r -r EBE MORNING OfiEGOKlAN. FRIDAY, APRIL 17J 1993: BOLD THUGS ESCAPE Gresham Man Drives Away Two Marauders. SWAG TOO HEAVY TO CARRY Ford Sfetzser Fires on Robbers and CompfU Them to Desert m. Sack of Money Contain ing fl4O0. Gresham's sensational hold-up on "Wednesday evening was the theme of many remarks yesterday and Ford Metz gel's remarkable exhibition of nerve and sTtm-play was highly commended, al though the commendations were mingled with regrets that he failed to get one or both of his masked callers. Gresham is a very quiet place at all times, but on this particular occasion It was un usually so. except at Metxrer's halL where the Salvation Army was exhorting sinners to repent and nearly everyone In the town was there. The hour was yet early only a little after 9 o'clock when a quick succession of gun reports brought ine wnoie populace to the streets. Saved and sinners, repentant and unrepentant, flocked to the sidewalks Just In time to see two fleeting robbers scooting down tne Dicycie path toward Portland with Mr. Metzger pumping lead after them in 30-39 doses from his "Winchester. Mr. Metzger was seen yesterday even ing by an Oregonlan reporter and he told a story of the holp-up that would rival the exploits of Jesse James. And the story was a true one, as many who saw the finale of the episode can certify. The last customer had gone and Metzger veas In the saloon alone. He was flrarlnr ud . the day's receipts from the cash register men ldo i rone aoor was sortiy opened ana were came ue order: "Hold up your hands!" He faced about to And the muzzle of a revolver In his face and his hands went up In a style wholly gratifying to his visitor, out the latter was not satisfied. 31e took Metzger by the wrists and pulled blm up on the bar. where he left him ly ing face downward. Metzger was guarded In this position by the other robber, who held the gun. while the flrst one came around behind the bar and secured the money sack which was lying In an open drawer. All this time Metzger was watch ing his opportunity, which came Just at the right moment, and as tie man strug gled with the sack of coin Metzger slid off the bar and dropped his hand on a convenient revolver. Metzger fired the first shot, which was answered by the robber with the gun. and four bullets whistled by Mctzger's head at a range of less than six feet. Metzger fired only two shots with his revolver, both bullets going through the glass of tho front door, on a level with the top of the bar, but missing their hu man targets by a very small margin. The man with the sack was still try ing to get away but became badly fright ened and dropped his precious burden on the floor with the remark: "Don't shoot, there's your money. In a moment more both of the men were outside and Metzger followed up with a Winchester, firing five more shots at their flying figures as they ran down the path leading toward the schoolhouse. The saloon Is situated In the center of the town and before the shooting was en tirely over a crowd had begun to gather. The sack of money was found on the floor but open and half Its contents scat tered about. It contained H00 in silver and about 11000 more In small gold and a few checks. The sack Is made of heavy canvas and was so nearly full that It was an awkward thing to handle, which ac counts for its being dropped by the hold up man who had It In charge. It weighed IS pounds and was not tied, so that It would have been a .delicate task for a man to carry It off even if he were not being shot at by a man known to be the best marksman In Eastern Multnomah. Mr. Metzger was unable to give a very good description of the two men. One of them was about 5 feet 7 inches high, the other a Utile taller. One had on an old gray coat and soft brown hat. The other wore a dark coat and black slouch hat. Both had soiled white handkerchiefs over their faces as masks: Further than this so good description can be given, except that they spoke good English and ap 'peared to be young men. The presence of so much money In the saloon at one time is accounted for by the tlact that Mr. Metzger has been cashing checks for the men employed on the new railroad. There Is no such a thing as a bank at Gresham and Mr. Metzger con ceived the idea of discounting checks and ftrought the money out from Portland that ;very day. He missed the car at Lents and walked from there home with the money sack tied to a pole, which he car ried over his shoulder. He arrived home safely and bad cashed two or three small checks. He Is of the opinion that the robbers had an inkling of what he was doing and had laid their plana accord ingly. There are so many strangers In Gresham at this time that no one looks Tor a suspicious character" and no one la missed when he goes away. The rob bers are not likely to be caught, although the police of Portland and the Deputy Sheriffs of the county are making great endeavors to apprehend them. OLD FOLKS' CONCERT.

