As the indirect result of ope rat

M. F. Ellisoji, a Eugene printer,
arrested here, paid a fine of $150
in Eugene justice* court Tuesday
upon a charge of transporting
liquor, also a $25 fine for carrying
a weapon in his car. A companion,
Bay Stauffer, paid a fine of $85
for possession of liquor. The title
to Ellison’s car was yet in the
name of the agency which sold it
to him, which may prevent its con­
fiscation.
F. W. Beele, a third
man in the car, was not arrested,
as ho had no liquor.
Ellison and his companions were
returning home from
Klamath
Falls. A short distance south of
here they overtook and passed a
ear in which Deputy Sheriff Van
Svaverud was returning from Cali
fornia with two boy prisoners. The
officer gave chase ami followed
them into the city at a terrific
speed. In front of the First Na
tional bank building, Svaverud took
a chance on wrecking his own car
by forcing the other against the
curb. Neither car was injured.
The disinclination of Ellison to
stop his car for the officer led the
officer to believe that there must
bo boozo in it. Two half pints wore
