A JOB WfiLL DONE
, ,Thc Observer the other. day .carried. on its front page. a
story of the solving of several burglaries in La Grande and
the sentencing of two, young men to penitentiary terms. The
story gave credit to the state police the city police and the
sheriff's department for their work in the clearing up oi the
burglaries, . but one shquld go a step farther. ;J
Particularly does Jim Steffen, chief of police, deserve com
mendation. siie, and he only, was able to, get a confession
fom Johiy W." Stewart, one of the two offenders. ' Without
that confession the investigation unquestionably would have
bogged, down. -
, But before that, another officer entitled to' the public,
sTn' of approval, is Bill Roach, state policeman with the joti
of enforcing the game laws. It was his vigilance that v$
suited' in the apprehension of the two men, Stewart and Arlo
Twiawejl. ,Il?id he not been on the job, and discovered the
two were topping beaver unlawfully, then the arrest may
never have be,en niade, nor would Wiley Blaricett, city police
if&iti; have noticed that one of their guns was stolen property.'
Nor would Dicfc Robertson, state police sergeant, have
tijuriged energetically into action along with Jim, Bill and
Wiley, and pursued the investigation until District Attorney
Carl jHelm was ready to file informations against the two
aiid hear them' plead guilty before Circuit Judge J. W.
Khbwles. . ' . r; ,,. Ivl;l1;'
y fiioa'e four officers,' and Sheriff Jesse Breshears' depart
ment and others who assisted them, in their work, did a very
nice .piece of work, and it should not be let pass by without a
word of pl-aise. It brings out forcibly the frct that we have
resourceful officers of the law who are continually working
in the interests Of our peace aiid our protection; arid who,
given a tangible clue, can intelligently and speedily carry
.wt'.otigh. to Uphold the law they have, sworn to enforce.
