John Doo Lorenzo, an Italian, HvinR near Milwaukle, was arrested last month on a charge of nssault with a dniiRorotis weapon on Deputy Game Warden Frank Irwin. Irwin attempt ed to arrest Uirenzo on a chnrfio of shooting song birds when he began shooting nt Irwin with his shot gun, claim tho officers. Irwin, by approach ing Lorenzo from the sldo was able to secure his gun when tho latter pulled a revolver and fired It 'until tho deputy warden disappeared, ac cording to the evidence secured by the state against Lorenzo. H. J. Hafer is held on a charco against his daughter, Mrs. Charles Kohinsnn. Joo Hruck was nrrestod April 22 on a ennrgo or assault with Intent to kill action was $10,000, hnlfof that amount being for initiative claims. According to tho plaintiff, she was soiling pnpers with her grand-daughter in Wllsonvlllo and one of tho d aces she visited each evening was tho Lawr ence hotel, owned and operated by William I-awronce. On tho evening of December 11, 1912, she wa making her accustomed trip to the hotel when Lnwroncfl grabbed her when she en tered the door nnd beat her severely, slated tho plaintiff. Tho defendant claimed that December 11, 1912, was a cold and stormy dny and that when tho grand daughter of the plaintiff opened tho front, door of tho hotel Lawrence called to her to close It. In stead of doing that she left the door open and started to run away, stated the defendant, and Lawrence arose to rlose tho door and caught Mrs. Hart Iott's foot. He affirms that he did not strike her or beat her, as Is chorged in the complaint. The Jury was out about half an hour, nrownell and 8tone represented the defendant, and George II.

OF MEDICAL BODY Tho Clackamas County Medical as sociation met Thursday evening ant! elected the following officers for the coming year: Dr. J. W. Norrls, pres ident; Dr. W. E. Hempstead, vlco pres ident; and Dr. C. H. Melssner, secretary-treasurer. The meeting was held In the Com mercial club rooms and no business of Importance was taken un other than the election. county from Cnnhy to Wllholt and Mu- llno, is well under way. The weir dam on the Molallu, river uboiit two miles ttlmve Molallu nnd been built, tho ditch und fume, totaling In distance about lSuO feet, have bon completed, the water wheels have arrived In Cunby, nnd within tho next 10 days Mr. lx-c will apply to the councils of Cunby and of Molalln for franchises. The plan is to supply all the fariulnr, community In the Molalla, Canhv, Wll holt and Miillno districts with power at rates varying from one dollnr to a dol lar and a half, as well as the towns. Through his attorneys. Mr. Leo has applied to the county court for a fran chise over the county roads nnd tins offered, In return for the right from the county, to light nil bridges, crossed by tho lines free of chnrgo and lo supply all county crushers within a short distance with electricity free. Meters will be used only where the electricity is used for power purposes. The farmers will pay a flat rate for electricity and the minimum will prob ably bo one dollar. Mr. I.ee will not incorporate the property but retain it either by himself or with a partner so as to avoid the corporation require ments, nnd to make tho executive end of his business much simpler. In this way ho believes that he will be able to deliver power to the fanner at a low er rate than that in most towns and cities. Aliimlnmri wire reinforced with a gal vanlzed Iron strand will be used. As this com'.iinntion makes a strong as well ns a light wire with a great car rying capacity, Mr. Lee believes that ho will be able to construct the line nt much less expense than If he used copper wire. Fir poles, 15 to the mile. will he used, but nt the end of five years, yew butts will he placed in the ilr.e. The yew butts are now tn Canby being seasoned. Tho power plant will be capable of developing nn average of 200 horse power. The Molalla river at the point of the Intake has n flow of 200 second feet on an avera?;e but is much larger in tho winter and somewhat lower in tho summer. Tho flume and ditch which have been completed, have car rying capacity of -100 second feet and measures 12 by 4 teet. At tho power house the water will have a drop of 16 feet. The water wheels are now at Canby and tho generators hove been ordered and are expected to orrive In three or four weeks. The principal wheel Is a twin horizontal, stool cases, water tight wheel and tho other Is auxilinry, to be used during high water periods. Mr. Lee expects that the plant will be In operation in August nnd that by early in the fall he will bo able to sup ply Molalla with power and eectrlcity.

