died, at 3:30 o'cIock this afternoon at
Ills home here. He had been ill sev
eral years. He was79 years old. Ml.

Mr. De Laahmutt was- well known
in Portland business, political and

years. He was mayor of Portland In
1888 and 1S89, Just previous to the
consolidation of Portland. East Port
Land and Alblna.
As president of the Oreg-on Na
tional bank he was one of the lead
ing figures In the financial crista that
Attended the panic of 1892 and 1813
when many Oregon banks failed.
Start Made fa Salem.
Mr. De Lashmutt was born In Bur
lington, la., July 27, 1842, and erosnpd
the plains to Oregon In 1852. Ills
family settled in Polk county. He
began his career as a printer and is
aid to have received his start when
be answered the advertisement of
Asahel Bush, editor of the Salem
Statesman, who wanted "an appren
tice to the printing business who
would not expect to finish his trade
or become foreman of the office in
lens than a year."
Before the outbreak of the Civil
war Mr. De Lashmutt had gone to
California. He Joined the Third Cali
fornia volunteer Infantry regiment In
1861 and served during the greater
part of the war along the overland
mall route. By June, 1865, Mr. De
Lashmutt had returned to Portland
and In that month ha became a com
positor on The Oregonlan. He took
the place of George H. Hlmes, now
president of the Oregon Historical
society, who quit to engage in Job
printing work.
Two Banks Established.
From 1870 to the early nineties Mr.
De Lashmutt was Interested in real
estate and financial enterprises. He
helped found the Metropolitan Sav
ings bank and the Oregon National
bank and served as president of both
institutions. After leaving Portland
Mr. DeLashmutt engaged In the min
ing business near Spokane.
In 18C8 Mr. De Lashmutt married
Maria Kelly, daughter of Albert
Kelly, a Portland pioneer. Mrs. De
Lashmutt la a sister of Mrs. O. P.
8. Plummer of Hillsdale, prominent
Portland woman. During his resi
dence in Portland Mr. De Lashmutt
had a fine home' at Fourteenth and
Columbia streets.
He was an ardent sportsman and
was greatly Interested In horse rac
ing. Hie "Witch Hazel Farm" near
Hlllsboro was practically the sport
ing center of the state at one time.
He maintained a string of thorough
bred running horses and a number of
trotting horses. In planning his farm
he built a half-mile track enclosed
by sheds and a mile track for train
ing purposes and for races.
Last Wish Respected.
Mr. De Lashmutt had been prac
tically bedridden for the last six
months, according to relatives. He
bad expressed It as his last wish that
his body be returned to Portland and
burled In Klvervlew cemetery beside
his little daughter who died about
15 years ago. Mr. De Lashmutt was
a charter member of George Wright
post, O. A. R. of Portland and will be
honored by his comrades at the fu
neral services.
Mr. De Lashmut Is survived by his
widow and three children. George,
Ivan and Inez De Lashmutt, all of
Spokane. The members of the family
are expected to arrive In the city to
night. Funeral services will be held
at Flnley's chapel, at an hour to be
announced later.
"I win set your ball at 11500," or
dered the court.
"Can't you all make It 15 cents?"
the negro pleaded, as he left the
courtroom with a wide grin on his
face.
D. . Maynard found to his sorrow
yesterday that It doesn't pay to try
to "spoof" the Judge, even it it is the
Judge of a police court.
A week ago Maynard was up for
speeding, and because of his youth
Judge Itossman didn't want to send
him to Jail or assess a heavy fine. At
that time he permitted him to go on
condition he would stop thriving or
rdlng a motorcycle for 60 days. He
solemnly promised to obey this edict.
It was Monday afternoon that he was
caught astride a motorcycle speed
ing along. the east side.

"Guilty," Prisoner Replies
When Name Is Asked.
Ilepeated Answers to Same Effect
Annoy Court ITntll It Develops
That's Really Man's IV a me.
t( A LL persons arrested by Officer
JL Thurber please step forward,"
droned Clerk Crounae In police court.
. Leading the group of traffic vio
lators was a man who appeared eager
to have his case settled as quickly as
possible.
"What's your name?" inquired th
Clerk, as he checked over the docket.
"Guilty." was the reply.
"I don't want your plea. What's
your name?" again inquired the
clerk.
'Guilty," came the Instant reply.
"I haven't a doubt In the world but
what you are guilty, all Tight, but
what's your name?'' demanded the
Clerk, with a show of impatience.
"Guilty," was the even-toned reply.
"Give this fellow life and then get
his name a few years later. Judge,"
pleaded the clerk, his patience en
tirely exhausted.
And then It developed that the de
fendant had spoken the truth.
"If your honor please," he said,
addressing Judge Itossman, "my
name is Guilty, but It Is spelled Gli
des. He asked me my name and I
told him. If you ask me for my plea
I will tell you. My name Is Glide
and I plead guilty."
"Here's once where the guilty go
free." ordered the court, as he waved
Glides from the courtroom amid a
gale of merriment. I.
Jack Ralney, negro burglar, didn't
isare to have his preliminary hearing
In police court. Being an ex-convict,
he wanted to appear In one of the
higher courts.
"Ah'll take mah chances up above."
he tnld Jnflre Kossmsn.
Maynard couldn't think of any excuse
to offer.
"You Just stay up here with the
Jailbirds for four days and I think It
will have a remarkable effect on- your
memory hereafter," decreed Judge
Itossman.
Alice Hantok, Portland's most
persistent woman bootlegger, couldn't
"speaka da English" when she ap
appeared on her usual charge of boot
legging, but when Judge Itossman
announced a fine of $260 she found
her voice. She lost her power of speech
again a moment later when the court
ordered about 50 gallons of her wine
destroyed.
Nick Spady, garbage collector,
couldn't think of having his young
ster go to school when there was
garbage to collect. So he had the boy,
16 years old, drive the garbage truck.
It cost him a lot of grief and $25 In
cash when he was found guilty yes
terday of permitting a minor to oper
ate a motor vehicle.
WOMAN IDENTIFIES LOOT

A r' additional burglary charge was
