Inmate of Poor Farm Said to Have licit SHOO Estate and Lawyer ' May Be Prosecuted. Worth $50 before his admittance to the County Farm last September and known to have spent little or none of the money. Joseph Wright died without a penny, all his wealth disappearing mysteriously from the Peninsula Bank, at St. Johns. J. A. Henderson, son-in-law of the aged county charge, blames an attor ney of St. Johns for drawing the money br check from the bank without au thority. Investigation was begun by the County Court yesterday morning and the little evidence on hand indi cates that a complaint alleging forg ery and embezzlement will be the re sult. The son-in-law was advised to ob tain all checks on which his father-in-law's money was rid by the bank. When this evidence Is obtained the subject will be put before th. January Brand Jury. It U believed that Mr. Wright did not sustain the loss of his money while a county ward, as in taking the pauper's oath he declared he had no money In the hank and was possessed of no real estate. It developed later that the aged roan's money was drawn from the hnk mysteriously. He died at the County Farm September 28. 1910. having been admitted to the in stitution about five months before. AS he was a county charge at the time of his death his son-in-law appealed to the County Court, that the case might be investigated. The evidence submitted was turned over to Deputy District Attorney Garland.- This con sisted principally of the son-in-law's statement and the grounds for his sus picion that a St. Johns' attorney is re sponsible for the disappearance of the money. Mr. Henderson said that he was sure his father-in-law had a large sum be fore he announced his Intention to enter the County Farm and that the old man In visiting hi grandchildren fre quently referred to money be had In the Peninsula Bank. If it Is found that sufficient evidence is at hand to show that Mr. Wright had been defrauded of his savings, an ad ministrator will be appointed, that the County Court may authorize prosecu tion of those responsible for the al leged embezzlement.

Mrs. Bostick Scratched and Bruised and Loose Hair Is Left at Home by Miss Brumfield. A hobble skirt, scorched so that it threatened to give away when con stricted around the willowy form of the owner, was the object of contention over which Mrs. Maud Adair Bostick and Miss Ella Brumfield contended In Miss Brumfield's dressmaking establishment at 345 Yamhill street Tuesday, on ac count of which they found themselves in Municipal Court yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Bostick showed the skirt to a man friend, who said: "Isn't that ter rible!" Then she went out for satisfac tion. Somehow, Miss Brumfield's val uable vase got smashed. The women clinched. Miss Brumfield, the defend ant, testified: "When she smashed my vase I tried to put her out. I worked one time in an Insane asylum and I thought she ought to be handled as we handled patients. So I tried to "strong-arm" her. She twisted one hand in my ;riair and reached for a hatpin with the other. In tho scuffle she accidentally got scratched." Mies Brumfield used Deputy District Attorney Hennessy as a dummy to IN lustrate how, she said, Mrs. Bostick had made right and left swings at her head, and that official had to dodge briskly to protect his threatened nose. Miss Brumfield said that her opponent was not so easily handled as an insane person and that she herself was not in training for a fist fight. Her assistant and Mrs. Bostick's friend finally pried them apart and disentagled Mrs.. Bos tick's hande from Miss Brumfield's hair. Mrs. Bostick. exhibited scratches on her face and neck. "I don't see any marks on you." said Hennessy to the defendant. "No," she replied, "but I've got a wad of loose hair In my bureau at home that I didn't think to bring along." Six jurors found that Miss Brumfield waa defending her domiciliary rights and was not guilty of assault Marlon Grand Jury Indicts Ten. SALEM, Or., Dec. 80. (Special.)
