Was 1t Murder?

In conversation with James G. Kid
we'll, son of James Kidwell, who is
supposed to have committed suicide at
Baker City last week by taking poison,
he seems to have doubts about his
father committing the deed, says an
exchange. 1t is learned, he stated,
that the old man had considerable
money on his person the evening be-
fore his death, and when found had
but two-bit piece in his pocket. He
advances the theory that his father
was doped and robbed by someone and
from the effects of the drug died. He
does not know how to explain the let
ter found on the body but thinks it
was decoy, written by someone who
knows the family, to throw off sus-
picion. The matter is to be thoroughly
Investigated, and if sufficient evidence
is adduced to indicate murder, steps
will be taken to bring to justice the
guilty party or parties.

tanned by this means, and he claims
that an engine constructed on his
plans, of the same dimensions, has very
much more power than one constructed
on those now used. Mr.. Parrott has
devoted fifteen years to perfecting his
mechanical apparatus, and now has
an engine that will work a complete
revolution in machinery. A practica
test was made of the engine this after
noon, and it worked to the complete
satisfaction of those who witnessed
the experiment.

ITE1S IN BRIEF.
From Saturdays Daily.

DIR. Dietrich, of Dufur, was in the
city yesterday. He drilled the hospi-
tai corps Thursday night.
The corner grocery of J. B. Crossen
had on sale today green peas, aspara-
gus, onions, radishes, spinach, turnips,
ripe cherries and straw berries, oranges
and lemons.
The Dalles takes the lead in early
fruits and vegetables, and today, from
the garden of Mrs. Eben, were'dug new
potatoes. We do not believe any por-
tion of the northwest can equal this.
Rain began falling last night, and
has continued all day. 1t is expected
the rain has extended over a large
. portion of Wasco county. This will
be of inestimaDle benefit to growing
grain.
The following deed was fled with
the county clerk yesterday: Robert
Mays and wife and L. E. Grove and
wife to T. C. Dallas; lot 5 blk G, in
first addition west to town of Hood
River; $3.50.
A telephone message received today
from the Locks says rain has fallen
steadily there, and the grounds are
not in condition for a picnic. For this
reason the excursion tomorrow will be
postponed for two weeks. Tickets
purchased will be good for June 9th.
The record of the police court this
morning was up to it's usual gauge.
There were two arrests made last
night, and these were turned over to
the mercy of the recorder when he
opened his Office for business today,
and were fined in the usual amount.
Mrs. ]. B. Crossen and daughter
Emily, and Mrs. Crossen's mother,
Mrs. II. Marlin, were passengers on
the Regulator this morning to Portland.
Mrs. Crossen and daug hter will visit
friends in the metropolis, and Mrs.
Marlin will go to Oregon City, where
she will spend few day with old ac-
quaintances.
Jesse Brown was in Corvallis Satur-
day and reports that Robert Jones, iv-
ing on Beaver creek, killed an elk re-
Gently that dressed $40 pounds. 1t was
started back in the mountains by dogs
which ran it down onto Pete Richards g
place, where it was shot. Mr.. Brown
claims this to be the first elk killed in
his neighborhood for twenty y-five years.
A young man named Thos. Lo-
renzen, at work for Mr.. Vanbibber,
received severe bruises last Thursday
by the horse which he was riding fall
ing on him. He was held under the
saddle for while; but managed to ex-
tricate himself without suffering seri-
GUS injury. At present he is able to
walk around, but is yet quite lame.

Stealing Horses.

Last Saturday night at the dead
hour of midnight Geo. Sebring, who
resides on Pine Creek, was awakened
by the unusual barking of his watch
dog, says the Long Creek Eagle. Get
ting up and going to the window, he
discovered man near the house on
horseback rounding up his horses and
slowly driving them out of the pasture.
Dressing himself quickly and arming
himself with shotgun he put out to
welcome the thief. He succeeded in
getting within 100 yards of the man
without being discovered. The
stranger caught sight of him and
wheeling his riding animal spurred
away. No sooner had he turned than
the contents of the shotgun was dis
charged at him, with no apparent
effect than to cause the intruder to dis
appear more rapidly.

The Berry Season.

