Crooked Career Has Led a Young Man tp Face Prison Barn List of Crimes. . V. E. Finch, tho forger and Loss1 Omans, his companion, ana now be hind the bars in the Umatilla eour.y jail awaiting the action of the district attorney In their cases. Sheriff Till I). Taylor arrived homo with the boys last evening and as it had been announced that the young men would arrive on the Portlnnd train quite a curious crowd was nt the depot to see them. Finch Is well known by all the young people nnd many of tho older ones and whllo they do not countenance his acts they feel a deep concern in the mis fortune he has brought upon himself. Omans Is not so well known, but he Is also a Pendleton boy, whoso parents resldo here. Just what dis position will be made with him Is not known and will not be determined until District Attorney Hnlley returns from Portlsnd. While ho did not as sist In passing the checks ho was with young Finch at the time tho checks were cashed and It Is thought thnt proof may be brought against him which will Implicate him Just as deeply as Finch. The boys will say nothing of their crimes. They are close-mouthed and refuse to utter a word about them selves. Omans is not known to have been mixed in any crookedness in the past, but as stated before Finch has been in various little stealing scrapes which will make the law look at his last offense in a much different light than if hlB record had been clean up to the last criminal act. Finch is ac cused of stealing a set o harness from Louis Ourdarlan which was re covered. In addition to this he stole a calf belonging to Peter West and sold It to a man named Porter. Finch had been employed by Mr. West to drive the calf home from a pasture, but Instead he drove the calf to Porter's place and sold it for 12 Then he went to West and told him that the calf could not be found. Later Mr. West located the calf and Finch was compelled to pay Porter $5 for his trouble and refund the $12 to the purchaser and return the calf to Its owner. It Is also claimed that he has robbed several different men and In one Instance took something near $200 worth of goods from a Pendleton firm. When found he returned the goods and the matter was dropped His young friends also state that ho had frequently approached them and asked them to join with him in van1 ous crimes. When remonstrated with and told that he would get himself into trouble he would reply, "they will have to catch mo before they can do anything with me." He has probably concluded by this time that he Is not so smooth as he thought and ho can really bo caught Considering his past record. Finch has a serious case before him. COAL NEAR PENDLETON.
