MASS TELEGRAPHS WARRANT AHEAD
Success of State's Case May Depend
Largely Upon Return of Pris
oner Here Fourteen
Others Indicted
Word was received at the sheriff's
office Monday that efforts were being
made in Dallas, Tex., to get "Blackie"
lies, the aleged ringleader of the riot
in the course of the telephone strike
at Oswego, .released from custody on
habeas corpus proceedings. lies was
picked up by the Texas authorities,
and is being held there for the arrival
of Sheriff E. T. Mass, ji this county,
who started Sunday morning with ex
tradition papers to bring him back.
It is said that lies started the fight
at Oswego, oh May 19, as a result of
which Fred Ream, of Willamette, was
shot and crippled for life by J. C. Ains
berry, the parole breaker and escaped
convict employed by the Home Tele
phone company as a strike-breaker
during its trouble with the linemen's
union. lies was arrested with the 15
men now under indictment - by the
grand jury, but jumped bail after ar
raignment and left the Pacific slope.
News of the attempt to free lies
was telegraphed to Sheriff Miass en
route, and the Clackamas county of
ficial stoppd off on his trip long e
nough to wire ahead to Dallas a tele
graphic warrant, and to send word to
the Texas authorities that he was on
his way. It is understood that the ef
fort to free Has is being marie by at
torneys engaged by the electrical
workers' union. Uunless lies is
brought back and placed on trial, the
state may be unable to prove its
case in the riot charges against his
co-defendants, as they may claim that
lies was the only one of the party who
committed any overt acts.
Every effort will be made by the
state to prevent lies being relased, as
even his own friends testified, at their
preliminary hearing, that he had used
violence in the course of the Oswego
trouble. In fact their testimony was
so general upon this point that it was
made to appear that lies not only
kicked one of the strike-breakers in
the face, precipitating the fight, but
he was also blamed for the throwing
of peavies, crowbars and other missies
that enlivened the encounter between
the striking linesmen and the men
who were working with Ainsberry, the
ex-convict.
The Home Telephone company, it is
said, has employed detectives to keep
tabs on lies and if the Texas courts
should free him before the arrival of
Sheriff Mass, it 'is declared that he
will be shadowed and re-arrested.
MYERS NOW FACES
Lawrence Myers, who was arrested
Saturday for shooting at his neighbor,
J. N. Bassellau, and who appeared for
preliminary huaring before Justice
Sievers Monday, faced a second
charge upon his appearance in court,
and was bound over in $2,500 bonds on
both charges to await the action of
the grand jury.
The second charge is that of at
tempting a felony, it being alleged by
Besselleu that Myers threatened to
kill his son, Charlas Besselleu follow
ing the attack he made upon Besselleu
senior.
The charge grows out of the effort
Myers made to shoot W. J. Bowerntan,
another rancher, who ran towards him
after he had shot at Besselleu, and
who only prevented Myers from shoot
ing him by grappling him.
Myers told Bowermau afterwards
that he mistook him for Bessalleu's
son, and is alleged to have said, at the
time he raised his gun: "I might as
well get you. now."
Myers furnished bonds in the re
quired amount and was released late
Monday afternoon. The grand jury
will not meet again until September.

