Persuasion Uses Another Method

Carried Enough Guns to Supply an Army Takes
Horse and Buggy at Point of Rifle
Constable W. A. Jones of Estacada
arrived m this citr late Saturday
night with Chnrles Day, a youug man
well known in that vicinity, who
earlier in tue day liad compelled
Louis Gerher of Logan and Qeorge
Sclinltz of Estacada at the point of a
rifle to give him their boggy and a
small amount of money.
The case is a "most peculiar one,
and dates back a few weeks, when
Day, who was foreman in a wood
chopping camp near JEstacada, quar
relled with two men, one named
Howard, and the other Ed Strunk,
over a trivial matter,-on acconnt of
which the two would not speak to
him. Day tried various ways of
effecting a reconciliation, but to no
avail, su he recently aold his talking
machine and a large number of rec
ords, and Saturday morning appeared
with euuogh shooting irons and am
munition on his person to outfit an
army of any of the South American
republics. As they could not be per
suaded to sieik to him, he intended
to force them to do so.
He started for Estacada, closely fol
lowed by Strung;, but when part way
lie retraced his steps, and meeting
Howard at the camp, compelled him
to carry his(Day's) blankets to the
river, a distance of a mile and a half.
While ou the way to the stream, Day
told his unwilling servant a rambling
tale about robbing a bank, aud asked
his assistance. Telling Howard to
wait oil that eide of the river till
other acr'r.:,; in the bank affair
had." C .j was rowed across
...ViivBf by a Mrs. Brown.
At ten o'clock he encountered the
two young men in the buggy, who
were on their way to Logun, and
with whom he was acquainted, and
after greeting them, cotnauded them
to get out of the rig. They supposing
the men to be jesting made some
slight remark, but when lie leveled
his rifle at them, they lost no time in
obeying his wis!;, He then a;:kod if
they had money, and they gave him
f3.85. Getting in the rig, Dav drove
about a quarter f a mile up the road,
when he got ont, tied the horse to a
tree, and took to the timber. At noon
he emerged again, and meeting Mr.
Young and Mr. Allen, he asked for
something to eat. Mr. Youufc brought
him to his home, about six wiles troui 1
Estacada, and Mrs Young prepared a
meal. The inmates of the house were
greatly surprised to see Day, when he
sat down to eat, cock his rifle and lay
it across his Ian. Barelv had lie be
gun to eat when he suddenly jumped
up, grabbing a sandwich and saying
he thought the house was being sur
rounded by officers, disappeared into
the woods went of the house. He was
heard to shoot Beveral times, presum
ably practicing to fight the o dicers he
iinagiued were on his track.
Laying in the woods, he began to
consider what a predicament he had
placed himself iu, so about 1 oo'lock
he went again to the Young residence
and phoned to Constable Jones that he
was ready to give himself up. When
the oflloer, aooonipanied by his brjth
er, John Jones, Ed Close and John
rslood arrived at the house, Day was
phoi.ina to Deputy Sheriff Baker in
this city a9 to the probable penalty
that lie would receive. He stated that
he was willing to serve a two yeir
sentence, but should it be any heavier
he would again go to the woods and
do the Tracy-Merrill stun ..

Through her attorney, Allen P. Joy,
Mrs Louetta Jackson has commenced
a damage suit against the Oregon
Electrio Oompnay for 18000. She

children boarded a car of that com
pany for Chemeketa station, and the
co'nduntor refused to accept her ticket,
although the ticket agent at the
Jefferson street terminal had stated
that it was good. The o'Boial of the
company, she states, would not listen
to her, but addressed her in loud and
abusive tones, ordering her to get off
the car, which she was compelled to
do. Her baggage was le t on the car,

Soarohing the prisoner, the cousta
ble found to his amazement that Day
would have been able to have carried
out his talk about selling his life
dearly, for in addition to a Krag
jorgenson nne, the man carried a
calibre Colts revolver, an automatio
pistol also of the Colts variety, and a
caliber target pistol. Two bolts
around bis waist contained 100 ronnds

found in his pocket, while he wore a
a false beaid. He appeared to like
this disguise, for he wore the beard
till lie was lockod in the county jail
nere,.
On the way to this city from Esta
cada, Day told Jones that he thought
the youug men in the buggy had been
accompanied by officers who were
trying to surround him, and that he
thought it would be a capital joke to
take their buggy.
Wednesday morning, Day was ex
amined in the county court by Dr,
M. C. Strickland and Judge Dimick
as tcrTiis sanity, and was pronounoed
perfectly sane. He was bound over to
the grand jury.

