DRUNKEN FRENCHMAN AT
LARGE WITH A DOUBLE AX.
Standing In the Deep Snow Standing
' Ort SrutkeM With the Ax Diploma
cy and Management Necessary to
Caprnrn Him, and He Was Brought
to Town Handcuffed Prisoner la
Large nnd Strong and Suffered Be
renty from Cold, Botng Out In
h Weather a NVxht and Day.
Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakeley came
down from Meacham early this morn
ing with a crazy man, who was taken
Into custody only after some very ar
duous work on the part of the officer
and other men at the mountainous
town. To capture the man was one
of the most difficult Jobs the officer
hns ever had and he is In hopes that
he will not have to repeat his experi
ence soon.
The Insane man Is a big burly
Frenchman named Joe, nnd was em
ployed In a lumber camp near Mea
cham. He arrived there but a few
days before from La Grande and his
trouble was brought on by drinking.
Day before yesterday he left the
camp, taking with his a double-bitted
ax and commenced roaming about the
woods near the camp, refusing to al
low anyone to approach him.
At the request of the people at
Meacham Deputy Blakeley went to
Meacham early yesterday morning to
take the man. When found, the fel
low was standing In the snow beside
a tree some distance from the camp.
He was suffering from delirium tre
mens and kept swinging his ax about
In a vain effort to keep off the snakes.
At the head of a party the deputy
sheriff got within a short distance of
him and In a very diplomatic man
ner Deputy Blakeley told him he had
come to protect him and showing his
badge ordered him to drop hi ax.
"I know I am In for It and may as
well take my medicine right here,"
replied the fellow, evidently believing
that his life was sought, and he pre
pared his ax to fight Tils pursuers. .
For some time the officer and oth
ers argued In vain that they meant
him no harm and tried to coax the
man to drop his weapon and go with
them. Finally they were forced to
give up the attempt temporarily.
Later In the afternoon they went out
again and finally the mad man was
persuaded to follow Deputy Blakeley
and another man back towards town.
While walking behind there seme dis
tance he suddenly threw his ax away
and thereafter no trouble was had
with him. After he had been gotten
Into town he was handcuffed and then
brought to the City on the delayed
No. S.
The prisoner Is a giant In size,
weighing about 200 pounds, and Is a
six-footer In height He ts sandy

been learned.
While wanderlnjr around derhented
he was out In the snow all one night
and most of a day. As a result of his
exposure one of his feet became badly
swollen, though It was not frost-bitten.
He is now safe Inside the county Jail
and this afternoon Is In a better con
dition. He will doubtless be all right
as soon as he has gotten over the ef
fects of his terrible experience.
"That Is the second 'ax man' I have
had to get during my time here, and
I hope there will be no more of
them," sighed Deputy Blakeley this
afternoon, when he had finished tell
ing of the incident this afternoon. .

sun melted the snow rapidly In this
Vicinity and torrents oon began run
ning down Nichols canyon and the
Weston road. It became the worst
in tewn about 1 or 2 o'clock and wai
aill over by evening. During the time
the water was the highest the streets
were flooded, the water being from a
foot to two feet deep in the gutter.
Tumble weeds and other trash were
natshed down on th street from th
canyons. The lawns In many place
were damaged by being covered with
water and many cellars were flooded.
Hewever, the damage altogether was
rwt great though, the situation looked
bad for a time.
"The railroad track was damaged
on both sides of the town through
the embankment and culvert being
waifeed out. The -southbound mixed
train passed through here yesterday
afternoon, but was stalled in Dry
Creek canyon. The train wa then
left there and the .trainmen return
ed to Milton to report the situation.
"Apparently the wagon roads and
bridge have been damaged but lit
tle and but little If any damage was
infllctoa to farming property."
Who Flood at Helix.
Tho following account of the flood
at Helix was received by 'phone this
morning from Captain 8. T. Isaacs
pottuiaster and mayor of that town:
"As a result of the thaw all the
gullies In this vicinity began to run
with water late In the forenoon yes
terday and the flood was the worst
about 1 o'clock. The streets were
flooded to some extent, and some
basements filled. But the most seri
ous damage was to wells that became
filled with surface water. However,
In Helix this will cause no trouble,
as the city water works furnishes an
Kinj.le supply for the town and the
plant was not damaged.
"The railroad has been damaged
through the embankment and cul
verts being washed out. Near Van
sycle, two or three culverts were
washed out and It is understood that
some culverts are out between War
ren and Pendleton. The track is al
right between Helix and Myrlck. At
Killlan Junction, where there is a
Y and the branch line leaves the W.
A C. R. main line to run to Athena,
the bridge was waehed out and also
two culverts. The bridge was atout
35 feet long.
"The wagon roads have also been
damaged some and small bridges
have teen washed out. The mall
carrier between Helix and Juniper
reported that he had to swim his
home across the streams along his
route. The bridge across Greasewood
at this place stood firm though It was
covered with water during the flood.
Wheat Not Damaged.
"Farmer with whom I have talk
ed this morning say that the grain
was not damaged to any extent by
the freshet In most places the
ground was so frozen that the earth
was hard and did not wash much.
Consequently little Injury wa done
to the ?an Held."
Main Line Trains belayed.
Traffic on the main lln? of the O.

