WORK OF THE TORNADO.
Ak-nn- O.. May 11. DarkcebS set in
so soon after the tornado tore through
the southern part of the city on Saturdayino- - Hmt not half an idea could be- b
jroiten of the fierceness or extent of theeterrihlfi Uorm. It moved in an almoststraight lin9 throught the well-settle-
there is scarce! V ar v j i -dint f,f the mile and a half but isstrewn to-d- ay with splintered housetimbers, broken furniture, unrooted treesand leveled barns and outhouses.
In a trip over the storm's, path to daynineteen riwellimrs were counted, eitherripped into kindling wood or so badlywrecked that they cannot be occupied.Twenty families, numbering aboutseventvfive oeroons, are out of house andhi:me and' are sheltered bv friends. Ofeighteen persons injured, all will probably recover. Seventy-fiv- e bnildingj, in-
cluding residences and barns, weredaroagid by the wind, and not oneescaped that was in the direct line of thetorando. Uprooted trees were counteabv scores. Outhouses, in some cases,were tranSDlanted from fifty to 100 feetand set down in neighboring yards.
Thousands of Deoole visited the sceneof destruction to day. In several churches relief papers were started and severalthousand dollars will be raised for theimmediate wants of homeless people.
William Poole and daughter, who hadiust driven into their barn, were caughtuu with the buildins and rolled witn itto the bottom of the hill on which it stoodThat uo lives were lost is most wonderfu!. Id many instances families escapedby taking refuge in cellars.
A BEVEUE OFFICER'S PERIL.
Middlebourxk, W. Va , May 11.Fears are entertained that Captain Hawkins, chief cf the revenue officers, and his
posse of twenty men, who left Hiddle- -bourne cn "Wednesday last to destroyillict stills in the Cumberland mountains!,have met with foul play at the hands ofthe moonshiners. Thursday afternoonHawkins telegraphed for a supply trainto convey seventy-fiv- prisoners and witnesses to Covington. Since that timenothing lias been heard or seen ot him orbis posse. A search party will be organized.

the result of a family quarrel. JosephL'imh, a young mechanic, accompaniedhis wife to the Lome of her step father,Louis Fleck, to make a social call. Therehud been bad blocd between the two menovir .Lambs marriage, and, as soon asthey met, the quarrel was renewed. Theyengaged in a very heated altercationwhich Fleck finally ended by drawing alarge pocket-knife- , which he had openedin his pocket, and plunging it into Insson in law's left breast, just above theheart. Lamb fell to the floor, bleedingprofusely, and Fleck ran from the bouse,lading in an nuthouse in the back: yard,where he. was found by officers aboutmidnight. Lamb's wound, while notfatal, is very serious. It is about twoinches deep, and it is thought by the surgeon that it is bleeding lu tern ally. Lambwas removed to his home, where he isresting easily at midnight.' F.eck hasbeen locked up on a charge ot assaultwith intent t kill.
A CUAY BOBBER.
Seattle, May 11. A crazy man whohas been masquerading about town underthe name of Sir John Leslie, entered tberoom of a sick man m the American houseabout 11 o'clock to night, and demandedmoney or blood.

