"Captain Boehra," referred to In
the story of international intrigue
by Germany, revealed in the papers
found in the raided office of Wolf
von Igel, is believed by Portland per
sons who know him to have been
Hans Boehm. Gerurkn ' reservist,
whose career In this city Is recalled
by many. .
Hansr Boehm, who it was learnod
later, held a commission as captain
l German reserves, was torm-
flewaro at the Arlington club
ime time. He developed a con
Jule acquaintance here and lat-
finaue Btward-manager or tne
in that position ho became
steward for the University club.
While in this Btate he married a
southern Oregon girl, whose parents
live near Dlllard. They uave two
children.
Shortly after the European war
broke out, Boehm left Portland. His
movements after that are more or
less obscured. It Is thought he was
active for months In weaving a web
of plot and intrigue at the behest of
his own country.
His trail was uncovered by the
authorities ct some widely scattered
points and at one time the govern
ment secret service agents were
looking for him to cause his arrest.
They were unsuccessful in their at
tempt to capture him, however.
He sent for his wife and children
and they leit Portland and met
Boehm In New York City. So fearful
was he at that time of arrest that
Mrs. Boehm and the children travel
ed by a separate steamer to Holland,
while he followed on another boat,
under an assumed, name and by use
of a false ipassport, It Is Bald.
Mrs. Boehm and the children went
through in safety to Germany, where
they are now believed to be living.
Captain Boehm, still Intent on the
duties of a spy which his government
had entrusted to him, was off again
on his perilous mission and later
. was taken prisoner while on an
English vessel from Spain enroute to
Holland. It Is not known that
Boehm ever entered England, but it
Is believed he confined his activities
to the safer neutral countries.
&l At any rate Ho. was made prisoner
'SRid the charfejl brought against him
was that of- having made use of a
false passport. Ho is understood to
have been interned and, although the
rumor circulated here that he had
been shot, this was never confirmed.
The Captain Boehm referred to In
the correspondence of Wolfe von
Igel Is believed here to have"1jeen
none other than the former affable
steward of leading Portland clubs,
who later made use of his acquaint
ance with men of affairs and of
things American in spying and in
trigue. Oregonian.
Captain Boehm, while a steward at
the Arlington club, Portland, met
and soon after married. Miss Helen
Vlllls, ; daughter of a well known
DilUrd rancher. Mrs. Boehm and
two children left for German soon
after the war and are now residing
near Berlin. Mrs. Boehm has a large
circle of friends In Roseburg and
vicinity.
