Two shots, fired In rapid succes
sion, aroused the people living in the
vicinlity of Lane and Jackson streets
early yesterday morning. Investiga
tion proved that no one was killed
but that Officer Ketch had adopted
that means of halting Frank Nelson,
whom he had under arrest. Nelson
was arrested on a charge of disorder
ly conduct, and was being taken to
the city jail when he made his es
cape. He ran south on Jackson
street, and later took refuge in a
clump of rose bushes in the yard of
A. D. Bradley. There he was over
taken by the officer and placed un
der arrest. The controversy which ls
alleged to have resulted in Nelson's
arrest occurred in a local grill. Both
the officer and prisoner were more
or less bruised as the result of their
experience. Officer Ketch says the
more he shot, the faster Nelson run.
Nelson pleaded guilty and was fin
ed $5. He was also given 20 days
i nii tne latter sentence being sus
pended.

Mrs. DeHart is accused of stealing
trading stamps belonging to the

en from the premium parlors, which
were conducted under the direction
of the complaining company.
When It was discovered that Mrs.
DeHart was exchanging many stamps
for merchandise, she was suspected
of stealing the stamiis and was later
accosted by representatives of the
Roseburg Stamp Company. She de
nied the theft, and in defense, said
she found the stamps on the side
walk, at the corner of Rose and Cass pajr Association Hold Meeting
streets, in this statement she was
substantiated by hex brother, until
recently employed in a local bakery.
After several conferences among the
stockholders of the Roseburg Stamp
Company it was decided to arrest
Mtb. DeHart and proceed with her
prosecution. Yesterday the warrant
o,f arrest was served.
It is understood that Mrs. DeHart
will employ attorneys and fight the
charge. She claims she is innocent,
and appears to entertain lltde fear
of being convicted.
