TETU, General Manager, Portland, Oregon A GATES OUTRAGE The little town of Gates this week had another live case. It is reported about like this. Victor Martin, in charge of what is known as a blind pig there, got a yonng girl of about fourteen, a niece ot Henry Carmodv, of Portland, who was visiting there.in thoplace.and attempted to commit an outrage. The girl screamed, and several men rushed to the place. Martin fled out of the rear door, locking it, and thus getting a start, flying to the bushes, where he remained hid for a night and a day. A posse was formed and with a rope hunted for the fellow, and it is said something would have been done if found at the time. He was finally se cured after the posse had cooled down soma and given five minutes to skip from the town. He skipped at long jumps cross lots towards the whiskey town of Salem. HOME ANk ABKOAD.
