He was found, with two cripples,
prowling about the rooms of Miss
Shaffer's house. When she confronted
McGuire he drew a revolver and kept
it aimed at Miss Siiaffer while he
robbed the room. He secured $3 In cash
and some -clothing. Then he and his
companions backed out of the house.
Detectives Snow and Coleman have
positive circumstantial evidence in ad
dition to the Identification of McGuire.
The men found with him gave the
names of James Jordan, Harry Peavey,
John Mc ul re. Under Arrest, Sus
pected of MoltlinK Up Woman,
H. E. Carpenter, Albert Williams, Elmer
Mason, George Dempsey and George
Brant. When the detectives surprised
the crowd they found that the eight
men had been sleeping in two beds. The
gang was eating supper when the offi
cers broke into the 'room. All of the
men arrested are known to the police
and are considered desperate. McGuire
was arrested on suspicion of having
blown a safe In Amity, Or., in January,

CHAUTAUQUA IS PLANNED
MOVEMENT IN LA. GRANDE
PROMISES TO BE ST7CCESS.
Effort Made to Interest Adjoining
Counties Town Now Making
Many Improvement.
Plans for the first Chautauqua in
Eastern Oregon are now under way at
La Grande and the beginning of what
promises to be a permanent Summer
feature in that community is assured
for next July.
John Collier, president of the La
Grande Commercial Club, who was In
Portland yesterday, said that several of
the leading Chautauqua, attractions al
ready have been secured.
"The enterprising women of La
Grande," said Mr. Collier yesterday, "se
cured a tract of land last Fall for what
is to be called the City Park, and they
have now signed a contract with a
Portland landscape architect for laying
out about 14 acres. Three thousand dol
lars will be expended in beautifying this
tract. Grounds adjoining will be used
for the Chautauqua campers and audi
torium sites. We are endeavoring to
Interest three adjoining oounties in the
enterprise Baker, Umatilla and Wal
lowa. The people of La Grande alone
have already subscribed for 600 season
tickets and we expect to sell 1,000, as
a preliminary guarantee. ,
"La virande is 'moving ahead rapidly.
Last year the Commercial Club pro
moted an irrigation enterprise with a
capital stock of $100,000. Of this stock
$80,000 was taken by La Grande peo
ple and the company has now been in
corporated. "We expect to begin a street-paving
campaign this Summer. The county has
just completed macadamizing one mile
of county road that leads to the
city limits.- The. city is now expected
to macadamize the connecting street to
the business district, where two streets
will be paved. "
"An enlargement of the railway shops
In La Grande has just been promised
by the O. R. & N., and will furnish
employment to 40 or 60 more men. La
Grande now has the largest railway
payroll in Oregon outside of Portland."
Mr. Collier Is also president of the
Merchants' Association of La Grande
and is in Portland on his way to Eugene
to attend the state meeting of retail
merchants.
