Horee Thieves Captured.
Our town experienced a ripple of ex
citement early last Sunday morning by
the capture of two horee thieve in
town, who had Wen trailed by partiet
from Monument.
On Christmat night four young men,
named Wyland, Dlakeney, Green and
Jackson, of Cluckimat county, who had
been at work near Monument for some
time, attended A dance there and all got
glorloualy drunk. They concluded to
return to the valley, but before starting,
the quartet, three of whom had horset,
ttole a horse from Geo. Irvin ( brother-in-law
to Wyland) and saddle from
Win. Sweek and all lit out. At Hay
stack two of them, Green and Jackson,
separated from the othera and went by
way of Fossil, while Walt Wyland and
Blakeney came by way of Lone Rock
and Condon, stopping Saturday night at
Hob Looney'a ranch, three miles south
of Condon. .
Mr. Irvin, Joe Putnam and Hob Cart
ner started at once in pursuit of the
thieves, arriving here on Sunday morn
ing about daylight. Here they learned
that the boyt were at Looney'a place
and that they would come through town
that morning, to with the assistance of
Sheriff Wilcox and bit deputy, Tom
Johnson, they "laid for them." Ins
few minutes the boyt came riding into
town and were "bagged" almost before
they knew what was op. They were at
once searched and locked up in the jail,
while Mr, Irvin went down to Looney't
place and got the stolen horse, which
Wyland had traded to a Mr. Andrews,
who wat also at Looney's ranch.
Next morning all of them started for
Monument, where the boyt were to
have a preliminary examination before
justice ltuwman, and no doubt by this
time they are in the Canyon City jail,
candidates for the penitentiary.
Wyland It one of the tougheat roosters
on the coast, having already served one
term In the penitentiary, and recently
escaped from the Oregon City jail, where
he wat awaiting the action of the grand
jury on a charge of burglary; We un
derstand that an effort is being made to
capture tl e other pair of thieves that
went by way of Fossil, with what auc
cea we have not learned.

We understand there will be three oi

three such machines this ennui v should

gon, fvext to good soil in a country is
good roads, and without the latter "the
urn noes not amount to much in a ti
ns ncinl sense. The day is not far dis
tant when the road tax will be paid in
cash and men liired to do the work, in
stead of It'll I nit men to put in their time
"visiting out" their road tax every year.
the tax iu cash would keep goi'id men
ut work Kill the roads and do the work
where needed the most. Some sections
tinder tin? present system have plenty of
work assessed tliein, hut prohatily in
that immediate locality there is but
little work required. It would lie much
better for several giaid men to look after
the roads through the county and make
uniform roads evervw here.
