Porter's livery sublo List Saturday sav
ins tiu wanted to go to W:lco. Ho
started but only ROtas far as Biggs where
lie arranged to lease twelve head of
horses to a rancher, ami hired thu man
to ride the saddle-horse to The D.illes,
claiming that his wife had telegraphed
him that she was very sick, so he was
naxioua to return and wodld come by
train.
Before leaving, liowover, lie told the
rancher he had left a bugcy team with
Geo. Miller and for him to cet it and re
turn to Bitus where he, Bojgs, wctt'd
again meet him. Tlie rancher arrived
in this city last evening and imtnediau
ly started out to find Mr. Miller, who
had no knowledge of the transaction of
the affair whatever. The authorities
lenrned of the man being in town so
hunted him up and secured the horse
for Mr. Porter, who had become some
what alarmed over the absence of his
property. The sequel of the affair is
that Boggs has no wife or team hero and
had no intention of returning by train.
He Is surely a peculiar man, for had
lie desired he could have disposed of the
horse and outtlt, pocketed the money
and gone Kist on the railroad.
We learn from the sheriff that only
last year Boggs was released from the
penitentiary where he had been serving
a two-year sentence for stealing n team
from Levi Clarke, at liufus, and coming
to The Dalles and disposing of it. The
man surely is slightly unbalanced or he
would never have visited the same
vicinity and commit a similar crime.
He has not been located as yet, but
tie authorities are keeping a sharp look
out for the fellow and it is thought he
will be secured before long.

a resolution which, after reciting fomo

to Pretoria, in his statement issued last

THE DALLES, OREGON.
Chicago, Feb. 15. "War with
England should be the policy of Una
government," said Governor Andrew I).
Lee, of South Dakota. "If the facts set
forth in Consul Macrum's open letter,
issued to the American people are found
to be correct.
"This action of the Britieh authorities
at Durban in tampering with mail
matter addressed to Mr. Macrum is
damnable," the governor continued,
"and an outrage against the rights of
neutral powers. If the facts as stated in
that letter are true, the American gov
ernment instantly should call Great
Britain to severe account. That may
mean another war on our hands,
know, but war is preferable to national
dishonor. The spectacle of an American
citizen, bo he in pnyato or public life,
having to sit idly bv and seo his mail
opened by an official of a foreign power
is too humiliating for my blood toatand."
Almost equally as rad!cal comments
were made by several of tho leaders In
the anti-trust conference, who were
ehown the dispatches from Washington
setting forth tho experiences of the ex
consul, ah were emphatic in saying
that the rights of citizetiH of neutral
powers should be protected and that
England should be condemned strongly
for her high-handed methods.
Statement Sut Crecliuil.
Washington, lab. lo. While the
state department officials wore averse to
nay to discussing tho published statj
ment of ex-Consul MacCrum, it was
autorilively stated that a search of tho
records failed to show that MacCrum
had ever reported to tho department
that his official mail was being regularly
tampered with by the British author!
ties. It was said that ho did in n general
way report that both tho official and
private mall intended for American
citizens did not reach him punctually
and asked that a protest be mado on ac
count of this rather arbitrary proceeding
on the part of tho postal authorities.
Tho department Investigated tho mat
ter and learned that no unnecessary de
lay existed and does not credit tho stato
ment that any correspondence, official
or otherwise, was opened, inspected and
delayed by tho British authorities.
