Editok Chiionicle:
Sik : In reply to an article published
in The Chronicle of Jan. 9ih, and head
ed "All About a Common Cur Dog," I
wish to make the following correction :
The said canine, was a well trained
sheep dog, and had been in my posses
sion for four years past last November.
About the 18th of December. 1896,
nenry xeacKei and Henry Kitscbke I
came to my sheep herder and took forc
ible possession of tbe doe. claiming thev
;bad bought tbe dog from young Wheel
house. The statement claiming that
Con. Yeackel had noseession nrior to
f hie time is a lie. In regard to the
ai to replevin and possession of the
dog, the actual owners, as per evidence,
disclaimed the dog in controversy, his
testimony proving that it was a different
dog altogether than the one in dispute.
But tbe justice of Centerville court de
c ded the caee againet me, on the
crounds tiiat Mr. Wheelhouse was too
good a man, that he couldn't discounte
nance his testimony.

SAM
, K.2:
His FMjHo arjil lllsSnne
vats, Mil j n
U. P. Sam came in from hie winter
quarters at Dufur yesterday, and amused
an idle crowd with his music last night.'
Sam is a character, a relic of by-gone
days, and his strident voice and not al
ways harmonious fiddle, "recall the vis
ions of other days. As the soulful
strains of "Sweet Betsy from Pike,"
leap from the tortured catgut and pul
sate the shuddering East Oregon ozone,
j one recalls the bearded miner, the long
trains of patient pack animals following
the giddy old gray bell-mare, tbe cov
ered wagons, the big teams, and the
swearing machines that drove them.
One can again hear the hurdy house
music, and tbe swish and thud of booted
feet aB they whirled tbe band-painted
damsels ot those davs in the worldly
wahZt thjJ dink
of glasses ns the
music ceased and they all slid up to the
bar to get their three fingers of coffin
varnish straight. But those days are
gone, only to be recalled in memory,
when such as TJ. P. Sara lift tho curtain
that hides the long ago.
Sam is on his way to Salem, he says,
to assist in organizing the lower house
of the legislature. "Music hath charms
to soothe the savage breast," and May-
nap rjam may prove exactly what is
needed. At least be cannot make things
worsehan they are.
The Chhonicle suggests that he be
employed as amusement committee for
tbe unorganized. For 5 per day Sam
will show each side up to tbe other in
doggerel verse and hog-corral music, that
will make both sides sorry they are
alive. We look for a successful organi
zation of the lower house in less then
six hours after Sam gets in the crowd.
C. F. BAKER ARRE8TED.
in
Jail for Obtaining- Money Under Fall
Pretenses.
This morning's Oregonian has the fol
lowing account of the misdoings of a
young man formerly of this city. He
was arrested here for conducting a fake
bicycle raffle, but never brought to trial.
His father resides here and is a most es
timable' man aiid citizen, who will have
tbe sympathy of all in the worse than
death of his son. The story of the crime
is as follows:
C. F, Baker, who claims to be a real
estate and insurance agent, was arrested
in the Hotel Imperial by Detectives
Welsh and McGxire at 8 o'clock lust
night. Tbe charge against Baker is ob
taining money under false pretenses,
preferred by A. B. Steinbacb & Co., but
it will probably be changed to one of
of forgery today.
Yesterday afternoon Baker entered
Steinbach'a store and bought clothing,
amounting to 156, He offered in pay
roent a check for $200, made in favor of
Rosa Jones, and bearing tbe signature of
T. A Seufert, of Tbe Dalles. Tbe check
was indorsed with a lead pencil by a
well-known business man of tbe city as
follows: "This It O, F, Baker, it.
W ," After some hesitation tbe sales

man who sold Baker the clothes took
the check and returned him $50, promis
ing to pay the rest when the check was
cashed. Baker left the store, and when
be had gone, some ono learned that
Seufertjwas in town, and was stopping
at the Hotel Imperial. He waB hunted
up at once, and denied having issued
any check to Bnker. Last evening the
alleged, real estate ngent was truced by
,tho clothing' men to the Hotel Imperial,
and they immediately telephoned to the
police station for an arresting officer.
Captain Barry sent up Detectives Welsh
and McUui're, who arrested Baker and
took him to the police station, notwith
standing his protestations of innocence
and threats to make monkeys out of
them if they did not let him go.
When he was searched, thrco notes,
each for $21)0, were found on his person,
all three signed by Rosa Jones, and a
warranty deed convoying some property
from Baker to Rosa Jonea for tho con
sideration of $800.
There was also a mortgage on the
i property given to Baker by Miss Jones.
The detectives started out on a search
-lor Miss Jones, having it clow to her
jwhereabotit from eomo of tho papers in
iBaker's possession. They hooii found
ber in a room in the Marquam lodging
house, where Baker and his sick wife
iJ
jwere also rooming. They at once know
her as Ilosa Lovelace, who is very well
Renown in Portland. The detectives took
the woman to the police station, and she
"told them how the check? happened to
be made out in her name. H)a said
jt.bat she arid Baker went together to a
(awyer's office and had the deed, mort
gage and three notes made out, which
were afterward found on his person.
then, in the presence of the lawyer, she
indorsed the cheek and gave liim the
ibree notes. The object of the whole
ransaction was to shield Baker in case
he was detected in passing the check,
and the Lovelace woman was to receive
a slice of tho money he got from it.
After hearing her story, tho detectives
sent her upstairs, and she will ke held
as a witness against Baker.
Mr. Seufert came to the police station
last night'and informed the detectives
that Baker is wanted ut The Dalles for
obtaining money under false pretenses
there.
Baker is a man of about 35, smooth
shaven, and has an intelligent counten
ance. He hat been about the city for
three weeks and has a wife lyln ill In
room 47, Marquam lodging-house,
A few days ago Detective McGuire
saw him trying to borrow $L'0 on the
same check from a storekeeper, hut ub ho
did not know whether or not the check
was genuine, he paid little attention to
tbe circumstances.
