deposit the loads of rubbish In the
crematory. fc'orty or 60 wagons are
-usually strung out At the appointed
time and the procession continues until
the last load la deposited in the grave
yard of the city's rubbish plies.
Thin morning Antonc Burkhardt. one
of the oldest drivers In the city, was In
tha fore of the procession, and after
, emptying his load he proceeded to wash
out his wMRon with a hose which Is
placed there for such a purpose. Whether
Intentionally or not Is uncertain, but
the strong atrenrn of water missed the
wagon and went splashing and dripping
over several other drivers who were still
waiting. Previously they had taunted
, . Burkhardt with being slow and had
roused hi anger, so they thought it was
tils measure of revenge
In the parlance of the street, "there
was . something doing'' Immediately.
There never has been any love between

. Burkhardt evidently concluded that it
was time to adopt some other tactics,
for he escaped from the screaming,
swearing mob and reaching his own
wagon, whipped out at railroad speed.
Within a few moments he came tearing
- - - baek with n old Colt's revolver, loaded
and "primed for bear."
It was at this moment that Officer
. Caswell came up, disarmed the belllger-
ent man and sent him home. The other
drivers were soon cowed by a display
of the police star and the trouble was
ternporsrl'.y averted, but It may break
out et any time, according to the state
ments of several who are familiar with
the pat record of the combatants. Al

CURIOUS CHANCE
SETS HIM RIGHT
NINE POLICE STARS v
; MAY SOON FALL
Th resignation of Policeman Fred
Mallett has caused much talk among
the members of the police department.
. It Is asserted that a majority of the
. patrolmen do not like their chief, and
that more resignations -may be looked
for. The officers claim that when they
make an arrest they cannot tell whether
or not the prisoner will be In court the
next day, as the chief may have released
him In the meantime.
Another cause of complaint is 'the
. manner of the chief towards his men.
' Almost Invariably they are spoken to
so gruffly that most of the men fear to
go into his august presence.
The iron-clad rules and regulations
regarding the new suits is another
ground for dissatisfaction The mili
tary cape Is regarded by pStrolmen of
experience as a howling farce, an article
utterly useless for police duty. The
patrol wagon drivers have succeeded in
convincing the chief that the cape will
be useless to them, so they will be per
mitted to wear the ordinary rubber coats.
Another cause for discontent is the
recent ruling of the authorities that
the patrolmen cannot "accept money
which they earn while off duty. It has
been ordered that such sums must be
turned Into the relief fund.
- The resignation of Patrolman Mallett
Is the third within two weeks. the4oth
ers to hand in their stars being Austin

i aia onject to turning in money
l earned, while off duty, because I re
garded It as a rank Injustice." said
well-known officer, "but I obeyed the or
der rather than quit my Job, as Chief
Hunt said I could do if I didn't like
It. But things have gone pretty far
and if they get much worse I won't
stand It. I know other patrolmen are
of the same opinion hh myself "
The fact that Chief Hunt did not de
liver an address to the men this morn
ing Js regarded as peculiar. This is the
first time in weeks that the chief has not
lectured the patrol on police matters.
To say that the men were surprised is no
tnore than true. What will happen next
they are conjecturing. It was noticed
that the chief was very nervous this
morning.
Deserted by his wife, wWo was stolen
by a colored msn, and deprived of his
little daughter, J. J. Murchlaon. s well
known rancher living near Summervllle.
Or., came to Portland yesterday to se-k
his recreant spouse snd to get his
child.
Mrs. Murchlson. as stated In the dis
patches last week, is said to have left
her home. In the company of "Nigger"
Tom Johnaon of Portland. She took her
little girl with Jier. The police were
notified to watch for the couple.
Saturday the officers located Johnson
and he was taken to the station. How
ever, he wss not locked up. as there
wss no warrant for his arrest, a tele
gram' from the sheriff at Ia Grande
asking that tha couple be located. Sun
day Patrolman Roberts found Mrs. Mur
chlson in the Red Front lodging house,
2i North First street. There wss no
warrant for her so she was not held.
By a curious coincidence Mr. Murchl
son went to, the Red Front for lodging
last night. 'By a still more curious
freak of fate he was assigned to the
room which hsd been occupied by his
fugitive wife a few nights previous.
This morning he picked up a pin which
he recognised as her property and when
he sought the advice of the police this
morning he learned that she had been
rooming at this place. After being In
terviewed by the officer the woman be
came frightened and changed ber quar
ters.
The officer's gave the husband what In
formation they had and he started out
to find his wife and child. While .he
has no warrant for their arrest fie de1
slres to see his girl end persuade her to
return. Mr. Murchlson told Captain
Gritimacher that he would not take hla
wife back with him. but desired the
child to be taken from, the mother, who
he now aserts. Is unfit to have the car

HARRIMAN STARTS
NEW LAND POLICY
San Francisco. Oct. 13. President
Hsrrlman directs that all lands unpat
ented In Nevada, belonging to the Cen
trai Pacific, be patented. Just why Is not
known, as attorneys say the title Is
good under an act of congress. New
methods, however, are being injected into
the land interests of the company, not
ably the withdrawal of timber holdings
in California. A recent offer from the
timber trust was declined by Harrlman
who is of the opinion that the lands
will greatly Increase In value before
long.
The Jury trying th case consists of
Samuel Connell, Gilbert 8. Mann. H. C.
Colton snd R. B. McClung. Six Jury
men had been selected, but two had
valid excuses. The first witness called
was Patrolman Fred Mallett. -who- re
signed yesterdsy. He and Officer Gruber
had made the arrest, but before Mallett
gave his testimony the Jury was ex
cused until Thursdsy. ss Attorney Idle
man desired to argue the Invalidity of
the ordinance.
Ordlnano Attacked.
The argument of the lawyer was tech-nWi.-
He ctstmed that the ordinance
had not been properly passed by the
city council, inasmuch ss the record did
not show the proceedings. The chsrter
provides that the proceedings must be s
part of the records, snd the lawyer con
tended that the records did not show
the proceedings of the council tn regard
to this ordinance. He also made another
technical objection In claiming that the
ordinance was not properly attested by
O. T. Gsmble. who was then city audi
tor. The records show that hd signed
himself simply "Auditor." and did not
add "for the City of Portland."
By 1 o'clock Mr. Idleman had not com
pleted his argument, and the court ad
Journod until tomorrow, when he will
finish, and Mr. Fltsgerald will be ready
with his counter argument. The Jury
will again .listen to the evidence Thursday-
'
City 'Auditor Devlin was on hand with
the records, he having been subpoenaed
for that purpose.
During th progress of the case the
lawyers for the defense did not show
what line of evidence they will produce
to help clear theMr clients. However,
they Intend to take advantage of every
technical objection.

months they have been prophesying
that the demand would soon cease, but
contrary to their expectations lt has

Some attribute the unusual situation
to a shortage of crops in the Orient,

suit was injured in the collapse of the
Second. . gjrect bridge ..over Maxnuam-

the mayor, the councllmen and other

ground that he was a taxpayer and

inasmuch as the cost of defending it

To this the reply was made that the

of their own negligence in failing to
