A Baker City paper expresses the hopo
that the backbone of winter will soon be
broken and spring put in an appearances,
and a gentleman from the Grande Ronde
valley tells about the great fall fall of snow
in that region and the consequent suffering
of stock. Here In The Dalles and vicinity
there has been no winter, and the weather
for weeks past has been balmy and spring
like. Instead of snow the rainfall has been
copious and sufficient to gladden. the hearts
OF all, and there is promise of abundant
haryests next season. This has been the
mildest winter experienced Cor years in this
vicinity.
Telegram: The purser of the LurliDe tells
story which well illustrates the difference
between Eastern and Western Oregon.
About two years ago an old lady got on the
boat at the Cascades, on her way to the
valley, and friend sung out: "Hellol Mrs.
Blank; where are you going?" 'Going
where there is water to wash my clothes;
we don't have enough for that in Eastern
Oregon" was the reply. About a month
after she was a passenger on the Lurline
going back. The purser said: "How do
you do, Mrs. Blank! Have you got your
washing donei" "Yes," said the old lady.
81 have. and now am going back east Of
the mountains to get my clothes dry"
Yakima Herald: Northern Pacific loco
motive No. 57l is looked upon by all con-
ductors, engineers and brakemen on the
road as the rankest kind of hoodoo. She
was brought on to this division about three
years ago and has spent the greater part of
that time in the repair shops. Her first
wreck was at Prescott, the crew escaping
with slight injuries. The next was head
end wreck one mile east of Buckley. The
third was a frightful collision at Eagle
Gorge, at which time Engineer Young and
Fireman Cooper were killed. Then in try
ing to butt train from the track at Palmer
she was hurled into Green river, and so
throughout her life seems to be possessed of
the spirit OF the evil one. Strange stories
are told of a goblin perching itself on the
pilot of 57l, of the hose squirting blood
when an attempt is made to draw water
from the tank to wet down the coal, and of
various mysterious pranks and eaprIses that
the old engine is given to. "You may call
1t superstition If you want to- said an old
N. P. employe to a Herald reporter, "but
there isn't railroad man on this division
but what tears 57l, and they will all rest
easier when she tinds her way to the junk
shop"

Warning Faction

PNEvILLE, KY, Jan. ga factional
| feud that promises to rival IN bloodshed-
ding the famous Hatfield Mccoy or any
OF the other desperate factional wars
which have made this section of Kentucky
notorious, has broken out in the southern
part of this country. Owing to the in
accessibility of the place, particulars are
hard to obtain, but three men have been
killed since last Saturday. Their names
are Manuel Parton, Lee Davis aud Will
Jones. The fight is between Berry Turner.
a notorious outlaw and murderer with a
strong gang, and the Parton faction. The
Parton side is a strong one and claim to
have the law on their side, but so far
they haye bad the hot end of the fight.
Parton was killed Saturday. He bad es
sayed to capture Berry Turner, dead or
alive, and posted himself at a convenient
distance from a house in which Turner
was fortified with number of his gang.
It was probably Parton's intention to
shoot Turner at the first opportunity, but
the latter had too much cunning. The
outlaw discovered the Whereabouts of his
would be slayer and at an unguarded
moment succeeded in drawing bead on
the latter and shot from his Winchester
crashed through Parton's head. This
murder only fired the Parton faction to
more desperate warfare against the Tur-
ner side, and on Wednesday they made
bold attempt to avenge the death OF their
man. The act was disastrous to the
Partons, as two more of their number
were killed. The Partons had surround
ed the Turner stronghold, but instead of
taking it, the army were themselves
taken In. They were fired upon from the
Turner house, and before they could real
lze that their presence bad been dis
covered, Lee Davis and Bill Jones, two
of the leading men OF the Parton faction,
had been pierced by the bullets from the
deadly Winchesters, and hundred shots
were exchanged. Some of the Turner fac
tion are said to have been wounded.

A PeruiInrly sad Death.

MONMOUTH, Or, Jan. 30-The remains
of Miss Emma Davenport, student of
the Normal school, who died here late yes
terday afternoon of typhoid fever, were
taken to Portland for interment today.
This death is peculiarly sad one, leaV-
ing, as 1t does, the mother, the only sur
viving member of the family. The young
lady's father and brother both died of the
same disease within a few years Mrs.
Davenport had but lately removed here
for the purpose OF sending her daughter
to school. The remains were accompanied
by Professor Campbell, of the Normal
school, and other friends, who will assist
in the funeral arrangements, which are to
be conducted under the auspices of the
Grand Army, the father having been an
honored member of that organization.
Fully 500 people followed the remains to
the depot.

