" Pretend ing to yield to the Portland police, Atterbury suggested that," as they had had their fun, they pass the joke on Dynamite Found In Klamath Merrill Times: A few days ago A R.

So on Friday morning, when , hunted eeryvhere In the vicinity of the Portland Police Band boys were to j his hiding place, but, In the few min leave, Chief Atterbury was rushed i utes that remained before the car was with farewell calls. He heard that something had happened down at the depot abcut their special car, the re port having It that the car had been either switched elsewhere or taken ff ahead of time. Now this was a pretty serious situation, for the police were under orders to report at Port land for duty at a certain hour, which I made It absolutely Imperative for them to get off on schedule time. So Chief Atterbury went down to the depot to see what he could do to help to pull out, they were unable to find him. After he was sure that the coast was clear of Portland police men, Chief Atterbury came out of the hole and returned to his duties as chief of Ashland's police department. Attorney Lemery reported the mat ter to Ed Hopkins, deputy sheriff the federal authorities and th Southern Pacific Company. 0. E. Thomas, Southern Pacific de tective, was on the job in a few hours and with the aid of the ilty and coun. ty officials thoroughly investigated the affair. The premises were When Interviewed, Mr. Atterbury searched and a six-shooter (bulldog) acknowledged that he same near be ing the "goat," as the Porand boys "were really In earnest." He said that J. W. Metcalf, general superin tendent of the Shasta division of the Southern Pacific, and Chief of Detec his friends out. Sure enough, the tives of the Southern Pacific Pat car was gone! "Had some of the tioys slipped off to H1U with the special?" was questioned. Well, no one knew, but Ashland's chief told them to not worry as he would get the car for them, If he had to go to Klndelin were here during the cele brations and took a hand in the Joke, was found but no dynamite until Ed Hopkins and Detective Thomas pre vailed upon Strong to show them where the dynamite had been burled A little later two large sticks of dynamite caps were unearthed in the chicken house. It is thought that more dynamite Is burled or secreted by Strong, and according to I.If. Atterbury.

But a careful search of Metcalf has the unique honor of hold the yards revealed the err on a sid ing some distance away. This was a Mg relief. But heve the plot, thickens. When the car was found, one of the Port land officers was seen sitting at a window, who appeared a little under the weather. "Had he been to Hilt?" began to be questioned. Someone dared Atterbury to go Into, the car and find what was the matter. A dozen of his fellows barked up the suggestion. Atterbury had to go or lie a "quitter." He went In, followed by the whole bunch. The officer at ing membership card number 1. In the talk at the depot that morning the recent attempt to federalize the police of the different cities of the United States came under discussion. It is a good idea, especially in war time, as the police could under such a system rentier much more efficient service in rounding up spies and other suspects. As this was the first oppor tunity that Mr. Atterbury had had to talk with the Portland boys about It, he was to a large extent ignorant of the latest phase of the move. Hence, when they- tried to get him to believe Siskiyou, Ore., to work on the sec tion there and the soldiers would not allow him to go Into the tunnel. He is an Austrian and seems to have strong annrchlal tendencies. Prosecuting Attorney James M Allen came up Friday morning, June 29, bringing another officer with him, and Strong was taken to Yreka for a preliminary hearing, A. R. Hake, Deputy Hopkins and Detective Thom as going as witnesses. the window was apparently" not that the federalization had already drunk, still he acted que'erly. He in- gone into effect, he "fell for It."

He laughed at the Idea of letting Atter bury off the car, Insisting that they take him along with them to Port land. As before, the rest of the of ficers hacked up the suggestion. It was nearly time for the car to pull out and the situation was plainly seri ous., Just think of kidnapping the thorlty was statewide. Ashland's chief was frank in acknowledgment of the fact that the Portland band bunch were "shrewd, sharp fellows, for the game they put up on me was carried out to perfection." He add ed, "Mow you see, If the city of Ash land had a detective bureau, as the recent happenings during .the three days of the big celebration proves Is chief of police and taking him off to j needed, I would never have run the another part of the state! Chief Atterbury realized by this close chance of being kidnapped that 1 did last Friday." Some of the loan sharks are in creasing their loan rates to pay for the Liberty bonds so generously bought.
