The British ship Wynnstay, Cap
tain Thomas Williams, crossed in
from Valparaiso, yesterday, after a
quick passage of 60 days. She is in
ballast and will load grain out from
the Portland Flour Mills for Europ
ean delivery. Captain Williams "re
ports that he made Cape; M ears in
exactly 45 days, and .has been the
rest of the time mafcirfg" it to the
mouth of the Columbia. The
Wynnstay is counted one of the fast
est of the British bottoms now afloat,
and this is proven by the fact that
she left Callao, Peru, on the 14th ol
March last for Newcastle, Australia,
where she discharged ballast and
loaded coal for Valparaiso, discharg
ing there and taking on ballast for
this river, all in 193 days. He also
reports that when the Wynnstay
broached the tropics on this voyage
he ran into ne of the worst hurri
canes he ever experienced in all his
career at sea, and in which he lost a
full suit of sails, everything going
from the bolt ropes in rags and
streamers; he had to bend everything
anew after the 48 hour session o

Joe Delaney, the genial chief engi

Arago, is almost a hermit on board
that handsome little craft, owing to
the fact that he has nowhere to go

He used to possess the biggest and
finest white moustache on the lowei

the other day he shaved the ornament
off. And now nobody knows him

The steamer Sue 11. Elmore has
not yet left port for Tillamook as
she was billed to do yesterday.
There is some confusion as to her
passenger limit and the people who
want to go out on her, and the mat
ter has been submitted to the inspec
tors of Hulls and Boilers at Portland,
and will probably be adjusted today.
The fine old Harvest Queen came
down the river yesterday morning
with a big grist of freight, and after
loading on a lot more for Portland,
at the O. R. & X. piers, picked up the
French ship General Foy and took
her along up the Columbia.
Four days later than stye had been
expected, the steamship Nebraskan,
of the American-Hawaiian Line, will
arrive in the Columbia today with
freight sent direct from New York by
the Tehauntepec Railroad. She has
450 tons dead weight of general mer
chandise consigned to local mer
chants. The local freight will meas
ure 1200 tons and the steamer will be
here tie besh part of two days dis
charging and taking on freight for
the return trip to the metropolis. The
Xebraskan's delay was occasioned by
the fact that she carried a big ship
ment of structural steel from Salina
Cruz, the western terminus of the
railroad, to San Diego to discharge.
From there the material was sent to
Los Angeles by rail. This plan was
pursued that the craft might lose no
more time than absolutely necessary.
The steamer South Bay arrived irf
from San Francisco yesterday morn
ing and discharged ten tons of her
freight at the Callender dock, after
which she went, on up the river to
load lumber for the outward voyage,
The Standard Oil steamship Asun

and clocked at the Kinney dock long
enough to fill the big tanks of the
company there, and then proceeded

tropolis yesterday evening at 5
o'clock, and will leave out for San
Francisco on the nood flood today.

Santa Rita entered port yesterday
morning and was met by Captain

GRAND JURY RETURNS
TWO TRUE BILLS.
ONE IS , AGAINST CHARLES
BERTELSON, PROPRIETOR
THE WARWICK SALOON.
Shortly before 5 o'clock last even
ing the grand jury filed into the court
room, where Judge McBride was
waiting in expectation of their com
ing, and the foreman handed a report
over to the judge. This report con
sisted of two true bills returned
against Charles Bertleson, proprietor
of the Warwick saloon on Commer
cial street, and Emil Janssen, the
Belgian who cut and slashed several
Hindus in a street brawl on August
10th.
The true bills against Bcrtleson
and Janssen are not unexpected. Mr.
Bertleson is charged with having
pointed a "loaded pistol at Police Offi
cer Emslie Houghton. The officer
had gone into the saloon to investi
gate the presence there, of a woman
whom he had seen enter the place,
and, finding her sitting in a wine
room, he attempted to place Bertle
son under arrest. Thereupon, it is al
leged, the latter quickly, jacked up a
revolver that was kept behind the
bar and pointed it at the ofticer Ac
cording to the accounts of the matter
told at the time, Houghton parleyed
with the saloon man and finally pre
vailed upon him' to put the weapon
down.
The case of Janssen, the Belgian,
will probably be recalled by many.
He cut and slashed five Hindus, after
one of them had successfully fought
with the brawny Belgian longshore
man. Tlfe formal indictment is made
out with the Henna Singh as the com
plaining witness. i '
Aside from a number of civil cases
there was little of public interest in'
the circuit court proceedings yester
day. It is probable the grand jury
will remain in session during the
week, unless some unexpected mat
ters arise to demand their attention.
The fact that representatives of the
Civic Improvement League are not to
appear before that body to submit
evidence in relation to the alleged
violation of the Sunday closifig law
by one vor more saloonkeepers na
turally attracted more or less atten
tion in circles, when announced in
the Astorian yesterday.
The case of the state against Rob
ert Casey is set for this morning at
9 o'clock. In the case of the stale
against Robert Wilburg, which has
been continued to the February term,
cash bail was yesterday taken to in
sure the appearance of Effic
Moore as a witness.
HELP CHINESE IN.
Arrests Made In Los Angeles Of Al
leged Smugglers.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23.-After
weeks 'of careful investigation of a
gigantic plot to -smuggle Chinese
across the Mexican border, the local
federal officers have succeeded in ob
taining .indictmnts against two Los
Angeles men and three Mexicans who
formerly lived near Long Beach. It
is asserted that other indictments will
follow.
The men indicted are Jesse D. Sut
ton, G. J. Patch, A. H. Patch, Fran
cisco Chavise, Ignace Barrios and
Salvador Armentcs. The last three
have been under arrest for several
days. The Americans were arrested
last night.

