FRISKY WITH A GUN-Frank Cab-
anlsa, who I said to be addicted to the
morphine, habit, waa arraigned before
Justice Goodman yesterday to explain
an alleged assault with a deadly wea
pon on one Henry Liggett. Cabanlss
claimed that he was In a state of In
toxication at the time the assault occur
red, which was about 3 o'clock on Sun-
day morning, and that he was not re
sponsible for his actions. By agree
ment between the complaining witness
and the district attorney the complaint
vss changed to common assault and
the defendant allowed to plead guilty
to Chat charge. He wilt appear In the
court this morning to receive sentence.
It Is probable that he will be fined the
limit with the alternative of leaving the
city, a he Is not considered a desirable
man to have around.
ANDREW MATSON INSANE After
being discharged from the hosjfltal on
Sunday morning as being cured, An
drew Matson, 26 year of age and sin
gle, was found by Patrolman Gumma!
on Sunday afternoon In a state of suff
ering, and he was returned to the hos
pital. I,ater In the day the hospital peo
pie notified the police, that they could
not do anything to relieve the patient,
as he was subject to epileptic fits. They
requested that he be removed, and this
waa done. Matson wa then taken to
the county hospital and a commission
on Insanity yesterday 'pronounced him
Insane. He was committed to the asy
lum. He will be taken to Salem to
night by Sheriff Llnvllle. The hallucl
Vitlon from which the unfortunate man
suffer Is principally religion, but he al
so labors under the delusion that there
is a small regiment of soldiers camping
on his trail.
BORROWED A SUIT OF CLOTHES
The explanation given by Thomas
Taylor, arrested on complaint of Henry
Salmlnen, who charges him with steal
ing a suit of clothes worth the whole of
$6, Is that lie merely borrowed the ward
robe to make himself presentable at a
certain place where he was booked for
a social call. This Is the story he told
Justice Goodman yesterday afternoon
when arraigned In court, and he was
given until this morning at 10 o'clock
to build a defense around It. The com
plaining witness alleges that Henry has
been In his employ for about three
weeks, but was paid off on Saturday.
Sunday the suit of clothes was located
on the back of the ex-employe, and the
arrest followed. Taylor Is a respecta
ble looking fellow, and his personal ap
pearance as he stood trembling at the
bar of justice yesterday, indicated that
It would be an act of kindness on the
part of Mr, Saltmen tf he donated the
clothes to the unfortunate man, as the
clothes he had on were In a condition
akin to the Kansas City platform-all
falling apart.

FROM THE PEOPLE
EDITOR ASTORIAN Dear Sir:
I shall esteem It a persona favor if
you will kindly inform me who Is the
person authorized to have the garbage
removed from"the streets and back
yards many of which are littered with
Hi-smelling debris. I have been to the
chief of police and he referred me to
the health officer, who4old me to go to
the city attorney. That official Is out
of the city, so what must a man do?
With out police and health officers It
seems to me that we should have some
place or person to which we can sub
mit our complaints. If people do not
know enough to keep their back yards
clear of garbage. It is up. to somebody
to teach them, and to see that .they ob
serve the letter of the law. I believe
there Is some person whose duty It is
to look after the health of the city.
Please advise me. T. B. BIDWELL.
(We would advise the writer to sub
mit his complaint to the board of health
should the city health officer decline to
receive It. Councilman Morton, chair
man of the council committee on health
and police would be a responsible per
son to advise of unsanitary conditions.
