A WAsHiSoTos DISPATCH says al
Representative Hermann's bill to place
Winemale RIDDLE on the pension rolls,
at the rate OF $25 per month, passes,
il will be the first case in which the
government has ever granted pen
sion to an Indian. Wincnale was
member Of the Modoc tribe OF In
dams, and when they attacked and
msssacred the commissioners sent out
by the government to negotiate a
treaty with them, she found Colonel
Meaohan,, desperately wounded, in the
lava beds, and did all that lay in her
power for his comfort. She brought
him food and drink, made him a tenn.
porary shelter and bound his wounds,
at the peril OF her own life had he been
discovered. As soon as Meacham had
recovered sufficiently TO be moved,
Winemale carried him on her shout
ders several miles and restored him TO
his friends. For this service il is be-
lieved she is entitled to a pension. 4"
The statement that "Winemale car
ried him on her shoulders several
miles," is probably incorrect, as Colo

SENATOR DoLPH has reported from
the Committee ON Pablo Lands a bill
OF great importance to the citizens Of
Oregon and Washington Territory.
The object OF the bill is to confirm the
titles of widows, orphans and single
women who took claims under the
Oregon donation law of 1850 and am.
endatory acts, and made their proofs
and received certificates. He says
their are some forty cases in Linn
county, Oregon, alone, and probably
several hundred in Oregon and Wash
ington, where donation claims were
taken over thirty years ago by widows,
orphans and single women, and where
the land has been sold and transferred
upon the strength Of donation certili-
Gates, which are now held under the
rulings o! Land Commissioner Sparks
TO be invalid, and number Of which
have been held for cancellation on the
ground that the parties were not en-
titled to take such claims for various
reasons. The Commissioner holds
that widows whose husbands, and or
phans whose parents, died on the way
to Oregon, were not qualified to take
a claim. The Senator says that the
law was probably very LITERAL con
strued in the early settlement of
Oregon.

Terrible Accident.


New YoRK.-A frightful accident
occurred in Brooklyn, which caused
the death of three persons and the in
jury of dozen others. Along Broad.
way section of the Union elevated
road is now in course of construction.
A huge steam derrick which was used
in building it was pulled along the
girders as each section was completed.
The derrick was started, and had been
pulled but short distance when the
girders began to spread outward. Just
at that moment a street Car was APP
preaching the section, but the driver
did not notice what was going on over
head. The derrick passed through the
girders and fell to the ground, striking
the horse car and cutting it in two.
The fire department was called out,
and an ambulance sent for, but owing
to escaping steam and the heat OF the
boiler it was some time before any
thing could be done. Finally the de-
bris was cleared away, and the dead
and wounded released.
The killed were: Frederick Thomp
son, street car driver; Charles Kirch-
ner and Patrick Clark, two of the
injured, will probably die. The others
are resting comfortably.
