Captain Macgenn, of the Breakwater

three-quarters of a miles from the
being supplied with food stores and
coal, and one of the local tugs had
been chartered to take her to San
Francisco where she will go on the
drvdock at once: her rudder and
rudder-post are gone completely and
the damage she suffered is measur
ed at approximately $15,000. She
was to have left Coos on Sunday for
the southern tow.
The motor schooner Delia, Cap
tain Anderson commanding, cheese
laden from Nestucca, entered port,
or started to enter port, on Sunday
night and went to the mud off Buoy

once for Tillamook as there is plenty
of freight awaiting them.
Captain Jack Anderson, the popu
lar master of the steamer Hassalo is
back in the wheel house, much im
proved from his late attack of lum

more, as his friends at this end of
the river are. They were pretty blue
about him for sometime.

CI CHECK GASES
SINGER AND MARHO CHARG
ED WITH RECEIVING GOODS
UNDER FALSE PRETENSES
' The arrest of the two men who
have been operating in bad checks in
Astoria, during the past week, was
the occasion of much comment Sun
day and yesterday. No more victims
have beert found but there are suffic
ient indignant business men' to as
sure a vigorous prosecution.
The work of these men was, as
stated in the Astortan, very smooth
but later statements made by the
victimized merchants show that the
men worked on a system even craf
tier than was at first supposed.
Their plan of work was such as to
mislead the careful business man
No checks were cashed with the vie
tims, nor any money received t from
them, the checks being made out for
the exact amount of the purchases.
The men are supposed to have
reached this city on Monday and
commenced operations by the de
posit in the bank. Then one of them
proceeded to make small purchases
at different stores paying in checks
which when taken to the bank were
honored. After continuing this un
til Friday Singer posed as a solicitor
for trade under a scheme known as
the "Astoria Investment Co;," which
undertook to sell goods on weekly
installments. He entered the estab
lishment of Victor Rost on Friday,
and having made a small purchase
there earlier, in the week was ac-
nnainted with the Droorictor. He
stated that he had a customer for a
watch and asked what commission
he would be allowed on the sale, he
to oav cash and collect in install
ments,from the purchaser. On being
told he left and later returned with
the supposed customer who, after
inspecting several watches, selected
one which with chain was priced at
$128. Singer gave his check for the
amount, and the customer took the
watch with him when "both left the
store. On Saturday Singer returned
to collect his commission but. as Mr.
Rost had not as yet cashea the check
he would not pay " the commission
and Singer then Informed him
that he was not anxious about the
money but wanted another watch for
a prospective purchaser. He picked
out at 54J time-piece to WRC 10 uic
customer paying for it with a check.
Later Mr. Rost became . suspicious
and made some inquiries wmcn rc-
suited in the discovery by him that
several checks were abroad' with
little or no money, in the bank to
meet them. Others had alsd made a
similar discovery and the men were
soon behind the bars: ; 1 .
All the goods have been recovered
and, with the exception of Mr.
Rost's watches, returned to the own
ers, they beipg held at Mr.- Rost s
request At the station it was found
that one of the watches was missing
but a search by Chief Oberg dis
closed it concealed in the undercloth
ing of one of the men. '
A charge of receiving goods un
der false pretenses has been filed
airainst the men and their hearing
will take place this morning at Judge
Goodman's court, the absence from
the ctiy of Deputy District Attorney
Brownell precluding its being held
yesterday.' C. J. Curtis will appear
as attorney for the accused men and
there js' little doubt that much inter
est will be manifested in the case.

SPLENDID SHOWING MADE
, BY OUR BOYS AT PORT
LAND YESTERDAY.
According to a special dispatch re
ceived by the Astoriim, last night,
from Charles Abcrcrombie, coach of
the H'gh School football team, the
Astoria team deefatcd the Portland
Academy team by a score of 11 to 4.
The game was a fine one throughout
and according to the telegram the
Portland team never made yardage.
The defeat of, the- Portland team is
really quite a notable victory, for
even the well wishers of the local
eleven hardly hoped for a victory in
the first game. The Portland Acad
emy boys have been playing right
along and have made ' an " excellent
record. The Astoria boys , go to
Eugene next, to play the high school
there, but will stop at Salem on the
way and probably will play a prac
tice-game with' the school team of
that city. !no regular game was
sought with the Salem team for the
reason that it was figured three
games in one week would, be too
many.
Covered With Flowers
The grave of George Knudsen,
who was buried Sunday in Green
wood, was literally covered with
flowers, many of them being very
beautiful. Some were in the form of
set pieces, while others wer merely
little offerings made by friends. The
funeral was , largely attended, per
haps ISO people making the journey
to the grave. The funeral party went
in the steamers Julia B. and the
Miler. The Rev. W. S. Gilbert con
ducted the funeral services, both at
the home and at the cemetery. The
Teamsters Union attended in a body.
AMUSEMENTS
"THE RIVALS" THURSDAY.
The writers of comedy these days
have not improved upon the work of
century and a quarter ago when
Richard Brinsley Sheridan penned
"The Rivals.", The natural and unc
tious humor in this play is caused by
the scared bravery of Bob Acres, the
quaint, infectious manner of the
prince of Irish gentlemen, "Sir Lu
cius OTrigger," the blustering Sir
Anthony Absolute, and the awful
mutilation of the King's English by
Mr. Malaprop, while the numerous
complications of the plot, are as
laughable' as they were 40 years ago,
when the illustrious actor, the late
Joseph Jefferson first made his fame
as "Fighting Bob" in "The Rivals."
Two of his sons have succeeded him
and are now "appearing In this, com
edy with phenomenal success. Wil
liam W. is the Bob Acres, while Jo
seph appears as Sir Lucius OTrig
ger,' and the rest of the parts are
oortrayed by most capable artists
and a performance of more than or
dinary interest may be expected
when the Jefferson boys present
The Rivals.""' ;

It is said to possess the true, west

its success upon the brisk action, ex
citing climaxes- and stage mounting,
together ''with an adroitness of dra

plot. The company number 30 peo
