A. DIVORCE CASE.
Womnn From Arlington Tells of Pis
tols and Razors Sows of the
Several Departments.
Testimony In the contested divorce suit
-of Maggie Hawson against Sidney Hawson
was heard by Judge Cleland yesterday
afternoon, and the trial will be resumed
this morning.
The parties have been residing at Arling
ton since 1891, where the defendant is the
manager of the warehouse of ex-Governor
Moody. He was also a member of the
legislature, and Is well known in Gilliam
county. Wilson & Jayne, attornejs at
The Dalles, appear for Hawson, and S. A.
GurJey, of Arlington, and Carey & Mays
represent the plaintiff as counsel. Quite
a number of the residents of Arlington
are in attendance as witnesses.
Mrs. Hawson testified to numerous acts
of cruelty on the part of her husband, in
which a. razor and a revolver figured. She
also accused him of drinking.
The case for the defendant has not yet
been reached; but, according to the open
ing statement by his counsel, the plaintilt
Is charred with infidelity and F. T. Hurl
burt, cashier of the First National bank,
at Arlington, is named as co-respondent.
It was stated that he boarded and roomed
at the house, beginning In 1892, being intro
duced there by the husband, who was his
friend, audi that he took undue liberties
with the plaintiff, among other things
camping out one summer with her at
Bingham springs, although there was an
other young woman in the party, who at
present is teaching music in Portland,
fine, however, it was asserted, did not
occupy the same lent With Mrs. Hawson,
so the evidence, it was alleged, would
disclose. The plaintiff, of course, posi
tively denies all of these accusations, and
asks the court to award her the legal cus
tody of the two children.
Mrs. Hawson testified that she has re
sided IS j ears in Oregon, and was married
to defendant nine years ago. His ill
treatment of her, she said, began about
Ave years ago, when he contracted the
habit of drinking to exoess. They wera
married but two weeks when he came
home "full." She owned the property
"where they lived, and since their separa
tion in September, 1S9S, worked at her
trade of dressmaking. She stated that
the defendant came homo in the year 193
for supper, at 8 o'clock, and she was pro
voked because he was so late and took
him to task about it. He procured a re
volver, she says, and held it to her head,
and threatened to kill her and to take his
own life. In the year 1895 witness said he
tore the shades fiom the windows while in
a tantrum.
The principal occurrence related by Mrs.
Hawson was concerning an assault made
upon her by her husband with a razor.
He came home, so she says, "with a jag
on. ' and saldhe was going to Portland.
She signified her Intention of leaving him,
and he followed her into the yard with a
razor. Mrs. Lund gave a warning cry.
The plaintiff said she struggled with her
husband as she got back info the housa.
She had her child in her arms. He threw
her on the bed, and she held on to the
wrist of the hand in which he held the
razor. Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Canty and Mr.
Rocers were called in and took the razor
away from him. Mr. Hawkins and Mrs
Iund were called to corroborate this evi
dence. Mis Hawson further testified to
goinc to a. saloon frequently to make her
husband come homeland once she saw
Slim playing cards.
STEVENS OX TRIAI
Confessed to Cutting: a Tliroat, But
Pleads Aot Guilty.
T. M. Stevens, who confessed in the
grand jury room that he, and not A. Ann
derson, cut Fred Holmes' throat, was pn
trial in the criminal court yesterday, hav
ing changed his mind about pleading
guilty. The trial will be concluded this
morning. The only point disputed by the
defendant was regarding the circum
stances under which the cutting was done.
The grand jurors testified that Stevens'
statement to them was that he was first
struck by Holmes, and Anderson Inter-f
fered in his behalf. While Anderson and
Holmes were struggling he slipped up be
hind Holmes and inflicted the wound. Ste
vens now desires to 6how more provocation
for the deed, and denies -that he was be
hind Holmes when the cutting was done.
He testified that as he approached Holmes
and Anderson when they were fighting.
Holmes turned and struck at him, and he
retaliated with the knife. Holmes was
present at the trial1, and he exhibited the
scar on his neck, disclosing that he had a
very narrow escape.
He testified that he did not see Stevens
when he was cut, and did not even feel
the knife, the work was so quickly done.
They had all been drinking and quarreled.
He admitted having struck both Anderson
and Stevens.
Suit for Commission.
The suit of J. H. Buckler against
Frances Miller to recover $55 commissions
for finding a purchaser tor the defendant
for a lodging-house at the corner of Fifth
and Yamhill streets, was tried yesterday
In Judge Sears' court, and the jury re
turned a verdict in favor of the defendant.
The price was SG50. The defense of Mrs.
Miller was that the terms of the sale were
not satisfactory to her and she did not
agree to them.