Miles has named all three as defendants in a suit which he filed in the cirouit court here Mon day. Miles charges that on April 20. 1912, C. P. llryant signed a note for $300 but claims that not even the first payment has been made. On April 14, 1914, Miles filed a suit In the superior court of California at Fresno and won his case hut found that the defendant had no property In that state. Later, he claims, he learned that llryant owned land In Clackamns county and that Hryant. the complaint states, signed the land over to others In order to de feat the alms of justice, says the plaintiff. MARION OFFICE ROBBED OF $10 Sheriff Mass and Deputy Miles Return After Unsuccessful Trip to Canby U. S. Author! ties Are Busy Sheriff Mass and Deputy Sheriff Miles returned Friday shortly before noon in an unsuccessful attempt to find a clue to the robbers of the Aurora and Cunby postoffices. Word was re ceived early Friday morning In the sheriff's office Hint the postofflce at Canby had been robbed of about $10 In cash and stamps and when the offi cials reached that town they learned that robbers had entered the postof- fice of the Marlon county town. It is the opinion' of those who have studied the case Hint the robbers broke Into the Aurora postoffiee and then came north to Canby. The first rob bery was done about 2 o'clock and the second about 3 o'clock Friday morn ing as nearly as could be estimated by tne oiuciais. CANNY, Ore., May 29. The Canby postofflce was robbed last night, the robbers leaving no clew except the tools with which they forced the doors. The office has no safe, as the Postmas ter keeps his supplies in the bank vault, and as nenr as can be ascer tained the loot taken consists of $10 In money and part of a book of money orders containing 14 blank orders. The drawers contained a small quantity of stamps of various deonominations, but they were not disturbed. Several months ago a similar at tempt was made on the Canby postof flce, but at that time it was unsuccessful. AURORA, Ore.. May 29. The Aur ora postofflce was burglarized here last night at 2 o'clock. The safe was carried down the railroad track, and nitro-glycerine was used to blow It open. Stamps amounting to more than $1000, and money order blanks were taken, as well as private papers be longing to the postmaster. The Job appears to be the work of expert yegg men. The robbery was not discovered until this morning, and there Is no trace of the burglars. ONE LICENSE A marriage license was Issued Mon day to Deborah Mikesell and J. D. Jackson of St. Johns. The council meeting Wednesday night was full of bits of surpressed feeling which despite the best efforts of the mayor, broke out at times. The Main street problem, the election of the new councilman, and recent re marks In the Oregon City Courier were the principal causes of the situation. Mnyor Jones himself probably start ed the most serious disturbance of the evening when he explained the con ditions surrounding tho improvement of Fifth street. "During the time when Mr. Dlmlck was mavor the coun cil decided to declare the life of Fifth street, b'lt to repair the street before doing so, said the mayor, "Street Commissioner Hnbcoek was ordered to repair the street but shortly after wards one of the rock crushers broke down and the city was unable to se cure gravel until recently." Mr. Tem- pleton then arose to his feet and ap proved the words of the mayor and remarked concerning a criticism of the council make In a recent Issue of the Courier. "The Courier is so steeped In misrepresentation that It is impos sible for that paper to get anything straight," said Mr. Templcton. "When that paper printed its first piece con cerning the council and Fifth street. I went to M. J. Drown, its editor, and told him the truth. He promised me that he would correct his previous statement, but It was never done." T. L. Charman, representing that faction of the property owners along Main street, was also among those who were present, and declared in a short but spicy speech that he would spend four times his assessment on the ele vator Improvement to fight that pro ject.
