11 rilE MOKS1HO OKEIWXIA5, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, I90. ERSONATES ft SPECIAL OFFICER M. Thomas, Indicted for Work ing Smooth Land Graft, in County Jail. MAKES VERY BOLD MOVE Sues Victim for Amount Agreed t-'pon and Is Canght by Depart ment Thought to Have Oper- ated Extensively in West. Chargred with Impersonating: a special Igent of the Interior Department, whlcS mabled him to exact various amounts of money from land owners in the Interior Df the state, M. Thomas was brought to this city from Prlnevllle yesterday and lodged in the County Jail. Thomas was Indicted by the recent Federal grand Jury on a charge of representing himself to be a Government official. He was ar rested Monday at Prineville, the scene of his recent operations, by Deputy United States Marshal Terry. Thomas' game consisted of represent ing to purchasers of public land that for a consideration he would hasten all such lands to patent through the General Land Office bo that no question ever would arise as to their ownership. To the pur chaser of an unusually large tract of land Thomas is alleged to have called repeatedly and threatened the purchase? that unless his services were employed In perfecting title to the lands Thomas would cause the landlord all sorts ot trouble. Gets Checks; Payment Stopped. Thomas succeeded In impressing thid man with his abilities and demanded J5000 for the services proposed to be ren dered. This amount was considered ex orbitant by the owner of the land, who finally agreed to pay Thomas $1150. The agreed amount was paid to Thomas in the form of two checks, one for $650 and the other for $500. However, im mediately after delivering the checks, the man issuing them telephoned to the bank and cancelled their payment. The bogus Special Agent was not satisfied with this outcome of the deal and brought suit in the State Circuit Court for Crook County, demanding Judgment against his victim for the amount of the checks. . It was at this stage of the graft that the matter was brought to the attention of the officers of the Interior Depart ment. Ascertaining the facts, L. R. Glavls, chief of the field division, pre sented the evidence in the case to the Federal grand Jury, which promptly re turned an Indictment charging Thomas with a violation of the Federal Btatutes. Thought to Be 3Ian Wanted. Mr. Glavls suspects that Thomas is the man that has been operating exten sively in the guise of a Special Agent throughout tho Western states and for whom the Government has been search ing for the last two years. The plan of operation adopted by Thomas was Iden tical to that employed by the man for whom the Federal authorities have been looking, armed with a warrant, for over two years. This spurious agent first made his appearance in North Dakota and since 18S6 has operated In practically every other Western state. At one time the authority were so close on his trail In the state of Washington that in or der to effect his escape he was forced to bury numerous documents in the ground, where they were afterwards dis covered. Deputy Marshal Terry also brought with him two other Federal prisoners, Alfred H. Grant, of Bend, and Calvin Morris, of Plymale, both of Crook Coun ty. They were both indicted by the same grand Jury that returned an. indictment against Thomas. Grant was formerly postmaster at Bend and was Indicted for a shortage of $3000 in his accounts with the Government, when he was re moved from office a few months ago. after an investigation by the Postal In spectors. Morris is charged with send ing obscene literature through the malls. RED MEN TO CELEBRATE Indians of Umatilla Reservation Plan Unique Feature for Fourth. PENDLETON, Or., June 23. (Spe cial.) Two celebrations which will probably differ from all others to be held in Oregon, July Fourth, will be held on the Umatilla Reservation, near this city, by members of the three tribes of Indians under the care of the Government there. One celebration will be under the di rection of the Christian Indians, of which there are a large number, and will consist primarily of a festival or. In other words, might be characterized as a strictly "Sane Fourth." The other will be participated in by those Indians who have not accepted the teachings of the white fathers, or, if so, have back-slldden, and will be marked by paint and feathers, the war march, dance and whoop, while horse racing and other Indian sports will af ford Poor Lo plenty of opportunity t Indulge in his favorite pastime of gambling. TO RAISE SCHOOLS' STANDARD Normal Regents Propose to Advance Entrance Requirements. SALEM, Or., June 23. (Special.) That the entrance requirements