up on Saturday right. October 3. aa the
nian who entered that place and rlned the

make the case aKaitft West more con
clusive, the police lined him up with live
other prisoner of about the mim build
aaainst the walls of the station office.
He then requested Krick Huarby. propri

victim to tlie highwayman, to pick out
the man who held them up. Without
hrsltatlon all five men pointed to West.
laV Shown to Vlcttnts.
To make the Identification positive.
Petecttve Coleman, one of the officers
who arrete! West and the others, pro
duced a black ailk handkerchief that had
been severed In half and the tnis sewed
tojrether to make a scarf, which the high
wayman wore about the lower part of his
face Each of the victims rrcognlied
this aa the same kind of a mask worn
by the man who had held them up. West
nickel-plated revolver was also identified
a the same kind of weapon carried by
the highwayman. Detective Coleman
found both weapon and handkerchief In
the room occupied by West and another
man. whose record la being investigated
he the police
The capture of Vi and his subse
quent Identification Is regarded as one of
the best haul the police have made In
soma time. In addition to the robberies
he la believed to have perpetrated. It la
also possible, the police say. that he
tuMj hav Duirdered Fatrolman Sam S.
Young-, at Sellwood. several weeks ago.
The police are practically unanimous in
their belief that Wert, if he did not him
self murder the veteran policeman, can
shed some light on that affair. He Is
known to be. perfectly familiar with Sell
wood and vicinity, and la said to have
been mixed In. shady transactions in that
section of the city on previous occasions.
West stoutly denies any connection
whatever with the death of Patrolman
Tounir. and is equally emphatic In his
denial of being the Bast Side highway
man aa welL When he was positively iden
tified by the victims, however, and after
wards confronted by the weapon and
handkerchief, he was not ao braxen In
answering questions, but stiU maintained
a denial.
Wwl Now Vnder Parole.
West Is known aa a dangerous charac
ter. Soma time ago he waa arrested
with a man named Haywood, and charged
with having robbed the Hillsdale post
office. Owing to his we. he was given
leniency by the court, but Haywood is
now serving a sentence at McNeill's
loland. West was later sent to the Ore
gon Penitentiary, and waa recently pa
roled by Governor Chamberlain. Shortly
after being; allowed his liberty, he cam
upon Detective Hellyer In South Port
land and after that officer bad passed
him by without Interferlne;. he remarked
to a friend that had Hellyer attempted to
arrest him then he would have killed th
officer.
The person to whom West made this
remark Immediately visited the police
headquarters and told the authorities of
the threat, but before West could be
found he had left the city or gone Into
hiding. He Is also suspected of various
other crimes In addition to the murder
of Patrolman Toung.
liat night a restaurant at 90 First
street was held up, and later three men
on the Madison-street bridge were at

Christopher, the young fellow captured
early yesterday morning, and who has
been Identified by the patrons of the res
taurant, as well aa by Albert Nelson,
was arrested by Patrolman Van Overn,
on a charge of carrying; concealed
weapons. The oificer came upon htm,
acting In a suspicious manner, at first
and Main streets at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing' and. on Investigation, found a loaded
revolver in the young man's hip pocket.
He promptly placed the fellow under ar
rest and brought him to the station. Since
his identification by his victims. It is
probable that the charge will be changed
to a more serious one some time today.
The trio Is believed to have worked to
gether on several Jobs, and with this Idea
In view, the detectives are Investigating
every action of the suspects within the
past two months.
Tha saloonkeeper In whose place Patrol
man Young met his death will be
brought to the City Jail today for the
purpose of identifying West or one of
the other two as guilty of shooting the
officer. All three of the prisoners are
of about the same height, and If masked
and dressed alike. It would be hard to
distinguish one from the other, but tha
authorities believe that they will have
no trouble In tracing several crimes boras
to them before their Investigation Is concluded.

FEW ELK KILLED IN LINN
Hunters Known to Have Bagged
Less Than Dozen During Season.
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 11. (Special.)
Though but four more days remain of the
open season for elk, very few of the
big animals have been killed In this
county. Six or seven have been killed
on the headwaters of Crabtree Creek and
hunters have bagged three or four up
the South Bantiam River. But there are
yet several elk In the mountains of East
ern Linn County and as this will probably
be the last open season for many years
the animals will not become extinct here.
When the 1907 Legislature permitted a
lapse In elk protection It was generally
feared that this would mean the exter
mination of the animals, but unless there
has been far greater slaughter in other
parts of the state than there has here,
that fear has not been Justified.
The fact that the elk live in very inac
cessible places and the consequent diffi
culty entailed in reaching them is re
sponsible for the small number killed In
this county.
