Seaside Electric Road

Although nothing definite has been
heard from Mr.. Evans who went east
over month ago to finance the
building Of an electric road, from
Astoria to Seaside, it is expected that
he will return to Astoria the last Of
next week. The ordinance granting
the franchise and its acceptance be-
sides depositing $1,000 with the audi
tor and police judge expires on June
4. Mr.. Evans was given 80 days in
which to complete arrangements, but
the time has expired. At meeting
OF the directors il was decided to
give him an opportunity and it was
understood that the time was extend
ed to May Is. In the event he is un-
successful it is stated other parties
are in the field for the franchise, but
as they only represent eastern syndi-
Gates, a delay Of probably 90 days
will be caused, in which event, it is
doubtful if work will be commenced
before next fall. If then.

BOLD NIGHT PRoWLER AND
THIEF HAS NORTH SHORE
PEOPLE AGoG.

The usually quiet town Of Knapp
ton IS now somewhat excited on ac-
count Of the nightly visits Of some
intruder who makes a speciality Of
stealing food from the various
houses. The residence Of Capt A. l..
Crockett had been entered four times
and eatabIes taken each time, how'
ever only the things already prepar.
ed being taken.
The deputy sheriff Of Pacific
county, Mr.. Ike Belknap, was in
formed OF this, and after watching
the house for two nights, he was re-
warded BY seeing the nightly visitor
enter the pantry as usual, and when
Mr.. Belknap called on the prowler
TO halt he broke and ran Mr.. Belk-
nap tried to halt him by firing his
pistol in the air, but when he saw
/ that would do no good, he took aim
az the fellows legs and fred Since
he stumbled and fell, Mr.. Belknap is
.of the opinion that he was hit. but
he managed to escape 10 the woods,
and although a searching party COM
posed Of Knappton's most fearless
secured the woods all day. nothing
further has been seen Of him.
II is the general opinion that the
maraudcr is either a crazy man, OF
else some criminal waiting for the
ship Dundee to be loaded, and stow
away on her.
A strange feature Of the case j;
that he always comes around-at
o'clock in the morning, and pays I
visit to the same pantries, his only
object, il seems, being to get food
