ring combined to de-
feat our legislative ticket in this coun-
ty, and ~hg-a persistent effort and un-
sepu6ulous use Of money in buying up
and importing loose characters into
this county to vote the Republican
ticket, they have accomplished their
aim.
We have it from the best authority
that young men in the employ of the
railroad company, who are known to
be Democrats, were approached by
their sureriors with request to vote
for the Republican representatives and
when they declined to do so we've, by
orders issued directly from the railroad
Office, ordered upon other than their
regular trains, SO that they were pre-
vented from voting in this county, and
others of their employees who were
willing to do their masters bidding,
were changed upon the trains these
young men were taken from aid al
lowed to remain IN this county, to help
defeat the Democratic Candidates for
senators and representatives. This
unusual interest on the part Of this gi-
gantic monopoly was not in conse-
quence Of the Republican convention
tabling the resolution to regulate
freights and fares The company
knew their men, and as one of their
agents expressed it to US, it was cheap
er for them to defeat Mr.. Owens than
4 freight and fare bill, if he should be
elected. By the defeat of the lesisla-
tive ticket lii this county, the agricul-
tural interests of this part of Oregon
will be left to the mercy Of this soul
less corporation. The rates for trans
| porting their produce to market will
be subject to change, at the caprice OF
the company, or whenever rhe condi-

The convention met on Tuesday.
Prayer was offered by DR.. Frank Bris-

secretary of the committee. Chairman
Sabine, on behalf of the National com.
mittee called the convention to order
and proposed the name of Hon. Powell
CLAYTON of Arkansas for temporary
chairman. H. c. Lodge of Massachu-

temporary chairman. A warm debate
ensued as to the right of the conven-
ton to depart from the established
usage of accepting the nominee Of the
committee as temporary chairman
During the debate Winston of North

National committee had no more force
than a mere recommendation and with
all courtesy as to the committee would
say that he preferred some one else.
He honored Mr. Clayton for having