ing, was annulled and a "stub" train
from Umatilla was run east, arriving

evening, but have been temporarily
repaired and traffic between here
and Umatilla has been resumed.

IDAHO'S GOVERNOR
F
ONI SI
GOODING BELIEVES IN
RIGID REGULATION.
Governor of the Gem State Urges the
Creation of Railroad commission
' Says the Publlo Mind I Coining
. to Demand Strict Government Con
trol, If Not Gojrewuueajt Owner
ship. In Idaho, as tn Oregon, the ques
tion of a railroad commission Is one
of the burning Issues before the state
legislature and Governor Gooding, of
the Gem state, In a long article In the
Boise Statesman, comes out In favor
of a commission for his state.
That portion of his article which
most clearly sets forth his Ideas on
the railroad situation Is as rollowt:
My belief Is that In the'tempor of
the public mind that has been brought
about by thought and agitation dur
ing the past few years, there Is a deep
set feeling that in the future all rail
roads, express and other common car
rier corporations, whose service Is
purely public must and should either
be government controllen, or govern
ment owned. There seems to be no
other ground from which to view the
public corporation.
That these corporations chartered
to serve the people are to be rigidly
controlled is clearly within the Inten
tion of the public which has permit
ted their existence and development.
I do not understand that any consid
erable number of men, except the
most subservient of corporation syc
ohpants, are even denying the ab
solute right of the people through
their government controlling such
public service corporations as rail
roads. So It may be taken for granted
that the righteousness or such con
trol Is admitted. Whether such con
trol shall be exercised over them un
der private or public ownership Is
still a moot question. There would
be the least disturbance of conditions
if such control was exercised under
the present form of ownership. It Is
with this Idea that the proposal to
create a state railroad commission has
been advanced. It Is this idea that I
desire to see discussed.
The Interstate commerce commis
sion under the amended law has,
during the past few months, made
plain to the world that federal con
trol of interstate business In trans
portation has passed from a theoreti
cal condition to one of actualltv anil
I that the transportation companies In
the future will have to satisfy this
commlssign in regard to both rates
and service.
The work of the enlarged commis
sion so far, has been brought pri
marily on complaint of state commis
sions, and the Interstate body has
made It very plain that it looked
upon the Btate body as the most im
portant factor In enabling the federal
body acting with both promptness and
intelligence.

COAL FROM JAPAN.
Long "Haul" of Fnel to Relieve Pnget
Sound Shortage.
Within the next 30 days several
cargoes of coal will be received on
Puget sound to relieve the fuel short
age now existing at Tacoma and Se
attle, say a Tacoma dispatch.
According to advices the steamship
Lyra, of the Boston Towboat compa
ny's fleet, sailed from MoJI Monday
with 100 ton of coal in addition to
other freight. The British steamship
Quito, under charter to Frank Water-
house A Co., agent of the Boston
vesselr, is to bring 600 tons.
It Is understood that the steamship
Pleiades, which sailed from Japan
January 14, and Is due here Febru
ary 1, has 1000 tons of coal. All of
tlie coal brought by the Lyra and the
Pleiades; If she has any, will be un
loaded at this port The 6000 ton
on the Quito will be divided between
Tacoma and Seattle.
Never before In the history of this
port has coal had to be Imported
from the orient to meet the local de
mand. Until the present fuel famine
Tacoma and Seattle, were looked up
on a shippers Instead of importer
of coal.
