San Joaquin County Accompanied
by .Two Itoputles Will Ar.
rivo He-iv Tomonxnv.
Word was received here this morn
ing at the sheriff's ofiice to the ef
fect that H. P. Youugerblood, under
deputy of San Joaquin county,
Calif., accompanied by two deputies,
will arrive here tomorrow evening
from Salem. The officers passed
through this city last night and call
ed on Governor Withycombe today
and were given extradition papers for
the removal of the young auto
thieves troin this state to Calif oinia,
where they will be arraigned for
trial. The party will arrive on train
iNo. 15 and depart on the Shasta
Limited at 10:20 tomorrow night.
The four California boys who are
wanted in Stockton for the theft of
a Hudson Speedster belonging to E.
N. Davis, a prominent rancher of
Modesto, were arrested here last
Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff Kpflely
and Patrolman Grant Wilcox on
telegraphic information furnished by
the southern officials and have since
been conllneu in the county Jail. The
uoys, who gave their names as C.
Lane, E. P. Arnautou, F. L. Nelson
and J. Beaton are all under 21 years,
of age, in fact they are mere you lis ,
UUU uuiii nimi uiiucainiit.c it.im.
from good v families. Basket
and track suits found in their be-j
longingB indicate that at least three
of fnem are stii. in hiuh school.
The young men, according to in
formation received here, are also re
sponsible for the theft of another
Hudson automobile, which was stol
en from San Francisco and later
wrecked In Tuxedo Park near Stock
ton, -and in all probability they will
be triedi on that charge also.
Since their incarceration here the
youths have been very model pris
oners and do not seem to take their
arrest as a serious matter. The boys
sleep well, eat well and really seem
. to take the whole situation as .1
good joke, even after confessing to
the charge placed against them, it
is believed that the quartette ha:
been in trouble before.
13. N. Davis, owner of the Hud
son Speedster, and Deputy Sheriff
bean, of Modesto, who arrived here
yesterday to take charge of the ma
chine, will leave for their home jmt
as soon as the car has undergone
necessary repairs. Mr. Bean, was ac
companied by his wife.

Miss Janet Davidson, of Cottage
Grove were married last evening at
the parsonage of the Methodist

tlves of the young couple were in at
tendance. The groom Is one of
Douglas county's most progressive
farmers and the young bride is well
known throughout the state where
she has taught school in various sec
tions for the past few years. After a
short honeymoon the happy couple

they will reside on the groom's large
farm. The best of wishes are cxtenu
ed for happiness.

RAFFETY LANDS TWO
l-'mir Quart mul Fifteen Pints of the
lUxXlegxvr Sjttfie of llooze Is
Taken From Jap's
Automobile.
Now the Japs are "doing It." Trav
eling in a big Wlnton Six. well dress
ed and with plenty of money to spend
two Japanese, giving their names as
D. tihiral and S. Yoshiuaka, were
picked up on Roberta mountain early
this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Kaffety and brought to this city and
lodged in the county jail charged
with illegally transporting "booze"
into dry territory.
The deputy had been on the look
out for these fellows for some time,
getting his first tip when the duo
passed through here going south over
a week ago, aud early today was ad
vised that the fellows were headed
north with a quantity of contraband
goods.
Roberts mountain again proved
'he "Waterloo" for the lawbreakers.
It seems that the Japanese were as
cending the south side of the moun
tain and when Hearing the top some
thing got wrong with the "clutch"
and the heavy machine suddenly
darted down the steep incline and
crashed into the embankment and
turned over. The Japs sent out the
"S. O. S." for help and a wrecking
crew was soon on the job and lep-
utv Sheriff Kaffety was head fore
man. Ho immediately began a sys
tematic search of the inside of tho
machine and soon unearthed four
quarts and 15 pints of pretty good
liquor. I
Satisfied with the evidence nt hand
the deputy loaded his cargo into an
other automobile and was soon In thu
city and his men behind the bars,
. where they will bo held- pending
trial. Mr. Kaffety missed his dinner,
but otherwise he is perfectly satis
lied with the day's work.
When searched upon their arrival
here one of the men had $llti and
the other about $14 and with this
money they duo tried their best to
bribe Mr. Kaffety, but thy deputy
turned ft deaf ear to the pleadings of
the men and shut his eyes on the
"dough" with the result that the
men will in all probability remain
where they belong until brought be
fore the proper tribunal.
When questioned as to'what h(
was doing with the liquor, S. Yoshiu
aka, who is manager of the Sumner
Produce Company, of Sumner, ash.,
eplied that he was "taking It to n
rriend.'" However, this excuse is of
no value as tar as the law Is concern
ed and the men will be forced to
stand trial just the same as an,
other "bootlegger. '

The party spent the night at the

thoroughly examined the new hos

while the building was found satis

enough completed to be accepted at
this time. According to Architect
Thompson, the hospital building will
not be finished lor at least two or
three weeks, but the work thus far
completed is entirely satisfactory,

cepted by the board.
Other buildings on the premises
were also inspected and were found
to be well kept and sanitary in every I
