The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1890-03-08

| OF washington, was Tor many years resi-
dent of The Dalles. He was always
young man of exemplary habits, and vel
qualified for business.
There were twenty tramps yesterday Al
the freight depot, and Marshal Gibonl
ordered them to leave. Thoee who wers
arrested last night by the marshal ant
night officer, one of whom was shot by Oh
Ger Quinten, were members of this gang.
The Dalles has been very fortunate dur.
ing the past winter in having an abundance
OF fuel. Other places have not been sowel
situated. At Antelope, we are Informed,
rail fences have been purchased for this
purpose, and Mr.. Patterson, of Heppuer,
purchased wood from Hood River.
The past winter The Dalles has exper-
fenced the mildest weather of any point
east OF the Cascade mountains. The colee 1T
here has been IL degrees below zero, while
at Hood River 1t has been l6 degrees, at
Arlington II degrees, Pendleton "a, and
other points in the interior much colder.
| Mr.. R. Mays returned last night from a
visit to the country, during which time he
has visited every portion Of the county.
He says 1t will be impossible to approx
mate the loss of cattle, but it will he fear-
/
| it will be some time before the ground is
| perfectly bare. The loss during the last
storm was much worse than during the
| first. The mercury ran down to many de-
grees below zero, and The worst blizzard
Mr.. Mays ever experienced ragged through
the country.
We learn from the Burns Herald that
Ida, aged about three years, youngest
daughter of Mrs. Hackman, on Feb. 25th,
caught its dress on fire, and, although its
brother Frank rolled it in blanket, the
burns on the body have proved fatal.
The boy says, wo are told, the little one
was sitting on the stove hearth at the
time, and its dress was drawn forward into
the stove by force of the draft. The little
child died on Wednesday following its
injuries. Everything possible was done
to relieve its injuries, but to no effect.
Officer Quinton arrested last night seve ra
suspicious persons on the ''vag" ordinance.
When near the old armory one by the name
of Stokes attempted to escape, and the
officer shot at him three times, the last ball
striking him in the foot. They were finally
housed, and DR.. Hollister called. who at.
tended to the injured man. The person ls
not at all seriously hurt only receiving
wound in the foot and breaking some
bones. Those placed under arrest by
Quinton will soon learn that it Is not advis. |
able to attempt to escape. He is one OF the |
best officers we have ever had in this city, |
and our citizens should uphold him in his |
efforts to rid the city of questionable char. |
acters.
Lewiston Teller: The Indian Titus, who |
was sent from the NeZ Perce reservation,
by Agent Robbins to Colville, TO get the
confession of Potlatch Fanny regarding |
the killing Of the white man in the Bitter
Root mountains year ago, returned here
on Saturday last and reports that he saw
her bnt could not talk to her, she taking
to the brush on seeing him and they
looked for her all one day but we're unable
to get her; The Indian that was taken
from here to Missoula for trial has been
convicted and is sentenced to be hanged
ON March 7th, and Il is. said that if
Fanny's confession could be obtained 1t
would be likely to save his neck, but she
is afraid it will implicate herself too
near Spokane last summer was the one
That committed the murder. Titus reports
seeing Chief Joseph and many others of
the Nez Perce warriors.
Newport REPUBLICAN,: At no far distant
lay railroad will he constructed along
he Oregon coast from Yaquina bay to
San Francisco, meeting the Donahue road
hat now runs from San Francisco bay to
Ukiah. This road will enjoy advantages
by no other road in the United
States. 1t will run tho whole distance
along the foot of great and picturesque :
-ange of mountains and always clOse to or
IN sight of the broad Pacific ocean; it
will be entirely free from snow blockades
md very rarely impeded by floods, wash
puts and landslides. 1t will be the road 1
,ar excellence for tourists to travel, and
githal just about as short line from San
to Chicago as will be built. 1t
will be paying road from the start.
" hp knows but what this route is not in .
he plan of tho railroad interests now be-
ng concentrated at Yaquina bay.
A droll feature of affairs exists on the ,
lntarIo to Burns sage line SO we are in ,
ormed. The line is divided into three
lrives: Ontario to Beulah, Beulah to
)rewsev, Drewsey to Burns. Since the
now blockade the drive of Ontario to /;
,eulah was discontinued, and of Harvey to =.
)rewseY. So that both ends OF the line
nd the swing drive are plving to and fro, '
nth no connection between. The On @
ario driver dumps the mail matter from
he railroad at Vale to remain till the
lockadc on established stage road Is
aised; the Drewsey driver goes daily to P
'eulah and returns; the Burns driver 8
0es 10 Hafney, as far as he can take his
tage, and returns; meantime, the people
