MURDER IN BAKER COUNTY.
John Preston Shot and Killed by T. Gold
worthy at the Virtue Mine.

/
worthy at the Virtue Mine.
The Baker City Democrat of May I'd
| has the following account of homi-
eide at the Virtue mine the day pre-
| vious:
''Thomas Goldworthy and John
Preston are miners, and have for a
long time past been employed at the
Virtue. Last evening they came in
from work and at the supper table en-
gagged in quarrel that soon became
very bitter. GSldworthy got up from
the table and left the dining room,
and from what afterward occurred he
must have went to his lodgings and
procured pistol. When Preston had
finished his meal and was just going
out of the door of the dining room,
Goldworthy opened fire upon him, five
shots in rapid succession startling the
whole camp with fever of excite
ment. Preston fell to the ground, and
when persons got to where he was ly-
ing it was found that he was struck by
two of the bullets at least, one ball en-
tering the side of the body and an
other in the breast.
"Mr. Borman was hurried from the
scene before a thorough examination
OF preston WOUNDS ndQ De6n maze,
and whether more than two shots had
taken effect he could not tell; but all
indications pointed to the mortal
wounding of the man.
1.-THE circumstances surrounding the
tragedy points to the existence of an
old feud between Goldworthy and
Preston. They have been long ac-
quainted; in fact had mined in other
camps together. For some past time
there seemed to be GOODNESS between
them, although it is not known that
they had ever quarreled and previous
to the dispute at the supper table no
one was aware that any bitter ill feel
ing existed. So sudden was the whole
affair that the exact facts could not be
obtained.
"After firing the shots, that will
probably send fellow mortal into eter-
nifty, Goldworthy made his escape
without any attempt on the part of per-
sons near at hand to detain or arrest
him. He left on foot and dressed in
his mining clothes. The officers in
this city were notified and will prob
ably put forth every effort in their
power to apprehend the murderer, and
it can be done if proper means are en-
ployed.

Land Company paid $24O8.40 taxes on
its land in Klamath county, where it
has 5000 acres of land, granted orig

Wagonroad Company, the total grant
amounting to 100000 acres. The
road was never really built, but the
Klamath Falls E1press says that the
state derives more benefit by the re-
ceipt of taxes from the lands than it
would by disposing of them otherwise.
for the property is practically value
less, and not more than one tenth of
the acreage would ever be settled

That Lady Killer.

Laban Johnson, who caused the
death of Mrs Crumpacker, of Pomeroy,
is described by the Courier as being a
slight built young man, rather well
dressed, and carries his arm in sling
from the effects of the wound he re-
ceived at the hands of Crumpacker.
To casual observer he would appear
as if belonging to the ''tin-horn" fra
ternity and man capable of attract
ing the attention of weak minded wo-
men. The sympathy of Garfield county
citizens seems to be with the husband,
where it justly belongs.

Winter Was Drowned.

The Enterprise at Aurora confirms the
report of the drowning of W. Fl. Win
ter, a prominent stockman of Prairie
creek, in Snake river. 1t learns that
Mr.. Winter started about noon, Satur-
day week ago, from his camp to go
to go the Warnock stock ranch about
mile distant along dangerous trail
close to the river. In passing steep
incline, the mule he was riding slipped
and went over the bluff about so feet
into the river, carrying the rider with
him. The dead mule and saddle were
found on the bluff. Also blood and
some hair was found where Winters
head struck rock in his fall. A dill
gent search was made for the body, but
without success at the time of Frank
Winters departure for the valley. The
deceased was we'll advanced in years,
and was highly respected citizen. and
at one time was one of the leading
stockmen of the valley, though of late
years he had been unfortunate in
financial matters.

Jack Brady.

The report of the presence in Ore
gon of Brady, the supposed murderer
of Bogard, the California sheriff, has
brought number of amateur detec-
tives into the field. Every man who
acts at all suspiciously is placed under
surveillance. At Salem the other
night an individual who was trying to
make his way home with load of book
beer fell into a gutter and was imme-
diately' surrounded by number OF
young men armed with cobble stones.
They thought they had Brady, sure.
The man finally explained himself and
resumed his journey, 1t was reported
the other night that Brady was in Pen
dletOn, and several men anxious to
earn the $4,000 reward went on his
trail.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES.
Meeting of the Mid-Columbia Association
at Condor.

The association of Congregational
chuches met at Condor in Gillian
county last Wednesday, and continued
in session two evenings and one day.
Rev. w. G. Curtis, pastor of the Con-
gregatiOnal church in this city, was in
attendance, and returned last evening.
He reports that the meeting was very
interesting to all concerned in the
work, and the people of Condor were
very courteous to the visitors. The
church building was wrecked by cy-
clone recently, but the association
took hold of the matter, and stimulated
the people to an extra effort and the
edifice will be rebuilt at once. There
were present ministers from churches
in different parts of the state, and
they appeared we'll pleased at the
progress being made in their fields of
labor. The sessions were made inter-
esting by the discussion of pertinent
subjects, and the sermons and ad-
dresses delivered in the evening were
especially good. There was good at
tendance of people at all the meetings,
and it was very much regretted when
the association adjourned.

A Tough Story.

