Twenty Hounr In Prlaon After Giant Patrolman Had Stripped Man of Weapons Teaches Law's Majesty. HOLD, officer! You can't take him to jail. He's a friend of mine." With these words George Marsh ob jected to Patrolman Stewart's evident desire to take Ray Grubich Into cus today late Thursday. "Whadye mean?" queried the officer, looking down upon the friend of Gru bich from the superior height accorded by his six feet thrv-e inches. "I mean what I say," was the re sponse, and to show that he meant business If the officer did not unhand his friend. Marsh is said to have drawn a penknife from his pocket and opened the blade in a truculent manner, warn ing the patrolman that any further demonstrations would be at his own risk. Oficer Stewart took Marsh by the coat collar, relieved him of the weapon he was flashing and removed both Marsh and Grubich to the city bastile. The offense for which Grubich was ar rested was one 'of disoi-derly conduct. It might have been for traffic viola tion, for Grubich. although warned by the police, had insisted in stationing wm GOES THERE' He Suppose yoa were the pris oner of Oerman yen ere I In Brief tun aa be asked yon to risk your life by rota to England to vet bis daughter.

WOOD CONTRACT FAILS EMERGENCY ORDINANCE DRAFTED IS OPPOSED BY MR. BIGELOW. Do In j- May Interfere With Sales and Em barrass Mr. Brewster; Had Ordered Contractor to Start Work. When City Commissioner Bigelow changed his attitude yesterday on the pioposition of awarding a contract for the hauling of wood produced at the municipal woodyard near Linnton, he aroused the wrath of Mayor Albee, and incidentally tied the matter up so, that it may be impossible to get the wood into the city in time for sale for next Winter. It is declared by Mayor Albee and Commissioners Brewster and Dieck that Mr. Bigelow concurred in a decision last week to let Charles R. Hart have the contract for hauling the wood from Linnton, where it was cut last Winter by the unemployed, to the city's pro posed sales yard at Twenty - seventh and Savier streets. On the strength of the unanimous approval of the Council to the contract plan. Commissioner Brewster let a contract to Charles R. Hart and the hauling of the wood was started. To make thp rnntrncr valid the n actment of an ordinance with an emer gency clause attached was necessary. This came up for vote yesterday and required unanimous vote for passage. Commissioner Bigelow objected to the enactment of the ordinance, holding out for readvertlsing for bids. He con tended that the award of a contract should be to the lowest bidder, and he had information to the effect that an other contractor was willing to make a bid lower than that submitted by Mr. Hart, although such bid was not made when bids first were called for. The ordinance passed, but the emer gency clause was stricken off because of Mr. Bigelow's objection. This means that it will be SO days before the contract will go into effect. It is said that this will make it impossible to get the wood all into the city before January 1. which, it is said, will be after the principal wood-buying season. When Commissioner Bigelow opposed the ordinance he aroused the. wrath of Mayor Albee, who declared that the contract to Hart had been agreed upon by all members of the Council. "It's a strange way xt doing business." said the Mayor, "but it isn't the first time the Council has. bad the same ex perience." The action of Mr. Bigelow. it was thought, might embarrass either Mr. Brewster or the Council because of the fact that Mr. Brewster, on the strength of the Council's informal sanction of the contract, let Mr. Hart start hauling the wood. There are 10,000 cords, val ued at $22,000. Spirits Blame Attorney for Man's Capture by Sheriff. Leo Polfbm, of Tenino, Invokes Su pernatural Aid to Determine How Official Found Him to Serve Papers. OREGON CITT. Or., May 7. (Spe cial.) Spirits were called on by Leo Polehm. of Tenino, to indicate to him his betrayer to Sheriff Wilson when the Sheriff served him with papers in a suit brought against Polehm and his brother by the First State Bank of Tenino. The spirits, Polehm said, reported that William Stone, attorney-at-law, had laid the trap. Mr. Polehm came to town on busi ness and met Attorney Stone on the street. Mr. Stone, knowing that Polehm was in danger of being served with papers, urged him to come to the law office at once. Within the attorney's rooms Polehtr's peril was explained, and he was told that the Sheriff had been seeking him a long time. Just as the explanation ended Sheriff Wil son walked in and served the papers. "toil got me in here so the Sheriff could find me," shouted Polehm. Mr. Stone denied the allegation and said that he was as much surprised at the appearance of the Sheriff as was hi3 client. To settle the matter Mr. Polehm drew a divining rod from his pocket, and, holding it before his face, said: "Spirits, spirits, indicate to me the man who betrayed me." The rod quivered in his grasp, jerked violently up and down and then pointed squarely at Mr. Stone's head. "Ah! You are the man." exclaimed Polehm. "1 knew it, and the spirits never lie." Today Mr. Stone declared that all at tempts to change Polehm's mind were useless. Even when Sheriff Wilson told Polehm that the attorney had not be- COLIMBIA FIVER HIGHWAY rAbornt AO Miles at $3.50 per faaaentrer PORTLAND (SCENIC BOCLEVAHDS About 20 miles at jfl.oo per rassentjer Thrne Are Special Features of the AMERICAN AUTO TOURING CO.
