dlately took W haNo =
brought back communicated
with Secretary i ung OF Eugene
and the secretary's telegram fol
lowed.
Mr.. Welch has been promised the
monument would be here Wednes-
dav on the Lurline, and, satisfied
the gravestone win again be given
over to the custody Of the people
of Astoria, the chamber has per-
mitted the matter to rest. The
patriot, it decreed last night, shall
be nameless.
The chamber has decided to To-
cate the monument at once on the
spot of MeTavish's original grave
The grave was on the west side OF
the small stream which formerly
seeped out of the ground near the
corner of Sixteenth street and
Grand avenue, flowed down Tor
north on Sixteenth street and
triekled into the Columbia Just
south Of where Prael & Cook S
stable now stands. One of the
chroniclers states in his narrative
that McTavish was buried under
the northeastern bastion of Fort
Astoria" but as yet the chamber
is not in possession of enough def
mite information to positively de-
termine the location of the fort.
However, the location of Nc.
Tavish's grave is known, and the
monument will be properly located
on the property recently purchased
by the council as city hall site.
It's first location will be temporary.
/ When the city hall is built final
disposition will be made of it.
The McTavish monument is
much more valuable than the aver
age Astorian believes. McTavish
was the British agent in this part
of the country when the Astor
party settled here. Fort Astoria
| was built in 1911 and in 1914 was
turned over to the British. Nc
lavish, as governor of the country,
was given charge Of the fort. Soon
after he assumed charge the Brit
ish sloop-of-war Todd arrived and
proceeded up the north channel as
far as Knappton. She had sup
plies for the British, but her mas
ter would not cross the river. Nc.
lavish, with a crew Of six men
started across the river to inter.
view the captain of the Todd, &C
years ago this month, but a storm
| capsized the boat and six Of the
seven occupants were lost. The
bodies of McTavish and two OF
three of the boats crew were re
covered and buried just north Of
the present Shivley school. Judge
Bowlby explained at the Chamber
Of Commerce meeting last nigh
that the monument was the oldest
marking the grave Of any whit,
man west Of the Rocky mountains
and, therefore, Of very great value
historically.

The above dispatch was received
yesterday by yMayor Surprenantand
turned over to the Chamber OF

Welch submitted to the chamber all
of the correspondence which had
ensued since the chamber under
took to secure return of the monu-

grayestone is now closed incident
or will be when it is returned to
the city tomorrow.
Mr.. Welch declines to give out
the name of the man who removed
the gravestone from Hillside GENE
terry. He says the man is not a
resident of Astoria, as far as he
knows-and Mr.. Welch is pretty
well acquainted. He explains that
two Astorians called upon him and
promised that the monument would
be returned if the name of the
patriot who swiped it were not di.

W. M. Bray
For a Fortune
Commences Action Against N. J.
Kinney for $4,000 Because Of
Failure to Land Deal.

Asserting that by the failure OF
Marshall j. Kinney, the wealthy
salmon packer and timber Ia
agent, to carry out the terms OF an
agreement to purchase the capital
stock and property of the Southern
Oregon Company he has been dam
aged in the amount OF $4,000. vii
liam NJ. Bray filed suit to recover
that amount yesterday in the cir
cult court at Portland.
Bray alleges in teh complaint
that March Is, 1902, Kinne,
entered into an agreement wit
William Crapo and Prosper w
Smith, authorized agents of th'
Southern Oregon Company, owning
lands and improvements now
valued at 100000, to purchase II
capital stock and property foI
100000. OF this amount $500'
was paid down, thereby securing
three months option. Before thi
option expired Kinney announced
| his intention to purchase the prop
lerty.
Bray and Kinney formed a co
partnership for the purchase an
control Of the property in the mean
time, according to the complaint
and Bray paid his partner one-thir'
the amount he had given the agent
of the company to secure the op
ltion, with the understanding tina
he was to pay one-third the re
Imainder of the amount due. Bot
paid down 100000 August l, 1902
leaving remainder Of $685., ,00
due under the terms of the pun
chase agreement December Is c
that year.
1t is the contention of Bray tina
December Is, 1902, Kinney secure
an extension of time to Januar
| Is. Bray says he turned over hi
third, $182,048.61 to Crapo an
Smith, with the understanding ths
it was to be regarded as his shar
of the remainder OF the purcha,
price onl yin case Kinney shoul
pay ms part.
Other extensions of time were s.
cured by Bray, according to Il
complaint, and finally the repr
sentatives of the Southern 0regc
Company concluded Kinney WI
either not acting in good faith {
was unable to secure the none
and May II, 1903, declared Il
agreement Of purchase null an
void.
Bray recites that the property {
the company is now worth abol

himself and Kinney to secure it

live up to his agreement. He intir

and asks also for his costs and d
bursements in the action.

Mr.. Allen assumes the opposite
view from Attorney General Craw,

the law provided for closing Of tho
books on the night of the 18th, and
that the books could not, except by
act of the legislature, be kept open
after that date. His ruling was

The district attorney takes just
the other view. Practically all Of
Oregon's laws make provision for

has ruled on the matter, however
and that, where a date specified in a

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 13.-W. H.
Altman, postmaster at Baxter Fla,
brother of the Altmans implicated in
the stabbing affray on the Georgia,
Southern and Florida road yesterday
morning, came to Jacksonville this
morning and attempted to have the
federal authorities arrest w. M. Dun

assistant postmaster in the discharge
of his duties.
Altman claims that Duncan was
seen approaching his store, in which
the postofice is situated. carrying a
gun; that his brother Jesse shot him
in self-defense, and that there was no
fusilade from the postoffice.
The district attorney declined to pros
ecute.
The sheriff of Baker county is in
Baxter, but no arrests have been made.
The Altmans claim that the men killed
on the train were killed in Georgia. A

deed was done in Florida.

