Nina Danforth, the blue-eyed, blond haired dwarf, who shot and' killed An dred J. Emery, a Boston Jmd Albany fireman, made ber first appearance in court, after creating a sensation. The story of the crime Is one of a blind Infatuation and final loss of reas on. Miss Danforth is 22 years old, weighs about 75 pounds and is short of stature. her growth having been stunted' by splnr al trouble. From what is known con cerning the relations existing between the girl and the fireman it is believed thaf from seeins Emery dally pass her house In West Newton,' Mass., Miss Dan forth fell in love with him and Emery took advantage of her infatuation. They often met In Boston, and until quite recently the girl supposed Emery was unmarried. Upon ascertaining that ho had a family she evidently decided upon revenge.

An attempt was made to "bluff" Frank De Mandel, man ager of the Cottage Club, also known as the "Hog Wallow," No. 1724 Curtis street, out of 12000. A letter signed "Bob Boykln St Co.," found oik-the floor of the gambling house by a patron, contained' the Information that a two-pound box of nitre-glycerine had been placed In the ventilator of ths building; and another in the window through a wire screen, "Bob Boykln & Co." requested the night manager to get $2000 In 1100 bills from the safe, wrap th emoney in a news paper and push It out of a designated window. As an alternative, if the demand was not complied with within One minute, they announced that they would explode theohUd in the way they did for the lacf both package, of mtfo-glyoelne by mean. of funds to rive It nrnnr hnrinl rVir .... . .- lJUIIIlfflf John Sold Wife's False Teeth for Booze. of clockwork attachments, wrecking the house. , De Mandel read the letter, drew out his watch and counted the time. A minute elapsed and then two minutes and theii De Mandel recognised the threat as a 'bluff and Informed the players In the house of the note. Boykln, whose name was signed to the note,, was well known In Denver. H is . supposed to have been killed In the City of Maxlco a few months ago while mak ing a daring attempt to rob a bank single handed, but the report of his death has never been confirmed. The prise bicycle races at Salem last Sunday, held under : the auspices of the Federated . Trades, v were uninteresting from a sportsmen's view. Although sev. ral of Portland's crack riders, such as Inglefleld, Wyatt and Barrel!, went up intending to compete in the races, none of them did so, for the reason that the prises offered were too small to be worth their while. At last a number' of boy riders made up a match and partially en tertained ths spectators. The bicycle riders of Portland srs com plaining bitterly of the treatment they have been receiving at the hands of these excursionists. They say that this year they are expected to ride for a box of cigars 6r a sweater, and even then Are refused excursion passes, us was the case last Sunday, when all paid their fares to J Salem; besides, two motor cycles were taxed 23 cents each way as freight. In addition to this, the motor cycles were' charged an entrance fee of $1 each, but the owners did not see It that way. They were told' that the'" adertUement gained in the races are worth many times the entrance fee, and seemed to overlook, as said by. a bicycle man today, any obliga tions on the part of the managers. There- are a number of fast riders in the city, and it is worth anybody's while to see them spurt, ' but these Individuals do not care to train for an event offer ing a nominal prise." Last year quite- handsome prises, in the way of medals,. were hung up, and everybody was satis fied.' . , .: , - ' The conductors train excursion to Sa lem next Sunday promises better treat ment of the bicycle men. As a result of mutual carelessness, two bicyclists met with a violent collision on ths Bixteenth-street path one night last week. They were Tiding In opposite di rections on a single path. Both were without lamps, and perhaps bells, mak ing it almost. Impossible to aold a colli sion. Both .riders were considerably bruised up, and their wheels were great ly damaged, , The accident calls attention to a pre vailing carelessness or utter disregard of the law which expressly prohibits riding at nighttime without lamps, and without bells at all times. Many of ths accidents result from the non-observance of this statute, and It seems 'strange that the Chief of Police doesn't endeavor to en Jcrcs the law more than he does. Single track bicycle paths are dangerous to ride upon,- especially ar night, for this reason. Messrs. Bralnard. Frits, Blodget and le made a pleasurable motor cycle trip to .iho TwelvS-Mlre;Thouse,, on the Base Line road, and osr-to. TroutdaJe and re turn, last Sunday, For a long run over country roads the rabtor cycle cannot be beat. The party left Portland about 10 o'clpc m.t took. dinner at the Twelve Mile house on the way out, spent some little time in Troutdale, and returned home about 4 p. m., having mads ho at tempt at speed the entire trip. : it Anyway " ; jfl Bill ' .$TJ u A STAUNCH, PERFECT; RUNNING JVHEEL U required by the college athlete In his iporu, and tht entha- J ' ' TV.;.'tvvia.5:: BICiXUES u f StMOons this class of riders, si among ths vest multitude who ride for health and pleasure. r Maodsrd aV J A KamMsrscort mil) . ... , ..

Blacktree, freight clerk of Berkeley, met with an accident while attempting to board a moving train that would have cost him his life had not a courageous stranger pulled him .from beneath the moving train. , Blacktree was among a crowd of pic nickers returning from Fernbrook Park. At the Broadway Station he stepped from the platform to allow a lady to alight. As he attempted to board the train again it started and the young man was thrown from the steps. His head hit the springs of the coach and his face was badly lacerated. He was saved by prompt action or a passenger who was standings upon the steps, who. Jumped oft, ran ahead of the slowly moving train and pulled the man out of danger. The bystander -mod estly refused to give his .name,, though his courageous act was applauded by every one on the train. Blacktree was removed to the Receiving Hospital, where his wounds were dressed. Types Not to Blame. The talented young authoress was al most, in tears.
