It?he fdremost dry, goods establishment' or SOUTHERN OREGON q
Pacific are beld up today on account
of the wreck of a freight train at
Brooks, eight miles north of here.
Details of the accident are lacking,
but no one was injured, so far as
learned.
A man named Henderson, from
South Dakota, was in Roseburg today
trying to find some trace of his hal?
brother, Ed. Schwarts, who Is mys
teriously missing'. The last seen ot
Schwartz was on the 9th of last
November, when he made Una! proof
on a timber claim before the U. S.
commissioner at Medford. It was
supposed that he then went to his
home at Pressor, Wash., but he failed
to show up there. Henderson went
to Medford before coming to Rose
burg, but gained no information that
would lead him to Schwartz's where
abouts. Schwartz was a man of good
habits and never mingled with other
than a good class ot people. He is
about JO years ot age, 6 feet 2 Inches
ta. -sighs 200 pounds, has a light
moustache, blue eyes and was well
dressed at last accounts. Hender
son's theory Is that hlB relative may
have been mentally deranged, and be
is going to Salem to see If Schwartz is
In the insane asylum. It he fails to
find him there, he will then endeavor
to trace him through correspondence
which passed between Schwartz and
a party In La Orande, relative to the
trade of some property.
Deputy United States Marshals Ed.
Deady and Will Grlfilth, of Portland,
were in Roseburg today, but the na
ture of their business was not dis
closed. ' It Is presumed,, however,
that they were looking for witnesses
summoned for land cases to be tried
in Portland. So far as known, they
served no papers.

Officers Raid Seven Roseburg
Soft Drink Places :
NO DISORDER; NO ARRESTS
Numerous Samples of Beer Taken For
Analysis, and One Bottle of
Whiskey Slezed
la quest of stronger beverages
than those allowed in tr attic under
the local option law-, Sheriff B. Fen-
ton and a force of seven deputies
raided seven of Roseburg's soft drink
establishments about 8 o'clock last
Saturday night. Bottles of what are
apparently beer were taken away by
the of 11 cere from five of the places
visited, and fropi one of these there
was also Btezed a bottle of what an
pears to be whisky. The raid , was
legalized by search warrants -issued
by Justice of the Peace John T. Long,
and the work was performed without
disorder or resistance.
The raid was so planned that each
of the soft drink places was entered
simultaneously. Sheriff Fen ton had
assisting him, besides his two reg
ular deputies, A. K. Marker and it.
T, Ash worth, the following: Con
stable J. N. Ryan, Night Policeman
Carl Palm, H. D. Ryan (city council
man), Dick Hughes, court house jan

worker. The places visited were
those conducted by Otis Fisher, It.

(Hlldeburn's old stand), 0. W. Noah,
A. T. Thompson and Chas. Harmon.

officers in nearly every instance were
extended a cheerful welcome and.
Gifts
upon departing,: Invited to "call
again."
No arrests were made, the Imme
diate object of the raid being solely
to obtain samples of liquor with a
view to determining Its quality. The
liquor will, undergo a test as to its
percentage of alcohol, which, under
the prohibition law, must not exceed
3 per cent. If any of the liquor is
fouud, upon examination, to exceed
this allowance, arrests will follow.
The entire matter, as it now stands,
will be placed In the hands of Dis
trict Attorney Brown, who Is ex
pected home from Coos county tonight.-
If Mr. Brown decides that
prosecutions are necessary, he. will
undoubtedly take some definite ac
tion before the grand jury meets on
the 11th of next month. If any ar
rests are made at all,, however, the
preliminary proceedings will be had
before Justice Long.
The .bottle of alleged whiskey
slezed In the raid was found by
Sheriff Fenton In person at Chas.
Harmon's place. The' sheriff also
took from this place some bottles of
what appears to be beer. Like
samples of beer were also taken from
the establishments of Fisher, Lewis,
Wright and Noah. From Fisher d
place. Officers Marker and Palm took
nine bottles of beer, but from the
other proprietors only two or three
bottles of such liquor were secured.
Sheriff Fenton found nothing In
Thompson' place that attracted. hlB
suspicions, so took nothing away.
Deputy Sheriff Ashworth, who visited
Mathews' place, had a similar ex
perience. He found. Mr. Mathews
well Blocked with all kinds of soft
drinks. Some of these he sampled.
finding them of the "soft" order, and
finally decided that Mr. Mathews kept
no drinks outside the pale of the
prohibition taw.
Save the bottle of alleged whiskey,
all of the liquor sit zed In the raid
was unlnbclled. It bears the appear
ance of beer, but whether It Is "near-
beer" or the anti-temperance brand
will probably be decided later. In
each Instance, where slezure was
made, the officers labelled the bottles
to Identify the ownership and gave
the proprietor a receipt for them.
