LIST OF CRIMES RECITED
Mexican, Arrested at Medford, Con

bnt Insists He Waa Xot
Aided by His Friend.
MEDFORD, Or.. Feb. SO. (Special.)
Telling a story of criminal opera
tions extending over a period of six
months with the bravado of a hardened
criminal and Joking with Prosecuting
Attorney Mulkey on the details ot his
crimes. Charles Leon, a Mexican, aga
21 years, Tuesday confessed in Jus
tice of the Peace Taylor's court to
robbing tha Model Clothing Company,
the Itogue River Electric Company,
the Southern Oregon Produce Company,
the A. A. Davis Flour Mills and the
Medford Distillery Company of clothes.
hats, flour, feed and wire and a cop
per colL
Throughout the recital of the con
fesslon Leon shielded his partner.
Pedro Lob us. but both were bound
over to the grand Jury, with bonds at
ISOO. The confession came when
Leon, confused by a series of ques
tlons, announced that he would make
a clean breast of everything. He
did so.
With a surprising faithfulness to de
tail he told of "spotting out" the places
he would rob and described minutely
the location of articles In the places.
He dented strenuously that Lobus had
anything to do with his crimes, but
constantly In his narrative he used
the phrase "we."
The plunder from the Model Clothing
Company, he said, was stolen by an
unnamed thief. Prosecuting Attorney
Mulkey tried in vain to make Leon Im
plicate Lobus in the crimes, but the
friendship formed In days on the ranges
of Texas, when both were cowboys, was
stronger than the law. He took all
the blame on his own shoulders and
overstepped himself a time or two In
his anxiety to protect his pal. He ad
mitted, that Lobus was to receive part
of the "swag." and that he helped chop
up a copper coll worth doo.

ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.)
Judge Taylor, referee in bankruptcy,
made an order today authorizing the
trustee of the Seaside Lumber & Manu
facturing Company, a bankrupt, to sell
the equity of redemption of the de
funct company's mill and timber hold
ings. The sale will be at public auc
tion and probably will take place about
April 10.
The equity was appraised at 110,
000, and if disposed of at a private
sale nothing less than J7500 could
be considered. By holding a public
auction, however, the highest bid can
be accepted. It is of little value to
anyone excepting the persons who
have purchased the mill and would
simply be a means of giving them ti
tle to the property without waiting
for the expiration of the year in which
the rlirht to redemption runs.
