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.

E
Clackamas county has started a road
campaign. The first contract, under
the system, was let Friday when W. H.
Counsell was given the construction
work of one mile of macadam along the
River road out of Milwaukie.
The Improvement of that mile will
cost $6720, nnder the terms of the con
tract Other pieces of road are to be
tnproved by the county court as rapid
ly as the commissioners feel that there
is enough money in the treasury for
the work and that tbe improvement is
Justified.
The court has already authorized or
declared Its intention to authorize the
construction of bridges over several of
the streams running through tbe
county.
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.
HATCHET MAN BOUND
OVER. TO GRXND JURY
Wang Bow, the Chinaman who Is
charged with assault upon Wong Yeng
with a hatchet at Canby, was bound
over to the grand Jury by Justice
Seivers Monday on a $2000 bond
which he failed to meet and was plac
ed In the county jail.
The action of the court was taken
on the complaint filed alleging that
the Chinaman has struck his bunk-
mate several times with a hatchet and
had injured his head. The fight oc
curred at Canby, where the two were
working in the construction gang on a
road.

and the new line is opened.
Gigantic preparations for the en
tertainment of the crowds are going
on in the little city and the buildings

and flags. All over the town new life
has shown Itself In the activities of
the people who are about to be con
nected with steel rails with tbs larger
cities of the state.
Crowds from Oregon City, Portland
and many of the other towns and cit
ies of the state are to pour Into Mo
lalla and Canby on the day that the
first train will steam over tha recently
laid rails and will pull up beside the
depot tbat bas just been finished.
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

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.
Speeches will be made at the cele
bration by several of tbe prominent
persons of the state. President Strat
horn of the line, and many others are
on the program. It will be the biggest
day in the history o ftbe town. It Is
an epoch In the city's life. A full
realization of the importance of tbe
connecting line has been brought
home to the people of the city and
they are planning their celebration on
a magnificent scale in proportion to
its importance to their commercial
prosperity.

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.
