JEWELER'S CLEVER WORK
Secretes Himself in Store and Opens
Fire as Burglars Enter From '
. Window Bags One With
Bullet in the Leg.
TILLAMOOK, Or., Jan. 25. (Special.)
8hcrift Crenshaw rounded up a gang of
young thieves in this city this morning:.
lAitn last night Harley Morton, who
works in Eugene Jenkins store, had his
suspicion aroused about - 11 o'clock by
swing- a nuinber of what he thought sus
picious characters lurking around,
secreted himself in the Jewelry store. A
little before 1 o'clock, the gang rapped at
the doors to see if any one was inside,
and thinking no one was on the premises,
two young men kept watch on the out
side, while two others went to the side
of the "house and obtained admittance by
forcing open a window, and with skeleton
keys they tried to open the door leading
Into the Jewelry store, and while doing
this Morton hurridly obtained a 22-auto-matic
rifle, and, in the. dark, filled it with
shells. He then fired two shots through
the door, and having put in one shot
upside down, in hU hurry to load, they
jammed the rifle and prevented him from
firing again. The two young men made
a rapid exit by the same way in which
they entered. While going through the
window Louis Loll's hat came off, and
his name being in it, soon lead to his
arrest this morning.
Raphael Catterlin was the other young
man, and one of the bullets went through
tho fleshy part of his leg near the hip.
In his hurry to get away he fell Into a
large body of water by the side of the
house, and his companions helped him
out. They all made good their escape.
After Catterlin was shot he went to Dr.
Boss and asked him to remove the shot.
The young man told the doctor that he
had been out stealing chickens and was
shot while doing so.
With so many clues to work on the
Sheriff soon had Loll and Catterlin ar
rested, also George Smith and Walter
Oliver. A number of robberies have been
committed here the past few months, and
these young men are frequent visitors to
the poolrooms In this city.

to couple and uncouple them. The plain

French John, Idaho Hermit, Dies
With His Secret Intold .
PRINCETON", Idaho, Jan. 2r,. (ppe.

a claim on the hillside known as the
"Wheelbarrow claim," from which he
washed out a fortune. The rich dirt
was dug from the ground, and in the
wheelbarrow taken down to the creek
near by and the gold washed out.

TAX SALE DECLARED VALID
Property of Insane Person Without
Objection From Agent.
TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 25. (Special.)
One of the most Important decisions
In the history of the courts of Pierce
County was handed down today by
Judge Clifford, when he decided that
the title of the Huntington property
at the end of Center street, bought by
the Pacific Security Storage & Ware
house Company, at a tax sale, was
valid. The title was attacked by John
Huntington on the ground that It had
m
been sold for taxes while Mrs. Mary
C. Huntington, one of the owners of
the community property, was insane.
-Judge Clifford holds that the sale
was validinasmuch as no attempt was
made by either the guardian of Mrs.
Huntington or her husband, her aa.t
ural agent, to redeem it, when it was
sold, and that the Legislature did not
intend to permit the redemption of
community property because of the
wife's insanity. ,

"The authority of Superintendent

idated Indian agency, has today been of
ficially suspended.
"Beginning today, the Government will
proceed to adjust Mr. Liston'e official af
fairs. Through his recent absence and
other conditions, Mr. LIston's affairs are
considerably tangled, and as his author
ity covered several outlying districts, it
will take some time to complete an In
vestigation. "From such Information as we have,
no serious condition is anticipated. ' A
special officer from Washington todaj?
took charge of the Indian reservation
and school, and will continue in charge
until . an appointment is made from

LIFE IN COUNTRY TOO SLOW
Benton County Woman Tires jot
Home and Smashes Fence.
ALBANY, Or., Jan. 25. (Special.)
Because she wanted to move back to
Albany, Mrs. J. H. Walker proceeded
to demolish most of the fence sur
rounding the present home of the fam
ily in Benton County,- opposite this
city, and this and other unusual ac
tions led to her examination here today
for Insanity. The examination dis
closed that the woman was subject to
extreme fits of temper, but. that she is
not really Insane and she was not com
mitted to the asylum pending future
good behavior. Mrs. Walker didn't
like to live out of town and for this
reason, so the examination today dis
closed, she made things as uncomfort
able as possible at their country home.
There have been rumors here that a
few days ago Mrs. Walker placed her
baby in the oven of the cook stove and
that the baby was rescued by Mr.
Walker' after a narrow escape from
death, but the rumor has proved to be
unfounded. It was also ehown that
current reports of other alleged occur
rences were grossly exaggerated.

ply to one written about a week ago by

SEATTLE DIDN'T
OFFER A FLOAT
Fair Board Unable to Find Who
Made Proposal to Port
land Rose Carnival.
WILL MAKE GOOD, HOWEVER
Directors Take Readily to Idea and
Will See That Proper Repre
sentation Is Made to Adver
tise the 1909 Exposition.
SEATTLE, - Wash., Jan. 25. (Spe
cial.) who told the Portland Rose
Carnival management that the direct
ors of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex
position were going to present it with
a float?
This is the question that Is agitat
ing the minds of the fair directors.
None of them ever heard of such a
proposition until they read of it in
The Portland Oregonlan, the article
being Illustrated with a big picture of
the prospective float.
President Ed Chllberg wag the first
person asked as to the intentions of
tho directors with regard to the Port
land Festival, and he expressed Ignor
ance, -at the same time saying that it
was a good idea. Director-General L
A. "jadeau was the next official ques
tioned, and he also denied any knowl
edge of the affair.
Then there was an inquiry on the
part of the directors, but failure met
any attempt to find out who had made
the proposition to the Portland men.
Neither could any correspondence on
the subject be found.
One or two Portland firms have been
given concessions at the fair, and
there is a suspicion that the "gift" of
the directors was contributed by one
of them. Regardless, however, of the
method in which the Portland Festival
management was given the idea that
the Exposition is going to proffer the
float, the expectations of the Portland
people will be realized, for while the
idea was not original with the expo
sition directors, they nevertheless
hold that it is a good one, and that a
float designed on the lines pictured
in The Oregonlan will be a fine ad
vertisement for the big fair.
CALLS IT A HOLDUP GAME

000 and establish a steamship line be

$1,000,000 and then Caine failed to
come through with his share of the
money. Alley losing his promotor's
commission, which would have been
the amount sued for.
Caine contends that the suit is a
holdup game and declares that Alley
never raised a cerit. and that after
waiting for a considerable time for
something to develop, Caine bought
the steamships Watson and Buckman
and abandoned the scheme for .the
turbine vessels originally contemplat
ed for the run.

ciation of Spokane, after the lawyers
had informed the merchants that their
only move was to obey the order.

basis of action against the Prosecuting
Attorney in the fact that he ordered
practically every line of business af
fected by the state law to close in Hill
yard, while they assert that the lid in
Spokane has been applied to the saloons
only. In this they believe their town has
