New York, Aug. 35.-Raymond D.
Tuttle, farmer of Lincoln Park,
N. j., was held up" by two high
waymen, and in consequence one of
them is poorer by gold watch and
$25, which Tuttle will hold as the
spoils. He was returning from Pat
erson when the two men leaped into
his wagon and commanded him to
disgorge the contents of his pockets.
Instead, the farmer struck one of the
men, knocking him over the dash
board, and the horses trampled on
him. As the animals continued to
speed along, Tuttle continued to fight
the other one. Within 100 yards of
his home he tore most of the high
wayman's clothes off and hurled him
into the road.
Later Tuttle searched the clothes
and In waistcoat pocket found the
money and watch. The later ia
worth $50.

OF
A Big THEFT
SUB.TREASURY MYSTERY CLEARS
Loss Of Sl75, 900 in Bills of Large De.
nomination Laid to Former
a Asserting Teller.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-The mystery
OF the theft OF $1,000 from the
United States Sub-Treasury a year
and half age, one of the largest
losses the Government has ever suf-
Tered In this manner, is believed to
nave been solved by the arrest of
George w. Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was an asserting teller
under Assistant Treasurer William
Boldenweck. Suspicion at the time
of the theft, February 20, 1907. rest
ed on him, but so plausible was his
story and so intense his apparent In
terest in discovering the real culprit
that interest ceased to center on him,
fitzgerald was discharged from
the Government employ for culpable
negligence in allowing such a theft
TO be consummated under his very
eyes. The money stolen had been
used and was tied in packages, some
Of which had been marked for de-
struction at Washington. Any Of
them would readily have passed any
where except for their large denomi-
nations, None Of the bills was under
$500, and some were of $4,000 and
$4,000 denominations, the $4,000
ones predominating.
When Fitzgerald was discharged
he declared he was worth but $1,000,
but recently he has been investing In
valuable real estate and speculating
heavily In eggs.

Circus men are supposed to be great
FOUNDERS and some people imagine
that they never sleep at all. Circus
men, and circus women, too, are
much the same as other persons, says
the Oregon journal.
Over at the Oregon hotel Iast even
ing In room COB there was man In
bed coon after o'clock. And he was
circus man. He was Jay Rial, press
agent for Barnum & Bailey.
Jay Rial is the man who is coming
to Portland when the circus season
closes and buy farm where he in
tends to live life of ease and forget
all about the rumble OF the circus wa.
gon wheels and all of the ohtel fascin-
Ing things of the circus busines. Mr..
Rial leaves this morning early for
Centralia, Wash, 10 spend the day
with the CIRCUS, among bis friends.
tuesday he swill return to Portland
with the big show.
Mr.. Rial is undecided as yet wheth-
er he will buy a farm in the Hood
River country or go south and locate
in the vicinity of Medford. But he
Is coming to Oregon, he says, sure,
and In years to come will be In Port
land once every year when there is
circus In town and for that one day
he will forget the farm and his COWS
and hogs and chickens and mingle
with the show folks and talk shop to
his hearts content.

Three Steamers VIII Ply on Snake.


Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 25.-Ar-
rangements have been made for the
resumption Of the steamboat service
Oh the Snake river between RiparIa
and Lewiston. 1t is announced that
the Lewiston and Spokane will again
be placed on the run and another
steamer, probably the Mountain Gem.
will be added to the fleet. The origi
nal purpose Of the o. r. & N. Com
pany was not to place the boats In
service before October, and 1t was
also the view that the two boats OF
the company could handle the bust
ness. The change of plans is due to
the fact that the results of the har-
vest have shown that the service of
three boats will be necessary to han
die the grain crop that is pillng into
the warehouses Another influence
on the decision to begin the service
at an early date Is the fact that much
OF the grain already in the ware
houses has been sold, while in past
years the selling season came later
and there was no demand for early
shipping facilities. The prevailing
high prices have brought the present
condition about
About S5 per cent of the crep is
marketed on the south side of the
Snake river and above Lewiston, so
can only be reached by the boats,
since the new railroad follows the
north bank.
