Attempted Outrage.


About o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs.
E. w. Group, living nearly opposite the
ladies' hall of Whitman College, was called
to the door by knock, and was con.
fronted with tough looking character, who
requested drink of water which she gave
him, and after he had drank took the tum-
bier and entered the house again. After
putting the glass down she turned to be
confronted by the tramp who had followed
her in. He immediately grabbed her by
the throat, and raising his clenched fist said
that if she tried to scream he would kill
her, accompanying his words with the vilest
language. The lady, half strangled by the
pressure Of his clasped fingers, managed to
give half articulate scream which fortu-
nately was loud enough to be heard by
young man named Pierce, who roomed up
stairs, and who on hearing the cry came
running down stairs. The tramp hearing
his footstep, released his hold on Mrs.
Group and ran away in the direction of wal
nut grove. Pierce followed him for time,
but was unable to oyertake him, and in the
excitement forgetting to give the alarm bya
call when the neighbors might have come
to his assistance. Seeing that the tramp
was too fast a runner, Pierce came down
town and notified the marshal, who in COM
pany with Officer McClees made thorough
search of that portion of the city, but with.
out success. Men are still on the lookout
for the miscreant, who Il found will be sum-
marily dealt with

The Grant County Ne,es says that Reu-
ben Fields, who obtained divorce from his
spouse, is now in trouble. His testimony
before Judge Isou was to the effect that the
woman he had married had living husband
already unknown to him, from whom she
had not been divorced. Upon these grounds
her marriage with Reuben was declared of,
and the grand jury began an investigation
of the case with a view of indicting the
woman for bigamy. Mr.. Fields was called
upon to testify before that body, and ''as a
sheep before her shearers is dumb SO he
opened not his mouth" Judge Ison had
bench warrant issued for him, and on his
appearance before him inquired why he had
refused to testify before the grand jury.
Reuben said that the evidence he had pre-
viously given in the suit was made in con-
fidence. and by answering questions before
the grand jlry he feared he might criminate
himself. The judge informed him of the
penalty attending a refusal to testify, but
Reuben declared that be had given all the
testimony that he intended to give. Sea-
tence was then declared that he be impr.s-
oned In the county Jail six months, and be
fined two hundred and fifty dollars, or I'M
prisonment one day for every two dollars OF
the fine

The "ElOur Natter
RoyD Or. Sent. 81. IL


EDITOR TINES -MoUSTAISEER:
The farmers meeting held by the Wasco
county farmers at Union schoolhouse Sept.
2l, 1889, adopted the following in answer
to the Wasco SUMS "Flour Matter:
We see an editorial in the Wasco Sun of
September llth, entitled "The Flour Mat
ter" and had it not placed the whole mat
ter in so false light we would have let it
pass in silence; hence we give the other side
to the public. To explain the reason for
our action in this matter we will say, that
the average farmer has this year lost at
least Sl5C0 each in farm products, such as
grain, hay, vegetables, pasture, fruit trees
and shrubbery. There are 500 or more
farmers who draw their supplies from The
Dales; this would aggregate loss to this
number of farmers Of over 81 100000 Now
we have been accustomed TO getting our
flour by exchange, and thus In exchanging
our wheat for our flour 1t has cost us from
s.. 90 to So so per barrel. But now that we
are drouth-stricken and down, the combina-
ton of the Diamond Mills and some OF the
merchants have concluded to put their foot
on MS to The tune of 81 to 81 .25 per barrel
for our -four. We have not asked any to
gi, e us a cent, but we have asked that the
Diamond Mills sell us -four and feed on the
same terms that Others buy itl
In regard to the matter of short weight
of the Diamond -four we have but little to
say only we know that what has been pub
lished is true, and that we have the corrob-
ative evidence of Mr.. Curtis which places
the editor of the Sun in an unenviable POSI-
tion before the public as swift ana wlliing
witness for a little trust Numbers OF our
farmers have asked at the Diamond Mills to
buy flour and feed but have been told by
Mr.. Curtis that he had nothing to do with
the management of the mill, but that Mr..
Schmidt had charge OF The whole AFFAIR shd
had contracted all of the proceeds to some
of the merchants. So VIC lee that Mr.. Cur
It's had no more to do in managing the mill,
or fixing the scales to weigh the Hour than
we had; and right here comes in the blame
of Mr.. Curtis in putting his name to an
apology for short weight in the Hour when
he neither knew, or 1T was his business to
know, anything about the matter. Schmidt
is the man that must know exactly what
the -four weighed. The farmers are not
after Mr.. Gun It's or his business (when prop
erly managed) or The Dares, for MIR. Cur
tis is one of us and The Dalles is our
creature, for come of our money is IN every
brick that is laid there, and we feel too
much pride in the growth of The Dailes to
ipiure it ourselves or let others by forming
trusts there to drive business away.

On the 26th of September, the greatest
exposition ever held on the Pacific coast
will be opened IN Portland, and will con-

expended S25O,OOO on the building and

hibitors. Liberati, the greatest living cor
netist, with a band of fifty of the beet
musicians Of New York will furnish the
finest music yet heard on the coast. A re-
duction of railroad fares on all lines has

people from all over the northwest will take
this opportunity to visit Portland and see
its mammoth exposition. The great live
stock show, which will be held from Octo-
ber l4th to 10Th, will also attract great
many people,

At St. Mary's hospital. on Tuesday morn-
ing at 5 o'clock, w. /. Graham died from
injuries received on July 26th, near Riparia.
He was in his thirty-fifth year. This is a
particularly sad death, the result of an &C.
cident caused by the malice of tramps. Mr..
Graham, who has been an engineer in the
employ of the o. R. & N. company, had
been promoted but short time to passen-
ger train, and in December, 1888, mad been
married. He was highly thought of by the
officers of the company and was general
favorite with his fellow employees. The
accident, of which he was the sole victim,
was chronicled in the Union at the time,

The rest are safe, but suffering from the
wounds and bruises on our limbs" !"

OF Blacks was cxtricated from Black s
house. Her limbs were stiff from mac
tinn and the least touch caused pain.

The next to follow was an s year old
boy, also named Berrigan.
