HA NEW MOM HATCH SCHEMES mmmm 3 1 IBANK ROBBER IS FORJEHTEHCE VIRGIL PERRINE IS GIVEN HIS 8EC0ND COMMITTMENT FOR ROBBERY AT MILWAUKIE FLAW FOUND IN PAPERS TO Wording of Indictment Makes Big Difference In Term of Years Giv en to Boy Criminal Goes to Begirt His Time Sentenced twice for the same rob bery of the the Mllwaukle State Hank lust. July, Virgil Perrlne took anoth er trip last Saturday under the custo dy of Sheriff E. T. Mass, and atarteJ in again to serve bis time at the Ore gon Slate penitentiary. The circuit Judge gave blm a term of 10 years flat In the state prison Saturday after it had been discover ed tbat the former sentence of from one to ten years was not legal under the indictment that had been re turned by the grand Jury. The mistake on the part of the court came from the wording of the lndlctmnnt that bad been returned. The grand' Jury found the evidence gainst Perrlne for the robbery of the bank and charged him with commit lug assault and robbery with a dan gerous weapon, The wording of the charge bad much to do with the term that could be giv en to the boy robber. Warden Seea Fault The warden of the penitentiary dis covered the fault of the committment and notified the sheriff tbat Perrlne would have to ba sentenced again. Sheriff Mass brought the boy back to the city Saturday morning anJ, with in an hour, he had been re-commltted to the state prison and began for the second time to serve bis sentence. In the nilnda of several of tb at torneys of the city, there Is a ques tion aa to whether the boy could not secure bis freedom because be had been sent to the state prison twice for the same offence. They hold that the second commitment la a violation of bis constitutional right to be plac ed In Joopardy for the same offence but once. They believe that be could be re leased upon a writ of habeua corpus and that his permanent freedom could be secured if the case were brought through tbe courts. It 1b said that others In tha prison have effected their release in the same way and thut the mistakes of the courts in passing the sentence have been re sponsible for their discharge. Perrlne says that the state prison is not nearly as bad aa it had been pictured to him. He tells stories of good food and plenty of hours for rest and thut the prison labor is not hard nor exacting. "As long aa a fellow behavea him self, there is no trouble coming to him," he said Saturday. "The work Is not hard and the food Is good. The onty objection tbat I hav is that they don't Issue pay checks on Saturday night". POPULATION, BREATHLESS, GAZES, A WED Out at Mplalla they have discovered something new. There one can see a crowd of eagereysd people, both young and old, Intently watching workers put up a tent and arrange mysterious planks and still more mys terious figures, until there shall be completed something never before seen in Molalla.- People are talking and watching closely ever movement of the men and now and then one can hear some citizen say, "I wonder how It works," or, perhapa, the speaker with some little insight into machinery will mutt-er something., to himself about engines, or wheels, or track. Out at Molalla they are putting up a merry-go-round, the first one ever In that city. It came Wednesday morning over the new railroad, and for tbe first time In their lives many persons saw an amusement device that seems never to grow old. -111 t ; I LA RETURNED I i -1 3L h ' ELEGANT HOME FOR COMMERCIAL CLUB KID DEPARTMENT MAKES BIG HIT RIVALRY AROU8ED BETWEEN CHILDREN OF VARIOU8 COUN TY SCHOOLS SPECIAL PRIZES WILL BE OFFERED Entries are Coming In From All Sec tlons and Students are Taking Jn how of Juvenile Features The juvenile department of the Cluckamas County fair, to be held September 24, 25, 26 and 27, promises to be one o ft he most Interesting sec tions of the big display.

RAIN ON SKULL ORIENTALS FIGHT IN CAR ON CAN BY SIDING AND ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED EACH ONE TELLS OWN VERSION Sheriff Does Not Believe In Story of Highbinder's Work and Thinks Fray Merely Result of Quarrel Hatchet blows rained on the head of Wong Yeng by Wong Bow injured the skull in two places and almost killed the Chinaman Thursday morning when the two were sleepers in a car an the construction line of the Portland, Eu gene & Eastern at Canby. Wong, Bow is now in tbe county jail awaiting preliminary action to be tak en against htm for the assault but the case will be continued until Yeng recovers enough from the wounds to be able to tell his story. Yeng claims that he was asleep In the car when Bow, his bunkmate, at tacked him. He made an effort to get to the door but as he tried to open it, the other rained blows on his head and body with a- hatchet Bow, on the other hand, says that Yeng was trying to open the door to let a high binder Into the car to kill him and that he merely beat Yeng in his own game. Sheriff E. T. Mass, who made the arrest does not believe the story of the highbinder and thinks that the two merely had an argument over other matters that lead to the fight That there are hatcbet men In the country, the sheiff csnnot believe and he thinks that the case is merely one of a brawl between the two orientals. Dr. H. A. Dedman, of Canby, dressed Yeng's wounds. His examination of the man showed that tbe bones of the skull have been injured in two places and that the wounds might prove serious ones. Though Yeng was able to board the car for Portland Thursday afternoon, he was still in a serious condition and the investigation into the trouble will await his recovery from tbe wounds.

In anticipation of the road connec tion, many new buildings have been erected, and some of them have not yet had their first coat of paint Tbe people of the city, however, have dec orated them with flags and bunting, and will have their little town in its gayest dress when the trains bring into tbe place the loads of visitors that are coming from all parts of tbe state. Special Trains Special trains are to be run over the road to Canby and will there take the Molalla branch line just completed. For the past few months loads of gravel and dirt and thousands of pounds of steel rails have been carried over the road by the construction trains that have worked seven days a week to get the track laid and bal anced on the day of the fair.

PORTLAND ROAD SENDS ITS CON STRUCTION TRAIN INTO LIMITS OF CITY RAILS REACHED MOLALLA SUNDAY CELEBRATION PLANNED FOR FRIDAY . Speakers Coming From Valley Towns for Jollification Roads Put on Special Rates From All Local Points The rails of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern entered the city of Molalla Sunday night, the construction train stopping beside the big warehouse which is filled with grain, waiting to be ' shipped. Although the track stretches away to the north in an un even line, the rails and ties on the top of the ground, gangs of men are making road bed as rapidly as possi ble. Next Friday the road opens official ly, and the biggest day of the history of Molalla will be celebrated. Tbe city expects 5000 people from all parts of the valley to help in the celebra tion, and Is making arrangements ac cordingly. Tents are being pitched to accommodate the visitors, and tbe town is being cleaned and dressed in a coat of bunting and flags that will hide the unpalnted newness of tbe buildings. Among the speakers will be presi dent Strahorn of the new road. Gov ernor West, Justice Thomas Mc Bride, and representees of Oregon City Commercial club as well as from other valley towna. Special trains are to be run from Porland and other cities further south in the valley, while other connecting lines have made inducements for people to visit the celebration, so a large crowd is expected. Although Molalla has bad line after line projected Into its territory, this is the first one that has reached lis goal. It's a joke In that section that the old timers refused to believe in the reality of the new road snd would climb to tbe top of tbeir barns every morning to see If it had flown away during the night before.
