Friday night. All of the Italians,
comprising a Southern Pacific section
crew, are now in jail in this city, 14
in the county jail and six in the city
jail. As all are allcne, thei.- examin
ation may be deferred until an Italian
consul, fiom either Portland or Sun
Francisco, can reach the cltv. Their
alleged effense is made all Hie worse
by tbe fa?t that the poetodico was
robbed, this Involving the United
States fecvernmeut. About $7 woi.li
of stamps was Included In -he booty
of tho burglars, besides 20 pairs of
working shoes and about $2.50 in
money.
Fifteen pairs of Ihe sto'en shoes
were recovered by Sheriff Fen Eon uf
ter he utterad a demand including a
vigorous phrase which was taken lit
erally, hating little evidence against
the ltall- ne, tut conlldeut from cer
tain circumstances that they had
otrmlttod -he lrbbery, Fenton re
solved as a la&t resort to "run a
bluff." Approaching one of the men
who cculd undeistand a little Eng
lish he snid sterriy:
iNow. se hove, Im not going to
fool with jou fellows any longer.
Dig up ibo e .hoes."
The fallow addressed toolc tno
sheriff pt his word when he snid
"dig." Plck'ng up a shovel and mo
tionii ? to the sheriff to follow him
he went (0 a bark of dirt a short dis
tance from the cars in which the gang
lived, anr, with a few strokes of the
implement, exposed .to the officer's
view several pairs of the stolen shoes.
Frcm two other places in the din
pile the fellow also dug out shoes,
until 15 pairs In all were in tho sher
iffs possession. After coming to
Roseburg with the gant; Kenton was
Informed that the remaining five
pairs had been recovered.
On one of the Italians, Kenton
found $3 worth of stamis, and thh
fellow may prove to he a ringleader
If the crime of robbing the postof
flce is fastened upon this man II
means $300 for Fenton, that amount
being the standing reward offered by
the government for the conviction ot
a posloflice bufcglar. For every ac
complice this man may nave hac
means $300 per head also for the
captor if they are convicted.
Every one of tne twenty Italians
had on his person either a knife or a
razor. One of them had a revolver,
and in their cars were found two
shotguns.
Hfli-d Tidids Aht)l.
Of the entire list of cases on the
rimlnal docket, those that promise
to give District Attorney Drown Hit
hardest fights are the ones agnlnst
PrL'f. George Sawyer, former prin
cipal of the Oakland schools, who it
charged with bigamy, and li-on
and Merrill, accused of crni-kiug the
safe In the Roseburg Steam Laundry.
it Is said that the necessary witnesses
for the prosecution ot Prof. Sawyer
annot be induced to come here from
Pennsylvania, and the state will have
to relv nrincipally upon documentary
evidence. In the case of Wilson and
Merrill, the .state has purely circum
stantial evidence, although this is of
very strong character. Wilson's rec
ord shows that he has had lots of
experience fighting the law, and in
most cases he has escaped convic
tion.
Tracey, Johnson, Lemcre, Fink and
Roberts, all of whom were caught
with the stolen goods, are expected to
nlead guilty when arraigned before
Judge Hamilton. George F. Meyer,
who didn t buy the Hotel Mcuianen,
will probably plead guilty also. Har
ris will have to face the accusing tes
timony of his accomplice, Barrett
and a like fate awaits J. E. Hnll. on
whom McCulloch has "peached."
Either further continuance or dismis
sal from the do' kot will be the order
made in the care of Fletcher W
Hewes, indi:ted on a charge of beat
ing his two Vttle children at his
home near Myrtle Creek. At the
Januarv term ot the circuit court
Judge Hamilton ac cepted the explan
ation of the district attorney that the
father of the defendant had spirited
away the two children and their
mother. They have not since return
ed, hence the district attorney is pow
eriess.

loscburg's Street Paving Be

BONDS ISSUED A ACCEPTED
Contract Fcr Bilulllliic Paveiol is

Upcn Last Fall
& 4 l I '
CONTRACT SHiMt:i).
II, W. Arehumbeau, of Port-
lunU, manager for the Warren
Construction Co., aud the city
otliciulB signed up the street
paving contract this morning,
providing for the paving of
18 blocks of Kosuuurg's streets
with hard surface .bitulithic
pavement. The city bond issue
of $35,1)00 was also signed and
the bonds accepted by tho pur
chasers, the Doualns County
Bank, of this city. The paving
contract is Identically the same
as agreed upon laut fall and
provides that actual construc
tion of the paving, or work pre
paratory therefor, must begin
withiu ten days from this date,
and the contract be coiuplotcd
by August 1, 1909. This last
date is the same as was fixed
last fall, and tbe time may yet
be extended for completion of
this paving, for 30 or 60 days,
by the city council, on account
of the eight months which have
elapsed since this contract was
agreed upon.
Mr. Archambeau announced
to a Review representative to
day that the work oreparutory
fur this paving will be com
menced this week, and that
their district superintendent,
J. II. Shurey, will arrive here
in a day or two to complete ar
rangement s and start some
men lo work. Their rock
crusher and other equipment
will also be shipped hero and
put Into commission within a
few day.
Mr. Archamhnau says there
will be about 4000 cubic yards
of excavating, to be done and
10.000 feet of curbing to be
put In. They work on two
blocks at a time. The place
of beginning will not be de
cided until the construction
engineer arrives, but It will
perhaps be on Douglas street,
in front of the Court House,
to avoid unnecessary travel
over tho newly constructed
paving, while the other work
is going on. It will require
about 30 days to put In the
curbings and give them time
to harden, but this will be done
while the sub-grades on the
streets are being made. The
paving plant, proper, will reach
here soon after June 1st, but
that will be In ample time as
the grading and curbing must
be done first and this work
will be commenced right away.
The rock crusher will be. plac
ed at the base of Mt. Nebo,
at the west end of the big
river bridge ncross the South
Umpn.u, In this city.
In the next three or four
months Rosehurg will have a
mile of paved streets. The work
begins ihis week and will be
vigorously prosecuted.
