Is Found Guilty
William Thompson, arrested on a
charge of stealing $20 from Jacob
Henning, was found guilty before
Justice Goodman yesterday afternoon
and sentenced to 15 days in the
county jail in lieu of a $30 "fine. The
case was prosecuted by Mr. Brownell,
the assistant district attorney. Thomp
son presented an unprepossessing ap
pearance in court. He was appar
ently just recovering from a de
bauch. His hands and body trembled.
One eye had been blacked by a stout
blow from somebody's fist. On the
other hand, Henning, the complain
ant, was of gentlemanly appearance,
though he calmly told without ap
parently feeling any shame bow the
money had been stolen from him
while he was in a beastly state of in
toxication. Both men had been drink
ingtogether. Thompson said he took
the money from Henning with the
idea of keeping it safely for him; and
that may be true, but he kept on
drinking and soon spent all of the
$20 that belonged to Henning.

Sunday School Month
During thc month of July the Rev.
Conrad L. Owen, pastor of the First
Baptist church, has not held the
regular Sunday morning services, but
instead has combined the preaching
service with the regular Sunday
school services, making a brief talk.
The results have apparently proven
beneficial to the church.' Tomorrow
will be the last of the combined serv
ices, as next month the pastor will
take in his regular sermons. Mr.
Owen is preparing an' address for the
evening of September 2 on the sub
ject of "The Relationship Between
the Church and the Lodge What
Should it be?" He believes that
there should be a closer bond of
union between lodges and the
churches and will invite lodge mem
bers to the services, and will also ask
representatives from various orders
to make short talks on the subject at
the close of his address.-

Johnson, who is living with his

day morning and was returning home
for his mid-day meal. When he reach

men was riding a horse and leading
another that he was taking to "the

sisted that he would ride the horse,
and was standing back of the animal
when an automobile passed close by,
frightening the horse, which reared
and kicked Johnson a powerful blow
in the head. The ambulance was

About Astoria Woman .
A dispatch from Everett, Wash., to
the Portland Telegram of last even
ing contained an allusion to a matter
that attracted considerable, attention
in Astoria a year or two ago. The
dispatch reads: "Stop that lady; she
killed her own child in Astoria last
year. i ne utterance was so unex
pected that it fell like a bomb in
polite court yesterday, when Justice
Lewis sentenced Chris Tombres to
30 days in the county jail for disor
derly conduct, preferred against himJ
by Pearl Miller. The woman was
making her way to the street from
the courtroom before the police mag
istrate partially recovered from his
surprise, and ordered her locked up,
pending investigation of the charge.
"Her right name is not Pearl Miller,
but Goldie Thome," Said Tombres. "I
knew her in Astoria, and she had a
baby about 14 months old.. The baby
disappeared by and by and Goldie
told me she had sent it home with her
sister. .She 'went to live with another
woman in Astoria. One day the two
had a big fight, and afterward, while
s-he was drunk, the .other 'woman told
me Goldie had killed "the baby in her
own house." The police are investi
gating the Greek's story.
the former contests is an assurance of
keen competition that will arouse the
the enthusiasm of the con
testants, and their adherents, and
a great exhibition of strength and
will-power will be the result.
At a later date, when the members
of the teams have been fully decided
upon, a list of the same will be pub
lished and, according to the Police
Gazette rules, which will govern the
contests, photographs of the teams
will be placed on exhibition for
identification.
The committee has confidence that
this event will be one of the best
features of the greatest regatta As
toria has ever given and will give
substantial cash prizes, in addition to
medals to the winners. Already con
siderable interest has been aroused
among the lovers of the game.;

The Rooster Won Out
Down on Captain Dan McVickar's
coast farm, near Seaside, the genial
pilot has a fine lot of chickens that
are carefully bossed by a huge
Plymouth Rock rooster, who has a
game strain in him. The other day
Captain McVickar had Captain E. B.
Parker at the ranch as a guest and
was showing the Astoria boniface this
fine .bird and expatioting upon his
fighting proclivities. Captain Parker
made" a few scrapping overtures to
ward the big .rooster and finally at
tracted his fighting notice. . Cap'
would jump at the bird, and then
jump back, and finally the "old scrap
per got his feet working and put
himself in shape for a combat. The
Astoria man was making his jumps a
little more pronounced each time and
mocking the old gamester at the
same time. As he was jumping back
ward from an aggressive lunge at the
rooster, his heel caught on a ridge of
sand and before he struck the ground
the rooster was all over him, tramp
ing and spurring and clucking in the
rage of battle It became necessary
for Captain Parker to roll over on his
face to dislodge the bird, and when
he arose, the rooster was crowing to
the very Heavens, and may be crow
ing yet, so proud was he of his vic
tory. . ,

That Astoria is "doing things", ha
more than oncse been noticed by
various papers throughout the State
of Oregon, and the following article
anent the matter is noteworthy for
the high praise accorded Mr. Whyte,
manager of the Chamber of Com
merce. The article is from the Al
bany Evening Herald, and is here
with given in full:
It is interesting to watch the work
of a practical booster. Down at As
toria they have a man by the nam
of Whyte who seems to have the
right idea. He came to Astoria us
the capacity of secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce' Jtj'that'growing city
by the sea, about ' a year ago, and
coincident with his advent things be
gan to boom dowirat the "mouth".
Secretary Whyte has done work for
Astoria which means much to that
city, v Despite the heavy odds of
having to work among a population
largely foreign and of whom perhape
half speak the English language
with difficulty; a population unused .
to new-world ideas, preferring the
slow-going life which looks not be
yond the narrow circle of each daye
individual neds, Mr. Whyte has ac
complished what many predicted im
possible. He has roused a lense of
civic pride and united the elements
of a cosmopolitan population into a
body that is laboring and doing for
Astoria. '
The work of Secretary Whyte a
witnessed in many new industries
which , have come to Astoria within
the last year and a half. Besides new
industrfes secured the town has set
to work to improve internally, and
is now working on a proposition to
fill in the tide fiats upon which the
business portion of the town rests,
Streets are being graded down and
the dirt fromj the hills dumped int
the lowlands. Mr. Whyte and the
Chamber of Commerce and the peo-
pic oi svsiona laoonng unueuiy, are
showing what can be done with a.
little effort
Since Astoria's publicity campaign
was started many people with capital
have invested in Astoria, and more
are coming it reports trom there
count.
This is one of Mr. Whyte's -methods
which 'strike the outsider as good in
his way of keeping newcomers in the
city. He finds them work. , In the
Astoria papers every day he inserts
an advertisement to the effect that
men out of employment can be fur
nished "good jobs" at "good wages"
by applying to him at the Chamber
of Commerce building. In this way
by ; keeping a list of situations Mr. '
Whyte is enabled to keep those
strangers who have come to the city
in search of work, attracted by the
advertisements of Astoria which are
running in Eastern papers.
Mr. Whyte's methods are in strong '
contrast with the methods of some
so-called boosters. So far as we
know his picture has not been deco
rating the pages of the newspaper
and magazines. Instead very often
in various publications pictures and
scenes of Astoria have appeared, and
the advantages of the "Gateway t
Oregon" have been admirably por
trayed. While, perhaps, many people
outside of Astoria do not know Mr.
Whyte's face they know of his work
for Astoria.
