12 THE MORNING O REG ONI AN, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1903. GOES BACK TO MONTANA! SHERIFF SAVAGE OF CUSTER COUN TY GETS PRISONER IX PORTLAND. Bert Hhsco, "Who Was Arrested, fey Local Oflceri, In Wanted for Pm iag Forged Check In 3Ules Clty. Sberlff TV. B. Savage. of Custer County, Montana, arrived in Portland yesterday having come after Bert Rusco, a young man ,who la -wanted at Miles City to answer to a charge of forgery. Rusco was arrested by Sheriff Storey and Deputy Sheriff Fred Matthews on a tele graphic warrant two days ago. and was located alter considerable detective work had been done. The clue to his where abouts was obtained from a postal card sent to him which the officers "succeeded In obtaining possession of. The arrest was kept quiet for the reason that the young man has relatives here whom it was, feared might seek to have him re leased on a writ of habeas corpus before the Montana Sheriff should reach Portland with the necessary legal papers to hold the prisoner. Rusco is charged with passing a forged check for S5 on W. H. Bullard, a promi nent saloon-keeper at Miles City, three weeks ago. The check was drawn on the First National Bank at that place in fa vor of "William "Waters, and was signed John Bant. The latter is a well-known and -wealthy sheepman, and a check bear ing his name was not difficult to cash. The only thing necessary for Rusco to ao to get tho money on the check was to be identified, and this was an easy matter. He called in a Northern Pacific Railroad brakeman. with whom he had a slight ac quaintance, who assured the saloon-keeper that "Waters, as he supposed him to be, was all right, and the brakeman readily indorsed the paper when requested to do so. Rusco is 27 years of age, and lived in Montana several years, working part of the time as a sheepherder. He thus had an opportunity to know men who owned sheep ranches and that their checks were accepted by business men. He never, however, was in the employ of Mr. D ant After receiving the money, Rusco took the night train westward bound, and trav eled straight through to Portland. He came here, so he states, to see his mother, wbo is afflicted with cancer and is not expected to live long, and, according to information received by Sheriff Storey, Rusco also has two sisters hero and an uncle. Rusco was Interviewed in the county Jail by Sheriff Savage, and he admitted his guilt, but assigned no motive for his crime. It was supposed that he would offer as an excuse the fact that he de sired very much to come to Portland to visit his sick mother, and had no money, but he did not make any such statement. He only acknowledged his crime, and then asked the Montana officer If the matter could be fixed up. Sheriff Savage answered that he had no authority to make a settlement, even if Rusco was able to pay back the money. Sheriff Sav age states that in looking up Rusco's his tory he ascertained that he was form erly an inmate of tho Reform School in South Dakota. DIVORCED COUPLE REMARRY. Samuel Drlacoll and His "Wife Could Not Stay Separated. It has Just come to light that Samuel W. Driscoll and Myrtle Drisooll, who were divorced in Portland in February, were remarried on March 5 at "Vancouver, "Wash., and are living happily together as If nothing had ever happened to mar their domestic felicity. Mr. Driscoll Is the popular leader of Cordray's Theater orchestra, and his wife Is an attractive woman or pleasing per sonallty. Mrs. Driscoll sued for and ob. talned the divorce, and at the trial test! fled that her husband came home late nights, occasionally with a jag on, and made things -somewhat lively around the house. She alleged that Driscoll earned $40 or more a week, and was able to pro vide for her. One child, the only Issue of the marriage, was awarded to the cub tody of the mother. After the divorce was granted the parties seem to have arrived at a mutual understanding that their dif ferences had been largely magnified by them both, and that there was no reason why they should not get along together and be congenial in each other's society, Driscoll had always expressed his willing ness to provide for the child. Having agreed to no longer disagree, they re paired to Vancouver, and were once more united as husband and wife. Justice of the Peace Haines performed the ceremony. The idea of going to Van couver was doubtless not to attract at tention. Tho license could have Just as well been obtained in this county, be cause a divorced couple can be married to each other at any time, but the mar riage of a divorced person to a third party is prohibited for a period of six months after the decree has been entered. PREPARING FOR THE EVD. Beldlnip, the Condemned Murderer, Bays BlncU Salt of Clotlie. Murderer A. I Belding, who will be hanged Friday morning, was measured yesterday for a black emit which he will wear on the scaffod. Belding is tall, re quiring 34 inches length of trousers leg, and he asked for a frock coat, stating that he thought it more becoming to him than a sack coat. A barber was called in who shaved him and cut his hair, which Improved his appearance considerably. Belding hau grown thin during his con finement, but he bears up well, and it is thought that he will meet his fate without breaking down. Since Sheriff Storey announced that he will admit medical students to see Belding executed, he has been besieged with call ers asking for invitations on that score, and he bas come to the conclusion that the medical profession has become very popular, and that nearly half the young men in Portland are soon to become doc tors. The Sheriff, however, will stick to his word to admit the students