Strawberries have been ripe for
some time, and it will take several
weeks to pick the crop and send it to
the eastern market. The returns have
been very encouraging. and Oregon
strawberries are eagerly sought in
cities east of the Rocky mountains.
Last year, by reason of the flood, the
berry harvest of Hood River was al
most a total failure; but this year it
will be more than usually remunera-
tive. A great many are now engaged
in picking berries, and these will be
employed for many weeks yet.

To Summer Pasture.

Hardly day passes that sheep are
not driven through the streets of the
city to the ferry landing. This is the
season of the year when focks are
taken to summer pasturage after being
sheared, and the sheepmen of Wasco
usually feed their herds in the vicinity
OF Mt. Adams in Washington. In
reaching the pasture they cross the
river at this point, and are driven
through Klickitat county distance OF
thirty or forty miles.

Australian Lady Bugs.

Mr.. E. Schanno received this morn.
ing number of Australian lady bugs
from the State. Board of Horticulture Of
California. This insect feeds on the
San Jose scale, and has done good work
in ridding California orchards of the
pest. These bugs Mr.. Schanno will
turn loose in some of the orchards in
this vicinity, and he has strong hopes
that in little while the scale will
not be known in this vicinity. Our
fruit and trees have been injured, and,
in many instances, destroyed and rem
dered unfit for market by this Insect,
and the bugs will be given perfect free
dom to feed on the scale.

A HALF CENTURY AGO,
Interesting Notes From an Old Paper
Printed In 1343.

Interesting Notes From an Old Paper
Printed in 1343.
Mr.. J. c. Baldwin has copy of The
Bee, daily paper printed in Boston
January Is, 1843. In the news columns
is an account of Commodore Jones
taking possession of Monterey, Calf,
from the Mexicans, and, afterwards re-
linquishing it onhaving learned that
war had not been declared between the
United States and Mexico. 1t also
contains synopsis of the message OF
President Tyler to the senate, in refer
ence to what had been done regarding
the quintupal treaty. This article on
Washington news closes with para
graph noting the fact that the "Ore-
gon discussion had been postponed. I"
President Houston, of the republic of
Texas, is mentioned as having con-
vened congress. News from away out
in the west is dated at Nashville, Tenn,
and the Pacific coast at that time was
almost terra incognito. 1t is quite in
teresting to peruse this old paper, as it
gives one an insight into affairs half
century ago, and as every journal re-
fleets the community in which it is
published, this may be said of The Bee
regarding Boston in 1S43.

No Wheat Aphis This YearI

A Willamette valley exchange says:
early in the spring many farmers re-
ported the wheat aphis present more
or less in several localities. In con-
versation with a number of farmers
the past few days we learn that very
few of the bugs can now be seen, and
the prospects are that the wheat crop
will not be damaged by them. Indica-
tions point to a bountiful grain crop,
and the advancing price of wheat adds
q strong element of hope for better
times this fall.

.Nothlng New Under the sunni

The Louisville Courier Journal quoted
scripture against certain mannish cos
TUNES affected by advanced women,
but the particular passage was vague
and unsatisfactory in the application
Much more explicit is the following
from Ezekiel xfii:18-20: "Thus sayeth
the Lord God: Woe to the women
that sew pillows to their armholes.
Behold I am against your pill
lows, and will tear them from your
arms" 1t is held in theological cir
cles that when Ezekiel wrote this he
saw in the dim future the craze for
puffed sleeves.

An Early Settler In Oregon Relates Some
Interesting Facts Regardidg DIR.
McLouPhlin.

Mr.. G. E. Chrisman called at the
Office this morning, and in CONVEX
sation we learned the fact that he ar
rived in Oregon 81 years ago. He
pays the highest compliment to DR..
Mclaughlin, who was one of natures
noblemen. AS a boy he recollects him
going among the immigrants who had
lately arrived from the east and sup
plying their wants. He was very kind
to children, and as pleasant remem-
brance he recalls the incident of the
doctor placing his hand on his head
and asking him pleasantly what he
could do for ''my little fellow" That
winter, Mr.. Chrisman says, the first
flour was ground in Oregon City. The
immigrants had a very toilsome jour-
ney across the plains that year, and
were destitute when they arrived in
Oregon. In this emergency DR.. Nc
Loughlin was the friend in need, and
his kindness relieved their sufferings.
His memory will always remain green
with old pioneers, and now, when this
portion of the union is connected with
the others by rail and telegraph, COM
PARSONS are frequently made between
existence as it was and as it is.
