Dick Dengess, proprietor of the Nob
Hill saloon, at 541 Washington street,
was Bhot through the right lung- last
night by an unmasked holdup man,
who, with his partner, also unmasked,
held the eight or ten men who were in
the saloon at the points of - revolvers
while they ciawed the money out of
the cash register, and then dashed out
of the building and disappeared, up
Couch street.
Both of the holdup men were well
dressed, according to the somewhat
scanty descriptions that the occupants
of the room were able -to give Detec
tives Grisim and Vaughn, who are han
dling the case. They wore black hats
and English cut overcoats. Both were
of dark complexion and about SO years
old.
The men in the saloon, besides the
proprietor, who was behind the bar.
were facing the bar when the men
entered the saloon. The two covered
them with rovelvers and ordered them
to hold up their hands, threatening to
ehoat the first one who hesitated.

When Dengess threw up his hands he
was holding a big knife with which
he had been cutting cheese for a sand
wich. This is supposed to have alarmed
- the men, for one of them fired instantly,
dropping the proprietor to the floor.
The occupants of the room were then
required to keep their hands up and
lace the wall.
"Get the money quick and let's get
out of here," said the spokesman of
the duo, while his companion hastened
behind the bar and cleaned the cash
register.
Then they .made their dash out of
the saloon.
Rome of the men in the room ran
out and pursued them, but shots were
fired and they abandoned the chase
after seeing the robbers turn out of
Sixteenth street into Couch.

. Drs. T. W. White and M. C. Acker
man, who were In the room, asked
Dengess if he was hurt, seeing him
rise to his feet after the holdup men
had fled.
"No," he said, and sank down against
the icebox. , .,
They hurried him into an automo
bile and took him up to the Good Sa
maritan Hospital. It was found that
the shot, evidently from a 38-caliber
gun, had struck high above the right
nipple and ranged down through the
top of the lungs, coming out in the
tack on a lower line. The holdup man
held the gun high and fired over Dr.
Ackerman's shoulder.
Dengess did not lose consciousness at
any time, although severely shaken
and weakened by the loss of blood, and
it was thought last night that his re
covery will be comparatively easy.

"Wish of Girl Upsets Order of
Columbia County Court.
EUGENE. Or.. Dec 18. (Special.)
More powerful than the order of the
Columbia County Circuit Court to Judge
Thompson, of Eugene, were the wishes
of Bessie McKinnister, the pretty 14-year-old
girl about whom has centered
the most remarkable fights for posses
sion ever held In a Lane County Juve
nile Court. The girl chose Sister Mary
Bercbmanns, of Eugene, with whom she
has grown up from 9 years. In prefer
ence to her own mother, and so the
appointment was made. The petition of
the mother. Emma Baldwin, that her
brother, John W. Van Carnop, be named
guardian for one year to allow the
girl to become acquainted with her
own folk, whom it is declared have
searched for her for nine years, and
that of John W. Van Carnop, to the
same effect, were both denied.
Out of this case, in which, in the
words of one of the attorneys who
fought it for 14 hours in the Lane
County Court last week, ."is centered
on one of the most amazing stories ever
tld," is expected to grow a highly
technical legal battle, over which the
respective authority of two conflicting
courts will be involved.

Nothing to eat after Christmas. No one

letter received by The Oregonian from
a man in an Oregon town.
"I thought I had a Job holding down
a homestead until I got title for a man,
but was disappointed. The , County
Judge won't help. I don't want to die
for want of food, don't want to freeze
to deathvf or want of . fire. I am 75
years old, and have lived in the West
50 years. I don't use liquors or to
bacco." The applicant inclosed a letter writ
ten to him by the man whose home
stead he had hoped to hold down. The
letter expressed regret that the old
man "was not 10 years younger," but
said that its writer could not assume
the responsibility of sending so old a
man to a homestead, without near
neighbors.

"POPULAR IRISH CONCERT SINGER IS WARMLY APPLAUDED
BY PORTLAND AUDIENCE.
BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN.
IT SPEAKS much for the, good sense
and abilitiy to apprehend correctly
just what the public wants, of John
McCormack, to remain a high-class bal
lad singer and Irish minstrel at con-
erts,' instead of yielding to tempta
tion and lucre In seeking after new
laurels in the heavy department of
dramatic opera.' ' -
If McCormack were to please his en
emies and yellow critics, as several
of them hinted to him during his re
cent Eastern tour, to take new lessons
In- voice building with a competent vo
cal coach, and thereafter enter the
ranks of dramatic grand opera, such a
step for him might be doubtful. Time
alone could tell. The chances are,
though, that in grand opera the heavy
orchestral accompaniment would drown
out the silvery, sparkling loveliness of
John McCormack's exquisite lyric tenor
voice. Better let well enough alone.
McCormack appeared again in concert
last night at the Heilig Theater, and
the building was jammed to the doors
with a highly appreciative audience.
McCormack held the people in his magic
spell. Surely no Irish King or Irish
harpist, or Irish ballad singer in the
old days won such - an affectionate
hold on the hearts of an audience as
does McCormack. Whenever McCor
mack appeared on the stage last night
he was applauded, and when he had
sung his solos and walked off again,
the people applauded, begging him to
sing some more. He is one of the
great ones of the earth In song, and yet
with furore of applause enough to turn
any ordinary man's head, McCormack's
head is normal. He is still approach
able, and a popular idol.
McCormack sang best last night in
interpreting Irish songs which have
the laugh and the tear, with the plain
tive note that all true Celts know. Hi

tone emission tnough not lauitless had
