He raised it to his shoulder and, it is alleged, pulled back the trig ger. He ordered the trio off the claim, threatening them with instant death If they tarried. They went, returning to this place, where they secured a war rant for Marshall's arrest. Birdie McCarty is well known in "Portland.

In the orchestra were rows and rowa of newspaper men artists, reporters, stenog' raphers. Verily the place was papered. But Tet razzlnl smiled ever so sweetly, and then her eyes were lowered, fixing her gaze upon her immaculate white gloves. And a sigh escaped the pale, agitated Slgnor Julio Zlegner uriburo, seated In the shadow of the bronzed pen, Uriburo. her devoted admirer; Uriburo, the son of a proud Argentine President: but most of all, Uriburo charged with diverting to his own uses some 27,000 francs.

A hold-up. and desperate bat tle In the grocery saloon of John C Brutt. on the corner of Second and Brannan streets. In which Thomas Reilly, an Innocent customer of the house, was killed, was the culmina tion of a reign of terror that has swept over the immediate neighborhood with in the last month. Three hold-ups, one death and a number of small -robberies is the record for 30 days, In which the criminals hav worked ever bolder and bolder, to the point of taking human life. All the customers of Brutt's saloon had departed and the proprietor was about to close up, when a man wearing a slouch hat and a black silk handker chief over the lower part of his face entered. "Throw up your hands," he demand ed, but Brutt, who was standing be hind the bar talking to Reilly,' replied: "Go on, you're fooling." "No, I mean business," cried the foot pad, leveling a revolver. Brutt then ducked behind the bar and grabbed for his gun, which was lying on a shelf. As he raised his hand over the bar to fire a shot rang out from the thug's revolver. Thero was a battle royal then, in which Reilly was forgotten by Brutt "it au happ&ttd co quicsiy' cx- plains Brutt, "that there was no time to it." He was . surprised to discover that there was another fusillade coming through the bamboo swinging door leading into the grocery and then he heard Reilly drop and the man ran through the grocery and into the street, presumably with his ally. Brutt says ho fired twice, though there are three empty shells in his re volver, and the robbers three times. There -was not a word spoken during the encounter and only the sharp re ports and the crash of a broken door behind the bar. When Brutt raised himself from be hind the bar after the robbers had left, he saw Reilly lying face down ward on the floor as he rushed through into the store to sound his police whis tle. When he came back into the saloon again Reilly was dying, one bullet through his breast about two inches above the nipple and with another bul let -wound in his mouth. He expired ten -minutes later, and It is not known yet whether he was killed accidentally wlta a stray shot from Brutt's revolv er. In which line of fire he was, or whether he was shot in cold blood by one of the footpads. The autopsy held this morning leaves the question still in doubt, for-the bul let extracted from his chest was a 3S caliber from a Smith & Wesson shell. Brutt's revolver as 38 Smith & Wes son, and the gun of the robber may have been likewise, for the bullets found in the saloon are so flattened that it Is Impossible to determine. - BIG ROCK KILLS SMALL BOY Rolls Down Upon Six-Ycar-Old, Playing at Anaconda.
