pockets, and n charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons was entered against him.

placed the weapons in his pockets to carry
them to his new lodging place. His honor

sonal bonds were accepted.

ago. and, Boyle, who is only II years of
age, is accused OF being one of his assall-
ants.
Sunday night two weeks ago Lynch, in
an intoxicated condition, was being led
home by boy named Willie Smith.
While on Vallejo street, near Battery,
Lynch was attacked by three boys. He
vas knocked down and kicked on the
head, legs and body. Two of the assail-
ants ran away, but Boyle remained and
stabbed Lynch behind the ear with pair
of shears.
The boy Smith notified Policeman Hen
neberry, who had Lynch removed to the
Receiving Hospital, where DR.. Fitzgibbon
dressed the wound behind the ear. Lynch
was taken TO his home, but on the follow
ing Thursday he was again taken to the
Receiving Hospital in an unconscious con-
dition and DR.. We'll ordered his removal
to the City and County Hospital, where it
was found that his skull was fractured,
his body was mass of bruises and con-
tusions and erysipelas had set in from the
wound behind his ear.
Boyle, who was employed in the stables
OF Gray Bros, was arrested oy Policeman
Henneberry on Thursday, October 90. He
is hard-looking boy, and according to
the police bears a bad reputation on
Vallejo street, where his parents reside.
He denies knowing about the attack on
Lynch, but the police say they have wit
nesses who will prove that he was the
principal assailant.
From what the police can gather the
attack was entirely unprovoked. Lynch
and the boy Smith were walking quietly
along the street when Boyle and the other
boys pushed against Lynch. Then, with
out word being said, Lynch was struck
in the face and fell to The ground. when
the three boys jumped upon him and beat
and kicked him most numerically.
Policeman Hennebe rry, who has been
specially detailed on the case, has not yet
been able to lay his hands upon Boyie's
two companions, but he expects soon to
have them in custody.
Lynch's body was removed to the
Morgue and an inquest will be held.

PORTLAND RATES

Harmony Between the War

Restored.
One of the Objects of President
McNeill's Visit to This
City.

A Rate War That Has Been Main.
tanned for More Than Three
Years.

e. McNeill, who by reason of his skillful
management of the property of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company while
he was receiver of that corporation was
elected to be president and general
manager of the reorganized company, is
in the City for the purpose of adjusting
the differences between his company and
the Southern Pacific Company, and also
Pacific Steamship Company. Should he
succeed in bringing about harmonious
arrangement there would be an imme-
diate restoration of freight rates between
San Francisco and Portland.
For three or four years the war between
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany and the Southern Pacific Company
in the first instance and that between the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company
and North Pacific Steamship Company
later resulted in rates being cut to such an
extent that every carrier operating be-
tween here and Portland has been losing
heavily. All interests involved are now
heartily sick of the fight, and in a mood,
1t is believed, to make concessions to bring
about peace.
After the North Pacific Steamship Com
and Hum boldt bays, began to cut rates to
Portland the Oregon Railway and Navi-
cation Company put on q special steamer,
the Arcata, 10 cut into the way business of
| its rival.
| 1t is understood that one of the out
comes of peace will be the withdrawal OF
the Arcata from the Coos and Humboldt
Bay route, in consideration OF the North
Pacific Steamship Company agreeing to
maintain rates 10 Portland at such figures
as may be agreed upon.
During the height of the rate war freight
In some instances was taken by the water
carriers Tor as low as 25 cents a ton, and
owing to the low rates prevailing over the
water lines the Southern Pacific, for some
time past, mas virtually been out of the
freight business between here and PORT
land.
While rates will be considerably cd
yanced as soon as the terms of peace have
been agreed upon and ratified, they will.
1t Is stated, be Kept at so low figure as
not to invite outside competition.

returned by the jury.
Only two witnesses were examined, c. E.
Bendixen, who was with the suicide on
the fatal evening, and Robert Capele
brother OF the deceased. Bendixen de-
scribed how he went to the Cliff House
with the deceased. Capelle was well, he
said, but acted queerly and passed strange
remarks. Robert Capelle swore that his
brother had been sick for long time, and
that he took his own life while tenn mporarily
insane.
In the case of Daniel Johnson, verdict
OF accident was returned. 1t was de-
yeloped at the inquest that the deceased
had been suffering from lung trouble for
some time. and without the knowledge of
his family had been using morphine. On
the evening of October 29 he took an over
dose of this poison, from the effects of
which he died the following day.

BROKE INTO JAIL,
Edward Erickson Tells Story as to
Why He Robbed Uncle Sans
Mail Box

Edward Erickson, self-confessed men,
Der of the Weary Willie gans, occupies a
cell at the County Jail. He is charged by
the local postal authorities with robbing a
mail box, though the Government has no
evidence to convict further than the mans
own testimony.
In fact Erickson has such hard-luck
story to tell that if he is finally given a
lodging place in San Quentin, it may be
largely attributed to sentimental feeling
on the part of the jury.
1t appears that Erickson is a hard
working Swede who left his native land
some four years ago, impressed with the
ldea that American coin could be almost
had for the asking. Arriving in New
York he found this kind of thing a mere
delusion, and forthwith concluded to seek
his fortune on the Pacific Slope. As he
Journeyed westward matters financial
seemed to become more contracted, until
finally the enthusiastic Swede developed
into an humble member of the Weary
Willie" gang.
In San Francisco Erickson found things
no better than lin the East or Middle
West. He followed the old drag of beg
glng along the streets and then made a
house-to-house canvass of it. 'sWhen
these leads had been gone over again and
again, he said in his statement before

Erickson was held to answer before th e

years, and the Swede says he hopes he will
get the limit.
