Or.; Sept; 19. (Special.) One of ,the most'Uiarasslng and pitiful scenes ever enacted Jn? Baker City took place this morning ..at ' the parish-house of St. Francis Church diocese, on First street, on-the occasion of the installation of Father Gartland, ' formerly of La Grande, as parish priest of Baker City parish. Father Desmarals, the recent parish priest- here, and who has occupied the position for several years, was ar rested and confined in the County Jail by a Deputy Sheriff, who went to serve the papers" in a suit of ejectment against Father Desmarais for possession of the parish-house, and was met with deter mined resistance and force by the father. An- hour or two later the sister of Father Desmarals, whose unfortunateJ condition has been known for some time past and who has upon two occasions been an inmate of an insane asylum, was also- taken in charge by the Deputy Sher iff and is now In confinement awaiting further action by the authorities. All the Catholics of the parish and the citizens generally regret extremely the unfortunate occurrence, which seems to have been unavoidable. Sorrow and sym pathy were expressed on all sides, but as it was not a 'personal matter and only a necessity of the gravest kind, every thing within' reason and in the kindest spirit was done by all who had -any con-r nectlon with the affair to make matters as easy for Father Desmarals and his sister as possible. The difficulty began at the conference some time ago, at which Father O.'Reilly was nominated bishop of the diocese of Baker City. At that time it was decided that Father Desmarals should go to the parish at The Dalles. Bishop O'Reilly, after his arrival here, informed Father Desmarals of the decision, but the latter objected and appealed to the papal dele gate. In the meantime retaining posses sion of the parish-house and property. The physical condition of his sister was very, poor and her continued ill health and unbalanced mind complicated mat ters very much. Bishop O'Reilly recently gave another notice to Father Desmarals that he must give up the possession of the parish-house and he replied that his case was still in the hands of the papal delegate. The property of St. Francis s parish and all other property in the diocese- over which Bishop O'Reilly presides is in the name of the bishop as an incorporated body and deeds perfecting title to the same have been filed .in the Recorder's office. A civil suit In ejectment was begun yes terday by Bishop O'Reilly and the papers served by Deputy Sheriff Hemple. A number of gentlemen of the congregation were present with Bishop O'Reilly at the parish-house when Father Gartland was placed in charge afad ejectment papers served. The forceful resistance of Father Desmarals. who became violently hysteri cal, 'If not temporarily demented, caused his arrest. Every provision -was made for the comfort of himself and sister and sev eral accompanied the father In a hack to the -County Courthouse. On the way the unfortunate gentleman created much disturbance and afterward at the Courthouse made considerable trouble. Later In the afternoon, at the Instance of the congregation and after Father Desmarals became composed, he proposed that If the parties who had made complaint against his sister would withdraw the action, he would take two or three days to settle up his affairs and would take his sister East with him, and in the meantime take up his quarters at the Packwood Hotel. On this assurance he was released from custody and, accompanied by an official, began to gather up the ends of his busi ness and put his personal effects together. It is understood that the bishop has suspended Father Desmarals pending the time when he shall reconcile himself to the authority of the church and, while his reverence was grieved over the situa tion, there was but one thing to do and that was done. Father Gartland and Bishop O'Reilly are now in possession of church property in this parish and diocese and all believe these temporary difficulties will be smoothed over and adjusted so - that Father Desmarals will in the future be properly taken care of and reinstated in as good or better parish than the one he was transferred from or his suspension will be made permanent. CONFESSED AXD KILLED HIMSELF. Deputy MnrKlinl tit Snn Franclaco Could ot Stand DiHRrnce. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19. W. P. Gam ble, the United States Deputy Marshal who confessed complicity in a plot to sub stitute old Chinese for young Chinese who had been ordered deported, committed sui cide in Buena Vista Park by sending two bullets into his brain. Rather tftan face the disgrace of a trial and possible conviction in the Federal Courts he left his young wife and killed himself. Several days ago Gamble con fessed his part in the scheme to defraud the Government to United States Attorney "Woodworth and United States Attorney Sxune. Deputy Sheriffs W. T. Dasha, Thomas F. Burnett and T. J. Dempsey are under ar rest, accused of complicity in the Chinese substitution frauds which led to the suicide of Deputy United States Marshal Gamble. It is alleged that the accused deputies each obtained one-third of the $200 said to have been given to Gamble for every case of a substituted Chinese. The arrests were made after a confession made by Gamble on Monday, In which he fully explained the methods by which the Chinese exclusion law was being evaded by the deporting of aged Mongolians in stead of younger men who were illegally attempting to enter the United States. United States Marshal Shine made the following statement tonight: "After Sheriff Lackmann and our party had arrested the men, we took them to a private place and then one by one into a room in order to get statements from them. They told us in detail how the sub stitutions were made. A Chinaman would come to the jail in the nighLon their shift with tho substitutes, and the real prison ers would be allowed to go out of the door. Burnett was captain of the shift, and his place was at the first door; Dasha was In the upper cprridor and Dempsey was his associate. Two hundred dollars for each Chinese thus allowed to escape was the fixed price, of which Gamble re ceived one-third and the three jailers tho remainder. "Gamble was not In the combination originally. They made it a point to get substitutes resembling the Chinese in the jail, so that there would be-less chance of accidental detection:" The prisoners said that they had not made more than 20 substitutions in' all and that the largest sum of money re ceived for a . single -transaction -was $1000 for five substitutes. Dasha and Burnett were Interested in the last transaction that was discovered, but none of the con- spirators received any money for the job on account of Its failure. They said that they had been obliged to take Gamble into the" scheme and allow him to become a sharer in the proceeds, for two reasons first, because it was dif ficult to obtain substitutes In all cases who looked sufficiently like the genuine to pas3 for them even on a superficial examination, and, second, because Gam ble became auspicious on one occasion and remarked to. Dasha, "Don't try to do that again." ASHLAXD ATTORNEY ARRESTED. Charged With Uttcrlnff a Forged In strument and Placing on Record. ASHLAND, Or.. Sept. 19.

