For over 48 hours Jacob Aho, who ;
lives in a scow along the waterfront j
in Uoiontown, has been besieged in j
his floating' home by police officers'
and representatives from the sher
iff office who have sought to en-1
compa his arre&t. Aho is thought
to, be Insane, and his actions tend to j
corroborate this clearly. j
He is known to be armed and for j
that reason, it ha been ( a difficult 1
matter to arre him, ai the officers
naturally did not feci instified in in
juring the apparently demented man.
, Shortly before noon ., yesterday
Chief of Police Obcrg and one of
the deputies from the jhtrifTs office
tried to capture Aho by strategy; as
the police chief rowed in a boat to
the rear of the houe boat, the deputy
alighted onto the platform and
knocked at the door, Aho came to
the door. He glanced at his visitor
and without hesitation jumped for
ward and threw him into the river.
It was not a difficult thing to do, as
the deputy sheriff had very little
foothold, but the energy with which
Aho acted taught the officers a little
more prudence.
A few moments later a man up on
the street shouted to the officers to
be on their guard, as he could see
that Aho had procured his revolver
and was on the lookout for a shot at
them,
The house boat lies in deep water
several feet from the nearest ladder
that leads; down jo it, from, the
wharf.' One could not hardly
choose a better place for a state of
siege, and Alio evidently recognized
he fact that he had conditions all on
his side: That he. would shoot to
kill at the slightest opportunity ii
probable, On the two preceding
nights he had 'terrorized the imme
diate neighborhood by shooting off
his revolver promiscuously, one bul
let almost grazing a woman's cheek.
Lat-t night Clark ' Longhery and
another man were deputised by the
sheriff to try to capture Aho. It was
expected that if he saw no one
around he would come out and go to
. , . .
nc vi ine nearuy stores tor sup
plies. Once on the street it . was
thought there would be little diffi
culty in capturing him.
Aho has been a fisherman, and
also has acted as a watchman in one
tf the canneries. What the cause of
his' insanity is can onlv hr
tured. He has a manuscript dealing
with socialist questions, and this
seems to bear heavily on his mind.
Like many others that become in
sane he also has the hallucination
that he is being watched and pur
sued and his revolver shots appar
ently were directed toward some of
his lmaerinarv enemies:.
If the deputy sheriffs fail to cao-
ture Aho during the night it is plan
nedto cut the ropes on the houseboat
and pull it close into shore at some
convenient spot sometime today, and
then make a determined effort to
take him. The plan includes the use
of fire hose, as it is figured that a
stream of water will render him
helpless about as quick as anything,
and at the same time will not in
jure him.

RARE MUSICAL TREAT
Gil ASTORIAfiS
Tenor's Hard Luck
The quite small but very appreci-!
ative audience that listener! to ttio!
beautiful songs of Otto F. L. Herse
at the Hagar theatre Thursday night
proDaoiy had no inkling of the finan
cial difficulties that were facing this
very tine singer. Herse was un
knowi in Astoria,, Many who heard
him were charmed with his singing,
with his clear expression, his beau
tiful tones, and his fine presence. A
tew raved over.lnm after the concert
was over, But after the concert was
over Herse had to do some close
figuring. In his pocket was a $20
gold piece. The receipts of the house
were $33. His advertising bills
amounted to $20 more. Rent for the
theatre took more than the receipts
of the night, and the $20 gold piece
in nis pocket would not pay all of
tne advertising bills. Herse pawned
nis oeautitul gold watch, and hung
tne gom piece for emergencies,
lie got away in all decency. Perhaps
more man one who had -the good
fortune to hear him will hone that
the time may come when Herse may
return to Astoria tree from that
curse which afflicts all who have to
figure on mere dollars and cents. "In
tne comic papers an experience of
this kind is funny, I know," said
Herse, '"but in reality 1 r-, "

FOUR iMUSICAL ARTISTS DE
LIGHT LARGE AUDIENCE
. AT THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH LAST NIGHT
The first of a series of four con
certs to be given at the Presbyterian
church was presented to a large and
select gathering at the church last
night and to say that the affair was a
success would be putting it mildly
indeed. The Four Musical Artists:
Mr. Shonert, Miss Smith, Mr. Pfouts
and Mr. Carr are all musicians of
rare talent and are without a doubt
the best seen in Astoria for many
days.
The program which is set out be
low was carried out to the letter, and
beyond, as it was necessary for the
artists to respond after each number
to at least one encore and in many
instances three and four were de
manded by , the enthused audience.
And they were not disappointed as
the entertainers were very liberal
and answered handsomely to the ap
plause bestowed upon them.
Miss Smith's singing was an inno-!
vation to Astorians, her greatest tri
umph, no doubt, being her first single
number, "Russian Airs," which was
rendered in a fashion which plainly
showed Miss Smith's exquisite voice
and excellent training.
Mr. Carr with his beautiful bass
voice thrilled his hearers to the ut
most, and it is very hard indeed. to
judge who, between Mr. Carr and
Miss Smith scored the greatest
success.
Many in the gathering who were
more partial to instrumental selec
tions than to vocal had some very
nice things to say about Mr. Pfount's
violin playing and . Mr. Shonert's
piano, both gentlemen whom are
polished musicians in their respective
lines and are recognized throughout
the country as being among the lead
ing musicians of today.
All in all the night was a complete
success in every detail and as the au
dience filed out of the church noth
ing but the highest of praise could
be heard for the participants," as
well as the parties responsible for
the concert that gave Astorians 'the
treat of the season in classic music.

PERSOIIAL OEFITlOii
A Happy Culmination
"Geo. P. Clark and wife, Portland,
Oregon." Thus runs the happy le
gend across the top line of yester
day's registrations at the Hotel Oc
cident, in this city; and those who
know George best hereabout, will
rejoice with him in the privilege that
was his in making that entry on the
famous old register. It means that
Mr. and Mrs. Clark are on their
honeymoon journey, having stopped
over in Astoria for a day to oermit
Mr. Clark to meet some business as
sociates and close up some of his
work. They were married in Port
land on the 30th of October and the
bride (nee Miss Marie E. Fleener. of
Salem, Oregon), was the gentle
nurse who tended Mr. Clark through
his recent, serious illness over at
South Bend. The happy couple will
go hence to Los Angeles and winter
there; and they will take with them
the utmost good-will of friends ' in
Astoria for a happiness that shall be
as durable as it is delightful.

Many Troubles
Perhaps the residents along the
Scow Bay waterfront will readily
agree with one'W. Shakespeare that
when troubles come, they often come
not as single spies, but in battalions.
As if the ever present Irving avenue
slide Were not in itself a sufficient
cause for trouble, the dog ' catcher
has been busy in that locality, and
more than one home is desolated,
while poor Fido and Shep are gone
to that bourne from whence dogs
have never been known to return.
Also appeared a police officer. He
wanted to know why the children he
saw running about were not at
school, and the children, who were
already overcome by the activity of
the dogcatcher, deemed this too
much. Perhaps if 'any -other, trouble
comes the people will move out.
