Water Bailiff Scttem said that from
all he could hear the run this season

Drowned In River
Kurti Pckuri, a boatpuller for Cap

Booth Packing Cotnpany: was drown
ed at an early hour yesterday morn
ing while out on the river opposite
the Clatsop mills. They were return
ing in from a night's fishing and as
Pckuri was lowering the sail the
boom swung around and knocked
him into the water. The blow must
have stunned him, as he sank immc-
Idiately and did not arise. The body
was not seen again and had not been
I discovered at nightfall. He was a
native of Finlajid and had lived here

What Experting Costs
Says the .Willapa Harbor Pilot:
Ceorge P. Clark, the expert account
ant, who is now working on the
county records, in response to an In
quiry, stated yesterday that it would
probably cost Pacific county about
$300 yearly to have the records gone
over every six months. Mr. Clark Is
now regularly engaged by several of
the counties in Oregon for a semi
annual inspection of the county
books, and the offices are" always
very careful to have everything in
ship shape when he is due. Recently
the Clatsop county officials were sit
ting up nights to find an error of one
cent, as Mr. Clark is due to look over
the books there soon.
Knew His Name
"Me name is not 'O'Hone; 'tis
O'Hooney," indignately asserted the
prisoner at the bar before Judge An
derson in police court yesterday af
ternoon. Chief of Police Gammal ar
rested Mr. O'Hooney on a charge of
begging, and he turned out to be an
ugly beggar. The prisoner has lost
one foot and has left only the part
of the other, and under these circum
stances he would have ordinarily been
ignored or dealt with, very lightly by
the, police, but his language was
foul and his attitude so bold and vie
ious that it was deemed the part of
isdom to take him into custody.
Judge Anderson imposed a fine
$40 or twenty days, and O'Hooney
took Hobson's choice of the twenty
days.

Friendly Recollections
D. C. Ireland, once the admired
editor of the Morning Astorian and
happily remembered in this city in
many other ways, has the following
to say in his paper the Moro Ob
server, anent a little fire story the
Astorian published last week: "As
toria proposes having a group of old
time fire fighters a the coming re-
igatta. It would be pleasant but for
l the absence of Capt. Flavel, J. G.
; Hustler, Adam Van Dusen, John
iBadollett, A. J. Megler, and Oh, so
many other; old comrades, over on
j the other1 side of the great divide.
That's what makes us feel lonely in
Astoria."
i One By One They Appear
j Charles H. Haddix, of the cus
toms service, and a loyal Elk, came
j in on the noon express, yesterday,
from Dallas, Tex., where with all Elk
jtlom, he has been in attendance at the
Grand Lodge of that order. He says
Woman Insane-
Mrs. Mary Smith, an elderly worn
an who has lived some 16 or 17 miles
out in the Lewis and Clark district
for a good many years, was adjudged
insane yesterday by Judge Tren
chard, and 'will be taken to the state
asylum for the insane at Salem today.
Dr. Estes made the examination for
the unfortunate woman. His report
states that. the cause of her mental
derangement was "religion." While
religious dementia frequently occurs
when the mind has been weakened
from other causes, in this case there
seems to be much ground for ascrib
ing her insanity directly to religious
broodings and meditation. Mrs,
Smith is a widow, 65 years of age,
and has been affected for the past five
years. Her mind now is completely
shattered, and all her hallucinations
and mental processes run along re
igious lines. She was brought to
town yesterday morning easily
enough because she was told she was
going to church. Not wishing to lock
her up in the county jail over night,
Sheriff Pomeroy permitted the worn
an to be taken to an hotel, where an
attendant stayed with her. The un
fortunate woman caused no little
trouble, and the sheriff was appealed
to several times to lend his aid. She
tried to throw herself out "of a win
dow. The present violent attack has
lasted for over two weeks. The sher
iff had influence over her because he
was Introducd to her as a minister.

The rather startling discovery was
made yesterday that David J. Abbey,
who has been sick in his room for the
past seven or eight days,-is suffering
from a well developed case of small
pox. Dr. Clara Reames, the city phy
sician, was notified of the man's ill
ness yesterday morning and at once
went to his bedside. Dr. Reames at
once saw that he was suffering from
smallpox, and measures were imme
diately taken to safeguard the others
in the bouse from infection.
Abbey is one of the foremen at the
Clatsop mills, and also is the proprie
tor of the "Chrystal" rooming house,
which is over a saloon. Abut a week
ago Abbey was taken ill, but he neg
lected to call in a physician. There
are five roomers in the "Crystal," but
as far as is known, none of them has
been directly exposed to the disease.
The housekeeper, a woman, has been
exposed, however, it is understood.
Dr. Reames at once began prepa
rations to have Abbey removed to the
pest house, which is out near the
Wireless station, but an inspection
of the place showed it to be utterly
unfit to place a patient in it. All the
windows are broken out and in many
ways it was found to be utterly unfit
for habitation, therefore it was
found necessary to keep Abbey right
where he was. Dr. Reames vaccinat
ed all of the five roomers and thor
oughly fumigated their clothes and
the entire house. There is thought to
be comparatively little danger of a
spread of the disease, for more by
good luck than anything else it ap
pears as if the persons who have been
exposed are only one or two in
number. :
Where Abbey caught the disease is
a question. As far as is known there
have been no infected persons here.
It is said, however, that there is a
strong likelihood that in this case
the infection was brought down from
Portland, where there have been a
grat many cases during the summer,
though not of a virulent nature.
Abbey's case was discovered when,
on Friday evening, he called in a
friend of his, a drug store man. He
saw that there was something ser
ious the matter and reported the case
to the city physician.

Some days ago the Astorian hai
considerable to say about certain in
equities attaching to the case is
which Ira E. Gates, a drugzist in the
medical department 'at Fort Stevens,
sought to deprive his divorced wife,.
Mrs. Anna Marie Gates, of the cus
tody of the only child of the union, a
handsome little boy, which had beea
awarded to Mrs. Gates in the decree
granted her and which was not eve
answered, let alone contested, by the
delinquent husband.
It is glad now to give the pleasant
aftermath of the story," and to say
that a host of friends of Mrs. Gates
rallied to her cause in the premise
and sent in a plea for the restitution
of the baby boy, that was promptly
granted by Hon. Thomas A. McBride,
m open court at Hillsboro, on Friday
last; the venerable jurist so modified
his previous order as to require the
relinquishment of the child by -the
excellent lady to whose care it "baa
been committed, and granting the
mother permission to leave the juris
diction of the court with the infant at
any time. In obedience to this
command Sheriff M, R. Pome
roy at the instance of Mrs,
Gates' attorney, C. H. Abercrombie,
and under the terms of the later
ruling, went for the boy and deliv
ered him, finally, to the eager and
grateful custody of the devoted moth
er, whose happiness and gratitude
were good to see. '
Mrs. Gates left the city last evening
for San Francisco, where she will
enter the home of her brotbet
ames F. Hanigan, an artisan of that
city, and where -she will be happier
nd safer than she has been for some
years.
On her departure, Mrs. Gates found
great difficulty in even nearly express
ing her deep sense of gratitude for
the loyal good will and kindnesses
shown her in Astoria during tie
season of her trial and trouble. That
same good will is sure to follow her
to her new and happier home in the
south. The news of the pleasant
change in the court's order lias beea
known here since Friday night, but
was withheld upon request.
