Great Klondike Scheme

A party of f'Pendletonites have form.
ed cooperative scheme for the
purpose of going to Klondike. The
man who lifted himself by means OF
his bootstraps is not in it with the
Pendleton fellows.
The scheme is worthy of Colonel
Sellers, the only tangible thing about
the whole business being that each
member of the party must have $500.
They are going to buy small steamer
and when the Yukon is reached will
explore "all of its promising tribu-
taries." Ice and frozen ground offers
no obstacles to this wonderful party,
for they will drill holes into the ground
and then force steam into the holes,
when the ground will at once loosen
itself to an extent permitting work.
When all the available men are landed
and at work, the steamer will act as
sort of "camp TENDER" keeping them
in supplies. 1t will be used for river
traffic also, and is expected to pay for
itself in short time.-Union Scout.

Harvest Notes.

Threshing has not yet begun in the
best wheat belts in WascO County,
though considerable grain has been
harvested on the low lands, where the
yield is generally light.
Al Bettingen's place on Three Mile
yielded little over II bushels to the
acre of fine clean wheat, where ordi-
narily the grain is cut for hay.
Between Three-Mile and the mouth
of Deschutes most of the wheat has
been threshed and has yielded from
II to l3 bushels per acre.
In the vicinity of Dufur wherever
grain has been threshed the yield has
been very satisfactory, the grain hav-
ing gone from 20 to 80 bushels to the
acre.
Threshing has not yet commenced
on Tygh Ridge and the vicinity of
Kingsley, but from all appearances it
is thought the yield in those localities
will be over 80 bushels to the acre and
some will go as high as 45.

Dan Maloney Shot by Jack Prawl on the
Streets of The Dalles.

Dan Maloney Shot by Jack fraWi Oh the
Streets of The Dalles.
About 3:45 yesterday afternoon the
people on First and Second streets
were startled by hearing three pistol
shots fired in quick succession, and it
was soon learned that Dan Maloney,
ex-marshal of Dallcs City, had been
shot. The circumstances of the shoot.
| ing as near as can be learned are as
| follows:
Maloney and Frank Heater met
| Prawl and a companion named Henry
| Metzsen in front of the Baldwin res
taurant, when Maloney struck Prawl
in the mouth, knocking him down and
kicking him as he fell. AS Prawl rose
| to his feet he picked up rock, and
warned Maloney to keep away from
him. This warning Maloney failed to
heed, advancing on Prawl who was
backing away, continually saying keep
back. When Maloney had advanced
to within about six feet of Prawl the
latter shifted the rock from his right
to his left hand, and drawing revol-
yer from his hip pocket fired three
shots in quick succession, one ball
striking Maloney two inches below the
left nipple, ranging back and dowr-
ward. passing two inches below the
heart. At first it was thought all
three of the bullets had taken effect in
Maloney's breast, but on DIR. Hollister
making an examination of the injured
man it was found that he had been 4
struck by only one ball.
Constable Frank Hill was in build
ing across the street from where the
shooting occurred, and following
Prawl up Court street to Second placed
him under arrest, Prawl throwing
down his pistol and the rock he was
carrying, and sure ndering himself to |
the officer.
1t appears that the trouble grew out |
of an old grudge arising over horse
race near Glenwood in Klickitat
county last July. Prawl and Metzsen,
both of whom are, engaged in herding
sheep near Glenwood, came to town
yesterday, and about l O'Clock met
Maloney in saloon, when the latter
started a quarrel. but was prevented
by the proprietor of the house from
creating any serious disturbance, while
Prawl retreated, insisting that he did
not want trouble. Later Prawl went
to hardware .4tablishment and
bought the pistol with which he did
the shooting. AS far as is known the
com batants did not meet again until
the time when the shooting occurred
IT is impossible as yet to determine
now serious Malaney's wounds are, his
physician being unable to definately
ocate the ball, though it is believed
% be lodged in the vicinity of the right
Kidney.
Prawl is in the custody of the sheriff,
md his examination will not be held
Until the result of Maloney's wound is
.scertained.
Jack Prawl. the man who did the
hooting, is native of Germany, %
n "a years of age, and came to this
ountry about 10 years ago. He has
ollowed sheep herding for different
arties in Klickitat county the past
even or eight years, and bears the

Last Sunday morning Ludwig Skibbe
left the house of his son-in-law, VIM.
Brune, who lives a few miles from the
river in Klickitat county opposite The
Dalles, for the purpose of shooting
birds. Not returning Sunday night,
searching parties were sent out early
Monday morning, and kept up the
hunt until about o'clock Wednesday
when the remains of Mr.. Skibbe were
found about three miles from Mr..
Brune's. He was lying with his head
upon rock, and his gun beside him,
evidently having been overcome with
heat. Justice Rorick, of Rockland.
was notified, and held an inquest over
the remains. The body was in such a
state of decomposition that it could
not be removed, therefore was buried
near where it was found.
Mr.. Skibbe was German by birth
and was about IS years of age. De-
ceased leaves six children, T. W. L.
Skibbe, of the Dalles, Mrs. Bruen, of
Klickitat county, one daughter re-
siding in Oregon City, two sons in
