Several sheep men, from the In
land empire were gathered around the
stove at one of the hotels discussing
the prospects for mutton and wool and
the profits to be made by driving sheep
to the Willamette to winter, and at
last they got to telling stories about
sheep.
One told about the captain of a
schooner who had a band of sheep on
the deck of his vessel. AS he was turn
ing and twisting the wheel to keep the
schooner on her course, the old ram
who headed the flock, taking umbrage
at his motions, came up behind him,
and at one fell swoop butted him over
the wheel. The enraged captain
seized his woolly assailant and threw
him overheard, when, prestol away
went the whole flock, popping over the
rail n after another, into the sea.
Boats were lowered, and with much
labor a portion of the flock was saved.
Another told a story which illustra-
ted the same follow-my-leader trait in
the character of sheep. At a port on
the sound one evening just after the
decks hands had got all the freight
slowed away, there came down 500
sheep to be put on board. All hands

trouble connected with shipping
them, but finally a pen was made of
hurdles between decks, and a gangway
rugged, and in the dusk all was ready
to take the sheep on board, and they
We're started down the gangway. The
first one, as he struck the deck, saw
an opening in the other side of the
boat across which a hurdle had been
placed. Instead of going along the
corral prepared this sheep made a run
ming jump, cleared the hurdle and
landed in the salt chuck alongside.
Every one of the band followed suit,
and i'll a short time 500 sheep were
struggling in the water. The captain
having seen the last one go down the
plank yelled out: "All right down
there2" An answer came back: "All
right, sir; send them down" Send
'em down." roared the captain, ebay
emit you the sheep down therel' Not
ASLEEP, sir" was the reply, and investi-
cation showed that there was not a
sheep IN the boat. The captain could
not delay any longer, and so steamed
away, and only a small number of the
sheep ever got ashore Portland Ore

WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-McKiney,
from the committee of ways and means

Perkins of Kansas moved the house 90
in a committee of the whole for the con-
sideration of the bill to provide a town
site and entries OF lands in Oklahoma.
This was ~antagonIzed by Adams of Illi-
nols who wished the house to consider the
Silcott matter and the motion was de-
feated Go to 81. Bland demanded tellers
and the friends of the Oklahoma bill were
again defeated by 90 to los and Adams
called up the Silcott report, accompanied
by a bill appropriating $751; 600 to reim-
members. Adams argued In favor OF the
house bill, holding sergeant at arms was a
public Office.
Hemphill of South Carolina advocated
the adoption of the bill, permitting mem
bers to bring suit in the court Of claims
Tor recovery of their salaries, and opposed
the bill of the majority because he could
find no statute declaring sergeant alarms
a discussing officer. He thought the
house should not appropriate public
money or pay debts.
Holman commended the fund remaining
in the office of sergeat-at. arms. IS, 200,

ST LOUIS, Jan. IA serious shoot
ing affair occurred near Bridgeton, thir-
teen miles out of the city on the Wabash

Amelung had a colored man, Taylor

goes, Pointer had been boasting OF init

report was first heard three weeks ago,

such stories. They called to their assist
ancc their brother-in-laws Otto, Christ.
Herman and Luke Asmus, and Yesterday
they started out to find the offending
Pointer.
A call was made at the house of Greed
Hall, but Pointer had gone with Elder
Hunt to the house of Ralph Bivens to
visit Miss Amanda Bivens, who has been
confined to her bed for four months with
dropsy, and there he was found. Blvens
answered the knock at the door and was
told that they had come to arrest Pointer.
Bivens begged them not to make a DIS
turbance as his daughter was sick. Her.
man Asmus rushed by him into the
house, revolver 10 hand, and l~eveling at
Pointer, said that was warrant enough
for him.
Mrs. Bivens seized a shot gun, when
Otto Asmus rushed in and attempted to
take it from her. Bivens come to her as
s~istance and a terrible struggle eusued
during which two Amelungs seized
Pointer who defended himself desperately.
He was struck over the head with a re-
volver and knocked down with a chair,
when he grabbed a f%atiron, with which
be struck Herman Asmus on the head.
The men then ran out and began firing
through the doors.
Mrs. Bivins, who had run into the
kitchen screamed, and Pointer, picking
up a shotgun ran to her assistance. Otto
Asmus was in the doorway, revolver in
hand. Pointer pointed it full In mis- face.
He fell back and was carried away by his
friends. Pointer escaped to Bridgeton,
where he gave himself up, as it was
feared he would again be attacked. The
wounded man received the full charge in
the face. both eyes being shot out.

New YORK. Jan. l4.-An important
meeting of the Inter. State Commerce
Railway Association was begun this
morning, which will probably decide
whether the association shall continue its
existence. The organization is a veal old
and is best known as the "Gentlemen's
Agreement" Rumors ofcutting of rates
have been rife and this will be a matter
discussed. The decision of Chairman
Walker, holding that the traffic arrange
ment between the Union Pacific and
Northwestern was not a violation of the
agreement, will also come up. The meet
ing is being held behind closed doors.
The threatened outbreak and rupture in
the association was put off indefinitely by
the appointment OF a committee, consist
ing of Commissioners Walker, Faithorn
and Mldgely to consider measures neces-
sary to the perpetuation of the ~associa-
ton and to report at the lex quarterly
meeting. This prevented the airing Of
grievances at the meeting and everything
passed off tremendously. An adjourn.
mentwas taken shortly after ! o'clock with
out any other questions of Importance

The Mormon Question.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-THE senat e
committee on territories this afternoon
listened to statements of representatives
of the Mormon church, declarative of the
teachings of the church in support of
their argument that the constitution
adopted by the people of Idaho FOR a new
state should not BE- accepted by congress.
Bishop Bridge, president OF the Mormon
church of Idaho, said he had always been
taught to obey the laws of the lana and
IN forty two years experience with the
Mormons be never knew any teaching to
the contrary. Mormons. he said. were
taught to believe in the divine inspiration
OF the constitution of the United States.
and thus believing, he said Mormons had
a higher reverence for it than other citi-
zens. The practice of polygamy is de.
creaslng. On the subject of blood atoue-
ment at no time was such principle held
or taught by the Mormon church.
Delegate Game presented a declaration
OF the officials of the church sent out
from Salt Lake, Dec. -. 1889 of the
teachings and doctrines of the church.
Governor Shoupe Of Idaho said the ex-
penses of a state government for Idaho
will necessitate an increase in the tax rate
from 4 mills to 50 mills. Ex-Governor
Stephenson said if the Mormon church
does not teach publicly or privately obi
g%otions of plural marriages an official
declaration to that effect from the church
authorities in Salt Lake will settle the
question of citizenship in Idaho under
the proposed constitution. They have.
he said a remedy for the evils complained
of in their own hands.
