Upon reach ing this city tho friend demanded that tho money be paid. An ar gument followed in which Hod man declared ho oould not pay un til he reached home. Meanwhile Mayor Dorgor, O. V. Roberts and A. E. Jepp, of Eu gene, hunted up Mayor Dnnick Assistant District Attorney SUpp and Deputy Sheriff Miles and planned to have Rodman arrested. Miles took him to Jail and a few minutes later ho was taken to the mayor's olllco where bo was giv en a hearing. Ho pleaded guilty to having borrowed the money, but insisted that he could not pay unin no reacnea nomo. "Then I'll fine you $5," said the mayor. "11 is a very grave offenso but inasmuch as you are an Elk and so am I, I will make the lino as light as possible" "I knew I would be arrested when I came Into this town," said Rodman. However, I can t pay tho flno. Somo of my friends will." J. S. Airhart, a member of the party, paid the line and the Jolly Llks climbed into their big auto mobile and started for Eugene. The victim of the prank, while not aware of the Joke, took his 'arrest good naturedly, and de clared that it was nothing more than he expected. 8amson Marries Couple Justice of the Peace Samson offi ciated Saturday at the wedding of Kate Barber and Aaron J.

There was a scramble lor a bite to eat and within 40 minutes the 1500 friends of tho movement were again In the auditorium to hear the speaker of the afternoon, Miss Helen Varick Boswell, the young woman chosen by President Taft for Wom en's Club organization work In Pana ma.

Senator Robert M. La Follette today went on record aa opposed to the third party movement fathered by Colonel Roose velt In an editorial In La Follette's Weekly, he not only declares against the Roosevelt move, but scathingly at tacked the Colonel's motives In or ganizing the new party. La Follette's editorial Is headed "The Case of Mr. Roosevelt" and he sums np his con clusions as follows: 'Mr. Roosevelt appeals to progres sives to Join his party. Roosevelt's whole record demonstrates that he has no constructive power; that he Is progressive only In words; that he is ever ready to compromise In order to win, regardless of platform prom ises or progressive principles. "Bryan at Baltimore, foregoing all chances of his own nomination, mar shalling all his forces, braving Tam many and the trusts to rescue his par ty from their domination, carrying the convention tor the adoption of a pro gressive platform, the most progres sive yet offered, was a towering figure of moral power, and patriotic devo tion to civic righteousness. "Roosevelt at Chicago, backed by money derived from the stock water ing operations of the steel trust and the harvester trust organizing what are now confessed to have been fake' contests as to nearly 200 delegates In order to control the convention and secure his own nomination, refusing to aid In the making of a progressive platform, bound to have the nomina tion or destroy the Republican party, was a most striking example of misdi rected power and unworthy amblton. "He had as great aa opportunity as Bryan to serve the progressive cause. but he was serving the man, not the cause." Gladstone Merchant Sued Aldon A Lewts Friday filed suit for JS2.68 against William Ferryman, of Gladstone. The plaintiffs allege that the money Is due for merchandise. POLICE HAVE NAMES IN N. Y.

