Newspaper Page TextTHE MOBNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF AmsseBfiBti TonlgHt. CORDRATB THKA.TBR "Vo 3feoh Johnson." XARQOUC aRAKs'Wea Bask." Feb. 22. Wiu, Txis Cat Oom Back? Yesterday afternoon & little, etdoriy man, under the influence of Donor, while la the store of Jatalley Bros., on Third street, took, seized and carried away a large, yellow, brindle cat, with an abbreviated caudal appendix. The man lives on a scow below town, and wished the cat to be a companion In his lonely home. The porter at the store was notified by the neighbors that the man was carrying away the cat, and ran after bira and overtook him at Burnside street. He seised the eat with one hand and the thief with the other. The latter held on to the cat with both hands, and there would have been a lively struggle for posses sion of the animal, but when It took part in the struggle with claws and teeth, neither could let go quick enough, and the disgusted cat leaped into the air. describing a trajectory curve which looked like a yellow brindled rainbow, and when it struck toe earth it scooted up Burnstde street, with all the dogs in the neighbor hood after it. The scowntan seemed to think he had been abused In the affair he had Incidentally been thrown down on the muddy pavement and run over), and he taunted the porter who had caught him, saying: "You caught me, but you can't catch the cat." And when the hunt for the cat Instituted by several hundred boys had been abandoned, and Messrs. Malley were returning disconsolate to their store, the scowman from down the street yelled back, "Did you get your cat?" Bets as to whether the cat will or will not come back are even. Rkachbd by Bqcitt. In the matter of Improving Qrand avenue, from Bast Clay street to the line of the Southern Pacific railroad track, the conclusion reached by the street committee is generally constd ered a very proper one. The street has been worn out by the excessive traffic from Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s mills, and the property-owners were opposed to im proving It. The council was asked to ap propriate HW out of the general fund to put the street In order. As it Is neces sary that the street should be Improved, and It did not appear just that the burden should fall entirely on the pi operty-own-ers, It was decided that, if the property owners would petition for the Improve ment of the street with stone blocks, the only thing that can make a permanent Improvement which can withstand the heavy traffic, and Inman, Poulsen & Co. and Ban-ord Sc Co., the slabwood dealers, would assist In defraying the cost, the city would contribute JBM out of the gen eral fund to assist In securing the Im provement. This Is considered an equita ble manner of distributing the cost of the improvement among all concerned, and ap pears to meet the case, and will furnish a precedent in similar oases which are constantly coming up. 1bctum on Axt Histort. The open ing night for the exhibition by the Port land Art Association of the Rembrandt photographs, previously announced for next Thursday, will be postponed for about six weeks. This is done, among othei reasons. In order to offer the full facility of the lecture-room and picture frames to the art classes and the public for the il lustration of a series of lectures upon the History il the Art of Northern Europe," which is to be given by Miss Julia Os good. Miss Osgood is a well-known teach er and lecturer upon the history of art, who is often heard is Boston and New York, and more recently In the "West. She has just completed engagements in Den tr, and is in this city by invitation of the art class, for the series of lectures above named, and which will include careful studies and characterizations of Durer, Holbein, Rembrandt, Rubens and others. The illustrating space of the lecture-room will be used in connection with the lec tures, and the successive exhibits will be open to the public on the usual days. The lectures of Miss OSttSsd begin oh Friday, March t, 'and will be more fully an nounced later. Discussed tux Coming Blbction.

The amount of Install ments due on this, the fifth annual assess ment. Is SM.SM 7X, and the interest due on de'inquent Installments amounts to $1211 CI. The ordinance is a voluminous document, containing 76 pages, type-written, of the sis of an ordinary record book, each page containing from 46 to SO descriptions of property. The computing of interest due has involved much work, as on delinquent nnsrfenrnnntr previous to October, UK, interest; is charged at S per cent, but, ac the law was changed at that t!m, the interest since has been only 6 per cent.

