For street superintenden t there
ire four Republicans filed, as fol

and it will be left to the primary to
determine which man will run.
Charles H. Abercrombie also filed
for the office of city attorney, and it
is probable that he will meet no op
position, having made a good record.

"frightened to; death, jlf they 'don't

promiscously, and up to last reports,
and according to stubs for checks,
had passed upon their ' unsuspecting
victims checks amounting to $360.
1 Amrtftir these were $128 to Victor
Rqs-for two patches; A. uanziger
& Co., $27.5 for a suit of clothes,
and $S."2.S.Jor othef goods; Spexarth
& Co., $85; A. jaioff, $53; and P. A.
Stokes, for clothes, $21.2$.
Y About. ifl'clock last night P. A.
Stokes' interviewed Acting Chief
Oberg and stated that he thought he
was victimized by a bad check, and
asked that action be taken irmne
diately Obfcrg lost no time but re
paireJ to:,the ' Megler House, where
he .was fold the , men stopped, . but
realizing tba his uniform and star
might Ibeiray him " returned to the
station and reappeared as a "plain
clothes man." Calling Officer Thomp
son he proceedd to the Megler
House and found his men whom he
immediately took to the station.
He' had no sooner landed his pris
oners, and the news got abroad, than
the office as besiezed by victims
clamoring for justice and a restitu-
! tion 'of their property. '' " .,
I A search of the prisoners resulted
I in the finding of the bank books, $104
in coin, two gold rings, both new,
and several other articles. Singer
had $94 and his co-worker $10. and
the former claimed that the amount
belonged to him.
, The man who posed as "Kramer"
on the business cards gave the name
of Samuel Marho at the station and
Singer was mooked as "S. Singer"
and both are 'being held pending
charges to be made against them.
It may pt shown, aside from the
entries' on the check book, that other
checks have been issued and it is
thought' that probably there are.
t The' quick work done by the police
in the matter is to be commended,
and While the culprits have been land
ed and are safely under control, Act--ing
Chief 6berg was last night sift
ing the matter as thoroughly as was
possible at the late hour at which he
received his first intimation of sup
posed1 wrong doing, and there " may
be further developments. That the
'men, of at least Singer, are adepts
at the business, was shown by their
method of procedure and it is to the
credit of Astoria that the men were
''rounded ;to" in this city. It is
thought that probably" other, cities
will make inquiry regarding the
prisoners and further' developments
are expected.

MANILA, Oct. 24. In .a desper
ate fight, prolonged for hours, which
occurred yesterday near lligan, Is
land of Mindanao, nine' of the Fili
pino laborers and their superinten
dent, also a native, were killed by the
Moros and four other natives were
wounded. Whether Aor.not. the at
tacking Moros suffered any los can
not now be ascertained. The fight
took place upon the Shepherd plan
tation. The Moro band, following the
tactics usually employed by ..the out
laws, attempted a surprise which was
so far successful that several men
were killed in the first rush. The Fili
pinos then rallied and aer a bloody
hand to hand struggle, drove the Mo
ros to shelter, after which the battle
was. continued for several hours at
long range. The bodies of the dead
Filipinos were mutiliated in a horri
ble manner. Before being driven off
the Moros succeeded in firing the
plantation stores which with their
contents were destroyed.
