LA FRANCE IS Insurance Swindler Arrested at Coquille Held to Grand Jury Stormy Scene Tho Portlnntl nuthorltles liavo been unablo to find nny definite clue yet as to where J. C. LnFrancc, tho Insurance Bwlndler who was arrested nt Coqultlu about a month ago, obtained tho body which ho palmed off as his own to Becuro the $15,500 life Insurance La Franco Is keeping mum on this point, although ho has told tho wholo story nbout tho other phases of tho mystery. Some bollevo that ho Is withholding this Information for tho purpose of being ablo to mulct different parties when ho again secures his freedom, as It will be a strongo club to use. Concerning tho latest develop roent In tho case, tho Oregon I un eays: "Almost a fist fight occurred yes terday In front of tho Municipal Court between representatives of the District Attorney's offlco and Boon Cason, a Police Court attor ney, over tho lawyer's pretended right to appear on bohalf of .7ns. C. LaFrnnco, accused of swindling Insurance companies by substituting tho body of nnothcr for his own. Acting upon tho prisoner's assur nnco that ho had authorized no at torney to appear for him, tho Btnto objected to Canon's acting In tho case, and this brought on a heated argument. Proceeding on tho assumption that La Franco did not desire to make a fight, tho prosecution was unprepared yesterday when Cason appeared beforo Judge Tazowoll and domanded an Immediate hearing. Tho caso had been postponed from time to time over slnco LnFranco's arrest, awaiting developments as to whero ho obtnlncd the substituted body. Lato yestorday morning a hur ried call was sent to tho Court liouso to produco tho prisoner and tho witnesses against him. On tho way to court LaFranco assured Doputy Murphy and Thomas Uynn that ho had engaged no attorney, though Cason and others had no llcltcd him at tho county Jail. La tor, upon whispered nssuranccB that It would cost him nothing, ho con sented to allow Cason to appear for him, and ho was hold to tho grand Jury. Cason thrcntened to whip Ilynn, but tho latter pulled off his spec tacles and Invited tho assault, which did not tako place. L HI.

The visitors wore escorted to tho hall, whero Mayor Mast In a fow words welcomed tho visitors and turned city over to them nnd Exnlted Ruler W. II. Kennedy, of the Marsh Held lodgo responded. Then tho MnrBhflold Elks wore tnkon to tho Commercial Club to chango their uni forms but instead of their regulnr hall uniforms, they found prison uni forms awaiting them nnd they had to don tho stripes nnd march to the grounds.

Umplro Dlowor declared the gamo forfeited to Coqulllo, but MnrBh flold will protest It nnd clnlm that they will produce evidence from Co quille fniiB to show that tho umplro wns clcnrly In the wrong. Tho gamo was a good one, nl though marred by much "rng chew ing," nnd considerable rowdyism. Freoman, Morshfleld's now cap tain, pitched a good gamo, allowing nine hits nnd keeping thorn well scattered. Perkins, tho now cntch cr from Gardiner, showed up strong behind the bat In nddltlon to being there with the willow. Ho hnd mado a homo run early In the giimc and his hit In tho eighth Inning wns far Into right field, getting homo before tho bnll got back. At tcr Dlowor had declared It was only a two-bagger, he wont straight back to Bocond nnd n moment Inter wiib tngged out on what Marflhflold de clares was a "rank steal."
