Stabbing Ahray.

Last night about half past IL o'clock,
a stabbing affray occurred in Stubling &
Williams sample rooms, in which John
Powers was stabbed in the back by a
man named Valentine As far as we can
learn the facts are about as follows.
Valentine came into the saloon in an in
toxicited condition, and began using
abusive epithets towards the barkeeper.
This was not resented by him, but Mr.,
Powers told Valentine that he should
not abuse the boy in that manner, and
tried to persuade him to keep quiet.
Apparently he became calm after this,
and invited those present to take drink
with him. Then Powers went to him
and said he should apologize to the bar
keeper for insulting him. This appeared
to make Valentine very angry, and he
retorted that Powers could not make him
apologize. He then drew a knife and
made a lunge at Powers, striking him in
the back near the hip. The barkeeper
called to Powers at the time to be care
full that Valentine had knife, and he
soon realized that he was cut The blood
flowed freely from Powers, and he was
cared for by his friends and DIR. Hollister
called, who applied the usual surgical
remedies. After an examination the
wound was ascertained not to be serious,
and the only danger is from blood poison
ing This is the first time that anything
of the kind has ever happened in this
saloon, as the proprietors are very care
full to keep an orderly house, and allow
no disreputable characters to loiter
around the place. Mr.. Powers is very
peaceable man, and this quarrel was not
his seeking.

GOODBYE, OLD FRIEND.
Bidding Goodbye to Old Associates is
Sometimes Sad, Sweet Sorrow.

bluu1ng GOOu-Bye TO Old Associates Is
Sometimes Sad, Sweet Sorrow.
Last Saturday we bid good bye to
the old type in the TIMEs-MoUNT-
AINEER, which had done good service
for us for long years, and we felt like
shaking the hand for the last time of
an old and faithful friend. Every
mood of the editor has been put into
living, burning words by the old type,
which now occupy an honored grave
name in printing offices. In our hours
of joy these little pieces of metal have
voiced our gladness, and in seasons of
sorrow they have expressed our sad
ness. To friends they have given a
cordial welcome, and to enemies they
have given vent to feelings of anger.
And now, standing over the grave of
our departed friend, we only wish that
every sentiment of animosity which,
perhaps, ill-advised words have Gre
ated, could lie with them buried from
sight and from recollection. But if
generosity causes us to make this con-
cession, yet we have nothing to re-
tract, and perhaps would have said the
same words if we had to relive the last
fifteen years over. The type have been
honest; they have been faithful SER
wants, and prompt messengers of
thought. AT times they may have
lacerated sore spots or burned fiery
words into sensitive souls; but they
have only done as directed, and have
been subservient to the will of him
who held the quill. To the editor they
have been his closest companions, and
for six years he has talked to them
daily from his soul and mind. They
have been faithful impression of his
thoughts during this time every day,
and their condition, whether of dull
ness or of cleverness, have been faith
fully portrayed. But they have served
their purpose, and have been laid
away, in a little while to be forgotten
and be changed into different mate
rial substance, a symbol of the fate OF
him who now writes this, and of others
who are in active life. Associations
are not easily forgotten, and they
twine themselves around the soul as
though they were living, sentient be-
ings. For this reason, as we bend
over the PROSTATE forms of our old
shade of sadness comes
over us, and with feelings akin to re-
gret we say: Farewell, old friend,
farewell"

A COLD-BLOODED MURDER.
Cowlitz County Excited Over the Killing
of Homer Strait by Thomas Powell,
His SOn-in-Law.

Cowlitz County Excited Over the Killing
of Homer Strait by Thomas Powell,
His Son-in-Law.
A dispatch from Kalama, Wash,
April 8th, contains the following:
Further particulars of the killing of
Homer Strait by Thomas Powell, his
son-in-law, show the murder to have
been the coolest blooded one in the
history of Cowlitz county. The men
had had a lawsuit over piece of land
in which Strait won. Last Monday
Strait and neighbor named Piper,
while near Straits house, were met by
Powell and Straits wife, who had been
living apart from him.
The woman accosted Strait with the
remark that she had row to pick
with him. Powell then began cursing
Strait, and drawing his pistol, fired a
bullet which passed through Straits
body just above the stomach. Strait
tried to knock the pistol out of Pow
ellis hand, but the latter succeeded in
firing four more shots, none of which
took effect. All this time the woman
was pounding Straight over the head
with an oxgoad, tearing his scalp at
every stroke. Piper finally separated
the men and started for home with
Strait. Powell then seized the oxgoad
and running up to Strait, beat him into
insensibility.

Death of Rev. w. L. MacEwan.

