' NEWS TRAVELS VERY SLOWLY When does news become a matter of history? is a question which might well he asked one of the news sleuths of the local democratic organ. Yes terday wMIe on his rounds for news he spied upon the desk of the sheriff of the county a telecram to the effect that a certain gentleman, Uy the suppose name of Carles Stewart, whi' In Hornbrook, Calif., had pass ed worthless checks to the amount of ft'iflo .nnd had thus far eluded all the efforts of the officers to capture him. The sheriff and his deputies hap pened to be absent and all further source of information was lacking but of what nren wa detail? The pourcp of inspiration was present and . the remainder of the story could be! easily supplied by deduction. The' criminal must be headed this way or! a trieeram would not have been sent to Koseburg. If such was the ease tie sheriff must be looking for him.' Neither that high officer nor his deputies were present, so they must be searching the trains. There was the story, with the exception of the glaring headlines which completed its makeup on Us appearance. One thing however was overlooked. The reporter In his excitement had tailed to observe the date line. The message was sent from Hornbronk two months ago and was left by the sheriff at his home until yosterda when he brought it to the office to be placed on file.
