TheineiT bent over the aged and frightened woman, and while one drew her hands behind her another bound her wrists with thongs. The blood was trickling down her hands and one of the men laughed. "It may loosen her tongue some," he said. Next her feet were tied securely and she was told that It she did not reveal the hiding place of her money she would be tortured with live coals. The suffering: woman pleaded that there were only a few dollars In the house. Another twist was taken In the bonds and she cried out that her money was In .her trunk.

JUDGE BELLINGER DECIDES Holds That Local Line Cau Not Ite Made Party to Land-Uraut Arrangement Blade With Northern Pacific. Harrison street Four robbers, one of whom was a woman, had tied the thongs so tightly that every movement caused the aged woman agony, and at each attempt to scream the gag cut into her tongue. For several hours after the thieves left her home the woman'' struggled with her bonds, and finally freed one hand. She rolled over and over through a doorway into the kitchen, where she got a knife from the table and cut the leather which held her a prisoner. She then became unconscious. It was two hours before she opened her eyes and crawled to the home of a neighbor, on whose doorstep she lay until discovered in the morning. The robbers entered the house at 8 o'clock Sunday night Mrs. Tangney was lying on her bed and was fully dressed. She felt a hand pressed against her forehead and looked Into the muzzle of a revolver.

I Have the Bert Modem laitrumdti for Dctectlif Asy Defect la Visios. HATHERINE WADE, Graduate Optician At Owl Drug Store Portland, July 12. (Special) Judge Bellinger yesterday. In the suit of the United States against the Astoria Co lumbia River Railroad Cbmpany, ex pressed the opinion that the company is not required to transport fretght and passengers for the government at on' half Its regular rates. Land-grant roads must carry govern' ment freight and passengers at 60 per cent of the regular charge. The As toria & Columbia River Railroad Com pany uses the track of the Northern Pacific company from Portland to OO' ble, and. as the Northern Pacific Is a land-arrant road, the question was raised if the Astoria line does not also come under the half-rate provision when it uses the track of a land-grant line. Judge Bellinger called attention to the fact that the Northern Pacific com pany still carries freight and passen gers for the government between Ooble and Portland for SO per cent of the regular rate, and said he thought the trackage arrangement between the two companies was not a violation of the contract between the United States and the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. United States District Attorney John H. Hall appeared for the government and United States Senator Charles W. Fulton for the railroad company. Judge Bellinger, after a few minutes' ques tlonlng. Intimated that his decision would be In favor of the Astoria ft Columbia River Railroad Company. The position of both sides will be sub mltted briefly in writing and the de cislon of the court will then be made. i, tiiii iiiiiiimnmi!fi.ilW ml milium 11 iiuuii miiipwuii ,ii,ii.,iwn.ii iiwiiimi n mi " irnriiri f jhT'iijb ' I iiiiiiti .uiMWmmmismmm Shirt Waist ..si lO Dozen White Lawn Shirt Waists DELAYED IN TRANSIT will be sold A T g PKICE This is the best bit of news concerning Shirt Waists we've told this season.

Southern Idaho: Showers and thun derstorms In east portion. McNioholls Appointed. Washington, July 12. The secretary the Interior has appointed Charles McNicbolls, ntfw special Indian -agent, of administrator of Webber's estate, on the ground that Its by-laws contained this provision: "No person shall receive any part of his principal or Interest without pro ducing the original book, that such payments may be entered therein, un less It be proved to the satisfaction of the trustees or the treasurer that such book shall have been lost or de stroyed, in which case a legal dis charge will be given." The institution further held that no evidence of the loss or destruction of the book had been furnished, and the administrator went to the courts to get his money. It has been awarded him, the supreme bench ruling that a savings bank has not the power to make Itself or Its officers the arbiters as to whether a depositor's bank book was destroyed or lost Of course there Is nothing In this decision that should be taken to en courage carelessness In the handling of bank books, comments the Boston Journal, yet it Is well that depositors know their newly defined rights in the matter.
