"Widow "Who Sells Xevrspapers to
Support Herself and Infant Child
Forced From a Scott.
Owning a dwelling and yet dispossessed
by force, was the state of affairs con
fronting airs. Rebecca Robinson, a hard
working woman who makes her living
and supports an infant child by selling
newspapers on the streets. Last even
ing she knew hardly -where to lay her
head. By the strictest economy and har-d
work she sa ed $50 and purchased a scow
et the foot of East Yamhill street from a
man named Mclrwin. Here her troubles
commenced.
There was a tenant in possession of the
scow, J. AV. Puller, who refused to move.
She was forced too to law to secure pos
session of her own property. After the
usual delays incident to grinding out jus
tice, she won the suit brought for forcible
entry and detainer, and Justice of the
Peace Xraemer issued the necessary or
ders to give her legal entry into her own
.little home.
But this was not all. When the scow
was visited j'esterday by Deputy Sheriff
Wagner, installed therein were found an
Indian family, who vigorously asserted
their rights to the premises, declaring
fhat they had paid three months' ad
vance rent to the brother of J. W. Fuller,
the former tenant.
The Indians had the doors locked and
barricaded. "Enter at your peril" was
ithelr resppnse to demands to open the
door, finally Deputy Sheriff Wagner
ibroke the door in with an ax, and started
to eject the inmates. The latter finally
agreed "to give up possession peaceably,
and $rs. BoDinson was left comfortably

But the Indians had used their native
6trategy. The officer gone, they came

and moved out bodily airs. Robinson and
her helpless babe. And they had posses
sion, as before.
When the Indians are next evicted, they
will know it, -as they will be arrested for
trespass. If severe action is not taken,
the case will bound np as often as a rub
ber ball, and the officers be kept busy

TELLS OF EARLY DAYS.
Pioneer of 1S45 Relates How
Aliased a. Bis: Opportunity.
He
.Jonas Davis, an Oregon pioneer of 1S45,
bow residing at Shedds, Linn County, was
in Portland yesterday on business. He
crossed the plains with quite a large train
htit started from Now London, Ia.f in
April, 5 years ago, and reached the spot
where Salem now stands on Christmas
day of. that year. His party drove their
ox teams as far as The Dalles and there
built a, raft of logs, upon which the ani
mals -were taken down to the upper end
of the Cascades. Here the raft was un
loaded and turned adrift, and never v as
eeen since. At the Lower Cascades pas
cage was taken aboard a schooner for
the mouth of the Willamette, and then
the immigrants took to land again. "I
could have taken up a donation claim one
mile square where Portland stands now
ir I could 3mve foreseen what was com
ing," ho said, ""but who would have
thought at that time that a big city would
Te built here within the next half cen
tury?" Mr. Davis has hair-raising tales to tell
of Indian attacks both on the way out
here and lafter he had settled in the Wil
lamette "Valley, He served all through the
Cayuse "War, and also took a band in the
Indian -wars of 2S56. Be now owns 220
ceres of fertile land in XInn County, and
is also landlord of a hotel in the small
iut rapidly growing town of Shedds.
In his SO years of farming in the Willam
ette, Mr, Davis has never seen so light a
crop of wheat as this year, and he thinks
he will hardly realize his taxes out of his
chare of the crop. He is a. great be
liever in Pall sowing, and has already
50 acres of wheat coming up well on his
farm. He has found that continued rains

