Where Brother Has Spent
The Last Four Months

Worn From Long Trip
Plans Changed.
At 8:45 o’clock this morning
Sheriff Frank Jennings arrived in
Medford with Ray and Roy D’-
Autremont from Ohio. At the
last nfinute plans regarding the
placing of the twins in the Mult
nomah county jail to await trial,
were clfanged and they were
brought to Jacksonville and plac
ed in the county jail, where their
brother Hugh has been confined
for the last three land a half
ninths.
Ray appeared haggard and worn
from the long trip. Roy seemed
happy in the thought that he was
back within Oregon.
The twins were taken off the
train at Portland last night and
spent -an hour and a half in the
county» Jail there while officers
considered the best place to keep
them until their trial.
Sheriff Jennings was accompan
ied on his long trip by hie ifrn
Lewis, a deputy sheriff, of Jack-
son county. The brothers were
kept under guard night and day.
Grace Coolidge donned rubber
boots, a slicker, short skirts and
slouch hat and started out for
Squaw creek.
It was the first time she has
over been fishing in her life.
Although the day was rainy
and a light hall storm had just
passed, she hooked one “ fair
sized” speckled trout, thereby ad
ding to the reputation of the fam
ily. She took it back to the log-
built summer White House and
there served it to her husband
for lunch. She used worms for
bait as her husband has done,
but she baited her own hook.

From this bottle, as from the

are to be disposed of at five cents
