O'ROurke's Find.

Commissioner.

The new district recently discov-
cred by Phil. O'Rourke is now def
nitely known TO be located about 25
miles southwest Of Murray, and five
Tof>slx miles east Of Kingston, not
oYe0thFee miles from the old Mullan
road. j. c. Davenport, a member
Of the Dream Gulch company, who
paid visit to the locality last week,
informed a Sun reporter on Satur-
day that 1t was destined to play an
important part in the mining annals
Of the county. The country, he
states, is quite open and the lodges
crop out boldly. They have been
traced for several miles toward the
Niger Prairie region and are be-
lleved to be a part Of the same belt.
The ledge which Phil. O'ROurke
claims as the discovery is IS feet
wide Of solid galena and crops out
far above the surface. The veins lie
parallel to each other and are nu-
merous enough to lead to the belief
that Niger Prairie may be over
shadowed in the near future. The
assays of'the ore made by H. G. Lou
gee, Of Murray, give a return Of $40
in silver and 20 per cent. lead. In
view Of the close proximity of the
district to a good road, and a ship
ping point, gives It immediate value
and importance. A trail has been
made by Tom. Irwin from his place,
on what Is known as Jackass Prairie,
to the mines. A store is to be estab-
lished there without delay and 1t is
quite probable townsite will be laid
out Everybody who visits the new
camp brings away a good impression
Of its magnitude, and it is expected
to create no little excitement next
spring, 1t being too late to do any
thing this fall except prospect.

Rumors have been in circulation
for some time to the effect that II
scheme was on fogs for the organiza-
tlon OF n new banking house in this
city. The movement took tangible
shape Wednesday evening by the
meeting Of the stockholders and the
election Of board OF directors. The
following IA a list Of the board, as
chosen, f. J. Brlckell, d. NJ. Drum
heller. NJ. NJ. Cowley, r. W. Forrest,
Simon OppenheiTner Besides the
board, the following named gentle
men hold stock In the Institution: ].
Hoover, F. A. Belts, Peter Deuber,
Ben. Seheellne, S. J. Holland, Dell
Lashler, and G. Palmtag. The new
bank will be known as the Traders
National Bank, with capital stock
Of $4,000, with the privilege Of In
creasing the stock to 100000. The
stockholders are undecided as to
quarters. They may occupya room
Temporarily, but The aim in the end
Is to builda brick In keeping with
the importance Of the enterprise.
We believe the Traders' National
Bank win be a valuable acquisition
TO our city, aud that the enterprise,
from a business point Of view, will
be proftnble investment for the
shareholders. The projectors Of the
bank are all well known citizens Of
this place, and are MEN Of aeknowl-
edged business integrity with plenty
Of backing 10 carry out any business
venture they may undertake. All
the necessary arrangements have
been made for the bank to commence
business. II the directors decide
upon renting for the present, the
bank will probably throw Its doors
open IN a very short time. We will
be able in a day or two TO report the
decision Of the directors IN this mat
fer.

The Wallula Murder.


Subsequent developments go to
show that the Wallula homicide was
a wantOn piece Of killing. 1t ap-
pears that Close, the prisoner, was
sleeping on a sand dune about one
hundred and trirty yards from the
river, where his partner, Gus Benoit,
was sleeping In a scow. Both Indl-
ans were riding a small cayuse, and
coming up to Close found him asleep
and drunk, and by his side was a
partially filled flask OF whiskey,
which the Indians began to dispose
OF in short order. Close awakened
and began quarreling with the Indi-
ans. One Of them drew his hand
across his throat, saying that they
would fix him that way. Close, be-
coming excited, got up and ran to
the river where his partner was
sleeping and borrowed a Winchester
repeating rife, retracing his foot
steps to within thirty yards of his
sleeping place. Concealing himself
in a thick growth of underbrush, he
took a dead rest and commenced
pumping lead into the Slwashes. 1t
is evident, from the position Of the
Indians, that they were seated on
the blanket drinking the whiskey as
out of nine shots fired, seven were
shot in the back of the I9dtlRs, an-
other cutting through the hand and
another entering the side of the In
dian. In his testimony Close said
one of the Indians was coming fol
him when he shot and that both Of
them were armed with large knives.
The only weapon found on the In
dians was a small penkife and that
was lying thirty feet from where
they fell. When shot the Indians
had hold Of their horse with a hair
rope and in falling from their sitting
posture both bodies fell across the
ropes, holding the cayuse fast where
he was found by the officers some
time after. Close was brought to
this city on Monday morning and
confined in the county Jail. He re-
fuses to say anything further re-
garling the shooting. His examin-
alton will take place to-day before
Judge Lambert, II the witnesses ar
rive from Wallula.

