THE MORNING ASTOIilAN. ASTORIA. OREGON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 190 SUSPECT ARRESTED Man Accused of Attack on Belle Broemser Taken Into Custody. FAILS IN IDENTIFICATION MfM Broemser Not Certain that Van GnndT Waa Her Asaailant and the Police do Not Attempt to Hold Him on the Charge. Suspected of being the man who at tempted a criminal assault on Mi Belle Broemser, in the Tarker Horn last Sunday evening, Hugh Van Gundy was taken into custody by the police ye terday, but released for want of identi fication. He was intoxicated at the( time of his arrest, and after the more serious charge against ham was aband oned, he was lxxkeJ as an ordinary drunk, and taken before Judge Ander on in the police court yesterday af ternoon, A fine of $5 was assessed, but this waa suspended by the court after the prisoner had promised to take the next outgoing steamer for San Fran cisco. Yesterday foretioon, Miss Bnsmsflr was taken to the city jail, and although she failed' to positively identify tlp man as her assailant he declares that he 'tallies with him in many respects. He: has long wavy hair and is about me dium height, two points which the young I lady was able to note, after her assail ant had left her. In addition to this, the' man had a number of scartches on bis' face, which she declared would be fin(nd if. 'Iter .'vfehu was ever captured. Miss Broemser was first allowed to see the man. suspected of the crime, through a 'crack in the door leading to the-chief of police's private eflWS: While the young lady'was in the outer office," Van Gundy was engaged in con versation in the private office of Jhe chief. The door was left slightly ajjir and through this Miss Broemser was able to get a good view of the sus pected man.

NEW GOODS ONLY ' might be the means of indicating Van (ii-undy as he guilty one, was tit bringing of Miss Broemser suddenly in to the room, where her alleged assail ant was confined. This plan, however, was entirely Winn of results, and if Van Gundy every saw the woman be fore, liis demanor failed to indicate it in the least. Mis Brocsmer'a identification of Van t'.undy as so unsatisfactory that the police' did not attempt, to hold tJie prisoner on a serious charge. She stat ed that she lielieved Van Grundy to be the man, yet she was not sufficiently certain to positively identify him. lair ing the encounter in the hotel, his re marks to her were in whisper nJ "n was thus unable to identify his voice. Van Gundy made a pathetic pica to Judge AAlerson. when arraigned for drunkenne. He admitted beinr in toxicated, but said be would never drink another drop in his life, and would leave on tle next boat for San Francisco, if the court would let him olT. I have a little money." he said, "but only enough to pay my fare to "Frisco. If I have to pay this fine I cannot go." He then told Judge Anderson that he had worked in Brix's logging camp since last March, and that his present visit to Astoria was the first he had made since that time. He later admit ted that he had been laid up with an injured hand, and that he had been compelled to spend the majority of his earnings for medical servufs. The police are inclined to believe that in Van Gundy, they have the guilty wan. but the evidence against him, they say, is not conclusive. Theodore Broemser, the father of the attacked girl, also believed that Van Gundy is the guilty person, and be may decided to swear out a warant for his arrest todav. He savs he remembers Van Gundy's face, aa a former guest at the hotel. ' Van Gundy will be kept under sur veillance. ; The Best Doctor. " "'' j Rer. B. C.

WHARVES AND SAILS Marine Reckonings Made Yeste day in Astoria. BLANCHARD'S LITTLE JOKE Columbine Out on Special Duty Today Bit Steamer Volga Due Any Hour Coubdon Gets Away for Japan Aberdeen in, Paul Jonea Out. Lively Northern Neighbor. Deputy Collector of Customs Frank II. Taiker, who has arrived home from Gray'e HarUw, reports that neck-of- the-wood in flourishing condition, es pecially as to its marine and milling in dustries. The three towns of Aberdeen. Houuiam and Cosmopolis, strung along a common waterfrontage of five and one half miles, have sixteen lumber mills in constant operation piling lum ber on their dock at the rate of 1A"A 000 feet per day. in all manner of saw- ver's dimensions, from lath to bridge timbers, and from shooks to sash and doors. Thev send away one ear and two schooner loads even- working day. and have timlier resources in a seven mile semi-circuit to lat them for forty years. When Mr. Tarker arrived there were eight sail and steam schooners load- ins out of the three towns, and four lo cal tug snaking others in and out all day long. One yard has three steam schooners on the ways now, side by side, and the lunilier trade there will build thi class of carriers, hereafter in lieu of sailing schooners which are fast disappearing as too slow for the competitive demands of the day. The three towns are agog with a new proposition to unite their destinies tin- ider one municipal melange 13,000 strong, bringing the county seat over from Monteno and setting it up mid way between Aberdeen and llpiiain. All in all, there i snappy life and plen ty of it up around those shores, and that is as it should be. Notice to Mariners. The lighthouse board has just ent out the following notice to mariners in relation to changes at Suisun bay, Cali fornia. (Lit of light buoys, and day- marks. Pacific coast, 1905, page 20.) "Xotk-e i hereby given that Middle Ground buoy No. 5, a black firt-elas spar, has dragged out of position anil is now in the middle of the channel, only about 6 feet of the buoy Wing visible at high water. It will be replaced as soon as practicable." The U. S. lighthouse tender Colum bine depart this afternoon for Uma tilla reef light.hip Xo. 70, with 30 ton of coal, water, provisions ond mail. It is probable that Superintendent Thomas H. Gregg, of the lighthouse service will arrive on the noon express and go o it on the Columbine as the guet of Cap tain Richardson. The Colninbine wilt range alongside Xo. 70, a hawser length away and pass two lines aboerd tin lightship. Over one line light hauling tackle will be rigged for holding anl guiding a small boat which will pass be tween the ships with provisions, and along the other hawser the ships hose will be stoppered and the fiesh wster will be pumped into the lightships tanks by the Columbrne. The latter will re turn to thi port tomorrow night. Blanchard's Little Joke. Purser Illanchard, of the T. J. Tot ter has a fund of dry humor that is al ways on tap. By some fortuitous mis chance he lately found himself in pos session of a lot of snap, and having an ample supply on hand for personal use, he decided to put the sudden surplus where it would do the most good; so yesterday morning, after the dock-of fice force had gotten down to work, he stalked into the office with an arm ful of soap and a face as grim as that of a belated passenger left on the dock by the Potter, and passing from desk to desk, without a single word, deposit ed a cake on each, and left the room in silence.