Committee of Cltr Council Refuses to Issue a Saloon License. "Draw five" can never be heard again In "Mother" Olcese's den on Second, near Everett. The original proprietors were elated im some time ago, and there have been many petitions before the llcc&e committee of the Council for a new li cense from other parties. The last saloon-keeper to try his band at procuring a license from the com mittee appeared at the meeting yester day morning. He got a cold reception; in tact, ne was turned down. "We won't have a saloon there; It's bound to be like the old place," chorused Coondlmen Bentley, Slgler and Zimmer man. Councilman Card well, however, thought that as Loss, the would-be saloon-keeper, had rented the place, he should be granted a license. Otherwise It would be a loss to Loss. "If you want to run a saloon here you had better go ' to a respectable part of town." said Zimmerman. In vain did Mr. Loss protest that he Intended to run a straight saloon. The committee ad journed before his argument was finished. HIS PARTNER FOOLS HIM Gardner IC Wilder Asks In Tain for Accounting. Gardner K. Wilder yesterday filed suit against W. I. Reed asking for the ap pointment of a receiver for the W. C Wilder Mill &. Lumber Company, Rainier Mill & Lumber Compmy, and for an ac counting. The argument In the case will probably take place in the State Cir cuit Court within the next few days. The property involved is valued at over SOO.000, and In the complaint, which Is supported by affidavits signed by Charles T. Wilder. William Denholm and R. D. Inman, grots mismanagement and mis conduct on the part of Reed are charged. Wilder alleges that prior to December 5, 1901, Reed had purchased certain prop erty in the town of Rainier, both real and personal, to establish a mill business In which bcth were to be equally interest ed, and a deed to an individual one-half of this property was delivered to Wilder by Reed and wife. The complaint recites that pursuant to an agreement in writing entered Into on December t. Reed was to organize a cor poration under the laws of the State of Oregon, to be known as the W. C Wilder Mill & Lumber Company, with a capital stock of JflO.OOO, and with the prlnclpil office and place of business at San Fran cisco. It was further agreed to transfer each of their undivided one-half Interests In the property to the corporation, on the Issuance by the company of Jl 5.000 fully paid-up capital stock to Wilder and Reed. Pursuant to this contract, and in con tempi itlon of the formation of the com pany. It Is alleged that Wilder and Reed each deposited to the credit of the concern 115. 000. to constitute a capital for conduct ing the mill business, and that Wilder and wife, also, as part of the plan of organiza tion, delivered their deed of conveyance of their interest to the corporation. Reed, it is stated, neglected to carry out the agreement, and proceeded no further than the filing of articles of incorporation of the Rainier Mill & Lumber Company, and on or about February E, 1902. took posses sion of all the property, together with the sum of $30,000 deposited for the capital. and has established and conducted ever since a mill business under the name and names of W. I. Reed. W. C Wilder Mill & Lumber Company, and Rainier Mill & Lumber Company. In conducting the business in this style it Is asserted that Reed has done so against Wllder's pro tests, and has refused to carry out the contract which they entered Into. The complaint sets forth further that Reed has appropriated all the moneys and property, and carried on a mill business under tnese names against wllder's rights. Tho property, it Is alleged, had been leased prior to Its purchase to the Clatsop Mill Company, 'and Reed, It Is charged, collected three months' rent at the rate of 1175 per month, and refuses to account for the amount. The statement is also made in the complaint thit Reed purchased a timber claim at Gray's River, Wash., and entered Into a contract with J. L. Black and brother for logging the claim, paying out of the assets of the lumber companles'about 37000, but that he appropriated the timber claims him self. ' Reed Is said to have permitted the busi ness to become Indebted to himself In the sum of 23,000, and declined to tell Wilder the Items making up this amount of money, end the purposes for which It was used. It Is also averred that Reed has in jured the credit of the business and made large deposits of money belonging Jointly to himself and Wilder In his own name In banks In Oakland, CaL: Astorli and Portland, and declines to advise Wllders regarding the same. He is charged with having conducted the business at a loss, that he failed to keep the lumber properly Insured, and