Docks Returned to Thbib, "Wheat. Quite a number of sportsmen who under stand the manners and customs of wild fowl went duck-hunting Sunday, and met with very fair success. There has been no good duck-shooting in this section for some time, the ducks having tired of being fed on wheat, and scattered abroad up the Valley, where they found food more to their taste In the creeks and grain fields. The cold snap and the slight fall of snow which lasted a day or two made such food scarce, and gave the ducks "cold feet," and they came flying back to the feeding-troughs and their diet of wheat. Those who surmised that this would be the case went hunting Sunday and enjoyed fine sport. One of the hunt ers brought home a very fine specimen of the spoonbill duck, a male, the plumage of which is so handsome that is is to be mounted by a taxidermist. It scarcely comes up to a mallard or wood duck In beauty, but the plumage is still very handsome. Potato Men in Luck. During the two or three days of "cold weather," -when the thermometer really dropped below the freezing point, farmers quit hauling pota toes to town, and the commission men re- THE LATE "JACK" HOLM AN. HMHBBBHHBBBBaBBHmaWBMjmBjBjmEsqaaQB John "Warren Holman, who died in this city Sunday morning, was an old resident of Port land, having been ln business here many yeara. He was born In Brooklyn, N. Y., In 1848, and came to Oregon ln 1663, ln company with Mb mother, three brothers and. a sister. In 1873 he became head of the firm of Holman & Co., forwarders, and he was still lntereated ln the business when death summoned him from the cares of life. In his youthful days, Mr. HoN man was an active member of the volunteer fire department of this city, and he was at one time assistant chief engineer. treated into their stores and pulled their wares ln off the sidewalks after them. Front street therefore presented rather a quiet appearance while the frost lasted. Yesterday morning, however, the proces sion of farmers with loads of potatoes began to arrive, and the street began to look" natural again, with the sidewalks blockaded with oranges, apples, sweet po tatoes, bananas, etc A dealer says the amount of potatoes brought to this mar ket this season is something enormous, and, as prices have been better than usual, the fanners have received a large amount of money for them. The number of sacks of potatoes that has been shipped from here to San Francisco Is Immense. Last summer It was predicted that the potato crop would be a failure, but a timely rain saved It. Then rains came at the time for digging the potatoes, and it was pre dicted that the crop was ruined, but things came out all right in the end, and there were more potatoes and better prices for them than usual. Fish Scarce and High. Two fine chinook salmon, displayed by a fish dealer yesterday, cost him, he said, 13 cents per pound, whole. After dressing them, if he sold them for 20 cents per pound he said he would make practically nothing. It is easy to see why the laws ln regard to fishing and the prices offered for fish by cold-storage concerns do not please mar ket men. Halibut Is taking the place of salmon, and Is largely sold here now. Some 50 pounds of carp was received here yesterday, the first of the season, and was snapped up by restaurant men and others. The dealer remarked that the day was coming, and was not far off, when the people would not be able to get salmon, and then they would be glad that the carp had been introduced here. Catfish are beginning to come into market, and the fishermen demand 7 cents a pound for them, "skun." The days of plenty and cheap fish, It appears, are gone. Nebd More Rain. Charles McBlrath, manager of the Hotel Perkins, has re turned to Portland after quite an ex tended trip ln California. He says Los Angeles is now harvesting her "tourist crop." the only one which never fails there, and the city is therefore full o strangers. Hotels are crowded, and even lodging-houses are overrun with custom ers. The northern and central portions of the state are enjoying the benefits of mod erate rains, but the southern counties re quire considerable moisture before a crop can be matured. Whether they will get this rain or not Is a question that Is now worrying the farmers, frultralsors and stockmen of tha$ region. Crops are not actually suffering yet, and people are hope fin. Must Sue for His Own Property. Justice Kraemer has decided that a man has no right to take forcible possession of his own property, but must proceed to recover the same by legal means, even if he does find it in another man's posses sion, as ln the case of William Iseenseo, whom P. Kautz sued for damages. Iseen see disposed of two pulleys to some mill men. on credit; the mill men sold them to a third party, who then sold them to Kautz, a logger, at Stevenson, Wash. Iseensee found them In Kautz's posses sion, and, placing his hand on his hip pocket in a threatening manner, walked up and took them away. Justice Kraemer awarded Kautz $60 damages. Against Electroltsis. At the meeting of the water committee this afternoon, and long-talked-of ordinance Intended to pro tect the water mains and gas mains from Injury from electrolysis will probably be brought up. It will be examined, and, If approved, will be forwarded to the council with a request for its passage. The ordi nance will, it is supposed, forbid electric railway companies, electric, light com panies and others using electric wires from connecting ground wires with gas or water pipes, by which some service pipes ln portions of the city have already been de stroyed. Lecture on Cremation. Frank B. Gib son, secretary of the San Francisco Cre mation Company, who is visiting Portland at the request of some prominent citizens. Interested in the establishment of a crem atory here In Portland, will give a lec ture this evening at the Unitarian chapel, corn or of Seventh and Yamhill streets, on the subject, "Cremation, or the Burial of the Dead." The public and all persons interested are cordially Invited to attend. There will be no admission fee. Umbreluis Repairing and recovering. Meredith's. Washington, bet 5th and 6th.

