OLDS St KING THOMAS TUCKER'S BONES ttECOVERED KIXE YEATIS AFTER. HIS DISAlTEAltAXCC Found Sear 31111s City and Broneht to Portland, by Georjre "W. Tucli- ir, Ilia Ilrotlter. binder date of March 28, The Oregonlar puDimnea a dispatch Iron Ainany, or., w the following effect: "Word was brought to this city from Mill City that the bones of a man had been found at the head of Rock Creek, which had been Identified as the remains of Thomas Tucker, who had been lost In a snow storm nine years ago. A gun near the bones was the means of Identifica tion." The man whose skeleton was found has a brother residing In this city George W. Tucker, foreman for the Northern Pacific Terminal Company. He left Portland Saturday night, secured the skeleton of his brother and brought It here Wednesday night for burial. Examination revealed the fact that there was a bullet hole through the thigh and another through the shoulder. The bones were found some eight miles distant from the Southern Pa cific tracks. Prior to hlfl disappearance, which oc curred In February, 1891, Thomas Tucker, accompanied by two companions, whose names were not learned, went out on a hunting expedition. Later his companions returned without him. saying that a heavy snow storm came up and they became sep arated from him. They reported that he had probably been lost In the snow. A relief party was organized and a fruitless search was made fo rhlm. His two com panions, for reasons best known to them selves, declined to Join the relief par ty. One of these has since died, and the other Is reported to be somewhere In Europe. When the bones Were found they were identified by the gun found near them, as the dispatch iy and which Thomas Tucker borrowed when he started out on that Ill-starred hunt. His purse, contain ing a JS bill, badly weather-beaten, and a few tarnished coins were discovered with the skeleton. At this late date It Is Impossible to solve the mystery of Thomas Tucker" death. It Is thought that If he was shot by his companions, that the discharge may have been accidental. If they were responsible. It Is possible that they did not report the facts, fearing lest they should be blamed. If Tucker was Intentionally slain by them, which Is not probable, they would have a sufficient reason for concealing the facj. As they declined to assist In the search for him, such action naturally made their conduct at the time suspicious. UNJUST CRITICISM. Police Department Active In Search of Jfeiv lIlRUiTnrnien. John A. Van Groos. the young man shot in tho leg Saturday night at the corner of East Ninth and East Morrison streets by highwaymen, who were endeavoring xo tod mm. writes to The Oregonlan com plaining that no action has been taken by the police regarding tho affair. He says the officers did not act promptly when he first reported the case, and that later, when some young men of the vi cinity who thought they knew the high waymen, telephoned the fact to the po lice, no detective was ent Immediately. Chief McLauchlan says, to the contrary, that every effort possible with his force of olScers and detectives, has been made since the hold-up, to apprehend the hlgh waymer. The Chief asserts positively that within 20 minutes after the hold-up officers were on the ground, when, the neighborhood was thoroughly scoured, but without locating the criminals, and since then every night a special effort has been made to apprehend the men, and that It would be Impossible to do more without n larger force of officers. The Chief says It Is absurd to look for highwaymen nround the same corner where they com mitted one crime on succeeding nights, as It Is not the custom of criminals to go on successive occasions to the same spot for their operations. That the highway men are not confining their work to one place he says Is evident from the work reported on the West Side since.

A horse attached to a Chinese vegetable wagon, while standing on East Tenth and East Ankeny streets, near the sidewalk, yesterday, was frightened by a passing car. The horse was close to the sidewalk facing westward, and when the car came along he dashed onto the sidewalk, pulling the wagon around a shade tree. All the contents of the wagon. Including vege tables, oranges, etc., were dumped out on the sidewalk. The rear wheels caught by the tree and held the horse securely. The animal made a desperate effort to pull loose, and would have pulled the wagon apart, had not an outsider caught and held htm. The Chinaman stood In a help less atUtude unUl he was told to unhitch the horse. He then gathered up the "chow-chow" from the sidewalk and street. There was no serious damage to the outfit. The Incident furnished quite a diversion to the neighborhood. i TO CCUE A COLD IX OJtE DAY. Take Luitlre Brotno Quinine Tablet. All druc Xista refund tn moiwr if it falls to cure K. W.

Professor Charles Dlerke. the well known music teacher, was married Wednesday, and took his bride to the home he had fitted up on Everett street, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second. As It chanced Arthur Eckhardt. an em ploye of the Mclr & Frank Company, was married on the same day to one of the young women employed m the same es tablishment, and they took up their abode In a cottage next door to Mr. and Mrs. Dlerke. So far everything was lovely. It chanced, however, that Mr. Eckhardt and his bride were general favorites with the employes of the Melr & Frank Company, and these employes decided that they must do something to show their respect for the newly married couple, and their approval of the example which had been set. With this object In view, about. M of theso employes marched out to Everett and Twenty-first street late Wednesday even ing, armed with tin pans, saucepans, frying-pans and all sorts of pans, and es pecially with a hot water boiler, for a kitchen stove, which was suspended from a pole and carried on the shoulders of two of trie party, while the others carried hammers to pound It with, their object being to give their friends a charivari. Unfortunately they made a mistake In the location, and wasted their sweetness on the desert air In front of Professor DIerke's house for a time. Finally they were set Tight and turned their batteries on the Eckhardt home; but hod hardly got fairly tuned up when the police patrol which some one In the vsclnltx had tele phoned for came galloping up. and the "musicians" abandoning their Instruments, boiler and all. took to their heels. No one knows exactly who the Joke was on. but those who paid for collecting and re moving the unmusical Instruments con sider themselves as out and Injured. Mnth Ward Candidates. Thus far there has been little talk of Councilman In the Ninth Ward, and the office continues to seek the man. Among the Republicans who have been mentioned are W. T. B. Nicholson.- Alexander Kad derly and John F. Cordray. Mr. Cordray has not made any effort to bring himself out for (be office, nor has be been con sulted as to whether or not he would accept the honor were It offered to him. Ho represents considerable property Inter ests In the ward, however, and a number o! prominent citizens, who have confidence In his ability for business, believe that its Interests will be safe In his bands.