AT THE CHILDREN'S HOME.
Old Friends and New Charmed Wlta
the Reception.
That the Children's Home still retains
the warm place it has so long held in
the hearts of the women of Portland Is
shown by the large attendance at the re
ception held at that institution yesterday
afternoon from 3 to 5 'o'clock. The object
of this reception was to bring together
the patrons of the home ana give them an
opportunity to inspect the" condition and
working thereof; to see how happy and
contented and well cared for their little
charges are, and incidentally to enjoy
each other's society collectively for a sea
son. Nearly all the old and tried friends
of the Institution were present, and some
comparatively new .ones, in the persons
of their children and others, and they col
lectively formed a fine representation of
the noblest and best and most charitable
and kind-hearted women of the city. The
whole building was thrown open to in
spection, and was viewed In detail by
most of the visitors, from the neat, cljan
kitchen and dining-room to the playroom
in the attic. The piles of crusty loaves,
some of them made by the little girls of
the home; the storeroom, well stocked
with fruits of all kinds; the roomy linen
closets, the separate playrpomB for the
girls and the airy dormitories', with their
neat and scrupulously clean little beds,
with iron frames, woven-wire and well
filled, comfortable mattresses, with snowy
counterpanes, carefully tucked In, and
some 50 healthv, happy children, under
charge of the efficient matron, Mrs. Kath
erine Ward, formed a sight highly pleas
ing to all, and giving evidence of the
labor, time and money expended by the
patrons of the institution in providing for
the little ,ones. What women generally
would designate a charming tea was
served in one of the rooms for the re
freshment of visitors, and all present
spent a very enjoyable time.
RUimiNG-A 3000-FOOT TUNNEL
Big: Undertaking: for the
Group of Alines.
Grayson
Colonel John T. Grayson, of New York,
a well-known mining man, who is stay
ing at the Portland, has arranged to run
a 3000-foot tunnel to tap his group of
mines in Baker County. These quartz
mines, of which the Gold Bug is a prom
inent one, are situated in Cable Cove, a
few miles from Sumpter, and this tunnel
will tap all the veins, some at a deptu
of .2300 feet below the surface.
Colonel Grayson has had long experience
in California quartz mines, and is known
as a successful operator, but he thinks
the Eastern Oregon mines will prov
richer and more permanent than those of
any district in the Golden state.
This long tunnel, of which 160 feet has
already been dug, will be large enough
to operate a mule tramway in, and will
take 18 months to construct. Some 40
men are now in his employ on day and
night shifts, and no Interruption on ac
count of weather is expected, as ample
provision has been made to house the
crew completely, no matter bow deep the
snow falls.
Cross-cuts and drifts will be made at
various points in the tunnel, where pay
ore is struck, and the miners will thus
be enabled to pay the expense of de
velopment. Where timbering is resorted
to, the cost of tunneling will be $16 per
foot. These mines, "When this tunnel
reaches the farthest end of the Grayson
properties, will be the best-developed of
any in Eastern Oregon.

Receiving: Unearned Congrratalatlons
John L. Wells, of Grand avenue, has
been busy receiving congratulations on
his supposed marriage some weeks ago.
Among the marriage licenses were the
names of J. L. Wells, aged 20 years, and
a coy maiden of about the same age, and
the friends of the former Jumped at the
conclusion it was he who had-committed
matrimony, but he insists that he is not
the JI L. Wells mentioned in the licenses,
but another. He says, however, that he
is doing the best he can, and will not fall
to admit the fact if he succeeds.

