Another one Killed.

PINEvILLE, KY, Feb. 4-The Turner
and Parton factions bave had another
clash. and this time one of the Turner
gang was killed. The man killed was
George Sharp, son of old Kirk Sharp,
at whose house Turner and his gang had
been making their headquarters. The
encounter occurred on Sunday night, but
no news was received mere until yester-
day. SIlas Parton, . cousin to Manuel
Parton who was killed, and who was
with him at the time, brought the news
here. The Partons, who had kept a
close watch on Turner, thought they saw
an opportunity to catch the outlaw when
his men were away from the house, so
four of the Parton crowd made sudden
swoop on the rendezvous. They
caught Turner and Sharp asleep In the
cabin, as they had anticipated, and made
them prisoners. Turner, however, made
an outcry, which brought to his rescue a
number of his men, who were in cabin
a short distance away. The Partons,
seeing they were outnumDered, fled. A
number of shots were exchanged, and
George Sharp was killed. No further
steps have been taken to organize a posse
of officers here to capture Berry Turner,
since it has been learned that the seat OF
the trouble is IN Tennessee and not in
Kentucky.

Waiting for the Messiah.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4-Captain Huggins,
aide de-camp to General Miles, returned
today from trip to the Irdian territory.
He says the Arapahoe, Cheyenne and
Usage Indians still cling to the belief
a messiah will appear some day to save
them. They do not pretend to know the
fixed date for their deliverance, but say
God will destroy the white people and
place the Indians back in the happy, in
dependent state of their existence be-
fore the white people came. Captain
Huggins witnessed the distfibution of
cattle for food for the Indians at the
Cheyenne and Aarapahoe agencies. The
cattle supplied by the contractor were so
poor and thin that one of the chiefs OBJ
jected to them. The officer who inspect
ed cattle rejected them. An investiga-
tion showed all the poor, worthless cattle
were given to the Indians, the fatter ones
being shipped to market.

VALPARAISO, Feb, 4.-The officers of
Demogracia at Santiago, and Opposscion
at Valparaiso, have been cleaned out.
These two newspapers are regarded as
unfrieudly to the present government.
The former was attacked by a mob, and
short work was made of the office. In
the case of the latter, it is claimed that
some military officers who were passing
the office were insulted from the windows,
and then assaulted 1t with iron bars and
pistol shots. They broke into the office,
smashed the furniture, pied the type In
the forms, and otherwise wrecked the
office. Both papers. as we'll as La Re.
public, whose Office was cleaned out Tues
day, issued small fly sheets yesterday,
protesting against the action of the mobs
as violation of the liberty of the press.
Captain CORN, the late commander of
the Imperial under Balmaceda, has ar
rived here from Peru. He was arrested
and placed on board the gunboat O'Hig-
gins. General Valasquez is still prlso-
ner on board the cruiser Errdzuarez.

$4,000 damages tor defamation of char
acter was entered today by DIR. ]. E.
Plouf against Thomas Harrison Dempsey, y,
formerly one of the proprietors of the
E0ening Times. Plouf alleges that Demp.
sey told one Miss Carrie Shears that
Plouf had questioned the virtue of herself
and sister, and that Dempsey had induced
her to attempt to cowhide him. He

her, but admits having told her he was
informed that Pouf had slsndered her.
He also accuses Plouf of hiring man to
do him up, and says a man one evening
sprang from the;brush with that intention,
but was scared off with a revolver. He

Cutting government Timber

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Feb. An the
United States district court today the
trial of ]. 81. Stone, accused of stealing
government timber from public lands In
Kootenai county, was commenced. Ow-
ing to the prominence of the accused the
courtroom was crowned. Stone appeared
In court accompanied by four attorneys.
He seemed self possessed and very conf
dent of acquittal. After some delay the
jury to try the case was secured. In his
opening statement, United States At.
torney Fremont Wood said he expected
to prove that Stone, during the years
1888, 1889 and 1890, cut and sold many
millions feet of government timber,
contrary to law. Simon Oppenheimer,
president of the Spokane Mill Company,
testified that Stone had contracted to
furnish the company 30,OOO,O0O feet OF
sawlogs, and that the logs were duly de-
livered. M. ]. Haley, special timber
agent, who worked half dozen or more
cases against Mr.. Stone, was too i'll to
testify today. He will take the stand
tomorrow.

was found upon investigation to have
come from San Francisco without hay !.
ing cleared from that port The only

explicit information on the subject, and
after this has been received Collector
Wasson will decide on what acticn he

The Opposition Boat.

