A Narrow Escape.
While a crowd of boys were
swimming in the . Willamette
liver- uear the boom, Tuesday
after noon, a young lad, Nash
Taylor, had a narrow escape from
drowning. When about in the
center of the river his strength
gave out and he called for help.
Kratz Cronise had just" crossed
the river and had scarcely reached
shore, but as no one else respond
ed to the cry for assistance, Kratz
turned back and caught the half
drowned boy as he came up the
second time. It was some dis
tance to the log boom but Cronise
and his heavy burden finally
lauded, both in a state of exhaus
tion, and were brought ashore in
a boat. Young Crownise certain
ly deserves the highest praise for
his bravery, and the incident
should be a warning to other boys
to not .venture beyond the safety
iine.

"HOT GUILTY."
So Says Maud Hu't-Cref field to
Charge of Murder.
Esther Mitchell and Mrs Maud
Hurt CrefEeld were arraigned in
the superior comt Tuesday morn
ing before Judge Frater on in format-on
chaiging them jointly with
murder in the first degree for kill
lirg George M tchell. Mrs. CTet
field pleaded not guilty. She
was represented by S. M. Shipley
of the firm of Morris & SbipJey,
who freed her husband's slayer.
Esther Mitchell was represented
by Baxter & WUsori, a firm of
young attorneys. She was given
a week in w'hich to plead.
After Mrs. Cre-ffield had. en
tered a plea of not guilty Judge
Frater stated from the bench:
V There was considerable ev
idence introduced in the trial of
George Mitchell , to show that
Mrs. CrefEeld had been confined
in an insane asvlum and that Es
ther Mitchel had be ome insane
and was confined in the Boys' and
Girls' Aid society home in Port
land. Taking this evidence into
consideration I ihink that it
would be advisable if an insanity
commission was appointed to re
port to this court whether or not
these women were sane or insane
when George Mitchell was killed.
If the commission should report
that they were insane' I should
send them both to the insane asy
lum and thus save the county and
taxpayers the expense of a trial.
I offer this as a suggestion to the
prosecuting attorney."
Prosecuting Attorney , Macin
tosh did not make any comment
in court upon the judges sugges
tion. "You can say for me,"
said Macintosh, "that these wo
men will be put on trial for mur
der ia the first degree. If they
were insane, then it is for a jury
to decide. I do not promise to
waste any time with a medical
commission." "
