Discovered Was Insane Over Loss of Money Accompanied -by YonnK Children. uiJl BT. LOUIS, Mo., June 16. A -woman named Mary Soleski, en route from New York to Astoria, with her Wo children, aged 1 and S years, and havlne In her possession cash to the amount of $1500, was taken from "Union Station by two strange men about 7:30 o'clock tonight. She -was to have left for Astoria, Or., where she has relatives, at 8:25. A few minutes before that time the station caller entered the main waiting-room to notify her of the departure of her train. Instead he found the -woman's children seated on a bench and crying pitifully. All they could say -was that mamma, had gone. Inquiry by the station-master developed the fact that the missing woman had left the depot in company of two strangers who had been seen talking to her during the afternoon. Matron Hunter stated that the -woman had 51500 on her person when she disappeared. The police At once advanced the theory that Mrs. Solcskl had been kidnaped, and a force of detectives was put to work on the case. At a late hour Mrs. SoleskI -was found wandering near the river three miles from the station. Her hair was dis heveled, her dress torn and her face J bruised. To the Interrogatories of the po lice the woman made no answer. She talked Incoherently and kept muttering constantly about her money. There was a wild look In her eyes. Her brain was on fire. If kidnaped she had been, the terri ble ordeal had driven the unfortunate woman insane. An ambulance was sum moned and she was conveyed to the city hospital. Her children were aUo sent to that Institution. Efforts to obtain Infor mation from the woman were unavailing. In her purse was about $50. I SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS NAY. Salem Board's Idea of Work of Su perintendent Not Voters'. SAL&M, June 16. Dr. W. H. Byrd was today elected Director of the Salem pub lic schools for a term of five years over J. B. T. Tuthlll by a vpte of 260 to IBS. Dr. Byrd succeeds H. A. Johnson, retir ing chairman of the board. The election -was quiet and a very light vote was polled. Tho annual school meeting was held tonight. The report of the board for the year from March 4, 1901, to June 16, 1902, was presented and adopted. It showed the receipts for tho period to have been $50,G59 73, which was expended with the exception of a balance on hand of $10, 795 75. Some of the principal Items of ex pense were: Superintendent's salary, $1000; principal's salaries, $3710; teachers. $19,213 30; janitors, $2367 50; Interest on bonds, $2490 70; interest on popular loans, $1255 29; Insurance premiums, $1140 27. In surance is carried on the six school build ings of the district to the amount f $52, 200. The total Indebtedness of the dis trict as -shown in the report is $47,550. The board estimates the probable cost of maintaining the schools from July 1, 190i, to June 30, 1903. to be $26,000, the estimate being based on nine months' schooling. After a warm discussion the report was adopted, after eliminating therefrom the estimate of expenses for the City Super intendent and the teachers in conducting the schools for the coming year. Some criticism has been made by a few tax payers of the action of the board in em ploying for the ensuing year a City Su perintendent, who shall have personal pu pervlslon of the city's schools and not have a regular assignment as teacher, as have the superintendents of recent years. The effect of tho meeting in rcTus Ing to Tatlfy this Item of the directors' report Is considered of no consequence, since the directors contend that In elect ing a new Superintendent they have fol lowed the requirements jot the new school law. Tllmon Ford, who Is among those op posed to the employment of an official head of the Salem schools, except 'ho shall teach, tonight said the matter of finally considering the action of the old board would be left to the aewly organized board. Since contracts for the ensuing year have been signed up by the new Su perintendent and teachers, there Is a ques tion if the work of the old board In this relation can be repealed. The meeting -was not largely attended, but the majority of those present were among the city's heaviest taxpayers. . At Astoria. ASTORIA, June 16. An election for School Director was held this afternoon to select a successor to J. E. Hlgglns. whose term has expired.

He exhibited his usual brilliancy of technique and Interpretation. Miss Hazel Bickers rendered "Butterflies" (Schumann), which consists of 12 miniatures of different -moods.

