with a search warrant went to
the farm of Mr. Allen on the old

personal effects of Roy and Floyd
Hillegas. The search warrant
was issued Monday evening at
the instance o f Cricket Bivens
and B. W . Stevens. The house
o f Mr. Bivens has been broken
into several times during the past
month and articles of more or
less value taken. About three
weeks ago while Mr. Stevens was
in Portland, his house was enter
ed and a few articles including an
automatic 22-rifle was
taken.
Mr. Bivens had cause to suspic
ion the Hillegas brothers and he
came to Falls City and induced
Mr. Stevens to go in with him
and get out a search warrant.
Many of the articles taken from
Mr. Bivens house were recovered,
also some logger shoes that were
identified as the property of the
Falls City Lumber Company’s
Store.
On the night of March 26th the
store o f the Falls City Mercantile
Company was entered and shoes
and various articles of clothing
taken. On April 4th the Falls
City Lumber Company’s store
was broken into and several pairs
of loggers shoes and other ar
