Bow ders Started Down Toward
Them by a Volcanic
Disturbance.
SEVERAL OF THE PARTY ARE
INJURED.
Miss Fay Killingsworth Hurled Into
CrevaSse and Buried Beneath
Rocks and Earth.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. Sit was only
through mere chance-a miracle, some
might say-that the party OF mountain
climbers that made the ascent of Mount
Hood last Wednesday was not buried be-
meath an avalanche of rock and ashes.
There was an eruption as the party, of
which William Killingsworth and his
daughter, Miss Fay, were mem bers, was
making the descent Of the mountain, and
the wonder is not that only a few were in
jured, but that the party escaped at all.
The party, which consisted of twenty
one persons, had reached the summit of
Mount Hood in safety at about $40
o'clock in the afternoon, and had started
down again, when it met with an expe-
rience that none of its members will care
to pass through again. They had come to
crevasse, some four feet deep, which
about half of their mum Der had crossed,
when they were startled by rum bling
sound resent bling the roar of distant
thunder or artillery. The next instant
the earth trem bled and smoke and steam
were seen issuing from lowering cliff di-
rec.ly above them. The air seemed to be
filled with flying rocks, and an avalanche
of powders came tearing down the noun
tainside directly toward the point where
the helpless little knot of mountaineers
were standing.
There was no time to think, no way of
escape, and no power on earth could stop
the downward flight of those leaping
bowlders. In an instant almost the ava
lanche was upon them. One of the larg-
est bow der5 must have struck near Miss
Fay Killingsworth, who was standing be-
tween her sisters Dora and Mamie, for she
was lifted into the air, her body being
twisted into circle so that her hands and
feet touched, and thrown into crevasse
some ten feet deep, where she was after
ward picked up unconscious. The bowl
der cleared this crevasse and then con-
tinued its fight down the mountainside.
The rest of the party escaped more for
tunately.
The guide who accomp panied the party
at once went to Miss Killingsworth's res
cue. Upon getting down into the crevasse
into which she had been thrown he saw
only piece of her dress. BY dint of hard
work however, he soon had her body un-
covered.
The young lady's face and hands were
bruised and bleeding and she was uncon-
scious. A small flask of brandy was the
only restorative at hand, and this was
applied in all haste, with the desired
result. Miss Kiliingsworth had to be
carried down the mountain, and then DR..
Raffely was summoned by telephone from
Portland, as 1t was feared that she was
seriously and perhaps fatally injured.
The eruption lasted but a few minutes.
After the rocks and ashes that were
thrown up had fallen and the powders
reached their destination at the foot of
the mountain all was serene again. Sew
eral others in the party were struck by
the rocks, but none of them were seri-
ously injured.

The livestock exhibit ont at the race
track will be one of the finest departments
of the fair. Herds came in on every
freight train to-day. 1t may take this de
partment n day or two to put on its bes t
appearances.
Cassasa's band will supply the music for
the nineteen days of the fair. There will
be no formal opening exercises. The fair
will just open, the ticket-takeIs will take
their places, the band will play and spec
tators will be made welcome. Next week
there is to be a big speech by Senator
Henry M. Teller of Colorado and other
prominent Eastern politicians.
Special pride is taken in the departments
of horticulture and viticulture. As these
resources are two of the States great
specialties, so are they particularly extern
sive and attractive departments OF the
fair.
The exhibits altogether exceed those OF
former years, it is said, and the fair prom
ises to be the most noteworthy held by

ager.
A four-stack smelter is to be built, hav-
ing a capacity of 400 tons OF ore per day
and giving steady employment to $50 men.
British Columbia, Alaska and South
American ores are to be smelted. London,
Montreal and New York capitalists are in
terested in the enterprise, at the head OF
which is c. D. Simpson, wealthy coal
mine operator of Scranton, Pa.
Work will commence at once, that the
plant may be in operation within six
months.
Manager Rust is quoted as having stated
that the smelter goes to British Columbia
instead of this State, because the British
capitalists interested would not invest
money in the United States at present
owing to the silver agitation.
Mr.. Rust said before leaving that the
American tariff on silver and lead ores
also had much to do with it. Four
months ago ii was intended to quadrupie
the size of The Tacoma smelter at once,
but this improvement will now be delayed
until the currency question is settled.
The Vancouver company will have q
capital of 81, ,0OO,O 900, all of which is re-
ported to be paid in.

third annual fair OF the State Agricultural
Society. Tomorrow the big show at one
of the handsomest and most spacious pa
vilons and at one of the fastest tracks
that was ever pressed by horseshoe will
open. The crowd ls coming, and the

Out at the beautiful pavilion everything
is hurry and hustle. A great force of
painters, decorators, carpenters, exhibit
ors and expressmen were rushing to and
fro to-day, bringing exhibits out of boxes
and order out of chaos. The roofs of the
pavilion are one vast spectacle of glowing,
moving colors. Flags and penants and
graceful festoons hang from the rafters.
1t at once brings to the memory visions of
the Midwinter Fair.
The exhibits were not all in this after
noon, but the work of arranging them con-
tinued with an extra force of men last
night, and they were hard at work until
far into tonight. In fact it was the inten-
tion not to stop work at all until the
pavilion was presentable for the opening.
An idea of the extent OF the show NAV be
had from the fact that in All annex to the
main pavilion there are 1900 coops for prize
chickens, and every COOP is taken. The
chicken show alone will bring procession
after procession of spectators. Rart of the
space of Machinery Hall was given up to
the poultry exhibit.
Though all the pictures are not yet hung.
it is said that the art gallery will present
greater variety of pictures and be finer
exhibit artistically than that at any pre-
ceding fair. This morning there were
great piles of boxes and cases containing
rare works OF art on the floor, but they
were being rapidly opened and the pictures
hung by an energetic corps of workers. 1t
was promised that the art gallery would

FIGHT NEAR UTRERS.