Dr. Wheeler, city physician, yesterday re moved a pistol hall from the breast of John Jacobson, who was shot by his friend. Nealand. early in the morning oi the 16th instant. Jacobson was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital, where the X-rays were applied and the bullet plainly revealed, resting under the collar-bone. An incision was made, and the ball lifted out without trouble, together with about a square inch of cloth the lead had carried in with It. Jacobson will now recover rapt idly, and will be ready to resume his forge at Wolff & Zwicker's within 10 days. He will not prosecute Nealand, whom he still looks upon as a friend, though he thinks the trouble all came about through Nealand's foolishness. Both men are Rus sian Finns. Again Not Spbcific as to Date. Soma boys at the Park school Intend today to revenge the joke played on their sister schoolmates by the principal, D. A. Grout. Last Friday the girls sent a petition to him, asking to be excused at 2:30 Instead of 3:30, their customary time, in order that they might enjoy more of the snow. The principal answered the petition by say ing that nelther-"A. M." nor "P. M." was mentioned, so he would take it that they meant the former, and they didn't get the holiday. Now the boys of a certain class are going to turn the tables on him, and follow his rule, that when neither "A. M." nor "P. M." Is mentioned, to take the former. A good many entertainments are being prepared at the school, and the stage Is always ln demand for rehearsals. In order to avoid any conflicts, the principal writes the name of the class that has en gaged the stage on a bulletin board, and also the time they are to have it. But Professor Grout made an important omis sion by posting a notice for a certain class today from 3:30 to 4, and not following the time with the A. M. or P. M. The boys saw the omission quick enough, and Intend to take advantage of It by at least not going around at 3:30 P. M. Mat Get a Relative's Monet. It seems that Isaac Friedman, who runs a South Portland butcher shop, is destined to be a rich man. A short time ago Julius Fried man, a wealthy citizen of San Francisco, died, but left none of his estate to blood relations, instead bestowing the whole amount Qf his estate, which was estimated at between $750,000 and $800,000, to charita ble Institutions. His reason for doing this is not the cause of any quarrel, for he hardly ever had any dealings or even cor respondence with his relatives, but it was simply on account of eccentricity. When Isaacc Friedman heard of his cousin's death, he began corresponding immediate ly with attorneys in the Bay city, with the result that suit was brought ln the su perior court to set aside the will, and Mr. Friedman was telegraphed to go at once to San Francisco, where he now is. Meager telegraphic dispatches say that the suit has been withdrawn with the permla sion of the court to enter It again any time within a year. This was brought about after a conference by the attorneys for the plaintiff and the executors of the will. While nothing positive has been given out, it Is rumored Mr. Friedman decided to settle the case for $50,000. To Stop a Leak. An embankment be ing thrown up on Front street, all the way from Madison to Jefferson, attracted con siderable attention yesterday, many peo ple thinking the railroad track was to be laid from Pennoyer's mill. The excavation Is being made for the purpose of lowering the 16-Inch -water main for a distance of one block, In order to prevent wagon wheels striking the top of the headgate at Jefferson street. A great deal of heavy hauling is done along Front street, and the wagon wheels resting on the headgate kept the mains leaking at that point. Box Orator. William Gwynn, who has been traveling through the state in the interest of temperance, and who has gained the name "the boy orator," has come to Portland to reside. He has identi fied himself with the Young People's Christian Temperance Union, of the city, and will give an address at its mass meet ing next Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, In the First United Presbyterian church. J. B. Burke, who was lately chosen superintendent of the "million vote" de partment of the organization, will also be Introduced. On the Fourth Span. Work was re sumed on the Madison-street bridge yes terday, and the fourth span Is now com pleted, with the exception of the wood blocking. The bridge is practically free of drift, as the piles of the fourth span have been pulled up, permitting the float ing logs and branches to resume their