BAD MAN CAPTURED
Police Arrest a Skillful Safecracker,
ROBBED BLUE MOUNTAIN ICE CO.
JL H. Long; "Gave Himself ATray" tr
Showing: Some of the Checks
Taken. From, the Safe
He Blevr Opes.
Wdth a quantity of burglar's tools in his
possession, also a mask and several
stolen bank checks, A. H. Long, alias
J. A. Long, was arrested last night by
Detectives Snow and Kerrigan and Po
liceman Dubois, charged with breaking
into and robbing the safe of the Blue
Mountain Company, 247 Stark street, last
Thursday morning.
The clews which led to Long's arrest
were the prisoner's indiscretion in flour
ishing around two of the bank checks
stolen from the safe of the Blue Moun
tain Company, and a "tip" received by
the police from a friend- Long is 6 feet
tall, is of slight build, has a mustache,
and among the articles found in his room
was a gray campaign hat. The man
who recently shot and killed Fortner, the
Monta. villa engineer, was a tall man of
slight build, and who wore a campaign
hat.
When the Blue Mountain Company's
cafe was robbed of 5125 in cash and sev
eral checks and notes, a portion of the
checks was placed by the robber in a
convenient mailbox, and afterward mailed
to the Blue Mountain Company. Detec
tives Snow and Kerrigan noticed, when
they were placed on the case, that several
of the stolen checks were not In the par
cel returned by the Pcstofflce authorities.
The question was who still had those
checks?
Several likely "suspects" in Portland
were "shadowed," and what the police
call "Information received" led Policeman
Dubois and the detectives to believe that
Long knew something about the robbery.
They watched him specially, as they knew
him to be a former employe of the Blue
Mountain Company, and they were mor
ally certain that the man who committed
the robbery was one who knew a good
deal about the Interior arrangements of
the company's office. In the shadowing
process they discovered that Long had
served one year in a California prison for
burglary, and had also been sentenced
to one year's imprisonment at Salem for
highway robbery. The climax came, how
ever, when the police discovered that
Long had been out of employment for
two months, and that he had been guilty
of the indiscretion of boastfully showing
to his associates several of the stolen
checks of the Blue Mountain Company.
It was supposed that Long's object In
showing these checks was to try to raise
money on them, but the plan failed.
By this time the police decided that they
had enough evidence to warrant their ef
fecting Long's arrest. He lived on Mar
ket street, near Front, and the two de
tectives and Policeman Dubois visited the
place last night, ostensibly to engage
board. They chatted about what the
landlady ought to charge them per week,
and casually asked about the other board
ers In tho house. Long's name was men
tioned. "Long, who was an expressman?" Joy
fully asked one detective. ""Why, I know
him. I'll go and see him now, if he is in
the house."
Tho landlady pointed out the room,
where Long was resting after supper,
and the three police officials softly went
there. Long was found in a dreamy at
titude, and before he knew what had
happened the three men were before him
with drawn revolvers. His hands went
up mechanically, and one detective re
lieved Long of his double-shooter and a
cartridgebelt which he wore around his
waist. i
"What is this all about? I ain't fiona
nothln'," blustered the prisoner.
"We know," briefly said Snow. Then
the detectives searched the room and
came upon a valise filled with burglar's
tools bits, files, fuse, drill and a small
sledge-hammer. In the collection were
also a mask and a campaign hat.
'Tve got nothln' to say," observed
Long, eyeing these proceedings with pro
found dissatisfaction. Meanwhile the
people at the house were greatly dis
tressed, and said they did not know that
Long had "slch things" in his room.
Long was taken to the police station,
where he refused to make any statement
whatever.
The police also discovered that the
prisoner had had an express wagon, which
he sold two months ago. and that he was
a member of the Thirty-fifth Regiment
of United States Infantry which sailed
from here for service in the Philippines.
The police suspect Long of other offenses
against the law.
LENIENCE MAY BE SHOWN.
Burglar Scott Will Be Called on to
Ansvrer Two Charsres.
Two informations were filed against W.
W. Scott in the Criminal Court yesterday
by the District Attorney, and he will
be arraigned before Judge G-eorge on
Monday. Que of the informations charges
Scott with having, on November 17, en
tered the residence of Frank Colllnson, at
Thirty-fifth and Clinton streets, and with
having stolen a carving set, knives and
forks and other articles, all valued at ?6L
The other Information charges Scott
with entering the dwelling house of A.
W. Ocobock. on Hoi lad ay avenue, and
with the larceny of property worth 59L
Scott, since his arrest, has confessed to
a lanre number of burglaries, and has
restored considerable property to tho po
lice, who turned it over to the owners.
In the Judgment of District Attorney
Chamberlain, It was enough to file two
charges against Scott, and he can be given
a long enough sentence on these to cover
the other offenses. Scott will probably
plead guilty. In view of the fact that he
made a clean breast of everything, and
gave back all of the property he could,
tho authorities are not disposed to be too
hard on him.
- A BOY'S CHRISTMAS
Is a great event in his life. The presents
he receives help to form his character, if
rightly selected. For a boy in Portland,
nothing could excel as a present a year's
membership ticket In the Junior depart
ment of the T. M C. A. The "gym.,"
the games, etc., are all "fun" to him now,
but when he gets old he will look back
and recognize their educative value.
Cost, $1 initiation; $5 annual dues.

Lis than one month ago we made the above
announcement, and since then we have sold thousands

instruments, and still our music store is mest complete.
Several parties have expremd a desire to take the
business and run it as soon as the stock is cut down
so they can afford to buy the remainder. More than
20 years have we been in the music business here at
Portland, but in the very near future we move to San
Francisc. where our headquarters are to be here
after, Now, we do not want to taXe a single article
with us to California. Every piano and organ we
possess, every piece of music and every musical Instru
ment we are going to try very hard to sell right here.
We have no $600 pianos to sell for $199.99, but
we are selling good makes of pianos for about half
what they are sold for elsewhere. And we have a
lot of organs, among them the Hasen & Hamlin and
the Estcy, which can now be procured from us at a
very low price. Either a piano or an ergan will
make an ideal Xmas gift What is home without a
piano or an organ on Christmas day! But if per
chance these are beyond your reach secure from us a
maslcal instrument of some kind. Tomorrow, "the
day before Christmas" we shall make some tremen
dous cuts on seme very valuable instruments. We
submit some prices. They will surely interest you.
