HOTEL ARRIVALS. The work of vandala at the Warren ton mill yesterday morning nearly caused a serious accident, and aa It was the damage which resulted cost the mill owners a good deal of money and some delay. Sheriff Tom Llnvtlle responded to telephone call and went to Warren ton and examined the place. It was found that the big 14-Inch belt had been rut nearly In two with a knife, and bolt from tha bed plate of the engine wer removed to allow the engine to pull itself from place. No one was near the belt at the time It broke, and no one waa hurt, though this was only a piece of good tuck. The crew that came on In the morn Ing did not notice what was done, and their first Intimation of It was when the big belt broke after making a few revolutions. The sheriff has a good clew to the perpetrators of the act, and thinks he will arrest them In a day or two. The mill owners say they can think of no one who would have a motive for damaging their property and endung erlng the lives of the employes In this manner, but the sheriff has learned that the engineer force has recently been changed and new men put in.and It may be that one of these men did (he deed through motives of revenge. None, however, has made any attempt to leave town. NAN IS GLOOMY. Parker House. Chas. Langwiil, Portland. J. W. Mldwell Ft Stevens. Bill Hoover, Ft Stevens. W. Wllburn, Portland. H. Johanson.
