A Fish Story.

The Dalles people who go fishing
and then come back with stories of
their prowess in that respect will have
to fish and study long time before
they can ever hope to lay the follow
ing story from Canada in the shade:
"Last fall a man fishing on the
Maitland lost his watch out of the
boat from which he was fishing. The
other day while fishing he caught a
three-pound bass. His astonishment
can be imagined when he found his
watch lodged in the throat of the
beauty. The watch was running and
the time correct. 1t being stem
winder, the supposition is that in mas
ticating its food the bass wound up the
watch daily"

O. D. TAYLoR's ARREST.
The Manner In Which 1t Was Done Not at

Some severe criticism has been made
of the manner of Rev. o. D. Taylor's
arrest, and the hurried way in which
he was driven from the city. Mr..
Parker Owens is an old officer. and
thoroughly understands his business.
He has never allowed q prisoner to
escape, and has no greater respect for
a rascal in broadcloth than one in
jeans. His only rule is to arrest his
man and retain him in custody until
properly discharged by the court. @.
D. Taylor is not known to him person.
ally, only as the principal in the North
Dalles swindle. He had every reason
to believe that the reverend gentleman
was the beloved pastor of the First
Baptist church of this city, and that
he had the respect and confidence of
many of the leading citizens of The
Dalles from the excellent endorsements
he showed the people of Saginaw as
an inducement for them to invest in
Grand Dalles real estate. Before leav-
ing Saginaw Owens was informed that
he had willy schemer to capture,
and that, perhaps, his many and infiu-
ential friands in this community would
throw every possible obstacle in the
way Of Taylor being taken back to

Michigan. He acted with prudence,
zeal and integrity, as every conscien-
tiouS executive officer should, and in
the manner that the sheriff of this
county, or any of his deputies would
be expected to act if they were to ar
rest the pastor OF the First Baptist
church of Saginaw, who carried with
him the unqualified endorsements of
the most prominent men of that city.
Mr.. Owens has done his duty, and the
law will take its course. That is all.
FAIR PLAY.

John r. Simmons and family con-
sisting of wife, boy of four years.
and baby while camped on the south
end of Lake Albert, met with a terri
BILE accident. They commenced to
load shot gun shells, the wife filling in
the powder while Simmons put in the
shot. Their powder was in numerous
paper sacks, and it is supposed that
spark from the camp fire ignited the
whole train. The full force of the ex-
plosion struck Mrs. Simmons in the
face knocking her down and setting
her clothes on fire. Mr.. Simmons
grabbed her and half dragged her to
creek some fifty yards distant and ex-
tinguished the flames in the water. He
at once returned and gathered the boy
whose clothing was now flame, and
saved him in the same manner. Young

Mr., onnolly, the night policeman,
was the hrst officer VINO visited the
wounded Chinaman, and he had long
conversation with him. He claimed
that he was stabbed on the opposite
side of the street and ran to the Snyder
house, followed by the three Cinnamon,
where he pulled the knife out OF the
wound. Before he died he smoked
two pipes OF opium, and this appeared
to quiet the pain. 10 Mr.. Connolly he
described how one Chinaman had held
him by the cue and the other by the
arms while the third stabbed him. He
then broke away from them and ran
to the China house. About = O clock he
died; but gave sufficient evidence to
lead to the arrest of Look: Woo, who was
found in the rear Of Skibbe's hotel, in
a shed lying on some loose hay. Lee
Ching, his accomplice, was found in
the upper story OF wash house, with
four or FIVE coats thrown over him,
and after the proprietor had said he
was not on the premises. Fl Yuen,
the third man, is still at large.

pear before him October 81 and show
cause why they should not be punished
for contempt.
New York, Oct. 3.-Judge Lacombe of
the United States district court for the

appeared for the general reorganization

cation on the ground that the old receiv-
ers had not reported or accounted TO the
court as ordered by Judge Jenkins to do
so monthly. The Northern Pacific asked
for a poStpOnement of the case owing to
the absence of Brayton Ives, president,
and Silas Petit, counsel for the COM

THE VENEZUELAN TROUBLE
Manoa Company, Which Has the
Grant, Holds a Meeting in
New York City.

