THE MORNING OREGONIA3S WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1902. FAY IS SET FREE Portland Man Out of Hands of Wisconsin Sheriff. LEAVES MANDAN,N.D.,FQR HOME Attorney Dufur, Prosecuting Wlt bcii, Beats a Hasty Retreat on Hearing of Prolmble Proceed- , tnss Against Him in Oregon. MAKDAN, X. D., Sept. 2. (Special.) Judge Winchester today set Charles I Pay, of Portland, at liberty, and Mr. Fay left On his return home tonight. The return filed today with the court by the Wisconsin authorities, who had Fay In custody, was demurred to by Judge Mar tin L. Pipes, of Portland, on ehalf of Fay. The demurrer was sustained. The attorney for the Wisconsin Authorities stated that he did not deslro to amend, and stood upon the ground that the North Dakota court had no jurisdiction. The court ruled otherwise, and Issued an or der releasing Mr. Fay from the custody of the Sheriff of this county, holding thai, the revocation by Governor Geer, of Oregon, of the original warrant of arrest left the Wisconsin Sheriff without further authority to hold, Fay. The order made by Judge Winchester is not appealable. Attorney Duf ur, of Wjiupaca, Wis., who appeared in the case Saturday, was not here today. It Is reported that he left this county in a hurry, because he was Informed that proceedings were being in stituted against him for attempting to extort money from Mr. Fay on a recent visit to Portland. Requisition papers were being prepared for him in Oregon for service In North Dakota. He learned of this on Saturday, and beat a hasty re treat. The argument for his side of the case was made today by Assistant Attorney-General Philbrlck, of Bismarck. NEWS OP MR. FAY'S tlELKASE. Friends and Associate Reoclvcd Re unit With Satisfaction. The news of Charles L. Fay's release was conveyed In a telegram received yes terday by Blair T. Scott, manager of the Washington Life Insurance Company, of this- city, of which company Mr. Fay is 'cashier. The dispatch was read with in terest by Mr. Fay's friends and associates, and there was general satisfaction at the outcome of the case. Mr. Fay was in custody over nine days. He was arrested in Portland Saturday evening, August 23. upon a warrant issued by Governor Geer at the request of the Governor of Wisconsin. It had been rep resented to the Governor of Wisconsin that Fay committed the crime of obtain ing money under false pretenses in the State of Wisconsin, and that he was a fugitive from that state. The affidavits and requisition papers were all regular in form, and upon them the Sheriff got his authority tb take Mr. Fay to Wisconsin. After he had arrested hisman he hurried out of the state on the "first boat down the Columbia and thought he was safe on bis Journey to Wisconsin, when he and his prisoner were taken from the tftiin at Mandan on habeas corpus proceedings. At the instance of attorneys employed by telegraph by Blair. T. Scott, the Circuit Court at Mandan called upon Sheriff Hess to show by what authority he held Fay a prisoner. Hess answered that he held him upon a warrant of arrest duly Issued by the Governor of Oregon upon the requisi tion of, the Governor of Wisconsin, and that ne was taking his prisoner back to the latter state. Mr. Fay'o attorneys re plied that the warrant of arrest had been revoked; that Fay was not a fugitive from Justice, and that the requisition had been obtained from the Governor of Wisconsin by false representations. Upon the issue thus raised the case went to trial and Fay won the case. s Because of the high standing Mr. Fay had In this community in business and church circles, and the manner in which he was taken away, the case has attract ed wide attention, in this state. Because the legal questions which have arisen are as important as they are novel, the case and its final termination will receive notice in legal circles throughoutthe country. The right of a man who has been arrested in one state upon the requisition of a Gov ernor of another state to regain his liberty while being conveyed through a third state, the warrant of arrest, having been revoked, has been established -by judicial precedent. The failure of the attempt to take Fay to Wisconsin will probably deter others from trying to carry ouf .a similar plan, and will cause. the Governors of the different state's ,to scrutinize applications for requisition papers -with greater care. The end of the incident has not yet been reached. MrFay's friends are seeking to bring Lumberman Dufur, of Waupaca, Wis., back to Oregon to answer to a charge of blackmail alleged to have been committed in this state a year ago. Du fur la now in North Dakota. Should he get "back to Wisconsin before hla arrest is effected, it is not probable that he will receive much consideration at the hands of tho Wisconsin Governor, if the latter should conclude that he had been deceived by Dufur. THRESHING MACHINE EXPLODES. Heavy Lobs Averted by the Presence of Mind of the Engineer. COLFAX, Wash.. Sept 2. (Special.) An other threshing machine has exploded in the grain fields of Whitman County, this time while barley was being theshed, and the cause cannot be laid to smut, which was generally accepted as the cause of all the many explosions which have oc curred in threshing machines last year and this.

