Portland, March, 2o. Oregonl-
an: At tbe borne 01 C Lx. bantess
bod, Hillsdale, Monday night, short
ly after 8 o'clock, a. desperate strug
gle took place between a masked
and heavily armed robber, Mr. and
Mrs. Sanlesson and Miss Agnes
Santesson. The murderous crim
inal demanding the money of the
household, entered with leveled re
volver. Instead of making com
pliance with his request, the man
of the house attacked him, precipi
tating a battle in which two shots
were fired, and the entire family
was felled and left lying on the
floor, after'which the bandit escap
The bravery of Mrs. Santesson
and Miss Agnese, the daughter,
was remarkable. They in turn at
tacked . the murderous thug, who
fired twice and had a heavy revolv
er in his hand and made attempts
to kill the entire familv.
The net result of ' the fight ' fol
lows:
Mr. Santessen, shot in forehead,
scalp wound and badly bruised by
blows. '.. . '-',.. .
Mrs. Santesseni beaten "into in
sensibility by " the robber who
struck her over the head several
times with the butt end of his re
vol ver, breaking the barrel of the
weapon. :: " -
Miss Agnes Smtessen, felled to
the,floor by a blow from the thug's
revolver. '..-..
The robber flees from the scene
leaving father, mother and daugh
a tit- ring by the. front; door, the!
tracked and armed robber found
the family seated. lie was cool
aad collected and stood facing
them, leveling his revolver at their
heads. ,1- . .... '- . - ; ;
' ''I want your money," he said.
"I want it quick, too." -? : .
Without making a reply in words,
Mr. Santesson, ;who is auite well
along in years but possessed of suf-
iiciect nerve and strength to put
up. a hard fight, leaped at the
matked man. He Btrock the robber
in the face and attempted to clinch
with him, but jumped aside to es
cape a bullet fired by the desperado.
Backing off, . hardly knowing
what action to take, tha robber
glowered at Mrs. and Miss Santes
sen for a moment. Seeing her fath
er on the Boor, Miss Agnes Santea
sen excitedly made & rash toward
the man with the weapon, and her
father got up just in time to knock
her to one side as a second bullet
from the revolver was fired She
was saved from barm, but Mr. San
tessen was struck in the forehead,
the bullet glancing and inflicting a
scalp wound. He" was stunned;
however, and fell to the floor.
Then Mrs. Santessen boldly
rushed toward the robber. She
made an attempt to strike him with
her fists, but h9 laid hold of the
barrel of his revolver and struck
her repeatedly with the butt end,
beating her to the floor and finally
breaking off the barrel of his weap
on. . ;: "
Viewing the three victims lying
about and evidently fearing-assist-ance
would reach the family from
outside, the foiled desperado turn
ed and fled. He had been thorough-'
ly beaten in his attempt at robbery,
had nearly killed the - family and
had lost his. weapon. ,:
It was not long before Mr. and
Mrs. Santesson and Miss Agnes re
covered sufficiently to get,; up and
call for help. A physician was
summoned and the wounds of the
injured attended. Fortunately none
of the family ,was seriously hurt.
Mr. Santesson's scalp wound was
not bad. Mrs. Santesson is not ex
pected to suffer any serious results
and Miss Agnes was 'quite recover
ed by morning. '

porate limits of Portland, but E H.

witnessed outside the London banks,
where the new issue of the Japan

At the eame hour an entirely dif
ferent scene was : presented on the
St. Petersburg bourse. A -semi-panic
prevailed and the bottom

at 85-J, a net loss of a point during

also felt the downward tendency
and only the united 'efforts of the
larger financiers and government

is understood that Delcasse express

that there is a certain cliaue or
combination of a bipartisan charac-
ter, wbicn has arrogated to itself
the right t. arranee nromotions.
and that this arrangement original- :
ed while Binger Hermann was land -
commissioner.. No one, it is said, -who
does not wear the stamp of ap
proval of this combine has been
able to progress.. ,
Another charge is .that Chief
Clerk J. T. Macey, a New Yorker, '
has been using the clerical force in
preparing political . speeches for
Congressmen. .Macey admits that
considerable "politicar correspond
ence'' has been handled hy him, bat
denies that he ever prepared polit-
ical speeches, using the office foroe. -

Warsaw, March 26. According
to latest information, the attack on
Baron von Nolken was the result of
an elaborate conspiracy of the rev
olutionary party. Shortly, before 8
o'clock tonight an elegantly-dreBS-ed
man went to the police station"
at Praga, a large euburbof Warsaw;
on the other eide of tbe .Vistula,
and threw a bomb into the court
yard of the station, wounding seven
persons, two of them dangerously.
The man started to rah away but
waB caught by the aaptain V ol. the
pslice. He was found to be "a Jew,
but his identity has not been discovered.-
- "
A telephone message was ! imme
diately sent to Baron vort Nolken
at "e City Hall;' informing him of
the outrage. Baron von: Nolken,
accompanied , by a police official,
took a carriagf" and started imme
diately for Praga
When passing.

Meantime- the police ' officialvSc

and tore himBelf rway.- Another.
policeman - fired twice after him
without result. Half an hour later
a man, whom the police believe "to
be the bomb thrower, was found
dead in Sowia street. The police
think the man shot himself to es
cape arrest. -.y --' ..:
A girl, who was passing the spot
when the bomb was thrown,' was
wounded by splinters, and was tak
en to the hospital. - . . . " '
According to the theory of the
police, the revolutionists calculated
upoa Baron von Nolken going to
Praga on learning of the explosion
of the bomb at the station there, and
knew he must pass the castle, that
being the only road by which he
could reach the only bridge , across
the Vistula.
The affair caused great excite
ment. A popular rumor says the
revolutionaries adopted this course
of informing the police that they
have more bombs besides those dis
covered in the Powonski cemetery
