Mysterious Billy" Smith's hasty ac tion in marrying at Oregon City last Sat urday afternoon within 2 hours after Mamie Smith had apparently been legal Iv separated from him may be grounds tor a bigamy charge against the pugilist, tailor boardinghouse master and saloon keeper While Mrs. Mamie Smith was heard In the divorce, court last Friday morning the findings awarding her a decree were not signed until yesterday morning by Circuit Judge Fraser and the document bears the date June 10, 1907, two days later than "Mysterious Billy's" second wedding. Judge Fraser asserts Smith Is technically guilty of bigamy. It being a rule of the Circuit Court not to pronounce divorce decisions until the findings are prepared and Bigned. When it was learned. that "Mysterious Billy" had re-wed the day after the di vorce proceedings had been heard. It was contended by practitioners he. had made himself amenable to the law by disre garding the prohibitive six months pro vided In divorce decrees. About this point, however, there was doubt. The legal status of "Mysterious Billy's" pres tnt tangle Is beyond refutation. Jurists nd attorneys asserting emphatically di vorce decrees are effective only from the Sate of their approval in writing. At torney B. B. Miller, who represented Mrs. Smith in obtaining separation from ber spouse, said yesterday he believed the order of Judge Fraser to him last Friday to prepare the findings sufficed to legal ise the separation of the Smiths from that day. Mrs. Smith was given a divorce decree on the grounds of desertion and her ap pearance In court to uphold her divorce complaint marked the third suit of the Smiths in Portland. "Mysterious Billy" sued her for divorce a year ago, the case being dismissed by Judge Sears. Two months later Mrs. Smith sued him for maintenance, obtaining Judgment for J37.50 a month. She stipulated later with "Myaterlous Billy" to receive a certain sura and a piece of property In lieu of support toy Installments. An order was given Friday by Judge Fraser to prepare lindlnga- la her favor, two women neigh bors corroborating desertion, as set forth in her complaint. A dispatch from Oregon City last Satur day afternoon announced that "Mysteri ous Billy" had taken out a license to wed Mies Josephine Barde and that. the mar riage ceremony was performed quietly by County Judge Grant B. Dlmlck. In such cases the statutes of Oregon permit anyone having knowledge of the tacts to prefer a charge -of bigamy against the persons concerned. Owing to the enmity that has apparently existed between "Mysterious Billy" and Mamie Smith, it Is believed the latter may be inclined to swear to a bigamy complaint. DRIVES COWS TO STATION Patrolman Roberts Freely Joked by ' Fellow Officers. After nearly 20 years In harness as a member of Portland's "finest," Patrol man Griff Roberts finally managed to signally distinguish himself as a driver of cows, when to the great delight of four or more of his fellow officers, he appeared at Second and Oak streets Sun day night, marshaling a quartet of more or less unruly young bovtnes. Heretofore the glory for conducting cattle to the central station has been equally shared by Sergeant Johnson, Patrolman Keith, Burchell, Ben Peterson and Glttlngs, and much to their relief Griff Roberts succeeded in eclipsing any previous performance of the kind on rec ord. Roberts picked up the barnyard quartet on Vancouver avenue. Unfortunately for him they were refused admittance at the Livestock: Exchange, and he was forced to parade them before, the admiring gaze of his brother officers at the station. While standing guard over his herd, amidst the pouring rain, and exoeedlngly angry over his long tramp, Roberts was forced to listen to the advice hurled at him by the heroes of former cow-marshalling escapades. Captain Slover, by means of the tele phone, finally secured quarters In a near by stable, and Patrolman Roberts was ordered to convey his "prisoners" to this place and leave them to be called for by the owners.

Tsunejl Aiba, the Japanese Vice-Consul in Portland, thinks that not much credit can be placed upon the stories ot a war plot In the Sunrise Kingdom. " He said yesterday that he does not think the Progressive party is strong enough to do anything in the way of. stirring up trou ble. 'even if It would. "Of course," Mr. Alba, said, "this party Is dissatisfied with the existing adminis tration, but,'' he added, "did you ever see a party which held to all the beliefs of their opponents? "There is considerable grumbling by the Progressives with the. way affairs are conducted in the home country and abroad,' but I do not place any credit in the stories that an uprising Is brewing. This thing is altogether new to me. The first intimation T had that anything of the kind was n the wind was what I read in the paper this morning, and I do not place much faith In it. I have had no information or instructions from the government in regard to it. "The whole trouble is that the leaders of this party want positions in the gov ernment, and naturally they will do all they can to create sentiment in their fa vor. I do not believe the government will recall Viscount Aokl, for their is no cause for such action." KISFB FOK SOUVKXIR PHOTOS. Northwest Scenery Imperial Hotel.

THREATENED BY NEIGHBORS Montavilla Woman Complains to Po lice She Fears for Her Life. - After enduring the threats of her neighbors that they would dynamite her house, and after her grandson was badly cut by boys of the neighborhood, Mrs. Mary Estes, now living at 326 Hlb bard street, appealed to the police yes terday morning for protection. Cap tain Morse sent Mounted Policeman Gustafson to the scene to investigate. It is probable that as a result some arrests will be made. Mrs. Estes owne a home that oc cupies a position at the head of Pearl street, in Montavilla, to which the neighbors greatly object, according to the story related to Policeman Gustaf son yesterday by her. She declared to the officer that she fears for her life, and demanded police protection from those whom she declares have ald they would blow up her house with dynamite, unless she moves it out of the street. According to a written report t Captain Moore by Policeman Gustaf son, Mrs. Estes purchased the ground for her home long ago, before any streets had been surveyed. For a month the neighbors have been threat ening to destroy It, she stated to the officer. Since she paid no heed to the threats Mrs. Estes says the boys of the com munity attacked her grandson ohe night recently. In a scuffle that, fol lowed, he was aeriously stabbed. He Is now lying at' his parents' home in a serious condition. Further Investigation is to be made, and the police will advise the woman to swear to complaints against those who have made threats against her and her home.