The Democrat man, with a couple of friends, last evening visited the pleasant home of Mr. Mart Miller, at Knox's Butte, where they had a visit with Mr. Miller and his family, including his son. Ernest, whose case is an Intensely interesting one. Seven years ago his Joints .began to harden. Three years ago he left the house for the last time, and a year ago he was placed In bed, a twisted, solid mass, grad ually ossifying and baffling all the efforts of local physicians to assist him. For a year he has lain in exactly the same posi tion, without stirring or being stirred, any movement causing such pain as to call for other means of taking care of him. which have been neHly and ingeniously devised. His arms, legs and body are misshapen, and even his neck is stiff, so that he can not move his head at all. But to offset this misfortune he has a face as beautiful as oneNjvcr saw, that of a young woman, with lovely glossy hair, eyes that are bright, a sweet expression to the counte nance, and an active mind, with the ca pacity to give expression to his thoughts In an interesting way. Most people with healthy, 'active bodies complain at the lit tle ills of life, but Ernest is happy and contented, looking on the bright side of what there is for him. He Is a vociferous reader of good books and newspapers, during the Tracy hunt taking a lively in terest in the chase, and whenever any one has the time to turn the leaves he has a book or paper on a rack before him. A looking-glass Is arranged so as to show the passing of people and teams on the road near by. Ho belongs to the Sun shine Society, a National organization, and has received letters from as far as Germany, which afford him great pleas ure. He enjoys novelties, pictures, etc., and always appreciates visitors. A worthy and faithful father and mother and six brothers and three sisters, part of whom are at .home, give him company, but neighbors are always welcome. He will be IS years old in a few days. A strange part of his physical condition is that his pulse is about 130 continually, and sometimes as high as 1C0. His circu lation, of course, Is poor. He undoubtedly Is gradually becoming ossified, but hi appetite is good and the Indications are that he will live a good many years a blessing, notwithstanding his misfortune, to all coming in contact with his beauti ful life. Those who are discontented may well visit him and learn a lesson. The match less face will leave an impression which "will be of a pleasant character. HOT FIRE IN A DRY KILN.

Portland. Or. TO ARREST MRS: GREEN PORTLAND SOCIETY WOMAN MUST ANSWER TO GOVERNMENT. Fails to Pat la an Appearance at San Francisco to Settle a. Charge of Smuggling. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 2. Mrs. H. D. Green, a society woman of Portland, Or., who arrived here on July 5 on the steam er Doric, from the Orient with a large quantity of dutiable goods, which she failed to declare, will be taken into custody by the United States authorities on a charge of smuggling. The goods were seized by the customs Inspectors and Mrs. Green notified that a settlement would have to be made with the collect or. Mrs. Green failed to put in an ap pearance for the settlement of the mat ter. (Mrs. Green's trouble with the customs ofneiaks dates back to July 5, and grew out of an attempt to avoid payment of duties on a valuable importation of silks, embroideries and other wares which she had collected In the Orient. When the passengers and baggage from the steamer Doric were landed at San Francisco on that date, the customs Inspectors found that Mrs. Green had not declared any property In her possession as dutiable, and as she was to all outward appear ances a woman of wealth, judging from the lavish display of diamond Tings on her fingers. Inspector Lorenzen deter mined to make a careful search of her baggage to determine if she had secreted anything dutiable. Mrs. Green nervously watched the inspection of her trunks, and nearly fainted when Inspector Lorenzen brought to light a large quantity of Chinese silk, embroideries, silk crepe and other articles ot value she had purchased during an extended Oriental tour. To avoid payment of duties she had secreted them in a manner which she believed would defy the most careful scrutiny. Yards and yards of rich Oriental sllk and embroideries of great worth were, found sewed within the linings ot dresses. They were promptly seized by the cus toms Inspector. Doputy Surveyor of the Port St John had an interview with Mrs. Green after the seizure of her silken effecte, and she professed to be greatly surprised that an Innocent attempt to evade the payment of customs duties should be regarded as a serious infraction of the law.)
