BY OX WHO WAS THXM. Live Foot Ball- The Dkkocxaz man saw the Christmas game at Portland yesterday between the Multnomahs and the University of California, on Multno mah field. It was played in the presence of five or six thousand people, and was a live, fast game, at least so far as the young men from the south were con cerned. The ground was wet and slip pery, and the ball was hard to hold, but the Berkley bovs nevertheless manased to have hold of it most of the time, long enough to make five touch downs and kick two goals, while the Multnomahs were never able to get it near enough the opposite coal to make it dangerous for the Caliiornians. The Berkley boys play a fast, aggressive game.offenng sen sational plays in running around the ends, in plunging over and through their opponents and in punting. Kara burg at full back. Hall and Smith at half .. back and Thane at quarter are the stars for Berkley. McMillian and Downs at half and -Fecbeimer at tackle were the stars of the Hultnonahs but they were not able to do much and were able to present only one or two fast plays. m dm: Vl; JllitVS 7 if V I i a 111 It is the primary doty of esei j woman to wear in her face the lilies and roses of health.

The check proved to be a forgery snd was returned. Ihe matter was kept quiet, while a hunt was being made. It is now thought beyond reasonable doubt, that McHargue is the man who passed the check. ' Claude IcHatgue U lust 22 years of age, and ft son of Jamea McHargue of Al bany. He'is of a wild, reckless and un govarnatile disposition. Two different times he has been committed to the re form school. He is one of a gang of tough youngsters residing in Albany who styled themselves the "sewer gang," committing all sorts of depredations in true western border styl. His relation ship is respectable, but it .appears the lad is determined to disgrace' them all, which in part he has already done num bers of times.' At the preliminary examination held at Cottage Grove late Satnrday afternoon Claud McChargue, through his attorney, J. S.