New York, Oct. 3.-The directors of
the Manoa company, which has secured
a concession of land in the territory in
dispute between Venezuela and Great
Britain, is holding a meeting here. The
syndicate will take possession of the lar
this month and the course of the com
pany will be determined at the coming
meeting.
The officers of the company are loath
to admit hat a desire to embroil the
United States in the international dis,
pute prompted the Venezuelan govern
ment's concession.
President Bowman, in an interview,
denied emphatically that the grant had
been made with the idea that the United
States could be brought into the trouble.
He claimed that the grant had been made
in 1883 to a citizen of Venezuela, and
had been purchased by the company be-
fore the trouble arose with Great Britain
over this territory.
London, Oct. 3.-Inquiries made at
the United States embassy here today
show that no instructions had been re-
.eived there from the secretary of the
ANY to notify the British government
,at unless the Venezuelan question is
omitted to arbitration within ninety
avs the United States will enforce the
Ionroe doctrine.
No such instructions as those outlined
have been received, n nothing what.
ever is being done through the United
States embassy here in regard to Vnezue-
la. The United States Ambassador,
Thomas f. Bayard, and secretary of the
United States embassy. James r. Koose-
welt. are at present visiting in Scotland.

UNCLE SANS MITTS ON.
Corbett and Fitzsimmons will Not
be Allowed to Meet on Fed
eral Domain.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 7.-Commis-
sioner Browning of the Indian office has
taken prompt and decisive action to pre-
vent the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize fight
taking place in the Indian territory. He
has prepared a letter of Instructions to
Agent Wisdom at Muscogee, |. IT,, di-'
recting him to see that the laws are en-
forced and to eject forcibly any intruders
who may enter the Indian country for
the purpose of creating a disturbance 81
engaging in anything that may be detr1,
mental to the Indians. The commission
er states that the statutes Of the United
States are ample to cover the situation
and to prevent the fight. The agent will
nave at his back not only the Indian Pc,
lice, but all the United States troops nee
. essary to eject the fighters.
The statutes give the United States
authority to keep out of the Indian terri
tory all persons whose presence would
be detrimental to the peace and pros
perity of the Indians. The commissioner
says there is no doubt that the presence
of the prize-fghters and the gang that
would follow them into the Indian ter
ritory would be very detrimental to the
Indians and that it is therefore the duty
Of the Indian office to keep them out.
He says that the agent at Muscogee
has not as much authority as the agents
on TeSorNdllOLlS, Uul utNSILuclCoS mas
enough to prevent the fight taking place
in the territory of the five civilized
tribes. The commissioner intends also
to notify all the governors and head
men of the five civilized tribes that they
must not allow the fight to take place
and must assist the United States au-
thOritieS in preventing 1t.
Commissioner Browning was asked if
the admission of COrbett, Eitzsimmons
and others connected with the light to
citizenship in one of the tribes would
make any difference in the authority of
the government and he said it would
not change the conditions in the least.
The government has the power to eXpel
a full-blooded Indian from the territory
if the peace and good order of the In
dams required it. The government would
be able to exercise 4 great deal OF dlscre-
ton in the affair. The United States
marshals or the Indian agent and his
police, backed by the United States
troops, can remove the fighters as in
swer as to violation of the law after
wards. 1t is not a case where the fight
must take place and the fighters then
be called upon as to whether they had
violated the law. The government will
not even wait for the affair to progress
that far. The principals and others con-
nected with the fight will be unceremo-
niously hustled off the Indian lands on
the ground that they are intruders whose
presence is undesirable. If they make
any complaint about it the courts will
have to determine the rights of the mat
ter and it is believed the probabilities
are that the power Of the United States
government will be broadly interpreted.
