Louis Bargus, a. Laborer,
Mysteriously Murdered.
WAS HE SLAIN FOR HIS HONEY?
Lnst Seen Alive With A. T. Gladessy,
a Young Colored Man, "Who Is
In Custody Snndbng;
Was Used.
Apparently murdered for his money and
watch and chain, the body of Louis Bor
gus, 40 j ears old, who lived in a lodging
house at Third and Everett streets, was
found yesterday morning at 7 o'clock,
jammed between wooden boxes at the
rear of the Willamette Iron Works, on
Hoyt street, near Third. His skull was
fractured And brain Injured by reason of
his having been struck on the back of
the head with a blunt instrument, pre
sumably a sandbag. Detectives Snow and
Kerrigan arrested A. T. Gladessy, 19 years
old, colored, on suspicion of being impli
cated in the man's death. The last time
Borgus wis seen alive by his friends was
about 11 o'clock Thursday night, when he
left a Third-street saloon in Gladessy'b
company. When the body was found, an
empty purse lay several feet distant, the
lining of Borgus pants pockets was
turned outside, and another purse found
contained only 40 cents. His watch and
chain, valued at ?40, are missing, also a
roll of currency he Is known to have pos
sessed. A partial Inquest was held by
the Coroner yesterday, and a number of
witnesses -were examined, but no definite
facts as to the actual details of the mur
der were obtained, and the inquest was
adjourned until this afternoon.
The most important facts brought out
by the police and Coroner so f ir are that
Borgus and Gladessy left the Gutenburg
saloon. Third and Everett streets, at 11
o'clock Thursday night, and that Borgus
was found murdered yesterday morning
at 7 o'clock on Hoyt street. No evidence
has been found to shed light on the two
men's movements in the interval. Theo
dore Paulsen testified that he and the
dead man had been chums, and that they
arrh ed from Cottage Grove last Tuesday.
"We had secured railroad construction
work at Bridal Veil, and were on the way
to the depot to take the train, when we
met some fellows and began to drink, and
lost the train," stated Paulsen. "Instead
of getting workv Borgus got beer, and
lost his life. Borgus was born In Sweden,
.and he was not married. I saw him Thurs
day night about 10 o'clock, and ne drank
beer in the Gutenburg saloon. We had
been drinking for five days, and when I
left m in the saloon I saw him with a
colored man. I went to my lodging
house. At that time Borgus had $5 or
$10 and a watch and chain valued at $30.
I did not speak to the colored man and
do not know him."
Charles Pettersen, who keeps the Gut
enburg saloon, testified that Paulsen and
Borgus were drinking In his place Thurs
day night, and left to board a train for
Bridal Veil, but missed It. "They re
turned, and I afterward saw Borgus and
a colored man come out of a room," pro
ceeded Pettersen. "Borgus had beer com
ing to him, for he had been drinking with
friends, and he insisted that if he was to
get beer the colored man should get some
of It. I told the colored man to drink his
beer and leave the place, and leave the
white man alone. Borgus and the col
ored man started to leave the place, and
I pulled back Borgus, but the colored man
came, too. But finally the two left. I
sent two men to try to find them, and
take Borgus home, but we could not find
Borgus that night. I did not like the looks
of the colored man. I was afraid he
might harm Borgus. The last time Bor
gus and the colored man were seen they
were going in the direction of the steel
bridge. I have seen the colored man ar
rested, but cannot swear that he is the
same person I saw with Borgus."
"I tried to separate Borgus from the
colored man, but the latter told me I was
standing In with the bartender," testified
Charles Wilson.. "I have seen Gladessy
in jail, and I swear he is the man I saw
go out of the Gutenburg saloon with Bor
gus. The reason that I tried to prevent
Gladessy from going w 1th Borgus was be
cause I was afraid Gladessy would rob
him."
Policeman Slpver testified as to the po
sition of the body when found, and men
tioned the fact that the linings of the
man's pants pockets were turned outside
and that the appearance of his coat col
lar Indicated he had been dragged some
little distance. "Conductor Doyle Is stat
ed to have sild that an unknown colored
man followed him at Third and Gllsan
streets late Thursday night," went on
Slover. "Doyle is now on the rpad with
his train, but will be here tomorrow."
E idence was produced showing that Bor
gus and Paulsen had secured work
through an employment agency. The au
topsy by Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie showed
that there were no external marks of vio
lence on the body; that no blood oozed
from the back of the head where the in
jur' occurred, on account of blood clots,
but that death had been caused by a
fracture at the base of the skull.

