HERM AN WISE Astoria's Biggest and Best CLOTHES Shop MMMMMMM MMIIMMtmWWHHHHmJ An Ugly Rumor Yesterday evening there was an ugly rumor circulating about the city to the effect that a suit-case had been discovered under one of the lower district saloons, and containing the slashed and bloody remains of a murdered human. The whole yarn was fairly dripping with gore and was, as usual with such tales, entirely improbable. The matter was evident ly believed . by its sponsors, because they took it to the office of Police Chief Gammal, who, to satisfy the people making the presentment, de tailed Officers Linville and Thomp son, to investigate the matter and report. This was done;. and the only substance to the story was that the men who discovered the grip (de voted friends of young Conrad An dcr, who has been missing for nearly two weeks), found a blood-stained canavs grip beneath the saloon of the "Big Swede" on the north side of As tor street. There was nothing in it, ana it was instant v recncmiA k Officer Linville as a grip that had been in the saloon (now closed) when some months ago a man was shot in the arm there and had allowed the blood to drip atf over the thing, which was cast out as rubbish when the sa loon was closed up.
