Parr Boys Captured.

PENDLEToN, Or. April after a
long and exciting chase posse has
captured the Parr boys and brought
them to Pendleton. They were ar
raigned on the charges of horse-steal-
ing and assault with intent to kill.
They have been in the penitentiary at
Salem before.
Sheriff Houser, with Indian Agent
Harper, put Indian policemen on the
trail of the PARIS and for two days they
made a search. Last night they had
been traced to the Boriper place on the
reservation. AS the posse approached,
the PARIS hurried out, mounted their
horses and made for the mountains.
Pursuer and pursed were heavily
armed, and the chase was kept up until
the deep canyons of the Blue mountains
were reached. when the. fugitives
abandoned their horses and continued
their flight afoot. The posse pressed
on, and when the distance apart was
not more than hundred feet the
Parr boys turned at bay, drew their re-
vOlvers and emptied them at the Off
GERS No one one was injured by the
fusilade, and when the chambers were
all emptied the arrest was easily made.

THIS TIME MEXICO.
Three Americans UniustIy Held Prisoners
in Mexico.

Three Americans UnjuStly Held Prisoners
in Mexico.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 6-The case
of the three Americans Joseph Carter,
William Carney and D. A. Moore, who
were arrested during the latter part OF
January by Mexican officials on the
charge of smuggling horses over the
border, and were imprisoned at
Ensenada, seems from all accounts to
be in more unsettled state than ever.
The Hon. w. w. Bowers, representa-
tive from the seventh congressional
district, brought the matter before the
state department with the result that
the men, after examination, were or
dered released, their stock returned to
them, and they left to use their own
discretion about returning to United
States territitory, with their posses
sions. There the matter was supposed
to have ended, so far as the govern
ments of the two countries were con-
cerned, and the correspondence
between United States Vice-Consul
Godbe, Assistant Secretary of State.
Uhl, W. w. Bowers and M. Romero,
the Mexican minister, would seem to
bear out that supposition. The men,
however, give an entirely different
version of the result of their trial,
stating they were still virtually
prisoners, their stock still withheld
from them, and they forbidden to quit
Mexican territory. They claim that
local officials are using discretionary
powers not warranted by government
orders, tnd ask that the state depart
ment give their case immediate con-
sideratiOn,

The Leader Killed.

HENNESSY, o. T., April 5-Part OF
the posse in pursuit of the bandits who
robbed the Rock Island trainnear Do
yer, Wednesday night, came upon the
gang 35 miles west of Hennessey at
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A fight ensued in which one of the
robbers was killed and others wounded.
AS soon as the robbers were sighted
i. the deputies jumped from their horses
and used them as breast-works. While
the robbers made an attempt to retreat
two of their horses were shot from un-
der them and one man was killed.
Another's leg was broken, but he man
aged to get on his horse; another was
badly hit, but he too succeeded in get
ting away. The marshals gave chase
to the retreating outlaws and finally
cOrnered them in bunch of timber
about two miles from the scene of the
battle. A waiting game is being
played as the outlaws must have food
and water.
The dead man was brought to Hen
nessey at II o'clock last night and has
been positively identified as Dick
Yeager, alias Gyp Wyatt, on whose
head there is an aggregate reward of
over $4,000, including $1,000 offered yes
terday for each of the robbers by the
Rock Island. He was identified by
United States Marshal Graves and G.
c. Krepps, a farmer who was ac-
quainted with Wyatt. He-was also
identified as one of the Dover robbers
by the entire crew this morning, as
they passed here. Conductor Mack
says he was the leader. In his posses
sion was found the sack the porter was
compelled to hold while the passengers
deposited their valuables in it.

Son Against Father.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5-Rudolph
Spreckels, the youngest son of Claus
Spreckels, has sprung the latest sensa-
tion in the family alteration. In the
course of the trial of his injunction suit
against the Nevada bank, Rudolph
Spreckels' attorney handed in an affi-
davit full of ugly charges against his
father. Rudolph had signed the docu-
ment and duly acknowledged it before
a notary. Its purport is to charge
Claus Spreckels with endeavoring to
injure the credit of his two younger
sons to prevent them from paying the
indebtedness of G. A. Spreckels to his
father. In the event of the obligation
not being met, certain securities in the
Nevada bank, turned over to guarantee
payment, would become the property
of Claus Spreckels. Rudolph, in his
affidavit, denies the charge made by the
bank that he aided or abetted the Ha-
waiian revolution. He also charged
that the Nevada bank is not bona
fide purchaser of the stock, but is trying
to assist Claus Spreckels in the per-

POLITICAL.
The Question of Finance and Tariff Set
tied at a Country School Discussion.