W hen brought to this city Tuesday by George Ogle, Sheriff Mass at once discovered that the woman was not only not Insane, but was one of the shrewdest panhan dlers operating In these parts. "What's your name!" asked the sheriff. "Hiking Nell," was the reply. "I mean your real name." "I have no real name only Hiking Nell' and you bet I know my bis." "Where are you going Nell?" asked the sheriff. "Oh. any old place. I never have no destination. I lust drop off the cars any place they put me off." The woman said she was thirty-two years of age and had been a tramp ever since she was fifteen. She said ahe had beaten her way across the continent six times. "I'm at home In Gotham," said "Hiking Nell." Broadway? Why that Is my habitat when I am In the big town. What youse keeping me here for anyway? Why If 'Slim Pete' and 'Handy Mike down on the Bowery knew about this houtrage there would be something doing somewhere In the neighborhood of the Intersection of Rivlngton. And believe, muh, Tittle' Tim Sullivan would help some too." Sheriff Mass had a suspicion that his prisoner might be a man for sever al minutes, but when she unrolled her coiffure and displayed locks that al most reached her waist, he was con vinced that his suspicion was not well founded. County Judge Beetle, after hearing the story decided It would be a good plan for Oregon City to be come rid of "Hiking Nell" as soon as possible, so the county till waa open ed and enough money was given her to take her to Portland. Sheriff Mass watched her an til she boarded a - "This Is easy," said the trans-continental hoboess, as she disappeared In the car. "I guess It beats hiking." was the last sentence she uttered that was heard by Sheriff Moss. PARTLOwA WARDED SLAYS HE CHILD AND SHOOTS SELF DEPUTY SHERIFF PREVENTS MOTHER FROM COMMIT INQ CRIME HERE MILES TOOK PISTOL FROM HER Mrs. Nettle Walsh, Crazed From Jeal ousy, Tries To Exterminate Family Another Woman Blamed Mrs. Nettle Walsh, who shot and killed ber four-year-old son, fatally wounded herself, and tried to kill her husband, Robert H .Walsh In Portland Tuesday morning, was on murder bent while on a trip to Oregon City last Saturday two weeks ago. But for Dep uty Sheriff Mile she probably would have kiled ber husband and the wo man she alleges despoiled her home. Mrs. Walsh, who lives at 843 East Stark street Portland, pursued bar husband In an automobile from Port land to Oregon City and back to Oak Grove and intercepted him In the com pany of a girl said to be a stenograph er in a taxlcab office. Deputy Sheriff Miles, who went from this city with the woman and two detectives, took a pistol from ner. waisn ana tne girl were found In a cabin and Mrs.. Walsh begged that she be given the pistol so she could shoot the girl and her husband. Walsh was arrested but released when he and his wife made a temporary truee. "If I had not taken the pistol away from the woman murder would have been committed," said Deputy Sheriff Miles. . Robert Walsh was In the dining room of the house which la a small bungalow early Tuesday. Just after finishing breakfast he waa talking to his wife about a trip they had plan ned to take to Seattle to attend the Potlach. The couple were to leave in the afternoon. Mrs. Walsh was stand ing near the kitchen door when sud denly she cried: "Well, this Is the way we are going to finish It" Hardly had ahe spoken before she pulled out Walsh's large 33 Colta re volver from behind her back and open ed fir. Walsh grappled with her and believed he had wrested the gun from her hand before she Bred again, the bullett passing within a few inches of his head. Walsh made for the kit chen door and ran. Fearing the worst he ran across the street and telephoned to the police station, saying that his wife was mur dering the baby. Patrolmen Sherill and Calson, and Detective Tichnor rushed to the scene In the police aut omobile. After firing at her husband Mrs. Walsh went Into the front bedroom where the baby had hidden as soon as the first shots had been fired. Pointing her gun at her only baby, she fired the bullet striking the little fellow In the back. The child ran screaming through the parlor and din ing room Into the back bedroom. Hardly had he reached the door be fore the woman shot again, the bullet crashing through the back of hla head kUling him Instantly. Reloading the revolver she fired two shots at herself, one of the bullets ploughing through her cheek and the other lodging In the right side of the head. Hardly had she fallen to the floor when the police ran up the steps and broke into the house. The little boy's shirt was afire. Detective Tichnor. who reached the room In the rear first put out the blaze with his hands. Thinking that the little fellow was on ly wounded he lifted him np. The lad however, was dead. Mrs. Walsh was still breathing but with much difficulty. The Red Cross ambulance was called and made the run In record time, and the woman was rushed to the St Vincent's hos pital, where she was operated upon by Doctors Holt and Van Dusen, act ing city physician. One peculiar incident of the tragedy was recorded just after the woman had been carried down the steps to the waiting ambulance. Mrs. Martha Christensen, an elderly woman who lives at 1253 Greely station, walked up the steps and started Into the bouse When she was stopped by the police she persisted in trying to get past Mrs. Christensen, it Is said, is an old friend of the Walsh family, at one time Mrs. Nettie Walsh having lived at her home. . You can't come In here," ahe was told. "Why not? Oh, I Just know some thing dreadful has happened," cried Mrs. Christensen. When she was told that a murder had been committed In the house the woman almost collapsed. "Ob, I knew something like this would happen," she sobbed. "Last night I dreamed that little Vincent was sick and was going to die. So I left the house without hardly touch ing breakfast and came here. Oh, it's so strange that I dreamed about It and now the little boy la dead and Nettie Is dying." She was allowed to go Into the bed room, where shg attempted to comfort the husband.
