He further admitted that the money
he thus procured by these fraudulen
reiirenentations left him just as easily
a.3 he obtained it through the click
of the ivory "bones-' In exciting ses

barbuda.
The police in their investigations
nnpnrthed several fake letters and
telegrams which Roleff admitted
having sent to himself. These let
ters were signed by Jennie Roleff,
the wife of his convenient imagina
tion.
According to the police, these va
rious appeals won ready sympathy
and ready cash from fellow Bulgar
ians. Marcoff, who now appears as
accuser against the luckless Roleff,
told the police he had lent Roleff ex
actly $4000 because his heart had been
touched by the hard luck stories.
Other Bulgarians have come forward
an preferred creditors against Roleff.
Claims in addition to the Marcoff
claim total more than $1000, say the
police.
But liquidation is to be unsatisfac
tory, admits Roleff. and the police
agree with him. When taken into
custody Roleff's total assets amount
ed to just $23. He had dropped the
last $100 in a session with barbuda
in a gambling game in the Manches

told the police.
Rolrff Works as Logger.
Roleff finally admitted he had been
working as a losger at Dee, Or. He
came to Portland to spend hia sav
ings and became initiated into the
north-end gambling games. When his
money was gone he conceived ' the
mortgaged farm and sick wife and.
hungry "kids" as an easy method of
procuring more funds for his gam
bling operations, he said, but luck
went steadfastly against him. He
admitted he never had been married,
nor did he ever have any children.
He is being held on a vagrancy
harge while further investigation is
being made. It has not yet been de
termined whether or not his fellow
Bulgarians will appear against him
in more serious charges.

ofttimes encounter unruly 'person.
according to Constable Goodman of
this city, who assisted Sheriff Elling
sen in a raid on the John Coy farm
residence a few hides below Bandon,
recently..
ConstikMe Goodman discovered two
fruit jars filled with supposed moon
shine and passed one over to the
sheriff. Mrs. Coy, who had been
standing by while the search pro
ceeded, grabbed the jar from the
sheriff, unscrewed the top and poured
the contents on the floor. But the
constable had the other jar and
thought that would be'sufficicnt for
evidence. As he drew out the second
Jar, Mrs. Coy had Just finished empty- I s:
Ing the first and this she threw
the constable with such good aim
struck the jar he was holding and
demolished it But there Was a small
piece of the bottom Jeft with some of
the liquid. Mrs. Coy attacked the
constable with the Intention of spill
ing the remainder and fought so
fiercely thai Goodman fled to the
cpen to escape her.
bheriff Eilingsert finally stonned
the pursuit and the evidence was
saved. It resulted in John Coy beintr
convicted at Bandon before Justice
Cbatburn and being fined $100.
