ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL
(Continued from Page 1.)
During the afternoon the men vent
ed their spleen over the miscarriage
of their plans by rattling the barred
doors, pounding upon the walls, and
shouting defiance to the county offi
cers. Later in the afternoon prison
ers sitting near a grating were over
heard to say that they "would get him
yet for sticking us up on the bridge."
This threat is supposed to be direct
ed at Sheriff MUss, who with only
five deputies to assist him, made a
clever capture of 28 of the malcon
tents just before dawn Wednesday
morning.
. Guard to be Doubled.
Hereafter no deputy will go into
the county jail unless accompanied by
two other officers, and guards about
the building at night will be double'l.
This last step will be taken to offset
any attempt at jail delivery that may
be made by sympathizers from Port
land or elsewhere.
That such an attempt may be made
is thought possible, as Thomas Burns,
one of the agitators from Portland,
and who was arrested here Wednes
day night for refusing to obey t'e
emergency rules against street speak
ing established during the excitement
following the rioting, returned to the
city today in spite of the fact that
one of the conditions of his release
was that he would remain away until
Monday, the day of his trial. Burns
'was released upon recognizance, an.l
the promise of his lawyer, Attorney
Jeffrey, of Portland, that he would
stay away from Oregon City until he
faced court.
During Friday be was in this city,
attempted to get into one of the west
side mills, but was recognized and
barred at the gate. He then return
ed to the city proper, where he spent
the time . interviewing local sympa
thizers. No attempt at street speaking 'was
made Friday night in the city, and
outside of the disturbance in the
county jail there was no disturbance
of any nature that could be connect
ed with the agitation earlier in the
week.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
Credit for An Idea.
Editor, The Enterprise: ,
I write this asking that credit be
given where credit is due. In the
matter of the free speech fight about
to be carried out by the I. W. W. or
ganization, the facts are as follows:
Seeing that this city, through the
arrest of four men attempting to
speak, has sent an invitation broad
cast for the assemby of I. W. W. from
all quarters to participate here, and
knowing full well what this meant,
I called on Mr. W. S. U'Ren to see
what could be done. At the little
caucus was Mr. U Rren, Mr. Chris
Schuebel, Roliert Schuebel and my
self. Mr. U'Ren at once suggested
what was afterwards done. He at
once interviewed Mayor Jones, and
was turned down. After returning he
called up Mr. McBain and Hawley,
who at once saw the point. A con
ference was agreed and some 20 of
the leading citizens were to be no
tified to meet at the courthouse not
later than seven o'clock. What fol
lowed after that I could not say, but
we do know that Mr. U'Ren put in
the entire afternoon to accomplish
what has been done; and through the
influence of Mr. U'Ren, Mr. McBain
and Hawley one of the worst things
that could have happened to Oregon
City has been avoided. To the fer
tile brain and the kind heart of W. S.
U'Ren riot and bloodshed have been
avoided, provided that we keep cool
heads and kind hearts.
Respectfully,
' " W. W. MYERS,
(The above communication is pub
lished so that there shall be no ap
pearance of trying to deprive anybody
of any credit for the plan adopted by
the city and county authorities. The
aim of many level-headed men inter
ested in keeping the peace in this
community has been, throughout this
affair, to remove all appearance of
persecution, upon which agitation
such as is offered by soap box ora
tors thrives. As a matter of accuracy
however, the idea later adopted was
first suggested by Chief of Police Ed
Shaw, who went to Mr. U'Ren and
asked his opinion of it before broach
ing it to anybody else. Following
this, Chief Shaw spoke to the mayor
about it, a conference of officials and
others was called, and knowing that
Mr. U'Ren had already been discuss
ing the matter, the courtesy was ex
tended to him of being present at the
conference if he so desired.)