WHITE SALMON, Wash, Feb 8, '92.
Editor TINES -MoUNrAISEER:
We hear the question on all sides "WhY
are the citizens line of boats tied up?" Is
il because of ice in the rlvers Or have
they been tied up on account OF losing
| money. We all know it ls not on account
| of ice, hence it must be the latter, and il
50 we appeal to you 20 inform US wherein
this line of boats is one mite better than
that so called ''soullesz corporation"-the
Union Pacific,
Last winter the Union Pacific tied up
its boats because they were not paving
expenses and in trying to protect their
own interests. The people of The Dales
as well as those on the Washington side
of the river censured them for it. The
cry went up tive will build our own
boats; we will run them for the benefit of
the people, regardless of what it might
cost, ETC." This all sounded very well
and we were happy to know that some of
willing to lose it to help their poorer
neighbors out of hole, as it were. 1t
now looks very much as if the agitators
OF this scheme went into 1t for the pur
pose of making money and finding their
steamboat ability was but "skin deep"
they shut down lest they should ''dIop
their little wa5."
1t is no more than right that a man or
a corporation finding themselves losing
money IN a business adventure to get out
of it soon as he can, and while we don't
blame the stockholders of the citizens
do blame them for taking up the cwdge5
against the Union Pacific for doing just
what they themselves are row guilty of.
The masses do not al rule patronize
steamboats, or railroads unless they are |
10. Therefore, If at certain |
of the year the Legitimate busi-
ness of the country will not support a
company you cannot ex-
pect the people to support it, when they
have nothing to support it with.
On the other hand the people cannot
ask a transportation COM
oany to ruE at loss merely to accommo-
late few who are unable or unwilling
% put up portion of ,he deficits.
Since our eyes have been opened to
stern reahty-and we we'll know there
ire none of us here for our healih---we
will hereafter patronize the company who
loes the best by us and gives us the most
or our money. There is no doubt in our
minds the Union Pacific are awake and
ully realize the fact that by treating US
airiy and squarely we will be only too
,lad to reciprocate, as We recognize in
his company the same spirit OF progress
Iveness as is noticeable in all other large
against the lack of enter
rise of class who take every dollar In
light, but who are afraid to venture over
dollar of their own money against a
housand or more dollars of their poorer
eighbors SUFFERER.

Had Hearts of stone.

ST PETERSBURG, Feb 2.aCount Tolstoi
says that the grain now in Russia will not
last until spring, and that it will be necessary
to import gram from America. Merchants
are unwilling to inform the government of
their stocks, as they wish to retain all they
can for higher prices. This has caused some
acts of severity on the part of the government
authorities. In Kief merchant who was
shown to have deceived the authorities as to
the amount he had in stock was publicly ex-
posed in front of his own store, tied up by the
thumbs to the lantern post. His stock was
confiscated, ard he was sentenced in addition
to six months imprisonment. Other mechants
suspected of concealing grain for higher
prices have been threatened with similar
penalties.

The ''Gesang Verein" Ball.
From Thursdays Daily.


The second annual ball of the Gesang
Verein of this city, last night at Wingate's
hall, attracted a large conconrse OF ladies
and gentlemen, and was very successful in
every particular. From the first number of
the programme to the last there was not a
jar IN the proceedings, and the music, fur
nished by Prof. BirgfeId's orchestra, was
very excellent. The musical renditions by
the Vereia, .'Des Deutschen Vaterland" and
"Wanderlast," was pleasing feature of the
entertainment, and an agreeable interlude to
Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and
Wagner, understand the art of music, goes
without saying, and that those grand old
German songs which breathe fervor and
patriotism, appeal to the higher feelings of
our citizens, is also true. Whenever ma
ton of musicians give.forth its soul in song,
there are certain to be appreciative llsten-
ers. and this is always true of every concert
given by our German residents. The Gesang
Verein has been in existence a little over
two years, and, during that time, among
this people, with whom harmony and mel
ody are hereditary, very excellent vocalists
have been developed. We hope, at no dis
tant day, the Verein will favor the citizens
of The Dalles with a concert, at which all
will be privileged to listen to the strains of
the songs of faterland.

No Grounds for a Protest.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Further infor-
nation received at the state department
shows that no good ground exists for a
protest on account of the action of the
Mexican authorities who searched tine
residence of the agent of the United
States at Mier, the other day, for arms.
1t seems that Don Enrico VIzzsya, the
official in question, is not a citizen of the
United States and has not been at his
post at Mier for several months. He has
been living at Matamoras, and it was his
house there, and not the official building
at Mier, which was searched. He is,
moreover, only commercial agent and
not consul. No action is likely to be
taken by this government in view of
these facts.

It Makes A Difference Whose Ok Is
Gored,

Hempill, the able free trade editor of the
Neacs and Courier, Charleston, South Caro-
lima, is feeling sore, because our American
cotton manufacturers are buying so largely
OF Egyptian cotton, 10000 bales having
been shipped aud sold here at II cents per
pound, which is much cheaper than Caro-
lima cotton, but full as good and completes
with it. Mr.. Hempill thinks it is shame
for our Americans to buy so largely of rice
produced in China and the product of cheap
labor. He says, that Yankees have tariff
against Canada grown corn, wool, barley
and wheat, and he don't see why 1--WE Rebs
can't haye tariff against Chinese and
Egyptians and the products of their cheap
labor" There is no doubt that the devel-
opment of the immense volume of natural
resources of the south for ten years to
come, will make them glad supporters of
home interests

is that it is too shallow for quite dis

Oregonian: The many friends of Charles
S. Miller, here and throughout the state,
who sympathized with him In his long
struggle IN the courts to get possession of
his mine and mill at Granite, will be pleased
to know that he has his mill, which is of
ten stamps, running in good shape and Is
turning out bullion to the benefit OF himself
and the district. Three silver bricks of S57
ounces each and Of aggregate value of 3d.
1913. A were sent in from this mill to Baker
City few days since. This bullion was
from twenty FIVE tons of ore from the Nor
rIs mine, the original discovery claim of the
Greenhorn mountain section. 1t has always
been claimed by miners who have prospect
cd the Greenhorn district that it was bound
to be cne of the richest camps in the coun-
try when developed. and the output above
mentioned . goes to show that these predic-
tions were correct, and during the coming
summer it is probable a large amount of
bullion will be sent out of this district.

Part of the property in question lies along

the property was donated, and that as
consequence the titles have reverted to the
city. The plant of the American Water
