convention.
Two Indians occupy cell IN the Cit
Jail. They were arrested yesterday fo

Just as we go to press we learn tba
Smith carries Sherman county by II
votes, and Wasco gives him IL majority
with all in except Baldwin precinct
which is reported to give Smith ma
jority, making Smiths majority in tht
two counties %.
The returns from every precinct in thu
county have been received; but thost
from Mosier and Baldwin were in thu
election box, sealed up, but no one tool
sufficient interest in the matter TO keeI
out a sample ticket with the figures on it
For this reason the figures of these two
precincts cannot be ascertained until the
official canvass.
We have received copy of Justice
published at Grass Valley. Sherman
county. We presume it is printed else
where as we do not see a single local ad-
vertlsement, or any matter relating 10
Sherman county. Being In favor of home
production we do not wish it success, as
we would if it were factor of develop
ment of Grass Valley and vicinity.
A meeting Of the fire department was
held last evening at the council chambers,
at which there was full attendance and
resolution was passed making the fore
man of each company committee of

of the tournament sn the coming 4th OF
July, and after his speech The resolution
carried Mr.. Ad. Keller acted as secre-
tary and MIR. Fl. j. Maier stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting.
Eagle: Deputy Sheriff McRoberts, ac-
companied by the posse of men who went
out for the purpose of capturing the band
of Indians that took in G. E Dustin's
ranch last week, returned, all efforts TO
capture the redskins resulting fruitless.
The Indians swan the river at junction
Bar, and pushed out for the Rock Creek
country. The boys being at that time
forty miles behind, decided it 10 be use
less to push on farther.
The returns received from Wascc, com ;
plete except from Baldwin precinct, IN
sures the election of Biakeley, Demo
cratic candidate for county judge, Ward,
Democratic sheriff, Darnielle commits
sioner, with the balance of the ticket IN
favor of the Republicans by msjorities
ranging from Is to 300. Blakeiey and
Ward, Democrats, received very heavy
msjorit;es. Ii the figures for Baldwin
had been given, the returns from Wasco
would be complete.
Fred Vanderhof, of Gray's river, while
working for &. Hansen telling trees, was
struck down and killed. Vanderhof had
been fully warned by Mr.. Hansen, but
replied 'there was no danger" Even as
the tree fell, Hansen called to him TO get
out of the way, but the man simply stood
and watched its fall. 1t was only when
the fir uee struck G sapiing alder, sending
the alder flying toward him that Wander
hoff attempted TO save himself, but too
late. A broken limb of the alder struck
and penetrated the skull, killing him in
stantly.
Long Creek Eagle: Deputy Sheriff Cal.
Gregsby passed through Long Creek
Wednesday with Cal Smith, whom he ar
rested at Heppner on charge of in
human treatment to his family. Prior to
Smiths going to Heppner he gave his
wife severe beating, Notwithstanding
she had recovered from a severe illness,
holding babe in her arms at the time of
the assault. He also seriously injured
his grown daughter by hitting her on the
head with rock, inflIctlng an injury,
which by the late reports, will probably
prove fatal For such lnhuman treat
ment Mr.. Smith should be severely pun
ished, and it is the opinion of every one
that he will have occasion to retire from
the race-horse business for few years at
least.
