Botli Mr. Stanton and Miss Boje are well known in 'the city. Miss Boje, who is a pretty girl of about 19 summers, has served from time to time as waitress in the various res taurants and hotels in the city, and Mr. Stanton is an Portland Railway, Company. Mr. Stanton is a, widower with two qhildren, his former wife having de serted him, and some time ago he secured a divorce from her on this ground. Shortly afterwards ho met and fell in love with Miss Boje. His love was reciprocated as they say in such matters and both were anx ious to become married, but the six months' inhibition clause In the di vorce decree stood in the way, and they had to wait. In the meantime, Miss Boje, in view of the contem plated and agreed upon marriage de cided to keep house for Mr. Stanton, and care for his children. Recently sho was taken ill with typhoid fever, and returned to her home at Falls City, and it was here that trouble for the couple bobbed up. She Whistled and lie Came. , During her convalescence from the fever her father, D. F. Boje, raised objections to her marriage to Stanton, and he was apparently of the opinion that he had persuaded her to forget him, but he had not.

Ho was to leave his team down the road from the home, so that it would be out of sight, and then come to the home unobserved. At the appointed hour she was to come to the gate and whistle, and he was to emerge fro mhis place of con cealment and come to her.

IMilIiwlr-liililii. MnrrTi 7. At. Mm ronrliislnii lit n itront mnsa mcpt- ing this afternoon at the Labor Lyceum, 10,000 rioters nnd several hundred policemen engaged In n Jlerco conflict. The riot started when a policeman struck a man on the head with a club, while attempting to arrrest him for carrying concealed weapons. A crowd near the building attacked the policeman, and in an in- Is stunt dozens of infuriated men began a general assault upon the police. ' Reserves were called and mounted police were soon riding down the struggling men. The horsemen swung their riot maces in an endeavor to break up the rioting groups, but the continually increasing crowd made their work ineffective. Several street cars appeared on the scene at a critical time, and a the sight of them, manned by strike-breakers, aroused the mob to in- creased fury. t Showers of stones, bricks and everything on which the men could lay their hands, fell upon the police and the cars. The police were ordered to lire. A scattering volley wns sent over the heads of the rioters, but this did not frighten them into desisting from the struggle. The police gradually gained the upper hand, an dsccmed to he about to get control of the situation late this afternoon. The rioting continued, however,' and the men fought the police dog- gcdly. ' ' At sundown there wns still danger of the outbreak becoming. serious. The authorities took extra precautious to guard against a general riot breaking out tonight. The police are becoming exhausted from their long hours of nl- most constant service, and are gradually losing the spirit of for- bearunce manifested during the early stages of tho strike. It is feared that vlolcncfe on the part of tho police, if carried any further than is absolutely necessary ns a defensive measure, will re- suit in bloodshed.
