It was one of the boldest crimes ever perpetrated In the city of Portland, and was all the more effective from Its very boldness.

Notwithstand ing his disguise, however, he did not escape recognition, Krlck Huseby being" positive he Knows who the man la And can identify him If he is caught. Huseby says that about half past 11 a stranger came Into the saloon and had two or three glasses of Jeer, hang ing about for some little time. "I did not like the man's looks then." says Huseby.
