Rl REAPER I . . . , , MASONS WIN CASE IN CUT COURT E L OF RAKE IM ALL OF TWELVE DOL LARS AFTER LONG, HARD NIGHT'8 WORK MISS VALUABLE FIND IN SATE Cannot Get Door Off and Don't Know How to Crack a Vault Work Show Amateur Were on Job Robberts broke Into the postoffice at Willamette about two o'clock Tues day morning and after trying to break Into a safe containing almost $5,000 in notes, checks, cash, and stamps, left by the front door within ten feet of where Ewald Lelsman was sleeping. Entrance was made through a win dow into the postoffice which Is In the rear part of H. E. Leisman's store. They probably UBed a bar of some kind and. in trying to pry up tbe window, their tool slipped and they shattered tbe glass and tore the sash loose from the window frame. They then crawled through the win dow and rumaged the postoffice. Tbey attempted to open the safe which con tained several thousand dollars in rash and notes but were unsucessful. Instead of using the usual methods of safe-breakers, they untwisted sev eral ornaments off the doors but left the dial alone. Also Rob Store After finding some small change In! tbe postoffice they went Into the store proper, where they robbed a drawer containing several dollars in nickles and dimes, besides a watch valued at $25. All the time while the robbery was In progress, Ewald Leisman, son of H. E. Lelsman, owner of the store, was sleeping in a balcony not more than ten feet from the front door or 35 feet from the window which was smashed. The robbers must have made considerable noise in escaping as tbe door bad two locks and was rather hard to open, even for one used to the building. Two young men, James Bliss and Frank Morgen, each 22 years of age, were arrested at three o'clock Tuesday morning on the i.harge of vagrancy by Officer Woodward and Cook. The two policemen followed the young men around the city and when the latter were unable to give satisfactory answers to the questions put to them by the officers, they were arrested. The police held the men in the jail all day but it was not until about three, o'clock in the afternoon tha: they 'connected the Willamette rob bery with the prisoners. A large num ber of coins of small denominations were found on tbe arrested men and several of these were recognized by Ewald Lelsman, who Is a clerk in the store. The men refused to confess but the police claim to have enough evidence to conylct the prisoners. It is thought that these name men had a plan to rob the Oregon City postoffice but were frightened away by the close watch of Lee French of the local police. The officers had noticed the men since last Friday when they first came to the city, but had no special reason to believe that they would try to turn. They were taken to Portland Tuesday night. OFFICERS TO TELL OF James Bliss and Frank Morgen, who re charged with robbery of the Wil lamette postoffice, will have a pre liminary hearing Thursday momins before Commissioner Cannon In Port land. Chief 8haw with officers Cook and Woodward will attend the hear ing as witnesses. The two men were arrested three o'clock Tuesday morning by Officer Cook and Woodward on a' charge of vagrancy. Coins and a watch were found on them which were recognized by Ewald Lelsman, a clerk in the rob bed store.

LOCAL HEROINES GIRL3 WHO EXTINGUISHED IN CIPIENT BLAZE ON CANE MAH TRESTLE THANKED INTER'JRBAN PRESIDENT CRATEEUL Mary Green, Hilda Ford and Orena May Hold Appreciative Letter Cash Award for Prevent ing Wreck Never more let it be said that a corporation has no gratitude. Espe cially never let such a thing be hinted about the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, for this week Pres ident Franklin T. Griffith, head of that concern, sent to three Oregon City ilrls substantial rewards for their heroism last July. The letter harks back to the hero ism of the Misses Mary Green, Hilda Ford and Orena May, who on July 24 while walking to Canemah, discovered a blaze eating away the ties that sup port the interurban line along the bank of the river to tbe south of this city. Tbe girls bad nothing with them with which to quench the fire, but realizing the danger should the blaze weaken the structure, climbed down a ladder to the river, ten feet be low, and soaking; a newspaper in the water, carried it up to the trestlework and wrung it over the flames. Re peated exertions of this nature on their part finally enabled them to see the fire die out just before an out bound Interurban train dashed over the weakened right-of-way. The matter was duly reported to the officers of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, and local officials of the line expressed their gratitude to the girls. In course of time the matter was brought to the attention of President Griffith, and this week he sent to each of the three local heroines the following letter: "During last summer the promt ac tion of yourself and companions prob ably saved us some loss on our Ca nemah roadway. The matter was in advertently overlooked by me, but I hope it is not too late for you to ac cept the enclosed small expression of our appreciation. ' "Yours very truly, "FRANKLIN T. GRIFFITH, "President-1 Each letter contained a cheque for ten dollars, and Thursday evening Mary Green, Hilda Ford and Orena May were the proudest girls in Ore gon City.

All up and down the right-of-way, the farmers of the rich Molalla coun try are becoming accustomed to the toot of the "iron horse." BROWN CASE COES OVER TO NOVEMBER The trial of M. J. Brown, editor of the Oregon City Courier, a weekly pa per, tcneduled for Tuesday, has been postponed until the term of court in November. The particular charge against Brown on wmcn tne grand jury returned it indictment was that be ran afoul of the libel statute when he published a statement that tha county commissioners had rebated their own taxes, according to the al legation. Brown Is said to have commented upon certain Items in tbe monthly statement of the county court in a way that the grand Jury evidently con ceived vras reflection upon the com missioner and tha court The case will now be placed on tbe November calendar.
