.FEUD AT PRINEVILLE
PRINEvILLE TOWN MARSHAL
ASSAULTS BR0THER-IN-LAw.
Injured Man Was Government Wit
ness In Trial of Congressman
Williamson.

If reports are true the trials and
conviction of Congressman William
son have left the stain of feud at
Prineville. Crook county, Williamson 8
home town. 1t is alleged witnesses
who appeared against Williamson are
meeting with much unpleasantness
lately.
One instance is the unprovoked as
sault made by Town Marshal r. j.
Harrington on his brother -in- law,
Wilford J. Grain, last week. The
former has been arrested and placed
under bonds in the sum of $500.
Grains uncle, "Bony" Lytle, swore to
complaint against Harrington,
charging him with assault, and the
town marshal was bound over to the
Crook county grand jury, called to
meet next May. Harrington appeared
before Justice of the Peace John
Luckey and gave bonds for his appear
ance
According to the statements of eye
witnesses of the attack made ON Grain
by Harrington, there was absolutely,
no justification for the brutal treat
ment to which the young rancher was
subjected Grain is Of slight physi-
que, whereas the marshal is man Of
mature years and strong build.
Two of the men who witnessed the
assault, Alex Elliott and L. MiiRl6r,
can substantiate the fact that as
Grain was walking along the street on
the way to the livery stable where he
had put up his team, Harrington ap-
preached and took Grain by the arm,
at the same time saying:
"You come along with me. The
marshal was not provided with any
warrant or subpoena and Grain drew
back from him remarking:
II have done nothing and / don't
see why | should be arrested"
Without more ado the marshal
pulled out "billy" and struck Grain
on the jaw. The latter fell to the
pavement, and while lying thus in
defenseless condition was struck three
heavy blows on the head.
As result of the severe injuries
sustained in consequence of Harring-
toms assault upon him, Grain remain
ed partially paralyzed for period of
several days
"Bony'' Lytle, who swore to the
complaint against Harrington, is
authority for the statement that the
trouble between Grain and his brother
in-law arose over the latter's dissatis
faction with the testimony given by
Grain at the Williamson trials.
A circumstance confirming the fact
that the witnesses for the government
in those trials are having life made
unpleasant for them in Prinevil1e is
the recent encounter between Grain s
fathey-in-law, John S. Watkins, and
George Barns, the lawyer who ap-
peared at the third Williamson trial
in the role of charter witness for DR..
Gesner. No blows were struck by
Watkins and Barnes, but some very
bitter personalities were exchanged by
the two

Mitchell is Near to Death

Portland, Dec. 7.--Senator Mitchell
is iu serious, if not dangerous, con-
dition resulting from loss of blood
after having four teeth extracted ear
ly today. After Mitchell's return
from the dentists office this morning
blood continued to flow and at o.
clock this afternoon he became SO
weakened that he had the dentist take
him to the hospital. From that hour
physicians worked increasingly until
after z o. clock this evening before the

Besides Mitchell's advanced years
the severe mental strain which he
has undergone during the past year
owing to his connection with the land
fraud prosecutions in this state, has
left him weakened physically and
in poor condition to spare the drain on
his system occasioned by any loss of
blood.

a Mvsterions Hermit.

In Crook county, Ore, there is a
mysterious man and the people in the
vicinity call him the Mysterious
man of the desert. +" The man lives
in dugout, and who he is or where
he came from is not known. No di-
rect information is being sought by
the people, as whenever they ap-
proach too close to his residence the
muzzle of big rifle slides gently into
view. Two men, braver than the
rest, made a visit to the place and
investigated when the owner was not
at home. They found two blankets
which constituted his bed, and no
trace of fire. He obtains his food
by foraging at night

TELEPHONE SERVICE
LOCAL SYSTEM HERE IN DE-
PL0RABLE CONDITION.
Pacific States Telephone Telegraph
Company Promises to Improve
the System.

The local telephone system in Athe-
ma is in deplorable condition and
unless the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph company, owners of
the local exchange, make arrange
ments and that. soon there will not be
enough patrons left to flag the pro-
verbal bread wagon.
No blame for the inferior service
that has long been rendered the pat
rons of the company in Athena can be
attached to Bruce Wallace, manager
of the local office, for he has notified
the company numerous times regard
ing the state the system was in at this
place, and otherwise has done all that
he could on his part to give patrons
satisfaction. But he cannot act as
operator, line repairer and general
routabout, nor is his salary so alfred
great that he can afford to keep the
lines and phones in repair out of his
own pocket.
The service here is decidedly on the
bum, SO bum that for days at time
phones have been out of working
order, and it is no uncommon occur
rance for person paying for phone
service. to chase around after someone
whom he dsires to communicate with,
when if the system was in order and
he was getting what he was paying
for the telephone would have done the
work.
1t is understood this morning that a
lineman is in town, and that the
local system will be overhauled and
thoroughly repaired. If better serv-
ice is not given the Press man knows
of two telephones the company can
salt away--and there are others.

800 Nay Enter Every Minute.

Portland-The ornamental main
entrance to the Lewis and CLARK Ex-
position has been completed, and in
a short time the old temporary gates
will be torn away and the gatekeepers
will be doing business at the bright
new turnstiles.
There are twelve turnstiles for en-
trance and eight for exit. The Ca
pacity of each entering turnstile is
about forty persons per second, or
even more in a rush. 1t is safe to
figure that 500 persons may pass
through these gates in a minute.
Each turnstile records the number of
people passing through, so that at the
end of day the total attendance may
be figured up quite readily.
There are three other entrances, one
at Twenty eight street, near the Mu-
scum of Arts, one at the American Inn
and the other at the northwest corner
Of the grounds, which will admit Wis
itors coming by boat on the Villa
mette river to the Government PENN
sula.
The admission price has been fixed
at fifty cents. Those who expect to
be in Portland during the entire ex-
position season may purchase sea-
son coupon ticket for $50, good for
1877 admissions, or one good for fifty
admissions for $3.50.
The main entrance, which is at
Twenty-sixth and Upshur streets, is
reached by all street car lines and is
only fifteen minutes ride from the
heart of the city. Many extra cars
will be put on for the season. The
exposition will be ready in every de-
partment to open June /.
