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.

With Bullet In Head.
BAKER CITY, Or.,. June 23. (Special.)
In a quarrel near Richland, 60 miles
northeast of this city, J. F. Williams shot
Jim Elllo,tt today and his recovery is
doubtful. Williams and Elliott were
hunting and after partaking of several
drinks they decided to shoot at a mark.
Williams shot several times at a post

eye out. Elliott refused and Williams
making good his threat, took a shot at
his companion, the bullet striking him
in the head. This is Williams' second
offense, as it Is claimed that he stabbed
a man in a mining camp about a year
ago.

Early this morning an alarm of Are was
rung In from the National Lumber &
Box Company's mill, the largest factory

system the bell kept ringing until the
entire city was aroused. While running
to the Are an engine horse, vajued at
$500, struck a telephone pole and was
killed.
MRS. RAGAN PLEADS GUILTY

rifling mall pouches, Mrs. Nellie B. Ra
gan, ex-asslstant postmistress at Roy

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

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

supply herself with one end Mrs.

received the garment she supposed re
placed the one that had been lost in the
mails.

cial.) Considerable mystery is in
volved in the finding of the dead body
of a man near the North Cove light

shoes were on, otherwise the body was
nude. There are no marks of identifi
