state of the weather would permit.
There were celebrations at Siletz
and Newport, and a picnic at Chit
wood. \ description Of the picnic
is given by our correspondent from
Chitwood in his usual happy style.
The Siletz program was seriously
iutcrlered with by the rain, but q
very good time was had ueverthe-
less. The exercises at Newport
were held in the opera house, and
were very good. Miss Penn read
the Declaration Of independence in
an exceedingly worthy manner.
Hon. ]. X. Weatherford delivered
an eloquent and patriotic address.
Some recitations and songs by the
children completed the exercises.
a tug of war on the street in the
evening between Toledo and New
port furnished a little excitement,
till the Toledo boys drew their con.
testants over the mark. The at
tempt to make fireworks out Of the
old steamer BENTON proved 4 great
failure.

THE sWiNDLER ESCAPED.
He Had Good Time at Hotel Atwood
Lewiston.

John Hartford, who has been a guest
at Hotel Atwood, Lewiston, gave Land
lord Kicker a lively chase Monday. Hard
ford represented, when in that city that
he had a fortune of 1882, 600, and that he
was having an allowance of $500 month
He had stable teams for which he did not
pay, borrowed money from the hotel
people, the help and guests, drank lot
of liquor, associated with the gayest of the
drummers, and had rousing time on
credit. He went into bank while with
Mr.. Kicker and when he came out he ap-
peared to be rolling up some bills but now
it is supposed that there was only one
over a wad of paper.
Hartford said Monday that he was COM
ing to Portland for his baggage and tax
ing macintosh which belonged to the
night clerk, who was in bed, she took the
train in company with drummer whom
he had been treating to such luxuries as
drummer that he had cashed check fol
$3.50, but on the train he asked for the
loan of $25. This, and the fact that Hard
ford said, after starting for Portland, that
he was going to Boston today, aroused
the travelling mans suspicious and he
notified Mr. Kicker by wire of his discov-
cries.
Mr. Kicker came to Portland on the af-
ternoon train and found Hartford at the
Preble house where he had informed the
travelling man he should stay Monday
night. Mr.. Kicker asked Hartford many
his original story and agreed to return to
Lewiston. Accordingly, he and Mr.
Kicker took the train. At Westbrook
Junction Hartford started for the end OF
| the Car, saying he was after drink OF
water. He went out on the platform and
was about to enter the next car, which
was a Pullman, when the conductor told
him he could not go in there. He said
swell 1 can go here" and grasping the
rod on the corner of the car he swung off.
A passenger who knew something about
| the circumstances, seized him by the
| shoulder, but seeing the Western bound
train passing at high speed he was afraid
| the man would be injured, SO he let go
The train from which Hartford jumped
was moving rapidly out of the station a
Westbrook and the other train was goine
in, SO it is probable that he followed il
and got aboard.
Mr.. Kicker got off at Falmouth, tool
the next train towards Portland and al
Westbrook sent a dispatch to the Portland
police asking them to arrest the man
Hartford was introduced at Hotel At
| wood by a wealthy Vermont gentleman
He was not well dressed and had no bag
gage with him. Hartford said his people
lived in Luxenburg Germany, and were
Very wealthy
