Aurland a very happy surprise.
They are on the last portion of a
trip which has taken them through
Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Washington, D. C, Minnesota, In
diana, Iowa. Nebraska, Idaho,
Wyoming, j with a short stop in
Seattle, and down through Olym
pia to Falls City in one day's
drive. , The trip has occupied three
months, and so far they have cov
ered 12,500 miles, enjoying every
bit of the time, the trip through
Yellowstone park being especially
enjoyable, j . ,y - .
In all their travels they found
the people cheerful, with good
crops everywhere. Many people
said they had been to the Pacific
coast and a great many of these
. said' they were coming back. Mrs
Reed said that of all the country
they had seen. Washington and
Oregon looked the best to her, and
the Willamette valley pleased es
peclally. This was their first.vlsit
to Falls City, and while they could
'make but a short stay, enjoyed
every minute of It.
1 Mrs. Reed's mother, Mrs. Hin
dahl. spent about two months here
in Falls City 14 years ago, the
guest of, Mr. and Mrs. Aurland.
M r. and Mrs. Reed had with
them on the trip east Mr. and Mrs
Jamison from Long Beach, who
shared their journey as far a$
Minnesota, where they all enjoyed
fishing in the lakes, having great
sport in Otter Tail lake, pickerel,
pike and bass being real game
fish. They had one night at
Horseshoe lake, with tine fishing.
Mr. and! Mrs. Aurland accom
'pan led their guests to Rickreall
Tuesday morning, where they
" spent a few" hours with the Demp-
seys. The trip on to Long Beach
will be made as rapidly as pos
sible, as Mr, Reed is engaged in
: the construction business there
and could spare no more time this
" summer for pleasuring.
Will Coin Again
f Sheriff Tom Hooker and Prosd
. cutlng Attorney Joe Helgerson
made a trip; to Falls City last Fri
day,, when they made a raid on
. Baun, 34-year-old taxi driver of
Independence and j member bf the
firm of Baun Bros. Livery of that
city. Baun was found dead at a
lonely spot ten miles south of In
dependence on the Independence-
Albany road about 10' o'clock
Tuesday night, less than at hour
after be bad left his home for the
intended purpose of taking W. R.
T.lovd. ex-convlct. and two un
identified companions, to Albany
No word of the murder was re
ceived In Salem j until 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning, when the
city police and the sheriff were
notified. " )
Search for the j three men cen
ters about The Dalles where at 1
o'clock Wednesday afternoon
Baun's abandoned Ford touring
car was found by deputy sheriffs
of Wasco county.! The engine of
the car when found was still
warm and it was believed last
night that police were closejon the
frail of the fleeing men.
Intent to commit robber Is the
explanation held to be most prob
able by Sheriff Tom B. Hooker of
Polk county. Oh three pi-evious
occasions Lloyd, believed tojbe the
leader of the trio, hired! Irwin
Baun, elder brother of the dead
driver, for short "trips ito - the
country ostensibly in search of
employment, and it was Irwin that
the men wished! for ' their j driver
Tuesday night. The elder broth
er was -in the habit of carrying
several hundred dollars upon his
person and it is believed that this
money was the object of the later
attack. " ' " " :.
'Early In the evening Ll6yd ar
ranged with - Irwin- Baun for the
trip to Albany but after that time,
Irwin, who complained ; of Illness,
persuaded his brother to substitute
for, him. Before the arrangement
was agreed upon the brothers bad
an argument as to whether the
younger of the two would substi
tute for his brother but assent to
the plan was ' finally given by
Clinton. He left Independence
with the trio at t:15 o'clock.
That the three men did not dis
cover that the change in drivers
had been made or that they pre
sumed that Clinton might also
carry money on his person, is held
by police to be the most logical
explanation bT the tragedy.
- btuu B puuj aos luuuu IJ iu( aw
the' side of the road .with tne feet
protruding' into the roadway by
Sheriff Frank Richards of Al
bany, who, with O. H. Hoy of the
same' city had been visiting at: a
hop yard near Independence. The
crime was discovered about 10
o'clock, supposedly about 15 min
utes after the body bad been
thrown onto the road.
Baffling evidence which refutes
the robbery" theory was found in
the fact that Clinton still bad
upon his person . when bis body
was discovered a wallet containing
112.30 in cash and his watch. One
of his pants pockets had been
turned inside out, but as far as is
known none of his property was
taken. . - -. .
A second theory under examina
tion by authorities is that Baun
was killed because be refused to
carry booze in .his car at the de
mand of the trio. The three men
are known to have been in' In
dependence, apparently without
any means of livelihood, for at
least a week,' and to have made
three trips to nearby hop yards
where it . is possible thay might
have been serving liquor custom
ers.
V Baun was first slugged with a
heavy dull instrument that frac
tured the back fo the skull and
which ' presumably struck him
from the rear while be was driv
ing. . He bad also been shot three
times with a .38 caliber revolver
loaded with steel jacket bullets
One of the shots grazed his breast,
a second entered his back on the
left side and left the body near
the right breast, while the third
entered from near the same point
and lodged against the right
shoulder blade. The second bullet
was found in his clothing.
. No clue to the Identity of the
two companions of Lloyd had been
uncovered last night. The three
were first seen together in Inde
pendence, last Thursday-. They
were again seen together last
Monday when an Independence
business man observed them eat
ing together In a restaurant.
' Fate dealt a hard hand to the
plans of the trio. The first Im
position of misfortune came in the
fact that Sheriff Richards followed
the men In their flight down th6
lonely road probably less than fif
teen minutes behind. Authorities'
believe that the three deliberately
chose the neglected spot to bide
the' body and were probably halted
in their plans by the sight of the
lights from Richards' car which
would have been .visible for more
than a mile on the higher road.
The road runs through a swamp
which would have provided an ex
cellent hiding place for the fatal
evidence. I
Misfortune interposed for the
second time Wednesday 'morning
when the direction of escape taken
by the men was ascertained by
discovery of the car in The Dalles
Police officers both to the north
and south were notified Tuesday
night, but it was generally accept
ed that the three were beaded
south. Yesterday news of the
murder was broadcast by radio
from Portland and it was through
this channel that authorities -at

