C. Ilowlee, HUx-rintendent of the Deibute lrri(?ittion & Tower Company, into tin; U-lief that the little fellow wan their own off spring nay the Telegram. Her intention in thu deceiving Kowlee, an alleged, whm to caune him to deed bis property to the boy, the woman expecting to profit materially from the shrewd trick in the year to come, an welt an to receive more liberal financial treatment directly from the man who believed himself the father of the child. Afterwnrd ?he wanted to adopt the boy to legalize the turning over of property interests, and meeting with a stubborn re fusal from hia mother, according to Mru. Toinlin's account of the intereitiing affair, refutted to yield ptfeHeHfion of him, with the result the real mother plotted to take him away from biscustodians by force. IH l'MKH INDICTMENT Not the lea."l sensational feature of the affair, us now develop, ii the fact that Mrs. Kowlee in under indictment on the charge of plac inn Alice Francis, a ward of the Juvenile court, in the disorderly North End hmis - condu'ted by Dorothy Darlington. The infor mation charging her with this offense was filed hy Di.-trict At torney John Manning in the cir cuit court, August 8, and it is alleged the crime was committed last April li). The woman is at liberty on a bond of $;0O. The arregt of Mrs. Row lee on a warrant issued from the circuit court was made by the sheriff of Crook county. Up to date the authorities for various reasons nive endeavored with entire fcuc cess to keep tne public Irom knowing of Mrs. Kowlee a arrest. Dorothy Darlington pleaded guilty yesterday ln-fore Juvenile Court Judge Fnuer to contributing to the delinquency of Alice Francis and Essie Watkins. the wife of John Conrad, proprietor of the Pullman saloon, who conducts another tlisorderly North End es tahlishment, is to he tried on the sumo charge at the September term of court. Mrs. Rowlee was arraigned in the Juvenile Court hist night and entered a plea of not guilty, her hearing Iming set for Monday. To add to the complications of the sensational affair, which ram iiies in every direction, it is alleged hy Mr. Rowlee that the Francis girl, who acted as nurse for the Tomlin baby for eight months, has been trying to blackmail him, as serting not only that Mrs. Rowlee is her mother, but that she herself is the mother of VVitlani Dudley Tomlin, as Mrs. Tomlin declares, or ot uumon Kowiee, as Kowlee and his wife assert. Mr. Rowlee in the most positive language avers he is the father of Carlton Rowlee, or William Dudley Tomlin. He says he can prove this fact beyond a doubt. Mrs. Tomlin saya she has the most direct proof that such is not the case. In the presence of Rowlee and another person last night she emphatically rebuked Mrs. Rowlee for making such a claim, and it is Bind the woman remained quiet and made no response. Every thing tends to indicate that family skeletons galore will be dragged forth from their closets and rattled in the limelight of publicity when the affair reaches tho courts. "I am very sorry that this trouble has became public," said Mrs. Tomlin. "I do not desire anv notoriety, neither do I want to be placed in the light of attempt ing to kidnap my own baby. If my plan to take him had ended all right it could not have U-en called kidnapping. I went to the Oregon Hotel last night and had long talk with Mr. and Mr. Rowlee. "When my baby waa born', inl April. 1!K)5, Mrs. Rowlee came down from Bend, Or., and told roe that if I would let her take him she would not only give him a good home but would eecure for him all Mr. Row lee's projn-rty. She told me he was an English man, a man of peculiar tempera ment, and would leave all his pro rty to the child. I had to work for a living and let her take him, believing this would be the lest for the boy. It was In June, when he nan about 6 weeks old, that nhe took him away. PKOPEKTY DKEDKD OVKtt ".Since then I have been in formed by Mrs. Rowlee her hus band hag deviled all his projierty to the loy, which he will get a part at 21 years of age, if Mr. Rowlee is yet living, and the re mainder at Mr. Rowlee's death. If Mr. Rowlee died, I understand the boy is to get everything. Mrs. Rowlee came down here to be arraigned before the Juvenile Court on the charge of placing Alice Francis in a house of bad repute. While here she has en deavored to get me to relinquish all claim to my son, so that the and Mr. Rowlee may adopt him She lielieves this would legalize the transfer of proiierty to the child. When I refused she said they would keep him anyhow, and then I grew angry and, well, you know the rest." It is denied by Mr. Rowlee that his wife is responsible for the plac ing of Alice Francis in Dorothy Darlington's house. Carlton Kowlee is tny own loy," said Mr. Rowlee, "and know what I am talking about Of Mr. Tomlin, however, I have nothing ill to say. Alice Francis nursed my boy for eight months, from August, 1906, to April, 190' She now claims that Mrs. Rowlee is her mother and that she herself is the mother of my boy. These things can all be shown to be false. I have not the slightest fear of the outcome." When Mr. and Mrs. Rowlee read yesterday afternoon the ex elusive story of the prospective plan of Mrs. Tomlin to obtain possession of her chili, they sent the little fellow in charge of a nurse to the Home ot a menu in the suburbs. .Later tne nurse telephoned she would not care for the boy longer, as she had become convinced that "something wrong marked the affair, as shown plainly in The Telegram story." The child was then returned to the Oregon Hotel and has since been in the custody of Mrs. Rowlee. Monmouth and Drain Abandoned A special from Salem says that the board of regents of Oregon State Normal schools has re scinded its action of July 18, or dering that the Monmouth and Drain Normals bo operated this year ana instead a resolution was adopted declaring that the schools shall not be operated unless dona tions are received and that "no donations shall be received without the express understanding and agreement that no claim will be made for repayment by the state ot legislature." The faculty already elected at Monmouth was discharged and the executive committee author ized to elect a new faculty when funds are available. No faculty lias been elected by Drain Normal. Ex-President Ressler, of Mon mouth, says that his institution will meet the conditions imposed and that the school will run next year. Ex President Briggs, of Drain, could not say what the friends of that institution will do Saddle Found. In the road between Prineville and Lamonta ; owner can have same by ap- ulvina to G. W.

