Salem, Jan. 15.-George f. Cham.

ceremonies at the state capitol we're at

message to the effect that the tran

Stone House, and that the half-breed

They had held a conference before
the return of Follett, and while thew
were suspicious of him. 1t seemed so
probable that his story was true, that
they decided to accompany him,
Metzger arming himself and claiming
that he was match for the Canadian,
Follett came at the appointed time
bringing two horses with him. and
Bertha leaving Julian Byrd to look
after her father, she and Metzger
started out with the Canadian toward
the Stone House. They had not gone
far, however. until they were sur.
by the four braves, who had
accompanied Follett, and were In
their power. Follett took immediate

Speaker Harris announced the joint
committee to canvass the vote for gov
ernor, impartially choosing two Demo
Gratis and two Republicans. The can
vassing committee retired to one corner
of the hall, procured table and there,
with Secretary of State Dunbar, began
to open the sealed envelopes from the
various county clerks containing a GER
titled statement of the votes of the sew
eral counties. The returns were al
most precisely the same as the un-
official record tabulated by Secretary
Dunbar, except that an error of 40
votes had been made in the Furnish
vote for Malheur county. The figures
show that Furnish received an aggre-
gate of Al ,61l votes, and Chamberlain
41,S57, a plurality of 246. Speaker
Harris then performed briefly and
without flourish his duty Of declaring
George Z. Chamberlain duly elected
governor Of Oregon. Committees were
named to notify the retiring and incom-
ing governors that the legislature was
ready to receive them, and then the
joint convention took recess till 2:15
P. M.
At 2:15 the procession of state officers
filed down the aisle. 1t was headed by
Governor Geer, followed by Governor
elect CHAMBERLAIN. Then came the leg
islative committee and the chief Justice
and others.
After all had taken their seats, Gov
ernor Geer delivered his farewell ad-
dress, occupying about an hour. The
oath of Office was then administered to
Chamberlain, and Immediately after
the new governor delivered his inaug-
ural address.

Charge" came the command from

Every shot that was fired was fred

charged upon the savages, sparing
none and taking no prisoners, for
they refused to surrender and did not
ask for mercy. To the brink OF the

across to fall before the rifles in the
hands OF the guards at the openings

history of the country and the Indian

was made famous In history. It was
made so by a German soldier In Gen.

the battle was over. as the German
wiped the perspiration and powder
stains from his face he said:
"Dey call dis Hells Drap.' bnt I

that time the battle ground and the

adopted the name as the proper one.
Among the few who escaped were
Chief Egan and Dan Follett. At the |
last moment they plunged into the
raging stream and swan with the
current for long distance, reached |
the distant shore and then assembled |
a precipice of rimrocks. and as they
passed over the summit they waved |
their hands in defiance at their pur-
suers.
