VICTIM LEFT NAKED
Highwaymen Capture and
Search Thomas O'Brien.
WALLET WITH $170 TAKEN
Alaska Miner Asks Two Men to Guide
Him to His HoteI--On the Way
They Rob Him and Leave
Him Shivering.
Taken In tow by two highwaymen,
robbed of $170, stripped of his last stitch
of clothing- and turned loose naked and
shivering In a strange part of the city.
Is the story told by Thomas O'Brien, a
miner, at the police station last night.
A careful investigation has proved to
the offlcors that his story is true.
O'Brien arrived in Portland yesterday
raernlng from Alaska. He had some loose
change In his pockets, but carried $170
in a wallet strapped around his leg. As
soon as he arrived be commenced to
drink, and by night was somewhat in
toxicated. At different times during the
day he ran short of funds, and going
Into a secluded place took a hill from
the sack on his leg. The men who held
him up later in the evening mult have
soon him. for from the time they took
him in tow they indicated a knowledge
that ho had money concealed on his per
son. O'Brien was stopping at the Qulmby
hotel, and about 7 o'clock in the evening
concluded that he would go to his rooms.
Ho had lost his bearings, however, and
wandered out in the direction of Ninth
and Hoyt streets.
"Where are you going?" asked tho two
highwaymen, coming up behind him.
"Looking for the Qulmby hotel,"
promptly answered O'Brien, thinking that
thoy wore man who were taking a kindly
Interest in him.
"We'll show you," they said, and he
thought his troubles were ended.
Tho three started up Hoyt street, and
passed by a vacant lot between Ninth
and Tenth.
"In this way," they said, leading him
uj besldo a pile of house-moving timbers.
O'Brien was completely lost, and never
thought of questioning his guides. One
of thorn stepped behind him, and a sec
ond later he felt a rope tighten around
his neck.
"Keep quiot," said one of them with an
oath, "or we will string you up right
.here." The man attempted to shout for
feoip but the rope was drawn so tightly
that ho could not make a. sound.
With nlmblo Angers the highwaymen
then made a thorough search of his cloth
ing and took what loose change he had.
Thoy then removed every article of
clothing that he had on, carefully exam
ining the lining to be sure that they
wore not overlooking anything. After
thoy had satisfied themselves that there
was no more cash to be found, the rope
wws loosened and the men disappeared.
O'Brien, left naked and shivering, com
menced to look around for his clothing.
The garments had been scattered about,
however, so that he was able to And
3KTcely enough to cover his body. When
he had donned the few articles he could
find, he started down the street in search
of some one to help him. He stopped at
the first saloon he came to and told the
story. The saloonkeeper telephoned at
once to the police station, and Sergeant
Carpenter was sent to investigate the
casa. He went with the man to the scene
of the robbery. A light was procured, and
after looking around for some time, he
found all of tho lost clothing. The patrol
-wagon was then summoned, and O'Brien
was takon to the police station. A mark
around his neck proved beyond doubt
that he had been badly choked. His con
dition when Officer Carpenter found him
was evidence enough that he had been
stripped of his clothing, and after inquir
ing into his actions during the day. Offi
cer Carpenter is convinced that he was
robbed of a large sum of money.
The description he is able to give of
the highwaymen is very meager. As soon
as he had recovered somewhat from tho
shock ho went with Sergeant Carpenter,
and until late in the night the two wan
dared about the North End trying to
find the robbers.
ONE GALLERY NOT CLOSED.
License of "Spindle" Stevens Not Yet
Revoked.
Although three other shooting galleries
of the same nature as the one run by
"Spindle" Stevens at 105 North Third
street have been deprived of their li
censes and closed down, Stevens still has
a license and is continuing his game.
When the license committee of the City
Council decided that the galleries of that
nature should not be allowed in the city
the members asked Chief of Police Hunt
to make a list of the galleries that should
be doprived of their licenses. The arrest
and conviction of "Spindle" Stevens on a
charge of larceny first called tho at
tention of the public to the nature of the
games.
"The games I name to you are of the
Fame nature as the one run by Stevens,"
said the Chief, when he submitted the
list, but he did not Include the namo of
Stevens in his list.
City License Inspector McEachern yes
terday called upon he Chief. After talk
ing the matter over they, decided that the
committee should be asked to rescind
Stevens' license at its next meeting.
"Stevens was overlooked through an
accident." said the Chief. "When I was
asked about the galleries I sent an officer
to get a list of them. Officer Vaughn went
to look up tho galleries, and at tho time
he made the tour Stevens was closed. His
place was Included in tho list, but he
reported that Stevens was closed. Tho
Deputy Auditor in making out the list to
submit to the Council did not think it was
necessary to Include his name if his gal
leries wore closed. The matter will be
attended to at once."
NOVEMBER A RAINY MONTH.
But Low Temperature Is Not Below
Normal.
November thus far has been a rainy
month beyond the average, but the low
temperature at which so many complaints
have been hurled is nothing out of the
ordinary. The rainfall up to yesterday
was P.10 inches, an excess of 5.64 inches
above normal. The temperature, on the
other hand, has been only one degree be
yond the average as indicated by the
records of the local Weather Bureau.
November 19 was the coldest day so far
this month. Then the mecury went down
to 34 degrees. But for all that this year
Isn't a marker to preceedlng years In the
temperature line. November 21, 1900, the
bureau thermometer registered 19 degrees.
