TWO LADIES Olf THEIS WAY HOME
HELD UP BY FRIGHTENED MAN
WITH DUMMY PISTOL MAN IS
SCARED AWAY.
On Saturday night at about 0:30 as
Mrs, Thos. l'srker, and daughter May,
war on their way boms, tbey were
rudely surprised at tbt comer of Seventh
and Franklin avenue, As they approach
ed tbo above corners, a man sprang from
th shadow and in a loud tont com
manded them to throw up tbeir bands.
Not replying at once, tht man confronted
them .and presenting what appeared to
be a pistol, demanded their valuables.
Hit implement was pointed at tht bead
of Miss Parker, and her mother struck,
from the baud of the assailant, tht
deadly appearing weapon. It was a
question who was tht most frlgbtend,
Mrs. Parker or tbt assailant. However,
Miss Parker with rare procnce of mind
and nerve, seized tbt thing and pointed
It at the man who scampered away, On
examining tbt deadly implement it was
found to lit a crude imitation , of a
pUtol. Tht bandit was rudely carved
from wood, the barrel wss a plots of
round iron, or stel, one-balf inch In
diameter, while for a hammer, for the
deadly weapon, a wire nail was used,
bent to appear as a hammer. It was a
fearful looking thing, as presented to
one's sudden view, at night and Mrs.
and Miss Parker art to bt commended
for their bravery. A description of the
assailant, was given tbt polite and soon
Harry Landers, a demented man, was
in custody. When brought before the
ladies, they were not positive in their
identification ,snd stated that although
tbt apparel of the man tallied with tbeir
observation, still they could not be poil-
live as to tht arrested man being tbe
culprit.! Chief Gamma! being satisfied
that tbe work was thst of one who was
not accountable for bis actions, and no
identification being possible, released
Landers.
Prom an examination of the supposed
pl-tol it could be seen at a glance that
only a boy or a half-witted person
could bsve constructed it. The ladies
received a fright but otherwise no barm
was done,

Defeat Albany Athletic Club in Football
by Scort of o to o.
On Sunday tbt football team of the
Albany Athletio Club went down to
defeat at tht bauds of tbe Astoria Club.
It was a perfect day for the sport, and
both teams being in fine condition, a
givat game was played.
Albany showed on the field, with a
line body of men, and they were looked
at askanca by the home team, before
the line up for play. Everyone was on
his mettle, and when tbe kick-off was
made, the scramble commenced. Good
plays were much in evidence, one par
ticular one being a place kick, by lien
son, from ' Albany's 30-yard line, Ste
blch, of the local team, gave a fine ex
hibition making teveral good plays His
advances of 3 and 10 yards at a time
brought to him the commendation of
bis team mates and the spectators.
Much credit is due to Captain Miuard,
for bis 'able handling of a good team, and
be will certainly receive it.
Tbo Albany boys, who are perfect
gentlemen, took their defeat with good
grace, and when they departed Sunday
night a large crowd, including the As
toria team were at the depot to bid
them a pleasant au revolr. If the Al
bany boys return here to play again it
will behoove Astoria to bustle some. The
next game will be on Sunday next, and
will bt between' Astoria and Bunker
Hill of Portland.

A BEAK NEAR FORI STEVENS-
HE IS AFTER ANOTHER SKIN IS
PRESENTED TO COL, WHITE.
For sometime' past, ttro bugs bears
have been prowling around Point Adams,
and the cemetery adjacent. Uncle Sam's
representatives, at Fori Stevens, and
Point Adams, anxious to emulate tbt
example, of our ' illuitrlout "Teddy"
wanted a bear.
Private Horn ins, located at Point
Adams, asked permission of bis superior,
Col. White, tbe commanding officer, to
bunt the bear. Col. White immediately
gave his consent and Routine started on
his bunt.
He trailed the bears, night and day,
watching every sign, and sleuth-like
finally located out of them. Taking de
liberate aim, bt emptied tbt contents
of hU regulation ride, and tht shot
struck home. Tbe bear dropped, but to
make assurance doubly sure, be fired a
second shot, and, approaching the ani
mal he fired two shots from his re
volver, into the carcass. And there was
a dead bear. Tbe skin of the animal has
been presented to Col. White, who is
having it stuffed, and it will toon be
exhibited as a trophy of the chase.
Col. White is elated at the success of
ons of his men and has extended bis
permission to private Romint, to con
tinue his good work. Romine says he
did not get tbt big one, and bit Colonel
clapped bim on the back and told him to
get It. Romine says he will. The
colonel Is popular with bis men and
there is not one of them who would not
like to present bim with a bear skin.
Lewis and Clark Items
Hon. Walt. J. Ingalls, tbe deputy war-
horse of the Lewis and Clark country,
was In the city yesterday, and reports
bis section of Clatsop in flourishing con
dition as to crops, politics, and real
estate activity. He says no one out
there is doing any unnecessary worry
ing about tbe financial situation preval
ent over the country, all hands having
abundant faith in the commercial and
financial resources that, are certain to
carry tbe country through any possible,
crisis. Mr. Ingalls says a number of farms
have changed bands up tbe creek lately,
C. S. Dow having disposed of a fine 80
acre place; Dan Ingalls and wife having
sold their L. A C farm of 100 acres;
Mr. Swigler having sold the Heckard
ranch to some dairy people; Thomas
Hansen having sold 140 acres to a Fort
Stevens man, for $1000; and the dairy
stock and equipment heretofore belong
ing to Mr. Vincent having been disposed
of to Hardlcy Gragg of this city. .
Some Kicking
Considerable compliment is being made
bv residents of Uuioutown, at tbe
methods of the contractor, on the im
provement of Bond street, at the west
end The street is torn up at the
terminous and is impassible for teams.
Foot pacnger8 are compelled to walk
orcr a narrow sidewalk, on tbe south
side, while on the north side there is
no means of passage. It is understood
that a walk will be built at once on the
north side, and much of the inconven
ience will be obviated. According to the
contract the contractors have the right
to keep the street closed until the com
plot ion of the contract, the time limit
of same being January 1, 1908. How
ever, it appears to be the intention of
tbe contractors to cause as little incon
ven io nee as possible, but as they are
responsible foe accidents occurring on
the street, during the continuance of
the contract, the city authorities cannot
interfere.

the assured- success of the new venture.
