This location is easily accessible from all quarters of the city, as well as the. railroad depots and steamer landings.

Muller Is ina, hospital, and Fields was arrested by Policemen Gibson and Balllle. Muller and Fields got Jnto a dispute In a Burnslde streei saloon over their nationality, and Fields told Muller that he was a for eigner. Then the two men separated, and the onlookers thought that the matter was ended, but Fields attacked Muller outside and beat him on the face. Then with his thumbs he deliberately Injured the n n's eyes. When arrested. Fields had a brick In one of his pockets, and had the effrontery to say that Muller's' Injuries were Inflicted In what he called fair fight. Muller stated that he could not see, and was afraid that his eyes were permanently injured. BEAT A WOMAN. II. Clinsc Locked Doors to "Ward Oft Interruption. In a fit of Jealousy last night, a mus cular Individual known around .Whlte chapel as H.

The policemen effected an entrance to the place by forcing a rear window, and they ap proached Chase with their drawn re volvers. The sight of the weapons cowed Chase and he consented to go quietly to the 'police station. THE "PORTLAND-CHICAGO SPECIAL."

FOR UNPAID, LIGHT BILLS GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY SUES THE CITY FOR $0432. Suit Against Oregon & California Railroad' to Recover $21,610 ea Land Contract Court, Notes. The Portland General Electric Com pany yesterday filed art action against the City of PortlandJ.in the State Circuit Court to recover 59432,- balance alleged due?or lighting thestreets of the city during the months of' October, November and "December, 1900. The contract on which the action is based was entered Into in February, 1899, the agreed price being 553,000 per year for 712 arc and 655 incandescent lamps. It was arranged that, the money should be paid In nfonthly Installments of 54416. The city charter provides that a certain por tion of the 8 mills tax levy shall be used fof street lighting purposes, but because Assessor Greenleaf largely reduced the assessed valuation of city property, the street lighting fund ran short. The city therefore was unable to pay In full, not being authorized by the charter to trans fer money from the general fund to the other fund, to make up the deficiency. It is alleged In the complaint that the Assessor arbitrarily reduced the amount of the assessment on city property from. 538,396,620 to 529,554,209; that had the Port land General Electric Company declined and refused to keep the city lighted the Inhabitants and property would have been harassed, troubled and endangered by criminals, and great lnconveiiience would have resulted. The city officials, It Is stated, promised to apply to the Legis lature for relief, and, relying upon this promise, the company continued to fur nish the lights. The Legislature, it is as serted, confirmed the Indebtedness by au thorizing the city by an act passed and subsequently approved by the Governor to transfer funds to the special funds from the general fund, and, having carried out Its contract and considering all these things mentioned, the Portland General Electric Company says the bill should be paid, and asks for a decree accordingly. Frederick "W Holman appears as- the at torney for the plaintiff. The members of the Common Council have not denied the liability of the city under this contract, but they desire to evade any personal responsibility, as the present city charter is very strict on the question of disbursing funds. They do not desire to take any chances, and will feel secure If backed up by a decision of the court. BROWN WINS HIS SUIT. Jury Arrards Him the Oregon Kins; Aline. T. J. Brown and B. W. Maddox yes terday -non their suit against the Oregon King Mining Company, the jury in the Federal Court awarding them a verdict after deliberating about an hour. The verdict did not carry with It any award of damages, but simply found that the plaintiffs were entitled to the mine by right of discovery and possession. Brown first located on the claim, which is situated vIn Crook County, in 1897. Ac cording to the testimony, he did not per form sufficient labor upon It to hold It, and in June, 1898, a party headed by G. M. Wilson located on. the claim. They did some work, according to their story, and sold to the Oregon King Mining Company, a corporation organized under the laws of Wyoming. In January, 1S99, Brown returned to the mine and again located. It was upon this location that he claimed title In his suit In court. Brown alleged that subsequent to his second location he was driven off the claim by employes of the defendant, and he then took the matter Into court. One of his main allegations was that the staking of the mine by Wilson was de fective, in that no west end stake was set up. There was also a dispute as to who sunk the first 10 feet of shifting. Both parties alleged they had done so, and each Introduced much testimony In support of this contention. The case was on trial nearly all last week. Dolph, Mallory, Simon & Gearln, Albert Abraham and H. M. RIddell ap peared for the plaintiff, and W. H. Wil son, of The Dalles, and R. E. Moody and J. M. Long, of Portland, for the defend ant. It is altogether likely that an appeal will be taken from the verdict In the lower court The mine Is exceedingly valuable, 5 tons of the ore having net ted 52000. Since the commencement ' of the litigation, the defendant corporation has been working all the time on . the mine, and It now has a shaft several hundred feet deep. TO RECOVER $21,010. Suit Aenlnit the Oregon &. California on Land Contract. William R. Maffet, trustee, has com menced an action against the Oregon & California Railroad Company to recover 521,019 for alleged breach of contract for the sale of 5172 acres of land In the east ern part of Multnomah County, on Gor don Creek. The complaint was filed In the State Circuit Court yesterday by Watson & Beekman and George W. Joseph as plain tiff's attorneys. It is alleged that on De cember 31, 1889, Maftet and E. T. McKin non, as trustees; entered into a contract with the railroad company for the pur chase of this land at the agreed pfrlce.of 564,362, and thereafter paid on the con tract the sum for which judgment is asked in this case. Maffet avers that the company never had any title to the land, and failed to secure title In accordance with the terms of the agreement, and that a part of the land was afterwards taken by proclamation of the President of the United States as portion of the Bull Run reserve. It Is asserted that It will therefore be impossible for the railroad company to acquire title to the land, and that on March 23 last the company, by letter, re scinded and annulled the contract. Maffet also contends that It was un derstood that no payments were to be made on the contract price of the land after the payments as set forth In. the complaint, unless the title had been ac quired by the defendant. Not Subject to Hidden Liens. Judges Sears and Frazer, In the suit of William R. Moffet ,agalnst the Secur ity Savings &. Trust Company, held that a judgment creditor who bids In prop erty for the amount of his claim is not subject to hidden Hens. In 1891 Marcus Hartwell was the owner of certain property, and sold It to Moffet and E. T. Kinney. They' were indebted to Clarence W. Coulter, and conveyed the property to him In trust, to be reconveyed when the debt was satisfied. The deed was recorded, but not the agreement. The Commercial and Savings Bank sued Coulter for 5500, and attached the prop erty, and afterward sold the property to the Security Savings & Trust Company. Moffet, in his suit, contended that the bank only secured the actual Interest of Coulter in the property. The court. In sustaining a demurrer to the complaint, held that It did not understand that a bare possibility that a holder's title may be subject to hidden liens or equities would be sufficient to charge a bona-flde purchaser with constructive notice of the existence of such liens. Court NotesV tlenry J. Bigger, of Salem, was admit ted to practice as an "attorney in the United States District Court by -Judge Bellinger yesterday. -Chris Simpson has sued J. H. Roberts and C. B. Williams In the State Circuit Court 'for 5270, which he avers Is due on account of dealings which they had to gether prior to, November, 1900.' Marg..ret F. Barling has sued Thomas F.

