V t Although be had bought a ticket to Ban Francisco, A. B. Connelly, aged 74 years,-who bad brought th. young girl from La Grande, Or with htm. and bad kept her virtually a prisoner In a lodg-'inr-house for five days." left the train at Woodburn last' night and has not yet been seen. He ws not arrested be cause the train was on the point of leaving the depot when;the girl was found, and because no formal charge had been placed against him.

Or. According to the story she ' tells, she was early thrown upon her own resources and supported herseir by working as a waitress. Connelly. a wheat man known all over the Grand Ronde valley, became acquainted with hen and when he learned that she was out of employment, he aided her fi--Vrinclally. At this time, the girl says, t he treated her with entire respect, .but ' soon told her- he was going to CaH , f ornla and that she was to accompany him. ; , r Prisoner ' X .rtv. . . ' t?The Illy-assorted pair came to-Port-f hind last week, and for five days the " girl says she was kept In a room In the New Rosamond house.

Last evening he went out end ate supper by himself. 5 For . the girl he brought to the room Ion, two doughnuts.

M" Matron Fields, on duty at night at the Union depot, noticed the old man .and the young girl while- they were waiting for their train last evening. wr auKTilrlnne became aroused, and she railed Gertrude to one side and. ques tioned her-. The result was that Mrs. Baldwin was called, and the girl ques tioned again. . M" .' .

Offi cer Hlreeh thereupon enteral the train and escorted Gertrude to ths matron. Connelly declared she could come with Mm or not as she pleased, and It was partially because of his oool bluff that lie was allowed to remain on the train. The keepers jot several lodging-houses about the city are careful to Inform the .police when a suspicious pair engages a room from them, but the manager of the New Rosamond took no such precau tions. .-- --. ; :- , ' DOCTORS ilflDDEIIIISTS PAY Fff.E 17ITH TAX .'a.-:, r,: :tJ.rv- c ; '. .;'-,f-: 'K'l Municipal Judge .

La Grande for 'Some time.. She lived with her relatives until a month ago j when thejf moved tar Elgin. The relatives made every effort to shield the girl and keep her out of trouble,, but it was no use. She has been known to approach men on numerous occasions. The girl -worked in a laundry-for a . time, then In a hotel, and lastly in a Chinese restaurant. The proprietor of the restaurant discharged her because she had a bad reputation. About three weeke ago Gertrude Wil liams' locked herself in a room, at the Blue Mountain hotel. She had a loaded revolver and made threats of taking her own life. Sheriff Chllders was called and entered the room, took the s-un away from her and talked to the girl, who told the usual hard luck story. ChtMers went before the charitable or ganization of women, reported the case and asked them to find a place for her. The next day she was offered a place In the home of a farmer near the city. - but declined to go. She said a friend was golnjr to give her money and send her . to Portland. The friend was a brakeman on the O.' R. A N.