ARGUED FOR A NEW TRIAL
MURDERER. WARRE3S" NOT ADVISED
OF STATE'S WITNESS.
His Counsel Assert That, on This Ac-
coant, They Conld Not Combat
tke Testimony.
Amotion for a new trial In the case of
James L.-Warren, convicted of the mur
der of William Kirk, was argUed before
Judge George yesterday by Henry St.
Rayner and A. B. Clark, his attorneys.
It was opposed by the District-Attorney
and -the court- took the matter under
advisement.
Mr. ,Clark stated that it is the duty of
the prosecutor, to place the names of all
of his witnesses, that he is aware of, on
thep indiotment, which was not done, and
ther defense was met by an array of wit
nesses of whom they had.no notice, and
was taken by surprise. The attorney said
a man should never be placed on trial
unless he has had time to examine into
the facts which the state claims extet.
The counsel .also objected to the prose
cution adopting the theory at the close
of the trial that the beating of the
mate occurred before 8 o'clock in the
evening, and" asserted that the evidence
of Dr. Wheeler indicated that the blows
were struck after that time. The evi
dence of Dr. Wheeler was that the mate
must have been put, to bed and the testi
mony of Byrne, the watchman, was that
the mate was lying on the lounge at 10
o'clock, with his shoes on, and the shoes
were afterward taken off. The attorney
referred to the fact that one of the
sailors, John Lhoston, who left here on a
ship bound for England, testified at the
Coroner's Inquest that he saw the mate
on the starboard side of the main deck at
10 o'clock at night. Counsel said if they
had known the state would contend that
the mate was Injured before 8. o'clock
they would have endeavored to procure
this testimony, and asked why the Dis
trict Attorney did not have this man here
as a witness. Alleged errors of the court
In allowing certain evidence was com
mented on, and the attorney reviewed
other parts of the case quite fully, and
the argument of the Prosecuting Attorney
to the jury was criticised. Counsel also
said the Jury did not do its duty. It was
murder In the first degree or nothing.
District Attorney Chamberlain argued
that time was not a a material Ingredient
in the crime. He said: "Do we have
to disclose to the defendant the theory
on which the case is to be tried?" Con
cerning the sailor Lhoston, the District
Attorney stated: "We could not have
held him, and I. don't know If it would
have made any difference if we "had, be
cause Mr. Byrne, the -watchman, testified
that hq met Lhoston when he came
aboard, and went with him to the fore
castle." Warren, he "said, did not wait
for the Coroner's inquest, but got out of
town the next morning. Link by link
tho chain was forged against him, and
the verdict should stand. Mr. Chamber
lain defended his argument to the jury,
and also maintained that the Jury was
Justified in being merciful and bringing
in a verdict of murder in the second de
gree, . if there was reasonable doubt in
their minds.
Mr. Bayner made a long argument
bringing out many legal points. He went
over nearly all of the testimony and
submitted numerous authorities.
WTIil HAVE A SHORT TRIAL.
Inrry Sullivan for Attempting to
Persuade a Sailor to 'Desert.
The trial of Lawrence M. Sullivan on a
charge of attempting to persuade Henry
A Smith, a seaman on the British ship
Orealla, to desert, was begun In Judge
Sears' court yesterday and will be con
cluded today. The jury selected to try
tho case Is composed of the following
named persons: W. A Alcorn, John L.
Vestal, W. H. Courtney. Franklin P.
Walker, Maurice Harnett, David Cole,
Norman Darling, William Butler, A Mc
Manus, Patricto Holland, William A.
Storey and B. E. Gates. The case for tho
prosecution is being conducted by J.
Couch Flanders, as special counsel, and
A C. Spencer, Deputy District Attorney.
The first witness called was British
Consul James Laldlaw. Mr. Flanders
stated that he desired to account for the
nonproductlon of the shipping articles
by the evidence of the witness, and what
British law requires regarding the cus
tody of the articles. Henry E. JtlcGlnn,
attorney for the defendant, objected to
the testimony and also remarked: "I
don't see how you are going to proceed
very far with this case without producing
the articles which bind that man to the
ship." '
The court permitted the question to be
answered, and Mr. Laldlaw stated that,
according to British law, shipping articles
must be In possession of tho master of
the vessel, or may be turned over to the
Consular-officer "where the ship touches.
They were sent to the captain of the
Orealla, when the vessel cleared at- As
toria. ,
This indictment against Sullivan was
returned during the recent trouble be
tween the shipowners, and agents, and
tho sailors boardlng-houso keepers.
When peace was declared and the dif
ferences between the parties settled, 'for
some reason the case was not dismlssd?

e
as a part of the compromise, and there
fore it has to be tried. Mr. McGinn did
not deem It necessary to make an open
ing, statement to the Jury of what the de
fense would be, if any. The trial began
late in the afternoon and little progress
was made.
"Leniency Was Shown.
ILenlency was' extended in the Criminal
Court yesterday In "the case of F. A
Johnson and'Harry C Smith, indicted for
burglary in entering the house of Mrs.
S. L. Brown. They were released on their
own recognizance pending good behavior,
after receiving some fatherly advice from
Judge George. District Attorney Chninber
laln stated to the court that on account
of the youth of the,dofendants, their good
connections and sonie other facts which
were before "him, he had decided to give
them a chance to redeem themselves.
Charles J. Schnabel, attorney, also made
abatement to the court, saying it was
thet first offense of thedefendants; that
the value ofvthe property taken was' in
significant and hp was certain it fvas a
case where justice "would be subserved by
making the. order. He also said that
Mrs. Brown was satisfied. Judge George
said he hoped the experience would be a
lesson to the young men, and that their
conduct In future would be such that It
would not be necessary to bring them
before the court to answer the charge.
His Honor made some further remarks of
the same nature.
Johnson thanked the Judge, and prom
ised to do better, as also did Smith. The
young men were working in the house
when the offense "was committed, and
therefore it was only a case of technical
burglary. They have been in the County
Jail since February. - ,
Divorce Suits.
Judge Clelland yesterday granted a di
vorce to Lillian May Winston from C.--M.
Winston, and she was allowed to resume
her maiden name, Glendennlng. They
were married at Roseburg in ' 1890, and
Mrs. Winston testified that her husband
deserted her in 1892.
A divorce was granted to Phoebe Alder
man from A L. Alderman for desertion.
Testimony was heard In the suit of May
Edwards against Charles Edwards, and
the case was .faken under advisement.

ory, attorney for the Eppersons, stated
that the, District Attorney had admitted
to him In consenting that the young men