Although Organization Was
but Two Weeks Old,
Much Interest Was
Aroused
By Mrs. Jno. Robins.
The Clackamas and Marion County
Poultry and Pet Stock Association
held its first annual show at Caubv
last Friday with very satisfactory re
sults, as Uanby is a'town 'nil of life
and push, having its full share of
business. A very oreditable show was
the result of their first meeting for
organization, held just two weeks
previous.
The sou around UHiiby being par
ticularly adapted to all kinds of fruit
growing, also encourages the raising
of poultry ; and there being a good
many varieties of puro bred fowls and
a few breeders working into the fancy
breeds, tins enterprising little town
thought the right time had come lor
organizing an association and thus en
couraging the improvement of all
poultry and eaucating the people
through the association in all matteis
pertaining to poultry. For instance,
we believe iu the score card system of
judging.
The score card calls tor standard
weight, size, shape, etc, and those.
qualities call for proper mating, feed
ing aud housing. With these threa
important requirements looked after,
a very deoied improvement in both
poultry and purse is sure to follow.
Elmer Dixon of Oregon City judged

A FAIRY STORY
Mrs. Anderson Weds Youth Who Stole from
Her by Forgery
FOLLOWED THE THIEF TO OHIO
As She, the Star Witness, Cannot Appear Against
Husband, Case Gets Badly Tangled
One of the strangest romances un
folded in this section is that of Mrs.
Anderson, a widow of Redland, aged
45 years, and William Martin, alius
Ordway, aged 21. Mrs. Andemon's
former husband died last summer as
the result of a kick from a horse, so
in-order to have the duties around the
house fulfilled, Mrs. Anderson took
Ordway, then known as Martin in her
employ. Martin, who is a bright, in
telligent fellow, soon gained many
friends and admirorg, among theni his
fair employer, and lie soon won her
confidence.
Too late she learned the sad story
of mirplaced confidence, for December
12, he oame to this city to transact
some business, and while here, hi
presented a cheok for 1376, supposedly
signed by Mrs. Anderson, at the Bauk
of Oregon Uity, where it was paid,
and as lie failed to ryturn to the farm,
it was learned that Mrs. Anderson's
name was forged and the youthful
farmhand had left for parts unknown.
PresidentlO. H. Oauflald of the bank
swore out a complaint in Justice Sam
son's court, and a warrant was at
once issued for Martin's arrest. Ho
was located by the officers at Deuver,
Colorado, and later at Columbus,
Ohio.
' Worrying over the affair. Mrs. An
derson became broken down in health,
aud went to the home of her brother
on the Columbia River. Hearing that
the former employ was .in Columbus,
she left for that oity, aud upou her
arrival, the two were quietly married.
After a brief honeymoon in that
state, the pair arrived in this city re
cently, and repaired at onoe to the
office of Justice Samson, where the
bridegroom gave himBelf up.
Mrs. Martin assured the judge that
she would make the amount of the
forgery good to the batik next day,
and asked that her husband go free.
Judge Samson, however, held him to
answer to the charge in the oircuit
court, in the sum of f500 tiouds whioh
the brido put up.
As the law stands, the late Mrs.
Anderson, now Mrs. Martin, being
the wife of the defendant and the star
witness in the case, cannot testify
against him, without his consent.
Hor former husband died last June
and had a life insurance polioy in her
favor, which she collected, and a large
portion of that sum is in the bank.

