g THE WORKING QBEGONIA2.. FEIDAT, MAT 13, 190!. DOG HAS A TENDER HEART YET HE SANK HIS TEETH IN PRO FESSOR SCHNAUFFER'S LEG. Fer This Demonstration of Affection H. H. Lee, the- Owser, Will Have to Pay ?25. "My dop has the most tender heart and beatific disposition' of any animal I ever saw, and would rather lose hie tall than bite any one. I would not lose Wm for anything-, and paid his fare all the way from Illinois to Portland five years ego rather than be separated from this most gentle- animal," said H. H. Iee yes trrdav before Justice Seton In a damage case instituted against him by Professor O. S. Schnauffer because this angelic dog Bank his teeth into the ample calf of the nmfMtnr's itr nn Montana avenue. Al bino, November 25. As a compensation the nrofpssor will eet $25. "Mr. Tape's ctosr la the most vicious animal that ever was turned loose to prey upon the public He has chased Innocent children; he has jumped on children, wheeling along the street on bicycles: he r mu time, npnned iid a boy in a shed for an hour: he has terrorized the neigh borhood with his ferocious rushes upon unaujmectinir nassersby until now they go block around to escape being chewed Up by this fierce animal; he jumped onto Professor Schnauffer. a well-known music teacher, grabbed him by the leg and punc tured it to the depth of three-quarters of an inch, caused him' great pain, and for the next forty years rendering him liable to nn attack of that most dreaded of all diseases, hydrophobia." was the sub- Btance of the testimony lor tne plain tiff, who put his damages at 5210. The riddle was "up to" Justice Seton yesterday morning, and was no easy one to -unravel to the satisfaction of all con cerned. The prosecution made out a pretty strong case against Mr. Lee. There was a crowd of witnesses for the plain tiff. These were: Professor O. S. Schnauf fer, his wife (who Is a physician), Mrs. John Hoffman. Fred Hoffman, Ethel and Frank Hoffman, all oi whom agreed that the dog was a most vicious animal and was constantly, when permitted to be at large, chasing people. The evidence of Mrs. Schnauffer was highly entertaining. She gave her hus band medical attention. She said she found a puncture in the professor's leg about three-quarters of an inch deep and some bruises. On ascertaining that the wound was caused by the bite of a dog she cauterized it with great care and oe verlty. Dr. Schnauffer explained in de tail the danger attendant on such a wound and said that all such Injuries were very dangerous. It took about three- weeks to cure the puncture, but It would be fully 40 years before the professor could rea sonably hope to be free from the liability of an attack of hydrophobia. Professor Bchnauffer Is now about 40 years old, and he will be SO years old before he can hope for any peace of mind under the -prediction of Dr. Schnauffer a very pleas ing prospect, indeed. She gave a very learned exposition on the subject of the danger of bites of all animals, and said that no one was able to tell what the outcome would be from such a wound. Mr. X.ee was the only witness for the defense. He admitted he was the owner Df the dog. which he said was a large Newfoundland of very playful disposi tion, especially with children. He declared that he had never known his dog to bite anybody, that the dog was kept chained JSurlng the- day, but was turned loose at bight. This was all the testimony, and ihe attorneys then made their arguments, Justice Seton scratched his chin thought fully for a moment, and then decided that the puncture Professor Schnauffer had re teived was worth $25, and gave him judg ment in that amount. And the dog is still iooking for other victims down on Mon ana avenue. SUPPORT BRIDGE AND FERRIES. Sellwood axrd South Portland "Will Vote for the Three Projects. Sellwood and South Portland will make a vigorous effort to carry the vote In lavor of the establishment of a free ierrv between these two points at the election which will be held the first Mon day In June. At the meeting of the Sell wood Board of Trade- "Wednesday night D. M. Itonaugh. presiding. Judge John F. Carries, president of the South Portland Improvement Association, was present and brought the greetings of that organization lo the members at Sellwood. and in be half of the association pledged a most hearty support to the measure. Judge Caplee declared that the two sections were entitled to this ferry- All other sections of the city were provided with facilities tor crossing the river and for transaction of business, except Sellwood and South Portland. He also spoke eloquently of the wonderful growth of Portland's sub urbs. and recalled when Sellwood was covered with a dense growth of trees. There were several other talks on the situation, and on the probability of the lerry bill bing indorsee at the polls. It -was decided to be loyal to the Morrlson- street bridge and the second Alblna ferry propositions and vote for them along with the Sellwood ferry. President Bonaugh and others expressed the- opinion that It would be better that the Sellwood ferry Ebould be defeated rather than that It Bhould apepar after the election returns were all in that Sellwood had voted against -the rebuilding of Morrison-street bridge end the second Alblna ferry, while voting ior her own ferry. It was decided to sup wort all three projects at the polls loyally. IPresldent Donaugh, the two vice-presidents, and Secretary J. "W. Campbell were authorized to conduct the campaign and take such action as they deemed best. CANNOT LEASE STREETS. St. Johns Council "Was So Advised Testerdny by Attorney O'NellL It is settled that the Council of St. Johns has no authority whatever to lease or give a franchise of the streets of that place for the sawmill plant ot Holbrook & Doernbecher, and that If the plant Is located In North St. Johns It will be be cause the Council agreed to vacate the streets asked for. Not only that, but even the electric sawmill plant, which Is well on toward completion, may not be completed unless the Council makes some concessions. The drydock also must have a street vacated. Attorney Mark O'Neill, who was quoted by Councilman T. J. Monahan as saying the Council had authority to lease the streets for manufacturing purposes, yes- terday sent his written opinion to the Council to the effect that the Council has no auhorlty to lease the streets for that purpose. Councilman Monahan. through a misunderstanding of what Mr. . O'Neill said, misquoted him. Lawyers agree that there is but one way that streets may be used, and that Is by vacating them under the provisions of the