De tails of the Incident were not revealed until yesterday, when United States Marshal Montag asked the reason lor his deputy's tardiness from duty on the eventful day. MacSwain took his vacation about two weeks ago and borrowed a dog from Dave Fuller to guard his home during his absence. MacSwain returned late last Monday night. He crept into the house and awakened no one. The fol lowing morning he arose, and. after breakfast, started to leave for work. Then, for the first time, he remembered borrowing the watchdog. The dog re fused to allow him to leave the place. For more than an hour MacSwain was kept prisoner. He attempted to bribe the animal, coaxed him and cajoled him, but all in vain. Finally Mrs. Mac Swain. who had been at a neighbor's house, returned. She held the animal while MacSwain made his escape. When MacSwain returned home that night he faced another difficulty. The dog was standing guard at the gate and refused to allow MacSwain to en ter. An hour later Mrs. MacSwain. who was attracted to the front door HOTEL CLERK, NOW LAW- YER, TO REPRESENT SEA t FARING CLIENTS. ; : Fred W. Herman.

Scott appeared In Municipal Court yesterday morning charged with hav ing offered Mr. and Mrs. John Bell an auto mall route In Canada with $100 a month salary attached. If they would become settlers.

Offlclii la Want Courts to Say How Soon Property May Go to Pay for Street Improvements. BOARD TURNS DOWN DIECK Temporary Appointments Can Never Be Permanent, Is Ruling. Temporary appointments to positions in the city service made pending the holding of a civil service examination, never can result in the temporary em ploye becoming a permanent employe. This was the ruling yesterday of the Municipal Civil Service Board. The question came up in the case of R. S. Leabo. an employe under Commissioner Irlirtr Mr. Leabo has been kept on the city's payroll for several years under tem porary appointment, there being no civil service eligible list for the po sition. Mr. Dleck asked the board to make the appointment permanent. The board decided this could not be done. Mr. Leabo will have to take an examination. Borrowed Watchdog Keeps Man In, Holds Him Out. Deputy United States Marshal Mae Swala'a Experience Recalled Wkea He Explains Tardiness. TO be detained for several hours within his own home by a dog he had borrowed to guard his residence from Intruders was the experience of William MacSwain. Deputy United To test out the right of the city to sell property within 90 days after the improvement assessments have become delinquent. City Treasurer Adams will offer for sale a large part of the Kings Heights Realty Syndicate's tract in the heights on the West Side. The Syndicate has improvements bonded with the city for $128,000. Since the lien was laid only one of the an nual installments has been paid. Two remain unpaid. The city will sell the property for enough to cover the bonded Indebtedness with interest at per cent for two and one-half years. When the sale Is made, the syndi cate may bring suit to enjoin the city or to nullify the sale. This will force to an issue the question of delinquency In bonded Indebtedness, opening the way for a test case in the Circuit and Supreme Courts. At present the city Is facing a serious problem in the matter of handling the $13,000,000 in improvement bonds out standing. To. maintain its financial standing the city has to pay the in terest on the bonds promptly as they fall due and the money has to be raised by the Installments and Interest paid in by the property owners for the street and sewer improvements. Tn thousands of cases, payments ! have become delinquent and the city has had to take the interest money from the general fund. It has been the opinion that the city could not sell the property until the end of ten years when the out standing bonds mature. This view of the proposition is disputed by city officials, who wish to have the ques tion threshed out In the courts. BANK TO BRING DUO BACK Police Fund Gone, Institution Sup plies Sum to Return Oouple. Because the state fund for the return of refugees from Justice is exhausted and there is no way of getting more money until the next Legislature, a Portland bank has donated money to bring back E. H. Carpenter and Kota Pierce Helm, known as "June the Blonde," who are alleged to have cir culated in Portland spurious checks to the amount of more than $2000. Captain of Detectives Baty probably will leave today for Los Angeles to bring back the pair. Carpenter and "June the Blonde" were arrested last week. The third member of the gang, believed to be George Hammond, is still at large. Hammond is alleged to have shot a Pinkerton detective in Los Angeles last Saturday. Visiting Elk Serenaded. j W.
