PATRIOIDE.
e, w. wilhelm. a Farmer on Ten
Mile, Killed BY His Son.
From SATURDAYS Daily

From SATURDAYS Daily
News of terrible tragedy reached the
city this morning, IN which E. W. Will
helm, farmer living on lower Fifteen Mile,
was killed by his son Hermann. As soon
as aware of the facts Coroner Eastwood left
for the scene of the tragedy to hold an in
quest over the remains. He was accom-.
panied by DIR. H. Logan, who went to per-
form an autopsy If net essary. The doctor
returned about o'clock this afternoon, and
he left before the verdict was rendered or
witnesses heard. The affray occurred at
7 o'clock last evening, and Hermann
and his father were quarrellIng when the
old gentleman grabbed gun. At this the
young man beat him oyer the head with a
stick, inflcting fatal injuries. Around the
base of the brain in front the skull is fracA
tured in many places, clearly proving that
he had been struck several times. The in
iuries were such that an autopsy was not
deemed necessary. and there cannot be the
least doubt that they produced death. 1t
was in evidence that during the melee the
son dragged the father down stairs into the
cellar, alleging that he did not want to
shock his mother, and afterwards pulled
him up.
Hermann Wilhelm is the oldest son of
Mr.. E. W. Wilhelm, is married, has two
children, and is from 80 to 35 years of age.
He was living on the old homestead, on
lower Fifteen Mile, about twelve miles from
The Dalles, but the father still retained the
title to tie property, although it was gener-
ally understood that the old gentleman
would relinquish 1t soon to Hermann. For
several years past there has feen i'll feeling
between the father and mother-who IS an
inYalid-and 1t was reported to-day that
daring moments of anger Wilhelm had heat
his wife. Since last fall he has lived IN the
city-only going out occasionally to the
farmland has begun the erection of
dwelling house in Thompson's addition. He
is over sc years old, and has three other sons
and one daughter, two of whom are mar
ried.
The tragedy produced shock in this
as the family have lived in this
vicinity for long time, and have always
been highly respected for honesty and in.
dustry. Those who have lived neIghbors to
the boys for many years past say they are
peaceable and industrious, and not inclined
in the least to pick quarrels with any one.
The young man who committed the terrible
deed read the Declaration of Independence
at the celebration at the residence of Mr..
and was very highly esteemed
by the community. Until the fatal tragedy
of last night, no skeleton was known to be
hidden in the Wilhelm family, except, per-
haps, the difficulty that existed between
the father and mother, and,this was gener.
ally considered too sacred to be canYassed
BY those who had proper respect for the
members of the household.
A full statement of the facts cannot be
until the inquest is held and the
coroner returns, and up to the time OF 60
ing to press he had not arrived from the
country.

A Mistake.

Our cotemporary of last Saturday pub
lished the following: SIT now develops
that the ten head of horses reported in
Thursdays Chronicle as being shipped to
Portland by the Bolton boys were stolen
property. simultaneously with their
shipment II. L. Fireman missed ten head
of horses from his stock corral, and in-
qulry at The Dalles led him to follow the
band. He found them at Albina in the
charge of one of the shippers. He Sc
cured his property and brought one of the
horses back with him" This was evil
IDENTIFY an error, for the Bolton bows are
well known in the vicinity In which they
reside, and their honesty has never been
doubted. The following from the Port
land Telegram may give an explanation
to the matter: IAN attachment suit was
commenced in Justice McCulloch's court
by Milton Freeman, of Wasco county,
against j. A. and Lawrence Walton 10 re-
cover the sum OF 500, alleged to be due
for pasturing nine head of horses, the
horses being attached. The horses were
driven from the pasture without the own
ers making settlement, which, according
to the Oregon statutes, made them liable
to arrest tor larceny. This charge was
booked against them also. Yesterday
morning the cases came up, but the de-
PENDANTS settled the matter by paying the
claim and the costs of the cases."

WHAT rs THE REAsoN2

An eastern exchange, in viewing the
present situation, publishes the follow
ing reasons for the depression of trade
now felt all over the country:
"Why are things thus2 The coun-
try to-day has all the elements of pros
perity that it had in 1892. 1t is as
full of grain, its iron and coal mines
are as rich as ever, its mills and fac
tories are as numerous, its facilities Of
transportation, its available domestic
capital as large. Why is capital tlmid
and indolent9 Why is grain selling
for next to nothing9 Why are mines
unworkedY Why are mills and fac
tories smokeless2
SIN November, 1892, an event took
place that disturbed the confidence of
those whose movements give life to
trade, to agriculture, to manufactures,
to mining and to transportation. A
body of men met in convention and
resolved that the system of protection
that had given birth and nurture to
American manufactures, and that had
encouraged American agriculture, was
unconstitutional, and must be abro-
gated; sfree-trade,' as understood in
England was to supersede protection
as the word is understood in America.
"The first visible effect came from
English action. The streams of British
gold that we're flowing into this coun-
try in exchange for our farm produce,
or for investment in protected Ameri-
can industries, ceased wholly as to the
latter, and diminished as to the former.
During the financial year of 1892, a
Republican and protectionist year, we
received more than $200,000,000 from
Europe in excess of our payments to
it, ami this does not include the mil
lions invested in mines, railways,
lands and factories. In the financial
year of 1898, Democratic and promis-
sorry of free-trade, Europe will receive
something like $100,000,000 from US,
and this over and above all payments
made to US from that quarter.
''Is it wonderful that gold is scarce2
"Congress cannot avoid the tariff
issue. 1t is the issue. If the free
trade clauses of the Democratic plat.
form were framed only to deceive, con-
fesslon of the fraud must be made that
confidence may be restored If they
were made in good faith the country
should have fair warning from congress
of its intention of revolutionary legis-
lation, in order that it may prepare
itself as best it may for panic. In
either event congress is charged with |
the plain duty of speaking in unmis-
taxable terms as to its tariff inten-
tions. While there is uncertainty as
to these there cannot be full revival
of prosperity; no, not though every
coinage Law on the statute books be
repealed or amended"

ASPEN, Colo, July 10-President An