CHARQED WITH ROBBERY.
Philadelphia, May 11. EdmundSturt'is Crawlord, charged with having onMay 4, 1888, while a messenger of tbeAmerican Exchange National bank, ofNew York, stolen $41,000, which wasgiven him to be conveyed to the AdamsExpress Company's office, in that city,was arrested to-ni- on the steamshipSigne, from 'Kustsra island, Honduras.The package was addressed to the treas-ury oepanment-a- t Washington, and when
reached there, it was fnund to containonly slips of paper. The express com-pany paid tbe loss after a few weeks offruitless detective work. Crawford re-
signed his position as bank messenger G.and went to' Central America. He wasarrested last March in Spanish Honduras,and confessed to havingetolen the money,$32,000 of which was found on him.Governor - HilL signed the papers .forCrawford's extradition, and on these hewas brought back. Hs was taken toNew Yoik on a late train to-ni-
Philadelphia, May 11. Crawford,the New York American Exchange Na-tional bank defaulter, did not arrive lastnight from llondura on the steamtrBtgne, as reported. Detective Hotcbkiss,who came from New "York to arrest him,returned to that city without his prisoner.
COS VICT BD OF ABORTION.
North Yakima, May 11. Theabortion case, which baa occupied to
the superior court for tbe past four days,bas come to an end. Lagointe, who is of
an Ellensburgb real estate agent, wascharged with seducing and committingan abortion on Minnie Foss, a 10 year-ol-
girl of that place. The case is thelongest ever heard in a Yakima courtand has excited lively interest in Yakimaand Kittitas counties. The jury, after tobeing out an hour, brought in a verdictof guilty. Lipointe, who is wealthy, willcarry the case to tbe supreme court, it is of
claimed.PERISHED IN THE FLAMES.
New York, May 1 1. A sp'ecia! to theHerald from Norwich, N. Y., says thatnotwithstanding the mysterious reticenceof the coroner and tbe keepers andsuperintendent of tbe burned Chenangocounty poorbouse a' Preston, persons in
portion to know cay that at leantthirty patients perished in tbe flames. Itis said that not oue inmate out of twentyin the bearidden ward escaped. Super-intendent Babcock has stated to the boardof supervisors, who are investigating thematter, that, as all the record j were des-troyed, it is impossible ta get at the exactnumber of missing before next Tuesday.There seems to have been gross earless-nes- s
about the security and mnnogpmentof the unfortunate people, and it looks asit investigation would justify the predic-tion now made as to the number of vietima. and that perhaps a worse state ofaffairs will be revealed than is nowdreamed of.

road line through tbe Sierras. Snow fell

feet of fresh enow on top of the old hardsnow which has laid on the mountainsall winter. A push plow which is housedat Summit was sent down through theCascade cut several times this forenoonin order to keep cuts tlear. Althoughseveral freight trains were delayed some- -

CROOK COUNTY.
Items 'all-- d From the Colninna ofthe Orhooo Keview.
The snow on the mountains betweenOchoco and Bridge creek" has about all goneoff, an 1 the road across the mountains issaid to be in fair condition for travel.
Jack Frost or some other kind of a frostnipped all tender vegetables in PrinevilleThursday night, which caused gardeners to'cuss" pretty loud. It was so severe that
it'killed cabbage plants.
Thn stock inspector has inspected thsheep in the northeastern part of the countyand finds that the loss of sheep in that partof the county out of a little Dver 100,000head was 31,000.
A crew of sheep drivers arrived here thisweek from Nebraska. They are in the employ of Reynolds Bros., who-wi- ll start eastwith the mutton they bought in this countyas soon as. shearing is over.
Col. E. W. Nevius, well, known asschool teacher in the early days of Crookcounty, is at present chief clerk in the landoffice at The Dalles. Col. Nevius is wellqualified for the position and will make anexcellent clerk. .

The trial of Wm. Page in the next termof circuit court of Harney county, for thekilling of Bill Brown, creates considerableinterest here, as both parties were wellknown iu this county, both having livedhere a number of years. Mr. Page's friendshere hope that he may get out of . the difficulty, as he is looked upon as an honest,straight-forwar- d man.
Wool growers who have commencedshearing complain of extremely light wool.Sheep that last jear sheared eight pounds,this spring only gave fleeces weighing fivpounds. The decrease in the weight is at-
tributed to the seyere winter. With theheavy losses during the past winter and thelight shearing this sprinp, sheep raisers willbe left in a bad condition.

