pUFUR NOTES.
Harvest Items and News From Our
Neighboring Town.
DT1EIrR Auo 2 1SQ5


DUFUR, Aug 8, 1895.
Editor TINES MoUsTAINEEh:
Your Dufur correspondents are SO
irregular that our place is not heard
from at times for long intervals. The
probabilities are that this can be ac.
counted for by the fact that there are
several of them, and that one waits
upon the other.
The farmers are now busy harvest
ing, and from most of them we hear
the good news that the crop is about
an average one. Some fields OF grain
are very fine and some are almost
worthless.
Our worthy postmaster, Mr.. D.
Thomas, is very sick. His chances for
recovery are few indeed.
Dufur needs stirring up in the way
of building; more houses are needed,
even in midsummer for the accOmmO-
dation of those who desire to live here.
The town is also sadly in need OF a
new school house, in order that the
school may continue to grow. For the
last two winters the house now used
for school purposes has been filed to
overhowing ,and for the coming winter
its accommodations will be entirely in
adequate. The thing to do is either to
build an addition to the present house,
or 10 build a new house on other
grounds and dispose of the one now in
use.
There is something of a furry
among the dog fanciers Of Dufur. No
small town in Oregon can muster so
many fine well-bred dogs, and we
might add, nor so we'll trained. Mr..
Neal, quiet citizen of our town,
without any spirit OF rivalry took pity
on what was considered common cur,
and to save it from the common fate of
worthless Observation-Disclosures it
home With him. Time has developed
this dog, and the development is a
marvel that has caused Balch and An
derson to turn green with jealous
envy.
No doubt many citizens of The
Dalles and of Wasco county, who were
at the great show, have wondered what
caused the elephant to act so furious
when in The Dalles. The secret is
told in a few words: Neal was there
with his dog which no sooner smelled
his game-the elephant-then he went
in full chase. NoMAS.

srABBINa AFFRAY.
An Old Quarrel Betwsen Tom Swift and
Frank sigerist Results in Serious

The Fossil Journal of August 2 pub
fishes the particulars of stabbing
| gffray at Winlock, about % miles from
Fossil, in which Frank Sigerist was
perhaps fatally stabbed by Tom Swift
on the morning OF that day. quote
| the following:
"The trouble appears to have been
of long standing. On the 4th OF July
last at Wagner, young Swift accused
Frank Sigerist of saying something
| uncomplimentary about himself and
young lady that Swift had at the time
along with him. A few hot words
passed only, as Frank did not care to
quarrel in presence of the lady. This
morning was the first time since then
that the parties have met.
"Sigerist was working logging at
Howell's mill, when Swift rode along
on horseback. The old question came
up; who started it, we did not learn.
We only learned that hard words
passed, and Frank called Emerson
Howell over from his house to verify
the statement that he (Sigerlstl had
made: and that, after threatening to
blow the top of his head off, Swift sud
denly drew knife and stabbed Siger-
ist near the region of the heart. Sig
erist's arm was raised at the time. He
had caught hold of Swift's wrist when
Swift put his hand in his pocket as If
to draw pistol. As Swift brought
his hand forth empty, ,Sigerist let loose
of his wrist, and before he could lower
his arm, Swift suddenly drew the knife
already open, from a pocket in his
chaps and made savage drive at
Frank with it,immediately after which
he galloped off. Swift was. on horse
back and Sigerist on the ground when
the stabbing was done. Constable |
Morgan took the knife, which Swift |
calls 'jack-knife,' from the latter |
when he arrested him in town. 1t is a |
cattle knife, having a spring back,
which holds the 81 inch dirk shaped |
blade fast when once opened"
Swift rode into Fossil in company |
with Frank Howell and DR.. Howard
was called to attend to the injured
man.
Mfr. Howell reported that Sigerist
had tainted once before he had left,
but at that time they did not know
how badly he was hurt. The wounded
man came to as he was leaving, and
told him not to kill horse going for
the doctor. DR.. Howard returned
from Wagner that evening and reports
the wound very serious one, with
danger of it's resulting fatally. Siger-
ist was without coat or vest when
stabbed, and the knife went into his
side between the fourth and fifth ribs,
barely missing the heart. The surface
wound is three inches long. Very lit
tie blood flowed externally.

