Alcoholic Humor In Portland.

PORTLAND, Oct 10-Constabe George Lewis
and Policeman John Curtin. OF Albina, were ar
reste this afternoon by deputy sheriff on
complaint of Clarence Cole, deputy district
attorney for Albina, charging them with high.
way robbery. 1t appears that all the parties
concerned have been in the habit of holding
each other up every day for money enough to
buy beer for the crowd. Mr.. Cole had assisted
in several such cases, hence he was not an ANA
teur. Therefore Curtin and Lewis asked him to
treat, and Cole said he hadn't cent. "Lets
hold him up" proposed Lewis. Curtin
joined in, and the attorney was
soon relieved of SIT and his pocket-knife TAX
ing some of the money, the crowd, Cole In
cluded, went into neighboring saloon and
called for a drink, Cole taking rum and gum.
However, the sufferer was angry and vowed he
would play even. He then went away, and an
hour later Curtin and Lewis were arrested. The
result was great surprise to them, and now, to
get square, they will cause the arrest OF Cole for
breaking open Constable Lewis money drawer
yesterday, from which he took D cents. The
whole trouble arose from practical joke, many
the like of which Cole, il is claimed, has perpe'
trated.

NOT OUT ON PAROLE.
William Miller Had Been Formally Dis
charged From the Asylum.


DR.. John w. Waughop, superintendent OF the
Western Washington hospital for the insane,
has written to the observation-disclosures con-
corning the case of William Miller, the insane
young man who committed several desperate
deeds on the eastern shore of Lake Washington
last week and who is now once more in the hos
pital. DR.. Waughop writes:
William Miller, of Lake Washington, was not
a patient on parole from this hospital. He was
discharged over three years ago, July "a, 1888,
by order OF Junius Rochester, probate judge,
and has not been in this hosp ital since.
Miller was patient here from May %, 1885, to
July "a, 1883. His father had visited the hos
pital and asked me to discharge him, which
refused to do. He then came with the follow
ing legal document:
@In the probate court OF King county, Wash
ington Territory. In the matter OF the insanity
OF William Miller.
George H. Miller, the father of William Miller,
heretofore adiudged insane and now in the IN
sane asylum at Steilacoom, Washington ter
ritory, having this day filed in this court his
petition asking leave OF court to take charge OF
said William Miller, and having filed a bond as
required by law, il is considered and ordered by
the court that the said George II. Miller be and
he is allowed to take care and custody of said
William Miller, insane, until the further order
of this court. And the superintendent OF the
hospital for the insane at Steilacoom is ordered
and directed to deliver said William Miller to
said George II. Miller.
'Done in open court this oath day of July, 1883.
"JUNIUs ROCHESTER,
"Judge of the Probate Court of King County,
Washington Territory"
When Mr. Miller presented this order I at
once discharged his son and delivered him into
his hands My opinion was not asked as to the
advisabiity or safety OF releasing him. / was
simply "ordered and directed 70 deliver him
up to the father. AS George Fl. Miller gave
bonds for the safekeeping of his son possibly he
can be held for the damages his son committed.
Miller is responsible for his acts in my tudg-
ment, and ought to be in the penitentary,
where he can be more securely kept than in a
hospital But since he is committed to my
charge will use every precaution to prevent
his escaping aud iniuring his ong-sutiering

KEPT BACK THE CASH.
Carpenters Union Charges a
Member With Larceny.
He CLAIMS THE MONEY is HIS.
Proceeds OF . Fourth Of July Ball Re-
tanned to Pay for Committee Work
Other Cases Coming.