The musls was of high clasouand Miss Templeton sustained a sweetnexs-of tone that well brought her the deserved credit.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT UNIVERSITY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO TODAY'S ECCENTRIC MAN IS DEAD PR03IINEXT EASTERN OREGON CAP ITALIST PASSES AWAY. Preferred Cabin to Mansion His Family Occupied Owned Rail road, bnt Refused Pais on It. UNION, Or., June IS. Abner Robblns, who died here Saturday, aged C3 years, was gnerot tho wealthiest men and prob ably the most eccentric character in Eastern Oregon. He owned a railroad, but never accepted a pass on it, and, it is said, had never ridden on It, prefer ring a cayu.e to bis steam-horse. He also possessed a fine residence hero, which his family occupied, but .Jhe greater por tion of his time was spent In a cabin near Drewscy. He had three large gen eral stores in Eastern Oregon, filled with clothing, yet he only wore overalls, a cheap cotton shirt, a pair of cowskln boots and an old wool hat. He owned a J10.COO flouring mill In Drcwsoy, but had never been inside of it, although he pass ed by It almost daily. With every reasonable luxury on earth at his com mand, a splendid home and a devoted wife always pleading for him to come and remain at home, he preferred i rude cabin In the alkali desert, a board bed and bacon and beans, and the compan ionship of cowboys and shecpherders. Some six miles west of Drewscy there is an old log cabin nbct 10x12 Jcct In size. The crevices between the logs are unohinked, pieces of cloth and gunny sacks hang over the openings for win dows, and a thin board suffices for the door. There is a crude fireplace and by it hangs a frying-pan or skillet, a coffee pot and i kettle. Th's is where Rob bins prepared his meals. In one corner of the small room is a bedstead, two sides of the wall furnishing half the support for It, and a post with two rails at tached to the wall furnishing the other support. An old mattress, some cheap blirikcts that look as If they had never been straightened since first placed thgrr, formed the bod of tai.ownor of a quar ter of a million. In short, he preferred to live the life of the prospector pr tho The late Abner RobTitns. 1 OF OREGON. PROGRAMME. old-time pioneer to that of liixury, as regarded by the world. The story of how Robbing came to build a flouring mill at Drewsey arid then let It go to ruin is an interesting one. A smooth-talking commercial man cj.me along and convinced one of Robblns' friends that a big flouring mill would pay at Drewscy; that if a mill was built tho ranchers would turn their attention to raising wheat. The friend becime en thusiastic and sought Bobbins' assist ance. The latter explained that It would not pay; that It would bo years before wheat would be raised In this section to aD extent; that irrlgitlon-would be nec essary, and that this would require time. But the friend saw all kinds of fortunes In a flouring mill, and Insisted. Robblns became impatient and said: "Well, go ahead and build your mill and I'll pay for it, just to show you that you are wrong." Tho friend believed in putting In u good one while he was at It, ajid ordered the very best machinery from Ohio. A four story building was erected, a ditch was dug along the banks of the middle fork of the Malheur River, and a turbine wheel was put in, and as fine a mill com pleted as was ever constructed of the same capacity. Before the water was brought to the wheel the projector of the mill became impatient and purchased a large steam engine, and the mill was started. It was run n few months at a dead loss, and then shut dawn. It now stands there, the window frames all knocked In by mischievous boys, the ma chinery rusting and going to wreck, without a doar's Insurance on it. Rob blns paid the bill wltnout a murmur, for he foresaw the end in the beginning. He had never been Inside the mill and Tievcr spoke of it, although the road from Drew sey to his cabin was along by the side of the mill. Abner Robblns was born In Boston, Mass., In 1S33. He was a ahocmakor by trade. He sailed from Boston and came to Sacramento, CaL, In 1S53. He. mined In California and was steamboat captain and followed the mercantile business. He moved to Jacksonville. Or.. In 1S55, came to John Day In 1853, and came to this section In 1S77. Tfio Robblnscs had two children. The son died and the daughter married James Lucky, and they now live In Portland. Mr. Robbln." was a fine violinist and singer and jig dancer. No greater pleas ure was afforded him than to have a company of cowboys visit his cabin and put In the early night In dancing and singing. Prominent British. Columbia Inn. VANCOUVER, B. C, June 16.

