CROCERS MAKE
FIRST MOVE

The first step in the enforcing of
the Sunday closing law was taken
yesterday, when Gustav Beutlich
swore out warrant for the arrest of
r. H. Armstrong, who conducts a
grocery store and fruit stand at the
corner of Twenty-first and South G.
streets. Armstrong appeared before
Judge Griffin this morning. The
judge was inclined to be lenient as
it was the first offense. and was will
ing that Mr.. Armstrong should be re-
leased on the payment of the costs
This Armstrong refused to agree to,
so fine of $25 and costs amounting
to 1888 was imposed. A commit
ment was issued this afternoon and
Armstrong will be taken to the coun-
ty Jail unless the fine, is paid at once.
The Retail Grocers' Protective as
ISOLATION, of which Mr.. Beutlich is
the representative, has declared war
on the stores which keep open on
Sunday, and it is said many other ar
rests will follow, i'm

M. K Anderson, chief engineer of
the dredger Pacific, met with a ter
rible accident today. His left arm
was crushed to a pulp in the cogs of
a wheel at noon. He was in the act
of oiling the machinery and had
passed his arm through the steel
stays in the friction gear, when one
of the men accidentally set the gear
in motion.
AndersOn's left arm was caught
just above the wrist and before the
machine was stopped the bones were
crushed. His right arm was also cut
and bruised, though it is thought the
hand can be saved.

who demanded a ransom from his wife
at Portales, N. M.
He was forced by the bandits to write
to his wife and sign the name of George
Reese and to misspell his name.
On the night of August 80 he made his
escape. He secured sharp rock and
cut the ropes that bound him, and left
while they slept. For four days he wan
dered through the mountains in search
of road and lived on berries, seeds,
rabbits and young birds and finally
reached a railroad at distance of 60
miles from where he started. He then
beat his way on lumber train to
Douglas, Ariz., and then went to Ell
Paso, Tex, where he borrowed money
on which to come to Portland.
