That Ray Diamond, the youthful (Jesperad«j who last week held up Cashier Smith o f the Glendale State Rank, and secured something over $2800 in money, has a dual personality, is the general belief o f local officers and detectives, who for the past week have been making efforts to capture him. Until last week Diamond, who had lived in Glendale five years, bad con ducted himself in a manner which won for him the esteem o f his acquain tances. He was industrious and worked steadily until about two months ago. when he lost his position follow ing a minor altercation with a fellow employe. A survey o f his past life reveals that Diamond waa welcomed in the best so cial circles in this district. Only a few weeks age he played the leading part in a home talent play, for which he received high commendation. He waa an Oddfellow, while the cashier he held up was the noble grand o f his lodge. Young Diamond seldom, i f ever, en tered a saloon, and prior to committing the daring robbery, it is said no one at Glendale ever saw him take a drink o f liquor. In his every-day life he was quiet and unassuming and talked little. He loved literature and was fam iliar with the works of the most noted authors. ' He was w ell versed on cur rent events, and was a conversation alist o f more than ordinary intelli gence. In all. Diamond's outward life sug gested nothing that would indicate that he was desperate and would ran sack a bank. On the contrary his fea tures would indicate refinement, while his manner was such as to win him friends on every hand. There was another side to Diamond’ s life, however, which was only known to himself. While a reader o f heavy literature, Diamond also read much o f notorious characters, including John Turnow, the Washington desperado, and Harry Tracy, the Oregon outlaw. It is believed he learned to admire these men, and fascinated by the pos sibility o f himself gaining notoriety for daring he decided to enter the world o f crime. In the sleeping room o f hia lonely cabin on the outskirta o f Glendale were found hundreds o f papers and books, the pages of which were filled with thrilling scenes enacted by desperate outlaws. With booming cannon, martial music, grand parade, picnic dinner, patriotic program, long list o f sports ami a ball game. Cottage Grove w ill celebrate the Fourth In usual style.

Black, who recently purchased the fish market here, met with a pe culiar misfortune at Portland last week, where be went to pack up his household goods and move them to Cottage Grove. He had the goods all packed and while he and Mrs. Black were spend ing the night with friends at a nearby house the house containing his goods caught fire and everything was de stroyed with the exception o f one box. A peculiar thing in connection with the incident was that the front door which had been securely locked was found open by those who discovered the fire while the fire seemed to have its origin from the chimney.
