Three Mexicans, Lamar Lo-

Gomldo brought to Pendleton a
scheme often tried and worked
In the effete east to break the
high cost of living. It worked
here to a certain extent.
Last night they entered a local
Chinese restaurant and ate to
their fill of eteaks, eggs, pie and
everything on the menu that
truck their fancy. Then they
arose from the counter and pro-
ceeded to walk out without pay-
ing. But they reckoned not of
the wily Chinese proprietor ot
the establishment for he imme-
diately put in a call for the po-
lice. I'pon the arrival of the
'police and their discovery that
the Mexicans could not pay
whether they would or not they
immediately added to the free
meal by giving them free lodg-
lug in the city Jail. This morn-
ing Judge Fit Gerald, to help
the cause along, provided that
the Mexicans receive meals from
the city for the next five days.
However, they won't be free.
The street commissioner haa a
number of minor taska to be
performed. They are working
today.
ESCAPES FROM ALCATPAZ
An echo of the killing of Sheriff Til
Taylor was heard this morning when
news of one of the inmates of the
Jail at that time, was received by
v-met of h-olice RoOerts. The com
munication was received from armj
officials asking information concern
ing one Richard Dunn alias Robert
Jeffrey, who eervved 30 ays In the
county Jail last sumtner on a charge
of carrying concealed weapons.
Jeffrey op Dunn was arrested last
June after information was received
by the pollco of . his contemplated
robbing of the homes of several well
known Pendleton residents. It seems
that a youth of Pendleton was ap
proached at that time by Dunn who
wanted him to assist in the robbery of
these houses. The youth, however.
reported the matter to the police and
informed them that Dunn had a list
of the houses he was going to rob and
also carried-a gun. This information
was corroborated with the arrest of
Dunn with the list and gun in his pos
session. He was sentenced to the
county Ja.'l for carrying concealed
weapons and was In the jail when the
jailbrenk and murder occurred.
stated then that he knew of the oc
currence but was afraid to tell. Sho"-t-ly
after the break h;s time was, up
and he was released..
The communicaction from the army
informed Chief Roberta that Dunn
hud escaped from Alcatras, the mili
tary prison, but had recently been re
captured. They asked the chief con
cerning Dunn's activities here.
