ARRESTED FOR LARCENY
Sherman Miller Captured in Corvallis
- a Year after Alleged Crime
Was Committed.
Sheriff. M. Grant returned from
Corvallis yesterday afternoon with
Sherman- Miller, accused by W. S.
MoCaleb, of having robbed him of
personal property valued at about $40.
At a preliminary hearing before
Justice of the Peace Hardy Hoi man,
yesterday, Miller confessed to a part
of the crime of which he was accused,
and his case will be heard more fully
this morning at 10 o'clock.
Mr. McCaleb, who brings the com
plaint and who accompanied Sheriff
Grant and the prisoner from Corvallis
gives his version of the story substan
tially as follows :
More than a year ago McCaleb, who
is a timber cruiser and scaler, met
Miller in Toledo. Miller was out of
work and had no money and applied
to McCaleb for assistance. MoCale b
brought the young man to Falls City
with him, paid his hotel bill and bid
ding him wait in that city tor him,
started up to Black Rock to secure
employment for both of them. Miller's
excuse for not accompanying him was
a sprained ankle.
Having secured work McCaleb
phoned for the young man to come up
and join him, but failing to get him,
returned to Falls City, where he dis
covered that Miller had appropriated
a quantity of his clothing and other
property and left the city. ,
After that he was unable to get any
clue as to Miller's whereabouts, until
last Wednesday, when he met him
face to face on the streets of Corvallis.
He brought up the subject of the theft
which the young fellow did not deny,
but begged him not to have him ar
rested, promising to pay all it Mc
Caleb would allow him to retain his
freedom and go to work. This Was
agreed to, but no sooner had McCaleb
turned his back than Miller made an
effort to escape and leave the city.
Losing patience with such shifty
methods his former benefactor had
him arrested and placed In jail, and
telephoned to Dallas for Sheriff Grant
to come and take charge of the pris
oner. Mr. Grant left Dallas on the
motor yesterday morning, got his man
in Corvallis and returned yesterday
afternoon by way of Derry.

MELONS AND
COFFEE
WISE TALKS BY U. S. LOUGHARYS'
OFFICE BOY
Well, Sir, school has been out two
weeks and I haven't had any melons
yet. I suppose its my own fault for
they are certainly getting plenty
enough. I tell you what it is, next to
the strawberry, a melon is the best
thing a man can eat in the morning,
and coffee Is the best thing he can
drink. A lot of folks have a kind of
grouch against coffee drinking, but
maybe they never get the right kind.
Really good coffee hasn't a grouch in
a gallon of it. Poor coffee contains to
much of the bitter principal("tannin,"
I think they call it,) and that makes a
fellow peevish, especially too much of
it. Lots of good coffee is ruined in the
making; boiled too long; made too
weak, and dosed with poor milk. To
be a good and wholesome drink, coffee
should be roasted fresh, made strong,
and brought just to the boiling point
(or mada In a coffee percolator by
pouring boiling water over the pow
dered coffee) and served with rich
cream such as the St. Charles or Pio
neer brands. Ma says this Is so and
that good coffee, properly made, never
hurts anyone. Have you tried our M.
J. B. coffee?
