Bungling Bros. Circus
at tha Y. M. C. A.
BUNGLING BROTHERS have come to
town. The Y. M. C. A. last night
was crowded with an audience dear to
the heart of the circus man. Father,
mother, children, all were there applaud
ing to the echo every item of the stu
pendous galaxy of stars gathered together
by Larry Larimore Bungling, director-in-chief
of the show.
The introductory pageant surpassed
anything ever before presented on' the
Pacific Coast, comprising the world-renowned
elephant Chickeeta, and Rubber
neck the giraffe, who, with the monkeys,
were the sole members of their vast me
nagerie that Messrs. Bungling dared to
exhibit In the small space at their dis
posal. The Canoe Club members, bearing
aloft a canoe in which were seated two
little tots, drew rapturous applause from
the babies of the audience.
The two vast circus rings and spacious
stage were crowded with performers, per
fect even to their very gestures. One
item followed another in such rapid suc
cession that the eyes of the audience were
dazed as they attempted to watch stage
and rings all at the same niomBnt.
Major Reed, described as fencing expert
of Ireland, gave a sabre display that
merited applause. As a second William
Tell, cutting in twain an apple placed on
the neck of his assistant. Miss Sehab. he
thoroughly showed his skill. Major Reed
was followed by the Larimore Brothers,
an accomplished trio in pryamid building
and acrobatics. This is evidently not the
first time the Larimore Brothers have
appeared in circus work. Hale and Pen
son gave an exhibition of barrel jump
ing as It should be done the while. A
charming troupe of ladies from the Y.
W. C. A. in athletic exploits on the .par
allels quite captured the hearts of the
audience.
In a darkened house Sprague. Nichols
and Spooner whirled blazing clubs amidst
the gasps of somewhat terrified onlookers.
The two star performances of the even
ing now followed In rapid succession.
Had the great Daley heard the admiring
comments of the ladies he could not have
given a performance -more calculated to
please, some of his exploits on the sus
pended rings being of a character not
to be seen in professional circles. Amidst
a hush the rings were now occupied by
two troupes of Greek gods performing a
series of the most amazing pyramids. It
was incomprehensible to be creditably as
sured they were only (sic) amateurs.
Larlmore's troupe of ladderltes, from the
Land of the Rising Sun, apparently were
as competent ih their own line.
The hippodrome sensation of the even
ing was the' great Ben Hur chariot race.
The enormous chariots, drawn by their
four spirited horses, were understood K
have been specially obtained from the old
Roman coliseum. WTe think It unwise to
expose the audience to the considerable
danger this race involved. The Y. -M. C.
A. is certainly not the place for horses as
spirited as these.
The man vs. horse race was unfortun
ately for the sympathies of the audience
won by the horse and Jockey, but the
loser put up a good. show.
Prior to the circus the audience was
assured that all the performers were
from the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.'s. and
we are compelled perforce to accept An
nouncer Paul Rader's word for this. We
ourselves scarcely credit it. Ring Masters
Grilley and Hale were as smart as the
ring masters of yore. These gentlemen
must, however, give their hats the neces
sary cock that proclaims their vocation.
But you manipulated those whips ably,
gentlemen.
As something superior to anything Port
land has ever had presented it behooves
every one to take the children to the final
performance tonight. One thousand laughs
are guaranteed.
SENTENNA HAD AN ENEMY
Brother of Portuguese Musician
Thinks He Was Murdered.
Information tending to show that F. G.
Sentenna. a Portuguese musician, was
murdered at the Oaks hotel last Decem
ber was placed in the hands of the police
yesterday and Is now being given an
investigation.
Sentenna was found dead in his room
at the Oaks hotel early in the forenoon.
In his revolver, firmly held, one chambor
was empty and fclie caliber corresponded
to the bullet-hole in the man's head. No
motive for suicide was known. S. G.
Sentenna, a brother of the dead man,
notified the police that the victim had
tried' to borrow a revolver the day be
fore, saying lie was being followed and
feared violence from an enemy. Sen
tenna had come from Seattle two days
before, quitting a good position for no
reason that he' would make, known.
The brother received a letter yester
day from Seattle stating that Sentenna
left Seattle in fear of an enemy who had
threatened his life because of an esca
pade 1n which a' woman was involved.
Sentenna was known to hate been madly
In love with a Seattle woman. He was
seen with her frequently up to three or
four months ago, when he told several
close friends that he had been threatened
with death should he ever dare visit or
telephone the woman again. ,
In view of this Information Sentenna's
brother concluded that the. case may
have been one of murder rather than
suicide. He recalled the request for a
revolver and the story of an unknown
enemy. Captain Bruin was notified and
he detailed an. officer on the case. The
theory was advanced that Sentenna may
have been drugged, sho.t and the fatal
revolver placed in his hands.

supposed was coal orl. The oil ex
ploded and she was fatally burned.