general law. The charter of St. Johns provides for the vacation of streets. It is now up to the Council to act on the nesv information it has received. There is an impression among a large number of the property-owners of St. Johns that a liberal policy should be adopted toward all enterprises which may want to locate there, and that If these large enterprises with payrolls are not encouraged to locate there SL Johns cannot grow. It Is believed that now that the Council has competent legal ad ylce It will act accordingly. ELECTIIIC CARS COLLIDE. Could Not Pass Each Other on the Same Track oa Oregon City- Line. Because two electric cars on the Oregon City branch of the Oregon "Water Power & Hallway Company were unable to pass each other on the same track between the Portland Crematorium and the Mllwaukle xoad "Wednesday evening there was a col lision and the yc&Ubuleg were wrecked. The cars were 41 and 43. The former was coming from Sell wood and the other. No. 48, was coming from the city. There were only about five passengers in each car and no one was injured. One woman was thrown down, but did not seem to be hurt. The passengers, however, were frightened by the eudden collision. Both motormen jumped out of danger when they saw that the collision was Inevitable. Both cars were- damaged and one was thrown off the track. Policeman Isakson was on the car com ing from Sellwood. ' He said the cars were both moving slowly. This was most fortunate or there would have been a serious disaster. As It was the two cars came together with -considerable force. Trafflc was only Interrupted a fev? min utes. The cause of the accident was at tributed, to some misunderstanding of orders. Alumni Association Entertainment. The Central School Alumni Association will give an entertainment this evening in the assembly hall of that school. Fred K. McCarver, president, will have charge. There will be a debate on the question, "Resolved, That the employment of wom en In business Is beneficial." President McCarver will give a solo.

The rock-crusher Is still at work at Rock wood, and one mile of the Base Line road will be ready for a top dressing by the end of the present week. Enough men and teams are employed to handle 60 tons of rock each day, and every avail able rock is being ground up to put on the road. The -vicinity of Rockwood Is famous for Its rocks, which have been gathered up from the cultivated tracts and placed In huge plies. In these piles are many rocks over two feet through. and these are being blasted into frag ments small enough for the machine. The owners of these piles of rock are glad to get rid of them, and are feeding the ma- chine to Its greatest capacity while the opportunity lasts. "When the available supply gives out at Rockwood, the crush er can be moved to one of the gravel pits mile or two away, and keep right on at work all Summer, If need be. The new roadway formed by the crushed rock makes a good appearance. and will look even better when it gets top covering of finer rock and is rolled down hard by the steam roller. At first there was much opposition to crushed rock on the Base Line road, but the ob jectors are keeping mum now and wait ing for the test which time will give it. A lively war is being waged between the Falrvlew cheese factory and TV. TV. Cot ton's branch creamery on the Columbia Slough. The war Is a benefit to the dairy men, who can stand a great deal more of It than can the proprietors of the rival factories. When Mr. Cotton established his creamery a few weeks ago, he began by offering SO cents a pound for butter fat from April 1 to October h and 25 cents a pound the other six months of the year. Now the cheese factory, owned by H. C, Campbell, Is offering 30 cents a pound for eight months out of the year, and people are wondering if Mr. Cotton will see the raise and go one better. Those who have milk to sell can get more for the fat It contains than they can for butter, so every owner of a cow Is feel lng quite prosperous and buying butter with his surplus prosperity. The Portland water Commission has engaged E. C. Lindsey to repaint the ex- posed coverings of the water main that supplies Portland with water. Across all gulches and streams the pipe Is laid on steel trestles and covered over with Jacket which Is filled with sawdust. About every three years It becomes necessary to repair and repaint these jackets, and this work Is being done. The fine steel bridge across the Sandy River, built al most exactly like the Burnslde-street bridge, will also be repainted, as well as all other exposed properties that can be preeervea by paint.

MASTER IS DISMISSED. No Evidence to Sustain Charge That He Stole Registered Letter Containing; ? 72. The 'indictment against Austin Craig. ex-Postmaster at Whitney, Or., charging him with stealing a registered letter con taining 572. was dismissed by Judge Bel llrarer yesterday on motion of United States District Attorney John H. HalL The reason assigned Is that there Is not suf ficient evidence to convict. Craig formerly published the "Washing ton County Hatchet, a weekly newspaper. and at Whitney, besides serving as Post master, was manager of a bank and en gaged in town promotion schemes. He is a young man of good address. He was arrested on April 23. The indictment re turned against him by the United States jury contained two counts. One of lar ceny of the package on July 27, 1902, and the other of embezzlement. The package was sent from Spokane addressed to James Rupp, Greenhorn. The postal inspectors traced the package to "Whitney, whero It was lost, and of course suspicion fell upon Craig. He denied ever having seen it. At the time of his arrest Craig stated that the investigation of the matter had been Invited by him, and that he felt cer tain he would eventually be acquitted. He said that 20 registered packages a day passed through the office, many of which contained much more than $72, and that It was unreasonable for any one to think for a moment that he would commit such theft. He stated that an offer had been made to him to make a settlement and that nothing further would be -done con cerning the charge, but he could not af ford to pay the amount because It would be substantially an admission of guilt. Craig since his arrest has been at liberty on bonds, and last evening he went to For est Grove. The Indictment was dismissed as the re sult of a conference between Postal In spector C. I. "Wayland and Mr. Hall, who agreed that the evidence was too weak. and that a conviction could not possibly result In the event of a trial. TO HAVE LIENS REMOVED.
