into the air giant tarpon, measur-
ing, as we learned afterward, an even
seven feet. Up! up! he rose, until
the camera seemed to be pointed at
the zenith, and before the ratified
camera man could get his aim, the
silver king had turned gracefully in
the air and was plunging downward.
The captain swears that he saw,
swinging clear of the water, the rib
bon which marked twenty-five feet
on the line as it hung plumb down
from the tarpon.
Once I gave my own estimate of
the height of the jump to group of
friends, and after a glance at their
grieved expressions appealed to the
one of most experience on the coast
and with the tarpon. After single
moment of hesitation he remarked

IMPALED ON DEER'S ANTLERS.
In successful attempt to save Miss
Helen Bloch, daughter of a million
aire tobacco manufacturer of Wheel
ing, w. Va, from an enraged buck,
Frederick Hall, university student
and son of James K. Hall, postmaster
of Wheeling, was seriously wounded.
The deer charged on the couple re-
peatedly, and at last, unable to evade
it, Hall placed himself between the
animal and the girl. He was struck
in the side, and a prong on one of
the antlers went deep into his body.
Two men beat off the deer with
clubs when Hall was helpless on the
ground and Miss Bloch was without
protection. The young couple went
walking and entered the deer park
of John A. Howard. They were walk
ing along quietly when suddenly the
buck charged them. The girl
screamed, but Hall swung her clear,
and as the deer went past he at
tempted to carry her to the fence, 100
feet distant. But he was kept busy
sidestepping the deer with the girl
in his arms. So quick were the
charges that the youth was without
moment for rest, and soon he found
himself unable to eyade the buck.
Miss Bloch continued to scream, and
her cries were heard by two men
working on the estate.
They were just going through the
fence when the buck struck Hall,
driving him about ten feet. He was
unable to rise, but the girl struggled
to her feet and was standing par
alyzed by fear, with the deer ready
for another charge, when the men
came up. The buck promptly went
at them with lowered head, and one
of them knocked it down with blow
from a club on the head. Both men
then laid on heavily with their clubs
until the buck got up and raced off.
An operation was performed on young
Hall in his home, and it is believed he
will recover. Miss Bloch escaped with
only a nervous shock.-New York

STATUS OF SALOON CASE.
Injunction Suit Complaint Must BE
Amended or Dropped.

At circuit court session this morn
ing Judge S. A. Lowell. one of the
attorneys for the saloon men, brought
up the subject of the suit that was
filed by Anton Nolte and intimated
that the plaintiffs will file an amend
ed complaint soon.
As to the exact status of the Nolte
case there seems much doubt and
seemingly the saloon men. are more
or less at sea as to what course they
will pursue. Apparently their COM
plant as 1t now stands IS of no use
to them for the only thing prayed
for, an order restraining the county
court from issuing the prohibition
proclamation, was denied. This is the
opinion held by District Attorney
Phelps who regards that case as set
tied unless an amended complaint is
filed.
When interviewed today attorneys
for the saloon men seemed to be some
what in doubt as to what they will do.
But ii is understood a conference will
be held this evening and in all prob
ability a line of action agreed upon.
Should it be considered worth while
to carry their fight further an amend
ed complaint will be filed and Judge
Bean asked to set date for a trial
of the case upon its merits.

CHASES ROBBER ALL
OVER STATE OF OREGON
Man Wanted I'm Alaska for EmbeZzle-
ment Is Finally Run to Earth.

After a chase lasting four years
William Sanders. indicted at Nome,
Alaska, has been run to earth and is
now in Jail at Katella, Alaska,
The arrest is directly due to the ac-
tivity OF Joe Warren, former chief
of police in Spokane, who ran down
Sanders and has been hot on his trail
for months. Warren is now a special
agent for the federal government and
has the Alaska territory to cover.
"I got onto this man Sanders trail
number of months ago and located
him at Sumpter, Ore. / hurried there
for him and missed him by a few
days" stated Warren this morning
"Then came the chase. 1 followed
him to Baker City, The Dalles, Cas-
cade Locks, Portland, Seattle and fl
nally found he had struck back to
Alaska.
81 could not catch up with him in
the states, for about every time l
would get him located he would move
away and l had to hunt him again. He
was not aware, however, that | was
on his trail, but couldn't have lodged
me better had he tried to do so.
"The arrest is particularly crafty
ing in view of the fact that before I
took up the chase three other Off
GERS had been after him for several
years. He was indicted for embezzle-
ment at Nome by the federal grand
jury in 1904 and skipped out at once.
I have been expecting to hear of his
arrest as | wired the marshal at Cor
dova near Valdez to look out for him.
The marshal, acting under by in
structions, caught him at Katella. He
will be returned to Seattle, where /
will take him in charge and escor,
him back to Nome for trial. In spite
of the time elapsed the witnesses in
the case are still in Nome. do not
know the amount he Is charged with
embezzling, but 1t was enough to
make his capture worth while."-

The seriousness of the Umatilla
county land fraud cases was brought
vividly to mind in Portland Friday
night, when r. +. Porter, a former
resident of this city and onOe the
leading wood dealer OF Meacham,
was placed under arrest in Benton
county, his present home, and on fall
ure TO give bonds was Immediately
placed in the Multnomah county Jail
on a charge of conspiracy to defraud
the United States government out Of
valuable lands on the Blue noun
tains near Meacham.
Mr.. Porter is well known in this
city and for a number of years ham
died practically all of the wood ship
ped out of Meacham and was one
of the foremost dealers in fuel in
eastern oregon. That he was inti-
mately and directly connected with
the fraudulent acquisition of Umatilla
Indian lands is the belief of the fed
eral grand jury which has been in
session in Portland for the past two
weeks. Inc OItSon Ddlly JOuIlldl VI
Saturday says of Mr.. Porter's arrest:
Robert E Porter, formerly a we'll
known wood and timber dealer in
Umatilla county and against whom an
Indictment charging conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States government,
was returned, several days ago by the
federal grand jury, was brought to
Portland last night by a deputy Uni
ted States marshal and placed in the
Multnomah county jail.
Porter recently moved to Benton
county Severay weeks ago Mrs. Por-
ter was subpoenaed to appear before
/ the grand jury as a witness in the
Umatilla land fraud cases which were
being investigated. Porter was also
in the city at the time. Later Uni
! ted States Attorney John McCourt re-
quested him to appear as a witness
When he was wanted Porter wasn't
found. Later the indictment against
him was returned.

Through an unfortunate error in

that Mrs Kupers had been declared
insane, whereas the name that should
have been used was that of Mrs. Fred
