f PAOR ntSND nULLKTIN, I1KND, OllfCflOX, THUIIMIMY, AUGUST Ul, tO'il CARLON FINDS MISSING PARTS OF THREE CARS Brothers Held For Sunday Night Thefts PRINTS ARE EVIDENCE Quantity of Hqiilpment Seized lMt Night Will Make Good All I,sos, Hello imI Officer Makes Painstaking Search Parts valued at several hundred dollars, stolen from three Ford cars Sunday night, were found luto Frl day afternoon, and W. n. Shephard and R. P. Shephard, brothers residing on Columbia street near Jacksonville avenue, were arrested, charged with tho theft. 'Constable Tom Carlon, who handled tho case, and DIs trlct Attorney A. J. Moore, claim to bo able positively to Identify many of tho recovered parts, particularly In cases where wires were severed in de tachlng them, stating that the sev ered ends fit exactly. Finger prints found on ono piece of Ford truck equipment, left behind by the thieves In the course of one of their expeditions Sunday night, are being developed and will have an im portant bearing on tho case, it is be llcved by the officers. The recovered parts, it Is believed, will make good nil tho losses sustained by City Engl neer Robert D. Could, J. A. Mobley and Clay Miller, all of whose cars suffered as the result of motor thieves' activities over the last week end. Ixmir Search Succeed Painstaking work on the part of Carlon is responsible for the success of the Investigation, which ordinarily would have the traditional search for the needle hidden In a haystack ap pearing as an easy quest by compari son. When Gould's car was taken on Drake road Sunday night, and driven to the city dump to be stripped, the thieves used the end gate from their own Ford truck to support the jack with which Gould's car was lifted clear of tho ground. Then they for got tho end gate, which was 'found the next day by Carlon and J. L. Van lluffel of the Central Oregon Motor Company. The board was brought into Bend, care being taken not to obliterate finger prints, and measure ments were taken. ' Kml Gato Is Cluo Then Carlon's search began. Car rying strings cut to the dimensions of the board, he started on a tour of the city, looking for a truck without an end gate. Once such a one was found, measurements would be taken, until finally late Friday afternoon Carlon considered that his hunt was ended. A search warrant was ob tained, and with Police Chief Wlllard Houston and Van Huffel accompany ing him, Carlon served the paper at the Shephard home. Much of the miss ing property was found under a trap door In the kitchen, and the rest was found In the garage. As far as house furnishings were concerned, the fam ily was plainly destitute, but three cars. Including the truck, were at the place. V. I). Shephard, according to the officers, volunteered a virtual confes sion when he reached home shortly after 5 o'clock from the mills. The end gate bad been brought to the place by Van Huffel and was being fitted in when the Shephard brothers made their appearance. "What are you doing with my end gate?" Shephard demanded. When assured by Carlon that It had been found at the city dump, he lapsed into silence. Wife's Advice Unheeded Shephard'B wife told Dihtrlct At torney Moore, when he with Deputy Sheriff Gcorgo Stokoe, Carlon and Van Huffel visited the house again Friday night to obtain other property suspected of having been stolen, that her husband, with a man known as "Shorty" Frisk, and It. P, Shephard, had been out until midnight Sunday, and that slin had advised her husband against doing "such things." The Shepliaids came to Bend three months ago from Km mutt, Idaho, Mrs. Shephard said. INQUIRIES FOR HAY COMING FROM VALLEY Many Inquiries for hay are being received by County Agriculturist D, L. Jamison, ho announced while in Bend Tuesday. Most of them are coming from the Willamette valley. Handlers who will have bay to sell aro asked to communicate with Jami son, letting him know the amount which they can spare. Put It In Tho Dulletfn. CROSS-CUT j&tf a A Fiflrclilld laughed lie couldn't help It In spite of the fact that live tiun- "Ain't I the Cuckoor dred dollars might have gone a long wuy toward unwnterlng that shaft. Harry was Horry he had done enough In crossing the seas to help him. And ulready. In the eyes of Falrchild, Harry was swiftly approaching that place where he could do no wrong. "You're wonderful, Harry," came nt last. Hie Cornlshman puffed with