Warrants of arrest were today is sued for Preston Baker and Jess Millett, who last night engaged in a tight whiche came near resulting In serious consequences. The stories ot the affair are widely divergent, both sides making claims which are denied by the other. Millett and his wife and M. M. Griffin were passen gers on the stage operated by Baker between Myrtle 'Point, Conuille and Roseburg.' They were also accom panied by two quarts of corn whis key, which seemed to figure very prominently in the affairs. According to the story told by Baker, they had passed Camas mountain and had reached a point on Hoover hill, when he demanded the fares from the passengers who had been drinking freely. Millett, immediately became angry and ! struck him with a rock or some oth- cr heavy implement and throwing him from the car, the two engaged ' in a heated battle. I Baker was knocked unconscious and did not recover until he was brought to this city by Mr. 'Gage, who operates the jitney line in Roso- burg. The party then took the car. and drove it as far as Shady, Point, 1 and upon reaching the place where the roads fork near the top of the hill after crossing the railroad track' endeavored to turn into the lower i road which is now blocked owing to the fact that it is being repaired, j N'ot seeing the steam roller stand ing in the roadway they drove the auto squarely into the heavy engine, breaking off one light, smashing the fender and bending Chyj front axle. ' They then walked the remaining two miles into this city and took rooms In the Grand hotel. After their arrival in this city they called up Mr. Gage and wanted him to take them to Winchester. Jlr. Gage agreed and started for the hotel, but was told before nis arrival that the parties had started out of Myrtle Point with Mr. Baker, but that the latter had failed to arrive in town. Becoming suspicious of them, Mr. Gage accompanied ;by Officer Wilcox, went to the hotel and questioned them closely. They stated that they had had a fight with Baker because he had insulted Mrs. Millett and that after the scrap he had left them although they had paid their fares. They attempted to drive the auto into the city, but had left it at the forking of the roads. Leaving the night officer to watch the three, Mr. Gage went to the place where they had left the car and found it in Its wrecked condi tion with no signs of the driver about.. Believing that they had killed him, Mr. Gage Immediately drove on keeping a sharp look out along the road until he found Baker lying at the northern approach of the Winston bridge. He took him in the car and attempted to rouse him and succeeded in bringing him to a semi-conscious state before reaching Roseburg. Mr. Gage is confident that Baker had not been drinking, as there were no signs of drunkenness about him and that his.condition was the effect or a Fevere blow which he had re . !!, He also believes that It was a plan on the part of the passengers to reach Roseburg without paying ihe necessary rates. Intending to tske the ear on to the next railroad r.tation and leave It there, taking the train for a place farther north. Millett and his wife, however, maintain that-the fight occurred be-' cause of an insulting remark made by Baker to the woman. Mr. Millett slates that he and the driver engag ed in a fight out of the car and were separated by Mr. Griffin, who was awakened after the altercation had turned to blows.. Alter this they claim that Baker climbed into the auto and drove It for several miles, although one of the tire3 had be come punctured after they had rid den a short distance. Millett says that he Insisted that the tire be re paired before they went farther and that Baker climed from his seat and started walking up the road towards Roseburg. He says they then wait ed for about an hour after which he took the casing from the wheel and started into town on the rim, as he was confident that the driver had no intention of returning. Upon reach ing the hill the lights failed and not knowing the road, took the wrong way and struck the engine at the forking of the roads and from there walked into the city. , During the examination Griffin denied that he had paid the fares for the party as was claimed by Millett and his wife stating that he had only paid $10 to Mr. Gage this morning for damage done to the auto. At the time Baker was found he had only $3 with him while the fares for the party would have amounted to considerable over $15. it is understood thut Millett and his wife were run out of Coquillo by the officers on account of their questionable actions while there and it Is believed that they persuaded the other man to accompany them, deiiending on him to pay their way. Millett was placed in the county jail this morning pending further action. , ' ' Baker was arrested on a charge of' driving on auto while in a drunken condition and was given until to-J morrow piornlng to make his plea. ' He maintains that he was not drink ing at any time on the trii) al though the three passengers drank freely of the two quarts of whiskey which they had with them. Millett also appeared later in the day on the same charge and was given until tomorrow morning at ten o'clock in which to plead. He stated that he would consult with an attorney and would probably be ready to answer to the charge late this afternoon. HUGHES WILL BE T17TH Will be in Portland on Nighl of August Sixteenth.
