draw no consolation from the reports
concerning the stage of the river above
us. While the Snake is at stand and
Umatilla reports the Columbia also at a
stand, we know that there is more
coming. The dispatches of the 29th say
the Frazier river is the highest ever
known and this indicates very warm
weather at the head of the Columbia.

The Last of Hayes.

Justice Brigham of Dufur, held an in
quest on the body of Hayes Monday.
DIR. Dietrich of Dufur made an examina-
ton of the body and after hearing his
testimony the jury brought in the fol-
lowing verdict.
seWe the undersigned jurors, sum-
moned. to sit upon the body of the man
found on Fifteen Mile Greek some
twenty miles, more or less, above Dufur,
after examining the surroundings and
listening to the report of the physician,
making the post mortem examination,
do find as follows: That deceased was
known as Jack Hayes. That the wound
in his abdomen was accidentally caused,
but that the wound on his Uranium was
the direct cause of his death, and was
made by one or the other of his COM
panions, whom all evidence points out to
US to be John Hawthorne and Walter
Rowe. We, therefore, do charge said
Rowe and Hawthorne, one or both of
them, with the crime of murder.

The doctors examination disclosed q
bullet wound in the groin, the bullet
striking the upper edge of the pelvic
bone glancing along it for several inches,
striking the back bone and finally stop
ping just under the skin. The bullet
was concave on the side where it had
followed the pelvic bone, and was a
short ball, fired from a pistol or at
least so the ball indicates by its grooves.
Another wound in the back of the head
must have caused death instantly. The
bullet entered at two inches above, and
an inch back of the right ear, coming
out an inch or SO above the corner of the
left eye. The body was lying on its
back when found, the head propped up
on a shoe, and was evidently in that
position when the fatal shot was fired
The doctor extracted the bullet from the
pistol of ,the deceased for comparison
with that taken from the body, and
found that the latter was 63 grains
| lighter than the former. The hair was
not powder burned and the bullet that
produced death could not have beer
! fred by the deceased.

Three Men Killed and Several More
Badly Wounded.
Troy. N. Y, March Ga municipal
election is being held here today. This
afternoon Robert Ross, a republican
polls watcher, was shot dead and his
brother William mortally wounded.
About 1870 this afternoon a row
broke in the First district of the Thir-
teenth ward. The Malloy men, it was
stated by republicans, were running in
repeaters. Among the republican
watchers were Robert Ross and his
brother William. They grabbed a
couple of men being showed forward to
vote. During the fracas three or four
shots were fired. When the reserve
police finally restored order, Robert Ross
was found lying dead on the ground
with a pistol wound in his head and
William near by fatally hurt. Several
others we're in bad shape, many being
pounded until their faces were unrec-
ognizable. On the oppoite side of the
street, was BAIT" Shea, a democrat,
lying dead in the gutter. The Malloy
men claim that the shots were fired by
the police, who admit using clubs and
revolvers, but the ~bystanders say that
pistols were drawn before the police
took a hand. 1t is understood that
BAIT" Shea himself did the shooting
and was in turn shot by one of the Ross
brothers. Shea was a notorious char
acter.

WASHINGTON. March Chill of New
York, presented "A resolution in the
senate setting forth as there was an.
nounced a deficit of S7S,OOO,OOO for the
current fiscal year, and as the Wilson
bill proposes to discard that much
revenue from the tariff and meet the
double deficiency by internal taxa.
ton, the finance committee be directed to
frame an amendment to the bill emitting
the proposed new internal taxes
and make instead a provision for sufi-
cient revenue by a tariff on other for
eighn imports, and otherwise reviying
the tariff without creating a deficiency.
Harris of Tennessee, moved the
second reading of the seigniorage bill.
In doing SO he said no one was a more
earnest advocate of silver coinage than
he, but there was one question he
thought which should take precedence,
and without a breach of confidence he
could state that the finance committee
was on the verge Of reporting the tariff
bill to the senate. He therefore object
ed to further proceedings on the
seigniorage bill and under that OBJ
lection it should have to go to the
calendar.
