SHIP HARVEST QUEEN LOST
slliles were encountered. The lldt
j was found this side of Shell Rock, near
j Mosier, and it was decided to return
I to The Dalles, but in the meantime
I slides had come down in the rear and
esvsii was rut off. The aim of lion
era 1 M.m.itrer O'liden is to establish
a steamer transfer around the block
ade and run stub trains from Portland
to connect. It Is presumed he will
hold the Harvest Queen at lioiinevllle
until some such arrangement Is perfected.

PUGET SOUND GALE.
Damages Craft, Especially Smaller
Boats to Considerable Extent.
SEATTLE, Feb. 5. A southeast gale
swept over the Sound today and
smaller boats suffered severely. The
bark Marie dragged her anchor and
brought up against the Wall street
dock. She is not damaged. The hulk
bound along the reaches of the Upper j Marlechen also dragged her anchor for
Columbia are facing may only be con- j a short distance. The schooner Annie
Jectured here. They are as Isolated j m. crashed into the Great Northern
from all means of communication from
Portland as If they were people of a
lonely isle of the sea.
What the fate of the steamer Har
vest Queon, which left here for Bonne
ville, yesterday, Is no one knows.
Hundreds of anxious people here are
hoping she Is safe, but there Is no
news to comfort them, nor none to be
had.
Trains along the O. R. & N. are
lost, swallowed up completely, between
and behind rock-slides, hemmed in by
washouts of tracks and by ruined and
unsafe bridges.
The Harvest Qiken is known to have
reached Bonneville at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Grave-like silence
has followed her subsequent move
ments. What work has been done toward re
moving the debris and snowslides cov
ering the O. R. & N. cannct be known
until she is reported, for she hastened
up the river to see just what the sit
uation is and to rescue the storm
bound passengers from the hemmed-in
trains, not one of which has been able
to get through for several days.
In the event the Chinook prevalent
here Is felt along the Columbia, it is
feared the snow will go out with a
rush, and damage may result more
serious than that wrought by the snow,
In which case the road may be out of
commission until near the end of the
week. No trains have left Portland
since Saturday nightt, and the inabil
ity of the operating department to es
tablish communication by water
around the blockade precludes any
chances of passengers or mail getting
through.
One of the stalled trains left The
Dalles lesterday for Bonneville, having
aboard 150 passengers, but it proceed
ed but a short distance when snow
trestle and was severly Injured. Sev
eral scows were capsized or smashed
against the docks.

Father Fight. Again to Save Him from

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 5. Prose
cuting Attorney Macintosh, of King
county, at 2:30 this afternoon filed in
formation charging Chester Thompson
who was acquitted Saturday on the
grounds of insanity of the murder of
Judge George Meado Emory, of Se
attle, with being a dangerous person.
The result of his action will probably
be that Superior Judge Snell will or
der a hearing to determine whether or
not the charge is well founded, and if
such proves to be the case, ChcBter
Thompson can be sent to the peni
tentiary for life.
W. H. Thompson, father of Chester,
argued and pleaded against such ac
tion, asking the Judge to take the only
other course possible under the law
discharge the young man and allow
his father to keep the promise made to
place his son in an asylum. Mackin
tosh objected, however, and the mat
ter is being discussed at further
length this afternoon. )
Jaw. How he escaped being crushed
, to death is a mystery to the attend
ing physician, as the man weighs morn
than 200 pounds.
Bailey and some companions were
working on the telephone lines that
were put out of commission by the
recent ntoon, when the accident hap
pened. He climbed a P'de and was
near the top when the strap on his
climbing spur broke. His foot slipped
from the spur, and, losing his balance,
Bailey plunged feet foremost towards
the earth. His fall was broken by
his clothes catching on a foot spike
protruding from the pole and to this
ho undoubtedly owes his life.
