Booth Acquired One.


Booth Acquired One
r,o older Booth acquired a skull FOL
nse IN "IIamlet" in an ODD manner NC
cording to a story In Seen ana He'ru'
rho trnreliarl, somewhat In his cups
was travelling near Louisville Whei' Nc
took horse from field and rode OH
with it. Horse stealing at that time
was capital offense in Kentucky anu
the greatest horse thief was man
named FOntaine. Booth was soon over
taken and when asked where ne sot
the animal said:
81 captured him in Held oack
here"
"Indeed!" said one Of the farmers
Sand what might your name be"
my name is Fontaine," said Booth
without smile.
"Fontaine" calculated both men ST.
multaneously. "Then you are the very
man we want. Come back to town
with us"
"Certainly,' said Booth in the most
GOOD natured manner, and, wheeling
his horse lie TOue paCh " AooS''"
with his captors.
The city Jail was then in charge OF q
Colonel Thomas, who knew Booth
well. I'VE have brought you Fontaine,
the horse thief, and claim the reward,
said the farmers proudly, addressing
the jailer.
Where Is he?' they were asked.
Booth was produced. "Why, what
does this mean, Mr.. BoothT asked
Thomas.
~ haven't the slightest idea." said
the great tragedian, with the utmost
simplicity. II met these two men with
this horse, aud they insisted upon CIV

think one of them Is Fontaine."
The rustics were about to be locked
up when by the most singular coin
cidence man rushed to the prison
door on horseback and shouted out
the information that the real Fontaine
had been taken into custody. Booth
made Fontaine's acquaintance in jail,
and the horse thief, who was executed
later, left by will his skull to the actor.

encouraging. Fishing operations there
have been failure thus far. and there
is no prospect OF an increase. The
season Will soon end. From Puget

ceived from other points, and ii IL
evident that the entire pack Of fall fsh

OPPOSES COURTHOUSE
AT PRESENT TIME.
Leading Taxpayer Believes Surplus
Monsy Should he Used In
Building Roads.

An Astorian representative yester-
day called IN another heavy property
owner and asked him his opinion con-
cernlng the courthouse-cit hail pro.
posal The gentleman In question
represents property interests that con-
tribute abou. one-twenty-second part
Of the total taxes Of the county. Said
he:
Il am opposed 10 the building OF a
courthouse 1T this time, and hope that
the plan for. Its construction will fail.
I agree that the county needs new
seat OF government, and bei'sve joint
courthouse and city hall would be a
good thing, and I also coincide with
the sentiment that. when new build
ing is erect ID, IL should cost fully $780,
900. An Improvement OF this kind
should be of permanent nature.
But 1t Is ny opinion that we do not
need courthouse as much as we need
good roads: and for that reason ] am
IN favor. at this time. or building the
Lewis and Clark bridge, 20 as TO open
up the West Side farming district. This
bridge Will cost abo 1t $4,000 and win
necessitate levy Of about mills.
The building Of the Young's bay bridge
was intended to open up the farming
district Of the county, and the objects
sought to be attained will not be real
lied unless we build roads to the Sec
tions which must reach town by way
OF that bridge.
Now, 1t is contended that Clatsop
does not require roads, for the reason
that little farming IS carried on hei
l take different view Of the matter.
TO my mind Il is clear that the build
ing OF roads will increase the num-
bcr Of farmers and that without good
highways we cannot expect the agri
cultural development that is necessary
TO build up 'ha city. My contention
Is that a new courthouse at this time
would not bring direct results, whereas
some direct benefit will he derived from
road improvements.
"The petition now in circulation for
the building OF the Lewis and Clark
bridge has been signed by nearly all
the principal taxpayers of the city. /
believe that the men who pay the taxes
should have something to say about
improvements. and that their wishes
shonld be respected. If the property
owners want a new courthouse. II
should be built. II they want bridge
across the Lewis and Clark, the county
court should see that it is construct
ed.
"I am free to acknowledge that our
public buildings are disgrace to the |
community, but II seams to me We
should not undertake any improve
ments along this line Until the city be-
gins to go ahead. The present struc- |
lures viii do very we'll for few years.
and IN the meantime, pending rapid |
growth Of the city, we should put our
surplus money into highways that will |
tap the rich surrounding country.
Personally, / would favor inaction |
rather than the construction of a new |
building at this time"
