Captain L. 0. Mastors, of tho

cooler than at any other tlmo durlim

Vaughan and Spencer Found.
lo Have served lime in
The State Prison
Sheriff Gage and Cy Noah, acting
deputy sheriff, who took Vaughan,
Spencer, Payton nud Mrs. Cnpplous
to the stato penitentiary nt Salem last
week, returned to Coos Hay on the
Btage by way of Drain nnd Gardiner
Into Inst night and report tliut both
Vaughan nnd Spencer have served
time in the state prison.
The first inkling that tho sheriff
had that Spencer wns an ex-convlct
was when tho latter told him. as they
stepped from the train nt Salem:
"You may bo surprised when wo
got to the prison, sheriff, hut 1 havo
been In thoro before."
When the prisoners had been plac
ed Inside Sheriff Gage learned that
Siicncer had been discharged from thu
penitentiary on July lill last after
serving a sentence for lorgory. Ho
had come almost directly to Coos
Hay after being released.
The Cooh county officers wero nlso
Informed that Vaughan, sentenced
for horse stealing, had also served a
number of years In tl.o stato prison,
but they did not learn on what charge
ho had been picvlously sentenced.
Doth officers stated that Mrs. Lot
tie CapploiiH, sentenced for shooting
at Klmer Parkinson, suffered con
siderably from Illness on the way to
Salem and tlu.t a physician had to ho
called to attend her both at Gardiner
ami Drain. A p! yslclnu at the latter
town declared that the woman was
suffering seriously liom kidney
trouble and appeared to be Indignant
that a woman lu such a stato should
ho sentenced to spoud years lu prison.
Iteiweeu Scottshurguud Drain Mrs.
Cnpplous had to lie lifted from the
stage on numerous occasions and was
unable to look after herself. Her
husband, who accompanied the party
to Salem as a deputy, did what ho
could to aid 1 or. but she was suffer
ing greatly and Cy Noah stated today
that tho people of Gardluor and Drain
had offered to start a petition for
her parole so that she could receive
proper attention.
SInro tho arrival of tho officers"
from Salem there Is talk of starting
a petition In Mnrshlleld askliiK that
Mrs. Cnpplous ho paroled. While
tl ori is no (luestlon as to her net.
tliero Is a reeling growing that lu view
of the fact that husky male criminals
nave boon puroU'd. tho wealiiions or
tho woman has aroused tho belief
that she should have been given an
other chiiuco. She persists In l.or
statement tlmt hIio fired to senre Pnr
kliibon ami could havo shot him If sho
had wished to.
Travelers coming lu on tho Drain
stage report a lively trip down tho
const, stating that the high tldo
swayed the vehicle lu such a manner
ns to indicate that they might bo
swept out to sen. Cy Noah, on being
asked about the dangers of tho trip,
declared that boyond the water reach
ing up on tho wheolH frequently, thoro
was nothing out of tho ordinary.
Man Who Rescued M. P. Bur

pulled herself up n llttto ways, but
sho could not have kept hcrseU

After they got her out, they
asked hor what lior nnnio was and

Had Dr. Horsfall started to throw

tlmo to send lu an alarm and they
reared that ir tho department was

Tho doctor moistened a largo cloth
