LETTERS CARRY THREATS TO TWO
FAMILIES.
Demands for Money Made Through In.
Umldating Notes,
, (Pendleton EaBt Oregonlan.)
Threatening to destroy the homes
of Mrs. Clive Cheshire and Mrs. John
Stockman If compliance were not
made with their demands for money,
members of a black hand gang have
succeeded In causing considerable un
easiness among those acquainted with
the attempts to extort money, Let
ters were received 'by each of the two
ladls last week but the police have
kept the fact secret In the hopes of
being able to apprehend the culprits.
Mra. Cheshire reeclved the first
letter In which she was ordered to
leave $80 In gold at a water hydrant
at the corner of Wilson and Garfield
streets and a day or two later Mrs.
Stockman received a similar letter, ev- j
(dently written by the sams person
and In which the same spot was desig
nated for the depositing of $35. Both
demands were emphasized by a threat
to burn the residences of the recipi
ents upon failure to respond.
i The letters were turned over to the
police and Chief Kearney -stationed
an officer for several days and nights
nar , tthe hydrant mentioned in the
hopes of apprehending the black
hand men when they came to ascer
tain if their Intended victims had com
plied with their demands. These ef
forts, proved fruitless, however, for
no oneappeared to get the bag of
washers which had been left there.
Probably School Boys.
Chief Kearney is of the opinion that
the letters were the work of school
boys for the handwriting is of the
vertical style now being taught in
the public schools. Investigation,
however, has failed to throw 1any light
on the Identity of the culprits and
the chief announced this morning that
he would pay a substantial reward for
Information leading to the arrest of the
guilty parties. .;' ' , . ' ' ,
The Cheshire letter bore the signa
ture B. H. S., presumably meaning
Black Hand Society, but the Stockman
letter was unsigned.

These figures represent' 'the
proportion of fires caused by de
fective electric wiring and kero
sene lamps respectively.
They are taken from tlje an
nual report of the Oregon Fire
Relief association.
Out of 256 losses during the past
year, one was directly traceable
to defective wiring; sixteen 'to
overturned or exploded lamps.
Any practical electrician can
wire your house so that danger
from defective wiring Is abso-
lutelr eliminated. But no on
can guarantee that your oil lamp
will not be overturned to Vx-t
plode. There' is always more or
less danner. '.'"'.;!
