INCIDENT OF EARLY DAYS.
In Which Capt. John NJ. Marden
Play ed Practical JUke on Hon.
ID. w. Butler, Formerly Agent
at the Warm Springs Res

In 1850 Capt. John NJ. Msrden was il
command OF a company Of volunteers, ther
stationed near the Warm Springs reserya
| ton. The Snake Indians at that time
were very troublesome, and frequently the
stage running into the towns in this region
brought news of terrible massacres of miners
and travellers. 1t was about this time that
James Clark's house was attacked by In.
dians, and taking his wife and babies with
him, hid In the willows. From his hiding
place he saw the flames destroying the ac-
cumulation of a number of years-houses,
barns, haystacks, and fences. Soon after
this, the old pioneer, Howard Maupin and
his son, Perry, followed the trail of Paulina,
the war chief OF the Snakes, and after camp
ing several days on the path of the Snake
chief, got sight of him and shot him dead.
This ended the Indian troubles in going to
Canyon City, and after Paulina was killed
there was no further danger from the abor
igines. The place where James Clark and
family escaped from tie Snakes is known
to day as Burnt Ranch" In talking oyer
these incidents with Capt. Marden he told
TIMES -MoUNTAINEER reporter something
which happened in 1860 On the 4th OF
July Of that year the volunteers deter
mined to give the regulars salute on that
day. In going to the Warm Springs ressr-
vation the volunteers had to cross the chit
ike cre,k on log. When Capt. Marden
got his command ON the tree across the
stream, he gave the orders ''about face. :"
At this the soldiers turned around on the
log, Dan Butler among the rest. After
this order was obeyed the order was given
make ready, take aim and fire." After
the discharge, the reverbation of the guns
threw many OF the soldiers into the stream,
which was then waist high. Hon. u. w.
Butler fell into hole, into which his head
was only above the water. Looking at
Capt. Marden, in his anger he exclaimed,
you, will kill you when I
get out of here After everything was
over Capt. Marien treated the boys to a
drink, but they all said tins was the worst
practical joke ever played on them. 1t was
cnIy last week that Hon. d. w. Butler
called Capt. Marden's attention to the fact
and said he would never forget it. There
was no hard feelings afterwards between
Tie captain and his command, and fire.
luently now when they meet they talk over
old days." and laugh and feel jolly about

"a Social Session. "

The performance of a "Social Session"
given at the old Armory Saturday night
was excellent in every particular. The
music was the best ever listened to by a
Dalles audience, aud the band well merit
the high reputation they enjoy through the
country. The cornet soloist and xyrophone
and sleigh-bel player were especial favor
ties, and were loudly and repeatedly en-
cored. These are undoubtedly masters of
the art of harmony, and would entertain
and please the public in the great musical
centers of the world. Every one who ap-

greeted this performance, and believe that
if they had another night in The Dalles no
hall would contain the crowd which would

spend an agreeable evening OF mirth, Wit

The telegraphic correspondent OF the Or
egonian sent the following from Walla
Walla, under date Of Dec. 23d:
''rhere is a big sensation brewing IN " ALA
Walla, and one that may result in the
shooting of one or more before it is over.
IL was openly charged on the streets to-day
that prominent business man inveigled
well-k known young lady into his room day
or two ago, upon some plausible pretext and
when she had entered, crinInally assaulted
her. The young woman made desperate
struggle to preserve her honor. In the
struggle her clothing was almost torn from
her body, and her body severely injured.
Only timely outcry prevented her asssil-
ant from accomplishing his purpose. as she
was nearly exhausted. By some inexplica-
bic means not explained, she effected her
escape. Those are the details, so far as the
Oregonian correspondent was able to obtain
them.
1.-The story has become public property,
however, and it Will be impossible to keep
the identity OF the parties quiet much
longer. The name of the business man and
young lady are very well and popularity
known. Their names will be suppressed
until more definite action is taken.
'.It is reported on the streets tonight
that the father of the young lady, one of
Walla Walla's most prominent men, has Or
dered her assailant to leave the city, or
take the consequences, which are only pre-
vented from Immediate execution because
of the precarlous health Of the girls
mother
In this connection it is well to mention
that at recent meeting of the directors of
the agricultural society proposal to donate
to the prominent business man paid up
shares of stock IN the society, as a sort of
testimonial of their appreciation of his
labors in its behalf at the recent fair. was
voted down after one OF the directors had
made partial expose of his record.