He surprlsed rhe Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Feb. burke Cochran
made surprising speech in the house
just before the adjournment tonight, in
which he indorsed the rule adopted by
the last congress for the purpose Of
counting quorum when the quorum
was in the house. He said it was rea-
sonsble and just, and took strong grounds
in ADVOCATING what he thought to be
right. 1t created a great deal of dis
satisfaction among a large number of
Democrats, who claimed that Cochran
made the speech for the purpose of back
ing Dave Hills position when the latter
was lieutenant governor Of New York
and counted quorum in the senate.
They also said that if Cochran thought
he was making any friends for Hill in
that way he was mistaken, and that the
hackers of Hill bad better call off this
Tammany chief or Hills chances would
be utterly ruined. Cochran sits just
across the aisle from Tom Reed, and ap
pears to have absorbed great deal of
horse sense from the ex.speaker.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-Several English pa

Washington to the Dalzeil Agency, in
which it Is asserted that President Har
risen yesterday Informed the senate COM
swer of Chill to the ultimatum sent her
the 2ist inst. was received before his
message was sent to congress, but that he
was not aware Of its contents, owing to
the fact that il was not translated to
English until after the message had been
delivered to congress. Basing its con-
tents on this assertion, the st. James
Gazette this afternoon publishes an article
in which it says: "If the story is true,
President Harrison has disgraced and
made himself ridiculous"

companied by number of Indians,
boarded Campbell's sloop, seized Camp
bell and Elliott, and ordered the Indians
to tie them hand and foot. Edwards then
ordered the vessels deck torn up to search

The Question ef Indemnity soon to
be Considered.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--At the cabinet
meeting today the Chilian matter was
discussed. 1t was decided that Minister
Egan should be instructed to say to Senor
Pelrerra, ChilIan minister of foreign af-
fairs, that his reply TO the note of Secre-
tary Blaine of the 21st indicated desire
on the part of the Chilian government to
satisfy the United States of its feeling of
regret over the assault upon the sailors
of the Baltimore, the replies as to the
Malta note of December IL, and the re-
quest for the recall of Minister Egan, and
the latter will be directed to say they are
entirely satisfactory. Such being the
case, the United States will leave the
matter of reparation to the sufferers by
the assault to Chill to initiate, according
to her sense of justice and right, and with
a salute of the United States flag, the in
cident will be considered closed by this
government. Until Chilli makes some
offer of reparation, of course there will be
nothing to arbItrate, as no points of diff
ference exist The offer may be so salts
factory that arbitration on this score will
not be necessary.

Asteamer has just been Duiltin Sweden
which travels ON land as well as through
the water. II has made Its trial trip, and
is said to have accomplished all that was
desired for it. There are two lakes near
Boras, Sweden, that are separated by
considerable strip of land. The object of
the strange steamer is TO save expense in
the transportation of freight across the
lake, particularly the avoidance of double
shipment. Rails have been laid across
the land strip and the steamer is so con-
structed that by Its own engines 1t can be
run from the water upon the rails and
then roll across until it dips into the
other lake. The little steamer is of ten
horse power, and can accommodate sixty
passengers in addition to Its freight. It
is very appropriately named the SOdnen,
which Is the Swedish name for Swan.

Capt. Pierce Reported Seen.

Capt. N. s. Pierce, deputy collector of
internal revenue, of Portland, notice Of
whose mysterious disappearance was
made in yesterdays Statesman, is reported
to have been seen and talked to by a
conductor on a train running between
Pendleton and Huntington, on January
8, the day after be left Portland. Several
stories have been set afoat in regard 10
the probable cause of his disappearance,
one of which was to the effect that he
had become enamored of quite wealthy
lady In Spokane, and that thoy had left
for the east together, as per previous ar
rangements. This story, however, is at
utter variance with Capt. Pierce's pre-
vlous character, and no attention is paid
to it by those who have known him for
the past twenty years.
The most probable theory was given
to Statesman reporter by Sheriff p. M.
Kelley, of Multnomah county, in an in
terview yesterday. Mr.. Kelley said that
few days before his departure Capt.
Pierce came to him and besought him,
very earnestly, TO indorse a note for $500
for him saying that he was In urgent
need of the money; that he never In bis
life had been in SO tight place. Mr..
Kelley told him that he was very sorry to
refuse him, but was so situated that 1t
would be impossible to accede to his re-
quest. He said that the captain seemed
to be in great distress, and his idea is
that he had business troubles that preyed
on his mind until he arrived at such
state that he wandered of, not really
knowing just where he was going, and
that In due time he will be found, just as
W. M. Wisdom, the Portland druggist
who wandered off during a period of
mental alteration, was found.
Capt Pierce has been q resident Of
Portland for the past twenty years, and
has always enjoyed the entire respect
and confidence of all who knew him, and
that there is anything crimina! connected
with his absence will not be entertained
for moment until actually proven.

has just reached this city that City
Engineer Mckenzie was found dead yes
terday, twenty miles north of Granite

was found eighty rods from Camp Inde-

The mystery concerning the sudden dis
appearance Of Captain N. s. Pierce from his
home in Portland. still remains unsolved.
Several clues haye been followed by the
detectives employed in searching for the
missing man but every effort has proved
futile and it seems as though no trace of his
whereabouts will be discovered. The fear
that he has been the victim Of foul play IL
still entertained by many and this opinion
is strengthened by the fact that there is no
reason, so far as known. for his making
secret departure. He has held the Office Of
deputy collector OF internal revenue for
some time and his accounts with that Office
are stated to be perfectly correct. As
usual in such cases, there is rumor ahoat
duplicating woman in the case. but those
who know Captain Pierce refuse to believe
any such report.
