AS Unlucky Family. A, rather re
markable Incident In connection -with the
late numerous fires in this city was the
fact that three different members of one
family, who lived far apart, -wero all put
to loss by different flres. First, Br.
Skiff, a dentist, lost all his furniture and
tools in the Tire at the Dekum build
ing. He had no Insurance, and his loss
was quite a serious matter to him. Next,
the house of "William Faber, at Eleventn
and Market streets, was gutted by fire,
and they suffered considerable loss. Mrs.
Faber, especially, lost a lot of nice
things which she had collected during
her visit to Germany, many of which can
not be replaced. Mr. Skiff was on hand
extending aid and sympathy during the
fire, as his wife is the daughter ot Mr.
and Mrs. Faber. Next, E. Hochappel. of
T. M. Stevens & Co.. whose wife is Mrs.
Faber's sister, had a lot of salt burnea
in the fire at Victoria dock. He was
pretty well insured, so his loss was not
heavy. Mrs. Faber would like to move
bick to Albany, where she lived for
many years without her house belng
burned, but Mr. Faber has decided to
repair his house and remain here. Mr.
Hochappel will build a home close by
Mr. Faber's place, with, the, understand
ing that as lightning never strikes twice
in the same place, there will be email
chance of them all being damaged by
fire again. Mr. Skiff will probably locate
near the others.
Areested on Chaiuje op Gambling.
Residents of Sunnyslde have for some
time been aware that gambling was go
ing on at Wlckline's billiard rooms, on
Thirty-fourth and East Yamhill streets,
and as many boys were frequenting the
place, they determined to put a stop to
this. At 8 o'clock Sunday evening, Po
liceman Howley, of the Boys' & Girls'
Aid Society, raided the place and cap
tured eight young fellows, six of whom
were "William Kayser, Fred Garner, G.
"W. Newbury. F. C. Petty and Oli
ver "Wickline, proprietor of the
place, who were playing poker, and the
other two were looking on. These two
testified that they saw money exchanged
for chips and that it was a genuine
gambling game that was being played.
The billiard rooms kept by Wickline aa
Joins the grounds of the Sunnyslde School
and is kont runninc day and night. The
people in that vicinity have become
thoroughly disgusted with the place, and
are determined that it should not be
carried on there any longer. The pris
oners were let off for this time with
reprimand, and "Wickline, having prom
ised that ho would no longer allow gam
bllng, was allowed to take his poker
chips and depart.
Boy's Narrow Escape. A freight train
of the Southern Pacific usually comes
Into Portland down Fourth street about
S o'clock Sunday afternoons. The train
comes down the grade slowly and the
trainmen are often annoyed by boys
trying to crawl upon the cars. Last
Sunday a lad about 12 years of age
grabbed at the ladder on the side of i
box car as the train was nearing Yam
hill street, intending to clamber up on
top of the car. If he had been boosted
just a little he would have succeeded, but
ho could not get on the ladder unassist
ed, and linolly lost his hold with one
hand and was "dragged along, holding by
the other to the bottom of the ladder.
Ho was afraid to let go for fear of fall
lng under the wheels. He would prob
ably have been crushed to death had not
D. P. T. Longworthy happened to spy
him as the train was passing Morrison
street, and rushing out into the street
grabbed him and pulled him away from
the train. The police have tried to pre
vent boys from attempting to board these
trains, but there cannot be a policeman
everywhere.
Caught a Milk Thief. For some time
A. C Goudy, assistant superintendent at
Olds, "Wortman & King's department
store, who lives at 400 South Fourth
street, has been annoyed by having his
supply of milk left by the milkman stolen
-very early In the morning. He finally de
cided to set a trap for the thief, who
sometimes took all the milk and some
times left part of It, Ho suspended
large bucket of cold water over the place
where the milk was left and waited for
the thief to arrive. He came about the
usual time, before It was light, and as
he was about to help himself to the
lacteal fluid, the bucket of water turned
upside down and he was drenched from
head to foot. The water was as cold
as Ice, and the unexpected douche caused
the thief to give a yell, whereupon Mr.
Goudy rushed out on him and vigorously
kicked him down the walk, over the
fence, and he don,'t exactly remember
how many other things.
Record Divisions op Propebtt.
County Assessor McDonell has been con
fined to his house since Saturday with

recorc in some cases there are many
pieces of property to be divided. More

is changing hands. In the matter of the
purchase of right of way by the Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company, the
amount ana vaiuo or about 100 tracts in

Contractors Seek Contracts. The
city will receive proposals next Friday
for the construction of five sewers and
the improvement or repair of eight
6treets. These streets are in the district
about the intersection of Eleventh street
with Hoyt and Johnson streets. Six of
them are to have macadam Improvements
with cement sidewalks. The Auditor's
office will be haunted for days by people
wishing to propose bids, and who have
to look through the City Engineer's esti
mates in order to make them up. There
are about ten contractors anxious to bid
on the sewers and a dozen or more to
bid on the street Improvements, each of
whom will put in a bid for the construc
tion of the cement sidewalks. As bidders
are so numerous, the work should be
taken at reasonable prices.

