THURSDAY


Two DARRIRs ARREsrED.-Twod darxies,
aged about 20 and 25 years went to the
snoe shop OF Charles Prochnow yester-
| day afternoon, where one of them had q
pair of shoes half so.ed, for which he
paid. Later a pair OF shoes was missed
by Mr. Prochnow. The two darkies were
suspected, when they where hunted up
and the shoes found in their possession.
They were examined before Justice
| Freeksen this afternoon. The principal
| evidence against them was their pres
ence in the shop and the possession Of
the shoes, which they were not seen TO
take. The older one stated that they
J bought the shoes OF tramp about 80
/ CLOCK. for S1.t0, describing the trans
action min"tely. The justice ordered
the men held under $50 bonds for the
grand jury. Deputy attorney Kelley ap-
peared for the state aud the older darkey
ah.y defended the case in an interesting
manner. They gave the names of Henry
Jackson, and Henry Jackson, both the
stated that they were on their way to
Tacoma to work in hotel.
A Sur FOR FRAUD. The 0regonian is
giving the particulars of an exciting
suit in which Frank and Bertha Wieland
charge f NJ Siminton, " d Palmer and
w Graves, forming a well known real
estate finn with fraud. Mr. Wieland was
recently baker for Parker Brothers OF
this city, residing here several months,
and hence the case is OF particular inter
est here. Wieland, through the real es
tate agents, bought bakery for $500, it
being represented that it was entirely
free from encumbrance and doing $50
daily business. Everything proved TO
be encumbe-ed except two horses, and
tickets, which lad been given in trade
for ditferet things came in so fast that
Wieland did not nearly make expenses.
It was thought the preliminary exami-
were evidectly badly Luncoec, but
whether they can prove it is another
thing.

admission to the circus has been reduced

German OF this city. After entering, he
saw people going toward the reserved
seats, and, thinking it vas the proper
thing upon demand handed out - cents.
Then the popcorn boy came along yelling,
Popcorn. only 10 cents, everybody
eats popcorn at the circus" Ut course
he took the popcorn as well as other
things, until he had paid dollar, when
he declared that was the limit, he
thought he had done the square thing.