In settling up .the Houck estate the executors discovered a satisfaction of the Sutton mortgage on file and dated back to July, 1901. This led to the investigation by the District Attorney. Mr. Trefren, accompanied by his attor ney, Hon. B. D. Brlggs, appeared in the Circuit Court at Jacksonville this morn ing to plead, and asked for a continuance until the next term of court; The accused attorney denies all knowl edge of the alleged spurious instrument.

LONG LEAP FOR LIBERTY DRUG CLERKG OES OUT OF HOTEL BY SECOND-STORY" WINDOW. W. E. .Hambrook, Wanted in Port land, Captured After Desperate Effort to Elude Officers. NORTH YAKIMA, Sept 19. (Special.) A fugitive from justice named W. E. Hambrook. who is wanted at Portland, Or., by the Morgan Company on the charge of grand larceny, jumped out of a second-story, window at the Bartholet Ho tel today, and escaped from an officer. He had been placed under arrest this morn ing and had consented to return to Ore gon without requisition- papers- The officer took him to the Bartholet Hotel to give him a chance to get some personal effects out of a grip. He asked the officer to permit him to enter a water closet The officer refused. The prisoner immediately .plunged Into the closet and closed the door. He Jumped out of a window to the roof of a building' below and then to the street He disappeared two blocks away, after being chased arid fired at several times by a crowd of about 40 people. He was captured this evening In a hay-loft Hambrook is also wanted in Portland for his operations while in the employ of -Wbodard, Clarke & Co. While a clerk In the drug store, he did a land-office busi ness, it is alleged, by selling drugs from the store stock to other local druggists. Hambrook's scheme was to visit small druggists, representing himself as a drum mer from a large San Francisco house. Cards engraved with his name aided in the plan. He gave the druggists a strong line of talk, about Introducing new special ties, and wishing to enter the Portland field, and in the end sold them drugs at less than the wholesale price. The drug gists looked upon the young man who gave them such good bargains with favor, and it was hard for the firm to accumu late evidence when they were morally certain they were being defrauded by the clerk. The goods he sold came from his department, and taken deliberately from the stock of the store. Cocaine, morphine and druggists' specialties were the prin cipal articles sold by the enterprising young drummer. Repeatedly finding shortages in their stock the members of the firm of Wood ard, Clarke & Co. watched Hambrook. with the result that they discovered that drugs costing hundreds of dollars had been disposed of. Hambrook practicaily confessed, and some of the goods were recovered, but the case was not pushed, and the young man was let off. Hambrook Is of good appearance, and about 30 years of age. Though the police learned of'the arrest yesterday the mat ter was not allowed to pass the door of Chief Hunt's office. Much of the stolen property was sold to a North Third-street druggist. Ham brook was seen to frequently enter this store, and when it was known that some one in the wholesale house had been steal ing drugs he was suspected. FILIPINOS ARE HELD ON SHERMAN.

Thfe garments produced, from overcoat to evening clothes, are made with as much distinction and are as beautifully finished as any product of the most exclusive cus tom tailor. Critical dressers everywhere pronounce "THE ATTERBURY SYSTEM" garments models of graceful lines and attractive appearance, and thousands of men whose tastes would naturally lead them to a merchant tailor have found that , they can obtain the same service and satisfaction in the Atter bury" clothes that they do in the tailors' most expensive gar ments and at a saving of 33 to 50 percent. The utmost care regarding detail is used in making this cele brated apparel, and the high quality standard is maintained at any cost. Every yard of goods is chemically tested and steamed before it is cut, and even the silk thread used in the construction of these garments must pass the close scrutiny of the severest tests. Effort, directed by intelligence and aug mented by cleverness, produces individuality and distinctive ness in "Atterbury" clothing which cannot be surpassed, and a most important point in the production of these garments is that they are cut and made singly and by hand, which means that they can follow even the slightest change in the modes an impossibility when garments are cut in vast quantities, as in the usual readpmade clothing, months, in advance of the season and by machines which operate with rigid precision, admitting of no variation.