Taking the corresponding date of yester
day for six years, the fact that Portland
has not experienced unusual weather he
comes apparent, as the following records
show: November 20, 1S97, 29 degrees; 1S9S,
55 degrees; 1S99, 45 degrees; 1900, 24 degrees;
1901, 47 degrees; 1902. 34 degrees; 1903, 34
degrees.
Elks' Heads Scarce.
If the elks had known what was in
rtore for them when the Order of Elks
was founded, thew would probably have
made a beo line for the Arctic regions.
Not only is there a continual demand
for mounted elks heads to ornament the
walls of lodge rooms of the order, but
even the living animals have to submit
to the loss of their teeth in order to
make watch charms for members of the
order. Tho latest demand for an elk's
head comes from Manila whe're a hand
some, three-story temple has just "been
completed on the Lunetta overlooking the
sea. The only elk's heads the lodge there
has been able to secure so far are those
painted on the walls. A Portlander liv
ing in Manila is anxious to secure a fine
specimen of a genuine elk's head to pre
sent to the lodge, and has written to a
friend here to hunt him up one. Elks are
becoming scarce and their heads the
same, for unfortunately the animals grow
only one head, and there are only a few
teo'h In each fit for watch charms.

James Neill and a supporting company
of quality gave a satisfactory perform
ance of Stanley Woyman's "A Gentleman
of France" at the Marquam Grand last
evening. It should be said at tho outset
that Mr. Neill is not at his best in a
swashbuckling role. The best thing he
has ever done was the Hon. John Grlgs
by, a characterization, a far cry from
Gaston de Marsac and his kind. Mr. Neill
is a finished actor, however, and essays
the romantic drama with the necessary
equipment of a physique and an excellent
sword arm. Tho fencing is -left princi
pally to a thrilling fight on the stair
way, one of the very best things in ro
mantic drama, by the way. The scene is
full of excitement and has a big enough
mortality list to spread over the entire
eight scenes. Miss Ford has arranged
her dramatization of the novel into what
she Is pleased to call periods. There are
three of these, divided Into eight scenes,
during which time the story of how Gas
ton do Marsac, an adventurer of good
family, reduced to penury, after first see
ing and loving the fairest woman in the
court of Henry of Navarre, secretly enters
tho service of Henry to rescue Mile, do la
vire rrom tne macmnatlons of hers and
the King's enemies. How he dares and
fights and loves her is the play unfolded
and it is one which gets Into the interest
of the audience until tho last curtain.
Miss Edythe Chapman, in spite of the
spelling, as a charming actress and makes
a charming person of the wayward hero
ine. She is worth all the sword play and
established herself In tho affections of
Portland's playgoers last night Katherine
Gllman and John W. Burton supplied the
comedy of the piece fully and left noth
ing to be desired. The small part of
Henry IH in the hands' of George Bloom
quest was an excellent bit, and the re
maining members of the cast were upVto
the requirements.
The mountings and costumes were new
and good in every detail. There will be a
matinee this afternoon, the engagement
closing with tonight's performance.
This afternoon Mrs. Robert Morris (nee
Elsie Esmond), ono of Portland's pet
actresses, will ender a theater party to
a number of friends, and tonight Presi
dent Howard Elliott, of the Northern Pa
cific, and his party will see the closing
performance of "A Gentleman of France."

dale. Seldom, if ever, has such an audience
gathered to hear classical music at any
concert In this city as the audience that
crowded the Empire Theater last night,
on the occasion of a grand operatic con
cert given under the direction of Manager
George L. Baker. The latter can now odd
to his other titles that of successful im
p:esario. 'Although every number on tho
programme belongs to the department of
classical music, and Italian was the prin
cipal language used by the singers, each
selection was enthusiastically encored.
The audience was one of true music
lovers. Culture and critical Judgment
were well represented.
The surprise of tho concert was tho
really brilliant coloratura singing of Miss
Agnes Watt, who is an Oregon girL It
may be said that she made her debut in
concert work last night, as she has never
sung before in public to any extent. Her's
is a rare voice in these days of dramatic
singing, and illustrates the beauty and
coloring of the Italian school. She trilled
like a bird In the "Jewel Song" from
rao&c. ana ror a rousintr mnnm foi-
Rossini's "La Danza." Her artistic work
stamps her as one of the leading sopranos
of the Pacific Coast.
It was a pleasure to hear Millard O.
Lownsdale sing again, and his many
friends gave him an ovation. His mag
nificent baritone voice easily filled the
theater, and when he finished Schumanria
"Two Grenadiers," there was a storm of
applause. He came back and bowed his
acknowledgments, but the people wanted
to hear him sing again, and, playing his
own accompaniments, he sang "Blessed.
Dreams," and for another encore gave
"Pretty Moth." Kerr Titkary sang excel
lently, and it was an ordeal sufficient to
try anyone's nerves. His aria from
"Othello" was well sung, and he re
sponded with the familiar "La Donne
Mobile," from "Rigoletto." Titkary, who
is a tenore leggiero, excels In lyric selec
tions and trilling. Mr. Zan did magnifi
cent work, and distinctly added to hi3
growing artistic reputation as a baritone.
His encore was Tosti's "Vorrel Morlre."
Mrs. Walter Reed was the favorite of
the concert, and she never sang more
grandly. Her encoro was "Just a Weary
in' for You," by Carrie Jacobs Bond. She
was a magnificent figure in a glorious
white gown. Louis P. Bruce assisted in
the "Liucia" number. Edgar E. Coursen,.
the accompanist, was the hardest-worked
person at the concert. He played with
delightful expression and taste. This con
cert will awaken new interest iiu-grand