SEASIDE FARMER
IS
SHOT AI1D KILLED
DEATH OF ALBERT OLSON
MAY PROVE TO BE MUR
DER, OR AN ACCIDENT.
Albert Olson, a farmer residing in
the Seaside district, was shot and
killed some time Tuesday, presumably-'
by a man whose name is not yet
known. The slaying is presumed to
have been accidental, though up to a
late hour last night the actual facts
in the matter were not known either
at Seaside or in this city.
The information of the death was
first heard here when a message was
cut to Coroner Gilbaugh yesterday
morning, telling him of the death of
Olson and asking him to go there at
once and make an investigation. Mr.
Gilbaugh started for the scene of
the death immediately and it is pos
sible that he may not get back to
Astoria before this morning.
From all accounts that could be as
certained by The Astorian last night
Olson had been working near the
Xecanicum school house, and Tues
day he started out hunting in com
pany with a man who is called the
Frenchman and whose name is not
known as yet. It is presumed that
the I'rcnchman, who was apparently
walking behind Olson, suffered somi
accident, whereby his gun was dis
charged, the contents striking Olson
and killing him.
In a telephone conversation witji
Frank Scott of Seaside last night
very little"- could be learned of th
matter beyond the facts that Olson
is dead and that he was in coinpanj
of the Frenchman at the time of the
tragedy. Mr. Scott said that the
Frenchman has not been seen since
and that he is out in the mountains
Of course the fact that the French
man' has virtually disappeared may
indicate murder, instead of an acci
dent, or on the other hand, his ab
sence may be explained on the
ground of sudden fright over the
terrible matter, and the fear that h
might not be able to explain jus
how the affair occurred in a satisfac
tory manner. , .
That Coroner Gilbaugh will make a
thorough investigation o'f( the affai
may be taken as an assured fact, and
doubtless upon his return to the. city
the matter will be cleared up. It is
understood the affair occurred before
they had reached the grounds where
they intended to hunt.

THE MAYOR STATES CORPSE
FOUND BY LIFE SAVERS
MAY NOT BE DIVER'S.
According to statements made by
Mayor Wise and other members of
the Regatta committee there appear
to be grave doubts that the body o
the man found and .buried by t It
members of the Ocean Park life sav
ing station was that of Frank Sulli
van, the high "diver who met hit deaf '
from the shin Donna Franceses on
the opening day of the recent Re
gatta. Criticism had been made of
the Regatta committee because the
body was left to- lie in the sand;
and finally to be buried by the mem
hers of the life-saving crew.
"From all we could learn," said
Mayor Wise last night, "the body
vas not that of Sullivan. Personally,
1 had never seen the young man and
even knew nothing of him havin
been retained to make his high dive.
But Mr. Staples and those who knew
him, and were with him but a mo
ment before he ascended into the
rigging of the Donna Francesco to
make his perilous dive," knew j
how he was attired.
"His attire consisted of a blue Jer
sey sweater, with no lettering on it,
and with a pair of blue regulation
sailor trousers with wide bottoms.
Around his waist lie had tied a green
sash, or belt, tied tightly."
When the body was found the life
saving station telephoned to Mayor
Wise, who asked for a description.
Last night Mayor Wise said that the
description given him of the body
found bore little or no resemblance
to that of Sullivan. For one example,
it had on a pair of green jeans, or
overalls.
Feeling satisfied that therefor it
was not the body of Sullivan, noth
ing more was done. Especially were
the members of the Regatta commit
tee satisfied that it was, not the body
of Sullivan, inasmuch as Sullivan is
said to have not worn any lettering
on his sweater. On the breast of
the drowned body were the letters
A. A. R. Such is Mayor Wise's state
ment. Perhaps a better understanding of
the whole matter may 4e had if the
members of the life saving crew will
now give a good description of the
drowned body and the clothes the
man had worn. Mayor Wise says
he makes this statement at this some
what late day because he has been
out of the city since the time of the
published criticism in the Astorian of
the presumed lack of decent atten
tion on the part of the Astoria Re
gatta committee,