in nis statement, wnich was
given voluntarily, he said he had!
denied , his testimony before the

td the payment of monies to Jess
Smith; to Wit, $250,000 to $300,
000 made in an affidavit given to
The DaBes learned the number of
the missing machine. A search
was instigated there and in less
than ten; minutes the car was
found, still warm from recent
driving. , . . i , .
' Possible light ' on where the'
crime was committed was shed
this morning by the report of Mrs.
J. A. Lucas whose residence Is
about 300 yards south of where
the body was found and who de
clared that she heard three shots
and shortly after beard a car
speeding -south on the road. Hop
pickers in the Sam B. Irvine yard
also reported having beard the
shots and having seen the Ford
touring car headed south at a high
rate of speed.

served time from October 261
1921, to April 26, 1923, for forg
ery committed in Lane county. He
. - ... .

ber of the Independence post of
the American legion. He had been
resident of Independence for
about 9 years. 'Funeral services

James 27. Linton, was-not based
Upon any facts and James N. Lin
ton knew that when I made such
a statement It was not "the truth.
"He was guest of Warden
Sartain for a period of a week
before I signed same. I signed
one and gave same to Blair Coan.
setting forth that I paid some one
in Washington $250,000 to $300.-
000 and did not mention name of
party the three weeks before. Then
they sent James N. Linton to have
me deny in toto, making many
promises before I siened same.",
Remus 1 described Coan as
"Daugherty's right hand man."!
Linton is an Ohio lawyer and
was attorney for A. E. SartaTn this
year when the latter was convict
ed of accepting bribes from
wealthy prisoners at the peniten
tiary.! j !
In bis testimony before the sen
ate committee, Remus declared
that he had often met .Jess Smith,
now deceased, but then a friend
of Daugherty. and had given him
thousands of dollars , in order to
get liquor permits to .continue his
(Remus) bootlegging, without in
terference from the department of
justice and to escape serving sen
fences on. charges pending against
him. I !
His repudiation stated be had
never met Daugherty or Smith
While serving bis term for con
spiracy to violate the prohibition
law, Remus said in this repudla
tion he was visited by Harry
Stern, a lawyer of the committee,
who Informed him the committee
would "throw themselves behind"
him and) would get. me. out of here
as soon as possible.
Remus further asserted then
that Stern told him' the commit
tee was ;"out" to get Daugherty
and that it was common knowK
edge in Washington that the Cin
cinnati man bad paid some one in
Washington between $230,900
and $300,000.
"Stern said he wanted roe to
make 'a statement that .would di
rectly, implicate Harry M. Daugh
erty as ; United States attorney
general in graft money," he con
tinued in the August repudiation.'
