Piqueson, Free One Hour, Threatens Family With ' Death Once More. LONG SENTENCE JUST OVER Victim of Insane Jealousy Accuses Wlf of Trying to Supplant Him In Her Affections Cracks In the l.id. Jes Immjr b1d fair to keep A I bert Piqueron, of 2M 8econd street, in jail in real oi nis me. iter oeing out jail exactly one hour, following a term nf ) flays at Kelly's Putte for threaten In his wife, with death. Piqtieron wsa ajraln arrested shortly before noon yes terday for throwing his household in a turmoil while In a jealous rase. lie ran his wife out of the house, drove his daughter into a garret room, where she barricade the door to prevent him from getting In. and threatened to kill them before the day was errded. Fiquernn. who owns valuable corner property on Second street, admits his jealousy of in wir, who is considerably younger than he. He persists In saying that shft had transferred her affection to another and younger man. and Is trying to get rid of him In the hope of getting poweaalon of his property. This charge, the cause of domestic trouble in the household for some months past, is in dignantly denied by Mrs. Flqueron. Krinds of the man say he la Insanely jealou. but without just cause. Threaten Wife With Death. Two months ago he created a dis turbance and threatened his wife with dath. As that was not his first offense. Judge Cameron decided to give Jnim a lesson he would not soon forget. Sixty days imprisonment at bard labor was the penalty Inflicted and Flqueron waa told ha might expect an even more severe sentence should he ever return on a sim ilar charge. Therefore It would seem that the hapless victim of jealousy is reasonably certain of a Job breaking rock for the county during the next two or even three months. Ptqueron was released from Kelly's Butte at 10:30 o'rlock yesterday morn ing. H went at once to th carllne and proceeded to his home, arriving there shortly after 11 o'clock. In a very few minutes neighbors heard a commotion. Then they saw Mrs. Flqueron running from the house and heard her husband railing after her that he would kill her. He accused his wife openly of plotting to get his property, worth several thou sand dollars, so that she mLght leave h'm for a younger man. The police were called and Flqueron was arrested on his way out of the house. Hi arrest occurred at 11:., just one hour after his release from the rockplle stockade. Tn his pocket was found a bottle containing a peculiar mix t'lr ,of laudanum and whisky, which Is said to he his favorite mixture. He was taken to the City Jail and looked up rending his trial before Judge Cameron, which will occur possibly today. Some Places Wet, Some Dry, While many peonle were complaining of the excessive wetness of primary election riiy, many others were lament ing at the dryness thereof. The polls opened at noon and at the same hour the saloons eloped. Improvident slaves of rum had little thought to lay In a stork to tide them over the dry period, as per Saturday night, and there waa wide suffering. Although the police kept a close watch for saloonkeepers who might endeaor to carry on a little clan destine traffic, none such were found. And yet ther was a leak some place for in the middle of the afternoon V. t. . Waiklns broke loose down Third street shouting the names of a few candidates favored by him, "Whether he got his In spiration from the hip-pocket flask of one of the enterprising candidates In question or from some stealthy ginmill csn only he conjectured. Wat kins wasn't alone, either, for along toward 4 o'clock W. H. Miller happened along Ptark street on an electioneering cruise. He was so heavily jagged, however, that his cam paign consisted of little more than gur gles and an occasional expression. In thick accents, on the mertis of State ment No. 1. Murphy Among the Missing. Mrs. David A. Murplfy Is very much worried about Mr. Murphy. He left home Thursday morning to meet some friends at the St. Charles Hotel. He didn't re turn for lunch, for dinner, or for breakfast- yesterday morning At dinner hour last night he was still missing Mrs. Murphy feared foul play and furnished the police with a minute description of hr husband, yesterday forenoon, to gether with his latest photograph. Mrs. C C. Alhrlght, of 2f4 McMilllan street, suffered the loss of a combina tion purse yesterday afternoon contain , tng rings valued at fL'nO. The disarpear- I a nee of these rings a mystery as Mrs. Albright described the occurrence , to the police. i She was out shopping, with the purse 'securely fastened in her shopping bag. She did not remove the purse from the hag nor did she open the bag. Further more there was nothing to indicate that it had- been opened by anyone else and as It waa aecurely fastened close to her wrist Mrs. Albright satcf It wouldn't have been possible for a thief to get into the bag without attracting her attention or leaving some visible trace of the de predation. Nevertheless the purse and the. rings were mlasing when she reached home. 1 While sure that she couldn't have lost her jewelry or that It couldn't have been ' stolen she waa quite sure It was gone I and asked the police to take up the ravel, which they promised to do. RUSH WORK ON BRIDGE Structure at Iewlsion Will ' Be Ready for Excursion. J. F. O'Frien, genera! manager for the Harrlman lines in this territory, returned yesterday from a trip to Lewiston over the new Rlparia cutirft and to Hunting ton over the main line of the O. R. A X. Mr. O'Brien says additional forces were put to work yesterday on the bridge at lewiston eo that the structure will be completed In time for the special ex cursion to lewiston from Portland on May to cross. Riveters are busy on the structure, which will be a handsome one. "The new line fs practically completed.' said Mr. O'Brien yesterday. "Ballasting remains to be accomplished on most of the line, but this is going ahead. I am sure no difficulty will he experienced in running the special excursion train over the cutoff on May . "I am hopeful that the rains extend over Eastern Oregon for my trip showed that more moisture is needed to put tlie growing crops in good shape. A food DKOP GIRL STENOGRAPHERS Auditor HlalsdeU, of O. R. & X. Pre fer to Have Male Help. Six girl stenographers will be dropped from the office force of Ralph Blaisdll, auditor for the Harrlman lines in the Pacific Northwest. The change will be made not because they are not good stenographers, but because it Is the pol Icy of the head of the department to have only male stenographers in the office. The girls will not be discharged, but their places will be filled with men as they drop out. Auditor Blalsdell - declines to give any reasons ' for the change, other than that he prefers to have men to do the work now performed by girls. There Is no question -as to the ability of the women to take the dictation of the railroad of flelals and write their letters for them as well as keep the secrets religiously that naturally come to them in the course of their duties. The order Just Issued Is not a reflection In any way upon the qualifications of the girls or their ability. Already some offices of the Harrlman railroads here have only men stenog raphers. General Manager O'Brien has not a single girl around his office. The auditor's off Ire is an important one, and the substitution of men for girls will make it more like the plan by which Gen eral Manager O'Brien's office Is cm an aged. There is no danger of the change be coming genera! In the Wells-Fargo build lng. In the first place. It would cost a great deal more to get the work done. Oirla do the same work for less money than men stenographers, for more occu pattons are open to men and special In ducements have to be made In the way of salary to keep a man In the position of stenographer. Other departments of the railroad disclaim any Intention of making any changes In their stenographers. "There will be no change In this de partment," said a freight official of the allied lines yesterday. "We could not get male stenographers enough If we wanted them. Besides, we could not get along without the girl stenographers we have now. They are trained in the work and are very valuable assistants." More than one official swears by his stenographer and says that without her the business of the office could not be bandied with half the success that it now is. Any intention of changing to men is farthest from their thoughts. BIG CROWD FDR LEWISTON LIST OP EXCURSIONISTS IN CLUDES 9 0 MEN.

The police consider this raid Im portant, because of the completeness of the evidence they secured in the fantan game, and consider that it will help them in the future in securing convictions against this class of Chinese gamblers.
