LIEUT.. WELLS ARRESTED.
Charge OF Assault With Deadly
Weapon" Brought Against Him


Late yesterday afternoon a warrant
was served on Lieutenant G. B. Wells
of the mounted patrol for assault with
a deadly weapon" Manuel Abrey is the
complainant. Mr.. Wells has no idea of
who the man is, but he seems to think
that he was in some way injured by
bullet from his revolver, which pene-
trated the ground and was buried there
on the night of the fuss that was en-
tered on the police records as "rioting
and unlawfully assembling" Lieuten-
ant Wells was in the midst of the
crowd of Infatuated Portuguese, and on
seeing a man walk up behind one of
his officers in the performance of his
duties, he fired his revolver off into
the ground, after having warned the
Portuguese to approach no further, and
after having been totally disregarded
OF course the complaining Portuguese
may have imagined himself buried in
the ground in the immediate path of
the bullet and on those grounds brought
charges against Wells, who is now wear
ing the saddest of looks and a most ter
ribly frightened countenance. He has
not ceased to wonder, however, as to
Of the man who carried the
Ratchet, who should in the ordinary
run of things be the one to swear out
the warrant.

The manufacturers of
Pears soap have made a
fortune, not alone through
advertising their wares. but
by having their wares pure.
Ivory soap in the United
States has had an enormous
sale for the same reasons.
But the Self-WaShing Soap
made in Monmouth. Illinois,
is destined to supercede
both Pears and Ivory, be-
cause it is absolutely pure.
We have used this brand for
washing and toilet and find
it elegant.
The feature in this Self
Washing Soap is the absolute
freedom from ingredients
which are damaging to the
hands or clothing. A woman
may wash for a full day and
not feel any bad effects. AS
it requires no rubbing the
tired feeling which follows
a washing with ordinary
soap is avoided.
With us,ithaS another good
feature; it's cheap. We sell
you four cakes for a quarter
"a dozen for seventy cents.

Mr.. 0icaaivin Writes of the New Pacino
League.
r. J. Glenalvin. manager of the Port
land Baseball club. writes to a friend
from Detroit:
THE meeting of the new Pacific
league. held here, at the Russell
house, was most enthusiastic
one, and 1t is very plain to me that IL
this league Is not a most successful
one 1t will be no fault of the several
managers. for they have taken hold of
themselves to provide a good. fast ar
ticle of ball for the patrons OF the
game In the Northwest. The estab-
nshment Of the sinking fund protects
the player from any loss of salary.
and insures the securing of players OF
worth and ability. can assure the
people OF Portland that they will wit
ness the best baseball in the history
Of the national game in that section.
TT Is q recognized fact that the
game Is steadily improving with each
years play. and the young players are
putting up an article OF ball that Is
far superior to the go-as-you-please
game of the old-timers. The public de-
mads the liberal infusing of young
blood all around.
while the new Pacific league will
contain quite a liberal assortment of
young players, there will be just
enough old heads to- balance things
nicely.
"The old Pacific Northwest league
was handicapped from the start by
poorly managed teams, run on the
guarantee basis, and the long trip
over the mountains to Spokane. The
new organization starts out with a
clean sheeet, and compact circuit.
and with every assurance of perma-
nence and success.
THE success of the game in the
East has demonstrated that the game
is more popular than ever, and a league
conducted on business lines will, at
least, pay expenses. The Pacific North
west should be no exception to the
general rule.
Now that the league Is fully organ
lied, the work of securing players has
been commenced in earnest. 1t is my
intention to secure a fast fielding and
good base running team, with enough
good hitters to make matters interest
ing for the opposing pitchers. such a
team will receive good support In
Portland, and i shall make II a point
to see that, both individually and col
lectively the team is credit to the
bustling city of Portland.
Baseball as the great national
game, will continue to live and prosper
40 long as II is an honest sport, ana
conducted on honest principles. Recog-
nizing this, the promoters or the new
league will use their utmost endeavors
to perpetuate the game in the North
west. Here's to the success Oh Inc

Nr. Humm Did Not Blow His Brains
Out for Love of Mrs. Humm.

He Had Long Medi-
tated Suicide.

A coroner's inquest was held yester-
day afternoon over the body OF carr
Humm, who blew his brains out just
as the old year died. 1t was developed
at the inquest that Humm did not XIII
himself for love of his divorced wife.
but for love of the money which she
had got from him. In suing for divorce
she attached $1,000 of his money In
Clark's bank and obtained It. She also
possessed the furniture in the board
ing house which he had helped to buy.
He was very close, and seemed discon-
solate In losing his money. Papers
found on him indicate that he has sew
eral thousand dollars in banks in Ger
many and also stock In a loan
association. He had expected money
from Germany, but II did not come
and he had nothing on hand at the
time of his suicide.
Humm left brothers at Fort Miers,
Va. and in st. Louis. both of whom
telegraphed to have the suicide buried
here. There is also brother. Franz
Humm. in Germany, but he had not yet
been heard from. The testimony at the
inquest showed that Humm had several
times talked of committing suicide and
that he also threatened to kill his d.
vorced wife and her sister. Mrs. See

w. NJ. weisse said he was on a hunt
ing and fishing trip with Humm last
summer and Humm frequently spoke
of suicide and wondered what would
be the easiest way to end his life. He
asked Weisse whether a bath with
chloroform poured in the water would
not make an easy death. He talked
suicide so much on the trip that Weisse
finally took his gun away from him as
precautionary measure. Humm's flu
neral will be held to-day. The burial
will be in Mount Moriah cemetery.
