Mar hfiold, Ore. Nov. lfi-Ray S.
i jnch, returned . to Coos County the
other day after an absence of several
j cars., is now awaiting trial in the
J'ouj'L-1-.s County. jail, at Roseburg
o i the charge of having tortured and
ibbed Frank Cuean, an aged ran
c i r near Loon Lake, 1st Thursday.
Bur h is supposed to be the man
who applied at the cabin of Mr. Cu
ean Thursday evening for food and
flieltcr and was taken in by the. old
nan after eating, the two men talked
for some time and then retired. Short
1 after midnight. Cuean was awakenc
by a blow on the head and found the
younj' man standing over him with p.
gun nl his hand. Stating that hr
vis after money, the strahg"er con
tinned to Iteat Cuean until the latter
revealed a cam in which ho had ?2C
hidden away.
Not satisfied with . this amount
Punch continued to n'buso his bone
fictor and finally poured oil on tlif
bed clothes near Mr. Cuean's feet and
touched a match to it. Previous tc
iiwakening tlio old man, Bunch had
ted him down.
It appears that the robber must
li'ivo been more or less familiar with
trie halrits of Cuean, for he demanded
the rest of the money that was in the
house. Striurirlinir manfully to re
sist the demands of his assaulter, Mi
Cuean held out. until the flames begar
to' scorch his feet, then told the fiom'
where lie would find about f3.80 more
whereupon Bunch boat out the flmo!
but left the old man bound.
During all this performance Buncl
sat by and watched the aged man suf
far, punctuating the torture every fov
rocond.i with the remark ho (Cuean)
would tell wljere the money was be
fire long.
After securing the money Buncl
helped himself to Cuean's lantern anc
an old hat and dopartcd westward, to
wards I.oon Lake.
Friday morning Mr. Cuean succeed
fd in freeing himself from his bond,
a id wont to a neighbors, who- spreac
t ,c alarm. Friends at onco startec
in pursuit of the robber and a descrip
tion of the man was sent out to ab
cf tho surrounding towns. Justice of
the Peace Ernest Haskell arrested
Bunch in Gardiner, Friday night am
he va- at once sent to Roseburg ii
enre of a constable, as it was 'feared
he would bo lynched if found by the
f 'lends of Cuean.
It m, aot known how soon Cuean wil
le able to go to Roseburg to complete
the id-n' ideation of tho man in cus
tody ho is in critical condition at
liio pi t .sent time. Bosidos having hii

LOON LAKE ROBBERY
RESEMBLES WEST CASE
The arrest of the man giving the
name of Ray S. Bunch, and supposed
to bo the fiend who tortured adn rob
bed Frnk Cuean, the aged Loon Lake
resident, may throw a now light on
the Mathow West case. Similiarity
in the two cases is striking and it is
thought that perhana the same mun
porpetrated boh crimes and that West
was murdered for his money, $00 he
was known o have being missing when
his body was found.
Following out thes uposition of tho
officers that West was killed and then
taken to the spot where lie was found
and that his body was severed in the
middle while ho wns undressed, his
clothes being, subsequently put on
and the body laid across n log to give
the apoarancc that the position had
auscd the body to brpak apart, lends
color to the similiarity.
West was known to have had con
siderable money on and about his per
son at different times which fact could
have been easily determined by any
person. Indications am that he waf.
interrupted in the course of a meal
as the table was all set and mouldy
foodstuffs were on tho table when he
was first discovered missing.
