DASHED TO DEATH.
Five Persons swept over the Cas-

Portland Netcs. lON.

Portland Necs. l0h.l
The messenger for the United Carriage
and Baggage Company, who arrived yes
terdsy, reports q frightful accident at the
Cascades at 2 O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
A party of five souls, consisting of M.
Hanson, a carpenter, Mr.. Schneider, q
saloon keeper, and his wife and baby, and
John Sitter, another saloon keeper, at
tempted to cross the river a short distance
above the Cascades. The object was to
sail from the north to the south side Of
the Columbia river in order to catch the
train on the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton railroad, which was bound for the
Dalles, where they intended to visit Rob-
inson's circus in the evening. Full OF life
and fun and happy In the anticipation OF
passing a pleasant night at the circus, the
party embarked, hosting their sail and
was soon in the middle of the river, when
the wind suddenly gave out, and not
realizing the awful danger that lay down
the stream, only o short distance, allowed
the boat TO drift towards the rapids. II
was not till their frail craft began to move
with great Bwiftnees, owing to the narrow
ing Of the banks, that they realized their
extreme peril. When they saw that death
was staring them in the face the only pair
OF oars in the boat were put into active
use. and these might have saved them, but
unfortunately an oarlock broke and the
boat shot like IN arrow into the surging
waters. For awhile it kept an even keel,
while the terrified parties shrieked in ter
ror and prayed loudly for preser vation.
Then the boat shot beneath the raging
rapids and five lives disappeared and were
lost in the twinkling of an eve. Where a
few moments before there was a boatload
of happy people, nothing was to be seen
but the angry rapids with the white mists
rising above them, as though the souls
of the dead were ascending heavenward.
The Government lifeboat was manned
and tried to save the unfortunate people.
but their efforts were abortive. The boat
was picked mp in a badly damaged condi-
ton four miles below the Cascades, but no
trace was found Of the bodies of the
drowned. Quite a number of persons have
been swept over these falls in time gone
by, but their remains have never been
found.

men at work in the two principal mines
here. The future OF Taylor never looked

Says the Carson Free Lance: In con-
trast with the palmy days of Aurora, when
she contained eight or ten Thousand inhab-
itants, at the present time all told, the
town does not contain more han rs per-
sops. The Courthouse is locked and
barred. and is fast becoming ancient ruins.
Large brick buildings two stories high are
fastened as tight as if Theoretically sealed
by heavy iron doors closed by day and by
night waiting for AURORA, the Goddess of
morning with her rosy fingers to shed re-
fulgent light into those mining regions.
just now the eastern horizon seems to be
growing bright, and the watch-word al
ready is being passed from lip to lip that
the morning dawneth.
The $19, DOC. 900 which has been taken
from the mines is not forgotten. The
report has gone across the waters and
reached London. An English COM
pany there is now considering the PROPOSE
ton made by Messrs. a.. M. Yerington,
H. G.. Blasdei and George Coulter, and it
is expected will give their final answer by
the 18th Of September next. Just at what
price il il not known, but the owners have
all combined and have offered to sell to
this company the Del Monte, q combine
ton OF ten claims, the Junietta, Humboldt,
New Esmeralds and other mines. The
latest news is to the effect that the COM
psnv will accept the proposition, and that
a large number of men will soon be put to
work.

vsda, and Judge McKinistry, Of Califor-
mia. is said to be looking we'll, Messrs.

W. M. Havenor, who had charge of Ne

last term on the bench, and his name will
no longer appear on the list of available

politically in this county by sentencing a
prisoner whom the Jury recommended to
the mercy Of the Court. to the full extent
allowed by law, and Judge Keeney made
himself so unpopular in Elko county, by
sentencing a middle-aged man, who was
afterwards granted a new trial and 40.

evidence of Beach, who died recently in
