Terslstent attempts of the attorney for the defnse In the trial of Tim othy Corbett for attempted rape, to show that CorbMt did not offer money providing the case against him wa dropped, brought out unexpected devel opments, and C. W. Fulton Is now sor ry he spoke. When the husband of the wronged woman was examined, he stated that he heard that Corbett wished to settle for thaJuirm done with money. Fulton, sold he did not care to know what the witness heard, he wanted to know whether or not any money was offered to him. To this question Mr. Denck answered no, but he was positive Corbett did offer to use money, and sold his wife heard It. Mrs. Denck thsn took the stand and began by stating that she heard , Here she was Interrupted by Fulton, who asked her the question : "Did you hear him say he would give money." To this question the witness replied: "Yes. I heard him say that If I did not take the $100, he would give It to Fulton to clMtr him." Needles to state, the answer satisfied Mr. Fulton, who said It was the first time in his career as a lawyer that his client had sittled on the price before consulting him. A. D. Roardmnn. a Washington depu ty fish commissioner. In a recent Inter view In the Seattle Tost-Intclllgencer said: "This year is an off year for salmon, but the effect of the state hatcheries Is already making Itself felt. We are getting along with the new White river hatcheries very nicely. There was some trouble In getting title to the property after the site had been selected, but this has now been ad Justed nnd within a few weeks we will begin planting the sockeye. The young fish are turned out Into the open wa ters when two months old. They are first freed on the spawning beds. They are syphoned out into a poll and gent ly deposited In the water without frightening them. After they are turn ed out they remain In fresh water for about a year, then leave for the salt waters, where they remain supposedly for three to Ave years, when they re turn to spawn, which Is at our fish- ling season. Notwithstanding that a great deal of Investigation has boen done, no on knows where the young salmon go after they take to salt wa ter. It Is a fact, however, that they have never been caught beyond twen ty miles from the shore line. It I my opinion that their development depends to a great extent on their feeding grounds and the temperature of the water they remain In. 1 It I a theory that they gj north, bui no one really knows. The outlook (ls that this Is to be a very poor year. It Is known from observation that when salmon do not travel In large school they avoid the trap. It la expected that before the seuaon I over, however, there will be a short run of sockeyes." One of the most exciting and close ly contested races that ha ever taken pla on the rivr between Portland and this city took plsce Tuesday even ing between the Lurllne and the Has sain. The Lurllne won, after being given a hard race. The boats left Portland at the same time and the race beiinn Just as soon as thy were well i,ut Intu the rlvor. The vessel closed In, guard and guard, and the suction prevented the faster from getting away from the other. The passenger on board the rival taunt-d eaeh other so much that much money changed hands on the race, the boat being so clone, together that three passenger step lied from the Haaaalo to the Lurllne while the race was being run. At Lin ton the Ilassalo "rl 1 to shake the Lur llne. but found that If this wa done the latter would get away, ao they hung together until the m mth of the Willam ette waa reached. The Hisvalo tried in every way to gain an inch on her rival, even moving freight and passen gers forward from the stem, to get mre weight on the- bow. When this was done, the olllcers on the Hassolo y-llel to thoae on the Lurllne that tliey would show them the stern of their vessel when the Columbia was reached. On entering the river, the Lnrl'ne pulled awuv from hT rival and vent Into St. Hebns Juit three min ute ahead of the H.nsnlo.

A constant stream of tears flowed down the che?ks of Mrs. Jacob Denck, as she sat In the witness choir In Jus tice Brower's. court yesterday after noon, testifying against Timothy Cor bett, in the cose against him for rape. The defendant, a hoary headed old man, sat on the prisoner' bench, his legs crossed and his hands clasped, lis tening, but not moving a muscle dur ing the while the young woman he had tried to wrong was telling her story. ' A handkerchief wa constantly em ployed by Mrs. Denck to wipe away the tears, as she told the following story: "Corbett came to the house, where I was employed as a cook and offered me wine, which I refused to drink. Three times he offered It to me, but I refused. I went to the front gate toward the road, Intending to go to the men In the woods, when Corbett came out of the house and said he was WE ARE GIVING times as U many WITH Teas, Coffees, Spices, Extracts, Soda, Baking Powder GOOD TIME AND PLACE TO BUY.

