WANTED IN ENGLAND.
A Portland Man Charged With Forging
VIII.

VIII.
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 24.-Captain
William Mcdonald was arrested here
this evening on the charge of forgery.
He is accused OF forging a will in Lam
caster, England, recently, under the
name of George Brooks, and by it came
into possession of considerable sum
of money. He afterwards came to
America, Mcdonald makes a general
and specific denial of the charge. He
says he has not been in England
for six years, and never was
in Lancaster; that he never
heard of George Brooks, and did not
sign that name to will or any other
document. He claims that he fought in
the war of the rebellion, and has good
record. He says he can prove an alibi,
as he was in this state at the time the
alleged forgery was committed. He had
just returned from Seattle when the
arrest was made. Mcdonald has been
in business here several months. He
has been arrested here before several
times on different charges.

KANSAS Cry, Dec. 24.-The first snow
OF the season fell today in Northwest
Missouri and Northern Kansas. Some
OF the incoming trains on the western
roads were delayed two or three hours.
A dispatch from Wichita, Kan, says
81 soaking rain fell in the southern
part of Kansas today. 1t was just what
the country needed, and will doubtless
extinguish the threatened invasion OF
the Hessian fly. A special from Topeka
says the state board of agriculture has
received telegraphic advices from the
northern part of the state to the effect
that the snowstorm today covered the
winter wheat. Snow was badly needed.

MRS. GILLEN'S SAD PLIGHT
A Distressing Tale of Absolute Need

A Distressing Tale of Absolute Need
Related to the Police Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon a young woman
of prepossessing appearance called at
the police station, and stated that her
name was Mrs. Anna Gillen, and that
she resided at Mrs. Carberry's lodging
house, No. 122R South Broadway.
For some time past her bus
band has been out of employment,
and failing in his efforts to get work in
Los Angeles, he determined about ten
days ago to strike out into the country
in search of a job, telling her to keep up
her courage, as he would keep going un-
til he found something to do. Since
that time, however, she had not even
heard of or from him, and when the last
OF the few dollars he left behind him had
been expended for the necessaries of life
for herself and two children, the eldest
OF which is only eighteen months old,
she was at her wits end. In order to
defray her board bill the poor woman
pledged her trunk, containing her entire
wardrobe, hoping that her husband
would return or write to her. Now,
however, the email sum she raised
by this means has been spent also, and
she finds herself penniless and almost
without change of raiment, with two
small children dependent upon her for
their daily bread, which she by relent-
less chain of circumstances is forced to
deny them. All she asked was tempo
rary relief until her husband returned
or wrote to her. Her immediate neces-
stiles were supplied, and she was re-
ferred to the Ladies' Benevolent society,
to which the case must surely commend
itself at this season of ''peace on earth,
good will toward men,"

Bold Robber.

Many pretty robberies have of late
taken place in Hoboken, n Y, which
haves worried the police considerably,
but Tuesday morning something hap
pened which caused panic among the
residents, especially those who live in
the most wealthy quarter. Burglars
were at work in two places, apparently
about the same hour. In one instance
they were attacked by savage blood
hound, which, after desperate struggle,
succeeded in driving them off In the
second case the thieves were chased by
policemen over the roofs of houses. The
tenants were in an uproar, and two of
the officers were severely injured by
falling from the roofs during the
exciting man hunt. No arrests were
made Little is known of the battle
between bloodhound and burglar be-
You'd the mute evidence presented
yesterday morning in the yard of
Mr.. Runton's residence, near Castle
Point The family had been awakened
some time after midnight by the growl-
ing of the animal which was roaming
around the place. They listened, and
although the sounds continued for a
time, it was concluded that nothing
unusual was the matter, so no invest
CATION was made. When one of Mr..
Runton's servants entered the yard
some hours later, however, a trail of
blood was found leading from under
rear window of the house to the fence.
At the latter place portion of the leg
of mans trousers was also found 1t
was evident that the burglars leg had
been seized by the blood hound while in
the act of scaling the fence. The dog
was also covered with blood, and he had
all che appearance of having gone
through a hard tussle. The men had
not succeeded in gaining an entrance to
the house.