pride. "I'm a cuckoo!" he admitted. "Where's Mother 'Oward? Where's Oward. Won't I knock 'er eyes out, now I" Ami he boomed forward towanl the dining room, to find there men be had known In other dnjs. to shake hands with them nud to hnng them on the hack, to sight Illlniieyc Bozcmnn and Taylor Kill sitting hunched ovp r their menl In the corner and to go effusively toward them. "Arry" was plnylng no favorites In tils "oine-comlng." Jovially lie leaned over the table of llozrmnn ami Hill, after lie had dis played himself before Mother Howard and received tier sanetlon of his selec tions In dress. Happily he boomed forth the Information that Falrchild and he wore back to work the lllue Poppy mine nnil that they already hud made si trip of Inspection. Falrchild finished his nie.il and waited. lint Harry talked on. Boze iiian nnd I'.lll left the dining room again to make a report to the narrow faced Squint Itodalne. Hurry did not eien notice them. Anil ns Ions as a man stayed to answer his queries. Just so on did Harry remain, nt last to rice, brush a few crumbs from Ids lightning-like suit, (tress his new hat gently upon Mx head with both hands mid Mart forth once more on his rounds of saying hello. And there wax nothing for Falrehllil to do but to wait patiently as possible for Jils return. The afternoon grew old. Harry did not come back. The sun set and din ner wuh served. Itut Harry was not there to eat It. Dusk rame, and then, ueriotiH over the continued absence of Ids eccentric partner, Falrchild start ed uptown. The usual groups were In front of (lie store, and liefore the largest of them Fulrehlld stopped "Do any of you happen to know a fellow named Harry Harklns?" he asked soiiiewlmt anxiously. The an swer was In the affirmative. A miner stretched out u foot and surveyed It studiously. "Ain't seen him since about live o'clock," he said at lust. "He was Just Martin;; up to the mine then." "To the mine? That late? Are you pure'" "Well I ilunno. May have been go Ins to Center City. Can't say. All I I. now Is lie said souicihln' about Kon' to tli' mine earlier In ill' afternoon, im' long about five I seen him starting up Kentucky gulch." "Who's that;" Thu interruption had come In n sharp, yet gruff voice. I'lilrclilld turned to see before him 11 man he recognized, u tall, thin, wiry llgtire, with narrowed, slanting eyes, and a pear that went straight up his forehead. lie evidently had Just rounded the corner In time to hear tho c'onersiitlon. "I wits merely asking about my part in r In the Mm! Poppy mine." 'The lllue Puppy" the squint eyes narrowed more than ever. "You're I'alrehild, ain't you Well, I guess ynu'ro going to hnvo to get along without u partner from now on." "(let alone without" A crooked smile came to the other's lip. "Twit U, unless you want to worl with u ilea J man. Harry Harklns got Courtney uooper ILLUSTRATIONS R.BAfcnNtce drowned, nttmit nn hour ago, in the lllue Poppy shaft 1" CHAPTER VIII Tho news caused Fulrehlld to recoil anil Mitiid gnsplcg. And before he could Kpenk, a new voice luid cut In one full of excitement, tremulous, anxious. "Drowned? Where's his body?" "How do I know" Squint Itodnlne turned upon his questioner, "(iuess It's at the foot of the shaft. All I saw was bis hat. What'ro you so In toreMed for?" The questioner, small, goggle-eyed and given to rubbing bis bands, stared a moment siooclilesslj. "lie be bought n diamond from me this morning on the Installment plan !" Itodalne smiled again In his crooked fashion. "That's your own fault. Sam," he announced curtly. "If he's at the bot tom of the shaft, your diamond's there too. All I know about It Is that I was coming dowt from the Silver Queen when I saw this fellow go Into the tunnel of the lllue Poppy. He was all dressed up, else I don't guess I would have paid much attention to him. Hut ns It was, I kind of stopped to look, nnd seen it was Harry Har klns. who used to work the mine with this" he pointed to Falrchild "this fellow's father. About a minute later, I beard n yell, like somebody was In trouble, then n big splash. Naturally I run in the tunnel nnd struck a match. About twenty feet down. I could see the water was nil riled up, and a new hat was floating around on top or It. That's all I know. Ynu can do as you please about your diamond. I'm Jut giving you the Information." He turned ' sharply and went on then, while