T,co Men Engage In Bloody Combat
on the Plains.
FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 3l.-Zach D. Baker
and J. V. Cloyd we're brought to the
County Jail by Deputy Sheriff Timmins
and Deputy Constable Henry from Caru-
thers fifteen miles south of this CITY, early
this morning. The two men had fought q
desperate battle on the plains near Caru-
theirs, during which Baker almost cut
Cloyd's coat to pieces with a razor, but
the blade failed to penetrate to tie flesh
Cloyd used rocks in defense, and cut a
severe cash in his opponents scalp. He
is much smaller than Baker, and suffered
the most punishment. He was horribly
bruised about the face and his features
were unrecognlzaole.
Each man claims that the other robbed
him of $50 while they were driving along
the road. Baker says that he gave Cloyd
the beating and used the razor on him to
get him to give up the uoney he had
stolen. Baker had fallen asleep, and
claims that Cloyd then took the money
from his pocket. Cloyd, on the other
hand, says that it was q genuine case of
hold-up. He had $50 in his pocket and
Baker knew this. Baker demanded it,
and upon refusal began beating CIoyd
and slashing at him with the razor. Baker
finally overpowered him and took the
money.
The officers do not know which story to
believe.

showed up at Payne station and offered
Perry's watch for sale TO tho storekeeper,
who, luckily for justice, bought 1T and
afterward sold it to a man named Smith,
who carried ii to Humboldt County, Cal.
Wood, not hearing from his old smeter
employe, reported his suspicious to Sheriff
Ferguson OF Del Norte County, Cal, and
also to the Sheriff of Josephine County,
Or. The Del Norte Sheriff (Ferguson)
hearing about the sale OF the watch fol-
lowed up the clew and located the watch
in Humboldt County. Ferguson then
turned his attention to the finding OF
Perry's body, for although the miner sus-
pected Nealson yet there was only the evil
dence of the watch against him and to
arrest him might defeat the ends OF JUS
tice.
In the meantime Nealson went to or
near Crescent City to see his wife, from
whom he had been separated. He told
her that his father had died in the VII
lamette Valley and had lett him a small
fortune. He bought furniture and other
wise fitted up the house, but never sus-
pected that the eyes of Fred Ferguson
were upon him night and day. Time
after time the Sheriff searched for Perry's
body, and after five months perseverance
he was rewarded by finding it yesterday in
an old well some distance from the Payne
stare station.
Whether Nealson has been regularly ar
rested or not cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned, but word has reached here that
forty placer miners have taken charge of
Nealson at Summit, and he is in danger
of Ivnchinp

MURDERED IN DEL NORTE
Charles Perry's Body Found by
Sheriff Ferguson Near
Crescent City.
Placer Miners Are Holding Captive
Man Supposed to Be His
Slayer.

GRANTS PASS, Or, Aug. 31.-Infor-
nation was received here to-day from
Sheriff Fred Ferguson of Del Norte
County, Cal, that the body of Charles
Perry had been found in we'll on the old
wagon road between Kerbyville, Or, and
Crescent City, Cal.
Perry had been employed at the Brown
Copper Company's smelter at W aldo, and
when the plant was closed last spring for
Improvements he was induced by a man
named Nealson to go with him to sup
posedly rich placer claim about twenty
m lies from Waldo. in the direction of the
coast. Perry, before starting on the trip,
asked the advice of W. H. Wood, who had
charge of the smelter, and Wood advised
him not to go, as there were no placer
claims in California or Oregon that would
give so cents to the pan, as had been rep
resented by NeaIson, and if a man had a
claim half as rich he need never work a
day.
! "And," added Wood, II am an old
timer in Oregon, Charley. Beware of that
man."
In spite of Woods advice and warning
Perry left with his man. A few evenings
after their departure N ealson. it is claimed.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 31.-The steam

noon from Yokohama, Japan, with the
following advices: Formosa continues in
state OF rebellion against japanese rule
Japanese forces are kept constantly on the

Discussing this state of affairs the japan
Daily Mail urges the immediate suppress

certain foreign countries that have long
turned longing eyes upon Formosa, and
are most anxious to gain possession of it.
If in view of these repeated disturban noes
and failures to administer the island the
world decides that Japan Is not competent
to hold it, what bitter disgrace 1t will be
to her."
Continuing, the paper says the only way
in which the Government can raise funds
for the suppression of disorder and to
bring about peace is "to take a really bold
step, raising loan, domestic and foreign
on security of the island. If Formosa be
placed in pledge there would be no diff

They Are Already Preparing for the
Convention to Be Held Here in
July 1897.


There is no lack of enthusiasm among
the Christian Endeavorers on the ques-
ton of the coming international Christian
Endeavor convention, which will be held
here next July, and each week shows some
evidence of new arrangements having been
made.
communication has been sent to the
trustees of the Mechanics Institute, ask
ing for the use of the Mechanics Pavilion
as one of the great meeting places for the
convention. The Endeavorers do not ex-
pect that the Pavilion will be able to bold
more than one-third of the delegates and
their friends who will be in attendance,
and so arrangements will be made to bring
from the East the two large tents which
were used at the international convention
held at Washington, ID. c., last July.
The tents will each accommodate 10, 600
and it has not yet been determined Just
where to locate them.
The trustees of Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church have sent communication
to the '97 convention committee Offering
them the use of the large lot west OF

account of the location OF the church it is
not thought probable that the offer will
be accepted. Union Square has been sug-
gested provided perm ission can be OBJ
