It happened after this wise. Before starting from Frisco these beys, one of them only 23 aad the other perhaps a couple of years older, had outfitted for a hunt ing expedition somewhere in the wilds of Southwestern Oregon and contri buted fifty-fifty towards the purchase of an outfit invoiced In this way: one shot gun, one 80-30 rifle, one 32-40 rifle, one 22 special rifle, two auto matic revolvers, with ammunition ga- Tbey called on Goorge Moulton at the old city building after coming ov er here Friday and wanted to know whore waa the beat place to try their firearms an the unsuspicious game of Coos county, and talked as if they in- They ware well dreaaed, spruce look ing young fellow*, aad ha gathered the impression that they might really be more anxious to got out o f Sound and hearing o f the conscription reg istration than to bag a lot o f game. Saturday afternoon Mighotto toolf a trip down to Band on by boat with out bidding his partner goodbye or tailing him where ha was going. Be fore that time, though, they had made a division o f their portable arsenal, so Mighotto says, and he got the 82- 40 and 22 rifles with the ammunition for them which ho left in Charley Baxter's ease at the hotel office. Apparently Ward got lonesome when he could not find his room mate and so took the Sunday morning train Portland-ward. Ha by the way ap- to have a brother teaching at Grants Paaa and another at Talent in Jack- son county, while ho was bora and raised no farther away than Myrtle creak in Douglas county, where mem bers o f his family still reside. But before going ho asked Baxter for tha guaa Mighetto had left in the office and not only took them but wont through tha suit ease belonging to his partner and extracted tha ammu nition from it. Baxter waa a little loath to let him have the stuff but as they roomed together and seemed to be perda all right, he 1st it go. Ward wrote a note to Mighetto dated at Coquilte but mailed after he got to Marshfield telling him he waa going to Portland, which said, " I f I'd known what you are (a piper) before, I'd have went on home to Portland. You loft me broke and you have money, but I leave for Port land this morning just the asm«. Ill frightened him away there aa ba want to another hotel and registered un der still another name. Anyhow he waa flat broke and wrote, as he claim- ad, to his sister at Myrtle Creek to send him some money to come home. Mighetto got out a warrant for Ward for stealing tha gone and Sher iff Gage took a trip out to Eugene and Norton’s price for doinj $10,068 White the only $12,800. But one bid, that o f tha Elliott Con tracting Company, waa received an tha Coos Bay North project aad this bid being far higher than tha aati- by tha County court. No definite plan fas this im provement have as yet boon made but it is under advisement to pay n atal for tha uaa of the equipment of some large contracting company in cluding the services o f a superinten dent and doing tha work under coun ty supervision. No bids wore received on the Co- quilte-Fairvtew project so the county will do this work on 4 force account.
