FAREWELL TO A PASTOR,
When Rev. and Mrs. Hawk Left

s.
The DalIes.
The Dalles Chronicle: The basement
of the Methodist church looked
very inviting in its pretty, coy deco
ratiOns last night as a large number
OF members and friends of the church
gathered to give their pastor and his
wife a farewell party previous %: their
departure for Coffax, ash. After a
short program, DIR Eshelman, in behalf
of the members of the choir, read trib-
ute to MIR. Hawk, expressing their graft
tude for the interest and sympathy
which he has manifested in their work
n. Wheadon next spoke in behalf of the
members and friends of the church. His
remarks were well chosen and sincere as
he assured Mr.. Hawk of the appreciation
which all feel for the work which has
been done during bis passionate in The
Dalles. Among other things he desig-
mated the raising OF the church debt, for
which he labOred So arduously. Mr.
WhealdOn also assured them of the deep
regret which this church feels at their
removal. At the close of his remarks he
asked Mr.. Hawk to accept the first in
stalment of debt of gratitude which
some of his brothers in and friends of
the church were inclined TO cancel, at the
same time handing him an envelope con-
tanning $3.50. To Mrs. Hawk he also
presented a gift of money from her sis
tiers of the Good Intent Society, of which
she is president. MIR. Hawk then re.
sponded in a very pleasing manner,
| tactfully avoiding undue a!usiOn to the
subject uppermOst in his heart, as well
as that of his hearers-the parting. The
remainder of the evening was spent at
| refreshments and in social converse, each
regretfully bidding Mr. and Mrs Hawk
good bye at a late hour.

MR.. FOSTERS DISCLAIMER.
Says He Did Not Have Any Fight in
Hood & Dockery's Saloon.

Mr.. Joe Foster, of Thompson s
Station, who was reported in last
week Herald as having figured in a
difficulty in Hood q Dockery's saloon
Tuesday night, in which he was cut by
Ninian Evans, was in the city Satur
day. Mr.. Foster said that the report
was entirely incorrect and did him an
injustice, and that he was here for the
purpose of clearing up the matter. be
saws that he and Evans were not
angered at each other in the least, but
that they were playing with each other
and during the scuffle he was slightly
cut on his breast with his own knife,
the wound inflicted not being of any
consequence. He says he was not sent
off home in a vehicle by anyone as stated
in the paper, but that he left town of his
own accord to attend to his business.
He further stated that no warrant had
been served upon him and that he told
the City Marshall that il the account OF
the affair as given in the Herald was
true, he ought to be arrested and
brought to trial: that he was ready
to appear in court and vindicate him
self
The Herald obtained its report of the
affair from a thoroughly reliable gentle
man, who secured his information from
a man who claimed to be an eyewitness
10 il. Mr.. Foster says that this man
was drinking at the time, and has since
denied that he gave that version OF the
difficulty.