after satis fying himself that they are really what they pretend to be, provided the space in the inclosure. which Is limited, will ac commodate them all. There are numerous other applicants who have to be refused because the invitations have all been given out. Conrt Notes. Frederick Wltta has commenced suit against Caroline Wltta in the State Cir cuit Court for a divorce because of de sertion, beginning in December, 1894. They were married in 1SS3. J. W. Atwater & Co., real estate agenta, yesterday filed suit in the State Circuit Court against J. H. Hennessy to recover $37 commission for selling a lot in Smith son's Addition for $750. The Alliance Trust Company has sued A. I Horn and Isabel Hendee et al to foreclose a mortgage for $1100 on lots 5 and 6. block X Base Line Addition, except the easterly 331-3 feet of lot 6. The suit of Rose E. Vlant against John E. Blazier, a saloon keeper, to recover a valuable diamond ring which her husband pledged in Blazier's place while he was having a good time, was settled and dis missed in the State Circuit Court yester day. The case was first tried in the Justice court. w.here Mrs. Vlant won. and Blazier appealed. Cleveland Is Really Out of It. New York Evening Post. Ex-President Cleveland took occasion yesterday to silence many rumors that have connected him with political move ments bearing upon the next Presidential election. In spite of the anti-third term tradition, which still stands pretty firm In the popular mind, and notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Cleveland if elected In 1904 would be 6S years of age at his third in auguration, many persons have insisted upon making him a candidate for an honor that no other American has . ever reached. Persons who are nearest to Mr. Cleveland know that he could not be drawn into such entanglements. Therefore. It was hardly necessary for him to say publicly that he Is completely withdrawn from personal politics, and that his interest in public affairs relates solely to questions of National policy. On the latter point he expressed some thoughts which are of value to his fellow countrymen. He stated his belief that the trust question could not be eliminated from the next Presidential campaign, and that the tariff question could not be divorced from the trust question. As to the silver question. he did not know that anybody was talking about it. In fact, nobody is talking about it except William J. Bryan, and he 19 talking only to hear himself talk. NOT FAVORABLE TO SHEEP Cattlemen of Grant Connty "Won't Be Chaxed Further. ST. VERNON. 6r March 22. To the Editor.) In your paper of February 27, M. M. Brlerly. of Monument, has a letter In which he refers to an article of mine, published in the Blue Mountain Eagle. "With all due regard for Mr. Brlerly, I think that his letter should be explained a little. ' To commence, by the heading of the let ter at Canyon City. It would appear that Mr. Brlerly wished it to be understood that that was his home. To the contrary, however. Monument. 60 or 75 miles to the northward of Canyon City, has always been his home, and to form a just esti mate of his letter we must remember that the people of Monument are seeking to be separated from Grant and annexed to Morrow County, being more closely related thereto, by geographical situation, business affiliation and sympathy. It is thus made plain why Mr. Brlerly headed his letter Canyon City, Or." He hoped thus to add to its weight. Just here let me Insert a clipping from the Post, of lone. Morrow County: M. M. Brlerly, of Monument, father of T. H. Brlerly, of this place, is erecting- a cottage in the east end of town and north of the railroad track, andlhey will make It their future home. It will readily be seen that our friend calculated to shake our dust from bis gar ments. In passing over his reference to the "nu merous sheep shootings that have oc curred in this country, we wish to say that we deplore mob law. If there is any other possible way, mob law should never be resorted to. "We will have to call Mr. Brlerly to time, however, in his state ment that there were no outside sheep shot Into. Ed Day, of Butter Creek, Mor row County, had several hundred head near Susanville, and I have understood that some man from down towards Fossil or Condon, lost some also. Then there are numerous cases where home sheep were shot Into or poisoned, notably those of J. C. Oliver, of John Day. and J. C. Moore, cf this place. There is no doubt that much of this violence could and should have been avoided. The sheep business has added millions of dollars to the wealth of our state. It is one of the leading industries of the state and we should look with disfavor on any measure that would destroy it. It is never theless truo that it must be regulated. The sheepmen from the outside counties have it in their power, if left unrestricted, to utterly destroy the livestock industry of our county. Some may think that this is an exaggeration, but come to our county and study the situation and see if it is not true. Allow me to use my own case as a typical instance. I am trying to run a few head of cattle on the north side of the river. Last Fall I was compelled to bring the cattle In early because every spear of grass was eaten off. I was compelled to begin feeding early and this Spring I must continue to feed until grass grows sufllciently for the cattle to make a living. It has to grow since there is no grass left over from last Fall. About April 1 I will turn out on pretty good grass. The last of April or first of May, untold thousands of sheep will pour across my little cow range from a hundred miles to the north. During all the