Estacadan Fails to Prosecute for Alleged Theft of Watch. Bill Irwin, accused of stealing- a watch from J. O. Linn, was discharged from custody in Municipal Court yesterday, while Linn was held for $5 costs, be cause, after wasting two Jays of the court's time, he showed great unwilling ness to prosecute the case. Linn came to the city recently from Estacada and proceeded to have a joy ous time. He was soon helplessly In toxicated and Irwin, who was an old ac quaintance, relieved him of his watch. Irwin says that he did so because he felt sure that Linn would lose it otherwise. That he made no secret of the fact that lie had it was shown by the testimony of the proprietress of the roomlng-hoUBe in which Linn stayed, who said that Irwin had told her that he had the watch for safe-keeping. Irwin says that Linn was relieved of his money by two women. With the watch, Irwin took a wallet con taining a deed for some land, which men tioned a consideration of 570O. The case was called for trial Saturday, but before it was reached on the docket Linn tired of waiting in the courtroom and disappeared. Just before the court adjourned he re appeared in a highly intoxicated condi tion, and postponement was had until yesterday, Irwin being released on his recostnizance. In the time intervening before the trial yesterday Irwin had seen Linn, giving him a grilling for his in gratitude. As a result, the prosecuting witness made a pitiable spectacle on the stand yesterday, "giving but little evi dence, and that unwillingly. He was denounced on all sides, by Irwin's and by tne state s attorneys, and was assessed the costs of the case.