of all the normal schools of the state be raised so that students must have an education equal to the ninth grade in high schools before entering a normal. Is one of the most important recom mendations the Board of Normal School Visitors has Just made to the Governor. The adoption of this recom mendation would be equal to advanc ing the standard of the normals by one year. Another Important recommendation made by the Board of Visitors Is that graduates of high schools be admitted to advanced standing in normals pro portionate with the work they have done in the eecondary school subjects. This would give high school students credit for all their high school work and leave them, chiefly, the profes sional studies and training department work to do In the normal. Perhaps more important than the recommendations made by the board is a report as to the efficiency of the in structors. Iu this respect this board has done what lias probably never been done bofore in Oregon has made a personal, fearless and apparently im partial report as to (ach teacher. This report will enable the board of re gents to weed out the Instructors who are not doing good work and to re elect those who are. The Board of Visitors also goes Into detail in Betting forth the needs of the various normals as to buildings and MP equipment, each of them needing- more or less In the form of permanent im provements. HCXT BIG OAT NEAR TACOMA Search to Be Made for Bloodthirsty Cougar by Organized Crew. TACOMA, Wash., June 28. (Spe cial.) Just outside the southern limits of the city In -the heavy timber near Wapato lake, an ugly cougar is hiding arid a hunt is to be organized to bring him down. George Bird first heard' the animal's cries about dusk two weeks ago. Apparently it was not more than 200 yards from Bird's house. A neighbor took his two dogs a week ago Sunday and went out to hunt for the animal. He had not gone far into the timber before the dogs aheat of him set up a terrible barking, and it was quickly followed by noises which indicated a fierce battle was on. When the hunter came up he found one of his valuable fox hounds dead. The cougar had fastened his Jaws in the back of the dog's neck, breaking it and killing him instantly. SWORE FALSELY IS CHARGE P.

Pleading guilty In. the United States Court to an Indictment charging her with rifling mall pouches, Mrs. Nellie B. Ra gan, ex-asslstant postmistress at Roy ston, Klamath County, was yesterday sentenced by Federal Judge Wolverton to serve one month in the Multnomah County Jail and to pay a fine of $400 and the costs in the case, aggregating $319. Mrs. Ragan paid the fine and costs and when .led from the courtroom to the county bastlle. refused to be separated from her 1-year-old daughter, Vivian, who will spend the ensuing 80 days with her mother in the" Jail. At the County Jail, Mrs. Ragan was placed in the cell occupied by Anna L. Pug meier, who is awaiting trial on an in formation charging her with passing; fraudulent checks. Four specific counts were Included In the indictment that was returned by the Federal grand Jury last . week against Mrs. Ragan, but in the court yesterday it was arranged that the ac cused should be permitted to enter a plea on only one of the counts. The operations of Mrs. Ragan, and which finally led to an investigation by the Postal Inspectors and her Indictment, were carried out on an extensive scale. For several weeks she abstracted from the malls that passed through the Roy ton Postofflce numerous packages containing articles of merchandise. The Meier & Frank Company, of this cny, was one or tne many firms that sustained losses through the operations or .Mrs. , JKagan. At one time Mrs. Ragsdale, residing near Croyston, re mitted to the Portland house for a corset, size 23. The package in due time reached tne croyston JfoBtotflce. where it was an proprlated by Mrs. Ragan. Complaint having been made by Mrs. Raradaln to Meier & Frank that the corset had not arrived, the firm immediately forwarded another. When this reached the Croyston Postofflce, Mrs. Ragan remalled it to Portland with a letter requesting that the corset be exchanged for one of size 28. The exchange was made and the garment was sent by registered mall. When this package reached Crovston Mrs. Ragan removed the larger garment nd substituted the original corset, size zj, ana saw mat it was delivered to Mrs. Ragsdale. As a result of tho scheme the Portland, house came out the loser of one corset while Mrs. Ragan had managed to supply herself with one end Mrs. Ragsdale, after watting patiently, finally received the garment she supposed re placed the one that had been lost in the mails.
