Things were lively in Justice Amos
court yesterday afternoon. A drum.
mer got it into his head that he had
been robbed by another drummer at
the Tavern. A warrant was sworn out
and served on the alleged thief. 1t de-
yeloped that the entire outfit mad been
drinking. and when the officers de-
manded to know where the booze was
coming from it was stated that some
of 1t came from John Smiths place,
and that some came from Booher's
drug store. Booher and Smith were
each held in the sum Of five hundred
dollars for their appearance before
the next grand jury. The Marion Ho.
tel was Implicated in the whiskey bus

against the people at the Marion Jus.
tice Amos recognized the -drummers
this morning in the sum of one hun

yet held by the association was pulled
off Saturday night in McIsaac's hall at
Parkdale, when a full discussion by
members and visitors on the matters
mentioned took place.
II. B. Langille and f. T. Folts
promoters of the Valley Electric rail
road were present and spoke about the
proposed line and the progress which
was being made on it. They outlined
the situation and told the upper valley
people what would be necessary in
order to build the line in the near
future. G. d. Woodwork was present
at the meeting and offered to subscribe
$4,000 toward the building of the
new line in the upper valley.
Prof. G. ID. Thompson, president of
the Hood River Apple Growers Fellow
ship was guest at the meeting and
spoke to the live wires about the or
ganization of orchardists which will
procure an expert TO aid in the pro-
lection of the apple trees against
such pests as may attack them from
time to time. He explained the pur-
pose Of the organization and said
that it as probable an expert could be
secured to come to the valley and
begin his work by October /. The
upper valley people responded i'm
mediately and at the meeting about
200 acres of orchard was subscribed.
This represents only a portion of that
section, but c. f. Moody has under
taken to canvass the entire upper val
ley and an effort will be made to
have every acre of orchard represented
in the Fellowship.
Prof. Thompson also acted as q
representative of the Hood River Com
mercial Club and told the association
members of the new club quarters
which have been equipped IN town and
invited them to come down for the
opening of the new quarters which
will take place next Wednesday.
The new upper valley organization
will make an effort to put on the best
exhibition of apples from their section
at the coming apple fair which has
ever been brought in from that section.
The crop this year is larger than il
has ever been before and the quality
of the fruit is the very highest. II.
+. Babson made an especial appeal tC
the growers in that section TO save W
their best apples and bring them in foi
the apple fair. The size and colorinp
of the apples in the upper valley is
very fine this year and their showing
at the fair will no doubt be good one.

OAKLAND, April PA struggle in

John Martin Ernst, whose parents
eloped and were subsequently divorced,
was begun today. 1t promises to be
bitterly fought out between the boys
father on the one hand and his moth
er's parents on the other. Mrs Kath-
crime Ellen Ernst, the child's mother,
died few days ago
j. NJ. Yore and his wife, the baby's
grandparents, filed a petition for let
ters of guardianship today before Judge
Wells. They were opposed by John Nye
Ernst the child's father, who disputes
their right. and who says, furthermore
that he is prepared to show that the
4ores are not tit persons to be intrust-
ed with the boy. Judge Wells con-
tinued the hearing until May 5.
Ernst is the son of Mrs. Mary F.
Ernst, a wealthy milliner. He eloped
with Miss Yore and they were married

cruelty. She went back to live with
her parents last December. The court
awarded her the custody of the child

ESTUARY FLOATER
PARTLY IDENTIFIED
Body of Supposed Floater of
Murderers May Be That
of Andrew Larsen
Especial Dispatch to The Call

ALAMEDA. April 21.-The body of a
man found in the estuary several days
ago with the pockets of the clothing
hiied with rocks was partially identi-
ned tonight as that of Andrew Larsen,
an employe of the Selby smelling works,
Vallejo Junction. The Identification
was made by Larsen's wife, who lives
on ranch near San Jose She recog-
nlzed him from the filings in the front
teeth The body when found was in
an unrecognizable condition.
Larsen worked for many years at
the Selby smelter and was a trusted
employe.
Larsen was said to have had enemies
at Vallejo Junction, and when he dis
appeared it was feared that he had been
murdered. Detectives were called in
on the case, but their efforts to trace
him proved fruitless
Pieces of the clothing found on the
dead mans body have been sent to
the smelter works, where friends of
Larsen may be able to recognize them
as having been worn by him.
Acquaintances who visited the
morgue today took that course, not
being positive as to the identity of the
body.
