A special telegram TO the Walla
Walla Journal gives the following
particulars Of a shooting at Wallula:
WALLULA, W. T., Sept. 27.
This morning at about daybreak,
two Indians were shot and killed by
James Close. l..
At the cOroner's inquest to-day,
James Close being sworn, stated that
the Indians came to his camp when
he was asleep and woke him up and
demanded whisky; he was pulling
on his boots, when one Indian made
signs to the other to cut his throat;
he started to run and call for his
partner and one Indian pursued a
little way and then returned; he
went to where his partner was, took
his Henry rife, returned and COM
menced firing, shooting one twice
and the other five times; then re-
turned to whore his partner was and
then came to town and gave himself
up.
Gus Benott, Closes partner, being
sworn, stated that Close came run.
ming to his bed. about 100 yards dis
tant from where Close slept, saying
that the Indians were trying TO take
his life and asked for his rifle; Gus
told him no, and to get in bed with
him; hut Close took the gun and
went back; soon after returning and
saying that he guessed he had hurt a
couple Of Indians; wanted witness to
come to town with him as heaeslred
to give himself up; witness agreed
and came with him.
One Indians name was Michakia,
the other was son Of Thomas, chief
Of a small band Of renegades on the
Snake river.
After the inquest the bodies were
turned over to Michakia's half broth
er, who has sent for all the surround
ing Indians to come and examine
them.
, Close, upon being questioned as to
whether he was under the influence
Of liquor, said he was not. Upon ex-
animation Of the bodies no weapons
were found except a pocket knife,
which lay about 20 feet from one of
the Indians. A bottle OF whisky was
found under one Of the bodies.
Yesterday evening the same two
Indians demanded whisky from a
teamster who was hauling wheat,
but failed to get IT.
The coroner's jury, consisting Of
ThOS. Perkins, A. NJ. Lowman, John
Lindlay, Gid Cummings, A. J. Nc
Manus and Dan Mckay, returned a
verdict that the deceased came to
their death by gunshot wounds from
a Henry rife In the hands Of James
Close.
Close Is under arrest and will be
takeE to WBlla Wall tomorrow to
have a hearing. NIKA CUMTUX.

There seemed to ba some mlsun-
derstandlnR In regard to the location
Of the electric street lights. Upon
the strength Of information we con-
sidered authentic we stated that
among other places light would be
put up at the depot, We thought 1t
a strange place for a light where the
number is 80 limited, seeing that no
trains come In at night, and have
since learned that this is a mistake.
The lights are all with one exceP-
tion to be placed rs before stated, one
at or near the Post street bridge,
another at the corner OF Front and
Howard, another at the corner Of
Main and Howard, another at the
corner. OF Riverside and Howard,
another at the corner Of Riverside
and Mil, and the last one In doubt,
although the poles are laid at the cor
ner Of Riverside avenue and Post
street. There Is a good deal Of
gloomy territory over which 1t would
be pleasant to see the sixth light
scattered. Some say II would ac-
compllsh the most good at the cor
ner OF Howard and Sprague streets,
while others hold that the elevation
at the railroad crossing on Howard
street Is the correct and proper place
for It. At the latter place the lamp
could do double duty, and be numer-
ously beneficial. On one side 1t could
shoot Its nays down principal thor
oughfare until Its light mingled with
the sister lights nearer the center Of
the business part Of town, while on
the other 1t would dispel the gloom
that exists on that part Of Howard
street for long distance south Of the
track. 1t would be a beacon for the
guidance Of the footsteps Of worthy
burghers who may be belated by busi-
ness or otherwise, and give thickly
settled part Of town a somewhat
cheerful appearance after nightfall.
It would Furthermore illuminate the
railroad track for a long distance
east and west, and last but not least
II would be Of great advantage by
giving abundance Of light around.
the hose house located In that vicin-
lty. or course 1t will be dlfhcult to
distribute that one single lamp so as
to give entire satisfaction to every
resident Of the city, and even II 1t
is placed elsewhere we believe 1t
would be judlcious to have light on
the spot mentioned, even II the city
had 10 go to slight additional eI-
pense. The one object, Of course, is
too distribute the lights so as to re-
ceive the very best results in the way
Of illumination, and the powers that
he are the judges in that natter II
they have not made up their mind
definitely we hope they may take
under advlsement the suggestion OF
utilizing the elevated spot mem
toned above.

Some one writing to the OregoRidR
shortly after the accident to the
steamer "KOotenai," on the Column
bia river, stated that Mccartney & Co.
would lose about 5000 on their con-
tract to supply goods to the Canadian
Pacific by the accidnut. We are
pleased to say that this Is a mistake.
The gentlemen had finished their
contract with the railroad people
several weeks before heaccident 6c-
Cured. The steamer was loaded
with an assorted cargo that was be-
Ing shipped by private individuals.
All the stuff was saved without dam
age. The only loss the company Is put
to Is the expense Of getting the boat
of the reef, and the time lost, which,
of course, Is considerable. The river
has fallen two and a half feet since
the steamer ran upon the rocks, and
II had to be lifted up and slid Into
deep water. Cribs were built around
the boat and by this means 1t was
handled. Upon examination 1t was
found that no holes were knocked In
the bottom, and II the craft Is not
strained so as to effect the ma
chinery 1t will be already to go on
the route again as soon as launched.

We believe that II the AilrOad
companies Of the northwest would fol-
low thesane custom that is In vogue
In the eastern states in regard to max
ing a reduction Of fares on the roads
to and from the places that hold fairs
In the fall Of the year the fairs would
be far more successful and from the
increased amount Of travel the roads
In the end would bee largely the
gamer. It requires the presence Of
people as we'll as an abundance Of
exhibits to make a county, district Or
state fair success and any means
that can be enlisted TO increase the
patronage OF these annual exhibi-
tlOns should be brought into effect.
Next month the annual exhibit Of
the Mechanics Association Of Port
land takes place In that city. The
date should be one to attract to the
Oregon metropolis many people from
both that state and Washington ter
ritory, and some inducements should
Be held out in the way Of special
railroad rates to encourage the desire
10 visit that city on the occasion.
Many from even this distance would
make 1t a point to go to Portland at
that time should the reduction in the
passenger tariff make 1t an object,
The people of Portland would be
largely gamers II they could sue
ceed in inducing the road to make
special rates during the fair. We
mention this matter as our attention
has been called to 1t by numerous In
quirles II the road intended to sell
reduced tickets during the cOntinu-
alton Of the far.

SPOKANE FALLS wanted electric
lights. A stranger comes along and
offers the lights for S95 per month.
The council accepts the proposition
and the stranger then finds that it
will cost him $50 per month for
power and he vanishes. Spokane
Falls stlll wants electric lights and
has another contractor on the string.
The above is from the Yakima
Signal and we will say for the bene-
At Of the editor thereof that he Sc
cured his information from a very
unreliable source. The stranger did
not vanish and the plant is now in