Approximately Is Not SnfflclcHt, Says Supreme Court Five Appealed Cases Decided. SALEM, June 16. The Supreme Court today rendered five opinions, as follows: Turner Oliver, respondent, vs. James H. Hutchinson and W. R. Hutchinson, partners, doing business as Hutchinson Bros., appellants; appeal from Union County, Robert Eakin, Judge; reversed and hew. trial ordered; opinion by Chief Justice Bean. This Is an action to recover damages for the trespass of defendants stock upon improved agricultural land, of which the plaintiff was the lessee. The plaintiff In 1SS0 and lSuO was the lessee and In possession of lid acres inclosed with 600 acres belonging to the defend ants, and for want of a pirtltlon fehcer which plaintiff was fever willing to con struct, defendants stock trespassed upon plaintiff's land. In 1S59 plaintiff's em ployes, while building a partition fence, were arrested at the instigation of de fendants, who charged them with tres passing. Plaintiff then brought suit for damages to grain and other crops In the sum of JSOO, ahd recovered judgment for 1375, from which defendants appeal ed, alleging error in admission of testl mony and In a certain Instruction to Jury. Tho Court overrules the first assignment of error in the admission by the trial Court of oral testimony .to show the arrest of plaintiffs employes while con structing the fence. The evidence Is held to be competent, and the production of the record not necessary. The opinion holds that the Court erred In Instructing tho Jury that if plaintiff attempted to erect a partition fence on the line between his and the defendants' lands, or "approximately so," and It was prevented by the acts or threats of the defendants, they would be liable for any damages the plaintiff suffered on ac count of the trespass of their stock, oth erwise he could not recover. Since there was a controversy between the parties as to the true dividing line between the lands, tho Court finds that the plaintiff had no right or authority to Construct a fence On the premises of the defend ants, and It was a matter of no consel quence whether he was 10 feet or only ono foot over on defendants' land. The term "approximately"., is not considered definite. Because of the error in the instruction given, the judgment Is reversed. W'llliam JI. Male ct al., appellants, vs. George Schaut et aLK respondents, from Union County, Robert Eakln, Judge; re versed; opinion by Chief Justice Bean. This was an action on a promissory note. The .decree of the Court below was based upona finding outside of the Is sues, and in accordance with Its well known rule, the Supreme Court refuses to uphold such a decree. It Is also held that the question of amendment, at this stage of the case must first bo passed vupon by the lower Court, and the cause is remanded for such proceedings as may seem proper. George H. Williams, appellant, vs. W. H. Wilson and Robert Kelly, respondents, and O. D. Taylor, uefendant; appeal from Wasco County, W. 1. Bradshawv Judge; opinion by Chief Justice Bean; reversed. This is a suit to enjoin the sjile of real property under an execution issued on a Judgment against the plaintiff's grantor. The facts are that on January 17, 1S93, O. D. Taylor mortgaged the property In question to W. H. Wilson, and on the following July conveyed it to the plain tiff, but deel was not recorded until July 27, 1&5. In March, July and Octo ber, 1S54-, one Joseph A. Johnson recover ed Judgments against Taylor for Jieoo, $15 and $1811 71, and In April, 1851, Caro line Breese recovered a judgment against him for 31107 50, which she assigned to Johnson. At the time the Judgments were recovered by Johnson, he had no notice or knowledge that plaintiff had or claimed any Interest in the mort gaged premises, and knew nothing of "the deed until it was recorded. On Novem ber 16, 1S8, J. C. Flanders, the assignee of the mortgage, commenced suit in the Circuit Court of Wasco County to fore close the same, making Johnson a party. Johnson appeared and filed an answer, setting up his Judgments and alleg ing that the' were Hens on the mort gaged premises, entitled to be paid out of the proceeds of the sale thereof in the foreclosure proceedings. On May 27, 1SS5, a decree was rendered ordering the sale of the property and directing how the proceeds should be distributed In paying off the prior Hens. An execution was issued on the decree, and the prop erty sold to Johnson for an amount suf ficient to satisfy all the Uons except the one of October, 1S9I. On August 8 plain tiff redeemed by paying Johnson the amount of his bid, which was acceotcd and applied on the judgments of March, and July, 1SS4, and the Breese judgment, leaving unpaid his judgment of October, 1KM, which he assigned to one Rorlck, who. on August 13, 1901. assigned It. to tho present defendant. On September 18, 1901, Wilson caused an execution to be Issued thereon, and the property de scribed In the mortgage and conveyed by Taylor to the plaintiff to be again seized and adertlsed for sale; whereupon this suit was brought to"-cno!n the sale, on the ground that the Hen of the Johnson judgment was barred and foreclosed by the decree of foreclosure. The Supreme Court, in substance, says, after citing a number of cases: "A subsequent re demption by n grantee of the mortgagor did not restore his Hen or vest in him the right to have the property again sold for any amount due on his Judg ment, any more than such a redemption woufd have vested a similar right In the mortgagee had the land sold for less than the amount of his personal decree against the mortgagor." The decree of tho Court below will therefore be reversed, and one entered here as prayed for. E. M. Payton and M. A. Bally, appel lants, vs. C. R. Burns, respondent; ap peal from Baker County, Robert Eakln. Judge; affirmed; opinion by Justice Moore. This Is a suit to determine an adverse Interest in realty, the property Involved consisting of mineral land In Baker County. The complaint alleges that the plaintiffs, in Maroh, 1?9S, regularly "lo cated upon a mining claim, which they named "Independence Quartz Claim No. L" For a second cause of suit plaintiffs claimed to have filed on claim styled "In dependence Quartz Claim No. 2." An answer denied the material allegations of the complaint, and set up the adverse claim of defendants. The Supreme Court holds, as did the Lower Court, that tho plaintiff failed to produce testimony sufficient to prove his case. Kllles J. Martin, Oliver Martin, G.

There are some 2000 miners and homeseekers In Po catello tonight, ready to make the run, and probably as many more at points along the outer boundaries of the reserva tion. The Indian police have put several hundred "sooners" off the reservation to day, and some dozen who persisted In re turning were taken to the agency at Ross Fork and locked up. Pocatcllo has gono wild over the mineral supposed to exist on the1 reservation, and the big stampede from this point will be for the hills. An undercurrent of" excitement prevails to night, and, as it isknown that In many Instances dozeps of men are after the same prospects, there is danger of collis ions, and, grave jfe&rs of trouble are en tertained. The race to the land office at Blackfoot, .from 35 to 40 miles from the land, will be exciting. A special train will run from McCammon, but a number of prospective settlers proposer to make the race oh horseback, and expect to beat the train from McCammon to Blackfoot, a distance of 45 miles, with relays of fast horses. They say they can ride the dis tance In two hours and 40 minutes, Lanil Office Ready for the Rnsh. -J3LACKFOOT, Idaho, June 15.

This settles the question of pros pecting within the five-mile- limit of Po catello, and over 1000 prospectors will race from that place tomorrow for mineral locations. A large force of deputy mar shals has been appointed at Blackfoot. and every effort will be made to preserve order. EXPECT TO STRIKE OIL SOOX.
