Farchi's Inaccuracy Saves His
Relatives.
WIFE NOW ASKS DIVORCE
Besides Firing Fusillade at Home ol
Molher-ln-Law. Defendant Is
Charged With Ejecting
Family From House. '
The determination of William Tell,
without the accuracy of that historic
archer, is said to be possessed by Louis
Farchl. Instead of using his talent to
secure his freedom, however, Farchl took
14 shots at his mother-in-law's house,
none of which took effect. Evidently
there was something the matter with
the repeating rifle, or Farchl- Inaccuracy
might have been due to the darkness of
the night.
It was not alone his mother-in-law
whom Farchl was trying to pepper with
bullets, but his sister-in-law -and her
finance as well. In a divorce complaint
filed in the Circuit Court yesterday by
Uelsomina Farchl she says her husband
tried to get her to artse from bed at 10
P. M. on September 11, 1906, and go with
him to her mother's house, so he could
shoot the occupants. She refused and
received a thrashing.
Farchl threw a drinking glass at his
wife In November, 1906. She dodged and
the glass hit the lamp globe and chim
ney, breaking both.
In September of the year previous, Mrs.
Farchl says, her husband pulled her out
of bed when her child was three days
old, so he could occupy It. Last Decem
ber he went bo far as to put both her
and the children out of the house.
The couple were married In Portland
October 9. 1904. and Farchi's cruelty be
gan two months later, on Christmas day,
when he beat his wife with his fists, and
followed It up with a slap on the face.
As Mrs. Farchl is no prise fighter she

FAILS TO RECOVER DAUGHTER
Mrs. Annie Foster Must File Suit
in Clackamas.
Mrs. Annie Foster's effort to gain
possession of her 7-year-old girl came
to an unsuccessful end yesterday, so
far as the Multnomah County Circuit
Court is concerned, when Presiding
Judge O'Day upheld the motion of Hat
tie Myers to quash the writ of habeas
corpus. The motion to quash was In
terposed on the ground that as the
Clackamas County Court, at Oregon
City, passed on the custody of the
child a year ago, refusing to return it
to the mother, the latter must go to
that court for redress.
It appears that Mrs. Myers took the
child, whose name is Loreta. Hoag, in
January, 1906, when the mother was ill.
Mrs. Foster now says Mrs. Myers
agreed to return the little one when
requested to do so, but that, after re
peated requests 'during the last year,
she has refused on the ground that the
mother is not able properly to care for
the girl.

rosting of Notices i Protects From
Contractors' Bills.
That the owner of a building who posts
notices in the building to the effect that
he will not pay for repairs made cannot
be compelled to pay contractors on me
chanics' liens was the decision of Judge
Cleland in the Circuit Court yesterday.
The court dismissed the complaint and
cross-complaint in the suit of Garrett
J. Eaton against the Northwest Devel
opment Company and W. D. Hotius. The
latter, who is the owner of the Cham
ber of Commerce building, let a contract

the Northwest Company. That firm pur
chased sashes, doors and other materials
from Baton, who is the proprietor of a
planing mill on the Bast Side. Eaton,
alleging that his bills are unpaid, brought
suit to foreclose a mechanics' lien against
the building. In which he failed.
Judge Cleland denied the motion of M.
L. Holbrook for a new trial of the suit
brought against him by Charles Lelner.
Leiner sued for $.1546 damages because
he leased the Holbrook brick block in
St. John for two years, and was not per-
Court Gives Dog to Mrs. McKern.
Mrs. Stella McKern will regain posses
sion of the white Spitz dog over which
there has been so much litigation. This
was the decision of Judge Cleland in the
Circuit Court yesterday morning. He
also decided that the dog is worth J50,
and that Lou Wagner must pay $S dam
ages for its detention. That portion of
the case which connected E. J. Davey
with the dog's ownership was dismissed.
Judge Cleland did not say who is the
owner of the dog, and if Davey wishes
to prove his ownership he will be obliged
to bring another suit.
Court Rules Against Drake.
J. Fran-cis Drake and M. B. Rankin
did not enter into a partnership June 12,
1896. as alleged by Drake, according to
the decision of Judge Cleland yesterday.
It will therefore be Impossible for Drake
to recover the $3000 damages which he
asked, or the appointment of a receiver.
Rankin testified that Drake invested
some money with him, and that he (Ran
kin) paid him $4000 in settlement of all
claims.