The appeal in the McDanlel case will be argued in the Supreme Court Mon day.

On Monday morning, In the case of Barbara Stager vs. Troy Laundry Com pany, Judge Frazer will announce an opinion on the right of Judges of the court other than the trial Judge to hear and determine or advise concerning a mo tion for a new trial. In the County Court yesterday, Estella Nash, administratrix of the estate of Al bert L. Nash, deceased, was authorized to compromise a claim against the O. R. & N. Co. on ac6ount of his death for 5330. Nash was employed as a yardmaster at The Dalles, and on November 4, 1900, was killed by a collision between a switch en gine and a freight train. The company denied liability for the accident, or negli gence. Frank L Weber has filed suit in the State Circuit Court against the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association to .re cover 53000 Insurance on a policy Issued to his wife, Katherine Weber, in 1893, in his favor. The policy Is known as a 10 years' distribution deposit policy. Mrs. Weber died October 9, 1900. It Is alleged that she performed and compiled with all of the conditions of the written In strument, and that the defendant has refused to pay the amount due. Cotton, Teal & Minor, of Portland, and L. S. Wilson, of Walla Walla, appear as at torneys for the plaintiff. Mr. Weber re sides at Walla Walla. Katie Dagman, who has sued Gus L. Dagman for a divorce, yesterday filed an affidavit in which she stated that they were married In Portland in January, 1900, and In May following, while she was re covering from the effects of a surgical operation, her husband abandoned her. She heard that he was in Enderten, N. D., and sent him a letter asking him to send her enough money to provide for heraelf until she became well enough to work, but received no response. She fur ther stated that she had Inquired from acqalntances of Dayman regarding his whereabouts, but could obtain no infor mation. Mrs. Dagman asked that serv ice of the suit be made by publication of summons, as under the facts recited It was impossible to obtain personal serv ice on the defendant. An action has been commenced by the German Savings and Loan Society against Sarah M. Kern, administratrix of the pstate of John W. Kern, deceased, and the Fidelity Deposit Company, of Maryland, for 52000. In May, 1898, the German Savings and Loan Society ob tained a decree against Captain Kern for 557.8S8, and foreclosing a mortgage on the Waverly tract of 24 acrea. Cap tain Kern appealed the case to the Su preme Court and lost, the foreclosure Judgment and sale of the property being affirmed by the higher court.
