The Chinese NJ utders,

Since our last issue we are placed IN
possession uf further facts rs given by
Walloua Signal If later date, which
are as follows:
Three weeks ago we published an
account of massacre OF Chinanen on
Snake river just above the mouth ct the
lmuaha. and while in the main the facts
were true as We published them, we are
now in possession Of the eutire matter
as it actually occurpd.
A party Of men consisting Of Bruce
Evans. j. r. Garfield, Homer LaRnr,
Roh,. Mcmillan, Carl Hnuhs, II May
narJ and Frank Vaughn, of Wall"wa.
entered into an agreement last spring,
now nearly year ago, to murder these
Chinese for the gold dust they though,
they possessed, and agreed that il any 81
the party divulsed it the rest should kill
him but Hughs did not like the idea OF
committn. the deed at all and would
have no hand in the matter. but at this
time was stopping with the parties who
committed the deed.
As near az we can learn, about ye.l
ago now, all the men named above ex

camp and opened fire on them, KILN;

was given to Garfield to cell for coin
and after he got possession Of it b
skipped the country, aud the rest Of tn
party got nothing.
The grand jury took hold Of the mat

A Good Account.

In the burlington Hnwk-eye Of the
26th Of April appears correspondence
from Lewiston, under date IF April 23rd,
signed +. and c.. which describes Lew
iSton and the country around it. We
infer that it was written by two young
men who visited this place and took a
cursory view Of the country about that
time. 1t contains about the truth, with
out cxageration. They were told dit
ierent story ut Spokane Fails and ad-
sised no, to come here. But like honest
men who were writing up the country
they wanted te see for themselves and &c
they come. Their correspondence evinces
that their impressions Of the county
were very different from what they had
been told,

An item 10 the Walta Walla Journt


An item in the Walia Walla Journal
says that the managers Of the Q. r. IL
N. Co., are waiting for the Lewiston
people to buy the right Of way before
they decide to build the road from
Riparia to Lewiston. We think the
Journal must be mistaken, as we have
nsver been made to understand that
their coming here with their road was
conditioned that the people Of Lewiston
should buy the right Of way. We pre-
sumo that the q. r. & N. Co., would
consider it favor 10 have the Lewiston
people, if they felt able, purchase this
right Of way. but that they did not make
it condition Of their coming.

HARD AT WORK
Canvassing for Delegates to the
Republican Convention.

Republican Convention.
There is more or less stir in the Re-
publican camp incidental to the primar-
les of this evening for the nomination
of delegates to the legislative cOnven-
ton. Each of the prospective candi-
dates, together with volunteer lieuten-
ants and henchmen, are max
ing an active canvass for the
nomination for this office within the
gift of the people. The candidates are
legion, and number of them will be
killed in the rush, as there will not be
sufticiency of berthS to accommodate
one-half of those desiring nominations.
Among those most prominently men
toned are j. q. Elmquist, Hiram +.
Stevens, William f. Bickel, F. c.
Stevens, w. ii. Sanborn, Gerhard Will
rich and George I'll. Warren. The
friends of DIR. Murphy have also spoken
of him as possibility, as it is thought
that his popularity would give strength
to the ticket. But DR.. Murphy being
at present out of the city, his friends
known to be non-ambitiOuS for political
preferment.
The county officials have also began a
still hunt for denominations. Sheriff
Richer is out bright and early, and if
energy and, hard work can do it, in
tends to beat all competitors in the final
roundup on convention day. NJ. j.
Bell has also shaken the dust of the
registers Office from off his feet, and
intends to do his utmost to defeat
Gregory p. Ritz ct al. At meeting
of the First ward Republicans last even
ing, however, Mr.. Pitt was declared by
the voters present to be their unani-
nous choice for the Office. The meeting
declared that he was not only very
strong amongst his countrymen but
very popular as well.