Jennings Lodge.
The observance of'the one-hundredth
birthday anniversary of Abraham
Lincoln and the semi-centennial of
Oregon which waa held at the school
house of this place, by the Women's
Industrial Club, on the evening of
February 12th was very largely atten
ded and a very fine literary program
was carried out. A number from Port
land, Gladstone and Rlsley attended
and assisted in the entertainment.
The program opened with the singing
of America by all present. A few
words of welcome by the president,
Mrs. Morse, and H. C. Painton step
ped forward and in a few well chosen
words in the behalf of Mrs. H. H.
Emmons, presented the Jennings
Lodge school with a beautiful picture
of Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Palntou
said In part that the lessons which
the pupils will carry with them from
the love Lincoln had of his mother,
of his faithfulness to his studies, the
love of his country and his follow
men and his honesty can not help to
influence the lives of these pupils.
While they can not all become
Abraham LIncolns they all ' have
their places to fill and from
the Influence of this picture may they
grow up to love their country and be
come honest and useful citizens. L.
Wilcox, President of the Board re
sponded and thanked Mrs. Emmons
for her gift. He also thanked the
Womens Club for what they nave
done, and as he Is an old soldier, pail
a very fitting tribute to Abraham
Lincoln.
Miss Lottie Hampton, accompanied
by Mrs. Hampton, sang a solo and
responded with an encore. An essay
on Lincoln's life by Mrs. J. B. Evans
was read by Miss Bronte Jennings.
A solo by Victor Gault of Gladstone
acompanled by his mother pleased
the audience very much and he re
sponded with an encore. Mrs. Beck
ner, our vice president, gave an or
iginal poem on "Oregon." It was well
received and appreciated very much
and ought to grace the pages of every
magazine published In Oregon. A
duet followed by Helen M. Palntou
and Edna Ross on "My Oregon Home"
they responded with an encore. A
paper on Oregon by Mrs Clark of
Gladstone was very Interesting and
Instructive. Mrs. Clark comes from
an old pioneer family. She vividly
told of the early days and many Inter-f-stlng
things. Space will not permit
a write up of It that would do justice
to Mrs. Clark. A recitation was then
given by Mis Cavlllne of Portland
Part of it she sang with her sweet
voice In a most charming way and
responded with a comlo selection
Miss Caffal of Milwaukie delighted
the audience with a piano solo. Miss
Caffal is an artist of some note. A
solo by Mr. Hampton accompanied
by his wife, he having also responded
to an encore. Miss Bronte Jennings
gave a temperance recitation In her
own charming manner.
Mrs. Morse thanked the audience
for their kind attention and snoke
few words to the children and announ
ced that the refreshments would then
be served. ' -
The agent of the Troy Laundry of
Portland was calling here, making

The entertainment given by the
teachers and scholars of the different
grades of the Milwaukie school Fri
day of last week was well attended
and reflected great credit on Mrs. E.
C. Shaw the prlncilal, and hor corps
of teacherB, Mrs. E. S. Buck, Mrs. E.
R. Elsert, Miss Nlles, and the Misses
Ella and Kate Casto. .Each number
was well tendered and the visitors
enjoyed the overling's entereainment
Immensely. The" post ofllce, which
dispensed valentines was besieged
with a humorous croud from the time
it opened until the closing hour.
Many a heart was made glad by the
tokens of remberances and othermls
sives in the role of valentines, which
were dispensed to all who chanced to
be fortunate enough to have attended.
The mimical portion was under the
supervision of Mrs. E. R. Eisert and
the different grades aquitted them
selves admirably. Lunch was served
In one of the school rooms, and the
proceeds of the entertainment went
toward paying for the new piano,
which Mrs. Elsert presided over dur
ing the evening's programme.
Parties have been looking for acre
age In and about Milwaukie the past
week, and we understand Mrs. Young

Grasle.
The old George HIvely place above
Philip Strleb's was sold to T. J. Millar,

Milwaukie is having more than Its
share-of epidemics. The Keller fam

Mrs. J. C. Elkins Is under the care
of a physician In Portland, the small

she will entirely recover from the
serious effscts from which the des-
ease loft her.

The coming of the right of way

upon with Interest by the residents
of Milwaukie. It Is both amusing and
interesting to listen to the views of
different ones concerning the railroad,

Parkplace School Notes.
The senior class has been slightly
decreased by the absence of two young
men who found Parkplace too warm
for thorn. They like to run things
to suit themselves, but they found
thut Mr. Wilkerson wouldn't be run.
so they decided to find some one
whom they couid run. Mr. Wilkerson
thinks thut students must be ef
ficient In their Btudles before they
can partake of athletics, and he
would no sooner sacrificed his Drin-
cpile for the sake of two boys than
he would have added a grade to the
school for the sake of athletics, The
article In the Courier was a slight
mistake as one of the boys mentioned
s now attending Parkplace and from
all that can be learned, he has no
mention of quitting until next June.
Another persou mentioned had been
in attendance at Parkplace only a few
days and aapparently never Intended
to stay long. Therefore the real loss
of the school was only one student.
Victor Gault has been 111 for sev
eral days and was forced to leave
school Wednesday.
Stanford More has returned to
school after a few. days Illness.
The high school students are under
going a mental strain, this being the
week- for the monthly tests.
Parkplace's prospocts In the inter
schoalstlc debate are looking exceed
ingly bright at present. The debate
next Friday will be a practice debate
on the question to be used between
Parkplace and Woodburn.
Among the visitors to the high