Chris. Wendell, a specimen of the
genus tramp and a hard nut on gen.
eral principles, was led up before
Judge Weed Thursday charged with
grand larceny, and that dispenser
Of punishment to the wicked very
wisely sOcked it to him by holding
Wendell under $500 bail, and in de-
fault Of the collateral or friendly
backing, sent the prisoner below to
answer In person to a higher tribu-
nal. 1t seems that Wednesday after
noon the prisoner happened to be in
the vicinity Of the Catholic college,
where Frank johnson, the architect
and builder Of the new Catholic
church, was at work. While hang
ing about that stately piece Of ma
sonry Wendell espied Mr.. Johnson's
vest lying near and seeing what ap-
peared to bea valuable chain attach
ed thereto, the cupidity OF the stran-
ger was aroused and he picked up
the chain, not forgetting the gold
watch at the other end, and decamp-
ed. Pretty soon Mr.. ,hnsOn missed
the property, which was without
price in his estimation, it being a
present, and he at once came to the
city and informed the marshal Of the
robbery. Glispin soon got track Of
the watch, the fellow having traded
it to a stranger for So cash and a sill
yer watch. The officer found Wen
dell and recovered the watch and
money. 1t seems that the fellow
had attempted to trade off the watch
to others who were suspicious and
would not bite at the tempting Of
fers. Mr.. johnson is mighty glad to
recover the trinkets. Tho watch
chain and a gold charm were pre-
sented to him while he was in the
government employ at Fort SpO-
kane. On the inside Of the back
case is the following inscription:
presented to our foreman, Mr..
Frank johnson, as birthday pres
ent, by the carpenters at Fort Spo-
kane, June 5, 1888" The recovery
Of the stolen goods created a pleas
ant feeling all around. Mr.. johnson
was happy at recovering his watch
and attachments, valued at one hun
dred and fifty-fiue dollars, the snide
who traded for the property was
brimming over with joy at the re-
turn of his silver watch a d the S5,
and the marshal felt good at being
able to get such a hard case out Of
the way.

Few Of our people who do not
move out and around the city are at
all aware Of the vast amount Of mon
ey that is being spent in improve
ments. While there has been some
public buildings erected this season,
the greater part Of the coin that has
been put in buildings has been dis
tributed about the resident portion
Of the city. In no direction can one
stroll without having optical proof Of
the growth Of the place in this re-
spect, and the new work is, In every
case, Of the superior class Like all
past seasons many have waited until
the wrong end Of the year to build,
and hence there is lively hammer
ing away just now among carpenters
and contractors. While, as above
stated, no part Of the city has been
slighted in the distribution Of archi-
tectural favors, yet the most decided
additions have been made south Of
the railroad track. That line cuts off
a large scope of building country
from the business centre. There are
large number Of houses In that
quarter in various stages Of compile
tion, which will greatly add to the
handsome appearance Of our already
beautiful little city. Among others
who have invested in building this
year is Mr.. @. B. Dennis, who will
be a material assistance in increasing
the number Of first-class residences
in the place. He has built fOunda-
tion this summer fora residence that
bids fair to eclipse, in exterior show
and interior finish, anything in the
building line heretofore attempted
among us. This structure will not
be completed until next spring. In
order to keep his hand in, Mr.. Den
mis- is not idle, in the meantime,
having contracted for the erection Of
two twO-story dwellings on Howard
street, Just east OF the school house,
to be finished before winter. The
frame work of one Of them is up
now, and it promises to make a very
attractive home. This example will
he followed by others, perhaps not
this fall, on account Of the lateness
Of the season, but surely by spring,
and we feel confident that next year
will see large and wonderful in
crease in the city, surprising all for
mer years in the extent and value Of
u public and private improvements.

Our officers have decided upon
making an effort to suppress opium
smoking in this city, and the white
man or Chinaman who hits the pipe
in the future will have much Of the
pleasure destroyed by the fear Of be.
ing snatehed in the act. Wednesday
night Marshal Glispin and Officer
R1sk made a raid in Chinatown and
captured three Celestials in the act
Of pulling consolationQthrou an
opium pipe and the two were ar
rainged before Judge Weed to-day.

There Is a large per cent. Of our
population that enjoysathletlc sports
of every description and the mere
mention Of contest Of skill, strength
or fieetness Of foot will have the ef-
feet Of drawing heavily upon the
male portion Of the community.
The announcement that there would
be several foot races on Post street
Thursday afternoon attracted the
regulation crowd, the sympathy Of
which WIS enlisted on one side or the
other. The running was set for 4
o'clock, but It was nearer 8 before
the sport began. The greatest in
terest centered in the contest be-
tween c. A. Absolom and Howard
Loomis, the former to- run 40 yards
backward while the latter was max
ing so yards forward. The runners
got away In good shape, Absolom
making remarkable fast time back
ward, but Loomis, who is a very
fleet-fooled short distance runner,
crossed the string three feet in the
lead. This race was followed by an
other 80 yards spin between Jack
Voethe and Frank C. Lavlnge,
runner recently from the east. La
vinge won easily. The last race was
between Lavlnge and Johnny Seng-
fielder, the former giving the latter
ten feet start in so yards. Johnny
was a great favorlte and no one
could be found who would take any
bets on the result Johnny waltzed
under the string a long winner.
This closed the sports and as the
running was all on the square the
crowd was well pleased.

DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or impTudencc in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement Of the liver, kidncys, and
stomach, in which the disorder Of each
organ increases the intirmity Of the others.
Tho immediate results arc Loss Of Appe.
tite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness. Sick Headaches, failure
Of physical and mental ylgor. distressing
sense OF weight and fulness in the stomach,
and increased Costivencss, all OF which are
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
Inevery instance where this disease docs
not originate from scrofulous tnint IN the
blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently
relied upon TO effect a cure. Those eases
not amenable to the curative influence Of
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield IL
the PILLS are aided by the powerful blood
purifying properties Of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA.
Dyspeptics should know that the longer
treatment Of their malady Is postponed,
the more difficult Of cure 1t becomes.
