DISTURBED AT MIDNIGHT. Demented Person Leaves Wearing Apparel Behind Him. Thursday night at about midnight Mrs. Stafford, living on High street between Fourth and Fifth, Oregon City, heard a strange noise outside that disturbed her. Little attention wa paid, to it, however, but the next morning when curiosity led to a the strangers. Word was brought to the Oregon City police Inte Saturday afternoon that a fine automobile was standing deserted on a road about four miles to the west of the city Chief Burns secured a rig and went out and brought the car to the city. vIt was a handsome four passenger, car but showed hard usage. This proved to be the car stolen on the street of Portland late Thursday afternoon, nnd It Is thought that It was taken by the yeggs who attempt ed to rob the L. Adams store Friday morning. It is believed the run was made from Portland to Oregon City, .then from Oregon City to the point where found, near to the electric line running from Salem to Portland, from which place the yeggs returned to the point of starting. No further clue has been found to the robbers. once started on up the hill As soon as Mrs. Nelson and her companion started on the men began to follow. Seeing they were followed the women became alarmed and be gan to run. The Austrians continued to follow, however, and keep close to the fleeing women. Mrs. Hopkins, the mother of Mrs. Nelson and the woman they came to visit, lives at the very top of the hill. Just as Mrs. Nelson and her companion turned In to the yard the leader of the Austrian trio, and the man who put his hand on Mrs. Nelson's Bhoulder when first accosted, caught hold of her, threw her to the ground and began to kiss her. She made an outcry and struggled with the fellow and finally got away from him but not until her clothes were badly soiled, her hat (Continued on Page 4.) In the pockets of the vest a watch was found, attached to which was a double small link chain, memorandum book, order for medical attendance from the Sheridan Lumber Co. to Tony Bokant and signed by J. A. Stelb counter and dated December 2C. 1910. The find led to considerable specu lation from the fact that no further evidence was found to explain the in cident. It is surmised that the man must have been crazy, or at least tem porarily demented. Yesterday a Greek appeared upon the scene, accompanied by an Inter preter, and laid claim to the clothes and identified the watch. Sheriff Beatie and Constable Miles were with them and gave assurance that as the Greek's stories seemed regular it was only fair to them to deliver the clothes and watch, which was done. This un ravels a mystery that has agitated the Hill people for the past week. With a few days of pleasant weath er during the past week, many of the farmers of the county were able to get some of their farm land ln condi tion for the sowing of some of the earlier crops, although the ground was too wet to accomplish much. Many of the fanners, who have resided in this city for years, are predicting cold weather In January and Fehmary. Garden truck I still coming into the markets, and there Is alway a steady demand for this. Large shipments of oranges for the . holiday trade have been received here by the merchants, and there was a good demand. They were ranging at retail prices from 20 cents to 35 cents per dozen, with the Japanese at 15 cents. There is a good demand for the latter, as they are sweeter in flavor than those of the California oranges. Clackamas county apples are In de mand in the Portland markets, that is, the preferred stock. The price of Oregon ranch eggs re mains about the same as that of last week, the wholesale price being 43 cents, while the retail price is 45 cents. There is no demand whatever for the Eastern product mat is being (Continued on Page 4.)