He Is a Scot.
London Daily News.
Here is a true story of a curious person
ality well known to many professional
men In London today. He is a Scot,
whose business ability is above the aver
age, but everything he does Is done with
the air of a man constantly wrestling
with the problem of the soul. He rarely
speaks unless spoken to. He never smiles,
and his eyes have a fixed but intense ex
pression. One day he was returning to
London with several companions. The
whole party were Scottish, but the rest
laughed uproariously. Not so the humin
problem. He sat In a corner of the rail
way "carriage glowering at his mirthful
friends. Half an hour afterward, how
ever, when all were standing at a street
corner before separating, he took one
aside and said solemnly and slowly: "Ye
would tbsalrve that I dldna laugh at
yond' story. Well, I saw tho joke. Ye
might not think "it, but I have a keen
sense of humor."

FRAXK S. FIELDS MUST BRING MAX
DA31US PROCEEDINGS.
County Cleric Svretlnnd Will Refuse
to Iaauc Certificate of Election
to New Ofllcial.
It is now a settled fact that the right
of Frank Fields to fill the office of County
Clerk, to which he has just been elected,
will be contested.
Mr. Fields Is at present out of the -city.
and when he returns and aska for his J
election certificate. Clerk of the County
Court Swetland will refuse to gire it to
him, and tell him to bring a mandamus
proceeding in the courts to obtain It. An
answer will be filed to the effect that the
County Clerk-elect has been elected to
fill an office which, under the constitution,-cannot
exist, and therefore is not
entitled to any certificate of election. An
effort will be made to obtain a decision
upon questions involved In this way. If
a mandamus suit will not suffice, quo
warranto proceedlngo will have to be
brought.
Mr. Swetland yesterday stated that he
desired to have the matter settled in a
friendly suit, and would ask Mr. Fields to
file a case on his return, and have a trial
as expeditiously as possible, and try to ob
tain a decision before the beginning of the
new term on the first Monday In July.
OX TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Jnmc "Williams Is Charged With
Killing: "Cockney Georsre.'
The trial of James Williams, alias
Thomas McDonald, on a charge of mur
der, was commenced yesterday before.
Judge George and a jury. Williams shot
and killed George Hicks, otherwlea .known
as "Cockney Georgo," In a boarding-house
on Second street, near Davis, kept by .the
defendant and Harry Lynch. The jury
selected to try the case is comprised of
the following named persons:
R. E. Menefee James V. Baker
W. E. Bralnard A. W. Wallace
F. L. Wilson E. Halllngby
Daniel Healy James S. Rathbun
J Flelschner Sam Wagner
W. J. Fullam F. J. Haines
John Dltchburn appears as attorney for
Williams, and District Attorney Cham
berlain and his assistant, Arthur C'
Spencer, are prosecuting the case.
The killing was the outcome of a quar
rel. Hicks came to the boarding-house
under the influence of liquor and demand
ed a second supper, which Williams de
clined to serve him. The two men finally
fought, and the affair concluded with the
shooting of Hicks by Williams. The lat
ter ran away, but after several days naa
passed he surrendered himself to the
authorities.
In 'his opening address to the jury for
the defense. Attorney Dltchburn stated
that "Cockney George" was a dangerous
character and was known as a knife
thrower. He was In the habit of throw
ing knives at a mark, and very seldom
missed. Counsel said: "Tho whole po
lice force will tell you that his reputation
was bad, and that he was a dangerous
man." The attorney further stated that
"Cockney George" repeatedly threatened
to kill Williams, saying, "I'll have your
blood before morning. I'll cut you up,"
and he bit Williams' thumb badly and
went into the kitchen to obtain knives,
and came out with a heavy Iron spoon
in one hand. Williams. Mr. Dltchburn
eald, had no Intention of killing Hicks,
and did not raise the gun to his shoulder,
but was holding It In a downward position,
when he saw Hicks coming with a knife
and all of a sudden the gun went off, but
Williams did not know that he had killed
Hicks. It was stated also that Hhe de
fendant was an Industrious man, saved
his money, and deposited It in the bank.
Counsel explained that the reason WHH
lams had two names was because when
he was a young man he deserted from an
English man-of-war and changed his name
so that he would not be captured.
The prosecution called Dr. Thornton to
testify concerning the death of Hicks, and
also Policeman M. F. Sloan. Mrs. Anna
Lynch was called to testify concerning
the shooting. She stated that the two
men fought, and Hicks called Williams
vile names, and threatened to kill him,
and bit his thumb. When Williams flred
the fatal shot sho said Hicks had just
come out of the kitchen with a heavy
Iron spoon. Williams, she stated, did not
raise the rifle to his shoulder. The wit
ness said that Hicks refused to make up
with Williams, but persisted In calling him
the vilest of names, and making threats.
For the defense J. Bailey, a policeman,
was called, and testified that "Cockney
George" was quarrelsome, and some peo
ple seemed to be afraid of him. The wit
ness said he arrested him once, and took
a weapon from him.
The trial will be resumed today.

