GIRLS LOSE. THEIR
CLOTHES FIRE
John Manning, dlatrlct attorney, la
beginning to patch up his campaign
fences In ths face of ths coming eleo
tlon, and one means being employed by
him is a sudden effort to enforce ths
payment to the county of ball money
end bonds, given In some lnstsnces twu
years a-o ana allowed to lapse ana n
without effort towards collection until
the present time.
For months past repeated attention
haa been called to ths fact that the dla
trlct attorney's office had been lax in
Its collection of bond and hail money,
but although ths local papera have dla'
cussed the matter no action was taken
until on the eve of the primary election.
In February suits were filed by the
district attorney to enforce the puymenc
of bonds due and thus secure to tho
county a Urge aum of money which It
should have nad long ago. In some of
tha caaaa tha honilamun. through the
lapse of time have become financially
Irreaponalble so that there Is great
doubt Of being able to collect the money
which tould have been secured bad the
suits beeit'SVought when the bonds were
forrelted and tne money pecame cue.
Slept Orer Two Tears.
Auruat i. 1905. Jessie Burna was ar
rested for having robbed a man. She
waa found guilty of the charge and
failed to put In an appearance for sen
tence. September I. lio. a motion was
made ordering the bond forfeited. The
bond or 7oO nsd Deen given ny u. m.
Hulll'van and "Mysterious Hilly Smith.
Nothing was ever heard of the woman
and February 21 of this year a suit was
filed by the dlatrlct attorney against the
bondsmen, seeking to recover the
amount due the county.
It Is exceedingly doubtful whether the
amount of the bond will be collected.
The case was allowed to slumber for
nearly two years and a half, and ault
waa finally begun only after repeated
crltlclams by ths press. One of the
bondsmen, Larry Sullivan, was finan
cially responsible at the time the ball
was forfeited, but has now left the state
and so far as known has no property.
A bond of 11.000 waa given by A. B.
Burger and Mr. Kutner to secure the
apieWanee of the notorious Grace Reod,
aocuaed and found guilty of having
stolen IbOO from a man. The woman
wss convicted In the circuit court 10
months sso and suit to collect the for
feited bond waa not filed until Febru
ary II of this year. In thts case near
ly a year nad gone Dy wimoui action
by Mr. Manning.
Still other cases remain in which no
effort has been made to collect the
money 'due the county through the con
viction of criminals and their failure
to either pay the fines Imposed or to
serve sentence. A history of some of
these cases Is as follows:
Xaf Ust of Bsgleeted Oases.
February 1. 1107. Lloyd Burtls was
srrested and put on trial for contribut
ing to ths delinquency of a minor. On
the trial of the case the Jury dis
agreed And the defendant ttien changed
his plea from "not guilty" to "guilty."
May 10 waa nxed as tne aaie ior
passing sentence bv the court, and on
that day the defendant failed to put
In an appearance. He was sentenced
to one year's imprisonment in the
county Jail and to a fine of 1100. His
bond had been fixed at 1200 and bad
been guaranteed by A. II. Townsend and
w. in. uanieis.
When Hurtla failed to nut In sn ap
pearance the bond was ordered for
feited, but no action was taken towards
Its collection by the dlatrlct attorney
for an extended length of time, though
Burtis was finally found and sent to
Jail. He served a portion of the time
and was then pardoned.
September 6, 1907, Jack Earl was ar
rested for having given liquor to a
girl under age. lie was found guilty
on two separate charges and under each
charge was sentenced to six months in
the county Jail and to pay a fine of )2S0.
Cases Shored Aside.
Bonds were furnished by R. L. Dur
ham and A. M. Brown. Earl went to
California and was there for over two
months when hs was returned and sent
to ths rock pile. He escaped from there
and has not been recaptured. No at
tempt was made to enforce payment un
der the bond.
William Grimes, a merchant of Mon
tavilla, was arrested about November
SR ilus. for havins- sold llauor In a
dry precinct and was fined $150. Bonds
were furnished for the defendant by
Henry Fleckensteln and Pete Wagner in
the sum of $t00. Following the convic
tion nt nrimus S50 of the fine was paid.
but the remaining $100 at 111 remains
unpaid. No attempt has been made to
collect this balance.
October 26, 1905, E. F. Glblln, a bus
iness man of Portland, was arrested for
having sold tobacco to boys. He was
convicted and the penalties imposed
amounted in total to $114. 25. Bond for

Vancouver, Wash., March 21 Angered
because Dick Clemenson refused to
take a drink with him, James Connelly
last night fired three revolver shots
at the latter, all of which went wild.
Connelly was intoxicated at the time
and It was due to this fact that Clem
enson owes his life, as the two men
were but a few feet apart when the
shooting took place.
The affair happened at 8 o'olock In
front of the Ferry saloon and within
less than 800 feet of the Vancouver
ferrv. There were, a number of neoole
going to the ferry when the shots rang
out and several thought a murder had
been committed.
Connelly, who had never seen Clem
enson before, asked the latter to have
a drink. Clemenson refused and started
to walk on. "Come on, said Connelly,
"or I'll blow your damned head off.'
, With thla he whlDned out a revolver
and began firing. Officer MoFarland
happened to be near and soon disarmed
Connelly.

The Oregon Furniture factory, for ess ,

If the factory used the Front street
line of the United Railways company, it
would pay an additional IS charge ta
that company, and the switching charge
of the Northern Paclflo Terminal com.
pany, making a larger expense than by
tho present method.
