Sheriff Unvllle left last night for Spokane to hrlng back W..H. Davta Indicted for embesslement In Clatsop county. Davis was employed by Rosa, Hlggina 4t Co., upon recommendation from the White Sewing Machine Co, to represent that company In Clatsop county. He was a amooth individual, as well as a rascal. While he was In the employ, or rather under the sup ervlston of Rosa, Hlggina Co., he took a large number of orders for the machines. As soon as the ordera were turned In he received hla commission, When the monthly collections were made Davis skipped out. Several peo pie were Importuned to pay for their machines, but as they had not pur chased any, they refused payment, and when their contracts were shown to them, they were pronounced forger les. This led to an Investigation and the matter was placed In the hands of Sheriff Llnvllla, who has been work Ihg on the case ever since last May, and finally succeeded In locating Davis. Davis turned In a number of con tracts for sewing machines on long time payments, and was paid his com mission by Ross, Hlggina tt Co., who represented the company, supposing, of course, that the contracts were genu Ine. After Davis skipped out, an In vestigation was made, and It was dis covered that he was an embeiiler and had got Into the company between $400 and $500. Being highly recommended to Ross. Hlggina ft Co. they placed Implicit confidence In him, with the re sult as herein atated. Sheriff Unvllle Is expected to return with his prisoner ao that he can be arraigned at this term of court The penalty prescribed by the laws of Oregon for such men Is not severe enough. i CIRCUIT COURT.
