In Wahkiakum county, Wash ington. Mr. Jeffery filed on the land seven years ago. Two years later C. W. Clark filed on the same tract with scrip, and afterwards transferred his right to the Willamette Pulp A Paper Company, an Oregon City concern. Then followed a contest for the prop erty. . The matter was carried ud to the Interior department and on Janu ary 4 Secretary Hitchcock rendered a decision In favor of the Astoria claim ant. The property Is located on Grays river and Is Quite valuable. ' Bather than pay for a meal that came to the paltry sum of 35 cents, Charles Belmont drew a revolver on Jerry Slavlch, the proprietor of an As tor street eaUng house, last night, and threatened to commit murder. Upon Slavich stepping back away from the murderous looking weapon, the worth less young hoodlum made his escape. He waa later caught in an uptown sa loon by Officer Undsley and Is now In the city jail. Belmont has been in the city for the past three weeks, dur ing which time be haa put In the most of bis time bumming. Soon after he j hit town he entered the Slavlch res taurant and after eating a meal, set out for him by the proprietor of the place, left while Slavich's back was turned, and since then has failed to make good the price. Last night be visited the same place and ordered his supper. Mr. Slavlch collared him. "Pay me what you owe me," he de manded. With an oath Belmont drew 0 a loaded revolver and pressed it against the other man's breast. Seeing that he meant murder, . Slavlch re quested him to leave the place, saying as he did ao that he would rather lose the 35 cents than to be murdered in trying to collect it. As soon as Bel mont left, the restaurant man bunted up the patrolman and told him the story. It did not take long to find the man with the gun, and he was at "once jailed. Belmont is a young fellow, and Is accounted as being generally no good. .ft, H .. V ,-.v will go to St. Louis World's Fair. Next Drawing in July.

The games will be bowled at the Portland Commercial Club alleys, with which all of the Astoria bowlers are more or less familiar. The local team has done some excellent work on the home alleys, and a general feeling j0f the Astoria Company pervades the club that . the coveted tiophy will come home with the team. If the Astorlans bowl their usual game they will unquestionably win. They are to go against a strong combina tion, but the scores made n Portland are not equal to those bowled here.
