Sunday Robbery Early on Sunday
morning last a thief, or thieves, en
tered the tobacconist shop of Thomas
Peterson, on Commercial street, above
Fifteenth, and stole . In the neighbor
hood of $60 worth of meerschum pipes,
package-tobacCo, pocket knives, etc,
etc.; gaining access to the store from
the rear where they whittled away
'one of the window frames and lifted
out the lower sash. It was evidently
done by some one who is familiar with
the premises. It was a very complete
and expert Job. The police are on the
scent nnd will make a landing aa soon
as possible. This is the second time
Mr. Peterson has been robbed in this
way.

Didn't Get the Doa Mr. and Mrs.
T. J, Mansker. of this city, were horn
ing passengers on the evening local
train from ' Warrenton, on Sunday
last, and had with them on the Jour
ney, their little prixe-dog, a beautiful
cocker spaniel. Thts dog had evident
ly excited the fancy, or the cupidity,
of a hobo on the tram, and as Mrs
Mansker left the coach at the de
pot, this bold, bad thief deliberately
snatched the animal 'from her arms
with an Insltlng answer to her prompt
protest. Mr. Mansker who was a short
distance away from her, noticed the
transaction, and took it In at a glance.
He made a short run for his skidoo
ing thlcf-shlp, and landed all over
him, hammering him with a hearti
ness and directness ft aim and choice
of alms, that'waa really exhiltratlng
to the casual by-stander; he fought
the dog-thief all over the platform,
and the two men had to be pulled from
under the Portland express so that
the train could start out on schedule
time. But he got the dog. The baf
fled thief, on getting to his feet,
grabbed a bale-hook from a near-by
truck and with a swinging blow
caught Mr. Mansker across the eye,
Inflicting a painful, though not se
rious wound. But Mr. Mansker saved
the dog. The thief ''boarded the ex
press and "flew the coop"!

Police Court Three unfortunates
who spent Sunday in the city bastlle,
apepared in the prisoner's dock yes
terday at the police court to answer
for deeds committed contrary to the
peace and good order of the city. E.
Jensen, a young man, was accused of
being' drunk and was fined $5. It be
ing his first appearance, sentence was
suspended during good behaviour. O.
Holand was accused of being drunk
and admitted being soaked and Judge
Anderson soaked htm $5 more. J.
Bowman, who had deposited $5, ag
greeing to show up Monday, but fail
ing to do so, the amount was de
clared forfeited. J, Moore, an Idle
and dissolute person, with all the
characteristics of the professional ho
bo, was arraigned on a charge of be
ing a'vag. He denied the allegation,
claiming he had come here from Aber
deen on business, but admitted that
he had associated with evil minded
women In-the classic precincts of Par
adise Lost. Judge Anderson talked to
him like a Dutch uncle and regretted
that Jhere was no rock pile in Aatorla,
so ho could sentence him to life im
prisonment He fined Moore $40, but
suspended sentence on condition that
Moore would be seen no more in As
toria. Three gentlemen who conduct
gambling games put up $25 each for
their appearance, but on account of it
being a busy day they failed to show
up and the money was appropriated
to the salary of the police judge. The
case against Miss Cummings, accused!
of conducting an opium Joint, was
dismissed, Attor.ney Spittle stating
that' the opium smoke found in the
joint by Officers Linville and Thomp
son, had been wafted to Miss Cum
mings' domicile from a Chinese Joint
adjoining. , '
