today to clear out the debris and when
down for the third time signalled to
his assistants to hoist MIN as the
fumes were making his i'll.

ing had reached a point about 20 feet
from the surface when he tainted and
fell into the well, breaking his neck
and both legs.

NEWSBOYS BECOME
TOO ENTHUSIASTIC

As the result of little fraeas yester
day evening in an alley back of the
Hubbard building, when Walter Kaiser,
engineer for that building, slapped Earl
eastman, newsboy, who was using
abusive language, the parties concerned
appeared in the police court this morn
ing at S o'elOek before Police Judge
Elgin.
Walter Kaiser pleaded guilty to the
charge of assault and was fined So by
the judge. The fine was paid by Blaine
Hubbard. Earl eastman, the newsboy,
was arraigned on tine charge of being
indecent and disorderly and using OBJ
scene and insulting language to Walter
Kaiser. The boy denied using the vile
and obscene language. Two other boys,
San Jones, of 220 ID street, and Robert
Bailey, of 1896 Fourth street, were wit
nesses and stated that the bad language
was not heard by them but that they
saw blows struck. After some severe
questioning and lecture by the judge
regarding conduct on the street, the
boys case was continued until Tuesday
morning, when his father is to appear.
Numerous complaints have been
made concerning the conduct of the
newsboys about the Oregon Electric de-
pot, - declared Judge Elgin, "and am
heartily tired of the business. 1t must
stop or the whole bunch will be thrown
into Jail. The chief of police is in
structed to give special attention to
these boys, who must stop using bad
language and annoying the travelling
public, "
The chief of police stated that he
would keep special watch over the boys
and asked to have any misdemeanOrs
reported to him at once. 1t is said tae
boys have made a practice of going in
the alley and turning over garbage
cans, eating watermelOns and throwing
the rinds about, and scuffling and
throwing talcum powder and orange
peels about, much to the Inconvenience
of the travelling public.