A peculiar situation exists. The

MAINE PLEASES PARKER.
Thinks II May FOreshadov other
Democratic Gains.


Esopus, N. r., Sept. 13.-Judge Par
ker expects to go to New York on
Thursday and to return on Friday.
No announcement has been made as
to the arrangements for the trip and
Judge Parker's reason for leaving
Rosemount was not known to-day. 1t
is understood that he will take apart
ments in some New York hotel and
confer with political friends.
For several days it has been rumored
that Judge Parker was planning a trip
to New York to call upon the members
of the national committee and other
managers of the campaign.
1t was said also that he might re-
main there and take a hand in the
running of the campaign, for the pur-
pose of bringing about more harmon
ious relations between the men at
headquarters, but 1t is believed here
that the candidate, instead of straight
ening out real or imaginary differen-
ces, has under consideration import
ant plans of campaigning intended to
change completely the working meth
DDS in some sections of the country.
Results OF the Maine election are
gratifying to .the Judge and his polit-
ical friends who visited Rosemount
to-day. Those who have talked with
him say he is greatly pleased at the

played there which may be expected to

DEMOCRATS LARGE GAIN.
They Made An Excellent Showing

Portland, Me-, Sept 1S.-Returns
from the small towns in distant parts
of the state to-day and a careful re-

places in 1900 gave Hill Republican, 70

publican gain over 1900 is now esti-
mated at per cent, the Democratic
gain at "a per cent.
Additional returns in the congress
sional districts have not altered the
result. all four Republican congress-
men being returned by pluralities rang
ing from 5000 to 7,0OO
Next years Senate will probably
stand twenty-seven Republicans and
four Democrats, as against twenty-nine
Republicans and one Democrat in the
last Legislature. 1t is estimated that
the next House will stand 121 Republi-
cans and thirty Democrats. The last
House stood 131 Republicans and TWEEN
ty Democrats.
The heaviest Democratic gains were
in Cumberland county. where the party
reelected Pennill as sheriff, a senator
and county commissioner.
Chairman Simpson of the Republican
State Committee telegraphed President
Roosevelt that the party had carried
the state by more than $4,000. Presi-
dent Roosevelt replied later in the day,
saying he was delighted with the re-
suit and congratulating Mr.. Simpson

Schooner. out of Brunswick, Lum-

New York, Sept. 13.-The steamer
Pathfinder arrived to-day from Norfolk
with the derelict British schooner
Theta in tow.
The Pathfinder picked the derelict
up at sea last Sunday near the Five
Fathom Bank lightship, while bound
from Norfolk for Boston, with a cargo
of coal. When she sighted the derelict
her sails were all set. She evidently
had been hastily abandoned, after be-
ing in collision with an unknown ves-
sci. The fate of her crew is unknown.
Her starboard quarter was stove in,
but otherwise the hull was in good
condition. She was leaking badly, but
was kept afioat by the cargo of hard
timber in her hold.
The Theta is a three -masted schoon-
er of 420 tons register. She left Bruns-
wick, Ga, on Sept. for Dorchester,
N. b., with a full cargo of lumber. She
is comparatively a new vessel, being
only three years old.

FIVE BOLD BANDITS
HELD UP A TRAIN.
Mounted Men and BIOodhounds Are
Now in Pursuit.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 13.-Five
bandits perpetrated a successful hold
up of a passenger train on the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, near
Let's, Ia, early this morning. The
statements of eXpressmen are that the
robbers secured no money, though the
safe was blown open and the contents
taken. the officers assert that the safe
contained merchandise of some value,
company papers in transit, etc, but no
money.
Three special trains, on one of which
are posses of railroad and express en-
ployes and a number of officers, were
rushed to the scene of the robbery i'm
mediately upon receipt of the news.
Mounted men with bloodhounds are
now securing the country for miles in
every direction in an effort to appre-
hend the robbers.
The robbery occurred at a place
known as Whisky Hollow" about six
miles out of Muscadine and near Fruit
land
cago and Kansas City train. The rob
berry was at the end of a sharp curve
and exactly where a similar hold-up
was engineered two years ago by the
late Marx, Neidermer and Van Dine,
the so-called Chicago "car barn ban
dts"
/ The engineer, as the train rounded
the curve, saw a red lantern on the
track and stopped the train. Imme-
diately the engine, express car and
baggage car were boarded by the rob-
bers, apparently five in number. A
fusilade Of shots were fired along the
sides of the train to prevent interfer-
ence by passengers. The messenger
of the express care was compelled to
open the door
The car safe was dynamited and the
contents taken, after which the en-
gine crew was compelled to return to
the passenger coaches. The engine
was then cut off and the robbers ran
it quickly through Let's and to within
two miles of Columbus Junction, where
it was left standing. The manner in
which the bandits handled the engine
convince the officers that some of the
robbers are experienced railroad men.

SUMMARY OF EVENTS.

There has been no renewal of
fighting on a large scale between
the Russian and Japanese armies
in the Far East.
At st. Petersburg the people are
harassed by rumors of impending
disaster to Gen. kuropatkin which
find ready credence because of the
lack of official information from
the generals headquarters at Muk-
den, and for the moment the popu-
larity of the head of the Russian
armies in the field is in eclipse.
In that capital, too. there Is
much uneasiness aslt lest the Jap
anese advance in Manchuria should
afford occasion for the growth OF
an anti-Russian spirit in China and
the ultimate projection of that
power into the conflict.
