BOUTELLE, OF VANCOUVER, SPENDS THE DAY HERE SOME INCIDENTS OF HIS CAREER IN THE ARMY Yesterday noon there arrived in the city, via the noon expre from Van couver, Wash a gentleman garbed in the fatigue uniform of a major in the United States army; one whose sohlieHy apficarance and habit, wa determinable on sight by anyone at all familiar with the sign and carriage of the profession, and especially of the veteran group of the service, lid man was old so far a the gray of hi hair and the ragged line of hi stern face counted for age, but the erect form, the swift, Arm and sure tread, spoke indisputably of the reserve strength lnceparable from discipline and the rigor of a regular life. . So notable wei the characteristic that a reporter of the Astorian was prompted to pursue hi deduction to a conviction. and to this end he nought the stranger out at the Hotel Occident, and found that be was Major Fra.ier A. Boutelle, a retired officer of the United States army, here, en route to the "Breaker" at Long Reach, where he is under sum mon before the joint commission of the State of Oregon and Washington to give such testimony as he may, in the matter of the Wundary di-pute now in course of adjustment. Major Boutelle ha been on the coast and in the great west for nearly half a century and ha a war record that is unique for Its incident and asuocktion. Like all soldier with anything to tell it ia a difficult matter to induce him to reveal anything, but the reporter wa fairly successful yesterday, when after a skilful line of inquiry it developed that the major wa one of the two men to fire the shot that opened the famous and bitter Modoc war, the memory of which will never fade from the hUtory of the upper coast country at least He was a first lieutenant in those day, and was doing a bit of scouting with a party of men in his command, when be ran upon the savages headed by the notorious Indian leader,. Scar-Face Charlie. The major drew his Colt' re volver simultaneously with the aame ac tion on the pait of the Indian, and the two shots crossed in mid-air, Scar-Face Charlie's catching the major on the left arm (his weapon arm, by the way), and tearing through two thicknesses of hi clothing, but failing to reach the akin, and the major's shot ripping to rags the red handkerchief that bound the sav age's head. He relates the fact, with quiet enjoyment, that when Charlie wa made a prisoner later on, the encounter was discussed between them, and Scar Face admitted that he did not know just who fired first, but that both were good, and bad. marksmen .a neither had done the damage they were seeking to do, though 1k.Hi had hit what they !hot at. ' , Across the left cheek-bone Major Bou telle carries a livid scar, and nothing the reporter's interest in that particular sign of iU war-days, he told the follow ing amusing story: "I was once associated with a regi ment that had three other war-scarred veterans ou its staff, and the four of us were generally spotted at once as the grim and gcUley men who had been through the roughest dangers of our professional quest and had issued from the fray with all the appropriate and convincing signs of duty nobly done; when the truth of the matter was, one of the officers, whose first and little fingers had been shot off, had lost them by a self-inflicted wound from 'a shot gun in his boyhood's days; another, whose right thumb and fore finger were gone, was the victim of a corn-cutter in a frolic when he was a kid; still an other who bore a great scar across the half of his face suffered from the awk ward manipulation of a razor when he was new to the mysteries of shaving; and as to my own scar here, that was the mark I won from the home-stove in the kitchen. Thus, you see, scars do not always signify any surplus of cour age nor the result thereof." Major Boutelle is the man who, after the battle between the forces of Lieu tenant Smith's regulars and the braves of Curly Headed Doctor, one of the Modoc chiefs, went out on the field, alone and deliberately, brought in the abandoned body of a man by the name of Crawley, a victim of the fight, and who was desperately wounded, but yet alive, and carried it into camp in the face of the ambushed fire from the In dian retreat not seventy yards away. This gallant officer Is one of the very few survivors of that famous war and is qualified to give a thousand good stories of those exciting days, if a brave man's modesty did not so inopportunely "" " ' ' ''H'' ' rT rkfiiT?e ttmtii: FREE OF CHARGE WHENEVER J : YOU SAY SO 1 mo All of Our OUTING SUITS rv Assorted Patterns and Grades Worth from $15 to $22.50 NOW : Herman.

TONIGHT Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde The Most Celebrated of All Plays. Mr. Willard, in the famous parts of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," will demon strate to the public tonight, that as an actor, there are but few who can lay claim to the bright future that lays ahead of him, and it is safe to predict that Mr. Willard's name will be a cele brated one, throughout this continent before long. The part of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is conceded as the most try ing and difficult part created, calling for more than ordinary talents. The trans formation from the fiend to the suave gentleman and back again is. the very greatest test in acting. The audience is requested, if possible, to be in their Beats before the curtain rises, as the least detracting sound i exceedingly trying to the nerves of Mr. Willard, for during this part they are strung up to the utmost tension, and the least noise1 breaking in on the scene, jars through and through the actor.
