This letter waa read aloud to the mem be ra of Captain Bailey's relief. In view of the many cases reported to the police of holdups durinft the past Winter where in the culprits escaped with apparent ease, this feat has received the most favorable comment from all a Idea in the police de partment. A subscription fund was started yesterday by the patrolmen to buy a frold medal for Patrolman Charles L. Henson. who stood his ground within few feet of the thuge and tried to bring them down after he had received a bullet wound in his arm. At the Coroner's inquest held at 7:30 o'clock last niKht, a jury found that the deceased highwayman hud been killed by Patrolman Henson while that officer was In the proper discharge of his duty and Included in its verdict that, in its opinion, the officer of the law was fully justified In taking the man's life. Practically no facta ot Iter than t hose already related were brought out at the inquest. It developed, however, during the in quest that there waa another victim to the already lon list of those robbed by these three men Wednesday night. Juror William 1 rJiggin. during the examina tion of one of the witnesses, said: "Those must be the name three men who held up my son. Frank l. Wiggins. He came home shortly before 1 o'clock this morn ing and said three men bad held him up near the Burnable-street bridge. As he had only 13 cents In his pocket, he did 1 not consider the loss worth reporting to the police." The police secured the Identification yesterday of two of the revolvers used bv these men and seem to have estab lished beyond a doubt that these same men committed the burglary at The Port land Gun Store, on First street, between , Alder and Morrison. The proprietor of this place positively identified the re volvers used by the highwaymen as two of those xtolen from his place. That the men have been implicated in other local crimes is the theory of the police in spite of persistent denials. Amusements What the Pre. Agent Say. ('lipid at VaMir" Tonight.

After a warm tilt with mem bers of the Council a few days ago over th subject of gratuities from corpora tions. Mayor Lane's conscience Was quickened, apparently, and he Insisted on returning to the electric, company the value of the cigars presented to him. So. one day this week, the Mayor de termined to alloy the twinges of con science that occasionally reminded him thnt he had smoked a box of very good weeds at the expense of the trolley cor poration, and he repaired to a cigar store and asked what a box of that brand of cigars costs. He was told the price is $S.i. Taking this amount in hand, he went to President Josselyn's office, at Klrst and Alder streets. . marched Into the rooms of the head of the corporation and laid the shining 5 and the paler 50 cent piece on the table. The scene, it is said, "was - indescrib able." Even the bi-weekly meetings of the Council, when the fur flies and the city's conscript flers denounce each other as grafters, paled Into insignificance in comparison. Those In a position to know say there was a heated as well as pointed Interview between his honor and President Josselyn, but both decline to discuss the meeting. Tho return of the 5.J0 came about, it is supposed. -as the result of a wordy duel between the Mayor and members of the Council lately when Mayor Lane, in a veto message, criticised Councllmen who accept 'gratuities." in the way of street car passes, from the electric company. Mayor Ijine was taxed with having re ceived cigars In the same way. This Jolt. It Is supposed, refreshed the Mayors memory and he squared the account by returning the cost of the box given him to President Josselyn. leaves Family Penniless. RAIVIKK. or.. April 1 .

GEER Republican Candidate for Congress The great need in the Northwest Is a deeper channel in the Columbia River. Work on this great project should be continuous and efficient not by piecemeal. The interests of Astoria demand a deeper channel on the bar; those of Portland a deeper one up the river, and every in terest of the great Inland Empire calls loudly for them both with a navigrable river as far toward the mountains as it is possible for money to secure that result. To accomplish this requires constant work on the part of members of Congress. More people in Oregon and an open river to the 9F-a has been the particular hobby of ex-Governor Geer for 30 years, and his ambition is to be a contributing fac tor in securing that result.
