POLICE CHIEF
Orders Deputy to Blow up
Smelter Plant.
WOULD CHARGE STRIKERS WITH OUTRAGE
BOX SOCIAL.
Officer Alleges He Defused to live-

Work Was too Raw.
SEATTLE, Wash.. March 24.-
sTames R. Little, for many years a
deputy United States marshal, in an
affidavit sworn to today, charges
that Chief of Police Huggins, of Hus
ton, near Tacoma, ordered him to
blow up the transformer at the
smelter works with dynamite, in or
der that he (Huggins) might blame
the "outrage" on the smeltermen,
who have been on strike for several
months.
The strike started January 1,
when 350 men walked out because
Iheir wages were cut.
The Ruston smelter is the only
sea coast smelter of the big Guggen
heim Interests on the Pacific coast.
Huston is a town of 3000 inhabitants
and Is owned by the Guggenhelms.
Little save ho refused to have a
hand In a scheme so "raw," and quit
his job as spcial deputy sheriff at
Huston.
The former deputy marshal made
a name for himself in Alaska,
'Where for 15 years he was engaged
.in suppressing the liquor traffic
among the Indians.
Was Out of Work.
"I went to Ruston," said Little to
'day, "because I was temporarily out
of employment and because police
and detective work is my business.
"By arrangement I met Huggins
that evening and he instructed HQi to
report to him at 4 o'clock every
morning.
"He told me I was to 'work' the
ithree saloons to which he had given
orders that no liquor was to be sold
while the strike was on. 'And,' he
added, 'be sure anl get the green sa
loon on the hill, owned by Popritch,
a Greek, for he is no good and a
bad actor.'
"I engaged a room at the Ruston
hotel and posed as a gambler. That
night Andrew Oronke was shot. '1
reported to Huggins that a striker
had been shot and possibly would die
and that, sVfar as I could discover,
he was a law abiding man.
"Huggins replied: 'We got him,
and we'll get some more of them.'
"He told me to get acquainted
with the strikers and If possible Join
their union.
To "ict Four or Five."
"The next night, the eighth, Hug
gins said: 'Little, I want you to get
some dynamite and plant it under
the transformer and get four or five
union men sear the place. V?en
you have lighted the fuse call me and
I will arrest the strikers and blame
them. That is the only way to win
this strike. You make your getaway
and come back later and go to work."
"He told me that the prosecuting
attorney, the mayor and the smelter
superintendent wanted the Job done.
Tonight I will show you where I
want the stuff planted,' he Bald. I
then went to Tacoma and on the way

decided I would have nothing to do
with a thing like that.
"Finally I wrote a letter resigning
In It I told Huggins that he was
'too raw' for me."
SOUTH DEER CREEK ITEMS
At the regular meeting of the
Grange last Saturday evening, which
was an open one, the . interesting
feature of the evening was a mock
trial in which one of the younger
members of the grange was on trial
for stealing a pair of rubbers from a
neighbor. Needless to say, he was
not convicted, even though the prose
cution worked hard for that end. The
balance of the program consisted of
a reading by Miss Vernie Embree
and several selections by the Grange
orchestra, after which the ladies of
the Grange served refreshments. At
the next meeting, which occurs the
first Saturday in April, the main
feature of the lecturer's program will
be a study of caring for baby chicks
and turkeys and the building of in
expensive brooders, with special ref
erencence to the style of brooders
used extnslvely by the chicken grow
ers of Petaluma, California, where
the chicken industry Is highly spec
ialized. The South Deer Creek Sewing Cir
cle met at the home of Mrs. C. H.
Bailey last Thursday afternoon, when
the Indies were entertained by Mrs.
Herbert Miller and Mrs. Bailey. The
next meeting will be held at the home
of Mrs. Smith
The plasterers are at work on the

planting of 40 acres of English wnl

Unknown Man.
HILLSBORO, Or., March 24. The
people of this city were much agitat
ed last night by report of an as
sault on Miss Gladys Hensley, the
16-year-old daughter of John Hens
ley, street commissioner.
Miss Hensley was returning alone
to her home from the moving pic
ture show about 9 o'clolk, and she
says that when she reached the cor
ner of Fifth and Oak streets a man
'umped out from behind a .telephone
pole, grabbed her around the walBt
with one hand, placed his other
hand over her mouth to prevent an
outcry and loaded her into a buggy
that stood by the durb, Miss Hensley
fought to free herself, and a'ter the
man had driven several blocks she
succeeded in throwing herself from
the buggy.
X. L. Fletcher, a store keeper,
heard her cries for help, and he
hastily donned his clothes and ran
to her assistance. He found Miss
Hensley unconscious. Other men
who were attracted by Mr. Fletcher's
shouts, ran up and tho victim was
taken to her home. Dr. J. O. Robb
found her badly bruised from her
fall from the buggy, but not other
wise injured.
The night was too dark for the
girl to see her assailant's features,
she says, but she thinks he was a
foreigner, as he spoke once to her
in what she thinks was a foreign
tongue. She tliinks the man was
intoxicated.
TEDDY GETS THE GUN
Weapon With Which Sclirank Fired
To He given To Colonel "
'' MIWAUKEE, Wis., March 23.
The revolver with which John
Schrank attempted to kill Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt in Milwaukee, in
October, 1912, will be presented to
Mr. Roosevelt, together with five
unused bullets which remained In
the weapon when Schrank was
seized and handed over to the police.
This was the understanding today
when E. E. Mlutor, who says It was
he who wrested the gun from Schrank
made a request to Judge A. C. Backus
of the municipal court, in which
Schrank was tried, for possesion of
the weapon.
Judge Backus granted the request
after obtianing a promise from Mint-
cr that he would hund tn rc.olver
and bullets to Mr. Roosi.elt when
the latter returned to this country
from South America.
