F Cigar Dealer "Slips" Chief Far ringion Two $5 Bills Un der Arrest for Bribery Hobert Denton, proprietor of the cigar store in the Frasier building at Sixth and Willamette -streets, is a generous man. He wanted Chief of Police Farrington to share in the profits of the store, but also wanted the chief to be generous to him and give him a tip whenever the officers talked of raiding his place in search of liquor. As a result of Denton's "slipping" two ?i 'bills to the chief of police he is under arrest and out on $800 bonds to appear for exami nation on the charge of bribery. When Chief Farrington passed Denton's store 'one day last week on his way to the depot to take the train for St. Helens to appear as a witness in the MurgaTroyd murder trial, Den ton called him in and handed him an envelope marked 'confidential." Den ton requested the chief not to open the envelope until he got on the train. Before boarding the train. however.Farrington tore open the en velope and was surprised to find en closed a 5 bill, lint with no writing. He showed it to Officer Fred Callison who was at the depot at the time. Upon his return to Eugene Chief Far rington told the circumstances to Deputy District Attorney Sklpworth. and the money was turned over to him. The simple gift of $5 to the chief was not enough to warrant the arrest of Denton for bribery, so yesterday Farrington made another visit to the cigar store to see what would turn up next. Denton called him to one side, and handing him another $5 bill, told him that he was going to declare a dividend In tils business and that on the first and fifteenth of ev ery month he would "slip" the chief $5. "All I ask of you," he said, "is to give me a tip when a raid is to be made so I can be ready for it." Chief Farrington again took the money and turned it over to the dep uty district attorney, and immediate ly a warrant charging Denton with bribery was issued. The chief made the arrest last evening. The attorneys have not yet decid ed upon a time for examination and in the meantime Denton is at liberty on 800 bonds.
