Sheriff Fenton continues to "de
liver the goods" in bis capacity as
an officer of the law. His latest ex
ploit is the capture of J. W. Lamere,
who last Wednesday night entered
Joe Bartholomew's room at a local
lodging house and stole f 26 in money
and a watch, chain, locket, pocket
knife and razor. All of the booty,
except 2.50 of the money, waB found
on Lemere's person, and he has made
a clean breast of the crime. He is
now in the county Jail In Roseburg,
following his apprehension in a quiet
and clever manner on the Southern
Pacific railroad, a short distance
south of Yoncalla, late Friday after
noon. AH but J2 of the money which Le
mere stole belongs to L. L. Lewis,
the local soft drink stand proprietor,
by whom Bartholomew is employed.
The remaining 1 2 belonged to Bar
tholomew, as do the articles of jew
elry and the knife and razor. Upon
closing the stand for the night, Bar
tholomew, on the night of the rob
bery, took the contents of the cash
till with him, as is his custom: This
fact was known to Lemere, who had
been given work at Lewis' stand up
on drifting Into town five days before.
Going to Bartholomew's room ahead
of him, Lemere secreted himself un
der tne bed and was not discovered.
After Bartholomew retired for the
night and fell asleep, Lemere crawled
out of his place of concealment, com
mitted the robbery and fled, wnen
arrested. Lemere was wearing a gold
wedding ring, which Sheriff Fenton
says .fllongs to a married woman of
this clfy. The ring, however, was not
stolen by Lemere.
How Lemere Was Captured.
Deciding to leave town on foot,
Lemere walked from here to Suther-
lln, where he spent Thursday night
In a dry goods box. Friday morning
he walked into Oakland, ate his
breakfast, bought two bottles of near
beer and then resumed his tramp
northward. In the meantime Sheriff
Fenton learned through railroad men
who knew Lemere that the fugitive
hri zone north, and had officers at
Oakland and Yoncalla to keep a look
out for him. As Lemere was leaving
Oakland he was recognized from hie
description by a section crew, ana
the cltv marshal of that town was
Immediately notified. Chase was
trivnn. hut when the nursuers sighted
Lemere they mistook the two bottles
of beer which he was carrying for
revolvers and decided not to preBs
mutters.
As Lemere was descending the
nnrth side of Rice Hill, the engineer
of a freight train coming from behind
him recognized him and resorted to a
ruse to facilitate his capture. Stop-
nlnir the train near Lemere, the en
gineer Jumped from his cab to the
ground and pretended to make an
examination of his engine. Then he
turned to Lemere and Invited him to
-Ma. The invitation was accepieu
without hesitation. In a gap leading
Into the Town of Yoncalla, a short
distance ahead of ttie train, was Sher
iff Ponton, who had taken a rouna
Mtwtut rnnd to head off Lemere. He
flagged the train upon Its approach
and made the surprised Lemere I
prisoner without the slightest trou
ble.

Roseburg Swindler Passed Checks in
Capitol City Farmer Fell
For $5000 Game.
From Pendleton and Salem come
the reports that the police of those
cities want Frank Miller, alias George
F. Meyer, the olly-tongued swindler,
enroute to Roseburg from Sisson,
Calif., in the custody of Constable
Ryan, to answer to the charge, of
obtaining $75 from the First National
Bank, of this city, on a spurious
draft. A dispatch from Salem, dated
April 30, says:
Frank Miller, arrested at sisson.
Calif., is believed by the authorities
ere to be the same who passed sev
eral bad checks in Salem about the
middle of this month. While here
he went by the name of George F.
Meyer. He was employed as a cook
In a restaurant, but pretended to be
detective, and solicited among tne
business men and even went to the
penitentiary, wishing to be given a
position retaking escapes.
Meyer came to Salem irom Day
ton, Yamhill county, where he had
lived from January until March, ac
cording to a diary left behind in his
hurry to decamp. He passed two or
three $16 checks while here, one on
local hotel proprietor, on wnicn
charge he will be prosecuted if
brought to Salem."
Miller Credited With This Job.
The Pendleton correspondent of
the Portland Journal sends the fol
lowing to his paper under date of
April 30:
Working a bunco mat nas oeen
used to separate farmers from their
money In every section or tne coun
try, two swindlers have left a Uma
tilla county farmer to now tne sacs
for a lame sum of money. ine
amount Is said to be $5000, but this
cannot be confirmed. Name of the
man fleeced as well as the full de
tails of the swindle are being kept
quiet by the few officers who have
been made acquainted with the facts
and they refuse to divulge tuem.
It is known, nowever, mat me
farmer was Interested In a shady land
transaction. He waB to put up an
emml amount of money with the two
strangers and was to snare equally
in the profits.. After he had pro
duced his share of the money, the
entire amount, together with what
the strangers bad, was placed in
erln and left with the farmer for
safekeeping while the strangers came
to Pendleton to nnisn up some oi
the details of the deal. When, after
counle of days they did not return
the farmer ODened the grin to find it
contained nothing more valuable
than some worthless paper.
One of the bunco men is said to
he wanted at Roseburg. He gave
his name here as Frank Miller. The
other went by the name of H. c,
Howard.

