Sheriff Storey was given a tip that the
city police were Investigating, on cer
tain lines, to try and clear up the Sell
wood car robbery mystery. He heard
that the police had asked Mcintosh
some questions, and at once jumped at
the bungling conclusion that Mcintosh
and his friends were guilty. He could
only find two men who were acquainted
with Mcintosh to arrest, so he went and
picked up two' more on general prin
ciples . to make up the Ave who were
'supposed to have performed ' the rob
bery. . -

.On Straight Alibi.
Because, while they strove one With
another inside their own variety, their
chattering was heard on the outside and
the flutter of their wings cast aside the
veil of mystery and permitted the un
known to become the property of the
world at large, the Grand Aerie Fra
ternal Order Of Eagles has decided to
put a clean paper in the Portland cage.
Believing decisive measures to be best
suited to obtaining the desired result.
District Deputy President Flynn, head
of the order in this state, has issued or
ders to the local representative of the
grand lodge, Thomas McNamee, to with
draw the charter of the Portland branch
of the order. ,
This assertion, made In Baker City, is
denied by E. D. Johnson, president of
the Portland lodge.
This new feature seriously com
plicates the situation, which was al
ready far from being free in this re
spect. A short time ago several mem
bers of the Portland Aerie were expelled
by Mr. Flynn for what was alleged to be
the "good of the order." Politics,' per
sonal grudge, spltework and many ether
reasons were assigned, but those who
remained within the fold after the purg
ing, felt, reasonably safe and tolerably
well satisfied if stories from the lodge
room are to be believed.
The order from the s Grand Aerie,
which became known today, practically
expels the entire membership of the
Portland lodge, both rank and file, leav
ing those who were instrumental in
forcing the removal of those recently
ejected in the same plight as their In
tended victims.

CAMBRIDGE, Aug. 6. A sensation of
more or less Interest throughout the
East, and, in fact, all over the coun
try, has been sprung here by the ac
t'itn of Louise Barnes, aged 78 years,
who has applied for a divorce from her
husband. Dr. C. N. Barnes, IS years of
age. now living in Los Angeles, CaL
.. In 1600. the. unusual, marriage cf the
aged woman to Dr. Barnes occurred, and
many were the comments on the occa
slon. It was said that before three
years, or until the doctor had gotten
much of the wealthy woman's money,
would the marriage last.
Now comes the climax, when the bride
of three years sues for absolute divorce
and namea the co-respondents one
chorus girl in a Los Angeles theatre and
the other a 12-year-old girl.
Dr. Barnes, although living in the Call
fornla city. Is riot to "be found today,
Is said he has only $5,000 of his wife's
money, and this she asks for In her suit

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 6. A
sad scene wss enacted in the Po
lice Court here today and many
were the expressions of sympathy
that were given from persons in
the crowded courtroom.
It was an early hour of court
when Madame Barrios, the widow
of the President of - Guatemala
was brought before the court
charged with drunkenness. She
-pleaded -"not guilty.- and the -Justice
let her go.
When asked If she were drunk
she answered in a maudlin voice:
"No, Tour Honor; but I have been
111." x
The late President's (flow is
an American, born at New Or
leans and was noted for her beauty.
She has lived for some time
quietly in San Francisco. Since
President Barrios' death four juve
nile claimants have cropped up,
saying they are children of the
late President. This ' fact haa
caused the senora much annoy
ance and grief, and it is believed
has led her to commit wayward
deeds.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6. A feeling of

today. In some quarters the complex
ion of the situation assumes that of

Not since the calamitous days of 1893
has such an undercurrent of dlssatla-"
faction stirred the usually calm, waters '
of stock speculations In this metropolis.
The exchange opened In excitement .
this morning because of the extremely
weak condition of the market manifest
everywhere. Gilt-edge securities ' de
clined on the Jump, and sunk from 1 to

Low records were reached In ft re
markably short period, and before noon
the failure of Sharp & Byron, well-
known commission dealers, was, an
nounced. This Arm was organised in
1891, and was rated at between $250,000
to $300,000. It was considered a staunch '
house.