QUEER THINGS IN CLOUDS.
Mnd In Neiv York, Brown Snoiv In
AnfitrlB, Colored Hall.
New York Mall and Express.
New York's recent Bhower of muddy
rain Is one of those phenomena which,
though not common, occur at long In
tervals in all parts of the world. Not
long ago at Flume, In Austria, there was
a heavy fall of half-frozen, brownish
snow, and In Italy and some parts of Ger
many there was a downpour of red rain.
It was found upon Investigation that tho
brown snow at Flume was caused by the
admixture of sand which had been blown
from the desert of Sahara, hundreds of
miles away across the Mediterranean, and
the red rain was not a deluge of blood as
the peasants'thought, but was due to the
presence of quantities of minute Infusoria,
which somehow had been drawn up Into
the heavens and let down again when the
clouds fell as rain.
A singular phenomenon of this sort oc
curred In Venezuela some time ago, when
colored hailstones fell In the state of
Zamora. There was first a heavy thun
der storm, with much rain, and then aft
er a while the hall came down in such
abundance that hundreds of bushels of
hailstones might have been gathered.
Some of the hailstones weighed as much
as two ounces. It Is well known that in
the tropics hailstones are exceedingly rare
in places situated In the lowlands. But
this hailstorm was particularly remark-
oV1a rn (Kwnf nf tYitk rwlftn of tHft Vm11
stones, some of which were' whitish, while '
others were blue, green, rose-color or red.
Schwedoff, who. In his memoir on the
origin of hailstones, describes a fall of
similarly colored hailstones which fell at
Minsk. In Prussia., in the month of June,
thinks that the colors are due to the pres
ence of nickel and salts of cobalt, and
that the phenomenon confirms his hypo
thesis of thb cosmic origin of hall. There
have been many well-authenticated cases
where, after a heavy rain, the ground has
been found strewn with small fish which
have dropped from the clouds, and even
young frogs, scarcely out or. ine raapoie
state, have been "known, to descend upon
the wlpgs of the storm. One theory Is
that all these foreign substances are car
ried up into the clouds by whirlwinds, and
another that the least bulky of them, such
as minute Infusoria, are caught up In
the process of evaporation.

An Important historical monument was
dedicated at Da Salle, five miles from Ni
agara. This was to commemorate the
launcning oi ine -nrsi American-Duut ves
sel used by white men on the Great Lakes,
the Griffon, built by La Salle and launched
In May, 1679. La Salle sailed from Niagara
In August, 1679, voj aging through Lakes
Erie. Huron and Michigan to Green Bay,

There he loaded the Griffon with
furs and started her on the return trip.
while he and his party went In canoes
up the SL Joseph River, crossed to the
Kankakee, and so Into Illinois. They were
successful In their negotiations with the
Indian tribes, but the Griffon was never
heard of after leaving Lake Michigan.
So the first American-built vessel to nav
igate the Great Lakes was lost at sea. It
was of only CO ton3 burden, all told, but
was the forerunner of the great fleets of
vessels that now make the lakes the seat

the ocean liner.
While the traffic on our rivers decreased
with -the development of our railway sys
tems, the traffic on the lakes has steadily
Increased, until the route traversed by La
Salle's Griffon has become a great high
way of commerce over which thousands ot
American-built vessels carry
American
products vo the value of $oO0,000.0O0 an
nually.
No Laclr of Conscience.
New Yortf Sun.
If General Wood transgressed any regu
lation or principle' that should have con
trolled his acts as temporary adminis
trator of Cuban affairs, that is a mat
ter between him and his superiors at
Washington. If he made a mistake in
the agency he employed for supposed pub
licity, that Is a matter between himself
and his own sense of honor; the fault.
If any, appears to belong to a lower jur
isdiction than that of conscience.
The discovery of these payments is
being used for about 1000 times more than
it Is worth by the obstructionists of reco
nrocltv with Cuba. How Is the duty of
Congress to enact the measure demanded
( by common justice and common sense af
fected by the circumstance that General
Leonard Wood, as the official guardian of
the interests of Cuba, paid money for tho
circulation of printed matter In the hope
of reaching and enlightening the leaders of
thought in the United States?
