Nearly every one of the 11 passengers of the launch Rose that nearly foundered in the. surf In crossing the bar yesterday afternoon. Is bruised, or nervous and ill as the result of the exciting experience. From the stories told by the passengers It appears that three were washed over board and that It was due to the heroism and coolness of H. G. Mapes and Arthur Allen, two of the passengers, that any of them was saved. By throwing out life lines and buoye they rescued H. G. Hamp ton. Mrs. O. W. Peterson and G.

"The captain was repeatedly urged by the passengers to go in, but to use very precaution," said Mr. Mapes. "Mr Hampton was overboard twice. I was under the boat and 60 feet from It. Somebody below me had a death srrin on my leg. The boat turned clear over and I could sea it above me." The passengers who were on board the Rose were G. C. Mapes, W. I. Mapes, H. G.

Mrs. Petorson, who was 20 feet under water and washed SO feet from the Rose, gives credit to H. O. Mapes, who threw her a life line, for her rescue, fahe exonerates Captain Johns. Others who say the captain acted upon the request -of the passengers are Connie Johns, A. W. Plokias. G. c. Mapes. H O. Mapss and Miss Edna Mapes. Mr Ballard says he was shut In the cabin 5,1 , i? to can what happened. His left leg was sllg-htly Injured. Mrs. U. C. Mapes, whose hand was cut by broken glass, says she was frightened", but not too much to be amused when captain Johns called for someone to look out for his hat. Captain Johns has been instrumental in helping other boats in trouble on the bar. He once towed the Condor in from Soal Rocks, and recently offered assistance to the launch Eagle, which the lifesavlng crew saved by hard row ing against sea and tide. , The Rose is " .V,Vered condltIn. but the engine is sUll in commission. How the little vessel and the crew and passengers escaped destruction is a marvel to those on board and to the crew of the lifesavlng station. t " ' ' 1 case of T. K. Anderson, J. K.

ST. HELENS, Or.. June 15. (Special.) -The trial of J. K. (Toots) Blakesley, charged with attempted extortion in sending blackmailing letters to E. E Quick, treasurer of Columbia Countyj was today postponed until the October term of court. Blakesley's bail, which had been fixed at 200 and which he put up in cash, was raised to $1000. It is believed he will be able to provide a sufficient bond. Blakesley has employed Henry E. Mc Ginn, ot Portland, to defend him, but Mr. McGinn is now on his bridal tour and asked for a continuance. Blakesley wanted a continuance at the time the trial was set for June 15, but Judge Campbell refused to take the subject up at that time. According to Quick's story he has paid to Blakesley in extortion money 600 in the last three years. His story is that Blakesley approached him with a proposition that an ex-convict. Jack McCarty, would blow up the Columbia County Courthouse and burn it, and that Quick could then sell his abstract records to the county for a large sum, the three to divide the proceeds. Quick asserts that when he refused to go Into the plot threats purporting to come from McCarty against his life were made through Blakesley and bj letter, and that he' paid over $600 to appease McCarty. Afterwards he says he became convinced that Blakesley was acting alone and took the matter up with the last grand jury. Blakesley was bailiff to the grand Jury that in dicted him.
