nothing that would connect him with
the burglary of Miss Hart 5 residence
he was taken in by the nightwatch-

promised to send him away. She was
willing to pay his fare TO Portland

other things. AS this seemed to be
the only means of getting rid OF him
the officers allowed him to go on the
morning train today.

that much OF this meat is served on
the tables of cheap restaurants in Port
land and the patrons think they are
eating beef. Twenty years ago band
of horses like the one the Indians are
