The report that a loaded American
three-masted ship was outside yester
day afternoon, has given rise to the
belief that it is the salmon ship Ber

fleet will have arrived

stray bullet is quite probable, of
course, but none the less n might
have done serious damage. The police
were notified of the episode but their
efforts to ascertain who it was that
fired the shot were unavailing. ,
t about 7:30 o'clock yesterday
morning Mr. Van Dusen was silting
in a chair reading the morning paper,
when he suddenly heard a sound as
of shattering glass. He hastily arose
and made an investigation, and in the
kitchen found a window that had been
perforated and more or less shatter
ed by a bullet. He went' out - and
looked around the neighborhood from
whence the missive must have come,
but could not find anybody who had
heard a shot or knew anything about
the matter.
Returning to the house Mr. Van
Dusen again sat down in the chair
where he had been when the shot
was tired, and a mtiment later Mrs.
Van Dusen saw something on a sofa
which attracted her attention. It
proved to be a bullet, more or less
flattened out of shape. How the
bullet found its way to the sofa is a
mytsery to Mr. Van Duscn, It must,
apparently, have struck the very chair
in which he was sitting, and to reach
pthe chair it must have passed through
three doors. Evidently k had been
deflected in its course until finally.
triking some resisting surface, it
dropped or bounded onto the lounge.
The occurrence seems to be simply
another of the many cases of care
less shooting that is but too prevalent
in and around Astoria. Some boy
may have fired the shot, and it is
known that boys are in the habit of
discharging fire-arms within the city
limits. Or the shot may have come
from laborers who were working up
on the heights at the time. In the
hope that the miscreant who fired the
shot may be discovered, or that the
action may have some deterrent effect
upon others in the future, Mr. Van
Dusen said last evening that he will
give a reward of $10 for proof( of the
identity of the person. It is probable
that this sum would be doubled by
others in the neighborhood, who feel
alarm over the matter of flying bul
lets. It was only recently that some
Italian laborers fired several shots
directly at Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Ri(k-halgh as they were taking a walk
near the City Park.
FARMER IS ACCUSED OF
USING REVOLVER
JOHN A. EKSTROM SECURES A
WARRANT FOR ARREST OF
FRED HARTMAN.
A warrant was sworn out in the
justice court yesterday afternoon
against Fred Hartman, a prominent
farmer out near Svenson, charging
him with assault with a deadly wea
pon, ihe complaint was maue ty
John A. Ekstrom, also a well-known
farmer of that district, and it is un
derstood that behind the formal com
plaint lies a charge that Hartman shot
at Kkstrom's sorr with a revolver. '
The two men have been in trouble
before and once before Hartman had
Ekstrom arrested. The trouble seems
to have arisen over the opening of the
new county road there, and incident
ally over the question of fences and
cattle that stray. . ; .
Hartman is said to be now in Port
land, where he also, has interests, and
no attempt will be made to serve the
warrant until his return. The men
are neighbors,

Civic League In Session
There was an interesting session of
the Astoria Civic Improvement
League at the parlors of the First
Presbyterian church last evening,
when a goodly number of the large '
membership answered the call .sent ,
out. By some nusuiiderstaiidinir. it
was supposed that last evening was
the date fixed by the constitution for
the annual election of officers; but
upon discovery of the error, the meet
ing resolved itself into an , informal
group of interested Astoria citizens,
and proceeded to discuss men and,(
things and dates and prospective ;
engagements, political, social, civic, .
all with a tendency to more distinc
tivc treatment f at the meeting called f
for two weeks hence. There were 28
new members taken in last evening,
and the league is in nourishing condi-
tion in all ways.