front-row or box seats. Later, when
the group explained that they were
not thinking of seeing the show,
Councilman Long offered, for old
times' sake, to "deadhead ' the bunch
in; but this also failed to meet with
councilmanic approval.
Mr. Long was finally prevailed upon
the leave the profits of the box office
in charge of an assistant, and was
rushed back to the council chamber,
where the ordinance appropriating
$300 for drilling was put over. In the
excitement that followed Mir. Long re
turned to the box-office, and the
council was again minus a quorum.
More informal discussion of the mat
ter of pure water followed, and then
no other signs of a quorum appearing
' the meeting came to an end. Just to
punish Mr. Long for his defection, the
councilmen then went down to his
show-shop, deadheaded themselves
through the door, and saw tthe show.
Saturday the special water commit
tee of the council will go out and look
over sites where it is believed water
can be struck, and will select one for
the test. Considerable care will be
taken in looking over the ground,
J. and no drilling will be attempted un
i less there is expert opinion offered
that water exists underneath, and un
i less most favorable terms or potions
! are given the city.
AWAITS VETERANS
To meet the demand for an accur
ate map of Gettysburg and vicinity
during the great memorial celebration
whica will be held at that historic
point beginning June 29 50 years af
ter the commencement of the terrific
fight which sealed the fate of the
hitherto sanguine Confederacy the
United States Geological Survey has
combined four of its topographic
sheets and printed a large may. The
map covers about 925 square mil3s,
including the Gettysburg battlefield
and the adjacent portion of Pennsyl;
vania as well as the adjoining portion
of Maryland, and is on the ample
scale of 1 mile to the inch.
All the roads by which Lee brought
his main army in from the West are
shown, and the course pursued by the
Army of the Potomac under Hooker
and later under Meade can be readily
traced. Such familiar bloody fight
ing grounds as Little Round. Top, the
Wheatfield, and the Peach Orchard
are shown in their exact topography
almost as clearly as in a bird's-eye
photograph, as is also the ground over
which Pickett's division of 18,000 men
the flower of the South, made its fam
ous but futile charge.
The map will be delivered postage
free in a mailing tube until July 4,
1913, at 20 cents a copy. Remittances
should be made to the Director, Unit
ed States Geological Survey, Wash
ington, D. C, in cash or money order.

Patrons of the Grand theatre w'io
wondered what was the matter with
the pictures Friday evening are here
by informed that there was nothing
at all out of the way in the perform
ance. The occasional jumping of the
films was caused by the ecstatic
heartbeats of Marion I. Dugger, engi
neer of the "flicker machine" in the
fire-proof box above the entrance, for
in the intermission between the after
noon and evening performances M'r.
Dugger took unto himself a bride.
Justice of the Peace Sievers tied
the knot as securely as long experi
ence has taught him how, and pro
nounced the words that made Miss
Charlotte Yandle Mrs. Dugger. Both
young people are well known here,
and have already been wished the
best of fortune by a large number of
their friends. Manager Schram, of
the theatre, did not know of the hap
py event until after it occurred, and
then his offers to Mr. Dugger of a va
cation were politely refused.
In the evening, when the day's work
was done, there was a quiet jollifica
tion, at which the heary hopes of hap
pines of all were substantially ex
pressed to the newly-weds.

