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.

company here. Tbe Postal Telegraph Company here reported
that it had lost all its wires to Galveston, and had no information
as to the situation there.
Washington, July 21. A report to the weather bureau from
Galveston stated that at 10:20 o'clock this morning tbe gulf was
high and still rising. The water in the western portion of the
city is several feet deep. The wind is blowing 62 miles an hour.
New York, July 21. A telegram from Galveston just before
wire communication was lost stated that the wind at that time
was blowing sixty miles an hour. Three sections of the Galves
ton bridge have been blown down and no trains are running be
tween Galveston And the mainland. The water is beginning to
come over the sea wall. j
Shortly after 2 o'clock the Western Union resumed wire

Meeting Resolves for Road Be
tween Eugene and
Springfield
"I blame the county court for our
bad roads more than anything else,"
said D. E. Yoran In the first address
at tbe good roads meeting this after
noon. "I have gone before the county
court and they seem totally indif
ferent to good roads. I have begun
to think Unit they are on their jobs
for what thero is in It. They are the
people most Interested In this meet
ing, yet they are not here. 1 recom
mend that w e pans a good strong res
olution to the county court demand
lug first a good road to Springfield,
and t liun nil over the county."
Those present at the meeting crit
icized the absence of the county Judge
and the commissioners by the unan
imous -motion to bring them to the
meeting by personal escort, after sev
eral written Invitations hud been die
regarded. About sixty representa
tive clllsens from Springfield, Kugmie
and nearby places concur red In tbe
motion passed by the meeting.
The Importance of the supervisor
in building rouds was discussed by
I". J. Hard, who has constructed good,
ruuds In llohemlu. He took a more
favorable view of Ihe county court,
and said: "They will be ready to
meet us half way, I am sure."
Court house Locked ' .

the courtroom was locked and the
Judgo's office vacant. Chuirniun
3varverud said: "We have done our

Tho plan of Improving tho Spring
field road was taken up by C. S. Free
land. "Wo should present plnns com
plete In themselves to county court,
and not leave It to their Judgment.

lithlc pavement, a new kind, costing
about ll.Oil to the square yard,
which we will probably present as
soon as porslble."

tion demanding that work on the Im
provement lie begun not later than

the subject of the rond to Mupleton.
gecrotury llartog said: "The road to
MapltCion -is the most shameful iilen
of road I have ever seen. It Is
unique. Home times the teams are
on the rwnd and iiwtime off. The
trouble heretofore has been that tbe
county court has tried lo satisfy each
lime, community."
I). K. Tollman told of the hiatory
of tho HI im In w road. He said that
much money had been wasted va tbe
roads, and that the county had .been
held "back by the waste. '
