CRAFT IS
STRANDED ON STREET
AND TOWED TO CELL

An old German, giving his name as
W. Madison, was arrested right opposite
the police station, on Chemeketa
street, yesterday afternoon by Officer
Welch. Madison was so intoxicated
that he experienced great difficulty in
navigating the narrow sidewalk on the
north side Of the thoroughfare He
first luffed when the curb hove in sight
on one side and then he tackled over to
the other port when the hedge on the
other side came too near him. Finally
the booze-laden human craft attempted
to port alongside a little fir tree on the
lawn in front Of the L. G. Bligh house,
with the result that he lost his bearings
and ran ashore
It was then that Officer Welch an
swered the s. o. s., and towed the
stranded man.craft inside a steel-bound
cove, where storms never frequent, but
where headaches abound.
Madison had an improvised drug
store aboard, and when he was searched
by the police, pills, powders and about
every kind Of medicine were unloaded.
The officers tried to induce the man to
tell where he secured his cargo but
Madison simply advised them to mind
their own business they did.
Judge Elgin this morning proved
merciful. Madison was allowed to leave
after depositing $3 with the court, and