Erary Forchaaa going home, I turned and was going Into the door, whin lie followed me and caught me by the ankle, tripping me. A I fell I turned around, fell on my ba.k, und screamed. He said 'you are making a pretty muss of It,' and let me go. A I got up from the floor, with my hair hanging down over my fa, he grabbed me again and catch ing me by the throat forced me to the wall, and was choking me. I could not scream for help as he held me so tight. A I fell, from exhaustion in attempting to free myself from him, my hand came In contact with a broom, which I picked up and struck him on the head. He let me go, and I started out of the back door, Intending to make my way to the men In the woods. A I poised a large log, I felt something pull my dress and the next thing I knew, I was thrown heavily on the log and my back wrenched. Then I re numbered nothing until the Hackala boy came Into the yard. My dress was torn at the bottom and my underskirt torn at the knees. I had a swollen left eye, rny throat wa sore from at tempt to free mye!f from hi grasp, and my back hurt from being thrown against the l"g." Attempts of the attorney tit the de fence to shatter the testimony of thoJ woman were of no avail. She stood the test well, and only her ImperfJot knowledge of the English language, gave the attorney an opportunity to severely cross-question her. After the testimony wa all In and the attrneys had rested their case. Jjxtice Brower bound the defendant over In the sum of $1,000. to await the sitting of the circuit court on the charge of criminal assault with an In tent to commit rape. There wer? a number of witnesses In from Olney. and they are highly In dignant. One and all say that If Cor bett puts In an appearance in that section again he will be given a toat of tar and feathers. Nearly every one around the little burg of Olney says Corbett rvv-atedly Insulted women and once was given a dose of hot water by a woman whom he approached. BURGLARS CAPTURED. . Robbed the Bee Hive Now in the County Jail. The Bee Hive store was entered by burglars early In the morning August 2.1, and merchandise to the value of 1400, and 130 In cash taken. At the time of the burglary, no one had the slightest clue to the robbers, and the matter waa kept quiet, yet the author ities here were kept busy running down every rumor. At the time the bur glary waa discovered, a detective of Portland was In the city and the story wa told him. The men who are ac cused of doing the work now lie In the county Jail there to remain until the sitting of the district court. The burglary took place some time during the night of August 23, en trance to the store being obtained by picking the lock to the front door with a bkeleton key made from a steel but tonhook. After gaining the Inside the men opened the back door, in order to facilitate their retreat should they be discovered. After taking what mon ey and merchandise they thought val uable, they filled valises, also from the store, full of goods and left the city early In the morning before the theft was discovered. Chief Hallock was notified and Im mediately set to work to ferret out the criminals. Detective Kerrigan, of Port land, who was here attending tbe car nival, looked over the premises and told Chief Hallock that he would see whether or not the men had disposed of any goods in Portland. A telephone message came from the detective Tuesday morning, stating that he had captured two men, John Sullivan and Herbert Davis, having In their possession goods similar to those stolen here. He was told to hold them and Sheriff Llnvllle went up to Port land on the morning train. With him went Mrs. Copeland. of the Bee Hive. who Identified the good found in their possession and the men were brought to this city. Yesterday afternoon they were taken before Justice Brower and charged with grand larceny. They waived examination and were bound over. Their bonds were fixed at 1S00 each, which they could not put up. so were taken to the county Jail. Sullivan and Davis were captured In Portland Sunday night by Detectives Snow and Kerrigan, In a lodging house on First and Clay streets. Both were armed at the time but offered no re sistance when surprised. The detectives had been on their trail for many hours, trying to con nect them with a burglary which took place In Portland recently, but had no Idea that they were the men who had done the Job here. Among the articles recovered that were taken from the Bee Hive are: Ladies' silk dress skirt, plaid dress skirt, several dozen silk handkerchiefs, astrikan cape, seal skin trimming!'. Bilk and satin dress ratterns. neckties and stockings, and fifty yards of valuable cashmere dress goods, and four dollars In pennies, tak en from the till of the dry-goods store. Of much of these goods a list was found In the purse of one of the bur glars. In which the value of the goods was given. The thieves seemed to have a special penchant for silks and sat ins, of which they had enumerated the following: Black satin, 24 yards. J160: same 15 yards, $10; green silk, 15 yards, $8; India silk. 26 yards, $50; handker chiefs, 350 dotens; alpaca, 55 yards, 1-03.23.