compromise verdict. The case Is to be
appealed to the Supreme Court by the
oil company.
DIVORCE COURT GRIST LIGHT
But One Decree Is Granted by the
State Circuit Court.-
But one divorce was granted In the
Circuit Court yesterday. Pearl Mc
Neal poured into Judge 0'Days ear a
tale of cruelty which, began with the
charge that her husband. Claude, had
falsely accused her of being untrue to
him, and ended with the' statement
that he had written her an obscene
letter threatening to kill her. The
court granted the divorce with $23
a month alimony.
Daniel C. Cunmings has filed suit
against Maggie Cummings, asking a
divorce and naming one Goodes as co
respondent. Goodes recently pleaded
guilty to a statutory charge before
Judge Gantenbeln, and was immedi
ately given a sentence of one year and
paroled. The case against the woman
was dismissed. The Cummings were
married In Portland, March 17, 1904.
They have one child, Catherine, 3 years

ment. The viewers ordered her to pay

than a year in a house in which he had
a half Interest without paying him any
rent, and that she finally sold the prop
erty for $3000 without his consent, and
kept the proceeds. He says the property,
lot 14, block L, Arbend's addition, Al
bina, was worth $4000. -He demands judg
ment to the amount of $1800.

A verdict for the defendant was ren
dered by the jury in Judge 0"Day's de
partment of the Circuit Court in the
suit of Oscar Newquist against the
Willamette Iron & Steel Works to recover

ARRESTED AS HGRSE THIEF
Richard Lynch, J. F. Hawkes' Al
leged Accomplice, in Jail.
Richard Lynch, charged with steal
ing a horse from M. Di Lee,' a farmer
at Holbrook, was arrested yesterday
on the East. Side by Sheriff Stevens
and Deputy Vrank Beatty and ,lodged
in the County Jail. This arrest, -it is
believed, will end the wholesale
stealing of horses from farmers living
in all parts of the county that has
been going on of late. Lynch Is be
lieved to have been operating with
J. F. Hawkes, who Was sentenced to
the penitentiary Thursday by Judge
Gantenbeln, having pleaded guilty.
At least this is said to be the state
ment made by Hawkes, and It is the
belief of Deputy District Attorney
Haney that there is now evidence
enough to convict Lynch of at least
one of the numerous crimes laid at
his door.
Lee's horse rwas recovered last Fall
In Lynch's wood camp, near Hogan,
the first station beyond Gresham on
the Estacada line. At that time, how
ever, the evidnnce against the man
was not thought to be strong enough
to sequre conviction. Both Hawkes
and Lynch were businessmen of good
standing -in the community. When
Hawkes was first arrested and placed
behind the bars, members of the Port
land police department were ready to
vouch for him, so confident were they
that he was not guilty.
Hawkes did not plead guilty to his
thefts until the net of evidence had
been woven so closely that there was
no chance for him to escape punish
ment. Then he pleaded guilty that
his sentence might be shortened.
FIRE CHIEF IS OPPOSED
Automatic Alarm Company Should
Not Use City Wires.
"Xf the National Automatic. Fire
Alarm Company wishes to do business
in Portland. I believe it should install
its own system and establish Its own
headquarters, and not use the wires
of the Fire Department," declared
Chief Campbell, addressing the mem-"
bers of the streets committee of the
City Council yesterday afternoon. The
application of the company for a fran
chise was under - discussion. . Chief
Campbell's theory is based on yie facts
as he learned thera. Councilman
Kellaher Introduced a number of let
ters from chiefs of fire departments In
many large American cities, all of
which were to the effect that it Is un
wise to allow any company to have
the use of the city's wires. The com
mittee will resume consideration of the
matter at a special meeting next Fri
day afternoon.
R. W. Montague, the company's, at
torney, argued that the automatic fire
alarm has been a great protection to
the city and has. proved its worth In
many instances.' but Chief Campbell
said that there had been but two cases
within recent years It had been of
service. He said It has been a source
of constant trouble, 90 per cent of Its
alarms being false.
BURGLARIZE BENHAM HOME
Cracksmen Ivoot Residence in Ab
sence of Family From City.
The home of "W. L. Benham, at Twenty
sixth and Hancock streets, was burglar
ized early yesterday morning. The fam
ily was away and the house was fairly
turned upside down. A complete inven
tory of all that was taken has not yet
been made.
A suit case belonging to Mr. Benham
was carried into the street and ripped
open with a pocketknife. . Neighbors saw
the house had been robbed and notified
the police. Mrs. Benham and family
are in California. Mr. Benham was
unable to say what had tx?en taken last
night, but the loss. Is probably, consider
able. Another burglary on Thursday night
was reported to the police last night by
Mrs. Laws, residing at S05 Williams ave
nue. In this house the- burglars stole a
pocketbook containing $14,60.
EARLY SWIMMING SEASON
Boys Go Bathing in Willamette and
Break AH Records.
Yesterday was the first really
Springlike day, and a number of boys
decided that the swimming season
had arrived and went bathing in the
Willamette River. The air was balmy
and they, dove and splashed about in
the cool -waters, using a log boom at
the North Pacific Lumber Company's
mill as a place to undress and dress.
This is believed to be the record. As
a rule, boys begin to go swimming
in March or April, but heretofore Feb
ruary has been regarded as somewhat
early for bathing In the river, even
for the small boys, who are the de
spair of the policemen, who seek to
preserve municipal regulations against
