GRAND JURY RETURNS
TWO TRUE BILLS
ONE is AGAINST CHARLES

ing the grand jury filed into the court
room, where Judge Mcbride was
waiting in expectation of their com.

sisted of two true bills returned
against Charles Bertleson, proprietor
Of the Warwick saloon on CONNER
cial street, and Emil Jansen, the
Belgian who cut and slashed several
!lindus in street brawl on August
10th.
The true bills against Bertleson
and Jansen are not unexpected. Mr.,
Bertleson is charged with having
pointed aloaded pistol at Police OH
Ger Emslie Houghton. The officer
had gone into the saloon to investi'
gate the presence there OF woman
whom he had seen enter the place,
and, finding her sitting in wine

bar and pointed il AT the officer Ac-
cording TO the accounts OF the matter

SEASIDE FARMER IS
SHOT AND KILLED
DEATH OF ALBERT OLSON
MAY PROVE TO BE MUIR
DER, OR AN ACCIDENT.

Albert Olson, farmer residing in
the Seaside district, was shot and
killed some time Tuesday, presumab-
lyS by a man whose name is not yet
known. The Staying is presumed TO
have been accidental, though up TO a
late hour last night the actual facts
in the matter were not known either
at Seaside or in this city.
The information OF the death was
first heard here when a message was
sent to Coroner Gilbaugh yesterday
morning. telling him OF the death Of
Olson and asking him to go there at
once and make an investigation Mr.
Gilbaugh started for the scene Of
the death Immediately and il is pos
siblc that he may not get back TO
Astoria before this morning.
From all accounts that could be as
certained by The Astorian last night
Olson had been working near the
Necanicum school house, and Tues-
day he started out hunting in COM
pany with man who is called the
FFenchman and whose name is not
known as yet 1t is presumed that
the Frenchman, who was apparently
walking behind Olson, suffered some
accident, whereby his gun was dis
charged, the contents striking Olson
and killing him.
In a telephone conversation with
Frank Scott Of Seaside last night
very little could be learned Of th
matter beyond the facts that Olson
Is dead and that he was in company
Of the Frcnch hman at the time OF the
tragedy Mr. Scott said that the
Frenchman has not been seen since
and that he is out in the mountains
OF course the fact that the French
man has virtually disappeared may
indicate murder, instead OF an acci.
dent, or on the other hand, his abb
sence may be explained on the
ground OF sudden fright over the
terrible matter, and the fear that he
might not be able to explain jus
how the affair occurred in a satisfac'
tory manner
That Coroner Gilbaugh will make a
thorough investigation Of the afai
may be taken as an assured fact, and
doubtless upon his return to the city
the matter will be cleared up. Il i
understood the affair occurred before
they had reached the grounds where
they intended to hunt

SOME MYSTERY OVER

from the ship Donna Francesca on
the opening day OF the recent Re
gatta. Criticism had been made OF
the Regatta committee because the
body was left TO lie in the sand
and finally to be buried by the mem
bcrs OF the life. saving crew
From all we could learn" said
Mayor Wise las, night, "the body
was not that Of Sullivan. Personally.
| had never seen the young man and
even knew nothing Of him havin
been retained to make his high dive.
But Mr. Staples and those who knew
him, and were with him but mo
ment before he aseended into the
rigging OF the Donna Francesca to
make his perilous dive, knew
how he was attired,
"Ilis attire consisted OF blue Jcr-
sey sweater, with no lettering on IL,
and with pair OF blue regulation
sailor trousers with wide bottoms.
Around his waist he had tied a green
sash, or belt tied tightly"
When the body was found the life
saving station tclephoned to Mayor
Wise, who asked for a description
Last night Mayor Wise said that the
description given him Of the body
found bore little or no resemblance
TO that Of Sullivan For one example,
it had on a pair Of green jeans, or
overalls.
Feeling satisfied that therefor il
was not the body Of Sullivan, moth
ing more was done, Especially were
the members Of the Regatta commit
tee satisfied that il was not the body
Of Sullivan, inasmuch as Sullivan is
said to have not worn any lettering
on his sweater. On the breast OF
the drowned body we're the letters
A. A. R. Such is Mayor Wise's state
ment.
Perhaps a better understanding of
the whole matter may be had II the
members OF the life saving crew will
now give good description Of the
drowned body and the clothes the
man had worn. Mayor Wise says
he makes this statement at this some
what late day because he has been
out Of the city since the time Of the
published criticism in the Astorian Of
the presumed lack Of decent atten-
ton on the part Of the Astoria Re-
gatta committee.

The British ship Wynnstay, Cap
tain Thomas Williams, crossed in
from Valparaiso, yesterday, after a
quick passage Of 90 days. She is in
ballast and will load grain out from
the Portland Flour Mills for EuIop-
can delivery. Captain Williams re
ports that he made Cape. Mears in
exactly IS days, and has been the
rest OF the time making 1t to the
mouth OF the Columbia. The
Wynnstay is counted one of the fast
est of the British bottoms now afoat,
and this is proven by the fact that
she left Callao, Peru, on the l4th OF
March last for Newcastle, Australia,
where she discharged ballast and
loaded coal for Valparaiso, discharg-
ing there and taking on ballast for
this river, all in 1893 days. He also
reports that when the Wynnstay
broached the tropics on this voyage
he ran into one of the worst hurri-
canes he ever experienced in all his
career at sea, and in which he lost
full suit Of sails, everything going
from the bolt ropes in rags and
streamers; he had to bend everything
anew after the 48 hour session 0
the tremendous gale, but the tight
little ship weathered it handsomely
and with new suit Of canvas made
things hum all the way to Mears.