The stage line is ' under the management of the Cornett Stage & Stable company, and in addi tion to carrying the United States mails for the several towns on the line, the stages of the company carry passengers for the interior and a large amount of express matter, the towns in the interior being dependent upon this line almost exclusively for the trans portation of such supplies as are usually carried by the express companies or the railroads. The regular mail stage leaves Shaniko, the end of the railroad, for the interior at 6 p. m. daily, carrying the mail, express and pahsengers for points in central Oregon. Four horses pull the old Concord coach with its half-ton of mail matter, its express and human freight, and through the night all kinds of weather and over roads that at the best are rough, the 65 miles to Prinevilk one of the most important points in central Oregon and the distri buting point for all that section is reached by 8 a. m. of the follow ing day, in time for breakfast. Twice during the night horses are changed at the relay stations, and on the way some of the most dangerous roads are passed over, the run down into Cow Creek can yon being the worst on the line. An hour after the stage reaches Prineville the mail is ready for the next lag in the long race, and a new driver with fresh horses starts for the drive to Bend and Rosland, the latter over 65 miles from Prineville. Passing up out of the valley of the Crooked river, soon after leaving the city limits of Prineville, the traveler in the broad glare of the morning sun suddenly realives what the sage brush country really looks like. Greasewood, sagebrush and sand form the spectacle on which the eye rests. After the dinner sta. tion, half way tietween Prineville and Bend, is passed, the stage road leads over a slightly rolling plain covered with greasewood and stunted juniper trees, and on nearing Bend and the irrigation ditches near that place, white pine trees are found in ever increasing numbers. At Bend the stage stops an hour, leaving in the cool of the evening, with fresh horses for Rosland, where it arrives after midnight and often as late as 2 a. m. A halt is made here until 6 a. m. when a third driver takes charge of Uncle Sam's mail, de livering it safely at Silver Lake, 70 miles from Rosland, at 8 o'clock p. m., 50 hours after the start is made from Shaniko, a dis tance of 200 miles over roads that none but an expert Jehu would risk traveling over in daytime, let alone at night. The drivers on the stages of the Cornett company , are experienced men, at.d accidents have been rare on the run, being confined to minor breakdowns, and this on roads that bear thai, name only by courtesy. During the season when travel is heavy, a morning stage is run irom Shaniko to Prineville, the trip being made in daylight. In some respects this is preferable, but in the summer heat the major portion of the traveling public, having business at the Crook county capital, take the night stage, as the trip in the heat of the day is anything but pleasant. The Cornett company employs about 35 men, this in eluding the office force, the stage drivers and stablemen, and over 300 head of horses are in use or standing in the stables at the re lay stations between Shaniko and Silver Lake. I5end, the center of the Des chutes irrigation district, one of the towns reached bv the staee r- line, to which much of the travel in that section is now directed, has not been satisfied with the service, owing to the length of time required to moke the trip, and a new etage line, connecting that place witf. the end of the rail road at Shaniko, has recently been started, the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company backing the un dertaking. This is the second attempt to secure a direct line to Bend, an automobile line two years ago being the first effort in that direction. At that time an automobile road was built con necting with the Shaniko-Prine- ville road about 25 miles from the first-named place, and running from that point by way of Madras, Haystack, Culver, Redmond and Laidlaw. For a time large tour ing cars were kept on this run, and passengers for Bend made the trip from Shaniko in comparative com fort and in good time. The road was graded like a railway, bridges built like cattle-guards, where the road led through fences, and at in tervals along the road to prevent teams from traveling on the grade, and the project promised to be a success. , But some trouble was experienced with the devil wagons, and they were taken off the run. Now a new stage line, from Bend to Shaniko, following the same route passed over by the "bubbles," is in operation, and it is enjoying a generous patronage. This new line is the best equipped of any stage road in Oregon, and passengers make the trip with some degree of comfort. The stage coaches are modern spring wagons, built to order; leather up holstered seats, provided with high backs, give some chance for rest on the way. Good horses are in use and these are changed at frequent intervals, so that a good rate of speed can be maintained. At the meal stations provision has been made to regale the weary traveler, and one of the most remarkable innovations found is the excellence of the meals furnished. It is now possible to make the trip from Bend to Shaniko between bret.kfast and bedtime by going over this line, while the outgoing trip from " the railroad to Bend, 95 miles, is made between 6:30 p. m. and 11 o'clock the next morning a gain of about six hours over the other route, that by way of Prineville. It is the plan of the owners of the new stage line to run auto mobiles over a portion of the route, where this is practicable, connecting with the stages, and thus cutting down the time now required very materially. The new stage line does not yet carry the United States mail, but it is expected that it will soon have a mail contract for that route, as the towns on the line of the stage company can in this way be served with mail much earlier than under the present arrangements, and as Uncle Sam uel is usually quick to take ad vantage of the chance to save time in the transportation of mail, it is likely that the new line will be made use of for the handling of mail for a portion of the interior.
