P0RTLAND'S SENSATION.
Woman of a Good Social Position Ar
rested for Alleged Pocket
PickiHq

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 14.-Mrs. Nellie
G. Jones. occupying a good social position
here, is under arrest for alleged pocket
picking at the exposition last night. For
some time pickpockets have had good
harvest in the exposition building, and
last night the wife of Superintendent
George w. Baker lent herself as decoy.
In the pocket of her jacket she carried a
stuffed purse, projecting almost two-thirds
above the edge. An ex-detective who ar
rested Mrs. Jones declares he saw her take
the purse and drop it on the floor, but
the part of the building where Mrs. Jones
is alleged to have committed the theft was
very much crowded, ana it is quite pos
sible that the pocket-Dook might have
been jostled out of the decoy's pocket by
the packed, surging mass.
Mrs. Jones is Incorporating, well-man-
nered and intelligent woman. Before her
release on bail this evening. she said: !:
'This is simply terrible. did not realize
MY position in the excitement of the mo-
ment following my arrest. But during
the night, when / awoke, the horror of the
charge against me presented itself. Par
ticularly this is so when l realize that l
am perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing.
While do not wish any one any harm"
she said in conclusion, "yet / sincerely
hope that the persons having picked pock-
cts at the exposition may be arrested.
The crimes can easily be proven against
them, while I shall be establish my inno-
cence."

VICTIMZE A DRUMMER,
Montana Bunko Men Pick Up a
Tenderfoot From Sleepy
Philadelphia.
The Stranger Drugged and Then
Robbed of His Simple Case of
] welry.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct IA. - Leopold
Adler, representing Philadelphia jewelry
manufacturers, arrived in Portland last
night minus his sample case, containing
$1,000 worth of jevelry. He departed on
to-day's train for Livingston, Mont,
where he hopes to recover'at least por-
tion of his missing valua ables.
Adler is not more than 26 years DID, and
this is his first trip to the wild and
wooIly" West. few hours before the
train on which he was passenger reached
Livingston two well appearing young men
engaged him in conversation, which finally
wound up in a friendly game of whist.
While the play was progressing third
genteel-looking fellow invited the party to
join him in bottle OF wine. The invita-
tion was accepted, and not only one bottle
but three were emptied before the trio re-
turned to the game.
Before the end of the second deal Adler
was sound asleep, and he awoke only after
the train had left Livingston several miles
behind it. His three social friends had left
the train at that point. Adler paid no
attention to his valuable samp ple-case until
the train rolled into the Union depot at
Portland. He then found all his other
packages of baggage, but the most valu-
able one was missing, and in 1t was $1,000
worth of diamonds and jewelry.
The young drummer, quickly realizing
that his friends on the cars had drugegd
and robbed him, having by some means
ascertained he was a iewelry drummer
with a valuable stock in his possession,
wired to the Sheriff at Livingston a de-
scription of the confederates. He received
a reply later to return at once to identify
his men, who are notorious bunko sharp
ers in that locality and within reach of the
authorities.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-15

next morning he sent Jean Pool as his
deputy to hold an inquest, and it was not
until this afternoon that Pool returned.
Pool says the body was located in a
lonely canyon, in country nothing more
than a desert There was neither in
habitant, tim ber nor water within miles
of it. The body was lying on its face,
close to the road, apparently where 1t had
fallen. Every indication tends to prove
that the man had perished for the want OF
water and food, for there were no marks
on the body to show that death had re-
suited from violence from either beast OF
man.
The body was coatless, and beside it lay
a hand-satchel and memorandum book.
Ligh. trousers,la black shirt and black
felt hat constituted tie main portion ot
the clothing. The hair was brown and the
beard, apparently of weeks growth, was
of a reddish cast. The satchei contained
papers and several business cards of law
vers and real-estate men, all showing con-
nection with San Francisco and that the
man had resided in that city. Among the
cards were a number unused, bearing the
following:

MRS. BOOTH At S STANFORD
The Commander of the Volun
teers Talks to Students
and Faculty.
Explains the Necessity of a Separa.
tion From the Old Saliva.
tion Army.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct.
H.-Mrs. Maud Baliington- Booth lectured
here this afternoon to large audience
of students and faculty members. The
chapel was crowded long before the lec-
ture hour, and when DR.. Jordan stepped
forward to introduce the speaker there
was not even room for standing, every
available vantage point being taken.
Mrs. Booths discourse was delivered in
that sincere, ringing style which has made
her fame as speaker so great Mrs.
Booth said that she came to address those
present as the representative of an organi-
zation that believed in practical work
rather than in talk.
"Our movement" said she, sis very
young as yet, but with the love of God, by
whom it is inspired, it will grow in size,
strength and usefulness. We may be de-
rided, contemned and criticized at first,
but, looking TO the power that guides the
movement and not the movement itself,
we know that victory is assured
Referring to the separation of the Volun-
teers from the regular Salvation Army
Mrs. Booth said: 1--WE came TO find from
constant relation ana work with the peo-
pie of this land that we were broadened
by its democratic character. We loved
the land and the people and we found
that we could better serve those we
wished to reach by changes from the
regular order; but it was necessary to send
5000 miles away across the ocean to those
who didn't understand the conditions and
needs and requirements for permission to
make these changes. And then the
answers would come back. No, you can't
do it. We don't do it that way here and
you mustn't there
1--WE came to feel like throwing these
answers in to the ocean as the tea had gone
into Boston harbor before it. We came
to feel that this was too broad, too varied
land to have its policy outlined 5000
miles away. So we forAed the Volunteers
of America. We began6new. independent
of all churches and every church, to do
that work which they couldn't do or were
not doing. We gave up to the old order
everything we possessed and started out
with just $100 of borrowed money. We
did not endeavor to gain by per-
suasion a single adherent from the
Salvation Army, for we desired only
such as came to our standard volun-
tarily. We desired no mushroom growth
that fiourishes in night and dies in the
dav. Now we have over 400 commissioned
officers and 416 commissioned posts, be-
sides great offices in New York and our
| own printing establishment. Our mission
is the mission of hope and we pray God
that he may bless it and prevent it from
falling into any rut that would curtail its
usefulness"

