jTuar A Doq-Dat Rumob. Ex - Mayor
Storey, while enjoying a very pleasant
cay at the beaside yesterday, experienced
awful calamities in Portland. Rumor
had it that he was drowned while bath
ing. His partner, Mr. Kern, telegraphed
and received a -reply early in the morning
that the ex-Mayor was well and hearty.
But the rumor had started like a prairie
flro, and soon everywhere friends ot Mr.
Storey were shocked by the sudden and
terrible news. Contradiction seemed to
have little effect tin til the force of the
first wave had surged all over the city.
Then there was something of a reaction,
and people could believe that there was
no cause for mourning, if the ex-Mayor
telegraphed he was sound and well. One
man was met who bad seen a man who
saw the body on the marble slab at the
morgue. Another man said he had been
positively informed that Mayor Rowe was
drowned at the seaside. When Informed
that Mayor Rowe was at the ball game,
Which was not at all watery, he was
nonplussed and could not understand.
When the city officials realized the per
sistent rumor was spreading from the ex
Mayor to he Mayor, they began to notify
their friends and families that they were
safe, as Jt appeared all of tSfiPi might
soon be included in the catastrophe.
Visitors From Canada. Dr. and Mrs.
John Thorburn, of Ottawa, Canada, ar
rived in Portland yesterday morning and

Thorburn Ross. Mrs. Thorburn was a

president of the board of examiners. Dr.
Thorburn is, well known in literary and
scientific circles, and is a classical
scholar
Wiii. Detekd the Stocktards. There
seems to be some conflict of opinion
among residents near the stockyards as
to whether that institution is the real
nuisance in the neighborhood. A portion
of the people living thereabout, state that
thd real fight is between the Western
Lumber Company and the yards, and that
cesspools in the neighborhood and tho
crematory In warm weather can give
forth more blighting odors than three
stockyards. Merchant & Co., the mana
gers of the yard, have acquired the land
on which the buildings "and corrafs are
situated, and are rapidly preparing their
defense to the action pending to abate
the yards as a nuisance.
Injured in Runawat. Chris Gates, a
milkman, was severely Injured yesterday
morning in a runaway, having his skull
fractured, so that his recovery is doubt
ful. Gates was delivering milk as usnal

Escaped From Pxtroatort. H. D.
Griffln, grand representative of the
Oregon Lodge of Elks, who has beea
attending the grand lodge in New Jersey,
returned noma last evening, one of the
happiest men Portland has seen for
weeks. Mr. Griffln" looked much like one
would Imagine an escape from purgatory
would after a month's confinement with
his Satanic majesty, and his radiating
happiness .was because his torture was
over. Several Eastern cities were vis
ited during the trip but unfortunately
each, was sweltering at the time, and
there, was no peace on earth, and to the
inhabitant of the cool Northwest there
seemed but little hope for the future,
Mr. Griffln lost 15 pounds, which he says
simply fried out of him. There was no
sleeping, as the" thermometer frequently
registered SO to H in tho middle of tn
night. Even a breeze seemed to stand no
show in the suffocating atmosphere.
"Well, you can tell all your friends that
Oregon is good enough for me," said the
returning pilgrim. "If you want to de
populate the East) have the people there
know what our Summer climate is. Make
them know that, and they will come, or
I am mistaken."
Charged With Assault and Battert.
A warrant charging" him with assault
and battery upon" his wife has been served
on Chester V. Dolph, eldest son of the
late Senator J. N. Dolplu. The warrant
was quietly served by Chief of Police Mc
Lauchlan, and Mr. Dolph was immedi
ately roleased. on his own recognizance.
The complaint was made by Mrs. J. W.
Cruthers, mother of Mrs. Dolph, and it
alleges that the assault was committed
on Wednesday evening, by striking and
beating Mrs, Dolph. The case has not
been set for the Municipal Court as yet,
and It is doubtful whether it will come
up for a hearjng. Mrs. Dolph had no part
in bringing the complaint, and a general
denial is made that the reported beating
ever took, place.

you contemplate a trip East, call at (he

Fred Gonrad Committed Suicide Af
ter Failing to Kill III "Wife.
Enraged at his wife and infuriated
with liquor, Fred Gonrad, a German, liv
ing at 5G3 Raleigh street attempted to
take "his wife's life and then committed
suicide, at 10:30 last evening, shooting
himself through the head with a bullet
from a 32-ealibre revolver. Conrad was
o0 years old, and employed running a
planer in the mill of the Western Lumber

Tho trouble which resulted in the at
tempted murder and the successful sui
cide commenced early In the evening.
When Mrs. Conrad came home from her
place of employment Charles Went's
restaurant on Nineteenth street she
brought hor month's salary of 530.. Con
rad had been drinking during the day,
and demanded from ber this money.
When she refused he took It from her
by force, at the sRtno time threatening
her life.
Mrs. Conrad then informed. Patrolman
J. L, Wheeler, and he at once proceeded
to search for Conrad, who had gone
out to a neighboring saloon to spend
hfs easily-gotten money. Mrs: Conrad
returned to their little dwelling and
stood In the yard at the back, chatting
with Mrs. Schaeffer and several neigh
bors. Conrad approached them,. ana cry
ing, "You done it" fired two shots at
his wife, grazing and burning the side
of her face. The woman ran, screaming
for help, and Conrad, returning to the
house, killed himself In tho kitchen, ber
fore Police Captain Hoare, Patrolman

shots, could arrest him. Conrad had
been informed 6f his wife's action in
informing' the police officer, had returned
to the dwelling, armed himself with his
revolver, a.nd started out with the de
liberate intention of murdering her. and
afterwards killing himself. Hearing her
screams after firing the shots, and prob
ably supposing her dead or mortally
f wounded, he entered the home and ended
his life at the threshold.

I On his person was found the purse, con
taining J27 of tho wife s hard-earned