The season for fish stories has opened,
and the Roseburg Reuie,o does not pro-
pose to take back seat. 1t comes to
the front with this statement: SD. P.
Fisher caught five sturgeon in his nets
few nights ago, and has three OF
them tied up now to the river bank
near town. A rope passed through
holes in their gills is tied back of their
heads, holding them very securely,
and as the fish are stout, sturdy fel-
lows, about six feet in length, Mr..
Fisher ties them to his boat frequently
and allows them to draw him around
over the river, this being very much
easier than rowing

We are informed that the residents
of Dufur and vicinity are becoming in
earnest in ridding that district of coy.
otes, and one day this week several
young men started out on a hunt.
They were on horseback, and armed
with the best rifles. On the return in
the evening they had killed fifteen
two old ones and thirteen pups. Coy
otes are terrible pest to the sheep
men, and it will be a great blessing
when the country is rid of them.

Hog Figuring.

The Corvallis Times man is a good
figurer. Here is an excellent showing
for the hog business: Born, to Manly
Curriers' poland china SOW, April 1,
1894, II pigs; November 1, 1894, 10 pigs
and March 5, 1895, Is pigs, making a
total increase of 40 pigs in IL months
and four days. Two of the first litter
that were slaughtered before nine
months of age, dressed 250 pounds
each, and the rest were in proportion,
making an aggregate from the first
litter of $3.50 pounds of pork. With
the process kept up this sow's produc-
ing capacity is $3.50 pounds of meat,
three times year or an aggregate of
IL ,25O pounds per annum, worth, at
five cents per pound, $3.50.

Railroads.

The mileage of all railroads on the
globe at the end of 1892 was 4O6, ,416
miles, according to statistics or one
mile to every 3, ,516 inhabitants. Porto
Rico is the state containing the
shortest length of railway, numbering
II miles and the United States has by
far the greatest-174,7 784 miles. Next,
but long way behind, comes Germany,
with 24,o1s miles: The he United King,
Russia fifth with 1855 miles. The
United States will likely continue to
lead, as she is still doing the most
building.

Notice to Water Consumers.

The Water Commissioners have
ordered that the rules concerning the
use of water for irrigation be printep
and posted upon the gates of copsum-
ers so that ali NAV understand what
the rules are. This has been done as
ordered. The great waste of water
heretofore and the limited supply,
make the enforcement of these rules
absolutely necessary. All consumers
lations and in case of violation of
the rules the water will be at once
shut off and charge of s1.0O will be
made before again making the con-
nection. /. J. NORMAN,

The Mania for House-Breaking is Ram

pant In Baker City.
The Baker City Democrat of Tuesday
reports no less than four cases of
house-breaking in that city and imme-
diate vicinity. On Sunday morning
Isadore Fuchs room was entered
while the occupant was asleep and an
imported swiss watch which cost $275,
and $14 in money was taken. The
same morning the bedroom of Henry
Rust was ransacked, his clothes re-
moved to woodshed, but no great
amount of valuables was secured.
On Saturday night the store of Will
cox Bros. in Haines, was burglarized.
The store was entered, and the con-
tents of the money drawers rifled of a
few dollars in small change. AS far as
known no goods were taken.
At an early hour Monday morning
the warehouse of Messrs. Yoacum &
Lee, at Express, was robbed of guam
tity of -four, sugar, bacon, etc. The
perpetrators took the stolen goods
away in hack but in what direction
is not known.

CURRANT CREEK ROAD.
The Work Being Done on This Highway
and It's Importance to The Dalles.
Antelope Herald

Antelope Herald.
Last week Mr.. ]. II. Sherar invited
several citizens of this place out to see
new Currant creek road, few miles
| southeast of here None could get
| away at the time but Messrs. N. W.
Wallace and w. D. Jones, who were
out all day Thursday, have the follow
ing report to make:
They say it would surprise anyone to
see the amount of work Mr.. Sherar
has done on the road with the limited
funds and in such short time. 1t is
a very rough, mountainous country out
there, but the road has been laid out
so we'll that, when completed, team
could easily trot up the grade at any
place, there not being steep place in
the whole road. The sixteen Indians
who are employed are all well-eXperi-
enced road workers, and one of them
could do as much at this kind of work
as two or three inexperienced men.
The road, so far as it has been built, is
actually the best highway in this part
of the country, and if the county court
will at once appropriate $500 with
which to complete the balance of the
road, in less than two weeks there will
be no obstruction between the upper
country and The Dalles-the best local
wool market on the coast. Heppner is
working hard to get road through to
the Mitchell country, and if successful
it will induce about one-half the travel
to go that way instead of to The
Dalles, that is unless this new Currant
Creek road is completed at once.
Those who will be benefited most by
the new road will be the business men
of The Dalles, and it is their duty to
insist on the county court appropriate
ing the requisite amount of money
with which to complete this road. If
this is not done, all the hard work al
ready performed will be entirely lost.
We believe the county court will do
what is right in the matter.

Beet Sugar Factories.

There are at present six factories in
this country manufacturing sugar from
beets. Three of these are located in
California, two in Nebraska and the
remaining one in Utah. A plant has
been located in Virginia, but has never
been operated on the same scale as the
others. The largest of these factories
is the one at Watsonville, Cal, which
has a capacity of about 1000 tons OF
beets per day. The Chino factory con-
sumes 800 tons. 1t was enlarged dur
ing the past season and now, perhaps,
equals that at Watsonville. The other
factories each average about 800 tons
daily. This is exactly what The
Dalles and Wasco county needs.