early Summer the sheep will cross like bands of Kansas grasshoppers, leav lng desolation In their wake. My cattle will be scattered to tho four winds, two and three In a place. Tho bulls will be or no service. Towards the middle and last of the Summer the tide sets back across the range to their home range, where the sheepmen have reserved thousands of acres of bunch grass for Fall and Winter pasture. How they will luxuriate, while I search the hills for the fragments of my little bunch of cattle and try to nurse them and their crop of spindle-legged Winter calves through the Winter. I ask of Mr. Brlerly what I am to do. He no doubt will answer, as in the clos ing words cf his letter: "We believe that every American citizen has equal rights to use and occupy the public domain." In deed, this is all we contend for, but we don't think we are getting "equal rights. It seems to us that when sheep come from 100 or 50 miles or even 25 miles and Insist that they have the right to eat off the grass ot our very doors, that there must be something wrong with their Idea of equal rights. We have tried to use persuasion. We have never lost a. chance of pointing out to these wandering herds men the fact that they were virtually tak ing away our only hope for a living. It seems that all our well-directed efforts have been in vain. In our neighborhood we did not shoot the sheep. We were good people. The sheep herders and camp tenders loved us and stuck to U3 like brothers as long as one spear of grass remained, then they reluctantly took their leave. It is this condition of affairs that ha3 led many of our people to think that the sheepmen of the outside counties are a iack of conscienceless pilferers. I know that this is not the case. In Morrow Coun tv I know many members of the Wool growers Association, and all that I know are gentlement of high moral character. Too often, however, these men leave the management f their flocks to hired camptenders and herders who know little and care less about the rights of the peo ple where they go to seek Summer range, As stated In my letter to the Eagle, we have stock "enough in our own county to fully stock our range without the quar ter or half million sheep from the .outside, and if our friends from the north cannot run their sheep without chasing us out of business they certainly will have to go out of business or cut down their flocks to a size they can handle nearer home, for we have been chased as far as it is reasonable to stand. RAY GLASSCOCK. WILL BE NO SPEECHES. Reception to General Fanaton by Commercial Bodies of Portland. The reception to Brigadier General Fun ston at the Commercial Club Saturday night will be a brilliant occasion. Army officers in full uniform and civilians In full dress will do honor to the dlstln guished General. The choice and goodly of the citizens of Portland will be there also officers of the Third Oregon Regi ment of militia and of the Spanish War veterans. Officers of the Navy who re side in or about Portland have been in vited. About 9M invitations have been Issued. The reception will be under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and the Commercial Club. The Commercial Club will direct the ar rangements for the event. H. M. Cake, president of the club, today will appoint a reception committee of 20 members. The commercial organizations desire to bring the influential citizens of Portland Into cl6se touch with General Funston and to show him that they admire his ex plclts as fully as do the residents of any city in the land. They trust that he will honor Portland by giving it a favorable place In his estimation. Tho reception will be as memorable a social occasion as any in the annals of the city. There will be no speeches nor addresses. TO GOVERN ST. JOHNS CITY COUNCIL BEGINS TO EXERCISE - ITS POWERS. Steps Will Be Taken to Provide Water Supply, and Property Will I Be Assessed for Taxation. At an informal meeting of the new City Council of St. Johns held In Knight's Hall Mayor Charles A. Cook called the Coun cil to order. As it was the first gather ing of this bod and no business having accumulated, there was little to do. The first communication was received from Hartman, Thompson & Powers, asking what steps wpuld be taken to supply water to the additions. It was decided to appoint some working committees accord ing to the provisions of the charter, and the following were appointed: Committee on ordinances Messrs. Ham ilton. Monohan and Hurlburt. Streets Messrs. Hughes, Culp and Beebe. Ways and means Messrs. Culp, Hamil ton and Hurlburt. Water supply Messrs. Hughes, Culp and Beebe. A. L. Miner, the Recorder, says that the first official act will be to make a map of the new city and assess the property. "The City Council starts out with no money, and the map and assessment must be completed within 30 days after the election," said the Recorder. "I shall start work on this Job at once. It will make me hustle to get through In time. I think we are going to have a large place here. We have a fino waterfront and sev eral factories arc here already and others are coming. There will be work for these committees very soon. Streets are needed leading down to the water front." Mr. Muier said the charter limits the levy to 1 per cent of the appraised value of the property within the corporate lim its for general purposes, but this does not prevent the city from acquiring water and light plants. Councilman T. J. Monahan. In an Inter view yesterday, said he was confident that St. Johns would have 2000 people In two years or less. In answer to a ques tion as to whether It would not have been better for St. Johns to have become part of