T'outh Is Held in Endeavor to Lo-
. cate Parents Bearded Wanderer
and Lame Companion Are
. , Allowed to Leave Town.
Three etranger pals never stood be
fore the Municipal Court. There was
Dan Burns, near to 70 years, gray
eyed. gray-hairei and bearded like a
prophet; Harry McFarland, 32, lop
sided with lameness and smiling with
a. twisted grimace", and Eddie McFar
land, the novice, not yet 18. They were
vagrants.
Detectives Hellyer ana Tackaberry
arrested, the three several days ago
as they left a Front-treet old-clothes
store, where they had purchased a
suit for Eddie. Certain records and
articles in their possession appeared
to warrant their detention as "bunk"
operators.
The court wanted to know what
Harry McFarland had to say for him
self. Why, for instance, he carried a
.smudged subscription list setting forth
that he was crippled of arm and leg
and was the sole support of a small
daughter who suffered from infantile
paralysis. And why the boy was in
their drifting company.
McFarland rolled up his right trouser
leg. Along the shank lay a deep scar
fully a foot long. He tugged his coat
eleeve above an elbow. The arm was
swollen and twisted at almost a right
angle. Cripple Auks Chance.
"I can't work." eaid McFarland. "So
I sell water filters and small kitchen
articles. As long as a roan's sober and
doing the best he knows how, I think
he should have a chance. We met the
boy in Pocatello. and he came with us.
We ain't no relation, although the
name is similar. I've tried to do what's
right by him."
Dan Burns waggled his drift of
beam in speech. He sold shoestrings
and lead pencils, he told the court, and
followed the road wherever it led him.
The two McFarlands were chance com
panions of the way.
Why had Eddie McFarland left home
for the career of a hobo? Eddie had
quitted his father because of many an
argument about washing dishes. In
the "jungles" at Pocatello he met Burns
and McFarland. They took to the
"rods" together.
"I used to have to wash the dishes."
explained Eddie, with serious brown
eyes fixed upon the court. "Sometimes
I wouldn't start right away, and my
father would get sore and cuss me.
Then my mother would side in with
me, and my father would cuss her. I
took my mother's part. Finally I
couldn't stand it and I went to Twin
Falls to work. Only my mother knew
where I was. By-aqdrby I came back
to Pocatello. They was gone. I don't
know where they are, but I think they
are in Colorado."
Each Has Money.
"How much money have you?"
queried the court. McFarland had $57.
Burns had $46.
"Humph! That beats practicing
law," mused Judge Langguth.
"Judge, you don't know how long it
took me to get that together," ven
tured Harry McFarland.
Two great nuggets, of gilded babbit,
were found in the pockets of Dan
Burns. The officers contended that
theee were his stock in trade, the
wares of a true "bunk."
"They've never been out of my pock
et." objected Dan Burns, "since a man
give them to me in Pocatello." Eddie
McFarland assured the court, with
solemn emphasis, that he had seen the
"PnnntAlIrk traTisarfinn. anil that Tin n
was guiltless of guile In the matter of
the nuggets.
With 40-day suspended sentences and
an edict of banishment from Portland.
McFarland'e limp and Dan Burns'
whiskers went south some time yes
terday. Eddie McFarland was given
into the custody of the Juvenile Court.
His parents will be located if possible.
AUXILIARY IS FORMED

just completed 20 Tears of service with
Company E in the Oregon National
Guard. Mr. Wisendanger reported that
the boys at the border were all well,
and that the camp at Imperial Beach
was ideally located.

CHINESE CASE IS UNUSUAL
Lottery Operator Goes to Jail
Lack of Money' or Friend.
for
The lot of Lee Gow, Chinese lottery
operator, is unusual. In default of
friends and money he went to jail yes
terday forenoon, to serve out the $20
fine imposed by Municipal Judge Lang
ruth. On the contrary. Ah Yin. con
victed of visiting the game, blithely
tiaid his $10 fine and was released.
Cases where the Chinese permit one
of their race to remain in prison when
. ne will release, them are so rare
that Lee Gow's fate occasioned much
comment in Municipal Court circles.

DETECTIVES HOLD MUCH
NOT YET CLAIMED.
SPOIL
Man Arrested at Tncoma Bound Over
to Grand J a r-y R o 1 be ry of Klve

tigated the various robberies attrib
uted to him.

the spoils taken from at least three
residences, those of Mrs. M,
895 Gantenbein avenue: Jf. G. Wagnitz,
337 Morris street: and Martin Marks,
1007 Savier street.
That other Portland residences were
nnea by Hoffman, and the robberies
not reported to the police, is evidenced
by the following unclaimed list of
jewelry recovered by Detectives Hellyer
and Tackaberry: Masonic lapel but
ton, pearl stickpin, opal Btlckpin. gold
neckchain, sapphire and pearl stickpin,
gold neckchain, gold nugget, sapphire
ring, gold bracelet with initial "A,"

Bend Recruits Are Souglit.
BEND, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.)
Word has been received here from
Major Hiram U. Welch. recruiting
officer for the Oregon National Guard,
that he has opened a permanent office
for enlistments at The Dalles and that
he hopes to obtain a number of addi
tional recruits for the Oregon regi
ments from this section. Several young
men who had the matter under con
sideration when Major Welch was here
in July are now in corrcsuondenca with
Hartinan, him on the subject.
ENROLLMENTS NOW 100

TO CITIZENS CAMP.
Portland Office Will Enlist Men From
All Paris of State for Ameri
can Lake Enenmpment.
Enrollments are coming in well for
the American Lake citizens' camp, to
be held August 28 to September 23.
The Portland office, on Washington
street, near Broadway, will be kept
open to list applicants until Saturday,
August 26. Nearly 100 men have en
rolled their names at this office for
the American Lake camp training.
The Portland office will list men
from all parts of Oregon. Physical
qualifications are not rigid and. in
fact, it is said the work at the camp
is almost certain to improve the physi
cal condition of all enlisting. The
round of exercises., drills. regular
hours, hikes and target practice in
the open air Is recommended to prove
helpful to all who take the course of I
training.
Officers in charge of the local office
expect at least 600 citizens will avail
themselves of the opportunity to take
the American Lake training. They
hope to bring the total attendance to
1000. The -no-elty of the affair is
proving attractive to many, as it is
the first such -camp ever established in
the Pacific Northwest. It will be
modeled after the well-known citizens'
camp at Plattsburg. N. T.
