Homeseekers from Missouri river

Pendleton Into the states of Oregon
and Washington by the thouiands
during the past three days and in
dications point to a continuance of!
the rush until tomorrow when all
but the stragglers will have gone
Two of the 'three men recently ar
rested by Sheriff Taylor and Deputy
Sheriff Wilson for the Weston safe
blowing and store burning, are well
known bank robbers who recently
served long terms in the Oregon pen
Itentiary. Their names are J. A.
Crossley and Eli Dunn, the two men
who were sent up for five years each
for robbing the bank at Lebanon,
Oregon, Feb. 5, 1905. James F. King
sley, who was associated with them In
that crime made his get-away and
has never been taken.
These two men were arrested In
Tortland by Sheriff Tom Word, a few
days after the robbery and when tried
and convicted were sent up for five
years. Through good behavior their
time was cut down and they were re
leased from the Salem prison a few
months ago. The Weston affair was
evidently the first crime attempted
since their release.
The boy who was with them has not
yet been Identified, but he Is believed
to bo nothing worse than a common
tramp, though It Is quite probable
that ho has done time In some reform
school. His Identity has not been established.

Arrest, prosecution, conviction and
imprisonment followed fast for Frank
Parr and James Myers when Chief of
Police Gurdane took their trial on
the charge of selling liquor to In
d'ans and In violation of the local op
tion law. In securing convictions
against these men the Chief of pollc
showed that he is somewhat of a
sleuth himself.
When Ti-co-nl explained in police
court Saturday morning that he hatf
secured his booze "at the show," the
chief immediately got busy. Tl-co-nl
was taken to the carnival grounds,
but despite his assertions to the con
trary he was unable or unwilling to
point out the man from whom he had
secured the firewater. Later in the
day, however, Bill La Rock, another
Indian, was picked up and he quick
ly pointed out Myers as the man who
had not only supplied him, but had
also disposed of the' fiery liquid to
Ti-co-nl.
On the evidence of these two In
dians Myers was arraigned in the po
lice court, tried and convicted. He
was fined 150 or 25 days and In de
fault of the money he took the Jail
sentence.
Frank Parr was a'so arraigned on
the charge of selling liquor to In
dians, the witnesses beine Anderson
Sh'ptour and Frank Johnson, both,
minors. He was arraigned on two
charges, that of selling liquor in vi
olation of the prohibition ordinance
and that of selling liquor to Indians.
The first charge was dismissed for
the reason there was pome doubt as
to the intoxicating ability of the bev
erage. On the second count he was
tried, found guilty and sentenced to
pay a fine of $25, in default of wh'th
he will serve twelve days in paid.
