The Tournament.

At meeting of the fire department
last evening the terms of the o. r. &c
N. Co. and D. p. & A. N. Co. were
presented. The former offered to
transport all those desiring to attend
the tournament to and from Portland
with cart free for So, and the latter for
the same price, fifteen men of the team
and cart free, landed at Vancouver,
not later than 2:30 p. NJ. on Monday.
OF course the terms of the D. +. & A.
N. Co. being the most advantageous
were accepted. If the railroad had
been adopted as the means of trans
por5ation those from this city would
have been forced to pay their fare
from Portland to Vancouver, while
the boat will land them at the wharf
at the latter place.

Good Weather for Rattle Snakes,

1t is reported that more than
usual number of snakes of the rattle
attachment variety have been seen
during the past summer. The only ex-
PLANTATION of this fact that has so far
been offered is that there are no more
rattle-snakes than during other years,
but that they are throwing themselves
in sight with greater frequency and
activity on account of the warm, dry
weather. This theory is probably as
good as any, since it is we'll known
fact that rattle-snake takes great
delight Willing away the lonely hours
in the hot sun. Lots of snakes have
been killed during the past few weeks.
and one gentleman who recently killed
three rattle snakes says there are not
only more numerous but bigger and
fatter than usual.

The Diamond Fakes

The two men mentioned yesterday
as attempting to operate diamond
swindle in this city were arrested by
Sheriff Driver last night and they had
their examination today. Quite a
revelation was made in the contents of
their valises. Real diamonds were
there and also bogus ones, and letters
were also found from friends" wish
ing them success in their venture.
They only had one victim in this city,
from whom they managed to secure $40.
The case was called by Justice Davis
at 10 o'clock, and the state was repre-
sented by G. w. Phelps and the de-
PENDANTS by Hon. E. B. Dufur. A
separate trial was asked for each, and
the examination was postponed until
2 o'clock this afternoon. They were
placed under 5000 bail.

Street Preaching:

The Dalles has been peculiarly
favored the past two days by public
preaching. Each evening the Saliva
tion Army has given their usual enter
tainment at the corner of Second and
Court street, and yesterday noon Mr..
and Mrs. Rice, the COW boy preacher
and wife, began series of public
meetings. Last night Mrs. Rice spoke
for about an hour and a half on re-
ligious subjects and also in the after
noon. She is only 20 years old and
has been in the evangelistic work ever
since she was IL years old. Her re-
marks were truthful and pointed, and
the language she used was easily un-
derstood. She appears to be very
much in earnest, but she might accom-
plish more good in deyoting her efforts
to one community.

HORSE MEAT.
The Factory at Lynnton Not Canning the
Meat,

| meat,
It is a mistake that the factory at
Lynnton is canning horse meat, as is
generally supposed. Not one can has
been put on the market so far at this
place, and the horses have been butch
cred, the hides saved and the meat
cooked, dried and ground up and
turned into fertilizing material. The
company has now 5000 pounds of the
meat in pickle, which will be sent to
Germany and France. About 1000 or
5O0Oof the Switzler band the company
has purchased at a cost of $3.50 head,
and have received several hundred of
this lot. The capacity of the works is
about 55 head day, 45 horses and 10
colts. After the animal is killed it is
denuded of it's hide by pulling it off.
The hide is started in places, and then
jerked off by a winding machine.
This is tanned into leather, and used
in the manufacture of boots and shoes.
The offal is fed to hogs, and this fur
nishes good feed. Any one desirous of
purchasing an animal may take his
choice for so; but our informant says
there is not any he has seen that is
worth this amount.

AN OLD FAMILY FEUD.
Murder of Harry Stone Near Weiser
Deed of Revenge.