that he would not give Wild er proper Information about the affairs of the corporation. The complaint states in conclusion that Wilder desires to withdraw from the busi ness, and that the assets aggregate about O.000. against which there Is an indebt edness of probably $30,000. William Denholm, an expert, who exam ined the books, states in an affidavit thit the books were kept In a very imperfect and unsatisfactory manner. There was nothing In the books to show the original purchase of property, nowhere did there appear any bank account or dealings with any bank, and all cash transactions ap peared in the name of W. I. Reed per sonally. There was no stock book, and It was Impossible without an Inventory to tell what property belonged to the busi ness. Its value or character. Mr. Inman. as a result of an investiga tion which he made, signed an affidavit that the management of the plant had no skill, the lumber was poorly plied and graded, etc Cake & Cake appear as attorneys for Mr. wilder. THEY SOLD HIS LOGS. Xorr Ex-Senator McBrlde "Wants the Money Ex-United States Senator George W. McBrtde yesterday filed suit against In man. Poulsen & Co. to recover 15000 for logs. The complaint states that McBrlde owns 80 acre of timber land In Columbia County, and that the GobeL Xehalem Sz Pacific Railroad Company, a corporation engaged In cutting and transporting loirs. between January l, ana June 1. ike, cut and removed from McBride's land logs to the amount of LOOO.000 feet, lumber measure, and delivered the same to In man. Poulsen & Co. The logs, it is al leged, were worth 15000. Cannot Par Her. Walter L. McMullln. whose wife has sued blm for a divorce and for 11! tem porary alimony, and attorney's fees, has filed an affidavit stating that he is unable to pay the money. He eays he is provid ing for the support of their child, and that It takes the balance of his Income to provide for himself and make pay ments on debts incurred by himself and his wife amounting to 1150.

"When Grand Lodffe Meets In May, Money Enough for the Bulldlnn; "Will Be Raised. At the session of the Oddfellows' Grand Lodge, which meets in Portland May 20, provision will be made for the erection of the proposed lS-room building on the grounds of the Oddfellows' Home on Hoi Kate and East Twenty-eighth streets, neir Kenllworth. Plans were prepared, but the trustees did not consider themselves Justi fied In proceeding with the erection of the building' until after the meeting of the Grand Lodge, as the cost of material and labor has advanced. However, with the money that has come in from the assess ment on over 9000 Oddfellows in the state there will probably be enough on hand this 7eir to erect the building soon after the adjournment of the Grand Lodge. The present building on the grounds Is fully occupied with wards. The Grand Lodge still retains the Falrview farm, from which a rental Is secured. Owing to the approaching .Grand Lodge Portland Oddfellow lodges will not ar range for any special celebration of the anniversary of the order, which falls on the 27th of April, but have accepted an Invitation to attend services in the First Congregational Church, Sunday, April 28. BCILDIXG LOT SELECTED. Fidelity Lodse Secured Option on Corner of East Alder and Sixth. The movement to erect an A. O. U. W. building in East Portland, started by Fidelity Lodge. No. 4. took on a definite form last night by tba lodge securing an option till the first of July on the lot on the southeast corner of East Alder and East Sixth streets from Edward Magee. the owner, through V. C Dunning, acting as trustee for the lodge. The price of the lot is WOO. A committee had been appointed to transact the business and it was prac tically concluded last night at the office of F. S. Dunning. Frank Schlagel. master workman of the lodge, drew up tbe papers which are to be signed by Mr. Dunning, as trustee, and Mr, Magee. This transaction commits the members to aggressive action to get the building. A Joint stock company will be formed and incorporated at once, which will take the option off the bands of the lodge as soon as possible. A considerable number of members will take stock as soon as It Is known where the location will be. It Is believed that this comer Is one of the very best that can be secured for a lodge building. It Is near East Morrison street and Grand avenue, on which there are car lines, and removed far enough to be out of bearing of the noise of the cam Several years ago Mr. Magee was offered JH.000 ror the half block, including the lot on which he has given an option. There has been only an Informal discus sion of the kind of building that will be required. It Is the opinion of the mem bers of the lodge that a two-story