Chicago, Jan. 28. A great crowd at tempted to enter the court room this morning at Coachman Tilbury's black mall trial. Bailiffs were compelled td close the doors an hour before the trial opened. Men and women continued to jam the corridors until extra police were called to keep them moving. Yesterday Tilbury declared he had 250 letters concealed in the Thurston stables. Court ' officers and attorneys last night made a thorough search and announced this mornlngi that they had failed to find any. Immediately after the trial convened this rrioming Tilbury asked permission to make a statement to the court.' He was retired in the Judge's chambers and shortly after the Judge returned and announced that at the request of the defendant his at torney, Claire, would no longer be con nected with the case. The court ap pointed Attorney ' Rosenthal ' to repre sent Tilbury and adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to the. great disappointment of the spectators. Threatening letters continue to come to" Mrs. Thurston from anonymous sources demanding that prosecution be dropped else disastrous results will fol low. - Attorney Claire said today that he dropped out of the case because Til bury had no letter! and no case to defend. - ' ONE YEAR IN JAIL iFJLRJIESSENGER BOY Harry Thomas, a messenger boy.

Brown of Wellington, Fred, Charles, Nicholas, Henry, Edward and Ray Du back, and 18 grandchildren. Mr. Puback celebrated his last birth day January 12. Jacob Duback, Sr., was born In Baden, Germany, January 22, 1822, and resided there until 1846, when he emigrated to the United States and settled at Buffalo, N. y., where he resided until the break ing out of the Mexican war. He then enlisted In the army, and in 1847. in the 10th United States Infantry, saw much active service in General Taylor's command. After the war he returned to the East and re-enllsted In the rd artillery, company II. in the regular service, starting from New York for Florida by a boat, which was wrecked After many hardships he succeeded In getting to Florida. He assisted at the capture of the famous "Billy Bowlegs," an Indian who Is well known to the Florida war notoriety. He married Dorothea Sauer, November 1853, at Newport. R. I., and In the latter part of 1X63, or early In 1864, was ordered to California by way of the Horn, but the boat Ban Francisco was shipwrecked Just off the North Carolina coast and for several days was tossed on the ocean and" out of 1,100 people mat startea only boo were saved. Mr. and Mrs. Puback were picked up by a passing steamer and returned to New Tork and from there shipped overland to California and passed the winter of 1864 and 1865.. under the command of General Stephens. After two months in quarters at Benicia he went to Port Orford and took part in the Rogue river war, where he helped to capture Chief John of that tribe. Eighteen months thereafter he was sent to Umpqua and subsequently returned to California, where he received his discharge at Be nicia, October 9. 1868. He then came north to Fort Van couver, which was at that time run prin cipally by the Hudson Bay company. At that time there were very few white people there, Portland having only a few houses. Mr. Duback .bought a farm of 160 acres and a yoke of oxen. He rose to be among the wealthiest and most Influential men of Clarke county. He never used his homestead' right. On December 6, 1878, he bought a farm on the south side of Mill Plain, where he built a fin. house and had one of the finest farms In the country. There he resided until his death. The city authorities have commenced work on their previously announced'plan of replacing all the small electrlo lbjhts i iimiu a streets wiin raoaern aro ugnis, ana have notified the city engi neer tnat about 160 more arcs can be Installed as soon as practicable. The locations are fixed In. the Third, Fifth oixtn ana seventh wards. Since Jan uary about 26 new arcs were' put In senr ice, evenly divided between east Bid ana west side locations. it is the desire of the officials to make Portland one of the best lighted cities In the country and considerable of mis improvement work will bo carried on during the coming summer, or pre vlous to the Lewis and Clark expos! tion in 1905. This is a change that seems to meet with the favor of every one, and in 16 months from now It is tnougnt that the entire municipality will enjoy aro.llghts.

What has also aroused local freight men Is the report that the material for the Marquam gulch bridge, probably 40 carloads, has been routed over the Bur lington also. The total freight business Involved in the two deals will amount to about $60,000, and 15 roads repre sented in the city believe that they should hWve received each a. share of these shipments. One thing that the local freight men would like to discover Is whether the Burlington made a special rate to aid In securing the shipments. At the Burlington office It was stated that Mr. Ooddard was on the sound and would probably not return before Sun day afternoon.

H. M. Adams, assistant general freight agent of the O. R. & N., said: "I cannot give a statement at this time.- Other railroad men who have heard of the feeling expressed by O.

This being the case, ths city officials were acting strangely when they allowed any on to out out U local lines but on or two and al lowed this material to be routed over one system without recognising all of tne otner lines that have claims equal to those of the Burlington." The conflict over the freight btl( has already narrowed down to a struggle between the Hill lines on one side and ths Vanderbilt, Gould, Harriman, and several "big independent lines on the other.