Sam the Jeweler, the rest of the loiterers clustered around hlin, looked nppeallngl.v towanl Falrchild, "Whnt'll we do?" he walled. Falrchild turned. "I don't I'flow about you tint I'm going to the m'ne." "It won't do any good bodies fon't float. It may never limit If It gets cnught down In the timbers some wlieres." "Have to organize n bucket bri gade." It was a suggestion from one of the crowd. "Why not borry the Argonaut pump They ain't using If." "Go get It' Go get It!" This time It was the wall of the little Jeweler. "Tell em Sam Herbenfelder sent you. They'll let ynu have It." Another suggestion, still another. Soon men began to radiate, each nn a mission. The word passed down the street. .More loiterers a sllier miner spends a great part of his leisure time In simply watching the crowd go by hurried to Join the excited throng. Groups, en route to the picture show, decided otherwise and Mopped to learn of the excitement. The crowd thickened. .Suddenly Falrchild looked up sharply at the sound of a feminine voice, "What's the matter" "Harry Harklns got drowned." All too willingly the news was dispersed. Falrchlld's eyes were searching now In i til. li.lMlnl.l !. ... . I ,,-,, hi,, KiiiM mi- mini nin'i'l bulbs. Then they centered. It wns Anita Itlchmnnd, standing nt the edge of the crowd, questioning a miner, while beside her was a thin, youthful counterpart of a hard-faced father, Maurice Itodalne. Just a moment of queries, then the miner's hand pointed to Falrchild as he turned toward her. "It's bis partner." Sho moved forward then and Fulr ehlld went to meet her. 'Tin sorry," she said, and extended her hand. Fulrehlld gripped It ea gerly. "Thiink you. Hut It may not be ns bad as the rumors." "I hope not." Then quickly she withdrew her hand, and somewhnt flustered, turned "as her companion edncil closer. "Maurice, this Is Mr, Fulrehlld," she announced, mid Fair child could do nothing but stare. She knew his name! A second more and It was explained: "My father knew Ids father very well," "I think my own father was ac quainted too," was the rejoinder, and Hie eyes of the two men met for nn Insliint In eonlllet. The girl did not seem fn notice.. "I sold lilin a ticket this morning to the dance, not knowing who lie was. Then father happened to see him puss the house mid pointed lilm out to inn as tho son of n former friend of his. I'linny how those things happen, Isn't It?" "Decidedly funny!" was the caustic rejoinder of the younger ltodnlne, Falrchild laughed, to cover the air of Intensity, He knew Instinctively that Anita Itlelimond was not talking to til in simply because she hud sold him u ticket to n iliinco and because her father might have pointed him out. He fell sum that there was something rl.e belilnd It- the feellns of it debt, which she owed him, n feeling of com paitlonshlp engendered upon n sunlit road, during the umtncntN of stress, and the continuance of that meeting In those few tnoinenlH In the drug store, when lie hud handed her back her teu-ilollar hill. She had culled herself a end then, mid the feeling (lint she perhaps hud been abrupt toward a man who had helped her out of it disagreeable predicament wns prompting her action now; Fulrehlld felt sure of that. And lie was glnd of the fact, very glad. Again he toughed, wtiiie itotiniiie o,cd him narrowly, Falrchild shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not going to believe this story until It's proven to me," came ciiluily. "Who nroiiglit tlie news?" Falrchild deliberately chose bis words : "A tall, thin, ugly old man. with mean squint eje and a scar straight up his forehead." A Hush appeared on the other man' fnce. Falrchild saw Ids hands con tract, then loosen. "You're trying to Insult my father! "Your father?" Fulrehlld loosed at him blankly. "Wouldn't that he rather dltllctilt Job -especially when I don t know hlin?" "You described him." "And you recognised tho deserlp turn. "Maurice! Slop It !" The girl was tugging at Itodulne's sleeve. "Don't say anything more. I'm sorry " and she looked at Falrchild with a glance bo could not Interpret "that anything like this could have come up." "I am equnlly so If It bus caused you embarrassment." "You'll get a little embarrassment out of It yourself before ou get "You're T-ylna to Intuit My Fathtrl" through! Itodalne wns scowling at him. Apt'n Anita Itlelimond cnught his arm. "Maurlrj! Stop