a warrant 'was issued the same time
as those for DIggs and Gilllgan were

to appear as a witness Thursday.
Tischar to Escape.
It was on Prosecutor Oppenheim's
motion that Fischer was freed. As the
man undoubtedly would give testimony
of much value to the state Thursday,
he said, ha probably would ask the dis
missal of the charge against him at
that time, and It was for this reason
that he thought it unnecessary to hold
h'.m. .
Dlggs glanced up quickly as Oppen
lielrn spoke, and hi.i face lost its smile.
The Judge complied with the prose
cutor's request.
Attorney 15. McKensle, speaking for
Iitg. moved that his client's bail be
reduced from $10,000 to $2000 bonds,
or $1000 cash.
Judge Crist said, he could see no
, reason for the reduction, however, and
refused.

The question of a permanent injunc-

for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor, standing upon his record made
, his platform'upon which he intends to
make a vigorous campaign.
The platform is in the form of a let
ter and is appended:
To the People of Oregon: .
Seeking, as I do, at the hands of the
people ot Oregon, the nomination and
election to the office of governor of
the state, it seems proper that I should j
uvuiart uufiiy anu citsariy my views
and convictions, and also to sketch an
outline of the things which seem- to
me essential to the progress and pros
perity of the people, and which, in the
event of my election, I shall strive to
accomplish.
By stating thus where I stand I
shall feel, if elected, that I am com
missioned to use my efforts and the
influence of my office, within the law, '
to achieve these ends, and the time is
now for the people to rally to the sup
port of these principles, and to my

H. L. Price, which was filed in the
office of the county clerk last. Thurs
day, was dismissed this moriiing on
the request of the elder Price. Jn a
document sworn before D. Soils Cohen,
notary public, tho father asserts that,
'being an old man, he was misled by
meddlers" who had nothing to do with
his business and who induced him
wrongfully to file tfae suit.
The father further states that he
feels it Incumbent upon him to vindi

suit, inasmuch as the son has always
shown "full faith and confidence to

The suit involved an interest in

Commissioners InTited,
An invitation to take part in the
celebration of the 300th anniversary
of the beginning of regular chartered

by the . county commissioners this
morning, ibut will not be accepted. The
: Several letter carriers climbed
on tables shortly after 7:30 this
morning in the basement of the
nostoffice. when "Jack," th
postoffice pet, came into the
room. "Jack" is a Phillipine
boa, a short fraction of an inch
less than 7 feet long.
"Jack" crawled out of his box
in the engine room, where he is
held in captivity, and mean-
dered down a long corridor.
James Mullen, a new porter,
was engaged in sacking waste
paper in one of the basement
rooms, when he saw "Jack"
enter the room.
A He tore out' of the room, but
hesitated long enough to ex
plain to a Janitor he met in the
corridor: "I just saw a snake
down there as big around as
my. leg and a mile and a half
long." Mullen was gone an
hour.
In the meantime "Jack" conr
tinued his sight-seeing . tip.
"When he entered the robm
where the carriers were pre-'
paring to go to work! there was
a scramble for places of safety
where they remained; nntA'a
couple of Janitors, who were ac-
quainted with "Jack," shoved
him into a mail sack.
"Jack" is the property of
Nellie Wrenn, who was recent-
ly detained in a white slavery
case. For over two months
the government has been buy-
ing rabbits and eggs to feed
"Jack." , ; '
