OF houses and flats now demand that
new locks be provided before they win
sign the lease They say that this has
been made necessary by the failure Of
old tenants to turn over the keys when
moving away. There is no telling into
whose hands these keys may fall. "A
crook is just as likely to get hold Of
them as an honest man. Many Of the
cobberies in flats and boarding houses
nowadays are attributed to the careless
distribution Of keys by old tenants. -

william Dawne of Yamhill
County Attacked Thespian
Under Mistaken Belief

William Dawue. Of Yamhill county.
and Charles Caulkius, leading man in
the Edison stock Company, had a
bloody fight yesterday afternoon on
state street in front Of Ladd & Bush g
hank. which resulted in both men be
ing severely bruised. but not seriously
injured.
Dawpe was on the warpath, looking
for man whom he said insulted his
wife in this city Saturday. When he
met Caulkins he thought he had locate
the culprit and proceeded to wade in
and endeavored TO wipe the thespian
of the map. Mr.. Caulkins parried the
enraeed mans blows for awhile, and
did not attempt to retaliste, until to-
ward the last he put in a few good
licks.
Bystanders soon stopped the fight,
anil Chief Of Police Cornelius arrested
the Yamhill county man, and took him
to the city hall He entered a plea OF
guilty of assault, and Recorder Moores
fined him -,
According to the story told by
Dawne. he and his wife were in Salem
SATURDAY, when a man accosted Mrs.
Dawne on the street about 4 O'Clock
and. so Dawne says, followed her and
her husband into a State street restau'
rant.
II was clearly a case Of mistaken
identity. as MrCaulkins was engaged
in matinee performance at the Edison
, theatre at the time Of the alleged in
suit Saturday, and at the time Dawne
said a man followed his wife into a
restaurant, NJ. Caulkins was eating
dinner with his own wife at the Cot
tage Hotel.
The scrap was witnessed yesterday
by hundred or more people, and had
not the combaiants been separated
when they were Dawne would have
probably received rough Treatment.

taken in the man, and has apologized