The Question of Finance and Tarir Set
tied at Country School Discussion.
Last Saturday evening debate was
held at the Mesplie school house, on
Mill creek. The question to be dis
cussed was to the effect that both of
the old parties were corrupt and rotten
to the core, and should be wiped out of
existence; that the Populists were the
saviors of the country and compre-
hended in its platform all there was of
moral excellence in the principles of
government; that its leaders, includ-
ing Gen. Coqey, Prof. Rork and Cen
Scheffel, were latter day saints and
would not suffer death but be miracu-
lously translated into an upper and
better world. A large number of
farmers were present and took part in
the discussion. The judges were A.
Huguenin, John Mesplie and Andrew
Urquhart. After the last argument
was through the judges retired, and
after consultation decided that the
Populist party was the organization;
that Gen. Coxey was prosecuted
saint, and too righteous to exist in the
communicating influence of this lower
world. We do not expect this decision
will have much effect upon the vote in
1895.

Storm at Hilgard.

The recent wind storm played havoc
at Hilgard. A large pine tree was
broken in two like pipestem and the
upper portion fell across the residence
building belonging to John Reilly, in
the eastern part of town, and smashed
in the roof. One of the members OF
the family occupying the house, the
eldest daughter of Mrs. Hyde, sus-
tained some painful injuries on the
head, inflicted by flying pieces OF cell
ing. She was attempting to start a
fire in the cooking stove when the tree
fell crashing through the roof, and
then through the ceiling over the
stove. Fortunately none of the other
members of the family were hurt, al
though it was close call for serious,
if not fatal, injuries.

A FRIGHTFUL DEATH.

Mrs. H. e. Foster Meets Death by Being
Thrown From a Buggy and Dragged
Long Distvnce.
The Oregonian of Sunday says: Mrs.
81. E. Foster, widow, IS years of age,
living at Progress, small settlement
eight miles southwest of the city, met a
frightful death last evening by being
thrown from a buggy and dragged
nearly mile under the heels of run
away horse.
In company with Mrs. Rachael
Mckay neighbor, and little grand
daughter, Mrs. Foster visited Portland
yesterday to do some shopping and
visit relatives. The horse driven by
her had been owned in the family for
10 years, and was regarded as a gentle
animal, although, on rare occasions, it
INDUCED in some kicking freaks, but
was not considered dangerous. On
the return home last evening, when
about half mile beyond Mount Zion
schoolhouse, the horse indulged in
some of his kicking antics, and was
more than usually unruly. The first
kick tore off the dashboard and one of
the forewheels broke down, throwing
Mrs. Mckay out, who escaped injury.
The child was less fortunate, and has
a badly-cut face.
AS the wheel broke Mrs. Foster was
thrown forward over the broken dash
board, her head striking the shaftbar,
and her hair caught in the tracehooks.
Her body fell under the foreaxle, and,
unable to extricate herself, she was
dragged for nearly a mile before the
horse was stopped by Mr.. Rogers,
who rushed into the road on seeing the
runaway, and, seizing the animal by
the bits, brought him to stand. Mrs.
Foster was dead, her body badly lacer-
ated and manv bones broken.

GAINESVILLE, O., April 5-Four per
sons were killed outright and a fifth
fatally injured in a wreck on the
Bellaire, GAINESVILLE & Cincinnati mar.
row-gauge, at trestle five miles west
of Somerfied, this morning. The coach
jumped the tressle, which is situated
on curve. The coach ran into the
ties half way across and then the en-
CINE also left the rails, carrying down
five bents of the trestle to the ravine
below.
Eli Lucas, engineer, whose family re-
side in this city, was instantly killed.
Mrs. E. Young aud little daughter,
of Somerfeld, resident of Bellsville,
suffered the same fate, and Jessie Johns,
fireman, was fatally injured.
The remoteness of the scene of the
accident from telegraphic communica-
tion renders it impossible to secure in
formation from any one except the
railway authorities, and the road is a
narrow-gauge and does but little busi-
ness. The train consisted of only a
combination baggage car and pas
senger car. Just before arriving at the
trestle the coach jumped the track.
The trestle is double-decked. fully so
feet high, and consists of II bents,
crossing a stream, 1t is built on a
curve so that after dragging the coach
more than halfway across the structure,
the engine, too, was pulled from the
tracks and both car and engine toppled
into the ravine below, carrying down
three bents of the trestle.
The car was smashed to kindling
wood, and only two passengers, Nathan
Young, of Somerield, and J. Demon,
of Woodsfeld, escaped alive. Mrs.
Nathan Young and her little daughter,
and Henry Brown, of Bellsville, were
instantly killed. Engineer Eli Lucas
was also instantly killed, and Fireman
Jesse Johns fatally injured. Both men
might have been saved by jumping, but
they chose to remain at their posts
Johns was thrown from the engine as
it went down, while Lucas was caught
under the machinery and instantly
killed.