William ]. Hill, a carpenter, was arrested yes
terday on warreut sworn out by Henry NJ.
Wells, charging him with larceny. He was
raigned for hearing before Justice Won Tobel,
and on motion the examination was post
poned until Monday afternoon at O'Clock. His
bond was set at $500, but it being probable that
he could not find bondsmen at so late an hour,
the justice withdrew the bond and allowed him
to go on his own recognizance.
In his comp amt Wells specifically charges
Hill with the larceny OF Sal. On July local
union No. 35l of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners gave ball in the
Armory. For some time previous the union
made extensive preparations for the event.
Hill Was one Of a committee to which the union
entrusted the management of the affair. During
the latter part OF June Hill was given 800 tickets
to sell and the complaint charges him with ap-
propriating SAL, derived from the sale OF the
tickets, to his own use.
Hill alleges that his arrest was the result OF
malice He says that he turned over to the
union ell the money due, with complete state
ment, and that he did not appropriate cent to
his own use. But that the union owed him
more than the SAL for money advanced by him
when il did not have a cent in the treasury, and
for time lost on committee work in connection
with the trouble with w. E. Bailey.
Charles Fisher, financial secretary OF the
union, stated in connection with the affair that
tickets; that some time ago be sent letter to the
union stating that he had received SAL from the
sale of tickets and deposited it in bank and
would not turn it over, as he considered it safer
in bank than in the unions treasury to be
voted away for frivolous purposes; he also
claimed that the union owed him s25 for services
the committee in connection with the
trouble on the Bailey block. eve do not
know" continued Mr.. Fisher, "whether he re-
ceived SAL or 800 from the sale of tickets, and
as for the s25 he claims to be due him, he was
idle at the time and knew that it is
never customary to pay members for serv-
ing on committees or any other work OF that
kind, unless they are compelled to lose time
from their employment. He knows that the
union does not owe him penny. / was on the
committee with him and have done everything
in my power to induce him to settle up and he
has made half dozen appointments with me to
do so, but has never kept one of them. The only
recourse left was to have him arrested and make
an example of him. There are some other
members in the same boat with Hill, and II we
succeed in making case against him, as we are
confident, from the advice of counsel, that we
shall, we will then proceed against the others In
q similar manner"

CROP CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY.
Wheat, Corn and Dat Crops Yielding
weli-CaliforniaW Wheat Crop Failed.

wcli-California Wheat Crop Failed.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 10-The October re-
port of the statstician of the department of
agriculture relates to the yields per acre OF
grain and the condition of corn, potatoes, buck
wheat and tobacco. The estimated average
Yields are: Wheat, Is bushels; oats, 1913: bar
ley, 25s; rye, a. The condition OF corn is 92.5
per cent; buckwheat, 92.7; potatoes, 913
tobacco, 93.S. The yield of wheat in threshing
in most districts proved higher than the
apparent condition of the crop at the
harvesting would indicate. In the Ohio
valley, in Kansas and in the spring wheat
region exceptional individual yields have been
more numerous than usual, thus carrying these
state averages To the verge of the uest records of
former years. The averages in the Middle states
were nearly as high. California presents dis
appointing output, large area having been cut
for hay, and some districts, notably in the San
Joaquin valley, return reduced yields, which
are nearly a failure. The AVERAGE yields OF oats
are higher than the early returns OF condition
would indicate, though that of last month
showing that the condition when harvested was
the highest for several years, is still slightly
above the record of 1889. Oats evidently
shared the benefit of the influences OF the pres
ent season, yielding quite up to popular
expectations. The same may be said of barley.
The corn crop, which was very promising last
mouth, though a little late, and therefore in
danger OF frosts about latitude 20 degrees, and
somewhat injured already in the more northern
districts, has improved during the month as a
result OF the high temperature of the last two or
three weeks A good crop is assured. Potatoes,
which were in some sections threatened with
rot on the LIST of September, have come through
the month in good condition, with the loss of
only half point There was slight lowering
OF conditions in Maine, and in some states
Improvement was made. The average condi-
ton of tobacco was materially advanced during
september by the fine weather for maturing.

pretended the next day in Seattle with the har-
ness in his possession.

They reported that this could be done by piling,

company to undertake. DR.. Cotter says the peo-
pie OF Yuma are glad of the change. The new
sea will benefit the climate as well as provide
them with new method of trans portarion,
