TO BIS VICTIM
Alleged Bunco Man Squares
Case Under Noses of Po
lice Detectives?
Taking advantage of the temporary
absence of the detectives and the dep
uty district attorney from the room, Q.
- MacLeod returned to H. Olson, who lives
on Mississippi avenue, $3.90, the sum'
MacLeod had obtained from Olson for a
-. worthless lot near Spokane.
Olson, by the -time the officers re
entered the room, had decided that he
could not swear to a complaint against
MacLeod. The transaction took place
In the district attorney's office yes
terday afternoon. At 8 o'clock Mac-
. Leod was locked up in the city Jail.
. charged with vagrancy.
According to the police, MacLeod has
been doing a land office business in the
sale of lots in a "wildcat" addition near
Kpokane. He presented the card of the
Northwestern Land & Townslte Co.,
8171 Bprague avenue, Spokane, and
earnestly assured prospective Investors
that he could give them the finest real
estate speculation ever offerd. All he
wanted was $3.90, and because the sum
was so small the number of buyers was
correspondingly large.
Although Olson cannot ' now swear to
. the complaint which would have been
lodged against MacLeod, it is under-
, stood that before the' day is over an
other man who considers himself ewln-
- died will sign the complaint and Mac
Leod's dealings in dirt will come to an
. end.
MacLeod was arrested In Lower Al-
blna yesterday afternoon. Detectives
Coleman, Tennant, Hellyer and Moloney
have been working on thecase and hav
5 Ing found MacLeod they escorted him
to the office of Dlrtrlct Attorney Cam
eron, 'In the Ch?.:nber of Commerce
building. Olson was taken along to sign
the complaint.
- Inadvertently MacLeod was given a
chance to talk to Olson. He offered to
return the sum Olson had paid him and
" his offer was accepted. The transac
tion was over in a minute and MacLeod
could then meet the returning officers
wun a.smiie. ' ine aetectrvea say that
not only is the land which MacLeod tins
been selling so cheaply entirely worth
- less, but that he cannot give a clear
title.
MacLeod was evidently planning to
make his stay In. Portland brief, but
profitable, for he told his customers
that they would not receive deeds for
SO days. That interval apparently was
relied upon to Rive him a chance to
leave the. .city and let his customers
mourn.

- There is a revival of interest In the
cash oats market locally and some re
con t sales have been at an advance in
prices. At country points oats cannot
be purchased under 180 a ton and re
cent sales have been made between
dealers here as high as 882 a ton al
though 831 and 131.60' is the usual quo
tation offered at.
While there is still a lack of busi
ness in the .-oats market tor California
account, some or tne recent buyers
have California connections. There has
quiet absorbing or oats for sev
vs and prices paid ha ve gen
erally Hfcen at an advance 01 000 a ton
over fofirter figures.
' According to some of the larger buy
ers, most or tne- oats nave al
ready passed but of the hands of Wil
lamette valley producers and those now
holding stocks are well able to take
care of their accumulations for some
time.
There Is a very oulet tone in barlev
and "wheat but neither market is dis
posed to show any signs of weakness or
even easiness.
There was no session of the Port.
land board of trade today, this being
a legal holiday and all exchanges
throughout the United States were
closed ror the nay. All will reopen
tomorrow morning.

The next movement of cattle prices will
la nature of an advance. . So
says Tom Benson of Benson & Qouly
and .Mr. Benson's opinion is simitar o
that given by other handlers, including
Hunt & Lacey and 3. C- Lonergan.
While at .the moment there is but
little demand for steers, because of the
overful condition of packers' pens, these
supffiies held by buyers are gradually
WOrklng off and them la lltlla .Kontinn
but that the market will be doing bet
ter even before the time for the arrival
of the fed stuff.
Generally speaking "the bulk of the
present holdings of packers and killers,
post them more money than they would
be able to secure stocks at this time.
Most of these steers were , purchased
when cattle Drices were rather tlff .nH
killers went Into the interior and
bought when they- could not secure a
sufficient amount to fill their wants In
the ooen market. Most of thair mm.
chases have consisted of steers and for
mat reason alone tne demand Is small
er In that branch of the cattle market
than In others.
Oows ana Heifers Tina.
There is no weakness nor even dull
ess in the demand for other lines of
cattle. Both cows and heifers are in
very good call and prices obtainable are
quite satisfactory.
The sheep market Is quiet with the
tone holding about the same price, too.
Hoes are steady with no chana-a in
prices for the day.
uoaay 10 norses were among tne
early arrivals.
The lack of hog, cattle and sheep ar
rivals this m win fig compares with ar
rivals for this day in recent years as
