POHTLAXf) MAN ARRESTED.
Last evening Chief of Police
Shearer received a telephone mes

Mr. Krueger is the president and
manager of the Pacific Coast Sales
Promoters of Portland, Or. He lias
been here, stopping at the Hotel
Nash for a week, and It la said he
has been drinking heavily ever alnce
he came. He aaya he can explain ev
erything and waa very anxioua to
keep the matter from going In the
papers.
Just what the charge is cannot be
ascertained until the sheriff arrives
with the warrant. Mr. Krueger put
on a sale for a merchant in this
city last spring, and when he ar
rived he aald he was going to put on
mother. His business is putting on

One or the young men will remain
here looking around, and If he sees
something that will suit them the
others will return and look It over.
Their Idea la to go Into the deal to

aufricleut money to enable them to
do so.

where her mother Ilea dead, and her

afternoon drank poison within the
shadow of the penitentiary walla,
where her husband Is confined. She
will die.
The case is one of the saddest ever
brought under the notice of the lo
cal authorities. William Stokes is
doing three years for grand larceny
and will be liberated in a few weeks.
His faithful wife haa been atarvlng
outside the walls, waiting only to
be able o see him on visitors' day.
This morning she got a message trom
Mltledgevllle, Ga., their former
home, reading:
"Mother dead, father dying. Come
home at once."
It was In vain that the distracted
woman appealed to the neighbors
and carried the telegram from door
to door along some of the more fash
ionable streets, asking only enough
carfare to carry her to Georgia.
One woman gave her 10 cents for
a cup of coffee, but finding that she
could not get enough for the car
fare south, Mrs. 8tokes bought 10
cents' worth of acid in a drug store
and, going near the prison where her
husband la confined, drank It.
Stokes, the prisoner, became so
frantic when he heard of bia wife'a
deed that he had to be placed In the

KOOHKVF.lVr'H BOOKH HIGH.
NEW YORK. Sept. $. "The orig
inal star copy of the writings of
Theodore Roosevelt" made matter
today for a motion In the supreme
court before Justice Bischoff.
Jesse Watson, who haa law offices
at 60 Wall atreet, bought a copy of
the writings in December last from
the Keller-Farmer company, which
publishes them. He agreed to pay
$6600 tor the 22 volumes, at the
rate of $350 a month. He paid
three monthly Installments, $1050
in all, and then stopped, having com
plained to the Keller-Farmer com
pany that the edition waa not up to
specifications.
The publishers sued him tor the
balance and got a $5661 Judgment
by default.
The proceedings were to enable
Watson to open the default and come
In to defend the action.
The lawyers proposed defense is
that when he agreed to buy "the In
dividual star copy" he understood
that he was to get 22 volumes bound
in full morocco, full French levant,
hand-tooled and to cost not less than
$100 a volume.
Also, Mr. Watson expected a let
ter In the author's hand commend
ing the edltton, and that Vol I, the
"Naval Wars" volume, should have
an autograph dated January 10,
1903, the date of the original publi
cation. Instead of being worth $100 or
more a volume, he says, the books
are worth about $2.50 each. So he
asks the court to allow him a coun
ter claim of $6545.
