A STIRRING TIME.
Edward Nj. Tssker Has Quite a Lively
Experience.

Mr.. Edward M. Tasker, whose mystic ri
Gus disappearance some time ago was
chronicled, with the equally mysterious
appearance on the streets of Portland
soon after, is again brought into promin-
ence through his arrest on Saturday last.
1t seems that Mrs. Tasker had decided
to leave the house where she has been
residing and contemplated removing
the furniture which she claims is hers.
She visited the station Saturday and
asked the deputy marshal in charge if
she would be interfered with If she at
tempted to move the furniture The
deputy told her he would send an off,
Ger who would keep the peace, but who
would not interfere in any other way
while the moving was going on, and he
despatched Officer Quinn to the spot.
Tasker was at his home and he had evil
IDENTIFY been drinking freely. While the
packing was going on preparatory to re-
moyal, Tasker sat looking on, until all
at once he sprang up and smashed a big
mirror. Then fun began. Tasker tried
to break up other pieces of brio-a-brao
when the man who was packing tried to
prevent him. Then Tasker smote the
packer whereupon the packer got in a
little fine work BEFORE Officer Quinn
seized the two men to separate them.
Then Mr.. Tasker turned and pitched
into the officer. Now when Tasker did
that he must have lost his Judgment, for
Quinn is very bad man to tackle and
it was but few moments before he had
downed his man, got him under complete
subsection and took him to the station
about $50 O'Clock. During the little
melee things were used up generally. AT
the station Tasker was held for drunken
ness and disturbance in his own house
and put in the lodging room, after a
cigar was given him to quiet down.
Yesterday morning he was sent over TO
Jail.
1t is reported that when Tasker found
that his wife really meant to move out
of the house that he demanded her
diamonds Of which she has considerable
share and Of much value. She refused
and he drew a revolver on her. He didn't
succeed as she didn't scare worth cent.
Another story is that he threatened her
with an axe. But these stories could
not be substantiated.

knocked Down by a Biczcle.

yesterday afternoon thres young men
were riding at moderate pace on their
bicycles down Congress street and when
just below Washington street a little boy
about eight years of age ran from the
Sidewalk directly in front Of one of the
bicycles. Before the rider could stop or
turn 30 either side his bicycle struck the
boy and knocked him down. He was
taken into Murphy Brothers drug store
where it was found that he had ESCAPED
with some slight cuts about the han ds
and mouth. His wounds were dressed
and he was sent home 1t is wonder
that he was not seriously injured.

Yesterday very gentle looking little
woman went into the union station and
whispered to the Inatron, "Who Is that
woman over there?'
''That is Mrs. Hetty Green, the richie st
woman in the world replied the
matron.
Fl wonder what made her afraid of
me-" said the lady.
The lady said she was on Congress
street and was anxious to get to the
station as soon as possible. She noticed
hack passing and lifted her hand The
driver saw the signal andadrew his horses
up. AS she was about to enter the hack
woman inside cried out sharply, "Get
out of here. You mustn't come into this
hack. Don't come near me-"
The astonished lady drew back having
an idea that tho woman inside was
probably insane, and Mrs. Green said to
the driver, "Drive on, drive on" The
astonished and somewhat angry lady
took an electric and was surprised when
told that Mrs. Green probably suspected
that she was in danger of being robbed.
81 wouldn't take her money and feel that
way" was the only comment. of the
lady when told that she had been taken
for thief by the richest woman of the
world,

ENCOTRiGING FIGHTERS.

approval, TO the boxing exhibition Of the
Broadway Club the other night at which Peter
Mahcr knocked OUT Joe Choynski. Police
Commissioner Roosevelt made one of those
errors OF judgment which have at times inter