Testimony in Klernan Suft.
The suit of John Kiernan, trustee,
against a number of stockholders of the
Portland smelting and refining works,' oc
cupied the time in Judge Cleland's court
yesterday morning; and was continued un
til Saturday for .further testimony. T.
Patterson, one pf the defendants, gave
his opmIonras to why the concern did
not pay. He also testified that the real
property sold for $9500 was worth $30,000
at the time of the sale, and the personal
property sold for $50 was worth $2006.
John Klernan, the plaintiff, upon the
point of the works being an unprofitable
Investment, stated that it was a question
of chemistry, and they made a mistake
and did not come out as nvell as they
thought they would.
Mr. Patterson said, all other smelters
had paid, and Were -paying, arid that he
understood the Tacoma smelter was earn
ing $100,000 a year. All other smelters are
doing well, and did at that time. The
purpose of this testimony was to show
that the property was mismanaged, and
could have been made to pay. Among
other things, Mr. Patterson said they had
a man out buying ore and "shipping it
here who didn't know the difference be
tween rock and gold.
Mr. Patterson w as subjected to a lengthy
and rigid cross-examination by Mr. Cox,
and at one point was asked why, on two
former trials of.cases Involving these mat
ters, he had not told circumstances that
he now narrated. To this Mr. Patterson
said he preferred not to answer, as it
might reflect a. little on the legal profes
sion. Mr Cox said he guessed the pro
fession could stand it, and wanted to
know. Mr. Patterson then replied that
he was advised by his attorneys not to
disclose these facts or to show a letter that
he had Just read written to a committee

Multnomah Addition Hold-Un Is Still
h , n Mystery.'
No new developments have come to light
on the hold-up perpetratedin Multnomah
addition Monday evening, though the po
lice have been following the matter up
ever since. J. B. Farr, the third man in
the attacking crowd, was held in the
city jail until yesterday afternoon, when
he was formally charged with assault with
Intent to rob, but the prosecution had
nothing further to offer than the fact of
hla being present when the two men at
tempted to hold up John Hughes, who
fired at them and. put them to flight. '
Rev. Levi D. Barr, pastor of the Friends
church, at Newberg, waa on hand to testi
fy to the previous good character of Farr,
who is a brother-in-law of the reverend
gentleman. He had known Farr for sev
eral years, and could testify to his being
a hardworking young man of 22, who lived
with his parents and paid his board with
his earnings Mr. Barr also said he was
very sure Farr had no hand in the hold
up, but was simply walking along behind
the would-be robbera when they stopped
Hughes. During the exchange of shots,

Farr was so frightened that he did not
know whether to run or stand still, and
when it was all over Hughes covered
him with his pistol and told him if he
moved he would be a dead man. Farr,
therefore, did not move, and afterwards
accompanied Hughes until an officer was
met and took charge of him. x
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Paddock
states that he would be able to prove
that Farr came along In company with
the other two men, and when these were