A dispatch was received this morn
ing by Mr.. w. H. Moody announcing
the death of Rev. w. L. MacEwan in
Portland last night of pneumonia, and
that the funeral would probably take
place Monday. This was all the intel
ligence that the dispatch contained,
and the sad news is matter of great
surprise to the citizens of The Dalles.
Rev. MacEwan was rector of ST. Pauls
Episcopal church in this city for many
years, and by his uniform Christian
conduct was universally esteemed in
this community. He was married to
Mrs. Laswell, sister of Mrs. w. II.
Moody of this city, and neice of Mr..
E. B. Mcfarland of Portland. His
death will be very much regretted by
his many friends at The Dalles, and
his widow and children will receive
the heartfelt sympathy of the commu-
nifty in their irreparable loss.
The following further particulars Of
the sad event are copied from the Orego
nidn of this morning:
Rev. w. l.. McEwan, rector of st.
Marks Episcopal church, died last even
ing at his home, 80 Twentieth street, of
pneumonia, after an illness OF five days.
His death was quite unexpected for, al
though he was very sick, his physicians
at O'Clock last evening thought that he
was improving He leaves a widow and
three minor children Deceased was one
of the best known Episcopal clergymen
in the Northwest He was a native of
Oregon, having been born at Clatsop. AZ
years ago. His father, R. S. MacEwan,
crossed the plains in 1851, and settled in
Clatsop county. where he still resides
Rev. Mr.. MacEwan was educated in
California and the east after graduating
from Bishop Scott academy. After his
ordination, ne commenced work in The
Dalles, where he remained for eight
years, afterward removing to Walla
Walla, where he remained for one year.
When st. Marks parish was formed,
eight years ago, he was called to take
charge of the little chapel, and so sue
cessful was he in his pastorate that it is
today one of the best known churches in
the city
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral, owing to the absence
from the city of Bishop Morris, who was
a very close friend of the deceased, and
who will doubtless desire to look after
the matter. Bishop Morris is expected
home today,

SUICIDE AT SPOKANE.
A Despondent Man Deliberately Takes
His Own Life by the Shotgun
Method.

Frank r. Dow committed suicide at
Spokane Thursday by blowing his
brains out. He was an easterner and
came to Spokane three years ago to
work in the Bank of Spakane Falls,
then being operated by A. M, Cannon,
He was nephew of the late Mrs.
Cannon. OF late he had nominally
been engaged as bondbroker, but his
support has been by money received
from the east. The suicide was care
fully planned. Dow removed the coun-
terpane of his bed, spread it upon the
floor and laid down on it. He then
placed the muzzle of Martin rifle be-
tween his teeth and pulled the trigger.
Blood and brains were scattered over
everything, and death must have been
instantaneous, An examination of
the rooms revealed the presence of
dozens of empty morphine bottles, sew
eral walls which had contained lauda-
mum, and other drugs. A careful
search failed to reveal any papers or
letters giving reason for the rash act.
Not cent of money was found.

DIR. Joe's Death the Cause.

Pendleton East Oregonian: This In
dams on the reserve attribute the heavy
windstorm of Monday to the death of
old Doctor Joe, the medicine man, who
passed away to the happy hunting
grounds. Although generally thought
to have advanced beyond the stage of
such supersti ton, the Indians yet cling
to crude ideas and may easily be inspired
with awe when observing some phenom-
omen of nature The death of Doctor Joe
has caused them to mourn very deeply.
To him they attributed great powers and
the usual wonderful cures by means of
magic. Had Doctor Joe lived through
the storm, he would have convinced the
Indians that he caused the wind to blow
with the aid of the Great Spirit, for he
seldom failed to turn the works of nature
to account in holding his reputation as a
medicine man.

Afraid of Cyclones.

The people of Long creek are afraid
of cyclones since the terrible visitation
they had few months ago, andwhen the
wind blew with great velocity, one day
last week, many of the citizens took
safety in their cellars thinking it was
another cyclone. 1t did some dam
age, and in the vicinity the timber
was badly demolished. Report reached
Long creek that the new school house
at Monument was blown from it's
foundations. Long Creek is the only
place in Eastern Oregon that we have
heard of cyclones prevailing, and after
reading their disastrous results in the
east, it is enough to make people tim
orous and fearful when the wind. blows.

The Concert.

Mr.. Joseph Mueller had good audi
ence last night at the opera house, and
he sang in excellent voice. His humor-
Gus songs captivated the people, and
even those who did not understand his
renditions in German. could see that
the wit and humor were fully delinea-
ted. The music by the orchestra was
excellent, and The Dalles may well feel
proud of the accomplishments of this
band of musicians. The Gesang Kerein,
for whose benefit the concert was given.
should be complimented in securing
the services of Mr.. Mueller and also of
the orchestra union for their concert.
1t passed off very successfully, and gave
general satisfaction.

Wild Lettuce.

A farmer residing in the neighbor-
hood of Kingsley informed us today
that growths commonly known as
wild lettuce has completely covered
the ground in some places, and it will
be difficult to eradicate them. Their
roots branch out in the ground, and
absorb considerable moisture. The
seed is light, and in season blows over
large areas. Our informant believes
that law should be passed forcing
farmers to weed them out before they
attain their full growth, as after ma
turity it is almost impossible to remove
them. In places they have usurped
many fertile spots, and in few years,
without something is done to stop
them from spreading, they will be as
great pest as the Canada thistle.
