Oscar Hail Prosecutes Himself in Police Court for Drunkenness. MULTNOMAH FIELD PLACE BEFORE STOCK TAKING METHODS TRULY SPARTAN IV mm mmm Calls In Police When John Barley' corn Gets Upper Hand White Must Explain Rudeness to Bill Collector. Oscar W. Hall, a young man who says he does not understand himself thorough ly, was in the Municipal Court yester day forenoon on a charge of disorderly conduct, which he filed against himself. By .his own testimony he was found guilty and a small fine was imposed. Though the case would seem to be an unusual one. Hall, nevertheless, is a normal Individual and his lack of un derstanding of himself and his absence of self control are only well denned forms of a common ailment. The only difference betveen the young man and hundreds of the same mental makeup is that he had honesty enough to openly admit his wrongdoings. The case is one of the very few of the kind that has ever been called io the attention of the authorities. It seems that last Sunday night. Hall begT drinlcins from a bottle of whisky h had purchased Saturday to tide him over the day of closed saloons. It Is nothing unusual for him to drink, but in the past he has found that consider able danger attaches itself to excessive drinking from the fact that he is never able to tell in ad vance just how the liquor is going to affect him. Some- imes it has no un pleasant effect, and other times it arouses his combatl tiveness or destruc tlveness. Sunday night he drank freely. At the time he was in his Xjffitr vnJ room at a Seventh- s i r e e i uuaruiug house. Presently he became seized with an lrresistable desire to break the furniture, so he says. The desire was overwhelming and he knew it could not be fought oft very long. Mr. Hyde's control over the unfortunate Dr. Jeykl was no more complete than the mastery of alcohol upon this young man's overwrought nerves. The average man of his type would have proceeded to break up the furniture, fight with anybody who tried to Interfere and eventually have landed In Jail for art uncomfortable period. Never a day 'passes that some case such as this Is not reported and frequently a dozen incidents of that kind occur within a few hours. Knowing he could not resist himself much longer, Hall went to the telephone and asked for the police station. "There's a drunken man here and I'm afraid he's going to get violent," Hall said to Captain Slover. That officer at once sent a policeman and the patrol wagon to the place. They arrived to find a young man pacing unsteadily up and down in front of the boarding-house. "Who wanted the police," asked the officer. "It was me phoned," said Hall, forget ful of his grammer. "I'm drunk and afraid of myself I want to be locked up or I'll do more damage. I've already broken some of the things in my room." Assuring himself that he was dealing with a drunken man, rather than a luna tic, the officer took Hall down to Second and Oak street and stowed him away in the sobering-up chamber. Now anyone that Is Inclined to accuse Hall of being foolish should first reflect that had the young man not sent for the police he must later have yielded to the desire to break things. Whisky does Btranger things than that with Its hapless victims. And by breaking the furniture he would have landed in jail shortly on a charge that would have earned him at least a month. As it was he got credit for causing his own arrest and received only the mini mum fme of 2. It appears that Arthur White, a wood yard proprietor, went through bankrupt cy in order to escape the attentions of certain troublesome bill collectors. It is said that he has a pet aversion to that form of pest. F. Mosier confirms the report that the woodyard man is not fond of bill col lectors. Mosier Is a bill collector. In calling at the wood ward to present claim he met with a reception that is not prescribed by any authentic work on etiquette. He says he was thrown bod- ily out of the place and that White not only hit him below the belt, but per-l performed the feat with his feet, thus adding indignity to Injury. Of course, there is a conflict of ver sions as to Just how and why this all happened, each lay ing the blame on the other. There was a woman in the place who witnesedl the performance and she will be called today as an expert to settle the matter. Ed Nelson, a young fellow, who lately was accused of helping to murder a sa loonkeeper named Lindgren and subse Uuently exonerated, was on hand yester day forenoon on a charge considerably more serious In some regards than that of murder, upon which he was last tried. At the time of the murder trial It was noted that a woman of the redlight dis trict was furnishing Nelson with money, flowers and attentions. She visited his cell frequently and rejoiced openly when he was released. Now It is charged that she has been supporting him since his acquittal, early last Winter. The police arrested him because It was known he has been doing no work, preferring to hang around sa loons and worse places with, a sort of "See me, they say I killed a man" air. Judge Cameron found the evidence suf ficient to hold the young man to the Cir cuit Court for trial. n III ' r iimm wsm mm Fairbanks Mingles With Greeks. CHICAGO, July 22.

By intelligent management he cleared J17.000 out of his investment. He then embarked in the general mercantile busi ness with E. S. Brubaker and continued a member of the firm up till his death. Mr. Kay has had charge of the post office from the time he entered the firm, although Mr. Brubaker was the post master. He also served as school clerk. Through . all the years of his relations with the public through the Mount Tabor postoffice and also through his business connections, Mr. Kay built up a reputa tion for Integrity. ' His partners and his many friends feel that in his death they have sustained a personal loss. Mr. Kay was a prominent member of the Central Baptist Church of East Portland. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. A. L. Morgan and Miss Ida Kay. The funeral will he held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from his late home. HEAD OF FOSSIL SCHOOL H. Ii.

(Special.) Hay ing Is on with full force throughout Har ney County and the meadows are yielding heavy crops. With few exceptions the alfalfa fields made an exceptional growth this year, while the iative grasses are unusually good. Men are In strong de mand for this work at good wages and even women are making big money driv ing mowers, rakes and stackers. The grain crops are also showing up well. There was a favorable rainfall during June and during the critical period there was no damaging frost, so the en tire season has been encouraging for the farmer. The Fall grain la well along toward ripening and the Spring grain wheat, barley, rye, etc., has a strong growth, with a heavy head. It is really a pleasing sight to see fields wherein the sagebrush stood at the open ing of last Spring that are now undulat ing waves of bending grain promising a rich harvest. The fruit has all done well this year and there will be more berries, apples, pears and apricots than ever before in the valley. HAXFORD OUT OF FAIR BOARD Federal Judge Fears There Will Be Litigation, so Cuts Himself Free. SEATTLE, Wash., July 22. (Spe cial.) Federal Judge C. H. Hanfora today resigned as a trustee and mem ber of two committees for the Alaska-Tukon-Paclficv Exposition corporation. As explained by Judge Hanford to his closest friends the resignation is prompted by a feeling that the expo sition may become lnvoivea in liti gation that would have to be heard in his court and he wants to remain free from any entanglement that woula prevent his hearing it. Because of his chairmanship of the legislative com mittee he asked Judge Edward Whit eon of the Eastern Washington District to hear the Lake Union and Lake Washington Shore land cases. Horses Die of Strange Disease. ST. JOB, Idaho, July 22. (Special.) All over the St. Joe and St. Maries country an unknown disease is afflicting the horses, several prominent veterinarians have visited and treated the animals but say they do not understand the disease, and it is beyond their power to cure. The horses are first affected in the feet or where the tender parts of the hoof meets the flesh; as the disease develops small sores appear, finally extending over the entire body, resulting finally in death. Whenever a horse lies down or presses against an object the place of contact breaks out Into running sores. The authorities have been forced to kill many horses to put them out of their suffering.
