I IMPORTANT CAsE.-Long before
| Judge Fullerton took his seat on the
bench last Monday morning, the front
seats in the court room were occu
pied by number of elderly citizens,
anxious to hear the sensational and
disgusting details of an alleged rape
case. P. P. Prescott, reputable citl-
zen of Lower Alsea, was arrested last
June on complaint of Miss Aldrlch,
charged with rape. He had hearing
in the justice court, and was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury, who found an indictment ON the
testimony of Miss Aldlfch. The tes-
timony before tie petit jury was not
convincing enough to warrant them
in finding q verdict of guilty, and as a
consequence a considerable bill of
costs will be taxed up to the county,
all from a prosecution whose Object
was probably malice or blackmail.
The SAME CAprAIN.-Capt. Van
Alstine, whose wife owns a place
across the river from this city, and who
went to Portland recently, as usual
has been getting into trouble. There
are three charges. One for assault
with a dangerous weapon, another
with an attempt to commit crime,
and the third with resisting an officer.
He was bound over in the sum of
| $500 each on the first two and fined
for resisting an officer. Not having $50
| any money he is boarding in the Port
| tand city Jail. Van Alstiue now sails
| under the name Of Matthew Van OS-
trand. He will need the $4,000 he
has been expecting from the east for
some time.-Albany Democrat. This
same Van Alstine is well known in
| Corvallis where his reputation is none
too good.

fishing for the season is over on va

claim that there are plenty Of good fish
in the river, and they could make
pretty sun if allowed to fish as long
as their brethren ou the Columbia.
They claim that salmon commence
running here two or three weeks later
than they do in the Columbia, and by
that much their fishing season is cut
short. They are offered now one

they have been receiving, AMI it gals
them to be compelled by inexorable

-Four, out of the five members
of the famous Dalton gang of rob-
bers we're killed by the citizens of
Coffeyville, Kansas, while in the
act of robbing two banks of that
town, last week. Four citizens
were also killed by the robbers in
the fight, and several others were
wounded. The bank and Express
Companies throughout the coun-
try rejoice at the killing of the
Dalton boys, and contribute liber-
ally to fund for the relief of the

by said act 80 of 1888, and sold
them.
The charges in these sale are
what the Reveille showed as char
oes wade for selling delinquent
property. There is a vast differ
ence between the two, and there
is r vast difference made in the
charges of these different sales.
In the sales made under act 80,
of 1888, the charges are those
charged by the sheriff in making
judicial sales, and not those of the
tax collector in making tax sales.
We quote here the instructions
given sheriff Gardemal, by the
Auditor, viz: "In making sales
under Act 80 of 1883, for deeds
made By the Tdr Collector he is
entitled to the same costs uhich
are allo,ced by Ian to Sherifs in
judicial proceedings" The char
ges made in these sales under the
provisions of said act, are the
same as would be made had they
been judicial proceedings.
As to the mention made by the
Reveille that the decision of JUS
tice DeBlanc was on an exception,
and not on the merits of the case,
we will in our next issue show to
the public that the decision CO.
vered the exception as well as the
merits of the case and that the
decision is final.
The accusation of the Reveille
against ex-sheriff Gardemal, of ex-
tortion in Office, shows either the
ignorance or the malice of that
paper. Its accusation miscarried
and fell short of its mark.

Discovery Of America.

AttwO O'Clock In the morning Of Oct.
II. 1892, gun from the Pinta announce
cd the glad tidings that land was In
sight. At last! For this time the report
was happily true.
It was FIRST seen by a sailor named
Rodrigo de Triana; but the reward was
subsequently adjudged to Columbus as
he had seen light the night previous.
At daylight, the land was plainly visi-
BILE abous six miles Of, aud the great
mystery Of the western ocean was re-
vealed.
The squadron was brought to anchor
by signal from the flagship; aud the
boats were lowered. manned and armed.
Columbus entered his own boat rich ~
attired in scarlet, and bearing the royal
standard.
The captains Of the Pinta and Nina,
the Brothers Pinzon, put of In their
boats, each bearing a banner. emilia.
zoned with green cross, having on
each side the letters + and Y, Fernando
and ISABEL, surmounted by crowns.
Immediately on landing, Columbus
threw himself upon his knees, kissed the
earth, and with tears of joy devouted re-.
turned thanks to God. His example was
followed BY the rest.
Then. rising, Columbus drew his
sword, displayed the royal standard, and
In the name of the Sovereigns of Castillo
took possession Of the island, which he
named San Salvador Saint SaviOur.)
During these ceremonies the natives
Of the island stood aloof, gazing in silent
wonder and admiration at the strangers,
who they supposed had descended in
their winged barks from the skies.
The caravels had fulfilled their mis-.
sion. Humble instruments that they
were, they had enabled the great navi.
gator to confirm what was then deemed
his extravagant theory Of new route to
India.
Such, in brief, is the story of the car
avels. In a modest way the United
States government has sought to do
them honor, and their port of departure
has not been forgotten. They, together
with the great admiral, as we'll as the
humble sailor whose good fortune 1t
was to be the FIRST to see the land of
Western World. have all been remem.
bered. and their names perpetuated in
the United States navy list.

