city Jail, and that whlle IN the ''cooler" he
made confession to Democrat reporter

city, identified the man aud took him to
the scene of his crime to stand trial
Wednesday evening Chief Mcclure re.
ceiyed letter from Sheriff Deets, under
date of April Stb, IN which that gentleman
says in reference to the King case: 'Perry
Kings case has come to close The Jury
only found him guilty of manslaughter In
the third degree and the law of this state
makes that offense only three years in the
penitentiary. In my judgment he should
have been found guilty of murder IN the
first degree, as he is very bad man."
Sheriff Deets closed by sending his regards
to all with whom be became acquainted dur.

Items From Dufur.

DUFUR, April II, 1893.
Editor TINES s-MoUNTAISEER
The new mayor and conncIlmen were
sworn in last Monday. Mayor Dutur, on
taking the chair, thanked the people for the
honor conferred upon him. Stated that he
had been among the first to cast his LIT in
the vicinity; had harvested a crop where
the principle business houses Of the town
now stands. All his interests were in Dufur,
and he had confidence that IN the future, as
In the past, all would work fer the common
good While for protection ne believed it
was well to incorporate, he advised that the
authority vested Re used as sparlnglY as
could be consistent with safety and pros
perity. That it was true with cities as with
nations, those governed least were governed
best That laws must not be made just for
the sake of law making; but with the good
of the entire community in view at all
times.
A number of ordinances OF Importance
were considered and acted upon. The bonds
of recorder and treasurer were fled and ap-
proved.
E. C. Warren was elected marshal.
Duiur is fortunate in selecting council.
Each aud every one of them are men who
have always taken an active part in max
ing prosperous town, rot afraid to invest
their money for the general good and being
among the heaviest taxpayers are certain to
look carefully before expeuding the peoples
money.
County Surveyor Sharp will. this week.
plat the new addition on the north of the
town for Messrs. Vanderpool & Johnston,
and then the good work will go on in
earnest. KENO.

Editor TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
Permit me, through your columns. to co.,
rect wrong Impression which seems 10
have been created in my moving an amend
ment to Mr.. Maier's motion at the meeting
of the firemen, held last night IN the city
council chambers. My amendment was to
defer for few days the matter OF inviting
the veteran firemen to hold their annual
convention here iu September, IN order that
general meeting of citizens could be held,
to determine whether they would support
and assist the iremen in having tourna-
ment (which has been under discussion for
over year, of the Northwest Firemen's
Association, to be held at the same time and
in conjunction with the above named con.
veption, and not to suppress the entertain
ment of the veterans. as was conveyed to
the public by some of those who were pres
ent at the meeting. Instead, however, I
believe it to be, not only matter OF cour-
tesy, but incumbent on our firemen to en-
tertain the veterans in becoming manner,
as they four boys) were entertained by the
Portland department last year, and it was
then decided to hold their next annual
meeting in Dalles City.
Yours respectfully,

Fishermen s.,,l DISSATISFIED.

ASTORIA, April IA majority of the fish
ermen were out yesterday and the previous
night, but report the catch very light. There
Is still some dissatisfaction among those who
wanted to be paid $I.I5 per fish, and whether
this feeling will develop into any serious
trouble is yet probematical. Groups of fish
ermen might have been seen near Uniontown
yesterday discussing the situation, denouncing
those who accepted the cannerymen's offer of
S cenis per pound. The $I.I5 men claim
that the meeting Saturday was packed in the
interest OF those who wanted to fish for cents
per pound, and that the decision Of the meet
ing did not voice the sentiments of a majority
of the members of the union 1t was said
today that a movement was on foot among
the men tlshing for the Kinney, Cutting and
Elmore canneries to form union wholly in
dependent OF tie Columbia River Fishermen's
Protective Union, and that there is no pros
pect of reconciliation between the factions
in the latter organization.

An eastern exchange SAYS:


man, an American, too, Massachu-
setts man and Union soldier that went
wrong, diabolically wrong, died last
week in a cheap hotel in New York's
Bowery. He was Dyer D. Lum, rank
anarchist, and the associate editor
whom Parsons urged to continue the
publication of the Harm. 1t seemed
in Lum's blood to want to change the
social order by force, and to this end
he contributed as few Americans have
ever been found erratic and blood
thirsty enough to do. Registering a.

was very properly identified by those
wolves of broken teeth, Justus Schwab

TELEGRAPHIo NEWS.
The Earth Trembled.

ATHENS, April 1.-THE island of
Zantr, one of the principal Of the Ionian
group, was visited by mcst destructive
earthquake this morning. A great part
of the city of Zante is destroyed. The
people are paoic-stricken, the authori-
ties helpless, an3 the streets blocked
with debris of wrecked houses. So far
90 bodies have been taken from the
ruins. II is feared many more are still
buried. Hundreds are injured. Most
of the inha bitants have fed to the plains
back of the city, where they wander
about bemoaning the loss OF relatives and
property by recent earthquakes Tents
have been taken to Zante to shelter the
homeless, and are again set up as shel
ter tor women and children. The city is
a scene of utter dcsolation, and 1t is doubt
fui if It ever RECEIVERS from the series
disasters which have recently befallen 1t
There will be great drs,ltu,ion, and out
side help IS urgently needed.
The shock occurred at 1880 NJ. Most

be unsafe for occupancy. The church of
St. DIonysius and the government offices
were thrown down. Adgices from the

great News of the disaster comes IN

A warsn1p will be dispatched from Pr

Under Arrest for Murder.