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 14.-The fol-
lowing cablegram was received by Gov
ernor Budd this afternoon:
CANNES, France, Oct. IA, 1896.
To Governor Budd. Sacramento. Cal: Find C.
W. Clarke. Wife, boy and self starving. Com
pei him to cable me $1,000 Immediately. De-
lay means prison. HEREwARD HOYTE.
The foregoing message is from the hus-
band of the former Sacramentan, Mrs.
Lucy Williams Auzerais- Hoyte, who at
the present time is evidently in serious
financial distress In the sunny South of
France,
Mrs. Hoyte was the adopted daughter of
the late Llewellyn W illiams of Sacramento,
who bequeathed to her something like
$175 200, which she proceeded to ''blow
in in improbable theatrical ventures.
About 500, 900 was also left to her young
son, Tor whom c. w. Clarke, the wealthy
stockman of Sacramento, is guardian.
The funds of the young son are in the
hands of trustees, and as Clarke is absent
from the city it is impossible to ascertain
whether he will consent to accede to this
demand or not.
At all events it in no way concerns the
executive head of the State, and as far as
ca be learned the Governor will take no
official notice of the demand other than to
place the cablegram in the hands of the
attorney for Mr.. Clarke.

There is no doubt but what the BODY of

where in the eastern part of that county

stating that his visit to San Luis Obisoo
had been very satisfactory, and that he
was intending 70 visit the land in question
and had passed through Santa Marguerita

The land he said was still farther east,
and he expected to meet people who

FRESNO'S LEGAL SCANDAL.
A Sensational Suit in Which Attorney
jackson Is Accused of Misappropri-
atinq S35, 900 of Clients.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 14.-What may
prove to be the most sensational civil ac-
ton in the history OF Fresno County was
instituted to-day in the Superior Court.
Samuel Jackson, the well-known attorney,
is accused by Rebecca A. Rawlins of hav-
ing misappropriated many thousands OF
dollars.
In her complaint Mrs. Rawlins asserts
that during the month OF August, 1891,
she entered into an agreement with Jack
son, under the terms of which he was to
invest certain sums of money for her.
In all $500 passed through Mr.. Jack
sons hands, it is alleged. and only a
small portion of this sum has been ac-
counted for.
Sarah F. Jackson, wife of Jackson, has
been made co-defendant in the action.
1t is charged that much of the money
alleged to have been frsudulently OBJ
tanned by Jackson was, by devious means,
transferred to the possession of his wife.
1t is further alleged that much interest
money paid 10 Jackson has been by him
diverted from its proper channel. H. h.
Welsh is the plaintiffs attorney. The
case will be bitterly contested.

Attorney and Counsellor-at-Law,
522 Montgomery street, Rooms 1 and 2.

This name appeared on the front of the
scratch book, which contained many notes
regarding lands, etc. Many of them were
in shorthand. The book and entries are
just such as an ordinary attorney might
carry into court with him and in which he
would iot down casual notes.
Among the entries was one showing the
name of Dan A. McCoIgan, attorney at.
law, % Montgomery street." and another
Henry L. Horn. notary, corner of Wash
ington and Battery streets"
In the satchel was also a steamship
ticket from San Francisco to Port Hartford
and return. The ticket bore the date OF
October 2. 1t showed that it had been
used by him or some one else to ride to
Port Hartford.
1t appeared that death had resulted
something like two days before the
body was found. The man was about %
years of age, and the body indicated that
it had been that of a man who did not toll.
1t was buried neSr where it was found.
The unfortunate man was evidently

sadly grief-stricken, ana his poor mother
was completely prostrated. He was the
only son and "a years of age. The young
man was born IN Baltimore, Md, and
came to this State with his parents twenty
years ago. Hahn received his education
in the Hamilton Grammar School and the
Boys High School.
He was graduated from the Hastings
Law COLLEGE and = year and half ago was
admitted to practice in the profession OF
his choice. Since then he has devoted
much OF his practice to land cases, and for
a young man was very successful. He was
highly respected and had large circle of
intimate friends.
His family at once sent to Bakersfield
to have the body forwarded to this City
for interment, and the news that it had
been buried somewhere away in the des-
ert added to their distress.
