Robbed The Scow

After returning from fishing trip
Of several days, John Erickson re-
turned to his scow at Schmidt's Cold
Storage dock early yesterday morn
ing and found that someone had
broken one OF the windows and stol-
en- a suit of clothes and about three
dollars in money. The suit, which
was a new one, belonged to friend
of Erickson's by the name OF Andrew
Anderson, who had it in Erickson,s
scow for safe keeping. A man by
the name Of Johnson who several
weeks ago was boatpuller for Erick-
son is accused OF the theft, as it is
claimed he was the only man that
knew about the clothes. A pipe was
found in the house boat that, It IS
said, was at once recognized by
Erickson as belonging to Johnson, IT
is impossible to tell just what time
the robbery took place, and as john
son has not been seen for several
days, it is though that he has already
skipped this part OF the country. The
police have been notified and are
furnished with sample of the cloth
that the suit was made out OF, and
as the cloth is of an unusual pattern
| it will be easily recognized in case
the thief sold it to anybody in this
| city.

Timmons is not drinking man
and apparently has lead an orderly
life. The cause of his mental break
down could not be traced with any
degree Of exactness yesterday. He
talked freely, but more or less inco-
herently, and kept asserting that he
was being watched and followed. Foi
the preceding two nights, he averred
the police had been watching him a

fact the police had paid no attention
to him in any way and knew nothing
of the mental affection that was grow
ing on him. Recently Timmons tool

messages to have him arrested upor
his arrival in the California metrop
oils. As is very common in menta
arrangements, Timmon's dement's
also takes a religious turn.

An undertaking that seems OF more
than passing interests is the estab-

to be published by the engineering
students of the Oregon Agriculture
college at Corvallis. The first num-
Der OF the journal, issued in magazine
form, has reached The Astorian, and
is we'll printed and highly creditable
to the young men behind it. The OBJ
ject Is the issuance Of q monthly

matters and to the work done by
