A. 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

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

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

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.

together with all other accessories of the

portant, because of the completeness of
the evidence they secured in the fantan

in the future in securing convictions
against this class of Chinese gamblers.
This is the first time this Chinese estab

It is not more than 30 yards distant from

her money t come to Portland and after
living with her for several months, the

over her affections and the woman left
Portland and went to Tacoma with a new
lover.
Sumlda was consumed with jealous rage.

J. G. Ring, who was formerly employed
on a pile driver in the construction of
the Willamette River railroad bridge, and
who Is a resident of 8t. John, is held
at the County Jail. He will be sent to
the asylum at Salem, as he has been
adjudged insane. Ring believes that the
reason he was taken into custody was
because the physician's bill remains un
paid. For several weeks he was treated
at the Good Samaritan Hospital. He
pleads to be permitted to go home to
His wife. Ring says he was told that
a piece of timber, which was being
swung into place, struck him on the
head.
John Keith, formerly proprietor of a
Portland oyster house, is now in the
County Jail, and has volunteered to go
to the asylum without examination. He
has been in the asylum once before.
The physicians who examined him de
cided that his mind waa not sound.
