SINK IN ICY WATER
Firemen Attempt to Desert
Shawmut at Victoria,
DODGE GUARDS ON THE LINER
Ship's Boats -Attempt Rescue but Are
Too Late-Oriental Crew at
Point of Mutiny All the
Way From Yokohama.
VICTORIA. B. C, June 30. (Special.)
From the day she left Yokohama bound
for Puget Sound the big Boston Steamship
Company's liner Shawmut had trouble
with her nondescript firemen, who had
been picked up to take the places of the
regulars, who refused to serve when the
ship was In the Orient The raw hands
knew nothing of stoking, and once almost
had the steamer at a standstill. They
were Japanese and Chinamen, and they
fought among themselves ferociously near
ly every watch.
At Victoria it was learned that a deter
mined attempt -would be made by these
firemen to desert the ship. Strohg guards
were placed at the gangway and along
the rails, but in spite of all precautions
one batch sprang over the rail and down
40 feet Into the icy cold water and struck
out for land. This batch was quickly In
tercepted and returned to the ship.
Another party, meanwhile, soon after
midnight, climbed down the stern to the
rudder and when detected dived and swam.
In pursuing this gang the ship's boat
beaded them toward the wharf, and one
man threw up bis hands with a scream
and went down. By the time the others
were reached two of them were worn out
and benumbed, and sank near the piles,
never to rise again. There was a brilliant
moonlight, and the movements of the fu
gitives could be seen distinctly.
The other firemen, who, fighting with
the watch, on the deck, when they saw
the tragic result of their comrades' at
tempt to escape, ran below. Captain Smith
says that those men showed a sullen tem
per all the way across and that very little
would have led to mutiny.
Several of the Japanese boarding-house
keopers here instigated the attempt to es
cape. The Shawmut left early this morn
ing for Tacoma. She will ship competent
stokers for the outward trip.

Baker County Wins Suit Against
Huntington and Bondsmen.
BAKER CITY, Or., June 30. (Speclal.)
The civil case of Baker County vs. ex
Eherlff Huntington and his bondsmen to
recover the sum of $10,000 on account of
his failure to turn oer that amount of
tax money collected by him while Sheriff,
which has been on trial during the past
two days, resulted in a verdict in favor of
the county for $10,000, the full amount
sued for.
A. H. Huntington was found to be short
in his accounts at the close of his term as
Sheriff two years ago to the amount of
$13,500. He was arrested and tried on
the criminal charge of embezzlement. The
first trial resulted In a hung jury, and the
second trial resulted in a verdict of not
guilty, the jury in effect saying that Hunt
ington had not taken the money.
Huntington paid the county about $3300.
leaving a balance of $10,000. It was to
recover this amount that a civil action
was brought against his bondsmen by Dis
trict Attorney White, in behalf of the
county. Mr. White was assisted by Thom
as G. Green, of Portland. Hon. William
Smith, Judge Olmstead and F. L. Moore
represented the bondsmen.
This case cut considerable figure In tho
recent election. It was charged that
White had been negligent in his duty and
had failed to convict Huntington or col
lect the money from his bondsmen, and
the charge contributed largely to White's
defeat in this county. White's friends con
gratulated him heartily this evening over
the victory.

i
Charles Wright Has an Unenviable
Record of Crime.
SALEM, Or., June 30. (SpecIaL) Chief
of Police Gibson made a fortunate cap
ture today when he arrested Charles
Wright, an ex-convict, horsethlef and all
around desperado. There Is a conclusive
case of grand larceny against Wright and
if jail bars will hold him until court meets
next month he Is pretty certain to find his
way backto the penitentiary.
Pour years ago Wright ended a five
years' term in the penitentiary and as
soon as he had been roleaseO he stole a
horse in this city. By means of clews
discovered by Chief Gibson he was caught
in Yamhill County. While confined In the
jail in Yamhill County he planned to es
cape by killing the jailer and came near
getting an opportunity to carry out his
plans.
While Sheriff Durhin was bringing him
to Salem he attempted to overcome tho
officer and after being confined- here he
tried to taw his way out of jail. After
conviction he was sentenced to a term. In
prison and was released three weeks ago.
Last night he picked the pocket of John
Yates at the street carnival and secured
an $90 watch, which he sold to a saloon
keeper for $2. Officers would be greatly
pleased If Wright could be given a llfo
sentence, for they consider him a con
firmed criminal.

Dust Did Not Cause Coal Creek Mine
Explosion.
VANCOUVER, B. C, June 30. Justice
vMartIn, of the Supreme Court of British
Columbia, today gave his decision on the
Crow's Nest Pass damage, suits, finding
for the defendant company. The suits
aggregated $SOO,000 and were entered by
the relatives of the 150 miners killed In
the Coal Creek explosion on May 22, 1002.

whether the explosion was caused by dust
or gas. If dust had produced the catas
trophe, the company would have been li
able. The trial occupied 20 days. The
plaintiffs contended that the explosion
was from dust, caused by the negligence

COULD NOT EAT STEAK.
Patient Says Medicine He Is Being
Sued For Was No Gc?d.
"What is the matter with Hennessy?"
is the title of a real play that was en
acted before Justice of the Peace Held
and a select crowd of spectators yester
day. Hennessy's Initials are J. D. He is a
commission merchant, his place of busi
ness being 193 and 195 Front street. From
September, 1901, until March, 1903, and
afterward, Hennessy was afflicted with
dyspepsia; he could not eat a juicy steak;
he was forced to dine at vegetarian res
taurants, and he weighed 135 pounds. He
fell In with P. F. Castleman, who Is the
agent for a patent medicine, and Hen
nessy says Castleman agreed to cure him
of dyspepsia for $50, no cure no pay. Cas
tleman says that Hennessy agreed to pay
$50 for medicine. This Is where they dif
fer, and they took the matter yesterday
before Justice Reld, Castleman asking
payment of $50 for the medicine he had
supplied to Hennessy, and the latter ask
ing $50 damages for the Ios3 he had sus
tained in hi3 tilt with strange medicine.
Castleman gave a glowing account of
the medicine referred to and got indig
nant when the defendant's lawyer, Ed
Mendenhall, asked: "Is it true that Hen-
Jnessy, after taking your medicine, was

forced to go to a regular physician to
get cured?"
"If he had taken my medicine right
along he would have been cured. Tho
trouble Is he stopped too sdon. I "might
have had $500 from him by this time. I
only want $50," replied Castleman.
W. H. Gaines testified that shortly after
Hennessy had started taking medicine
from Castleman, he met Hennessy and
that the latter joyously Informed him
he had just eaten a large piece of steak.
Before that time, part of Hennessy's con
versation had been of stomach pumps,
vegetarian foods and milk diets.
Hennessy admitted having swallowed
from 40 to 45 gallons of the medicine, and
on being examined by Frank S. Bennett,
attorney for the plaintiff, said:
"On one occasion Castlcman's attendant
told me on the quiet that If I did not get
better soon I'd cash In. When I at first
got the medicine It relieved me a little,
but did not cure me. Castleman gave the
vapor baths at a temperature of 123 de
grees, and vibration treatment. At that
time I weighed 135 pounds. Not getting
any better, I went to a regular physician,
and I now weigh 1GS pounds. I am getting
better. I have paid $100 for physician's
fees and medicine since I left Castleman."
The case was continued for further
evidence.
