Joseph Knox ot Hood River is in the

Hood country to Cloud Cap Inn. By
this road several bad hills will be avoid
ed and it will make a difference of sev
eral miles in distance, making it easier
to reach the Inn from Hood River. As
much encouragement is offered, there is
no doubt that the road will be completed
before the summer's traffic begi
One of A. M. Williams' windows is
dressed in a very appropriate Christmas
attire. The shepherds are represented
herding their flocks on the mountains,
and above is the angel informing them
of the birth of the Savior. The back
ground is draped with a beautiful dis
play of handkerchiefs, while the angel,
the shepherds, and in fact everything in
the window, except the sheep, are neat
ly attired in the same articles. Mr.
Jensen, the artist who arranged the
window, is very original in his ideas,
and he uses them to a good advantage.

GERMAN EMBASSY'S INQUIRY.
For the Antecedent of
Rohan
Pan! Ifranz de
The imperial ; German embassy at
Washington addressed a letter to Gover
nor Lord, making inquiry aB to the "rec
ord and antecedents of the person styling
himself Paul .Franz de Rohun, who is
believed by the German authorities to be
identical with the swindler "who ap
peared about two years ago at Tacoma
and Portland, where he styled himself a
bishop, and subsequently served a term
in jail at Astoria.
It is so long ago since the hogus bish
op operated here that the police
have altogether lost sight of him, and
they are at the present moment, in
no position to furnish any information
concerning this man. beyond that which
is of notorious public record. That he
at some time must have studied for the
Catholic clergy is an indisputable fact,
else he could not have eo successfully
imposed on Archbishop Gross and lesser
officials of the Catholic church. .
He was a man of superior education,
striking personality and a plausibility of
anner which conspired to infuse con-
dence in his victims. But the tnost
ysteriona phase in connection with
is career, when his learning and natu
ral attributes are considered, is that his
rascalities were of the petty larceny or
der, whereas he bad all the requisites to
render him successful as a confidence
operator of the highest order.
It is intimated that this bogus priest
belongs to a noble German family, and
hat at one time be was an officer in the
German army. But what prompted nim
o leave the Fatherland and come to this
country in the guise ot a priest cannot
be ascertained. . "
. However, the fact that the German
embassy is manifesting eo much interest
in the eo-called Paul Fracz de Rohan,
as to institute inquiries respecting him,
indicates that he is a person of more im
portance than he appeared to be here,
or possibly that Kaiser Wilhelm's an
thorities may have more, use .for him
than had the Americans. -

In . the trial of Allen Logan in Dallas
lait week, on the charge of murdering
Enoch Sylvester, the head of the dead
man was produced in court. The prose
cution secured identification of the grew
some piece of evidence, and showed the
jury fractures in the back part of the
skull sufficient to cause death. The de
fense, however, produced as witnesses
three of the physicians who had been
present at the post-mortem, and estab
lished that the cartful examination these
physicians bad made was with special
referenca to establish the fact of whether
or not the blow delivered by Logan had
fractured the tkull, and each swore pos
itively that tk the post-mortem no such
fractures were to be found. The bead
turned out to be a booineranz for the
prosecution, and It probably contributed
to the verdict in Logan's favor.