STATE EXECUTIVE KEEPS HIS
PROMISE; SHOW FEARS TO
LOSE REPUTATION
SUNDAY IS, FILLED WITH THRILLS
Rev. T. B. Ford Tells West That Min
isters Were Satisified at Sher
iffs Plans, Passes Blame
to SchuebeJ
Governor West came to Oregon City
Monday afternoon to attend the circus
that he forbade playing Sunday, but
the circus itself never came, so the
governor didn't get to see the show.
But he had lunch with J. E. Hedges,
tha circus attorney, and learned why
the circus itself wasn't on hand. It
seems that after the governor had
promised to whoop it up for the
show, the management thought things
over, and decided they would rather
disappoint Oregon City and the gover
nor than cancel their date at Hills
boro, believing that getting the repu
tation for not showing when they
billed themselves would be more detri
mental than otherwise.
W. E. Burlock, in advance for the
show, was in town for a short time
Monday, and said that pretty soon his
circus would be out of the state, and
beyond possible interference by his
excellency, and that then he might
have a few things to say in regard to
the Oregon City episode that would be
worth hearing. While in the gover
nor's bailiwick, however, he consid
ered silence the better part of dis
cretion. He added that the Sells
Floto circus had been allowed to show
at Hillsboro on Sunday once, and no
objection had bean made, and said al
so that a circus had once shown in
Eastern Oregon on the Sabbath.
Many people came in to town from
the country Monday to see perform
ance, and to sea the governor see it,
but there was not half the turnout
that was on hand Sunday.
Stopping the circus Sunday was
quite exciting for a Sabbath happen
ing. The governor, Tom Kay and -five
strapping pententiary guards arrived
at nine o'clock. W. E. Burlock, of
the show people, at once buttonholed
his excellency and led him away. Tom
Kay went snooping around and ar
rested three people for violating the
liquor law, and the five penitentiary
guards paraded around the Btreets.
Gov. West, Mr. Burlock and Attor
ney J fan L. Hedges, representing the
circus, adjourned almost at once to
the law offices of U'Ren & Schuebel,
and a minute later Mr. Schuebel, sum
moned from home, chugged up. With
City Engineer Nobel as a gallery they
then threshed out the situation. Mr.
Schuebel accused the circus people of
"trying to slip one over," and de
mand to know why Judge Eakin, at
Astoria, had been sought for an in
junction against the sheriff, and why
the papers were filed just before clos
ing time Saturday, when Judge Camp
bell, of the circuit court, was in town.
Mr. Hedges denied that there had
been any effort- to "slip something
over," saying that he had tried to get
Judge Campbell to act Friday, had
heard he was In Tillamook and did
not know when he would be back.
The conference got back to ths law
in the case again, Mr. Hedges stating
his reasons for believing that such a
performance was not a violation of the
law. During this the Rev. T. B. Ford
entered the office, and said that he
would like to set the ministers' side
of the case before the governor.
"This matter came up at the regular
meeting of the local pastors," said he.
"We believed it was a violation 'of the
law. We complained to the sheriff,
and he referred us to the district at
torney. Mr. Stipp, the deputy, ren
dered an opinion on the case which
we considered no opinion, ind put it
up to the sheriff. Later he gave a fur
ther opinion saying that the sheriff
could arrest the person or persons
who were actually responsible for
keeping the circus open, and when the
sheriff agreed to do that we were sat:
isfied. Governor. I want you to be
lieve that this is not a ministers' fight.
We did not apueal to you, we did not
ask Mr. Schuebel to appeal to you. He
did that himself. We were satisfied
with what the sheriff had promised he
would do, and we would have been
satisified if he had done that. That
he was restrained from doing it, did
not in the least alter our approval of
his course."
Governor West then gave his side:
"Gentlemen," said he, "I am not
straight-laced in this matter. There
seems to be a difference of opinion in
regard to the public feeling upon this
subject. Mr. Schuebel tells me that
nobody but 'saloon bums' want this
circus to play and that everyone else
is the city is opposed to it You other
gentlemen tell me that only five per
cent of the people are opposing it. I
do not know which is right, but I do
know this: these circus people have
obtained an injunction preventing
county officers from carrying out the
law, and when that is dope, I am go
ing to take a hand in the game. It is
establishing a precedent, and if it is
allowed to go on, every bootlegger In
the state will be getting out an injunc
tion. Now I advise you show people
not to try to give a performance here
today."
"Well, governor, I still think it is
not a violation of the law to give a
performance," said. Mr. .-Hedges. "Now
supposing the circus goes' to the
grounds, puts up its tents, and gives a
parforuiance. what will you do?"
"I will declare martial law, and take
charge of things. I will continue to
keep charge until ; the injunction
against the sheriff is dissolved, and
then we will see what we will do." ,
The discussion was the resumed for
some minutes, when City Engineer
Noble, who was present, broke in
with some comment.
"Now you keep out of this," said
the governor. . "You are not concern
ed in this matter at all. I'll tell you
what, gentlemen, let us stop this
thing. , I have some men here in town,
and if there is an attempt to give a

TOM KAY'S CASE ON;
TWO PLEAD GUILTY ;
Thomas Kay, himself, special dep
uty for the governor in matters of law
violation, appeared in Oregon City to
day and arrested C. Hartman, agent
for the Weinhard Brewery company,
Roy Cox and Nicholas Humphreys, the
latter proprietors of the cold storage
planf where the special deputy yes
terday discovered a keg of beer be
ing delivered to an automobile party.
The three -prisoners taken yesterday
the man who delivered the keg and
the autpsists who recived it were
utilized merely as witnesses.
Cox and Humphrey pleaded guilty
to sailing liquor on Sunday, and were
fined $50 each by Justice Sievers,
who then suspended sentence. Hart
man pleaded not guilty, and his case
will be argued Wednesday. Deputy
District Attorney Stipp, who is prose
cuting for Kay, says that while the
keg of beer may have been ordered
Saturday, the delivery that completed
the transaction was not made until
Sunday, so the Weinhard people are
guilty of selling beer on Sunday.

