one moment, a respected citizen,
with a life career before him, and,
five minutes later, a man with the
brand of Cain upon his forehead. If
you can, look at me, and you will see
such a man.
1.-TWO days ago 1 had dined at
Princess restaurant, in PiccadilIy. l
strolled up toward Hyde Park in the
evening, enjoying the summer air and
thinking of my future. l had used
life successfully; was becoming
known as a leader at the bar. Every
thing seemed Toseate. I had reached
Hyde Park before l was aware of it,
and entering, l seated myself upon a
chair. AS sat there, concealed by a
tree from passers by, a hanson
stopped. A man and woman in even
ing dress got out. The man was mad
with excitement; the woman was
calm.
''He was talking like a maniac,
threatening her, apparently. 1 could
not help overhearing what he said; to
have risen would have attracted his
attention and put the woman to
greater humiliation And it happened
too quickly for me to make up my
mind whether. to stay or go.
81 gathered that they were hus-
band and wife. He wanted her to
divorce him and she refused. She had
conscientious scruples, it seemed. He
was infatuated with another woman.
He pleaded, swore, ragged at her, US
ing language that no woman should
even know. And at last he took her
by the shoulder and struck her across
the mouth.
'You know how one acts in such
emergencies, without thinking.
Something seemed to snap inside my
brain. l sprang from my seat and
drove my fist into his face. He fell
back, striking a lamp-post with his
head, quivered a moment, and lay

Machine Thiefis
Sought by Police
Takes Motorcycle Belonging to Visitor
and Deserts 1t After Injury Is
Inflicted.

A queer stunt is being pulled off in
this city by an unknown young man,
who, it appears, has mania for riding
motorcycles. His latest operations
were reported to the police yesterday.
Stanley Brown, young lad from Ly.
ons, Ore, arrived here yesterday, and,
while he was in the act Of setting his
motorcycle up, preparatory to entering
the White House restaurant for some.
thing to eat, young man rode up on
a bicycle and asked Brown if he didn t
want to sell his machine. Brown said
he did not, and, after walking into the
restaurant, he heard his machine
sounding, and, rushing out, observed
the boy streaking down Liberty street
north.
Thinking the boy would return soon
from a short ride around the block,
Brown ate his dinner, and still his ma
chine was gone. With big tears in his
eyes he notified the police, and a
search was made. They found the gas
wheel shortly near the place where the
boy had taken it, and the gasoline
tank was empty, the two cranks badly
battered up and a mud guard injured.
In the meantime the police took charge
of the bicycle the boy had ridden up
to the motorcycle on, and will hold it
until the lad returns for it,
Not over a week ago, the same boy
unceremoniously took a motorcycle
which was standing in front of local
store, and rode it off. The police
found it a few hours later, and this
machine also bore signs of hard riding.
and the tank contained no gasoline.
Whether the boy is a speed fiend with
out money to buy himself a machine,
the police are unable to say, but he ev.
identity loves to joy ride, as Mr..
Browns machine is the second which
he has stolen and later returned.

Mill street people object to paying for
the repair of the botched Winter
street job.
Further the property owners do not
propose to have bridges narrower than
the street. They figure that Min street
is to be business thoroughfare and
should be well constructed.
In the contract for the work no pro.
vision has been made for retaining
wall at the creek and high water would
wipe out half block or so of paving.
A delay until spring would give the
city an opportunity to make fill be.
tween Church and Winter street. It is
hardly believed that an attempt will
be made to pave the street this fall

of the property owners. If necessary
it is stated that the matter will be

Merchants of
State Warned
Feared Gang Working as Scale Testers
in Washington May Invade This
State Also.

F. G. Buchtel, deputy sealer of
weights, has Issued a warning to all
merchants and dealers using scales not
to permit anyone to test or correct
their scales unless the person shows his
authority from the state sealer, State
Treasurer Kay, to do so. He also warns
them against paying any charge for
such work, as under the Oregon law no
charge is permitted. In Washington,
which has a law similar to ours there
is a gang of grafters pretending to be
deputy sealers of weights, and they
have been charging dealers exorbitant
fees for pretending to correct their
scales This warning is issued as the
gang is liable to extend its operations
to this state, as it has cleaned up a nice
little sum in our neighboring state.
Anyone authorized to seal and correct
scales in this state will have his auth
ority from the head office with him,
and Mr.. Buchtel urges all dealers to
make anyone asking to correct their
scales show this authority, and to pay
no fees therefor under any circum.
stances.

Senator Norris then reviewed the
progress Of the Astor fortune.
"The trouble with this inheritance
tax" said Senator Clapp of Minnesota,
