PICKET IS FINED $50
FOR CARRYING WEAPON
Charles Clark, a picket at the Wil
lamette Iron & Steel Works, was fined
60 for carrying concealed weapons bv
Judge Stevenson this morning. Clark,
made his way in some manner through
the line of polloemen and soldiers and
was abusing the workmen on the In
side of the place.
He was arrested by Patrolmen John
son and Phillips and taken to the po
lice station In the patrol wag-on. A
piece of half-Inch iron rod about a foot
long- was found in the man's hip pock
et, and after he had been taken from
the patrol Into the Jail a loaded re
volver and two extra cartridges were
found on the floor of the patrol where
the man was sitting.
Clark said this morning that he had
never carried a revolver in his life and
that he did not know where that found
in the patrol wagon came from. His
attorney, W. M. Davis, even went so
far as to suggest that the weapon had
been "planted" on Clark, but there was
nothing to point to a "plant." Clark is
badly crippled, and for this reason
Judge Stevenson was inclined to be
lenient with him.