frame building, with a lodge hall on the eecond. and banquet hall on the first floor, will be about what Is required. MILWAUKEE'S FIRST ELECTION. "Will Be Held for City Officers on or About May 28. The Mllwaukle City election will be held about May 28. It will be about May 20 before the charter passed by the Legis lature goes into effect. Unlike the char ter for St. Johns there was no emergency clause, and 90 days must elipse sfter the adjournment of the Legislature before It takes effect. There are prospects for an active elec tion, and two tickets will probably be In the field. William Shlndler. leader of the movement for Incorporation, who was elected Mayor when the County Court of Clackamas County erroneously granted l charter, naturally will be put forward by that party. The. opposition seems to have centered on B. Fish. It is stated that those who were opposed to a city govern ment will now undertake to capture It at the coming election. There Is some talk of Thomas -A. Sellwood being a candidate for Mayor. He has always been strongly opposed to forming a city government, WAST STREET IMPROVED. Committee Is Clrculntlnar retltlou for 3Ilialaelppl Avrnne. There will be a meeting of the Central Alblna Improvement Association this evening In the engine-house to hear the report of the committee of five circulating a petition for the Improvement of Mis sissippi avenue. The association will push this Improvement and get It under way as soon as practicable. The petition calls for plonk, and there are good prospects that It .will "be well signed up. When this Improvement Is made the City & Suburban Railway Company will lay double tracks on Mississippi avenue to tbe new Junction on Michigan and Kllllngsworth avenues. Surveyors have twen over the route. When these double tracks arc laid through Lower Alblna, the St. Johns cars will take that route Instead of through Upper Alblna. and sive about a mile In reaching the Wert Side. CIIOOLHOl'SB CONTRACT LET. Ilarlraan &. Dorter "Will Put l'p Bulldlntr for Rnsxellvllle DlMrtet.

The San Jose scale Is Just getting a foothold In this valley. Tou are not bothered by It much yet, but you will be bothered by It unless you fight It, For this pest we spray with a mixture of lime, sulphur and bluestone. For codlln moth we use one pound of Paris green to 130 gallons of ater." , Mr. Olwell said orcbardlsts In his dis trict used gasoline engines for working the spray pumps. "It's out of the ques tion to run the pumps by hand." he re marked. "In Jackson County, perhaps 30 engines are used. The spray for San Jose scalo takes longer than for codlln moth because the trees have to be treated from tbe ground up. When the bark Is rough tbe work has to be done still more carefully. Spray will keep tbe" bark bright and clean. There's no excuse for green moss on trees. Rough bark makes It frequently Impossible to reach the San Jose scale. Spraying for codlln moth Is much easier, because It Is not necessary to cover .every limb. "But a man to succeed at spraying must go at It with confidence in himself and with determination to get the re sults he Is after. Too many orchardlsts have tried spraying with half-hearted purpese and when they did not succeed, they have .said. "I told you so They sprayed a few times and Imagined tho were giving the medicine a good trial and then have given up In disgust. A man must get good poison, be must know how to mix It and he mujt keep it mixed.

Mr. Olwell aald that bearing orchards In Jackson County sold at between l"sW and PCO per" acre, and that the value of land has been advancing In tbe past few years. Raw land which two years ago sold at $3S or (to an acre Is now valued at about 1100. The black soil of creek bottoms Is the best for apples. In the granite soli peaches thrive, but apples do not. Apple trees are generally planted 30 feet apart and sometimes 35. "In past years." said Mr. Olwell, "we have planted 21 feet apart, but that's too close," Southern Oregon gets Us nursery stock largely from the Willamette Valley. "Your nursery stock here." remarked Mr. Olwell. "Is very fine. "Our district," he continued, "is de voting itself more and more to apple culture. The Industry is growing at a rapid rate. And the fruit will find a market. The demand for fine apples seems unlimited so far as we are con cerned. "We can grow drtaln varieties of apples better than any other part of America, or. I might say. of the world. Those va rieties are Yellow Newton. Spltzenberg and Jonathan. Hood River probably dees as well as we. but Its people have not entered the business on the large com mercial scale that we have done "Oregon should produce apples which It can produce better than does any other part of the world.