PARSON

Moses Barrows was a well off farmer
living on the outskirts of the village of
Hartsville.
One day as Farmer Barrows sat on
his veranda smoking his pipe a stranger
driving a horse and buggy came along.
Just opposite the house the horse sud
denly halted and refused to go on.
"Seems to be trouble here," said
Moses as he walked down to the gate.
"I should say there was!" exclaimed
the stranger. "Cousarn his pesky hide,
but if you'll lend me an ax I'll cave
his head in."
"Had him long, stranger?" was asked.-
"About three weeks, and this Is the
third time be has balked on me. Say,
now"
"Purty good Iookin' hoss," said Farm
er Barrows after he had looked him
over. "Where'd you get him?"
"Traded with a feller."
"Mebbe we can swop. I've got a
hoss that"'
"Then trot him out I'll trade you
even up for anything with hide and
hoofs."
The exchange was made without
further words, and the stranger drove
off. Farmer Barrows had said that
there was a cause for a horse balking.
It Is generally understood that it is In
his training.
The new owner began to practice a
system of kindness. The horse did not
get a harsh word and was asked to do
only light work. In the course of a
couple of weeks his sullenness had
quite vanished, and he was "hitched to
a buggy to be driven to town. He
took about twenty-eight steps and then
stopped. He expected to hear swear
ing and to feel the whip, but nothing
of the sort followed. He was given a
lump of sugar and patted on the back
as a reward of merit
The next day he was hitched up
again. This time he took. a hundred
steps before balking. No swearing nor
whipping. More sugar and more pet
ting. Farmer Barrows even sung the
first verse of the "Sweet By and By"
Into his left ear. So It went every day
for a week, and the farmer then said
to his wife:
"That boss Is all right now and will
give no more trouble."
"1 hope not"
"I have always contended that kind
ness would do it and here's a plain
case of it I shan't have a mite of trou
ble driving to town and back."
On the road to the village and half a
mile from Farmer Barrows' house the
highway crossed a swamp by a narrow
corduroy road. Only one vehicle could
pass at a time for a distance of forty
rods. The new horse ambled along
as if it were a joy to live until he
reached the middle of the causeway,
and then he stopped as suddenly as If
hit by a bullet
"By thunder!" exclaimed Farmer
Barrows.
He gave the horse live minutes and
then asked him to please go on.
No use.
Then he descended and ga've the ani
mal a lump of sugar and toyed with
bis ear and asked him as a personal
favor to resume his amble. Not a
$300
is About What it Will Cost
resume; not an amore. .
Travelers came, up and stopped at
either end of the blocked highway and
called out: ...
"Say, ' you. what In thunder Is the
matter?"
"Horse has balked on me."
Farmer Barrows used the whip light
ly, apologizing to the horse at the same
time No good. He moved bis coat
and vest spat on his bnnds and was
preparing to give that horse the lick
ing of bis life when the parson of his
church drove up' with:
"Hello. Brother Barrows. What's
the matter?"
"Ifs this infernal horse! He' balked
with me!"
The parson got down and gave the
new horse a looking over and said:
"Brother Barrows, you've got a sulky
at home, haven't you?"
. "Yes."
"Come on back and hitch that horse
to the sulky. I think I know what ails
him."
"Can't I kill him first?"
"No come right along."
"You'll never get him ten feet"
The parson mounted the sulky as if
he had been there before, and the
horse cheerfully started off at a good
trot
A traveler came along with a good
trotter and attempted to pass, but was
left in the dust in great shape. The
parson overtook two or three well
known steppers and beat them to it
handsomely
- "Well, how many times did he balk
on you?" the farmer asked as the rig
came back.
"Brother Barrows, you are a good
man. but you have no eye for horses,"
smiled the parson.
"How do you mean?" - .
"You've been treating this animal as
if he were a plug of a horse and there
by humiliating him."
"But ain't he a plug?"
"My dear brother, he can go a mile
In 2:30 this very day."
"Yon you tnean

Efforts of Portland folk to boost
the strawberry market are not prov
ing over successful, and while some
fancy berries have been forced up to
$1.20 a crate, the price of most of the
crop is remaining at one dollar.
Some poor stock is being unloaded at
85 cents, but all good fruit both for
the table and for home canning, is
holding firmly at one dollar a crate.
Eggs are about half a cent higher
than formerly quoted, which brings
them to 18 and 19 cents. Poultry
men of this section are still selling
most of their output direct to consum
ers or to local stores, and are not con
cerning themselves with Portland
markets.
Local raspberries have appeared ia
a limited quantity in Portland mar
kets, but are sky-high in price. Early
cantaloupes are also in.coming from
the south, and are going at ?5 a
crate.
Green corn is to be had at 50 cents
a dozen. California blackberries are
in the market at $1.59 a crate of 15
pounds. Southern loganberries are