Who Gives You the
Poorest Service
Is it the merchant who has the
brightest store, tha most attrac
tive things to sell-you, a polite
and intelligent sales force to
serve you and an all 'round genial '
home-like, welcome atmosphera
awaiting you in his. shop and
then tells you about it in his ad
vertising? IS it from that kind of merchant
that you receive poor service? It
is not probable.
The chances are ten to one that
tha poorest service and the least
satisfaction come from the shops
where business is done under an
tiquated conditions; whera the
merchandise is badly chosen and
badly displayed; where salespeo
pla are not well-informed and
courteous and obliging; and
where the merchant either has
nothing much of interest to adver
tise or else "doesn't believe in ad
vertising." There MAY be exceptions but,
if so, they indicate the rule. . The
best service comes from the busK
ness that has so much confidence
in its methods and its merchan- -dise
that it is a part of its splen
did service to te'.l you about it. -
Faithful ad-readers seldom go

GLADSTONE STREET
E
Streat grading in -Gladstone is be
ing rushed ahead just at this time, and
it is expected within a few weeks the
entire program of improvement map
ped out for this summer will be com
pleted. Dirt taken from the grades in
the eastern part of the city is being
used to raise the grade of Dartmouth'
streat on the west side, and to fill in
the low parts of Portland avanue, and
already the subgrades on these
thoroughfares have, been nearly com
pleted. Surfacing will be added in the near
future, and the whole mass rolled, af
er which it is possible that the new
streets may be oiled, covered with a
light covering of sand and rolled
again. While it is late in the year for
road oiling, it is believed that-
finishng on the newly graded high
ways will prepare them better for
service, and will add to their wearing
qualities.
Gladstone has its own road oiling
plant and equipment, and with its
municipal gravel pit is in a position
to complete its street work in fancy
style at the minimum of cost.

GEORGE OGLE, FORMER REPRE
SENTATIVE, IS DROWNED
IN 40-FOOT HOLE
WIFE WITNESSES FIGHT FOR LIFE
Aid Called By Young Woman Who is
Wading Near Treacherous Spot
at Time of Accident Long
Search for Body
While spending the day on the
shores of the Molalla river with his
wife and her neice, George Ogle, one
of the prominent political figures in
tha county during the early years of
the twentieth century, and well known
as a rancherand leader in local af
fairs, was drowned in 40 feet of water
underneath the covered bridge at Mo
lalla Monday. '
About noon Mrs. Ogle's . neice, a
Mrs. Bur'ey, decided to go in wading,
and was paddling about near the shore
when Ogle decided that the river was
too tempting to resist, and joined her.
Just beyond where the young woman
was wading the bed of the stream
shelved away rapidly, and discovering
this Ogle, who wa3 regarded as a good
swimmer, plunged out into deep wa
ter. v .
He was splashing about, shouting to
his wife and the young woman, when
he was suddenly seized with cramps,
and sank beneath the surface of the
stream. He fought his way up again,
however, and his wife saw the top of
his head rise for a minute about ths
water. A second later he sank again,
and no further trace of him was seen.
Mrs. Ogla was prostrated, and - her
neice ran barefoot for aid, summoning
many to the scene.
Though the- accident occurred at
midday, it was, not until late Monday
night that the body was reovered, ly
ing at the bottom of a 40-foot "hole"
in tha river bed. Arrangements for
the funeral have not been completed,
but the remains will be "buried in
Adams cemetery, near Molalla.
Mr. Ogle was at one time a member
of tUe nous a of representatives, be
ing elected as a populist. He served
in etae lower chamber for the legisla
ture at the same time as W. S. U'Ren,
and after the completion of his terra
was known as a leader in public af
fairs. He was about 45 years of age.
He had been married but a compari
tively short time, and leaves no chil
dren to share his widow's grief.
Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Tietze,
