Peb Week, 10 Cevts ENTERPR RAIDER :, SWING, HIMSELF UP FUGITIVE POINTS PISTOLS IN AIR INDICATING DESIRE TO SURRENDER GIVES VIRGINIA OUTLAW HAPPY IN JAIL Capture Of Claude Allen Encourages Posse In Belief That Others Soon Will Be Arrested HILLS VILLE, Va., March 28. Starving, sleepless and fatigued, Claude Swanson Allen came out of the laurel thicket in the Blue Ridge to day, pointed two six-shooters toward the sky and gave himself up to the posse which for nearly two weeks has hunted him. Complacent and almost .happy, he sat tonight, sheltered from a .driving storm in the little brick jail a stone's throw from the Carroll Courthouse, where, March 14, the Allen gang vengefully killed the judge, the pros ecutor, the Sheriff, a juror and a by stander. All day the posses, divided into small numbers, had been following a trail thought to be that of Wesley Ed wards, a nephew of the Aliens. , Sud denly Detective Lucas and four men saw a figure creeping stealthily through the undergrowth. The posse threw their rifles to their shoulder and Allen stepped out into the road, his hands upraised, a pistol in each. "I m glad to get a chance to come in," he said. "I haven't slept in a bed since the shooting. I'm hungry." The young mountaineer swung in between the men of the posse and they started back to Hillsville. Claude's capture gives renewed hope that the capture of the three remaining fugitives Sidna Allen, his nephew Friel and Wesley Edwards. Claude stoutly denied any know ledge of the hiding place of the three.

These special contests are a boon to the winners for the votes which win them also count toward winning the grand prize a Ford five passenger, fore-door touring car. To the person who deposits the greatest number of votes during the fifteen days which these contests run, belongs a $15 merchandise coupon on one of Oregon City's prominent stores. These coupons give the winner his or her unrestricted choice of $15 worth of merchandise in the specified store. Every vote cast, in an effort to win these coupons, counts in the grand totals of the various, contest ants when the final count is taken next June. So it is a chance to win double money therefore worth, fight ing for. Miss McCord won the last special contest and is working like a Trojan to "cop the prize" on next Saturday. It is the same old story however Every candidate is doing the same thing, so it is hard to pick the winner this far in advance. Kent Wilson's unexpected entrance some time ago put ay former ideas away, as Dr. Os ier suggests doing with men.when they reach their sixtieth birthday And while speaking about it, wouldn't the good doctor's suggestion make fine borthday celebration for all of us?

U'Ren Saturday night at the opera house to debate single tax, Prank Jaggar Thursday announced that he would oppose Mr.C'Ren. Mr. Jaggar has made a study of the ques tion and his friends say he. will, have no trouble in exploiting the fallacies of the Henry George Theory. Judge Dimick and Mr. U'Ren debated the question at Beaver Creek several weeks ago, and two or three days lat er Mr. U'Ren issued his challenge. Judge Dimick said he would be glad to debate with the single taxer in this city, out could not do so Saturday night for he had an appointment which was made before the letter was re ceived. Besides Judge Dimick de clared he wanted to wait until a tax roll was published which Mr. U'Ren mentioned in the Beaver Creek debate. s Davis Marries Couple W. A. Clayburn and Murlbretta Thompson, of Portland, were married Wednesday in this city, .the Rev. S. P. Davis officiating. Plans for the proposed elevator at the bluff were discussed at a meet ing of the Committee, of the Live Wires Thursday evening and it is vir tually j.ssured that the improvement will be made. The plans were re ported by O. D. Eby, chairman and W. L, .Mulvey, secretary, and Ernest Rands furnished preliminary esti mates. Contractors have been con sulted and kpproximate prices of the two best types of elevators will be re ported at the quarterly meeting of the Live Wires next Tuesday evening. Everybody so far consulted 13 in fav or of the immediate construction of an elevator in a central location, and no opposition is expected. .

Hedges, R. O. Young, A. B. Buckles, Charles Parker, Joe Justin and E P. Carter. Gilbert L. Hedges, who led Willie Hoppe Par ker the first night went down to igno minious defeat. W. Stoke3 clearly outclassed the Ozark Mountain cham pion. It was apparent at the start that Hedges had lost hi3 stroke, and that nothing but 'cannon shots, mul tiplying his chances for success, could save time. Time and again his cue ball went around the table at least twice and connected with the object ball, but not often enough to snatch victory from such a consistent player as Stokes. Dr. Clyde Mount, who had for an opponent Joe Justin, was not in form. He played hurdle shots when he In tended to make draws, and draws when tried to make follows. The cus ions too were in the wrong places for him. Otherwise he did admirably. Justin proved the champion taciturn player of the meet. He al?o had his risibles well under control. Not. once during the game did he utter a word and not once did lie smile a smile. It was the consensus of opinion that Joe was out to defeat his worthy oppon ent, and he did. J. E. Hedges played just like he didn't have a cent, and Dr. L. G. Ice who essayed the role of opponent nev er had a look in. In fact Hedges played a scientific game throughout, and was heartily cheered when vic tory perched upon his banner. It was remarked as he gracefully withdrew from the table after the ovation had subsided, that he had a great future before him at billiards if he would ouly grasp it. This encomium elicited no response from the hero who at that moment was the cynosure of all eyes. John Cooke, who tried to play R. O. Young 100 to 90, like all of the other handicap men, met his Waterloo. Young made 45 while Cooke was mak ing 42. The last half of the game promises to be exciting and Cooke says he will win yet. ' . F. C. Burk evidently had matters re lating to the city council on his mind, for he was clearly outclassed by A. B. Buckles. However, Burk thinks he will redeem himself next time. E. P. Carter led I, T. Rau by a score of 44 to 24. Carter played care fully, and was confident throughout, while Rau showed traces of nervous ness. ,The tournament will be continued Monday night. BOOSTER J)AY TO SET NEW BEGORD COMMITTEE DECIDES UPON .IN DUSTRIAL SHOWS INSTEAD OF CIRCUS VARIETY ALL EXHIBITIONS FREE TO PUBLIC Rose Society Committee Confers With Promotion Department Regard ing June Carnival The Publicity Department of the Commercial Club has decided to have the big horse show and booster cele bration Saturday, April 27. The ad vertising and boosting,, under the sup ervision of Marshall Lazalle, secretary of the department, will be started at once.

Harding and Mrs. Rosina Fouts rep resenting the Rose Society met with the Publicity Department and the rose show was discussed. The exhibition will be held in June, and all the stores will be asked to make theday a bar gain one.

It is the desire that the sign be at least 100 feet above the span to it Canbe seen by persons on steam and elec tric trains. The sign which probably will contain the words, "Oregon City," is intended to be permanent and will be illuminated every night.

RUNAWAY STOPPED BV Mrs. Stephen Chambers, formerly Miss Anna Johnson, who lives at Four teenth street "near Main, proved a he- jpoine Thursday morning when she stopped a runaway horse. The horse was hitched to a milk wagon. The milkman was delivering milk at a res idence near Twelfth street and left the horse standing on Washington street, between Eleventh and Twelfth. ' The horse became frightened at an automobile and started to run at a furious rate up Washington street, where, near the Oregon City Hospital, Mrs. Chambers ran into - the road, grabbed the runaway by the bridle and stopped it. Her bravery was wit nessed by many persons attracted to the scene by the rattling of the milk 9 iFREE I Today 1 .1 '1 IV I d cans at i o ciock f 6 cans at 8 o'clock I 6cansat9:30oclock . i I Chances on 10c tickets f I only a I THE 1 IgrandI cans and bottles in the .wagon..
