"The anti-toxine trust is nothing more or less than traffic in human

have seen fit to advance the price 100 per cent.
"The department felt compelled to call public attention to the

MURDERER ARMSTRONG MAY
CARRY CASE TO HIGHER COURT
Salem, Jan. 16. The supreme court this afternoon denied the ap
plication for a writ of probable cause in the case of the state vs. Pleas
ant Armstrong, under sentence of death for murder. The law under
which Armstrong was sentenced was invalidated by the adoption of
the new law at the last regular session of the legislature. Armstrong
Driver Edward Uewellyn, of engine
company No. 1, Is mnklng a collection
ot policemen's clubs. Thus far he has
two. and hope's to acquire others. One
of the clubs he took away from Patrol
man LlnlHley and the other was drop
ped by Chief of Police Hallock when
the latter calld at the engine house
for the purpose of recovering tbe club
of the patrolman.
According to the narrative of Mr.
Lewellin. he and Police Officer Linds
ley had a fight last night. Lewellyn
says the trouble started at the Colum
bia theater, where he was talking with
Hlllebrand, the"it-ong man who Is
fhowlng there. HK!brand had ap-
proached Lewellyn to loam It he knew
of any one who was i.roflelent In the
art of wrestling. lewellyn said he
kiiew of a man whom ho thought would
take chance. While the conversa
tion was going on Lindsley approached,
and the subject of wrestling was dls
cuMd by the three. Lindsley seemed
to. be a HHlebrand partisan and re
marked that he would wager $S0 on the
Rtrong man aa against Lewellyn's
wrestler. Lewellyn replied that he'd
bet (50 Lindsley dlsfi't have 50 cents.
After that It wasn't difficult to fan
into flame the spark of lllfeellng w hich
the conversation developed. The pa
trolman and the driver had a wordy
tilt for a few moments, but there was
no actnal encounter, Lewellyn return
ing to the engine house, fioon Llrffls
ley went to Lewellyn's quarters and
called to him to come out on the street
At first Leellyn declined to do so, but,
upon being referred tr es a "quitter"
accepted the challenge Hardly had he
stepped outside the door, he says, than
Lindsley struck him with the police
man's club which he carried. The
blow staggered Lewellyn, cutting a
long gash In his head, but he recovered
his. enss and grappled with the offi
cer, from whom he succeeded In wrest
ing the club. According to Lewellyn,
when the policeman lost his club he
sought safety In flight and ran at a top
speed from the scene of the encounter.
Lewellyn then went to the office of
a physician, where sis stitches were
taken In his head. When Chief Hallock
went to the engine house to get Llnds-
ley's club Lewellyn declined to give It
up. Th chief dropped a diminutive
club during bis call, which Lewellyn
dll not observe until after the depart
ure ot the chief. Whether or not the
arrest of the patrolman will be
caused Lewellyn did not state lust night
bilt he is hanging onto the club as "ex
hibit A" should there follow uny lognl
ntanglcment.
OFFICER MAKES HIS STATEMENT
Asserts That He Acted Within Law
in Using His Club.
There .ire two sides to any story, and.
while Mr. Lewellyn Is unquestionably
the possessor of a sore head nnd two
billets, Officer Lindsley has thut to suy
regarding the fracas which does not
entirely corroborate) the statement
made by the fireman.
According to Mr. Lindsley, he was
attracted Into the entrance of the Co
lumbia theater by loud voices, and, en
tering, found HHlebrand, the strong
man, und Lewellyn engaged in conversa
tlon not calculated to add to the peace
and quiet of an orderly playhouse. The
patrolman luughlngly admonlshedthem,
saying that the actors would soon be
playing to empty seats If they did not
desist from such boisterous talk. This
appeared to nettle Lewellyn, who at
once, It Is alleged, turned on the officer
and Invited him to go about his busi
ness, the language he used not being
any too courteous. HHlebrand . ex
plained that he and Lewellyn were ar
ranging a wrestling meet, nnd the lat
ter Interrupted him to say that no en
plunatlon was necessary, as Lindsley
never saw a wrestling mutch and was
In every respect entirely Ignorant of
the game. The officer refused to lose
his temper, even going so far as to as
sure the heated controvertlst thut he
would be willing to wager as much as
to cents on the proposed match. Soon
after this Messrs. Hllleiirand and Lew
ellyn passed out of the side door and
the patrolman went about bis brat.
Ijiter Lindsley was accosted by the
strong man, who requested that he be
shown where he could find Lewellyn.
It was In compliance with this request
that the real scrap took place. It ap
pears from the officer's statement that
he had no sooner attracted the atten
tion of the Irate driver than the later
made for him, heralding his approach
with language unbefitting that of a
lady all this In spite ot the officer's
assurance that his visit was an entire
ly peaceful one. It was when they got
together that the club was brought Into
play. Three friends of Lewellyn came
to his assistance, and by their united
effsrts the club was wrested from the
policeman, but not until the alleged In-'
stlgator bad been sorely wounded.. Mr.
Lindsley saw the folly of allowing the ,
