Running a Muck.

The little town of Dufur, was the
scene of a case of assault and battery on
a large scale yesterday afternoon. A
hitherto peaceable citizen, having an
extra load of ''benzine" in his carcass,
imagined he could run the town. Be
coming angry with his wife he knock
ed her down. and another woman in
The town by this time became consid-
erably excited, and several persons
surrounded the house, but he remained
master of the situation, until Sheriff
Driver happened to arrive at Dufur,
when he placed the man under arrest.
AS soon as the sheriff had him in
charge he broke down and begged not
to be arrested. He was kept under
surveillance during last night, and it
is not known whether he was prose
cuted for the offence this morning.
This was an unusual occurance In our
Quiet little neighboring town, and II
is not expected to happen again.

THE STORY CONFIRMED.
A Terrible Revenge for a Horrible Grim

a terrible Revenge Tor o Horrfble Crime.
MADISON, Fla, May 2O.-There is
no longer any doubt that Sam Echols,
Sim Crowley and John Brooks, the
negroes who outraged and murdered
Miss Armstrong, in Lafayette county,
were f1ayed and burned. A man who
has just reached here from Lafayette
county says the belief is general that
the negroes were tortured to death.
One man who ventured into the swamp
nto which the negroes were carried
asserts that he found the place where
the negroes were put to death. He
says that it was evident that the me-
groes were lied to trees and the skin
stripped from them with knives. Then
wood was heaped about the bleeding
forms, the match applied and the
wretches were soon dead. This man
says that he found some strips of skin
about the place, which bears out the
assertion that they were flayed. Every
thing is quiet in Lafayette county, and
there is no fear of trouble between the
races. The better class of negroes de-
nounce the outrage and murder of Miss
Armstrong as bitterly as the whites.
Twelve negroes have now been lynch
ed in six months, and 1t would seem
that the horrible fate of the last three
should prevent further attacks upon
white women. The whites have form
ed band and are determined to pro-
tect their wives and daughters.

MORTALITY WOUNDED.
G. C. Steele Shot by C. L. Halbert In
North Yakima.

NORTH Yakima.
NORTH YAKIMA, WASH, May 18-
Clarence G. Steele was shot and NOR
tally wounded this evening by G. L.
Halbert. The trouble arose over Hal
bert paying attention to Mrs. Steele,
who seemed to reciprocate the affec-
tion. There had been considerable
quarreling on this account, and Steele
had twice charged his wife with inf
deity. Tonight he followed her,
when she went to gather vegetables,
and witnessed meeting between the
two. He called Halbert the most Of
fensive of names, and the latter picked
up rock and struck Steele on the hip.
Steele also reached for rock, and,
while he was in STOPPING position,
Halbert drew his pistol and fired. The
bullet took effect in Steele's left arm.
In his ante-mortem statement, Steele
said he realized he was dealing with a
desperate man; so, after he was shot in
the arm, he threw rock with all his
force, striking Halbert on the head.
For this he received bullet wound in
the breast, which DR.. Frank, the at
tending surgeon, says will be fatal.
Prosecution Attorney Englehart secur-
ed full statement of the difficulty
from the dying man. Halbert is now
in Jail, but denies that he shot Steele
or had revolver.

In Ninety Days.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-Colonel
and Mrs. John Bradbury, of Los An
geles, will leave on Saturday for Hon.
olulu. This will be his first stopping
place on their trip around the world,
which must be made in 80 days-ten
more than Phineos Fogg, Jules
Verne's hero, had at his disposal. 1t
is said that the trip is the result of a
bet made by the amiable young mil
ionaire with some of his friends that
he and his wife and sisters can make
the trip via the Suez canal in the time
mentioned. The reason for the 90-day
trip are said to be two; one that as
executor of the Bradbury estate, one of
the richest in the west, Colonel Brad
bury cannot be out of the state over 80
days without forfeiting his position
and the second is that he has
made bets amounting to upwards of
S15, 900 with members of the California
club in Los Angeles that he will
succeed

UNION MEN WON A VICTORY.
A Lumber-Laden Vessel Unloaded at Reg
ular Rates.

CLEVELAND, O., May 2O.-One hun
dred and twenty-five lumber-shovers
went to the Cleveland Sawmill and
Lumber Company's dock this morning,
armed with clubs and stones, to pre-
vent the lumber steamer Gettysburg be-
ing unloaded by nonunion men. Their
leaders had failed to make terms with
the captain of the vessel, who told
them he had arranged to have the boat
unloaded by another gang at less than
scale prices, The union men congre-
gated at the dock early this morning,
prepared to drive out the nonunionists.
Frank Wentz, an employe of. the mill,
was mistaken for nonunion man and
viciously attacked and was numerically
clubbed. He was removed to the hos.
pital in unconscious condition. When
the police arrived the mob had disap-
peared. Later the union men un-
loaded the boat at the regular scale Of
prices.

Horse Meat.

This article of food is not popular in
this country yet; but those who have
tasted it pronounce 1t first-class.
When the fishing season is over II the
demand is sufficient our canneries may
be kept busy preparing the surplus
and worthless cayuses on the range for
food. So far as the samples have been
tested good reports have been received
of the delicacy of the favor OF this
meat, and some prefer it to beef. II 1t
developes as expected it may furnish a
cheap article of diet, and thus reduce
the cost of living. In this and other
places there is prejudice against
horse meat, by reason Of it being not
an accustomed article of food; but
when it becomes used no doubt it will
be relished.

Fatal SHOOTING.
Ono mau Killed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Has Since Died OF His Wounds.

Obituary.

Although we must all die, yet death
seems saddest when it takes from a
household one of it's brightest jewels,
as was verified at Mappsburg, Va, ON
September eth, when the death an
gel called Sallie, aged 5 years,6 months
and days, daughter OF Joshua II.
and E. Kate Turner, after an illness
of three days, of peritonitis. Sallie
was remarkably bright and inter
esting child, the light of the house
hold and favorite with her little
playmates. To her relatives and
friends, especially to the sorrow
stricken parents was this mysterious
dispensation of Providence sad, sud
den blow, but we trust it all to Him
who is ''too wise to err, too good to
be unkind," knowing that some day
we'll understand" May we all be
prepared to meet her in that world
of bliss, where sorrow and death
never enter.
We had five little rosebuds once,
Ones gentle spirit fled;
She's sleeping now with Jesus,
Among the silent dead.
Sad, sad it was for us to part,
But let us not complain;
For Jesus whispers in our hearts,
That we shall meet again.