Only Truthful Facts.

In our issue of the first inst,
we gave some hints to the Reveille
in answering an article in which
it accused ex-sheriff Gardemal of
overcharging in his costs for the
delinquent tax-sales of 1889.
We thought at first that our
contemporary was guilty of gross
ignorance of the matter it was dis
GUESSING, or it was overwhelmed
with prejudice and malice. We
left openings for the Reveille to
put in its researches of facts; but
instead of investigating the mat
ter as it should have done, it sim
ply and innocently fell in the trap
that was set for It by the MEssEN-
GER; the proof, it's last article en-
titled only facts Only facts!
yes in the hollow imagination of
the innocent, or malicious Reveille.
The Reveille goes to work in
the records and brings figures of
the sales made by Sheriff Brous-
sard to show that those of sheriff
Gardemal were in excess, and pre-
tends to make the difference. The
Reveille is guilty of gross misre-
presentation of the facts. We
say the Reveille does not give the
facts, for if it did, it would not
have fallen in the trap set for it
by the MESSENGER, but would
have correctly Investigated the
matter it was trying to discuse,
and the result would be that it
would dropepd it without going
any further with it. The Reveille
finds great difference between
the charges made for tsx-sales by
sheriff Gardemal in 1889 and those
made by sheriff Broussard in 1886,
We again say that there is no diff
ference in the charges, and the
Reveille could have easily found
that out if it had the brain or the
good will to do SO. We repeat
the charges of tax-sales made by
sheriff Gardemal are the same as
those made by sheriff Broussard
and other sheriffs that preceded
him.
But what fooled the intelligent
and brainy Reveille, is that it did
not know. and perhaps does not
know yet, that the Legislature of
1888 passed an act, which is No,
80, directing the Sheriffs of the
parishes to proceed and sell the
which had been adjudi-
Gated to the State for unpaid tax
rs of 1880 and subsequent years.
Sheriff Gardemal accordingly ad-
vertised the property as directed

One Day In The Wood.

Sunday last, as usual, a large
number of our people, the anna
teurs of the p.scatorial sport Wen
ded their way towards Bayou
Alexandra, the fashionable resort
Of the season. Among those who
departed for the woods to enjoy q
day of sport and pleasure, were
Messrs. T. j. Liable, Chas. L. La
Gaze and A. j. Wilt. The trio of
amateur fishermen had everything
necessary to enjoy all the plea
sures this sport affords, and when
they arrived on the bank of the
famous bayou, they planted their
camp, unpacked their cooking un-
tensils, and then proceeded to the
bayou with rods in hand, deter
mined to pull from the limpid
waters of the running stream, a
quantity of the best and biggest
fish that the bayou furnishes.
Each one of the trio went his way,
to leisurely enjoy the sport, and
in his embition, Mr.. T. j. Liable,
went up the stream and from pond
to pond until he had filled his
string, when he began to think
about returning to the camp to
meet his friends, but to his sur
prise and establishment the bayou
was no more, he had gone 80 far
out in the wood that he did not
know where the camp was, he
then began to think that he was
lost and began to walk. trying to
find his way, but the more he
walked, the more he realized that
he was lost. The kept on walk
ing, across coulees, mud holes etc.
He finally looked at the sun and
saw that it was going towards the
horizon, when the idea struck
him, to walk in the direction of
the setting sun. After walking
five or six miles, and perhaps
more, he breathed q little more
freely, as he found himself in the
prairie and perceived in the dis
lance two little boys who were on
horse back; he went to them.
When he asked the boys where
he was they told him he was near
Petit Lake near the Portage, far
away from the fishing camp. He
followed the boys to their fathers
plantation, where he hired horse
and guide to bring him on the
road to Bayou Alexandra, where
he went to meet his companions
who were searching for him in
the wood. When the trio met
again, it was dark, so dark that it
was impossible to see their way
out of the wood, and they were
compelled to walk and light fires
to find their way out of the dark
ness of the wood.
Mr.. Liable conceived the idea
of putting to good use the skillet
that he had no opportunity to use
during day, and built a fire in it,
and used it as a torch and in this
way, were able to follow the road
and get out of the wood.
1t was half past ten o'clock
when the party reached here, Mr..
Liable was full of mud up to the
waist and almost exhausted from
his experience at the fishing party
at Bayou Alexandra.
