Some Indians drove to town to. day from
Warm Springs reservation. From them we
learn more anger Is expressed against the
| Indian who procured the poisoned whisky,
| and would not drink it himself. than against
the half breed who sold the liquor. There
| have three died from the poisoned fluid, two
| women and one man. The Gllacuns OF the
| persons who died have been somewhat paci-
fed by receiving ten ponies apiece from the
fellow who distributed the poisoned liquid.
The Baker City Blade says: People
| looking for work in the mines are advised
not to be too sure about getting work In
Cracker creek. There is now quite num-
Der of men In that place who are unable to
get work at reasonable wages. OF course
the E & E Mining company are employing
a large force of men, but don't think that
/ they will continue TO employ men, for they
only need certain number and these have
already been secured.
Between the lst OF August and the 10Th

East Oyeqonian: W. S. El lott is up
from Umatilla after medical attendance,
he wing met with q rather curious accident
Monday. He was riding IN the yard in the
cab of an engine, wren the water glass
broke. There were l60 pounds pressure,
aud the explosion was terrific, filling the
cab with ste m and hot water. The force
was such that piece of broken glass COM
pletely penetrated the calf of Mr. Elliott's
leg, lnflcting painful wound. He will be
''lald on the shelf" for week or more.
Salem Statesman: The friends of Frederick
Zorn, the Pendleton wife-mu derer, have |
sent a lengthy petition to the governor urg.
ing that rms death sentence be commuted |
to life imprisonment Zorn 1t will be re- |
membered, is sentenced to be hanged on |
August l2tn He shit his wife who died. |
Then he shot an old woman, but the shot |
was not fatal And then he fred a ball |

Charles Herman, the half breed Indian,
who was arrested here few days ago for
Sc ling liquors to Indians, and was sent to
Portland to be tried for the crime, CON-
mitted suicide yesterday afternoon III The
Multnomah county Jail. The act for which
he was arrested proved more serious than
at first apprehended, for the whisky sold by
him was poisoned and caused the death of
three Indians on the Warm Springs reser-
vation. He pleaded guilty to the first crime;
but it appeared very likely that the U. s.
grand jury would hold him for murder for
furnishing the poisoned liquor. Herman
was q morphine fiend. and his daily allow
lnce IN Jail was not as large an amount as
that to which he was accustomed. This,
together with the crime OF murder, perhaps
caused an alteration of mind, and made
,im tear piece out of his blanket and
ang himself TO the cell window.
