Tippbd Oft bt Bartender. It now
develops that John Higgins, bartender
fr Neil O'Hare. is the man -who first
reported to Mounted Patrolman Croxford
the suspicion that Patrolman Myres had
been entering- a Russell-street Chinese
laundry and smoking opium there. Po
liceman Croxford made this announce
ment last night, and Higgins affirms the
officer. He declines, however, to make
any accusations against Myres for pub
lication, saying he does not now be
lieve him guilty, and that he never said
MjTes did smoke opium. "Higgins was
the first and only man who ever spoke
to me about Myres going into the Chi
nese laundry," said Policeman Croxford.
"He said that so frequent were the visits
of the officer to the place that the board
ers at O'Hare's saloon had been remark
ing about it, and said some thought he
went In there to hit the pipe. I re
ported the matter to the Chief, because
I supposed it would be quietly investi
gated, and, if proved untrue, nothing
would be said about it Sunday night I
pent word to Myres that I would meet
him and go with him to John Higgins,
who agreed to tell Myres Just what he
tetd me. Myres did meet me, but de
clined to go and see Higgins, saying he
did not care to; that he knew what ho
woukl say, anyway. 1 hardly see what
fairer thing I could have done. When
the story first came out, I went to the
Chief and told him I would bring in
Higgins if he would call In Myres, and
have the thing made right immediately.
The Chief declined to do this."

Nebraska Societt Organized. At a
preliminary meeting held last Sunday in
the office of Isaac W. Baird, steps were
taken toward the organization of the Ne
braska Society. Twenty former Nebras
kans were present and after electing J.
H. Johnson, president, and S. SJ, Venard,
secretary, the meeting was adjourned until
December 29 to meet at the office of Dis
trict Attorney John Manning. At that
time the organization will be perfected
and 'all officers elected. The society is
formed much after the fashion of the
well-known Ohio Society, and -all former
residents of Nebraska are eligible to mem
bership. When fully organized the society
will extend throughout Oregon. Since
there are from 300 to 400 Nebraskans in
Portland alone, the membership will un
doubtedly be large. The organizers of the
society have a special object in view at
this time, and that is the promotiox of
the Lewis and Clark Fair. Arrangements
are now being made whereby the Fair
will receive full publicity throughout Ne
braska through the medium of this new
society. An especial feature of the Ne
braska Society's work this year will be
the establishment of an open houge for
Nebraska visitors to the Fair. Headquar
ters will be established prior to and dur
ing the Fair, at which attendants will look
out for the wants of all visitors from
Nebraska in the way of information, en
tertainment and housing.
