The convicts were found In a fence corner, where they had endeavored to conceal themselves under some boards and ferns. Stick 'em up," yelled Brlxey, who with Ralph Grenfell, chief of police" of McMinaville-, spotted the convicts. 'We're coming," - answered Moore.. The captives were taken to the Yamhill county Jail and the posse resumed the" search' for the other two. .''After two hours, it was re ported that Fisher had been ceen In a clump of trees known as tho Malone woods. , Again the search ers concentrated and began loat ing the :-k An hour passed and the officers began to believo they were on a blind trail when Raymond J.

From the Shelbourne farm the fugitives doubled back to McMinn ville, passing boldly through town between 9 and 10 o'clock last night. A youth, Floyd Lambert saw them on the Star Mill road, due west of town and gave the alarm,"1' but their trail was not picked up until an unidentified woman telephoned the deputy warden that she had seen them near the high school. The four convicts who escaped last Friday by scaling the wall of the Oregon state penitentiary and were captured at ! McMinnville Tuesday, were returned to the in stitution last night by Deputy Warden Golden and a number of guards who were sent in pursuit of the fugitives. After being "dressid. in" at the prison the convicts Were assigned to the "bull pen" for a period of six months. They were dressed m. stripes and will lone all instita tion privileges. , The convicts had nothing to say upon their return to the prison other than they were tired and footsore. A large crowd of citi zens had gathered at the peniten tiary when the convicts arrived but they were not admitted withij the institution enclosure. Warden Lillie said last night that he had decided to" request permission of Governor Pierce to dress all convicts employed wiihiu the prison walls in stripes. It also is possible, he said, that a new rule would be adopted whereby ah convicts would have their hair cropped close to their heads. A grand jury investigation to determine the facts connected with the escape of the four con victs will get underway this morn ing, according to announcement made by District Attorney Carson The1 investigation was requested by Warden Lillie. The district at torney said .that a number of guards--and convicts would be summoned before the jury to tes tily.

E GETTING SCARCER Canning About Over, But the Drying of Berries Will Go Right On . Receipts of loganberries in Sa lem yesterday, while large in the aggregate, showed decided signs of slowing up. and many of the berries were soft for canning. The Hunt cannery will receive its last loganberries - tomorrow night. LOGANBERRIES 1 The good work that a good motor oil does goes on where you cannot see it it must be "taken on faith." That faith must be in the refiner more than in the oil, because most oils look alike when you buy them. In "Union Oil of California" you can have faith because it has a forty-three-year old reputation to protect in the products it sells, one of which is Aristo Motor Oil Non-Carbonizing Western Ari&o Motor Oil is all lulrkation, containing neither paraffin nor atphalt. The hard, flinty abrasive carbon" that many motorists find on valve, cylinder head and (park plug after a few thousand mile of use never come from this ne Western oil. The small amount of residue that Aristo leaves is a fine, soft, fluffy substance, most of which blows out with the exhaust. Motor in good condition which are lubricated with Aristo, therefore, run several year with out the trouble, lay-up and expense so often due to "carbon." A further preventative of "carbon" is the use of nonrJetonatiitg Uniem Gattlme with Aristo Motor Oil. This combination is probably the most .effective that is known. til estimate of the cost of without extra charge ' The Oregon Packing company cannery received a lot of logan berries yesterday, but most of them were rather soft, j At. the Starr cannery, receipts were smaller, and it la expected that Saturday jwlll about, finish the canning crop.
