PORTLAND, Or. Sept. George H.

quartermaster's office at Portland. had
the strange experience on Sunday of
waiting in the office of local undertak-
ing establishment while his wife sat in
the adjoining room making arrange
ments for his obsequies- Mrs. Conradt
selected a coffin for her husband. tell
ing the undertaken that it was wanted
for relative who was near death.
Since then Mrs. Conradt has made at
tempts on her husbands life and the in
cident at the undertaker's was not
known until today. Last night Mrs.
Conradt attempted to kill her husband
in the lodging house where they reside.
She wounded him in the arm with re-
volver and would have ended his life
had he not succeeded in reaching a
nearby room and barring the door.
few nights previous Mrs. Conradt
had cut her husband in the face with a
razor while he was sleeping. She was
today taken before the County Judge

After the wedding the bride and
groom entered a carriage, ostensibly to
go to the station, but in reality to drive
to their nice little cottage on East
Jackson street. The friends went to
the station and anxiously waited, but
no bride and groom appeared. and after
a while word was received that they
had boarded the train at the crossing in
West Mexico. Another report was that
they had gone to their cottage. and
there the crowd went, intending to
charivari them in proper style, but the
trusty groomsmen kept Mr.. and Mrs.
Nelson posted and they went to the jail
while their friends waited at the house
until nearly morning. 1t was not until
today that the whereabouts of the new
ly married couple on the night of the
wedding leaked out.

Deserted in the first moment of dan

James of 715 Shotwell street was held
up. searched and then beaten into in
sensibility by two men on Front street
late Wednesday night
James had just returned from Oak
land and was going across Front street
when he met casual acquaintance in
the person of a watchman who guards
the property of a warehouse firm on
Front street. The two men were pro-
ceeding across town together when, be-
tween Clay and jackson streets. they
were approached from behind by two
men, who commanded them to hold
up; The robbers had no sooner or
dered them to stand when the watch
man took to his heels. leaving James
to fight his own battle. The victim
tells the story as follows:
when I heard the command to hold
up and saw my companion run away
realized that If I wished to escape !

though I did not have any money with
mo did not relish the idea OF being
held up and decided to fight. I struck
one of the men who had come around
in front to search me. and as did Sc
the man in the rear hit me on the
head with an instrument of some kind
and lost consciousness.
When I recovered my senses was
lying on the opposite side of the street
from where had been held up and my
pockets were turned inside out I was
at first inclined to believe that the
watchman who deserted me was an ac-
coinpiice of the men, but / am now
convinced that he was SIMPLY scared
He showed me a revolver and clus
on the way across town and can ses

James did not report the matter tc
the police, explaining that, as the mer
did not get anything from him, he die
not think the matter worthy of atten-
ton. He said that he met the watch
man several times before in travelling
employment and that he was satisfied
that the watchman had nothing to dc
with the attack.
James described one OF the robbers
as being short and of medium build
and dressed In overalls and a jumper

SFEClAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. For three
weeks number of the most prominent
Americans in Spanish Honduras with
loaded rifies have been standing guard
sulate in Ceiba, according to advices re-
ceived here tonight from returning
Americans.
DR.. Robinson. representative of the
United States Marine Hospital Corps,
gave a diagnosis of a number of sus-
picious cases of fever which was un-
satisfactory to the residents of the
country and which resulted in the
quarantine restrictions being SO tight
ened that 1T was almost an impossi-
bility to leave the city
DR.. Reynolds, the acting Consul. has
taken a strong stand in the matter
and after laying in ammunition an
nounced that If more than five men at
one time attempted to pass the con-
sulate they would be fired upon.
1t is said the trouble was brought
about through DR.. Robinson's refusing
I
Vaccaro of the vaccaro line of New
Orleans clean bill of health. He de-
clared on the ships papers that there
existed three cases of suspicious fever,
which he subsequently diagnosed as
yellow fever.
The Government oficials and other
natives threatened to kill Dr. Robinson
If he did not change his diagnosis.
The native Board of Health pronounced
the cases malaria and denounced him
for running ceiba's commercial reIa-
tions with the United States Mr.
Woods. the American Consul, at Ceiba,
is at Washington on his vacation and
DR.: Robinson appealed to DR.. Reynolds,
the Acting Consul. for protection. The
latter communicated with the COM
mandant, who sarcastically informed
DR.. Reynolds that he could not guar
antee that DR.. Robinson would not
be attacked by the natives, who pub
licly announced their intention OF
lynchins the American physician.
The relations between the Americans.
headed by DR.. Reynolds and the natives
under the leadership of the command
ant were strained and both were about
to declare war against each other DR..
Reynolds appealed to the Americans
living at Ceiba to assemble in the con-
sulate. Every one responded with his
rifle
Several thousand rounds of ammuni-
tion were quickly stored in the consul
ate. and everything made ready to re-
sist an attack. The Americans took
turns in patrolling the consulate, and
when their time expired went home
heavily armed The wives of the
Anne eicans were also armed and given
positive instructions to shoot at the
first provocation.
DR.. Reynolds informed the State De-
partment at Washington of the condi-
tions at Ceiba. The Honduras Govern
ment asked at once his recall on the
ground that the Ceiba officials could
not protect him and a curt note was
sent to President Bonilla, informing
him that the United States would hold
his Government responsible for DR..
Reynolds life.
