.HEPPNER HORROR
DEATH LIST ESTIMATES GROW.
INC SOMEWHAT.
Reports of Thursday and Friday
We're too LOw..Believed Identf.
fed Dead Will Reach 200, and
That Actual Loss of Life Will
he Considerably Greater.

Heppner, Or, June 2O.-Develop-
ments Ct the past pa hours show that
the Heppner death list will pass the
estimates of the last two days. Now
prominent citizens are beginning to
make estimates from 250 up, no one
falling below the former number. Not
all these bodies will be found. Some
are washed to the Columbia river, forty
miles away, and some are probably
buried in cellar bottoms right in town.
There are several large shifts of men at
work, and corpses are being found many
miles away. At the rate the bodies are
coming in the list will easily reach 200
actually found, identified and buried.
There are doubtless dozens more.
Bodies Are Frozen.
While the bodies found Thursday and
Friday were in horrible condition,
many were frozen stiff when brought
into the hot syn, a condition rendered
possible bby their covering of hail
Great banks of frozen hailstones still
lie in the drifts with bodies. Where
people were rolled before a wall of hail
during the food they were stripped na-
ked and their flesh whipped into a solid
bruise.
Five carloads of provisions have ar
rived at Lexington for the destitute.
The work of the relief committee is
welcoming more arduous. Hungry and
destitute families are being found and
are being cared for as rapidly ss pos
sible.
Superintendent O'Brien. of the Ore
gon Railroad Navigation Company,
has arrived and hurried five wagons
out to load provisions. Trains may
reach Heppner by Sunday, when all
danger of want will be passed.
The relief fund has cached sec, 900,
and it is estimated that $4,000 will
be sent in within the next week.

TIES Up A CRUISER.
Virginia Court Enjoins Launching
of the Galveston at
Richmond.

Richmond, Va, June 20.-Judge
Grinnan, of the Richmond chancery
court, has granted an injunction re-
straining Lieutenants Thesis and Gros-
deck, United States navy, from pro.
ceeding further toward the launching of
the cruiser Galveston, under construc-
ton in the Trigg shipyards here. The
injunction was granted on petition of
S. H. Halves & Co., OF this city. sup
ply creditors of Trigg & Co., now in
the hands of receiver, and restrained
the officials and all other persons from
in any way interfering with any of the
property at the Trigg yards under con-
troll of Mi.burn T. Myers, the receiver
and especially the cruiser Galveston
and the dredge Benyard, under con-
struction for the government.
Lieutenants Thesis and Grosdeck
were sent by the navy department to
superintend the launching OF the Gal
weston, which it was the intention of
the navy department to send to Nor
folk navy yard for completion. All
preparations had been made for launch
ing the vessel Monday next.
Washington, June 90 1T is said
here that proper respect will be shown
mandates of the courts go long as they
keep within their jurisdiction. but the
navy department cannot submit to any
interference with its rights. The cruis-
er Galveston at Richmond, it is stated,
will be launched when ready. Secre-
tary Moody is not at all disposed to act
hastily regarding the Galveston, but
indefinite delay upon the construction
of the vessel in the event of an interna-
tional emergency might prove a grave
matter, and the depai tment is therefore
bound to proceed with the work as rap
idly as possible.
Must Keep Hands Off
Attorney General Knox was unwill-
ing to be quoted until his opinion rem
dered to the president az to the juris-
diction of the government over the Gal
weston, has been made public.
1t can be stated, however, that the
attorney general recognizes as eminent
~ we'll taken the contention advanced
by Rear Admiral Bowles, chief of the
bureau of construction and repair, that
no court has the right to interfere with
the work on war vessel and that the
government would be warranted in CAL
ling federal troops to protect its agents
engaged in such work.
1t is not expected that the govern
meut will have 10 resort to a show OF
naval or military force to execute its
ORDERS.

CHARGED WIT FORGERY.
Grand jury May Return Second In.
dictment Against Machen.

dictment Against Machen'
Washington, June 19-It is believed
the grand jury will soon be asked by
the postoffice department authorities to
find another indictment against A. W.
Machen, former superintendent of the
free delivery system. The charge, it is
said, will be forgery, based on the cash.
ing OF a check for 1863, drawn by the
cashier of the New York postoffice in
favor of Henry L. Lorenz, OF Toledo,
Ohio. Iii claimed the money was to
have been sent to MIR. Lorenz in care of
Mr.. Machen.
The check was cashed in this city,
being endorsed by Frank X. Raymond,
who says he had the check cashed for
Machen. Mr.. Lorenz has declared that
the signature both of the check and of
the voucher accompanying it are forger-
les. He declares he has not received a
cent ont the money and has no knowl-
edge of the transaction.
The forgery with which Mr.. Machen
is charged is alleged to have occurred
in 1894, when Henry L. Lorenz, as
commissioner of the court of claims,
was engaged in adjusting the claims Of
letter carriers. The check on which
Machen is accused of indorslng Lorenz'
name was issued on voucher drawn
on the postmaster at New York. AS
Mr.. Lorenz was going away on a conf
Dental mission, request was made
that the cash should be sent to Mr..
Machen to be delivered to Lorenz.
The general impression at the court
house is that the Indictment will be re.
turned within two or three days and it
is intimated that other indictments
will be returned at the same time.
