Bow Tramps.

There were two boys picked up on our
streets yesterday afternoon, who require
more than passing notice, and who should
elicit the sympathy of all hamanitarians in
this city. They gave the names of Charles
and Frank Williams. aged II and l3 years,
and have Travelled across the continent from
Chicago. The elder has his right foot am
putated and walks on crutch. In conver-
sation with them this morning the younger
informed a reporter of the TIMES. MOUNT.
AINEER that both parents were dead, the
father dying about two years ago, and the
mother about five months since., They are
boot-blacks, and on the death of their
mother they took the train tor the far west
to meet an only brother, who IS working
in railroad shop in Portland. Railroad
men were kind to them and passed them on
the road from one station to another. They
are not criminals now; but without some
care is taken of them, circumstances will
force them to do something which may
place them in Jail or the penitentiary. Our
county judge was consulted IN the matter,
and without doubt they will be sent to
the boys and girls home in Portland. This
is the proper place for them, where they
Will receive proper instructions regarding
their morals and be taught some useful
trade

Grand Dalles Again.

The fake on the other side of the river
still lives in the minds of some eastern
people, and the following letter was re.
ceiyed in this city yesterday from person
residing at Smiths Ferry, Beaver county,
Penn:
Please give information In regard to price
of lots In Grand Dalles on Washington side
of Columbia river.
Is irrigation necessary to grow crops? If
you cannot give the desired information,
please give the address of some of Grand
Dalles syndicate. 1 noticed in an article in
the Ohio Farmer that one gentleman of the
syndicate resided ID The Dalles; but gaye
no name or address. My object is to locate
in a climate where the winters are not so
long and severe. Yours truly,

Albany, Oregon. Their names are D. q.

golddust, and Patterson "a pounds of gold
dust. Mr.. Hunt has sister near Albany !;
White has an uncle between Halsey and
Albany; DIR. Patterson's people live near
Portland 1t is feared that they perished
in the storm; the snow storm setting in the
next day after they left for Canyon City.
They had only two days provisions with
them, and they must have perIshed. Pat
terson had only returned from the valley
two days before he left for Canyon City.
He had just sold part of his mining claim
for good price, and just received letter
from an attorney to meet him in Albany on
business, and that was the cause of his an.
dertaking to go through. He is very we'll
known in Oregon being pioneer of 1852.
Hunt was pioneer of California, in lS49.
White of 1856 in California There has
been inquiries in all directions and they
have not been heard from.

A Novel Sight.

The novel sight was presented on the
streets this morning of woman, tolerably
well dressed, in appearance intelligent and
respectable, with boy about ten or twelve
years old In her company, begging for funds
to take her to Spokane, where she claimed
her husband resides; but from whom she
has not heard for some time. She was
about 80 or 35 year old, and said she had
been sick in Portland for some time past,
and was just able to make the Journey.
The citizens of The Dalles are, without ex-
ception, hospitable; but there are certain
elements connected with this case which
are not consistent with honesty of motives.
If she has not heard from her husband for
some time, and she sick for several weeks,
it is not at all likely she will meet with an
affectionate welcome if perchance she meets
him in Spokane. She literally took in the
city in wholesale manner, and slighted no
place, saloons or blacksmith shops. There
is commendable virtue in relieving distress
in whatever shape 1t NAV appeal to US; but
In helping humbugs we ait deception and
help those who prey on the community.

A Ohinaman Stabbed.

A Chinaman by the name of Now Hoy
was killed in wash house in Pendleton
Tuesday evening. The following are the
facts as cleaned from the columns of the
East Oregonian: "Mow Hoy was member
of the order of Chinese Masons. He had,
eight months ago, run laundry in Adams.
OF late he had been in the employ Of. Wun
Sing, and the latter for some time back had
been unable to pay him the wages due.
After the 'habitants' of the laundry had
disposed of their evening meal, Now Hoy
renewed his demand for his money, and
Wun Sing, suddenly becoming euraged,
drew one of those ugly double edged dirks,
exclaimlng in Chinese, I'll pay you this
way and plunged the steel into his en-
ployes breast. The dirk point entered above
the heart and made wound, according to
DR.. Vincent's measurements, one and one
half inches wide, and five inches deep. The
doctor stated that had the point struck
three-sIxteenths OF an inch to either side a
rib would have stayed It's progress. Now
Hoy lived only few minutes after the fatal
blow was struck"

attached to a wagon was tied in front of

this afternoon, when they became fright
ened and pulled themselves loose. taking
down Second street at rapid rate. They
ran isto 3 wagon tied in front of Mr.. C..
Schmidt's grocery store, bending the wheels
out of shape, and breaking the gearing and
the hound attached to the tongue. They
still continued rampant until the wagon
they were hauling was completely wrecked
by the spokes being broken out of the front
wheel and the fellows and tire entirly sep.
arated from the hub. Fortunately no one,
or even the horses were injured, and Mr..
Steggman consoles himself with saying it
might have been worse. He Is "a wagon
maker, and the damages will soon be re.
paired. As he lives at Hartland, WASH, it

Shot by Burglars.
w w. Statesman


A dispatch was received from Pullman
to-day by Blackman Bros, of this city
giving news of the burglary of their store
in that place last night and the shooting
of their clerk. A. B. Cooper. while en-
deayoring to defend the property of his
employers. Particulars are very meagre,
but it seems that Cooper occupied room
in the rear of the store. He was awak-
ened about o'clock A. M. by noise in
the store, and was confronted by burglars,
who covered him with their pistols.
Showing disposition to resist, he was
shot down. The result of his wounds
have not yet been telegraphed, but 1t is
supposed they were fatal.
Cooper came to Walla Walla from the
east last winter, and was employed by
Blackman Bros, to clerk in their store at
Pullman. Mr.. McKeen, partner, went
TO Pullman ON Saturday last and was
there when the tragedy occurred. He
will return this evening on the 7:10 train.

The law governing the return Of fees and

is accordingly denied.
