NEGREs ROBBERS RAMPANT
Pittsburg Is in Throes Of HoIdup Epi-
demic-Young Girl Saves Fathers
Cash.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 21.-Another day
of holdups and robberies in Pittsburg
and surrounding towns has passed, and
it has been more sensational than eth
er of the preceding two. Negresses
of the city have taken to the streets
and are holding up men at the points
of revolvers and robbing them. Many
of these robberies are reported, but
in most cases the men robbed do not
care to risk prosecution.
There was uncovered here this aft
ernoOn another story of fearful bur-
glary and assault which the police
have been jealousy guarding since
last Monday. I comes out that Mrs
Alex Swick of 511O Gloster street, was
attacked at her home last Monday
morning and she is in a serious con-
dition. Her house was robbed ana
she was beaten unconscious, and was
not able to call for help. The bur-
glar cnoked Mrs. Swick in bed fore
ing her to rise and at the point OF
a. revolver lead him to the CUPBOARD
where she kept her money. She was
choked and beaten again and thrown
into bed, threatened with death If she
made an cutlery for an hour.
Miss Elizabeth Munhall of Braddock
a Pittsburg suburb, is the heroine OF
the Monongehala valley as she at an
early hour yesterday morning helo
burglars at bay with her revolver also
saving the money which was in the
safe of her father down stairs.
There was a battle with burglars at
HAYS, a few miles outside of Pittsburg
about daybreak when Chief OF Ponce
Schootin and ]. P. Dougherty OF the
Mansion hotel, chased two burglars in
to the country.

GOV. MEAD HAS SUGGESTION
Would Move Board Of Control
From Olympia
FAIORS SOME STATE INSTITUTION
EXECUTIVE POINTS OUT CHANGE
WOULD FACILITATE HANDL-
ING STATES AFFAIRS.
FAToRs SOME STATE INSTITUTION

The removal of the office of the state
board of control from Olympia to one
of the state institutions, possibly the
Western Washington hospital for the
insane, is recommended by Governor
Mead as one of the immediate remedies
for providing for more room in the
state capitol building, says dispatch
from Olympia.
The board of control now occupies
the the rooms in the basement of the
capitol formerly occupied by the state
land commissioner. If these quarters
are vacated by the board of control
they will be occupied by the state rail-
way commission and probably the tax
commission, which now have temporary
quarters in the committee-rooms off
the house and senate chambers.
Definite Plans Not Settled.
Governor Mead has gone over the
building with Secretary Of State Mich
OILS, who is custodian of the capitol and
grounds, and, while no definite plans
have been agreed upon, it is practically
conceded that the board Of control
will be quartered at one Of the insti-
tutions.
1t is pointed out that the boards
business is entirely with the institu-
tions, and that it's headquarters here

DEER LEAPS INTO WAGON.
Hunting Story From Michigan is Best
of Season.

MENOMINEE, Mich, Nov. 21.-An
odd hunting experience is reported
from Charming. Several hunters were
driving to the hunting grounds in
a wagon. AS they passed along the
foot of a precipitous cliff they heard a
shot ring out, and were astonished a
few seconds later to have a fine buck
deer fall from the top Of the cliff
directly into their wagon.
1t seems that another hunter saw the
deer standing on the brink of the pre-
cipice land had fired at it. AS the bull
let hit the mark, the buck sprang out
from the cliff and then dropped straight
down.
There was some dispute as to which
party should have the spoils, but this
was later adjusted by satisfactory di-
vision.

PORTAGE BOSS IS ARRESTED
L. s. Cook is Charged With Misap
propriatins State Funds and Job
is Taken Away.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. al. S.
Cook, late superintendent of the port
age road, was arrested yesterday after
noon at The Dalles by deputy sheriff
on a warrant charging him with misap-
propriating state funds, requested by
State Land Agent Oswald West. Cook
Immediately gave bonds in the sum of
$500 and was allowed to go by District
Attorney Menefee until Saturday, when
his case will come up for preliminary
hearing at The Dalles.
S. A. Kozer, from the office of the
secretary of state, is still at Celilo
busily engaged in checking up the ac-
counts kept by Cook while he was
superintendent of the portage road. 1t
is not possible at this time to ascer-
tain the exact amount of his pecula-
tions owing to the peculiar methods
employed by Cook which destroyed the
evidence and leaves the state officials
only fragemntary facts upon which
to complete the shortage.
Charles E. Steelsmith, who for the
past few years has been the agent fol-
tn w. P. Fuller company at the Oak
street dock, has been appointed SUI
perintendent of the portage road and
has taken up his duties there. He will