journey down stream. In two weeks' time, It is thought, the bridge will be finished as far west as the draw. The workers com plained yesterday of a strong down-stream wind, that made things disagreeable. Poor-Farm Fight. A little row at the poor farm has culminated in the arrest of William Kenny, a nurse, for assault and battery on J. P. Strowbridge, assist ant superintendent. The complaint avers that William Kenny "did assault and beat the complainant, who was then and there within striking distance." Kenny was re leased on $10 cash bail, and the case has been set for Thursday, in Justice Krae mer's court. Knights op Pythias' Bali The anni versary ball of the K. of P. last night drew probably the largest crowd of par ticipants ever assembled at the Armory. All the local lodges of the city contributed to Its success, and the event will long be remembered with pleasure by the Knights, their families and friends. Will Lenve tor Xevr Mexico. T. M. Hurlburt, United States inspector of surveys, who has been sojourning at I his home, on Bast Sixth street, for sev- era! weeks, expects soon to receive ordera to resume his work. He will probably go into New Mexico to look after surveys in that district, and will be gone a long time. During his stay he has been en gaged in making up his reports of former work and looking to the rebuldlng of his dwelling. His work takes him to the out-of-the-way and remote districts, and sometimes It la months before his party touches settlements. While the work is novel and new, and strange scenes are constantly encountered, It Is rather lonesome. Mr. Hurlburt tells of some Interesting experiences visiting the aban doned homes of the cllfCdwellers on his former trips. a 0 t WELL KK0WN TO THE POLICE Ex-Convict, Who Is About to Become , An Author. "Judge" George Hayford, who, accord ing to the Denver Post, is "going to write a "book on prison life, after hav.ng volun teered to serve a term In the Oregon pen itentiary," is well known to the police of Portland. One Portland detective will long remember him as being the man who jumped off the train in Idaho, at the risk of breaking his neck, In order to avoid the Oregon penitentiary. On that occa sion, he was being brought from St. Paul to answer seven different charges of for gery in Portland. The .officer recaptured Hayford, at an expense of $100 and a loss of 16 hours' time, and Hayford was afterward sentenced to the penitentiary by Judge George for one year on each of the counts, but as each year ran con currently, the philanthropist was liberat ed after serving 12 months. The manner of his escape from the of ficer showed that Heyford was daring and desperate. It was night. The train had just left a remote station in Idaho when he asked Mr. Ford's permission to visit the toilet. The detective accompanied him to the door, but instead of opening that one, he opened the outer door of the car and Jumped off the platform into the darkness. He had, it is said, for merly been a train man, and understood alighting from swiftly moving trains, so he escaped unhurt. The cars were stopped, and Hayford was trailed through about a foot of snow until Anally overhauled. The police here think this narrative should be Included In the boolc he Is to write on "Prison Abuses and the Sufferings of Men in Stripes." 0 WILL BE ARRESTED. hBnd Boys Are Killing: Robins in the Parks. A number of boys were seen Sunday shooting robins on Park street, near Co lumbia, with air guns, bean shooters and other implements of torture. This prac tice is prohibited by law, and the police are determined to put a stop to the bar- i barous habit some boys have of killing song birds. Heroic treatment will be given those apprehended, and violators of this law need exoect little sympathy in tho police court. One of the chief attractlona of Portland to tourists In the spring and summer is the large number of song birds that abound in the parks and lawns, and there Is a determination on the part of the authorities to protect these from the ma licious miscreants who would kill them. The city law prohibiting the killing of robins Is In city ordinance No. 39S3, section 31, and is as follows: "Any person who shall, within the cor porate limits of the city of Portland, kill any robin, or offer for sale or other dis posal, any robin that has been killed by himself or any other person, whether killed within the city limits or not, shall, upon conviction thereof in the police court, be punished by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $20, or by imprisonment in the city jail, not exceeding 10 days."
