GETS YOl'TH IX TO TKOl BLi: An alleged dealer In gold bricks walked squarely into the bands 'of Sleuth McLane Saturday afternoon, and was taken into custody, green banded hat and all, and held in tbe city bastile to await the order of the sheriff of Jackson county, where he was wanted for having worked bunco games on hotel men in Ashland and Medford. Hammond or Ash, which were names used by the man, a dapper appearing fellow of about 30 years of age, had a novel scheme which he used to produce easy money from hotel keepers who "fell" for his game. He would find the name of some guest of the hotel who web not at tho immediate moment In the hotel, and would call up the hotel from some outside phone, represent ing himself to be the guest, and would state that he expected a C.O.D. to be delivered at the hotel for him, and asked that the hotel settle for it and charge It to his account, when he would settle on returning to the hostelry. A little later a confeder ate would appear at the hotel with the package, make the collection and disappear. The hotel would be Ions one valueless package and short in its cash account. This game wad worked with profit in both Ashland and Medford. The Grants Pass police department was notified to be on the watch for the man, and Chief McLane set out on a still hunt for him Saturday af ternoon. The chief was standing In the Smith cigar store within a few feet of the telephone when a young man called up the Josephine hotel, and represeatlng himself to be "Mr. Ash," said a package would arrive during his absence and asked that the hotel pay the C. O. D. charges as an accommodation, and that he would settle later. That was as far as the game went In Grants Pass, for Mac told the stranger that he had a package for him himself, and he gave him a suite at the Hotel de Mac Lane, where no C. O. D. packages ever get past. The messenger who assisted In the game at Medford is said to have been arrested there. It Is believed that a confederate was In on the deal here, hut he has not been found, and the packace failed to arrive at the hotel on schedule time.
