By PETER WONG Capital Bureau Tributes are being paid to Dave Frohnmayer, former president of the University of Oregon and former Ore- gon attorney general, who died Monday at the age of 74. “He was a lawyer’s lawyer,” said former Gov. Ted Kulongoski, who like Frohnmayer was attorney general and also began in elective politics as a state representative from Lane County. “There are few times when people come into our lives who have as much talent and character who have such an effect on us — and he was one of those people.” Gov.

Kate Brown earned his law degree from the Univer- sity of California at Berkley in 1967. He was a special assistant to Elliot Richardson, then the U.S. secretary of health, education and welfare, before he returned to Oregon in 1971. For a decade, he taught at the law school. As a volunteer, he was an ad- vocate for Oregon’s open meetings and public records laws, which lawmakers passed in 1973. Frohnmayer won an Oregon House seat in 1974, the same year Kulongoski, also a lawyer, was elected from a neigh- boring district in Lane County. Frohn- mayer was a Republican, Kulongoski a Democrat. Frohnmayer was elected attorney general in 1980, defeating Democrat Harl Haas, then the Multnomah Coun- ty district attorney. He was re-elected in 1984 and 1988, the second time with both Republican and Democratic nomi- nations. He ran for governor in 1990, but lost to Democrat Barbara Roberts in a race where an independent anti-abortion candidate drew a modern-day record 13 percent of the votes.

SPOKANE (AP) — Authorities are searching for a man who was caught on video running down a street in the small town of Sprague, Washington, carrying a toddler in an apparent kidnapping attempt. The video from a surveillance camera shows the boy’s young sister chasing after the man, who set the boy down and ran off on Sunday. Sprague is about 40 miles west of Spokane on Interstate 90. /LQFROQ&RXQW\6KHULII:DGH0DJHUVVD\VRI¿FHUV don’t have any leads in the search. They say they don’t believe the man is a resident of the town of about 500 people. Magers says most likely he was passing through Sprague. The boy, 22-month-old Owen Wright, was unhurt.
