A brief In the case of Henry Matt-
sen vs. the City of Astoria, was filed
yesterday. The plalntlfT. a boy namd
West, fell from a roadway and sued the
ltv for damage nnj olvnlned Judg
ment to the amount of H25. judge
MeHrld held that the provision of the
rltv ch.irter exempting the city from
liability frurn Injuries due to defective
sidewalks was unconstitutional. The
brief filed by City Attorney Smith yes
terday, was an argument In support of
the city charter.
Sundnv afternoon, the otherwise quiet
little vlllnce of Scavlew was thrown
Into a fever of excitement by the slcht
f a fisherman's boat containing two
men. anchored within a mile nf the
shor. The mn semed to be In dls-
tri.s and frnntlcally waved their arms
to the people on shore, but It was long
after diisl: before anyone thoucht of
notlfvina a life-saving crew. Presi
dent Loomls of the I. H, & N. was
ohonrd to for assistance In otitain.
Ing the crew, but he replied that the
men could come In through the aurf.
If they were In danger, Turing the
night fire wer kept burning along
the hor, In tlio "lopes that the men
would coin In. but when the mist
cleared away yesterday morning the
boat w nowhere to be seen, It I
surmised that the occupant were fish
ermen going to some Mnt on the
coast, and were awaiting a favorable
wind. If such was not the ruse, then
the men have no doubt found a wat
ery grave. It Is sld that twice before,
life-saving crew have gone out after
boats, and after arriving there wen
lutiKhed at by the occupants. Sunday
nlaht'a aplod may have been a case
of th boy and th wolf.
Charley Oegood, if Young river, ha
been missing chickens of late and was
unoblo to account for thHr disappear
ance, until a few lays ago ho saw two
big w ildcats prowling around near bis
chicken house. Procuring a gun, he
went after them and brought two scalps
to Justice Urowi-r yoaterday, Osgood
will receive 12 for the same, providing
h lives long enough. Justice Hrower,
will nuike out affidavits to the effect
that he reoived the scalp, then pre
sent the same, together with his affi
davit to the county court, which will
at.prove the same, and forward to the
secretary of state. Home time In the
far future a warrant will be returned
here authorising the county treasurer
to pay 14 for the scalps.
That the long looked for sale of the
Ilttaco Hallway and Navigation Cum
pany'a property to tho Oregon Hallway
and Navigation Company Is a fact can
not be corroborated. v!,t t la certain
that the formal transfer of the road
will take place today. Final arrange
ment were mad In thl city yesterday,
whi n President Loomls for the I. It. 4
N. Company, met President Mohler,
Auditor K. 8. Henaon. Passenger Agent
W. II. Ilurlburt and Freight Agent II.
Campbell, of the O. H. & N. The party
went to the oltlce of C. W. Fulton and,
after being rliated there fr a few
hours, returned to the 1. It. & N. Co.'s
(bsk and Went to llwaco on the Can
by. When seen y. su rday ' morning,
President Loomls did not deny that a
sale of the road wns undir contem
plation, but sal I that the same had been
talked of for vears, but nothing defi
nite as yet had be n done. He s.Ud
that he ii willing to sell, as he had
Interest elsewiiere that required his
attention. It has been known for a
long lime that the O. It, & N. was seek
ing a ilnep-water-harbor, rs the com
pany reullxrB that It will only h a
ouestlon of a few vnrs until the Wil
lamette river will be unnavlguble for
ile p draught vessels at Portland. A
survey was made from Portland to
Knappion. on the Washington side of
the river, and It Is thought the O. It.
. N. will elthjr try to come down here
by that route, or will continue the I.
It K. N. to Point Kills, where there Is
a Riift'iient depth of water for a landing
fur their river boats.
C. F. Ji.hnson. forger, and L. L.
Whitrly. embrxxlcr. two well-dnssed
fellows who to all outward appearances
were landed proprietors, fell Into the
clutches of Chief Hallock Sunday even
ing. They were his guests until yes
terday evening. whn they were taken
to Portland, by J. Corduno, a detective
from that city. The men had been in
the city sivsral days, presumably look
ing for a location to build something
or to Invest aome of their Ill-gotten
gains. They succeeded In persuading
the editor of an evening paper to per
mlt them to get out a special regat
ta edition of the sheet, and Iame For
tune might have smiled upon them
had not 'hlef Hallock "queered" the
affulr. Whltely waa staying at the
Tlghe hotel, with a woman who says
she Is his wife, and little suspected
that the ollicers In the city were on his
trail. In response to a telegram from
the chief of pollie of Portland. Chief
Hallock went out on a still hunt for
the two men and found Whltely at
his hotel, while Johnnm waa apprehend
ed at the railway station. Whltely
strenuously denied his guilt, but a tell
tale letter from his father In San Fran
cisco, which contained the Intelligence
that he might succeed In eluding the
police of that city, but again things
might be prMty warm for him. was
sudlclent proof that he waa the man
wanted. He Is wantxl In Fresno. Cal
ifornia, while. Johnson la wanted In
Walla Walla. Wash. Detective Corda
no came to this-city yesterday noon,
and after satisfying himself that the
fellows wer the ones he waa after, he
had Judge Nelson endorse the warrants
for the arrests and took his prisoners
to Portland on last night's train. Al
though arresting law breakers Is an
every day occurrence with Chief Hal
lock. he deserves murh credit In catch
ing his victims so quickly. If any re
ward has been offered he will fall heir
to It.
CALIFOUNIANS COM ISO.
Personnel of .the Several Crews Are
After Records.
Thirty athletes, among them being
the swimmers, oarsmen and Jumpers
from San Francisco and vicinity, will
leave that city this morning for AstO'
rla.
The aim of the CaJIfornlana Is to
bring along men who not only are
good at the oar. but can also make a
favorable showing In other athletic
events. The crew of the Olympics, aa
definitely decided upon, will comprise,
Arthur Bruman, No. 1; Dr. Axton, No,
2; P-ailey. No. 3; F. J. Cherry, stroke.
The Ariel crew will be composed of
J. Keegan, stroke: E. Smith, afterwalat;
H. Foley, forwards alst; J. Noakes,

The Dolphin crew: Edward Kragr
ness. No. 1: Almost Pnie. No. !: Geo.
Itaker, No. S; Aleck Pnpe, stroke. Aleck
Pape wns substituted yesterday for
Captain T. J. Kennedy, but It Is prob
able that Kennedy will come along any-
now. and eventually take the pluce of
August Pape as forwardwalst.
The Alameda crew Is made up as fol
lows: Ocorge Lewis, No, 1; Chester W.
Ayres, No. 2; David tlrcanleaf, No. 3:
F. W. Ayres, stroke,
Great things are expected of the Jun
ior crew of the Arlels. They not only
hope to win the conat Junior champion
ship, but the coast senior championship
as well. The crew Is coming here In
lip top shape, with a new boat and
expect to smash aome of the Columbia
river records.
Pesldes tho bnrge crews coming here
will be J. A. Ueddea nnd Snyder Ca
vlll. swimmers: W. C. Ponln. high div
er, nnd K, C. Sternberg, oarsman. Aleck

J. A. Cedles. who will act as coacn
for the Arlels. will give exhibitions in

long been noted as a swimmer and won
many honora In games of water polo.
Interest In Ban Francisco Is centered
In the Junior ra"e between the Aii.Ms
and Olympics first, and then a race
between the Alnmedas and Dolphins.
The winner of the two races will then
row for the coast championship. Odds
are being wagered that the Arlels and
Alameda will be In the final race and
that the Alamedas will win out.