Perished Ia the Snow.
Pakar na,nncraf


From Capt. Craig, of Eagle Valley, who
arrived in the city yesterday, the reporter
learned that Thos. Arthur, of Brownlee's
Ferry. Idaho, Is supposed to have persisted
in the snow. In company with several
other men he left home last Monday on
snow shoes to look after some horses that
were showed in up in the mountains. All
the members of the party returned In the
evening except Mr.. Arthur, who they
thought would return later on, but when
morning came were surprised to find that
he had not put in an appearance. They be-
came very much alarmed at his continued
absence and at once organized a party to
search for him. Up to the present time
their endeavors have been in vain and all
hope of friends finding him alive is given
up. 1t is supposed that the unfortunate
man fell over preclpice and was killed or
else became exhausted from hunger and
fatigue and perlshed In the snow.

Tie Humble German Soldier.

We saw recently little squad david
ling along in their uniforms through the
heat, the most ambitionless, hot, weary OF
lazy souls, dragging one foot after the
other as if cannon ball were attached to
each, writes a Berlin correspondent.
'sPoor fellows, we thought, chow plainly
every line about them tells the oppression
and misery of the whole brutal systemln
When all at once, to our amazement, they
stiffened up like ramrods, flung one leg
out n front at an angle of forty-five de-
grees with force enough to kick down
rampant, and then brought the heel OF
the ironclad member down upon the
pavement like a blacksmith's hammer,
ths sparks flying in all directions. We
Looked on in amazement, wondering what
had happened to them, when in the dis
lance appeared diminutive corporal,
the occasion of the whole excitement.
The same awe of their superiors runs
through the entire German army. A COM
mon soldier having his boots BACKED
will instantly stand aside, before the
operation is completed, as a corporal
steps up. He in turn gives place to an
officer, and in few minutes three OF
these accommodating individuals are
standing in row, bolt upright, with
their trousers turned up, and each one
With boot BACKED. When the fourth
has been served he passes along with
dignity, and each of the other three takes

A living Cnrnse.

A strange and hideous monstrosity ex-
lists in Portland il the person of a six
year-old boy, the lineaments of whose
features and the pallor of whose counte-
nance have an exact similitude to those of
4 corpse. During a critical period previ-
GUS to the child's birth his mother, re-
ceiving intelligence of the dangerous i'll
ness of her father, hurried to his bedside
only to find him a corpse. The shock to
her in her deEcate condition was great,
and when the child was born II had the
mark of death on its face.
The boy though now six years old is
very small and withered up and has
shrill piping voice. His nose is pinched,
his eyes and cheeks sunken; on the tenn
pies and beneath the eyes the skin is dis
colorsd, while the whole countenance has
the dull pallor of corpse. The hands,
feet and limbs are very EHnall and bony.
The child is bright and precocious and
answers questions with an intelligence
that is rather startling. However, the
same pallid, set expression Of countenance
always greets the eye. He never smiles
Or changes his facial expression under
any provocation. A person not ac-
luainted with his history would suppose
him to be in the last stages of some
wasting disease, but the father says the
boy was never unwell day in his life

The Mexican Masn.

The Mexican wasp is built entirely for
business. He is over two inches long
when he is of age, and is about the color
of bay horse His plunger is a full inch
long and as fine as spiders web. Unlike
the singer Of a common bee the singer
of the Mexican wasp is non-forfeitable.
He don't give it up after one lunge, but
has It always in readiness for an all day
job If necessary. The mission of the
Mexican wasp seems to be merely to hunt
up people and run that singer of his
into them. The natives say that he will
go ten miles out of his way to get
whack at a person. The natives seem to
get fat on snake bites, centipede bites and
scorpion stings, but if they discover one
of these wasps in the neighborhood they
hunt for cover without delay.-T Tombstone
