valuation of personal property In the
city Is 128,326, 644 net against approx

of assessing the property In Multno
mah county Saturday but no footings
were made of any except the personal
projierty.
Estimating that the total valuation

assessor, the valuation of realty will
amount to approximately i 121, 00(1,-

assessed valuations of properly will
be treble what It was last year, a fact

sess all property at Its actual value,

solidated Hallway company's proper
ty, of which the rolling slock was as
sessed for t48,795 last year, has a

less the rate will vary accordingly.

ANOTRER OFFICIAL
Is there a shortage In the accounts
of the county clerk's office? That
here is. is persistently rumored and
from what Information that could be
secured today from the officials there
Is apparently some ground for the ru
mor. However, tho amount Is not
thought to be large and It Is said that
Ihe shortage Is of such a nature as to
ndlcate clearly that there was no
crlmlnol action Intended on the part
of anyone.
When asked regarding the matter
his afternoon, Expert Reckwith stat
ed that the errors found consisted of
failures to charge for the filing of pa
pars which under the law must be paid
lor by those filing them. Also he
slated that the work of Investigation
was not yet complete and that the
shortage might yet be wiped out be
fore they were through,

SRORTAGE ALLEGED
It la not known under what term
the alleged shortage occurred. The
work of the experts began with the
term of Ben Burroughs In 1898. Fol
lowing him W. D. Chamberlain serv
ed two terms while the present In
cumbent, Frnnk So ling, has been In
office one year. From appearances.
It would seem that possibly some
thing wrong may be found with all
three administrations.
One member of the court house
force said today that It was rather
hard for a clerk to know Just what
documents should be charged for
when filed. Consequently he could
very easily fall to charge for the filing
of something without having any
wrong Intent. However, this Ignorance
would not save an official from having
to make good any amount to be "due
the county through his mistake.

SWEDE KILLED

W ALLA TRAIN YESTERDAY.

Possible Rlumc Cnn Attach to the
Train Crew, In the Judgment of tlie
Coroner and tlie People Victim
Was a laborer. -13 Years of Age, a
Stronger n TIUs Vicinity, and Came
From Sweden to America 25 Years
Ago.
Oscar Svordstrom, a Swede laborer,
was struck by the morning train from
Walla Walla yesterday Just north of
Milton, and died at 1 o'clock from his
injuries.
According to the testimony given
oy ine trainmen and by Svordstrom
himself, who was conscious until 11
o'clock, he was sitting half asleep on
me sine or the track, when the train
came along. It was at a curve and
the man was evidently not seen until
the train was near him and It was too
late lo stop. Svordstrom was in the
act of rising when the pilot struck
him and hurled him a distance of 20
feet.
The train was at once stopped and
the Injured man was placed aboard
and taken to Milton, where he was
given medical care. However, he was
so badly hurt that there was no hope
for him. His right hip was dislocat
ed, four ribs were fractured near the
spinal column, and his lower jaw was
broken.
However, in spite of his Injuries.
Svordstrom could talk, and he gave
his age as 45 years, and said he had
been In this country for 25 years,
having come hero from Sweden. He
said his parents were dead and ho
had no relatives he cared to have no
tified of his death. From his cloth
ing and articles found on his person
It is thought that the man was a lum
ber camp laborer. A watch and 12.25
in money was all of any value found
on his persoa.
No blame was nttached by Svord
strom to the trainmen for his Injury,
and it was not considered necessary

(lead man was burled by the county at

NEW BUNCO GAME.
Worked Repeatedly, and Y'et Om Po
lice Are Doing Nothing.
Reports have become current to
day of a bunco game which was work
ed extensively here Inst evening, and
with such success as to indicate that
the operators had some training along
lines of frenzied finance.
The method of operating was for
the gang to meet with an unsuspecting
victim and Inquire If he knew whether
or not the Portland train was In. To
this the guileless party would always
say that It was. Then some member
of the gang would offer to bet a dol
lar that It was not, and the unsuspect
ing one would Immediately produce
I that amount, thinking he had a sure
bet. Here the fine work would come
in. for no sooner would his money be
given the stakeholder until that of
ficial would lead the crowd to a cigar
sland. peanut joint or other establish
ment open on the Sabbath, and the
money would he spent.
On one occasion It Is said that two
members of the gang imagined they
were both stakeholders of the same
dollar, with the result that one of
them was out a dollar of his own.
Thereafter that member was knows
as "E. Z." Mark, but he declared thai
the next time the other fellow woula
not Winn. The identity of the mem
ber of the crowd Is not revealed, oat
of consideration for the relatives.
However, aside from the two already
mentioned there was one who holds
a high reputation as a "600" player;
another is from Minnesota and Arl
ington, and has been In court a num
ber of times already; while the fifth
member of the crowd is a Whltmaa
graduate and won fame on I'endletoa
