Portland, Nov. 1(1- -The jury in the suit of Mrs. Beatrice Hill Gadsby, who sought damages to the amount of $200,004 from William Gadsby, her father-in-law, a prominent man of thia city, for the alienation of the affections of her husband, today, af ter nineteen hours' deliberation, re turned a verdict for 18000 in favor of the complainant. The suit grew out of the separation of Walter and Beatrice Gadsby after a short period of married life. Mrs. Gardrby alleging that their trouble and subsequent separation was the result of the interference of the young husband's parents. The Hill and Gadsby families are prominent in the business and social lite of Portland. From Falls City to Newport Is about 50 miles.

Ill., Nov. 10.—Excitement over the murder of Miss Annie Pol ley, whose body was found in an al leyway here Tuesday night is at a fever heat. There is talk of lynching William James, one of the negro sus pects held in the city jail. Evidence that the murdered shop girl fought through a terrific struggle before succumbing to h r brutal assailants, was discovered when the authorities were confronted, with the task of solving her murder. Bits of torn clothing strew the al leyway in which children found her disfigured corpse, these mute evi dences of the girl's love for life and purity revealing that she fought against her murderers for two blocks. That her fight was destined to be a losing one was evidenced by the carefully prepared gag and the heavy cloth bands with which her cries for aid were stifled and her strength overcome. Tacoma.

Two declared, they are willing to go to work and were marched to the rock pile amid the jeers and curses of their former comrades. More than one hundred prisoners still persist In their refusal to accept prison fare, some apparent ly having touched no food since Thursday night. Some of these lie in their bunks, too weak and too ex hausted to stand. Owing to the crowded condition of the city jail about thirty of the leaders have been removed to the Franklin school building where they are held under heavy guard. While the government has granted permis sion to put the prisoners in the guardhouse at Fort George Wright, the city officials have not yet util ized the fort for detention purposes. $90.000 WORTH OF ORE BLOCKED OUT Cincinnati, Nov. 10.—-Experts con tinue their work of untangling the affairs of the Big Four’s financial department in this city, on account of the defalcations of Charles Warri- ner, the deposed treasurer. Inas much as the shortage has jumped in a few days from $100,000 to $643.- 000, still further developments along this line will not astound those in close touch with the company's af fairs. One of the developments was the probable removal of the company’s office from this city to Chicago. The Woman In the Case.

She denied in forming the officials of the Big Four of Warriner's shortage, because he refused to continue his payments of hush money. TAP Cottage Grove, Or., Nov.9.—A.