Our'NeW Dress.

The ES-MoUNTAINEER appears
to-day in complete new dress, and
enlarged to six column folio. OF
course this is an event worthy OF note,
for every publisher takes great pride in
the artistic appearance of the printed
page. The type came from celebra-
ted type-foundry, and is OF the latest
manufacture. Boastfulness is not an
element of our mentality; but on this
occasion we may be pardoned for feel
ing somewhat satisfied with the new
clothes of the Observation-Disclosures,
and for saying, "Look at us; aren't we
stylish"

IN BAD TASTE.

Disclaimed by the M. e. Church.

The Attack of the Massachusetts, Minister
Disclaimed by the M. e. Church.
SALEM, Mass, April 6-The attack
of Rev. DR.. Lansing on the president
in his address here Wednesday night
has not been well received. One well.
known clergyman said today: 81 wish
DIR. Lansing had taken some other
time and place to attack the president
than our Methodist conference. 1t is
very strange we had no intimation o1
the charge in advance, and l sincerely
hope DR.. Lansing has not been misin-
formed by making such charge. It's
too bad" Similar utterances have
been heard from the clergy here in at
tendance. While DR.. Lansing, in an
evening Boston paper, is quoted as
expressing doubt that he used the word
"Drunkard" in referring to the presi-
dent, and many of the clergy positively
testify to the accuracy of the published
reports.
At the session of the conference to-
day, the Rev. Frederick Woods, OF
East Boston, presented the following:
"Whereas, In the admirable, earnest
and able address of Rev. DR.. Lansing,
Thursday evening, there occurred
serious imputations upon the moral
character of the president of the
United States, this conference while
recognizing that there is doubtless
need of public criticism of some who
occupy high places in the land, and
while profoundly impressed with the
ability and sincerity of the orator who
so eloquently served us on our tenn
perance university, yet feels con-
strained to disclaim responsibility for
the utterances, concerning which the
honored brother is able to speak for
himself, however his statements may
be construed"
The conference expunged the whole
matter from the minutes. During the
debate there was considerable excite
ment, and it was difficult at times for
the bishop to maintain order.

Our Southern Neighbors.

WASHINGTON, April 5-Gresham is
advised that the British foreign Office
has, within the past 4S hours, informed
Bayard that England does not desire
any Nicaraguan territory, that her
colonial possessions are already suf1ic-
lent large to satisfy her ambition, and
that all she desires of Nicaragua is the
indemnity. Assurances are also given
that, while England will show an earn
est determination to collect this in
demnity, there is little probability that
Greytown will be bombarded by the
English feet in the event of Nicaragua's 8
slow compliance with England's re-
quest. No dispatches regarding Ven
ezuela have been received.

Cheap Popularity.

WASHINGTON April 6-Advices from
Venezuela state that that ex-Congress-
man Livingston, of Georgia, is the
hero of the day there, and that it
would not be surprising if his statue
were erected on the public square at
Caracas, alongside that of ex-President
Monroe, as an exponent of the Monroe
doctrine. Mr.. Livingston introduced
the resolution, which passed congress,
directing the state department to in
tercede between Great Britain and
Venezuela for settlement of their
troubles. He also made a speech on
the subject, sounding the Monroe doc
trine. The speech, it seems, struck a
popular chord in Venezuela.

Too Much Poker.

The old sea captain that sailed from
Port Townsend the other day knows
how to beat sure thing poker game.
Two gamblers made his acquaintance,
went aboard the ship, with the result
that the captain was considerably
poorer the next morning. He invited
them to renew the game the next
evening, which invitation was gladly
accepted. Once aboard the gamblers
were kept prisoners, and the ship
sailed next day for Callao, Peru. They
will have an opportunity to get all the
poker they want for the next sixty
days, but it is safe to say the captain
will get the best of the game, and the
gamblers will be landed minus money
and jewelry.

To aohOm It may concern:
There seems to be some little specu-
lation in regard to whether or not the
Baptist Sentinel and the Oregon States
man, the Populist newspaper recently
started in our city, are in anyway re-
lated. We wish to inform inquirers,
one and all, that there is none what
ever 1t is true we printed their first
edition for them, but it was done from
the reason they had not yet received
their press, and we did it simply as a
favor, and charged them accordingly.
We trust that this will relieve the
minds of all in regard to this matter, as
only one paper is now and will be is
sued from our Office, and that is the
Sentinel.

that Spain has made another demand
