Rock Pictures in Oregon.

". B. Whittemore while in Alturas,
Oregon, recently discovered some re-
markable hieroglyphics about fifteen
miles northeast from the north end Of
Warner Valley on the edge of what is
known rs the "desert" in Lake Coun-
ty. Mr.. Whittemore says the hero
clyphics had been cut with sharp in
strument IN the surface os the hard
basatlc rock. They cover the face of
tho bluff for distance Of about three
miles and consist OF pictures OF In
dians with bows, arrows and spears,
besides deer, antelope, dogs and
tiles Of various kinds. 1ntermingled
with these animals are characters
which, OF course, he could not de-
cipher. He says that the execution of
the pictures was very good, and he IS
satisfied that 1t could not have been
the work Of ordinary Indians.
Throughout the entire distance tho
characters and pictures are III rows.
Tho Iniians Of the vicinity have no
knowledge q lhe meaning Of the hiero-
glyph1cs or Of the people who ages ago
! chIsclled them on the surface OF the
rocks. From the description given,
the picture writing bears a close re
: semb!ance to that found in Mexico and
i Central America. II this slpposition
Is true, careful study might revea!
! to the archeologist some insight into
the origin or wanderings Of q dead
end forgotten civilization. san Fran

A STRANGE CASE.
Henry Bowman, a Young White Man, Visited Police Headquarters and
 Wanted to Give Himself Up.

Last night g. young white man walked into the warden's office at the city jail and stated that he wanted to give himself up. He talked in an ineoherent way and said that everybody was following him around the streets
 The man stated his name was Henry Bowman and that he was 25 years old.
 In rambling. disconnected way he told the following story in which the officers place little credence:
 He had been employed as a conductor
 on car by the Mobile Light and Rail- ! way company since last November. Last Saturday he reported off and got a leave of absence from Superintendent J. E. Fincher. On that day he was about S2 10 short in his change.
 Last Monday he left Mobile for this city and arrived here about four o'clock yes terday afternoon. He claimed that a young man named W. Fl. Ray, son of the postmaster at High Springs, Fla, and himself were preparing to travel for the Florida Book company and that Ray was to furnish the money. He himself had $1 whSn he arrived here yesterday afternoon.
 While walking around the streets yes- terday evening, he claimed, he met Su- perintendent J. E. Fincher. President John Wilson and Vice President I IT II pany, and that some people were fol- lowing him around the streets He said that it worried him a great deal to be fol- lowed and if he was wanted for anything he had come to give himself up. He said his father, Peter Bowman, was at one time sheriff of Stuben county Ind, and that they lived at Angola, the county seat. He has a brother in Mobile working on the street car line. He has worked for many big concerns, handled large amounts of money and was never short in his accounts except for S2. 10 with
 the Mobile company.
 He was allowed to sit around the office and an investigation was made in his
 case. He claimed to have gotten in town
 at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, but bartender stated that he was in
 his saloon yesterday morning. Capt. Weir believes the young man is
 demented, but his only warrant for say
 ing so is the appearance and general
 manner of Bowman. No credit is placed
 in his story. He also claimed that a
 we'll known lawyer in this city had charge
 of an estate for him and that other rela-
 lives of his were worth $150,000 He is
 quite an enigma to the officers. He is
 tall and slender and wears black suit of
 clothes with white sweater With the
 exception of a small black mustache he
 is clean shaven. His eyes and hair are
 dark. aAtA I'

A BAD NEGRO.
Will Snow, a Blossburg Miner Stabbed Charlie Jones and a Woman Last
 Night, the Latter Seriously.

Last night, at 7:15 o'clock, Officer Per due was called to Avenue B, between Twenty-thrd and Twenty fourth streets, by Charlie Jones. colored, who was stab- bed twice by Will Snow, another negro
 Snow is a bad negro from Blossburg, and came to town yesterday. Last night he went to ,he above house. He found Jones there, and quarrel ensued. Words were passed, and Snow drew a spring back dirk knife and stabbed Jones twice in the muscles of the right arm. The lat ter ran out of the house and hurried to Twentieth stree. for an officer.
 When the officer reached the house he found that Snow had turned upon 9 wo- man, after Jones departed, and sta bbed her three times, once in the left arm and twice in the left breast. Snow after his 'olnody work, drew a big revolver and rushed out of the back door. The trouble occurred in a room on the second floor of the building.
 Jones is mo- seriously hurt, but it is thought that he woman is in a very dangerous con6i+ior Her name is un- known to the officers.
 Snow is NSu hnu,,n as bad negro, and has been in prison before. After he left the house he went to barber shop on Twentieth street and had his mus tache shaved off. At this point all trace of him was lost.
 The dummy trains on the Ensley dum- my line and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham passenger train were watched by the officers, but the negro succeeded in evading arrest. At a late hour last night Snow was still at large, but close lookout was being kept for him. The woman was in very critical condition. -

Mrs. Caroline c. Lowell and Miss Flor ida V. Copeland opened their art studio in the old postoffice building, corner of Nineteenth street and Third avenue, yes terday, with reception from 4 to 6. A large number of ladies and gentlemen a.- tended and were highly entertained by a viewscf the paintings and Keramic art objects on exhibition. Mrs Lowell was represented by studies in oil and water color, done during her sojourn in Paris last winter, and by collection of minia- ture on ivory. Her work bore is own testimony of merit, which was continued by the general verdict of the visitors.
 Miss Cepeland's exhibit of china dec- oration, both her own and her pupils work, reflected great credit upon her skill as an artis: and instructor in her line.
 These ladies were assited in receiving theip guests by Mrs. F. Hardy, Mrs O. W. Underwood, Missss Ethel Sharpe, Car rie Hill and Alice Rumph.
 Many who would have attended were kept away by the rain Upon this ac- count Mrs, Lowell ard Miss Copeland announced that their studio would be held open to visitors today and Satur- day.
 
 The event of the season with the Cionians was in the dramatic recital of Miss Rachael Baumann, Birmingha m s recent social acquisition, at Seals hall. yes. erday evening. The hall was packed to it's utmost capacity, and the pro- granme was enjoyed in manner com plimentary to the fair artiste.
 Miss Baumann proved herself an elo- cutionist of rare qualifications, and her Humorous selection were the more appre- cia:ed because of their drollery. The pro- gramme was replete with numerous and pathetic selections, with sterner stuff to give tone.
 The musical feature was by no means Tn unimportant one, and Miss Patton easily won the honors of this portion of the entertainment.

JUDGE VINCENT OUT.

lie VIII Withdraw from the Luetcer
Case.
There is a strong probability that
Ex.Judge Vincent will not appear as
counsel for Adolph L. Luetgert in his
second trial, which is scheduled for
next week. Luetgert sent for Ex.As.
sistant States Attorney Ramsay Thurs
day at Chicago to consult with him
relative to taking charge of the new
trial. A very heated conversation, it
is said, took place between the big sau-
sagemaker and his counsel at the Jail
Wednesday. Ex-Judge Vincent urged
Luetgert to agree to reasonable con-
tinuanoe of the case, but he was obdu-
rate. Mr.. Vincent then told Luetgert
that he had neglected his own business
for three months to try the case and he
now proposed to have little time for
himself. Luetgert became very angry
and sent for Attorney Ramsay Thurs.
