Word From Warrenton
Yesterday there was quite a force
of telephone construction men down
Warrenton way, laying out the work
for the erection and installation of a
big extension to the Farmer-line
service out of this city; the line run
ning down through the. Clatsop coun
try and covlring a lot of new terrl
tory, much to the gratification of the
inhabitants thereof. The dog-poisoner
is abroad in the Warrenton district
and every dog down that way has be
come an object of active solicitude on
the part of its owner; for whosoever
owns a dog "be it ever so humble,1
deems it infinitely better than the man
or woman who goes about to poison
it, and rightly.

FOUR SEEKING CHIEF OF
E
BUT ONLY ONE OF THESE IS
MAKING ANY PARTICULAR
EFFORT TO GET IT.
It is said there are four candidates
for the oflice of chief of police, to suc
ceed Chief Gammal, who recently
tendered his resignation, They arc
Jimsley M. Houghton and Thomas
(former sheriff), both police officers,
and Clark Loughery, former chief of
police, and Captain James Tatton,
who is well known as a pilot and
former sea-going man. It is further
said, however, that none of these, ex
cept possibly Mr. Loughery, is an ac
tire in the sense that he is making
any particular efforts to land the job,
but each is apparently waiting to see
just which way the cat is going to
jump.
There seems to be an impression
that Captain Tatton is the strongest
candidate, but it is understood that
he will make no effort to secure the
place at all, according to one or more
of his friends, though quite willing to
accept if the position comes his way.
Just what influence politics will
have in the matter is said to be prob
lematical Commissioner Page is a
Democrat; Commissioner Ford is a
Republican, while Mr. Gordon, who
is slated to succeed Commissioner
Laurin, is- a Democrat,- and his ex
pected appointment would leave the
board safely Democratic Captain
Tatton is a Democrat, and the only
man of that political faith who is after
the job.
v The only objection intimated
against Captain Tatton is that he has
had no experience in police work,
while the two police officers, Linville
and Houghton, are admittedly able
and experienced men in this line of
work, and, of course, Mr. Loughery
also does notvlack in matter of ex
perience. It is said that politics is not likely
to cut much of a figure in the ap
pointments, and on every side among
those who are interested in the city's
affairs is heard the wish that a keen,
bright and alert man will get the
place, and one who can be depended
upon to enforce the laws of the city
and state.
"Whoever is appointed," said a man
last night, "it is to be hoped that he
will be one who will so arrange mat
ters that the police department and
the sheriff's office will work in har
mony, for there has been altogether
too much of a spirit of antagonism
between these two departments."

GUILTY OF Mill
HE LEAVES TO!
OFFICERS PILE UP DAMAGINO
TESTIMONG AGAINST W. L.
SERGEANT IN COURT.
W. L. Sergeant is the name of a
man who appeared before Judge An
derson, m police court yesterday af
ternoon on a charge of vagrancy, pre
ferred by Police Officer Dan Belcher,
Sergeant is a likely looking young
man, who is well known in certain
circles in this city. Four police offi
cers testified in court yesterday that
he has never done any work while in
this city and that he is an idle and
dissolute person. Meantime Sergeant
kept fidgeting in his chair while the
officers kept piling up their testimony
against him.
Judge Anderson found the defend
ant guilty. A fine of $30 or 15 days
in jail was imposed. At this point
Attorney McCue, who was represent
ing the prisoner, arose and said that
his client had planned to leave the
city and wished to do so, and that if
the fine were remitted he would go
and probably stay. Judge Anderson
acted upon this suggestion and it is
probable that this city will not know
Sergeant any more, at least for a long
time to come. A year ago he was
arrested on a similar charge and then
was fined $60.
It was apparent that Sergeant
thought he was treated very badly.
He has had an interest in "S saloon in
Portland until recently, and he testi
fied that he has not actually been ia
Astoria more than ten days since he
sold out of the saloon about two
months ago. For a week or more
he has been out in the Nehalem on
an outing trip. But he preferred to
live in the red-light district in a
house that is not supposed to take
lodgers and therefore the police got
after him.
Dorothy Melvin was also charged
with vagrancy. She appeared in court
with a face of infantile innocence, and
through her attorney asked for a con
tinuance until today. Back of the
charge of vagrancy is a suspicion that
she robbed a man of $80.
TRACE OF MISSING MAN. '
