A man who is familiar with conditions
abroad In a general way said that If the
Russian situation became more serious 1t
would undoubtedly result in the selling Of
American securities to some extent. He
believed, however. that in due time addi-
tfonal trouble IN Russia would result in
further investments by Europeans in
American securities. the theory that
they were much safer than foreign securi-
ties.

In order to stimulate an interest in

MRS. STEELE COMMITTED.
State Hotel Landlady Declared to BE
of Unsound Mind.

Mrs. Grace Steele, who has been ia
charge of the State Hotel for a week
or more. has been adjudged insane
and will be taken to the asylum at
Salem. For a week past the State
landlady has been source of much
uneasiness to the police department
and many others here. She has Ia
bored under the impression that va
rious forces were in league against
her and that her life was in danger
Consequently she has made life a bur-
den for the chief of police.
Last evening the woman was ex-
amined for insanity by DIR. w. G. Cole
and upon his recommendation she was
committed to the asylum by Judge
Gililand this forenoon.

STABBED DURING \ FIGHT.
ARRAY Resulted From Cruel Neglec,
of Children.

The La Grande Observer gives the
following account of a disagreeable
affair that occurred in that place
Tuesday morning:
Because H. T. Pheps last evening,
about $50 tried to do a humane act,
he was knocked down and kicked in
the face. However, he is not the only
one to suffer, as before the fight was
over, Pheps' assailant was bleeding
from a knife wound in the arm.
II appears that John Evans,
rancher in this vicinity, has been
transacting business in the city, and
after getting ready to leave for home,
had gathered his little girls in
wagon. Before starting, however, he
had driven up to a saloon and leaving
the children in the vehicle, went into
the saloon to get a drink. 1t is as
serted that for three hours he re-
mained there while the little tots were
waiting outside.
Here It was that H. T. Pheps got in
trouble. Having seen the children
shivering in the cold, he took COM
passion on them and went into the
saloon. Stepping to Evans side he
inquired If those were his children on
the outside. Evans informed him
that they were and that he could take
care of them himself. Pheps held
that the man should cease drinking
and care for the cold and SUFFERING
children. This led to blows in which
Pheps, aged about 65, was knocked
down and kicked in the face. Mr..
Pheps gathered his scattered senses
and arose with a drawn knife. Quick
ly slashing at his opponent. he ad-
ministered an ugly cash in the right
arm. The knife caught Evans in the
large muscle of the arm, causing a
profuse flow Of blood. The wound is
dangerous one. Mr.. Pheps is nur-
sery man Of Boise, Idaho.
Papers are out for the arrest OF
Evans as soon as the wounds the mar

Another chapter in the story OF
Mrs. Mabel Warmers attempt to se-
cure possession of the estate of the
late James w. Young was started last
evening when attorneys for Mrs. War
ner filed suit in equity, wherein they
ask that the dead mans will be set
aside and all of the property given
their client.
The suit is brought against b. B.
Hall, administrator of Young estate,
Miss Nora Watts and other heirs of
the dead man. In the complaint Mrs.
Warner alleges that when her mother
and stepfather were divorced in 1891,
an agreement was made whereby Mrs.
Warner, then Mabel Young, was TO
continue to live with her stepfather,
who was also her uncle, and that he
would educate her and leave her his
property at his death. At that time
the plaintiff was 10 years of age and
attending school at st. Joseph's acad-
emy in this city.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff that
she conformed to the agreement made,
that until she became of age she was
under her stepfather's control, nursed
him in sickness and gave him the af-
fection OF a daughter.
The attorneys for Mrs. Warner are
Carter, Raley & Raley and Winter l.
Collier.
The amount involved in the Young
estate is valued at between $500
and $4,000. BY the terms of the first
will found and which is the only one
that has ever been filed for probate,
the dead man left land valued at ST.
600 or $4,000 to Miss Nora Watts. a
niece, while the remainder of the es-
tate not being bequeathed would fall
to the legal heirs, of which Mrs. War;
ner is not one.
a. D. Sullman and Judge 5. 4. Low
ell have been serving as attorneys for
B. B. Hall, administrator, and it is
probable that demurrer will be filed
shortly.
Both Mrs. Warner and her husband
are now under indictment in the fed,
eral court for forging a will, and they
are out on $3.50 bail each. pending
the trial, which will occur at the Oc-
tober term.