but Hughes stopped him with the com

Farr was finally admitted to bail in the

IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION
Bridgre Across tlie Jiandy Saved Just
in Time.
The county bridge across the Sandy, near
the pipe line br.dge of the Portland water
committee, which has T)een In a perilous
condition tor several days, has baen made
secure, and la now open tq travel.
Last Saturday, is Mr. Maupln, pipe-line
Inspector, was driving across tn's bridge
and looking down on the raging torrent 40
feet below, and watching the vast amount
o drift going down, his horse, on near
lng the west end of the bridge, gave a
tremendous spring, throwing Mr. Maupin
over the tailboard of the wagon. On ex
amination, it ias found that the bank
had caved down, so that only two feet of
the bridge was resting- on the ground. The
intelligent horse, which waa familiar with.
the bridge from frequently crossing it, t
had noticed that there was danger, and
took the only way he knew to reach a
place of safety.
Mr. Maupln was badly scared when he
saw the condition of the bridge, and as he
drove up the winding road to the top of
the Sandy bluff, he decided to barricade
the road, to prevent any one from going
down to the bridge.
"While he was rolling logs and brush into
the Toad, a farm wagon with a whole
family on board came along, and wanted
to know what he was blocking the road
for. Mr. Maupln explained the situation,
and told how scared he had been. The
women In the wagon remarked that It
was a wonder that the fright had not
turned his hair white. Mr. Maupln re
moved his hat to show the effects 6f his
fright, and one of the children In the
wagon exclaimed: ""Why, ma, It scared
every hair oft his head!"
Word of the mishap to the bridge wa
telephoned to the commissioners of Clack
amas county, and Commissioner R- Scott
and orie of the other commissioners at
once proceeded to the Sandy, and, after
iaking in the situation, employed the Pa
c'flc Bridge Company to save the bridge.
Men were sent out, and the water com
mittee afforded every possible assistance
by furnishing tools, gear, a tent and by
putting up a telephone at the bridge.
Two trees were cut and the trunks
hauled by means of a stump-puller to the
bridge. These timbers, 100 feet lone: and
three feet in diameter at the butt, were
placed one oh each side of the end of
the bridge, and by the aid of cables and
chains; the bridge was fixed up so as to
prevent any danger of its falling. Last
evening the workmen loaded their 'ools,
etc., on a wagon and drove across the
br'dge to Bull Run, and the bridge is safe
for. ordinary travel. In the spring the
Clackamas county commissioners will
place Iron cylinders filled with concrete
under the end of the bridge, and these the
freshets In the river will not affect.

STILL IS PROSECUTING.
Food Commissioner- Bnllcy Has An
other "Process" Butter Case.
State Food Commissioner J. W. Bailey
has another "process butter" case on
hand, this time in Justice Kraemer's court.
Armour & Co. are defendants, and Mr.
Bailey alleges that he purchased half a
case, or 15 ooi.nds, of the stuff from the
Portland house, and ubmitted It to the
state chemist, who pronounced It not
only "process," but that It Is adulterated
with water, more than 14 per cent being
aquo pura, which weighs, but contains
no butter fat.
The Portland house, through Its attor
ney, asked for a continuance of the caee
until the head offlc& could be heard from,
and so the matter was put off until to
morrow nornlng.
Mr. Bailey says he begins to realize that
his office is not one of unmixed blessings,
as he is obliged to prosecute reputable
citizens for v'olation of the pure-food
law, and as these violations are of suxh
long standing that the perpetrators them
selves do not realize that they are doing
an thing wrong In placing bogus food on
the market. Then the defendants fel that
they are persecuted. The small grocers
who handle such stuff say. "Why don't
you put the b g fellows through. We
buy this stuff from them, and suppose it
to be genuine," and the wholesalers are
by no means backward, in denouncing him
as ovfr-offlcious in the matter
"Men I have known for years to bo
reputable merchants persist in putting bo-
gus stuff right under my nose, and what
other course is there for me to pursuo
but to prosecute? The pure-food laws
were enacted to protect the Innocent pub
lic from adulterated foods, and I propose
to continue the war on bad butter and
bogus Jellies until the stuff is driven out
of the Portland markets. The adulterated
articles hae not even the merit of home
production to recommend them, as tho
process butter comes from IUtnots and
Iowa, while the poisonous jell es are put
up at Davenport, la., Kansas City and
Omaha. The stuff comes to Portland by
the carload, and no home in the North
west is free from. It.
"The butter In this last case looks lika
the beat creamery, so perfect has teen
its manipulation, and even experts have
told me I was barking up the wrong treo
Mn the matter, but I have-the certificate of
the state chemist as to its composition.
while the price I paid Armour & Co. for
It 13 cents a pound-nshows on its faca
that it must be bogus."