Portland than to have organized a city government, answered In the negative. "We are too far away from the business center of Portland." said Councilman Monahan, "to get any benefits. No, I don't think we will ask to bo taken into Portland very soon, either. The most im portant question coming up at present is that of the city water supply. We shall need a good supply here to meet the won derful growth and increase of population. J. C. Scott Is owner of the plant here. Heretofore be has had no protection for his mains. A water committee has been appointed which will take up the question at once, and will have a report at the next meeting." The next meeting of the City Council will be held Monday evening, March 30, when the first reports from committees will be received. MANY NEW STREETS. Tito Miles of Improvement Are Un der Way in North Albinn. Over two miles of Important street im provements are under way in North Al blna, connecting with streets In Central Alblna. - This is more than had been un dertaken In that district for many years, and the new streets are opening up a fine portion of the peninsula. The longest street under Improvement is Peninsula avenue, which extends from Pippon street to Columbia boulevard. This street cuts straight through from North Alblna to the city limits and intersects the Portland boulevard and other streets running north and soiith. It is being graded. Killingsworth avenue is being improved from Commercial to Patton streets; On Killingsworth avenue there Is quite a cut. and the City & Suburban Railway Com pany is lowering its track in consequence. Maryland avenue is the next Important improvement. It is being graded between Prescott street and Alblna avenue. Den ver avenue Is being Improved from Kil lingsworth avenue to Webster street. On all these streets the land is being cleared for building purposes. Stumps and trees are being burned up. Before the year expires all the brush from North Alblna to the city limits north will be removed. Wnnt Free Mall Delivery. Residents on the peninsula. Including University Park and Portsmouth, are very anxious to secure free mail delivery. They made application some time ago, but. like the petition from the people of Woodlawn, they never heard anything about It. Now that that portion is set tling up rapidly, the question is again being agitated, with bettor prospects of success. Land is being cleared and new streets opened, all of which makes It more probable that a petition for free mail delivery will be considered., East Side Noted. At the Westminster Presbyterian Church the OUphant sisters will elng tonight. City Engineer Elliott Is having all the old street in Stephens Addition repaired. The deputy bas the steam-roller at work on the streets. Gravel was first raked from the gutters to the center and then the heavy roller was put to work. These streets will last many years with repairs. Miss Laura Beatle has resigned her position as principal of the Glen coe School, in Mount Tabor District, No. 5, to accept a position as teacher in Idaho. Mrs. Frank has been elected to All her place. Miss Beatle has been prin cipal since September, 1SQ2. and Is regard ed as an instructor oi high rank. A well-attended parents' meeting was held In the Clinton Kelly schoolhouso yes terday afternoon. Principal IL H. Thomas and the teachers welcomed the visitors. City Superintendent Rlgler, Mrs. I. H. Addlton and Hellen D. Harford made In structive talks, after which the guests remained a short time to get acquainted with the teachers of the school. The City & Suburban Railroad Company Is completing a mile of new track this side of St. Johns, which will straighten the road and shorten it fully a mile. The new track is laid about a mile this side of St Johns, and will do away with the long swing to the northward. The track is being laid In front -of the schoolbouse, where there Is a deep cut. It will be com pleted In a few days, and cars will then bo run. A large number of members of Port land Lodge, No. 11S, I. O. O. T.t paid Ori ent Lodge. No. 17, a fraternal visit last night in the hall, on the corner of East Pine street and Grand avenue. After an Interesting session of about two hours. during which the three-linkers listened to speeches, refreshments were served Members of Orient Lodge exerted them selves to entertain their guests. Next "Wednesday night members of Gresham will be entertained in the same way in Orient's Hall. Work Is progressing rapidly on the new plant of the Portland Canning Company. at the old smelter works, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The main building. which was used as a warehouse for the smelter, has been moved back from the railroad to give room for a sidetrack. On the south side of this structure the build ing Is being extended so that the entire plant will nearly cover 150x100 feet. A connection is being made with the East Eighth-street bridge, so that berry wag ons can be brought directly to the cannery building. The plant will be ready for the season, which promises to be a busy one. Frejadlce Dylns; Rapidly. NEW ORLEANS. March 25. In ad dressing the local Grand Army men to day. General Thomas J. Stewart, commander-in-chief, said prejudice was rap- "Hand- Wrought" In the arts machinery is a good servant but a bad master. In other words, machinery unas sisted by hand-work produces no work of art. The GORHAM CO, Silversmiths has realized this truth and no piece of silver leaves its workshop that has not received the loving finishing touches of the trained human hand. Some are entirely hand wrought from start to 'finish. But all bear the one distinguishing stamp of value the Gorham trade-mark.