Natural Politeness.Tbe beautiiul politeness ani courtesythe Swceds themselves ie a thing thatvery striking to visitors, says a writerTemple Bar. They have a large as-
sortment of bows, bobs, courtesies andaccording to age and sex, but at
this lifting of the hat to mere ; acquaint-ances
asleaches, I fancy, much lower down
the social scale tnan elsewhere inEurope. It looks odd to see the butcherboy in a blouse elaborately taking on nibhat to the baker's assistant. I suspect.
examination, Swedish bats would befound to obtain a little extra stiffening inorder to euable them tostsnd the wearand tear of these greetings. A.
On one occasion, when going by steamboat to Upsala, I noticed a very quaintexample of this natural trait. The steamboat, as it Dears Upsa'a, passes throughmany shallow reaches of the Malar lake,where the depth of water is insufficient toallow of the passengers being landed inthe ordinary manner, directly on to landing stages, and they bave to be taken onshore in small boats.. The ferryman, onshipping his complement ot passengers,would first take a dozen strokes or so inorder to clear the screw of the steamer,and then would carefully lay aside hisoars, rise from his seat, and take off hishat with a (o!emn bow to the people sitting in the stem whom he had jubt takenoff tbe deck of tbe steamer. Ht wouldthen row on again and put them ashore.This did not occur as an isolated instance,but regularly every time the passengershad to be landed by shore boats. I amafraid our EngUh nilway guards and reporter?, w bom I have hitherto io.aginc-- d
be the btst mannered people on theplanet, would net bear comparison withthese nature's gentlemen. L rd Chesterfield himself would scarcely be in tberunning.

Fossil Journal: The stockmens' springride for horses commenced last Monday inthis part of tbe county. Tbe first campwas at the cattle corral near the forks ofDeep creek. Messrs.

Fossil Journal: Stock has fattened thisspring faster than usual.- - some attributehis to the fact that tbe bulial o grass is tak-ing the place of the bunch grass in placeswhere the bunch grass has been overstockedor , fed too close by sheep, and this buQalograss matures earlier than the bunch grass,and has run up to seed some time ago. It
said to be a better early grass than thebunch grass, but it dries out sooner, anddoes not compare favorably with the bunchgrass for a fall and winter grass.

Speaking of G. W. Hunt, the O. & W.manager, a correspondent to the Spo
kane Spokesman says: "It seems to me thatit is not difficult to become a railroad mag-nate. Hunt started into that line of busi-
ness a few years ago with little money andfine and extensive grading outut. By a
method of marketing bonds and asking forand receiving subsidies he has built about200 miles of railroad through a veiy pro-
ductive section and is easily worth about$2,000,000. Of course it needs brainsand that peculiar quality called nerve torisk all on the cast of a die. But when theall in question amounts to bo little as Hunt'sdid at the beginning, it is surprising to seehis success."

EditorIf the present political canvass is going toa personal fight the sooner the Republi-
cans know it the better. Two years agoWasco Sun singled out Mr, Gourlay,
candidate for assessor, as its target for ascries of petty attacks, leaving thn rest of
ticket alone. From this week's issue,which has just come to band, it would ap-
pear the same tactics are about to be fol-
lowed by the same paper against the aamagentleman. Editors may come and editorsmay go, but Democracy changes never.After proving that Mr. 'Gourlay has notfarmed any for a period of many months (aterrible crime, by the way, and oae whichwholly unfits bim for being a candidate forcounty clerk) the editor goes on to say that
farmers will not support Mr. Gourlay,because he characterized their "third party"
a combinanon oi political soreneaas,grangers and prohibitionists. This remarkmust bave grown out of an incident thathappened at a meeting held in this town lastwinter. Mr. Gourlay was present, so was
writer, and about 30 others. Some oneasked what the principles of the thirdparty were? Ne one seemed to know. Mr.Gourlay was singled out and requested toinform the meeting, if he knew, what thoseprinciples were. This, remember, was be-
fore this party had made any organizationeast of tha mountains. Expressly disown-ing all personal knowledge of the party, Mr.Gourlay said that the common rumor had itthat the party in the valley counties wascomposed of "soreheads, freetraders andprohibitionists." Tbe editor of the Sun has"granger" instead of "freetrader" the word"granger" was never used. The Sun wouldteach iu readers that Mr. Gourlay gave outthis as his own opinion. He did nothing ofthe kind, and no man who was present atthe meeting, and has any regard for thetruth, will say so. But enough, the matter
of little importance perhaps, it may,however, be a straw to show which way thewind is blowing. If the Sun is going tomake a personal fight, and single out theRepublican candidate for clerk as tbe mark
its arrows, it can rest assured that itwill get all it wants of it before electionday.
I recommend for the Sun'i considerationthe gentlemanly conduct of the er
during tbe last campaignand tne present, in which not a wordderogatory to the charaoter of any o! theDemocratic county candidates appeared.Will tbe Sun go and do likewise? We shallsee. a P. a
