IIIIIIC THIRST
COSTLYTO QUEI1GH
Two Gentlemen Who Did Not Know
When They Had Enough and
The tbe Gas Gave Out
Riley Cox, arrested ber yesterday
by Sheriff George Lewis, charged
with taking ft Reo automobile from
W. T. Breen's garage In this city,
had his bearing this forenoon before
Justice Holman at the courthouse.
Another man, by tbe nam of E. T.
Smith, was arrested last night as an
accomplice ot Cos sad he also ap
peared before th Jnstlee at the same
time.
According to the story told by th
two men, they did not intend to
steal the automobile. Cox," who ears
he Is "broke," offered to get the ear
and take Smith who furnished the
money to Hilt where they proceed
ed to lay In a small supply of Joy-
water for their own use. They In
tended to return the automobile be
fore It was missed the next morning
but ran ont of gas and abandoned
the car in front of the (Baptist church
In this efcy.
Smith, who haa a wife and child
In Portland and Is employed by tbe
Atterbnry Truck Company, says
they had over a pint of whiskey be
fore they started out on the jaunt.
which "gave the courage and made
them fit for the fray." He says
they bought tour pints at Hilt and
drank on pint on the road to Grants
Pass. The other three pints were
found tn Smith's room by the offi
cers.
They do not look like "bad men"
and District Attorney Miller allowed
them both to plead guilty ot bring
ing liquor into the state and the
Judge fined each man 8100. Had
the charge In regard to taking the
auto been pushed against them K
would have been somewhat different,
as the law provide fine for' such
an offense of two years in the pen!
tenWaryr a fine not to exceed 8500
It la thought that Mr. Smith will
pay his tine at once, but Cox. being
without funds, will probably be a
star (border at the county Jail for a
time. The Boys' thirst simply got
th best of them. '
