"In The Judgment Seat"
Hon. Thomas A. McBritle, Judge
of the Fifth Judicial District of Ore
gon, yesterday initiated the beautiful
court room of hi department in the
new county court house of Clatsop.
The bench is large and roomy, with
sweeping lines, in which the rich
browns ot the polished oak showed
to strong advantage. The great bar
table, court-reporter's desk, clerk's
desk, witness-box, jury-box, and the
heavy, handsome rail enclosing the
whole, are architecturally attractive
and the point of utility is conspicuous
everywhere in the ensemble. The
room presents one of the real pictures
of a court; such a one as but few
temples of justice in this western
land can boast; and it is a very dis
tinct credit to the city and county,
andis so commented on by strangers
and home-people alike. There are 36
candelabra in the room, with three
lights to each, beside a ceiling-circle
of 32 powerful incandescents under
the great ventilating shaft under the
dome. And the oak furniture, chairs
and benches, are in strict accord with
the main fittings of the room.'
Mrs. Thompson Dead
Mrs. Bridget Thompson, a resident
of Clifton, passed away, in this city,
about one o'clock yesterday after

adopted child. The funeral will take
place Monday from St. Mary's Cath
olic Church but the hour has not been
decided upon. The interment will be
in Greenwood Cemetery. .

An Impetuous Lover-
There is a young lady urXhjs city
who came down the first of lasvWek
to visit friends, and to evade the a
tentions of a lover who was far more
impetuous than agreeable, and whom
she thought to suppress by an ab
sence of 10 days 'or two weeks In
this she was mistaken. Finding out
where she was, he called her up on
"long-distance" telephone, and in
tones of anger and reproach bade her
return instantly, and upon her point
blank refusal to do so, informal her
angrily that he was coming down af
ter her and coming with a gun, or
words to that effect. His stormy talk
was overheard and reported to the
Portland police, who got on his
trail at once, and advised the police
' this city of the man and matter,
n arrival here Friday night, he was
tabbed and taken to the police sta
tion, the young lady, in the meantime,
having been informed by the police
of his visit. He was under detention
until 2 o'clock yesterday morning,
and though he had no gun on his
person, was watched closely by the
officers until his departure , on the
8:20 express for the metropolis yes
terday evening. Names are withheld
out of consideration for the young
lady. But these are the facts.
