Assailant of Woman Hurled
Across Room Last Nfght
and Injured So That He
Died In the Hospital This
. Jlorning. ' ' '
W. H. Nouy sustained Injuries la the
McAllister .lodging-house, . Third and
Flanders ..streets. , tbl morning which
resulted In his death at the Good Ba
mariUn, hospital tbla morning at I
o'clock. Mary Kelser. the. womarfwlth
whom be wa occupying a room for the
night, and who has a police record, and
Fred Williams of St. Johns, are Impli
cated In Nosuy's death.
The tragedy occurred this morning
about J:15 o'clock. To the police the
woman gave two versions or the affair.
One . is that she and Nosuy were occu
pying a room alon and that be.at
tacked her, and her cries for help
brought In Fred Williams. Tne wner is
that all three were in the room together
ana tnat me no mm -VI
regarding her. The woman's condition
today verged on delirium tremens, and
the police -are waiting for her to get
in .. a, normal state before making. a
rig4 examination.' .
The police are Inclined to believe the
first story that Williams cafie in an
swer to her cries for help., f Williams
is a bridge carpenter and is working on
the Northern Pacific brldge which Js
now being built across the Willamette
at 8t Johns. He says he came over
from Bt. -Johns last night and' missed
the last car home. He took-a room
at the Grand hotel and was lust going
to retire, he says, when he heard Mary
Kelser's loud-erles for help. The Grand
adjoins the McAllister and when Wil
liams reached the street he ran into
the latter1 hotel clerk, who was yelling
Williams'" says he Immediately ran to
the room occupied by Mary Kaiser and
Nosuy. and - found them - engaged In a
rough and tumble fight.
Williams grabbed Nosuy, and threw
him across the room. That, he says. Is
the extent of his at tick. - After dis
posing ..of Noiuy in this manner he
walked out of the Jiotel and dowa the
street, where he was arrested by Of f 1
cer Tennant and Hunter on a charge
of assault and battery.
After arresting Williams the two of
ficers turned their attention to Nosuy
who was lying insensible on the floor.
The wagon was called and Nosuy, Mary
irior n . ....... ....... , , . ,
police headquartera. Nosuy's condition
was prenounoed i extremely serlnus. by
City Physician Zlegler, ..and he was
taken to the. hospital where he later
died. Death is supposed .to have been
caused by a fracture of . the -skull.
Both Nosuy snd .Mary Kelser, accord
ing to Witnesses, were very 'much In
toxicated, at the time of the fight
Nosuy is said. to be a. frequenter of the
North Bide saloons. It is not. known
whether he leaves a family.: ..' ' ; ' -.
Williams is thought to be a victim of
circumstances. He is a well built young
man of prepossessing ; appearance and
was not intoxicated at the 'time of his
arrest. He tells a straightforward story
and the police put much credence In It,
Nosuy's body war removed to -the
undertaking establiabment of Fhley,&
Bona this morning. Coroner Flnley will
hold -M Inquest... Vntgfct;.-Wi tomorrow.
Nothing of eh? value was found on the
dead man. - His pockets inventoried six
beer checks. a 8-oent piece, and a mptlay
collection of cards. ' K' , '-:
Both Williams and the woman are
confined In the city jail pending the ac
tion of the authorities.

Result of Free Rides
for Officials.
George B. Moffatt, W. A. White and
A. C. Bedford, directors in the Oregon
Electric Railway company, who have
completed a trip of inspection over
the existing and propoaed lines in the
Willamette valley, are favorably im
pressed with most of the conditions
met. and regard Oregon as a desirable
place for Investment of capital unless
unfavorable legislation should render it
too difficult a matter to earn a profit
on such Investments. '
"For example, when one builds
railroad to Salem, to carry people who
have official business there, and tho
state declares that we must carry all
officials free, there would be little in
ducement left to operate such a rail
road," said Mr. Moffatt "Under con
ditions like that, Salem would be the
laat place to which a railroad would
ba buUt, if It were to be built and op
erated for the purpose of earning a
profit" - . -v
Mr. Moffatt said the company or syn

electric lines to serve varloua parts of

MUNICIPAL FARM FOR
CITY HAY AND HORSES
Driscoll Proposes Purchase
of Tract as Money-Sa?-"
ing Proposition.
; That Portland may soon own a farm
where eity horses may be put out to
pasture,,: where -the city can raise its
own ' supply of hay' and where horses
can be bred for city service, was advo
cated In the city council yesterday after
noon by councilman Driscoll in tne
course of the debate upon Mayor Lane's
vets to the ordinance authorising the
sale of an old horse. Drlscoll's - re
marks were listened to with favor by
the mayor and the councilmen, and
something of the kind may be done In
the near future. .
For some time Superintendent Donald
son of the street cleaning department
has endeavored to have the- city pur
chase a tract near the city where
horses can be handled properly and
where the city can raise its own supply
of hay, his Idea being tq turn out all
of the city horses to pasture for a eer
tain period each year. From an . eco
nomic standpoint Donaldaon says the
city would soon be saving money on
such a venture.
In the council yesterday Driscoll said
that the city-now owns enough horses
to warrant purchasing a place- where
they can be pastured. He spoke for
several minutes on the project, and his
remarks were listened to by the other
members, and from time to time Mayor
bine noaueu aiu ana in agreement to
the plan. r -;! -
Driscoll favors buying a tract where
all wornout horses can be properly cared
tor until tney nave recovered suin
ciently to be put back to work. Don
aldson believes that If the place is
bought a certain section can be planted
with hay. He favors building a ware
house in tne city wnere the hay can be
stored, easily of 'access to the various
city departments, thus saving a large
amount of money epent each, year for
food for the horses.
. While ho definite action was taken tn
the matter yesterday, it Ir believed that
the project now started will be taken
up In earnest by the councilmen and
carried to completion beforethe year is
out .- -- - c ,.:

Clark and Percy Harlow with having
robbed his boathouae. Both young men. "
who are each 18 years of age, deny thoir "
guilt. The Plnkertons believe they have
enough evidence for a conviction.

the detectives, and Criger advertised In

Crlger then told Henry Fosberg about ;

Anderson. Anderson, say the detectives.
understood he could buy -the property
