"The workers of the world also are suffering the in evitable price of living a riotous life during the last nix years."

He met Henry Wend on the outskirts of town and asked where fie could get some thing to eat. Air. We ml directed the man to tho Itoyal restaurant. At 6:40 o'clock tho man entered tho restaurant and ordered "a h'owl of inush and ham and." Mrs. H. Williamson, wife of tho pro prietor of the Itoyal, took tho order. While the breakfast was being pro pared M r. Wend, who had become suspicious of tho stranger, walked past tho restaurant to see If the mar. had entered the place.

It borders on the district to which Hnrry Traeoy fled to cludo posses in Ills escape several year ago from tho Ore gon state penitentiary ut Salem in which he killed several persons. There is a fooling among members of tho posse that Oardner is a danger ons man and Is likely to give battle and it Is possible that no member of the pursuers will take any chances with him, but will shoot at the slight est Indication that ho is unwilling to surrender.
