Judge Harris this morning pro nounced the minimum penitentiary sentence of one year on two horse thieves, who entered pleas of guilt v. One was W. M. Jones, who stole u horse from T. J. Medley at Oakland and was captured near Cottage Drove. The other was Harry W. Humbert, alias Truly, who rented a riding horse ffwm Hanks & Welker's livery Blables In Roseburg, and rode It to u place near the California line and then sold It. Jones, who Is all years of age. has a family In Hristol, Tenn. His uttoi ney. (ieo. Neuner, Jr., told the court that Jones was subject to periodical attacks of Insanity, due to a chronic disease, and that he was mentally un balanced when he committed the theft. When first arraigned In court, Gumbert plead not guilty. Later he changed his mind and acknowledged his guilt. As he was being led back to jail, (iumbert treated the officers to a big surprise by remarking: "(lee. 1 got off easy for a second termer." Guinhert supplemented the ex planation that he served two years hi the Oregon penitentiary for steal ing four horses in Lane county. T'n man who imposed the sentence wus none other than Judge Harris. Think ing that Judge Harris had recogniz d him tills niurning, (Iumbert decided that it would be better for him to plead guilty than stand a trial that would surely result In his conviction and a heavy sentence. If Judge Har ris recognized Guinhert this morning he gave no outward sign of such a fact Guinhert wore the khaki uniform of a lT. S. trooper. After selling the stolon horse he made his way to the Mexican border and enlisted In the 1'. S. army.