AN INDEPENDENT LINE.
A Portage Railway and Steamer Line
Figured on.

n = S@>~S
Figured on.
Under Pendleton date line, the
Spokesman ReUieao of the issue of Aug.
5 contains the following relating to
the visit of Major McNeill to the w.
6 c. r. proprieties and the trip made
over the lines by him and President
Tyler and vice-P President Wilcox:
sPaul Mohr, who is deeply inter-
ested in the portage railway scheme
at Cello, on the Columbia river; ex-
Governor Miles G. Moore and Tyler,
the receiver of the Washington &
Columbia River railroad, have been
holding frequent conferences OF late.
It has been stated, though with no
known autority, that scheme was on
foot to connect the Washington & Col
umbia River railroad with the Columbia
river by building an extension on the
road, and in cannection with Mr..
Mohr's portage railway at Cello and
system of river steamers an indepen-
dent line could be established for
traffic in Washington and Oregon.
"That the o. r. & N. people under
stand that such competition with its
system is possible is evinced by the
meetings spoken of in the first part of
this dispatch. The Northern Pacific
is slso an interested onlooker. though
to what extent it will take part is not
made apparent"

O. r. 6 N. on the Open River Question.

o. R. & n. on the Open River Question.
Writing in regard to the big inland
excursion to the Cascade Locks, which
is to take place Saturday, August II,
the general passenger agent of the o.
r. & N. says:
81 think all the newspapers in East
ern Oregon ought to furnish the ad-
yertising without expense, as this is
one of the problems in which they
have been much interested in the past
and on which they have published
many articles Ia support of the same.
It has been generally understood that
this company was opposed to an open
river. On the contrary the present
management are aYerse to doing any
thing to prejudice the minds Of the
people on this question; in fact, we
would sooner run an excursion in the
interests of an open river than any
thing. We will advertise for an ex-
cursion out of Portland to meet the
people at the Cascade Locks on that
day. Furthermore we will try and
have a representative present on that
occasion who will be able to express to
the people our position on the question
of an open river"

REPORTED DROWNING.
A Boat swamped and Four Occupants
Thrown In the River.


Yesterday morning Captain Waud,
of the steamer Regulator, about two
miles below Hood River, saw boat
capsize near the shore with four men
in it; but when he arrived at the place
he could neither see the boat nor any
sign Of the men. and it is presumed
that they escaped to the shore. Mr..
Elliott has a seine crew at work at
that point. and it is supposed these
were the men who were thrown out of
the boat. No news reached Hood
River yesterday of any accident on the
river, and it is presumed the fishermen
escaped with no other injury except
the ducking in the water.
A passenger who arrived in the city
on the noon train says the boat was
seen to capsize by party of men who
were in close proximity, and, hurrying
to the scene they could see nothing on
the surface of the river. He states
that it is the general opinion of the
neighborhood that the boat sunk with
its occupants, and that the men were
drowned. The mystery will not be en-
tirely cleared up until the bodies are
found or the men turn up alive. Their
names could not be ascertained.

Smoky Weather.
This smoky weather on the Columbia

This smoky weather on the Columbia
is great hardship on navigators. In
foggy weather, where the shore can
not be discerned, the pilot depends up
on the echo from the whistle; but
smoke in the atmosphere will not allow
the sound waves to act, and, in making
landings reliance has to be placed on
conjectures where the land lies. For
this reason it is somewhat dangerous
to stop at way points where there are
no lights or other objects to guide the
man at the wheel. During the past
few days the smoke has been quite
dense, but not as bad as in former
years; and no accidents have been
chronicled thus far. With a careful,
skillful captain, such as now command
our river craft, the people may rest
satisfied that accidents of all kinds will
be avoided. -

Adjudged Insane.

c. G. Abbott, of Wapinitia, was ad-
judged insane yesterday, afternoon,
and committed to the asylum. He is
u years old, and has been a resident
of that neighborhood for number of
years. This is the second attack, and
his relatives deemed it advisable to
have him sent to the asylum where he
would receive medical treatment. He
is only violent at times, and it is pre-
sumed the attack was induced by old
age and general debility. His neigh
bors have a great respect for the old
gentleman, and feel sorry that he is
afflicted in this manner.

Ran Into a Band of Sheep.

Early Wednesday morning freight
train. coming down from Kamela
struck band of sheep in q cut, says
the Ia Grande. Chronicle. Engineer
Hansen and Fireman Caylor were on
the engine, but they could do nothing
more than witness the wholesale
slaughter of the sheep. The cut was
at the end of a sharp curve, and on a
steep grade. The engineer endeavored
to check the train by applying the
brakes and reversing the engine, but
without any material success. There
were about 2000 sheep in the band, and
it is ESTIMATED that between 200 and
800 were ground under the train.