Some time since a dispatch stated that
Frank Hickey had been arrested in Montana
or murder committed in 1889 IN Arkana
sas, and was taken back by sheriff to that
state to stand trial tor the crime. Nothing
was thought of the matter until SATURDAY.
night when letter was received in this city
directed to Mr.. VIM. Graham, formerly
proprietor of a restaurant, and il not in the
city to be opened by Col. N. B. Sinoott.
from Francis Hickey Bowen. The letter
that the writer was imprisoned for mur-
der committed there on January %, 1889,
and asking for persons who knew him here
during that year to make out their aEidavits
and forward them Immediately to his attor-
neys, Messrs. Moses & Reid. Bowen claims
that it Is conspiracy against his life, and
that he was never in Arkansas until brought
there by the sheriff for the crime named.
He mentions persons for whom he worked
IN this city during 1888 and 1889, and
places here he roomed, which leave no
doubt IN the mind of those conversant with
the facts that It would have been impossrb lie
for him to have committed that or any other
CRIME in Arkansas. The cash books of the
Umatllla House have entries for Mr.. Bowen
as late as December 81, 1888, and after that
he worked for Mr. c. E. HaIght, then for
VIM. Graham, latter which he was proprietor
of the New England Kitchen on Court
street, adjoining the Wasco Sun Office. For
three months during this time he and his
wife roomed with Mrs. Eastwood, after
wards with Mrs. Rice, and later with Mrs.
Nolan. Mr.. Ben Bell, waiter az the Una
tilla House, says he worked with him in this
city January, February and March, 1889.
He was well known to many OF GU!
citizens, and his whereabouts were positively
known until July, 1889, when he moved to
Arlington. 1t may be possible that the real
murderer learned the facts and events from
Bowen and is trying to impersonate him te
prove an alibi; but this is not probable. To
settle this question beyond a doubt photo
graphs of the prisoner will be sent to TINS
city as soon as the atiidavIts are received,
and then 1t will be proved by those ac-
quainted with him whether the Francis
Hickey Bowen, now under arrest at Nor
riltop, Ark, is the Frank Bowen who lived
in The Dilles during almost year, com
prisiug the time at which the murder was
committed.

NOTHING FOR PAoIF1o STATES,

It is very evident that Oregon will
receive no consideration in federal ap-
pointments outside of the local offices,
and even the positions in Alaska may
90 elsewhere. The last two ministers
to Turkey have been Oregonlans, and
Col. r. A. Miller, who made such a
great personal sacrifice for the good of
the party last fall, had some reason to
hope that he would occupy palatial
residence in Constantinople for the
next four years; but man FROM Texas
has received this "plum" from the
Democratic pie. It seems that Mr..
Cleveland is ignoring the Pacific states,
and this is the way the San Francisco
Chronicle speaks about California:
"Our friends of the Democratic
party of California who, before the
election, depicted to themselves Grover
Cleveland as the very personl6cation
of good nature, good sense and broad
and enlightened views, are beginning
to change their minds. There Is a
noticeable depreciation of hilarity on
the back benches as the chief magis-
trate makes appointment after appoint
ment to federal positions of dignity,
trust and emolument, and California,
like the man who fell out of the bal
loon, is distinctly not in it.
"Cleveland has played on California
very much the same game he did eight
years ago. He has snapped at every
shred of difference and dissension in
the Democratic party and used it as
good and sufficient reason for shutting
out all Californian applicants for fed
eral positions outside the state The
Japanese ministry, for example, which
had come to be regarded as belonging
to California, goes to an Ohio man, the
presidents excuse being that there was
more than one applicant for the posi-
tion from this state.
"California cast the greater portion
of its electoral vote for Cleveland, and
naturally believed itself entitled to
some consideration in the distribution
of the Federal offices. Indeed, it was
asserted very roundly that this state
was to be represented in the cabinet,
but now, after Mr.. Cleveland has been
in office a month, the California De-
mocracy has been reduced to that de-
gree of humanity that it would accept
with gratitude a consulate to Terra
del Fuego, if there we're such an Office
in the gift of the president. From the
present outlook the Democrats of this
state will not get even smell of the
succulent viands which are being
cooked and served up in the Federal
kitchen at Washington"

BOISE, April 17-Some time ago E. W
Hadley, receiver of the Oregon Pacific,
wrote TO Mayor Pinney, of Boise, for
maps and other Information regarding
this section of the state. The request
was complied with. In letter ac
knowledging the receipt of the docu
ments, Mr.. HadIey says of the Oregon
Pacific

congregational Parish Meeting.

The annual parish meeting of the Con-
gregational church was held at the vestry
last evening.
Mr.. E. G. Pease was reelected trustee
snd A. r. Thompson, S. L. Brooks, j. M.
Patterson and j. NJ. Huntington elected
deacons.
The trustees were instructed to cooper
ate with the committee from the Ladies'
Aid Society in the construction of a fence
around the CHURCH property.
The members of the church and con-
gregation, and especially the Ladies' Aid
Society, have reason to feel satisfied over
their work for the last year, the Aid So
ciety having provided the entire funds for
the carpeting of the church, amounting
to $500, besides many other minor ex-
penses in the way of furnishings. A neat
fence will probably he constructed around
the church property In the next two
months.
The treasurer's report tor the fiscal year
ending April II, 1899, on pastors salary
