the Columbia at that place s .nday, and
Smith & McAllIster's sheep on Tuesday
Mr.. OLeary lost twenty sleep from poison,
which they ate between Waseo aud the Co

yesterday, identified and buried. This,
with the Indian woman who was found in

Mr.. J. R. Cook Informed US this morn
lug that he CAPTURED double. headed lizard
near his farm on Chenoweth creek one day
this week. The strangest feature about the
monstrosity was, MIR. Cook says, that the

"Dead-horse" sales are sometimes quite

The friends of the Indians who were
drowned opposite Arlington few days ago
have been very ANXIOUS to find the bottles
for the reason that, according to aborigIne
law, If 1t may be termed such, no division
of the property can be made until the re-
mans are buried. One of them was found
this morning III the Columbia, and this will
cause her property to be diyided among rel
atives aud friends; but until the bodies of
the others are tounG and buried, their
properly will remain in statu quo. Even
Indians haYe some sense of right and justice
in such matters.