Hendricks and Xuchary Get Imprison
ment Ex-Senator Stciwer is
Fined $2,500.
PORTLAND, Or., May 1. Motion
for a new trial In the case of John H.
Hall, ex-United States District At
torney, convicted of conspiracy, was
heard by United States Judge Hunt
In the Federal Court yesterday, and
was taken under advisement. Judge
Hunt is expected to pass on the mo
tion some time today before he leaves
for San Francisco.
Three of the convicted land fraud
defendants who either had been con
victed or had pleaded guilty to in
dictments returned under Heney were
yesterday sentenced by Judge Hunt.
They were: W. W. Steiwer, ex-Slate
Senator and president of the Butte
Creek Land, Livestock & Lumber Co.,
H. H. Hendricks, ex-United States
Commissioner, and secretary of the
Butte Creek Company, and Clarence
B. Zachary, manager of the same
company.
On a perjury charge, Hendricks
received a sentence of 13 months' im
prisonment at McNeill's Island and
was fined $500. In the conspiracy
case, a fine of $100 was imposed.
Hendricks furnished a bond for his
appearance on the order of the court,
pending-the time that he can consult
ith his counsel, Judge A. s. Bennett,
of The Dalles, and perfect plans for
an appeal of his case.
Zachary Pays His Fines.
Under an indictment returned on
April 8, 1905, Zachary had been con
victed August 17, 1906, on a charge
of perjury. He pleaded guilty, with
Hendricks and steiwer, to a subse-
ueut indictment, in which he was
charged, jointly with Hall, et al..
with conspiracy. On the perjury
charge, Zachary was sentenced to
serve 90 days in the Multnomah
County Jail and to pay a fine of $ 100.
On the conspiracy charge he received
fine of $50. During the afternoon
be paid into the United States court
the aggregate of the two fines, $150,
and began serving his sentence.
Ex-Senator Steiwer escaped with
fine of $2500 for the alleged con
spiracy with which he was associated
with Hall and to which he pleaded
guilty and became a witness for the
government. He paid the amount of
his fine to Circuit Clerk Marsh dur
ing the afternoon.
Announcing that he had conferred
with Heney, Mr. Becker moved a
postponement in pronouncing senten
ces agalnBt George Sorenson, who was
convicted with F. P. Mays and Wll-
lard N. Jones, on an indictment
charging conspiracy, and against D.
W. Tarpley, who was convicted with
S. A. D. Puter et al., In the celebrated
11-7" case. It is presumed that Sor
enson and Tarpley will be used as
witnesses for the government in the
trial of Blnger Hermann, which is
scheduled to be taken up next fell.
Mays Indictment Dismissed.
A formal motion also was entered
dismissing the conspiracy indictment
as to F. P. Mays, who had been In
dicted together with Hall, Steiwer,
et al., on the conspiracy charge. At
the trial of the Hall case, Heney
promised to have this indictment dis
missed as to Mays, in order that the
latter might testify for the govern
ment in the trial of Hall. However,
the indictment waB not dismissed as
to Mays, and yesterday's order, on
motion of Becker, was made to clear
the records and in fulfillment of Hen-
ey's agreement with Mays.
At the request or Mr. jecaer, me
conspiracy indictment, in what Is
known as the "Wisconsin case," was
dismissed as to Herman W. Stone, a
resident of Minnesota and one of tne
defendants.

Thnt first crate of Oregon straw
berries for 1909, sought by the Rose
burg Commercial Club, was picked at
Ijlllard Friday, Aprli 30, and were
brought to this city today by F. B.
McCord and Booster Colt. That Mr.
McCord Is an enthusiastic Oregon
booster is shown by tho fact that
although ho had just returned at
uluo o'clock this morning from a trip
to Portland, he at once took his auto,
and, accompanied by Mr. Colt, went
to Dillard and brought in the first
crnte of Oregon strawberries for the
year 1909. An allldavlt was secured
from the growers, and the auto, and
the berries wore both photographed
before the latter were finally closed
up in the crate to be expressed to
the Hotel Portland, where they will
be served nt Sunday dinner. Tho
growers will receive 19.60 for this
crnto of berries, or 40 cents per box.
These growers are: O. W. Qago, L.
S. Coon, O. W. Laurnnce, 8. L.
Green, S. M. Parker and D. J. Noah.
Thus again has Dillard won the dis
tinction for producing the first crate
of Oregon strawberries for the sea

list In this line for Bcveral years past,
and easily holds ftrBt place as a fruit
