Amos Underwood of White Salmon |
dropped into our sanctum on Monday !
and incidently remarked that "44 years
ago today the Indian massacre at the |
Cascades took place" He and John
Chitman, Jas. Allen, l.. i. Peck, Henr! |
Sheppard, Jim Thompson, Capt. Baugh-
man were on the south side of the Col
umbia river and saw the bloody work OF
the red skins. The party could see the
Indians trying to fire Bradford's store
by throwing torches from the blutf. I.
f. Bradford, now of Hood River was one
of the firm of Bradford Bros, but he
was in the East at the time. Lawrence
Coe, brother of Capt. Coe, was a clerk
in the store and took leading part in
defending the same. The number OF
whites killed on that day was 22.
The smallpox patients at the town
hospital are all about well. 1t is
thought they will be ready to leave the
hospital the latter part of this week.
The prompt and efficient work OF the
mayor and town council and the physi-
clans of the town in quaranting the
smallpox case prevented the spread OF
the disease and thereby saved the COM
munity from heavy loss. Purchasing
the pest house and caring for the family
sent there has cost the town about
81 600, but we may consider that we are
getting off cheap.
A boy from Mt. Hood, about ten years
of age, rode into Hood River Monday
morning, on horseback. He accosted
,Judoe Prather with the question, els
this Hood River?" The Judge knew the
boy and saw that he had lost his bear
ings, and to have little sport told him
he was in The Dalles "Well," said the
boy, 81 must have passed through Hood
River and didn't know it. Ditn't know
was riding so fast" And when the
tears came to the boys eyes the judge
told him he was in Hood River and all
right.
We do not know who is responsible,
but the GLACIER notes with regret that
the fine oak trees along State street,
between Watson's place and Capt. Coe s.
are being grubbed out. There was nc
necessity to destroy these handsome
shade trees that have taken centuries tc
attain their growth. There was not toe
many trees on this part of the street
and If they stood too close to the wagon
tract the road could have been made
around them.