It! How could the tl-'tng have been premeditated when he ill In't even know your father? Come let's go on. The crowd's getting thl-kor." The nnrrnw-farei! man obeyed her rommiuid, and together they turned out lulo the street to avoid the con stantly growing throng, ami to veer towanl the picture show. Carbide lights liml begun to appear along the street, as miners, summoned by hurrying gossip mongers, came for ward lo assist In the search for the missing man. High obove the gen eral conglomeration of voice could be heard the cries of (he Instigator of activities, Sam Herbenfelder, beinoiin- Ing the loss of his diamond, ninety per cent of the cost of which remiilnisl to be paid. Hastily he shot through the crowd, organizing the bucket bri gade and searching for news of the Argonaut pump, which had not yet arrived. Hiilf-dlsgusted. Falrchild turned and started up the bill, n few miners, their carbide lamps swinging beside them, following hlin. Falrchild turned nt the entrance of the mine snd waited for the tlrst ot the miners and the accompanying gleam of his carbide, Then they went within and to the shaft, the light shining downward upon the oily, black water below. Two objects floated there, n broken piece of timber, torn from the side of the shnft, where someone evidently hud grasped hastily at It In an effort to stop a fall, nnd n new, four-dented lint, gradually be. coming wuter-soaked and sinking slowly benenlli the surface. And then, for the tlrst time, fear clutched nt Fnlrchlld'H heart fear which hope could not Ignore, "There's his hat." Ft was a miner staring downward. Falrchild bad reen It, but he strove to put aside the thought, "True," he answered, "hut anyone could lose a hat) simply by looking over the islgo of fho shaft, Harry's n strong man. Certainly he would know how to wlm. And In any event he should have been nbln fo have kepi fillonl for at lenst a few minutes. Ito ilalne wiysj 1 lint ho hearil a shout and rati right In hrre; hut all that lie could we was milled water and a limit ing hat, I" Then he paused sud denly. II hud coiiio In him that Ito- daln Iiihl have helped lb the demise of Harry! Shouts sotitidisl from outside, and the roaring of a motor truck ns It made Its slow, tort'tous way up the bouhler-strewn r'nl with its gullies and InnuitK-niiilc ruts. Voices cmnn, rumbling and varied, Lights. Gain ing the mouth of the tunnel, Knlrchlld could see a mass of shallows outlined by tho carbides, nil following tho lead ership of it small, excited man, Sam Herbenfelder, still seeking bis diamond.. Tho big pump from the Argonaut tunnel wits nhoiird tho truck, which was followed by two oilier nutii ve hicles, each loaded with gasoline en gines anil smaller pumps, A hundred men were In the crowd, nil equipped' with ropes mid buckets. Silm llerlien folder's ieas hud been beard, The search wiis about to begin for !'. body of Hurry and the dlnmoml that circled one linger. And Fiilrrhlld has tened to do his part, Until far Into the night they worked and strained to put tho big pump Into position; while crews of men, four and live In n group, balled water us fast as possible, that Iho aguregate might bo lessened to tho greatest possible qxtont before Iho pumps, with their hoses, were attached, Then the gaso line engines begun to snort, great lengths of lulling were let down Into Iho shaft, and spurting water started down the mountain side as the task of unwnterliig the shaft begun. Hut It wns a slow Job, Morning found the distance to the water length ened by twenty to thirty feet, and the bucket brigades nearly at Iho end ol their ropes. Men trudged down the bills to .brenkfast, sending others In their places. I'nlrclilld stnjcd on to meet Mother Howard and assuage her uerioiisness as best ho could, dividing his time between her and the task be fore lil nt. Noon fo'tml more water than over tumbling down the hills the smaller pumps were working now In unison with the larger one. Afternoon--jnd moot of Oluidl wiis there, Falrchild could distinguish the form of Anltu Itlelimond In the hundreds ot women and men clutcicd about the opening of the tunnel, and for once she was not In the company of Mau rice Itoiliilne. Ho bun led to her and she smiled at bis approach, (To Do Continued.) FIRE EQUIPMENT IS DONATED BY MILLS Hireo l.lne "Siamese" l-'ccd to Make, Possible .Much Gi cuter Degree Of Witter Pressure.