Hot Wave Has Passed, Says
Forecaster Beals.
HEAT HAS INJURED GRAIN
Rain Is Badly Needed in Interior,
Especially in Oregon Counties
Lying Along Columbia Wil
lamette Is Falling.
It will be cooler today, promises Weath
er Forecaster Beals. - The hot wave1 of
the past few days has passed, he says,
and one's heels will not go so far into the
asphalt as yesterday. In fact yesterday
was somewhat cooler than the preceding
day, although few people around town
noticed it. The greatest heat yesterday
was reached at 4 o'clock, when the of
ficial thermometer in the weather office
at the custom house stood at 90 degrees.
Then it began to recede d it was quite
comfortable long before dark.
Unfortunately, the local weather office
has no way of making comparisons of
humidity in the air here with that in the
Eastern cities. The observations here are
taken at 6 A. M. and 5 P. M.. while the
humidity carried in the atmosphere varies
greatly from hour to hour. Observations
in the cities of the Atlantic Coast cities
are taken three hours from the time they
are taken here.
So it is impossible to make accurate
comparisons between the oppresive hu
midity in the air in the East and that
here but everyone who has experienced
the heat of an Eastern Summer says the
moisture in the air there Is much greater
than on the Pacific Coast. There are
many ways of telling this, notably by the
fact that perspiration does not dry so
readily in the East as in the more dry
heat of this section of the country.
The continued dry weather is not prov
ing beneficial to the grain crop for rain
Is needed m the interior and the heat
keeps drying the soil more and more.
In the Palouse country- the latest reports
are that grain is damaged only in spots
and that the Spring grain, the Fall sown
wheat being in good shape. Fortunately
most of the grain in the Palouse was
sown last Fall. But In the tier of Ore
gon counties lying directly south of the
Columbia River, grain Is in a bad way
and needs rain badly.
Happily, Oregon soil is very reten
tive of moisture, say those who have
studied the matter, and as the dry, hot
northerly winds have been absent during
the hot spell, it is believed that not so
much damage has been done as would
have been the case had the dry winds
come up. .......
The river is receding daily at Portland
about three or four inches, the snow on
the lower levels of the mountains having
about ail melted. This is shown by the
fact that the hot weather of the past
tew days has caused no rise in the head
waters of the river and it is expected that
the Willamette at Portland will reach
Its normal stage in two weeks or less.
Hourly temperatures for the 24 hours
ending at 7 o'clock last night were as
follows: T P. M.. July 7. 88; 8-83; 9-80;
10-76; 11-73; 12-72; 1 A. M.. July g. 69;

The Postoffice Department has ordered
a pouch service on train No. 18 for
Salem, Brooks, Gervais and Canby,

benefit . to merchants at all these
points. A movement is on foot to get
regular service on train 18 with a
clerk in charge. If this prevails, all
the Valley towns between Cottage
Grove and Portland will have improved

How Horses May Escape
From Burning Barns
Joseph Bucbtel, - Veteran Fireman,
Has Plan to Drive Horses From
Stalls by Means-of Water.
Better Mail Service in Valley.
GERVAIS, Or., July . (Special.)
THOROUGHLY original and even more
humanitarian is the plan of Joseph
Buchtel, & veteran fireman, for provid
ing for the escape of horses from burning
barns. Mr. Buchtal offers the sugges
tion in order to prevent terrible suffering
to the animals and for the sake of
economy. . The idea has occurred to him
In view of the recent livery barn fires in
this city.
"Stalls In the barns should be so built,"
he says, "that a perforated Inch pipe
may extend through them at the heads of
the horses. The animals are to be
fastened with rings so attached that by
moving a lever at the end of a row of
stalls every horse is instantly released
by the moving of the long pipe. At the
same instant water is automatically turned
on through the pipes, both being accom
plished by the movement of a single lever.
"Water will drive horses from their
stalls," explained Mr. Butchel. "I would
also suggest that a hose be fastened at
the far end of the barn from which .water
may be sent through the barn and the
horses driven out after being released
from their stalls. Horses will run from
water, but strangely enough will run
staight into a fire.
"I think an ordinance should be passed
by the Council compelling the proprietors
of all barns to equip their places in some
such -manner."
Thug Is Appeased by
Flask of Whisky
Eddie Malloy Chats Sociably With
Hiarhwayiuan, and Is Rewarded by
Return of Week's Salary.
EDDIE MALLOY has enjoyed the dis
tinction of being one of Portland's
premier mixologists for some 20 years,
and Tuesday night he found his ability
to "spread the con talk" most profitable.
Incidentally Eddy also found a pint flask
of spirits of considerable assistance.
Malloy was walking to his home in
North Portland and had occasion to cut
across a vacant lot when he encountered
a bold, bad highwayman wearing a black
mask and who pointed the threatening
muzzle of a blue-barrelled revolver in the
direction of Eddy's sky-plcce. Not de
siring to become acquainted with the
contents of the weapon, Malloy obligingly
handed out his week's salary which had
reposed snugly in his trousers pocket.
The successful knight of the highway
was about to amble on when a happy
thought struck his victim.
"Say, partner, you seem to be & pretty
good sort of a fellow. Have a little nip."
and accompanying this remark Eddy
flashed the pint flask. The amber fluid
looked enticing to the roadagent, and
he accepted the Invitation.
The two sat down on a nearby log and
began to swap stories of their past life.
while engaged in the task of quaffing
the contents of the little bottle. The
spirits contained in the flask seemed to
put the highwayman in good humor and
incidentally in a mood as generous as
that of his victim. After taking the last
drag at the little bottle the highwayman
remarked:
"Old sport, I don't Intend that you shall
have anything on me in this good-fellowship
buslass. Much as I need the money
here's your coin." and he handed Malloy
his week's wages and started to go.
Malloy halted the thug and handed him
dollar with the remark: "Friend, you
must have needed the money or you
wouldn't have held me up. Take this
case, it will get you a room and a feed
in the morning."
"You can bet I need the money. Thank
you and I'm glad I didn's take your coin
for there's worse men than you in the
world, who have more and can spare it.
So long. " And the highwayman depart
ed on his way. Eddie watched him a mo
ment, and then with his heart rejoicing,
at his good luck the first in many moons
he wended his way rapidly to his home,
where he related his experience -to his in
valid wife. Mailoy's friends got hold ol
the story and commenced its circulation.
When asked about it, he smilingly con
firmed it.

When others faltered and grew pale,
facing fearful odds, this intrepid old
Puritan Commander remained strong
hearted, steadfast and true. His tavern,
known to fame as the "GENERAL
WOLFE," was (in its day) a celebrated
meeting place for Revolutionary
veterans.
In its cozy bar parlor they delighted
to periodically gather and drink with
him the foaming juices of the malt;
toasting each other in memory of the
splendid and heroic days when they
gave blood and treasure to found this
