PUSHED INTO RIVER
Startling Story Developed Over
Finding of a Body.
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD LAD THE VICTIM
kittle Frltr Hepfur, Wlio Disappeared
TneMlny, Met "With a Violent
Death Conflicting Statements.
The body of little Fritz Hepfur was
found in the river, below the foot of Da
vis street, yesterday morning, and there
are strong suspicions that the child was
the victim of foul play. There are no
marks of violence on the body, to speak
of, but those conversant with the circum
stances think the boy was pushed, off the
dock by a playmate last Tuesday after
noon. Hugh Brady and Charles Delaney, long
shoremen, who were dragging the river
In search for it. found the body lying on
tho bank in about eight Inches of water,
the face and chest being dry. They were
assisted in their search by Otto Brown, a
13-year-old boy, living at 93 North Sec
ond street, who seemed to know Just
where to look. In fact, if it were not
for this boy's guidance, the remains might
not yet have been discovered, as the place
where the body was found is quite dark.
The child's mother and a woman friend.
Mrs. L. Olsen, 'were also assisting in tha
search, but were not apprised of the dis
covery at the time, as it was feared the
excitement would have been too much for
the mother, who was close to the water's
edge.
An inouest was begun yesterday after
noon to ascertain the cause of death, and
ftfartling evidence developing, the Jury
concluded to adjourn until this morning
at 10 o'clock. In order to give the coroner
time to procure more witnesses.
Young Brown, according to the testi
mony of Patrolman E. J. Wilkenson and
Mrs. Olsen, had told different stories about
the lad's disappearance. To one, he said
a man had told him he siw a big boy push
Fritz backward over the ertg; of the dock.
The man, he said, he did net know,
though ho gave a meager description of
his garb. To another he said a crazy
boy had enticed Fritz to the river and
had returned from the bank without him.
At the Inquest he testified that a large boy
going to Atkinson School told him he
saw a third boy push Frlz over. This
boy. Otto could not name, though he also
goes to the Atkinson School. He prom
ised to hunt him up today.
It was reported to the Coroner that
Otto had told others about having pushed
the lad into the river himself. These
are the persons particularly desired by
the Coroner, and If they exist" their evi
dence will be introduced tnis morning.
The "Brown boy.",, as the witnesses
called Otto yesterday. Is regarded as a
tough one by them, being quarrelsome,
profane and of a high temper. The two
boya had quarreled occasionally, but had
never come to blows.
Young Fritz was 7 years old, and a na
tive of Portland. HLs mother, Lydla

against him, gave the fellow a push, which
sent him and his bicycle sorawllng The
lad picked himself and nls bicycle up, and
said he had a right on the sidewalk. "So
have I," replied the man; "and if any one
has .to get out of the way, you are the
one who should."
The -granting to bicyclists of the priv
ilege of riding on the sidewalks wiyiout
any restrictions whatever was an Ill
judged concession on the part of the Coun
cil, .for although bicyclists are numerous
and have their rights, pedestrians are
ten times more numerous, and they also
have rights which should have be?n con
sidered. Though spring has com, and
the streets free from mud, blcycllsu as
a class will continue to use the sidewalks
as long as the law allows them, to the
danger and disgust of thousands.

Sunday AVentlier Brine Out Much
Latent VIcIouhiicsm.
Auditor Gambell yesterday received a
practical Illustration of the workings of
the ordinance granting Dlcyclists the priv
ilege of riding on the sidewalks. He had
gone away down Tenth street, to look
over the situation in regard to the pro
posed bridge between Marshall and North
rup streets, which is causing the Board
of Public Works a lot of trouble, and as
he was standing on the sidewalk talking
to another man he heard the clatter, clut
ter of a bicycle bell behind him. He In
voluntarily stepped to one side, to get out
of the way, but unfortunately stepped to
the wrong side, and was struck squarely
by a bicycle and thrown about 10 feet,
landing in a heap. Fortunately he w.is
not stunned nor seriously injured, al
though his wrist was sprained, Inls elbow
skinned and he was badly bruised and
shaken up. On regaining his feet he j-aw
the bicycle-rider scrambling out of the
gutter, evidently the worse of th encoun
ter, but before he could see who it was,
the scorcher had mounted his bicycle and
was getting out of sight as rapidly a3
possible. Mr. Gambell says there i3 nc
necessity for bicyclists riding on lis side
walk there, for the street is smooth and
dry.
While decent, sensible peopls In large
numbers ride daily on the sidewalks with
out running over anybody, thre are a lot
of half-grown lads, many of them messen
ger boys, who make themselves a terror
and nuisance to pedestrians. It is an
every-day occurrence to see fhoa hood
lums ride up behind women on Wr.shtnc
ton and other streets, and ring their bells
for the women to get out of their way. A
messenger boy was seen a. few days ago
to ride up purposely tjenlnl a girl who
was crossing Washington s-vo, and lean
forward and give a shrill wilstle close to
her ear, badly scaring Ii.t. while th"
hoodum rode off, please I with his imart
ness. Another of these young ruffians
only yesterday rode 3own Washington
street close to the curb, an i In passing a
Chinaman who was on the sidewalk seized
him by the queue and jerked him out Into
the street.
The hoodlums do not always escape o
easily, A few days ago one of them came
up behind a man who was on die iidc
walk and rang his bjh violently, and
whistled-shrilly to scare the "man and see
him jump. He turned sulden.y, and cs

With three such officers as Captain Bul

Company E has every assurance of main
taining a high standard for drilling and
general efficiency.
Several noncommissioned officers have
been appointed during the week In the
various companies of the First Battalion,
particularly In Company E. Promotions
of officers, changes and recruiting have
made It necessary to add stripes to many
good soldiers, and the examining board
Is kept busy for the time passing on their
qualifications. Recruiting is going on at a
fast rate, as many as six to eight names'
being submitted each battalion headquar
ters night. The remainder of the month
promises to be very busy for Major Jubftz
and Adjutant Mears. Besides -at least one
battalion drill, there will likely be the
big military funeral of the Second Oregon
dead, expected soon, and several other
matters demanding the attention of the
battalion. Practice on the rifle range Is
creatingconslderable Interest yet. and each
night for practice of one of the com
panies the battery or Naval Battalion
finds eager soldiers striving to destroy
the elusive bullseye. There Is growing life
around the Armory, larger numbers be
ing found there every evening, and more
interest being manifested by the public In
drills and practice. As soon as the two
prospective companies are completed, regi
mental organization will be taken up, and
the Armory will become an object of great
attraction.
