Mrs. n0nphertY WILL RECOVER.

Hood River was stirred by mystefy-
ing sensation, Tuesday afternoon, and
it appears now that the young man who
helped to furnish it has been the victim
Of very hard luck Without friends or
aequaintances and with hardly dollar
to his name, Charles E, Doueherty,
an advertising man OF the Portland
Evening Telegram, lay in cell in the
city Jail, while his wife was reported dy-
ing in the boarding house at the cor
ner of Third and River streets.
The young mans wife, the woman
who has been employed in shooting
gallery down the street, was taken vio-
lently i'll about noon, Tuesday, and the
attending physician could make no ex-
planation OF her condition. Electric
batteries were being applied to keep the
woman's heart-beats going.
The situation was most mystefying,
with a sensational climax when the
young man was arrested as he started
for Portland on tie afternoon train.
Late at night Officer 0linger took the
young man to the side OF his sick and
unconscious wife, and Wednesday
morning the young woman was reported
to be better, with fair chance for hel
recovery.
A Glacier reporter in company with
Mr.. Averell OF the Portland Journal,
talked with Mr.. Daugherty while in his
cell Tuesday night, and after listening
ing to his straightforward story, his
statements being borne out by evidence
gathered elsewhere, were convinced
that no serious charges could be pre-
ierred against the young man, and that
he was the victim of circumstances OF
most peculiar nature. Mr.. Dougherty
was asked il there was any one to whom
he wished TO communicate the facts
and he prepared telegram which was
sent to his wife's mother, Mrs. Rhoda
Miller, at Kent, Wash, telling her
that her daughter was dying.
According TO the young mans story,
he was married at Vancouver, Wash,
May ., 1901. Their life had been hap
py until a few months ago money be-
came scarce with them and she deter.
mined to earn some for herself. She
came to Hood River and secured a posi-
tion in shooting gallery, much against
the wishes OF her husband. She went
by the name of Miss Jean Doherty
while here, and when her husband came
up from Portland week ago Sunday,
she persisted against his wishes in in
Producing him as friend of hers named
Arnold.
Doherty worried over his wife, and
hearing reports oi her associations
with local bartender, Al Scott, he
came up Monday night. He was with
his wife until IL O'Clock that night, try
ing to persuade her TO return with him
TO Portland. She refused and quarrel
followed in which it is said he threat
ened the woman, This is one Of the

reasons the officers sought to restrain
the man from leaving town Tuesday
afternoon.
Doherty explained that Mr.. Southern,
the landlord had inquired of him who
would pay the girls hoard bill, and that
as she was dying he should go to Port
land and see after the funeral arrange
ments. Not being permitted to see his
wife, and being practically without
money, and not knowing a single soul
in town to whom he could appeal for
brotherly assistance, he concluded there
was nothing else he could do but to 60
to Portland where he could find friends
ard aid
Wednesday morning, Mr.. Doherty
received word from his wife's mother
saying she was ON her way here. He
also received word from his paper, the
Evening Telegram.
The W. C. I. U. has been appealed
to to assist the young woman in secur-
ing proper medical attendance.

Mondays election was a glorious vic
tory. In Wasco county every candidate
on the ticket was elected, something
that has not happened in years, il it
ever did. The handsome vote given j..
A. Collier for circuit judge, il compli-
ment to the young attorney from Wheel
er county. The republicans elected
their men because they had put up the
best citizens of the county to serve them
as public servants. While Il disconcert-
ed element reduced the vote for Mr..
Wheadon, his election Is a victory for
clean politics in Wasco county. Hood
River rejoices with the rest Of WascO
county in the grand victory for the par
ty and the people are gratifed to know
they have nobly maintained their repu-
tation that this is the banner republi-
can section in Wasco county.

Big Republican Victory.

Hood River rolled up her usual big
republican majority in Mondays cleo
tion. II was a quiet election, the vote
falling short Of the registration, although
a hundred or more votes were sworn in,
the voters having failed to register.

and county judge The result was most
decisive. In the four Hood River pre-
cincts, East, West, South and Baldwin,

Lake secured 567. Benefits vote in
the four precincts was 206, while
Whealdon's footed up to I20, ] ad Of

Bulk of Crop Not Yet Gone.

"The weather has been cool, causing
the berries to ripen slowly, and 1t is
not likely that the bulk of the berry
crop will have been moved until next
Monday, and perhaps not then," says
f., IL. Shepard, of the Hood River Fruit
Growers union. "The berries, be,
lieve, never were better in quality, and
prices are very fair. We kept the price
at 81 crate five days longer this year
than last, Notwithstanding the fact that
we had a large crop to compete with in

"The first strawberry train out of
Hood River left here Monday night