Yearns tor tke Good Old Dats. An
old-time citizen, formerly connected with
the trucking- business, was yesterday
moaning for the good old days when a
line of American clippers ran between
New York and Portland, the Tillie Star
buck and others, between 1SSS-7 and 1533.
Then merchants would Import 20Q or 400
tons of goods at a time. When times got
hard they took to bringing out goods In
carload lots, and gradually many manu
facturers moved out West and then
outputs could no more be sent to New
York to be shipped around the Horn to
Portland. This made a big- difference to
those In the trucking business here.
Sweated Coins Turn Up. Half a dozen
gold coins, J3, 510 and CO pieces, were
seen at the First National Bank yester
day, all of which havo been sweated by
reducing their diameter. The J20 piece
has been robbed of over JL50. The coins,
it is supposed, were all sweated by the
same gang, as the work is the same on
each. As they are no longer legal coin,
they will be. sent to the mint in San
Francisco to be recolned.

HIS BOY KIDNAPED?
G. K.
Braxbenr Snya So, Bnt
of Police In Skeptical.
Chief
G. E. Brashear rushed into the police
station last evening with the news that
his 12-year-old son Hugh, who attends
the Stephens School, had been kidnaped.
The officers, having heard many such
stories before, were rather skeptical.
""When did the boy leave home?" the
father was asked.
"This afternoon; he did not come home
from -school, and I know that he has
been kidnaped; he was a good boy, and
you must find him," said the distracted
parent.
"Did he ever run away from home?
asked Chief Hunt, who was conducting
the inquisition.
"Well, yes, he did try to leave home
once, but I know he has been kidnaped.'
"Did you punish him when he came
home?" asked the Chief.
"Indeed. I did, and he deserved it. too.
for running away like that," replied the
fond parent,
"Would you have punished him if he
came home late from school, or did you
wrap mm frequently?" was the next
question of tho Chief.
"I have always told him that he would
be licked whenever he came home late.
ana ne ex pec tea it"
"I guess your boy is safe, and is put
ting off that licking that he knows "Is
coming as long as he can," said the
Ohlef, and the worried father left the
station, still convinced that his boy was
aboard a ship, and fast being carried
towara tne- rolling ocean waves.

One of the greatest, if not the greatest,
dramatic successes seen in this genera
tion, one of world-wide fame, and which
has already been translated into the
French. German. Spanish, Italian and
Russian languages. Aucust Thomas'
"Arizona." with its cowboys, dashing
cavalry officers, lave. Intrigue, and patriot
ism, opened a week's engagement at the
Marquam Theater last night, and was
received by a brilliant and kindly audi
ence. At tho end of the famous scene in
the third act, where Tony Mostano
(Frank Campeau), a vaquero, fatally
shoots Captain Hodgman (Leslie Mat
thews) because the latter had blighted a
girl's social prospects, there were delight
ed cheers from the gallery and six differ
ent curtain calls before the applause
would cease.
The story told In the play is too well
known to require description. "Arizona"
was last played in Portland April 7, 8 and
9. 1S02, and was such a great success then
that arrangements have been made to In
sure Its now being played one entire week.
Several former favorites were recognized
in the cast Dustln Farnum, J. W. Cope,
Frank Campeau and Ben Deane and
were applaudel as they stepped on the
boards. The play has "Arizona" written
all over it. The atmosphere of that
warm, alkali plain in the Aravalpa Val
ley is forcibly brought before one, along
with the alkali dust on Its characters.
For a faithful portrayal of the propri
etor or a typical Arizona ranch, rugged.
fearless and picturesque. J. W, Cope Is
head and shoulders the best actor In the
company. He puts nsw meaning In his
lines: "We take a man on here and ask
no questions. We know the minute he
throws his saddle on his horse whether
ho understands his business or not. He
may be a minister backsliding, or a rob
ber saving his last lung, or a tralnrobber
on his vacation we don't care. All we
ask Is. 'Will he stand the gaff? Will he
sic ui nours in the saddle, holding a herd
tnavs tryin" to stampede all the timer
He stirred the house when he said:
"That's Arizona! We're a little shy on
water, but we've as much charity for
woman as you can round up in the gos
pel oi at. j&nn.
Dustln Farnum was admirable as Lieu
tenant uenton. and when he stated: "I'm
WOrSe than no ROldllr nt nil Thoro'e
girl's name sings in my ears, and I don't
hear the bugle," there were smiles. He
gave an impetuous, stirring picture of his
soldier's part. Frank Campeau is well
known In this city, from his visit as
Sam Driscoll In "Pedd'nhead Wilson,"
ana with last year's "Arizona." No one
could possibly Improve on his Tony Mos
tano. iaitn Lemmert made the most of
tne thankless, unwelcome part of Mrs.
Bonham. the woman who ruined her
peace by seeking to become one of the
principals In an elopement. Agnes Mulr
made a satisfactory Bonita Canby, a part
