BANK
MAY REOPEN
Persistent RumOr That the
Officials Will Succeed In
Rehabilitation

PORTLAND, Sept. "A rumor is
current that the Oregon Trust and
Savings bank will shortly be reopened
Tor business, says the Telegram. For
several days the story has been in
circulation that one of the largest
banks in the city would soon be es-
tabllshed in the quarters of the Ore
gon Trust and Savings, with w. H.
Moore as it's official head.
Officers of the suspended band re-
fuse to discuss the purport of these
rumors, but there is an atmosphere
about them and their actions which
would seem to indicate that there is
good news in store for the depositors
of the bank.
President Moore is active about the
city, and the same is the case with
Cashier Morris. Both, the rumor has
it, are engaged in a movement to re-
habilitate the suspended band and to
start II anew. That President Moore
will enjoy the fullest public confidence
in the local business world should he

predicted, in light of his offer to sac
rifice his private fortune to reimburse
the depositors of the insolvent bank.
President Moore is preparing to
turn over to the receiver by deed of
trust 5000 acres of farm land in
eastern Oregon and his local ware
house property. These properties, it
Is said, will aggregate fully $25O,000 in
value. The eastern oregon lands are
nearly all under wheat cultivation

RATHER SLEPT
ON HIS PILLOW

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. 2.-To
have d huge rattlesnake as a bedfel-
low without the reptile bury;ng it's
fangs in him was the experience Of
Arthur Ricard, homesteader in the
region between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills, in western South Da-
kota.
After an absence of several days,
Arthur and his brother Joseph return
ed to their claims near the little town
of Interior to remain on their home
steads for a time The next morning
Arthur awoke from his peaceful
slumbars and found himself gazing
straight into the beady eyes Of huge
rattleshake that was nesting snugly
on the pillow beside his head.
Mr. Snake apparently did not like
the lopk in his bedfellow's eyes, and
crowled across the young mans face
and oh down the sheet to the fright
ened mans knees and there coiled it
self. While the snake was moving
around, the young man, who did not
dare move a muscle for fear that the
next moment the fangs of the reptile
would strike him, did a fine stunt

SHOE P|NCHED
THE OTHER FOOT

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.--Judge Chetlain
has decided to grant Mrs. Laura Star
rette McAdoo-Triggs a divorce from
Prof oscar L. Triggs, the noted edu-
Gator, whose unorthodox views on
many subjects caused numerous sem
sations.
Triggs said, among other things,
that the genius of John d. Rockefeller
euualled that of Shakespeare. He
commented on the condition Of Chris
tianity and disclaimed belief in the
sacredness Of the marriage tie.
1t was his conduct in pursuance of
the latter theory which gave Mrs.
Triggs grounds for divorce. She filed
a petition and then went to Paris,
where she now is,
Minette Pagan, young student Of
striking beauty. who is described as
the professors physical affinity," is
the correspondent.
The testimony on which the divorce
was granted was given by Herman
Keuhn as follows.
4 entered Prof. Triggs' room and
found him sitting on a sofa disrobed.
Someone was lying on the sofa and a
small pink foot was protruding from
beneath the covers. 1t was too small
TO be a mans foot and was not a
Child's foot. The toes were. small and
pink. Prof Triggs started up sud
denly and l backed out of the room"
Mrs. Harriet c. Garner, matron of a
home where Triggs and Miss Pagan
boarded, testified that the young wo-
man told her she loved Triggs.
Trggs and his wife were married
January 5, 1889. Triggs graduated
rom the University of Minnesota
during the same year. He obtained a
position on a local newspaper, and is
SAID to have been discharged for COM
pairing society woman with we'll
ied COW. He returned to the Univer-
slty of Minnesota and afterward at
tended classes in the University of
enlcago, winning honors and degrees
az both institutions. He described
himself as an iconoclast, a poet, a
er'tc dramatist and "conventianal
parah He says he was forced to
resign from the faculty of the Uni
'ersity Of Chicago because he refused

had devoured the contents of a SAL
mon can, and the empty can was on
shelf just above his head. Watch
ing his opportunity, Ricard slowly and
cautiously raised his hand toward
the can, which he was able to reach
without arousing the anger of the
snake. Grasping the can firmly in his
hand, he again watched his oppor-
tunity and made a lightning like
lunge at the snake with the edges of
the can.
His aim proved true, the rough
edges of the can striking the snake
squarely below it's head and nearly
severing the head from the body.
Ricard then threw snake, sheet and
all upon the floor and finished the
work of killing the snake, which
measured three and one-half feet in
length. 1t had 10 rattles.