A Weiser correspondent of the Boise
Statesman says:
"Newt Johnson, who returned Sun
day from Salmon meadows, brings Q
few particulars of the murder which
occurred at the meadows on Wednes.
day, August 81. While the races were
in progress near Cal Whites, late in
the afternoon stranger rode up and
reported that several miles across the
valley on Mud creek he had come
across the body of man lying on its
| face in the road, one not frequently
travelled. He dismounted and at
tempted to turn the body over. 1t was
stiff and cold and he left it as he found
it. He did not know who the dead
man was. A party at once went to the
place and found it to be the body of
| Harry Stone. He was shot in the
right side low down in the ribs, the
| ball coming out near the left nipple,
| the course ranging upward, His horse
was standing short distance Off with
the saddle on. He had not been dead
over 10 or II hours. The murderer
had evidently lain behind log which
was near by and shot Stone as he rode
along.
'As there had been a feud for some
time between Stone and family
named Curtis, old man Curtis, who is
also father-in-law of Stone. was sus-
pected of the deed. A visit was made
to his premises, and a young son was
found there, who was closely ques-
toned and it was learned that Curtis
had taken his rifle and started out
early that morning and had not been
home since. Up to the present writ
ing Curtis has not been found, but it
is reported that traces of him have
been discovered, making his way down
Little Salmon river.
'About two years ago or longer
Stones wife, who was daughter OF
Curtis, died from strychnine, admins |
tered by her own hand, or said to have |
been. Stone told friends that she had |
confessed to having been untrue to |
him during his absence. He seemed |
greatly affected mentally over his do
mestic troubles and bothered friends
and officials of the county with his
woes, wanting something done with
the person implicated. He also asked
protection from his wife's relatives,
who, he said, had threatened to kill
him. 1t is conjectured by some that
her family suspected Stone of having
poisoned her himself, or if not this,
that his persecution had driven her to
take her own life, and that the mur-
derer felt himself to be an avenger.
There is no doubt that out of the old
family troubles grew the cause of the
1eed."

A Successful Angler.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Dufur have spent
the summer vacation on the head
waters of Fifiteen-mile creek in the
mountains. This is lovely resort,
and fish and game are very plentiful.
Last evening bright little fellow
brought to the home of the editor a
bountiful supply of mountain trout,
and the boy said his mother caught
them. On inquiry we ascertained the
fact that Mrs. Dufur caught over 200
fish: She is an expert angler, and
while Hon. E. B. Dufur can file ans
wers. demurers and special pleas to the
jurisdiction, ETC., his better half is
more of a success when it comes to en-
ticing the speckied beauties from their
native haunts.

A Storm.

A very violent wind from the east,
accompanied by thunder and light
ming, blew last night, beginning about
8 o'clock and continuing for over an
hour. A shower of rain fell, but not
enough to dispel the smoke. In some
instances branches from trees were
wrenohed off, and some trees uproOted:
but little damage was done consider
ing the anger displayed by the ele-
toned to thunder and lightning and
violent east winds, and some alarm
was expressed during the prevalence
of the storm.

Burglar Caught by a Woman.

Harry Williams, burglar who was
caught in Henry Raborn's home in
Everett Friday. waived examination
and was held to the superior court in
$1,000. Mrs. Raborn heard someone
upstairs, and, going up cautiously,
saw the mans figure reflected in the
mirror. She went downstairs and got
a gun and returned to the scene. The
burglary was taken completely by sur
prise as he saw the plucky woman, and
he jumped into closet. There she
kept him while she opened a window
and shouted for help, which soon came.
Three pals of Williams have been
working the town selling hanging
baskets, apparently to get acquainted
with the places. They were sent up
for vagrancy.

Railroad Assessment.

Marion county intends assessing the

The Marion county assessor says:
correspondence received indicates
that some county officials do not un-
derstand the apparent low rate of as
sessment paid on this road in Oregon,
as compared with California. The
rate fixed by California is over $12, 900,
but that includes the steamship lines,
depots, real estate and all property.
Oregon assesses all property separately
so that there is very little, if any, favor
shown the road in this state"

PaSSeS TO bnf Sllcnp snOFes
We received news by telephone of
the death of Mr.. D. L. Thomas at half.
past 10 o'clock this forenoon at Dufnr,
where he has resided since 1883. He
was born in 1926, and was conse-
quently about SO years old. For "a long
time he has been prominent m en-
Der of the order of Odd Fellows, has
been deputy grand master for this
district, and for many years secretary
of Ridgely lodge at Dufur. At the
time of his death he was postmaster at
that town, and occupied the same posi-
tion in Prineville in former years. AS
man and Odd Fellow he exemplified
the highest principles and traits of
character, and no one ever knew him
who did not entertain for him the
highest respect. AS father and hus-
band he was kind and affectionate,
and as citizen and neighbor honor
able in all his dealings and just and
benevolent to his fellows. The town
of Dufur will deplore his death and
the sorrow of the community will be
added to that of his widow and chill
dren at his demise. He will be buried
in the Odd Fellows cemetery near
Dufur Sunday afternoon at O'Clock,
under the auspices of the order.

The season for fruit picking and

number of men gathering fruit, and
our gardens present the appearance of

fruit this season will be unusually
large, and our resources in this regard
are not nearly. developed ; In few
years the trade will be nearly doubled
In extent, and our producers will reap
