Bareheaded with her hair streaming

sweaier with a pair of overalls reefed
at the bottom, Stella Morgan with
Melvin I'eebler, also bearheaded and
weary from a thrilling attempt to
cross the mountains with his irl
companion, riding horses alleged to
have been stolen, arrived here last
night at o'clock in the custody of
Deputy Sheriff II. R. Slavins, who
arrested them at Sweet Home yes
terday morning. Slavins also re
turned the two horses, the buggy and
a saddle, alleged to have been tak

Upon arriving here Deputy Sheriff
Slavins immediately turned his pris

I'eebler was placed in the eounly jail
on a warrant sworn out against him
by the Albany Stables on a charge

Speeding of Motorvehicles on
Steel Bridge is Checked
by County Court.
Thut the provisions of a notice
placed on the steel bridge yester
day, regulating the speeding of auto
mobiles and motorcycles and apply
ing to teams as well, will be rigidly
enforced was the declaration of Con
stable John Catlin this morning.
"J-'or the benefit of automooilUts,
motorcyclists and drivers of teams,"
said the constable, "I would like tor
it to be known that drivers of ve
hicles exceeding a speed limit of six
miles per hour in crossing the bridge
hereafter will be Mibpeeted to arrest
and upon conviction will be fined
from $10 to $!'). All teams will be
required to walk and motorcyclists
are cautioned not to exceed six miles
per hour. I have been detailed by
the county court to watch traffic
across the bridge and for any viola
lion of the new regulation I am In
structed to arrest any person and
this 1 most certainly will do. East
driving across this bridge has cost
the county much money in repairing
damage in keeping up the bridge and
it is to this reason that the court has
resorted to this drastic action."
Constable Catlin has already stop
ped manv automobiles and motor
cycles and cautioned the drivers
about the new regulations before they
were allowed to proceed across the
bridge.

That he led the first cow to be re
ceived in Cordova, Alaska, through
the streets of that city, after it was
unloaded from a freight steamer from
San Francisco, was the declaration
made today by George Rolfe, man
ager of the RoUc theater of this city,
who in company with District At
torney Gale S. Hill and Cloyd D.
Rauch, both of this city, recently
returned from a three weeks' tour of
Alaska.
Mr. Rolfe relates the incident. "We
boarded a steamer at Seattle on which
were a number of stampeders from
California, enroute to the Sunshine
strike. Arriving Cordova, we went
to Seward and returned to Cordova,
just as freight steamer arrived from
San Francisco with goods and pro
visions consigned to those going to
the strike. Included in the shipment
were several horses ana one cow
As
friend whom I had made on the trip
from Seattle, asked if I wanted a
job. I went with him and he asked
me to lead the cow up to the bam,
which I did while he followed with
the horses. People flocked from ev
ery direction to sec it and I was fol
lowed by a large crowd all the way
up the street. Later I learned, from
which I consider an authortative
source, that it was the first cow to
appear in Cordova. That's as far as
the cow got into Alaska, for the own
ers found out that they could not
get her across the Skoli pass to Su
shanaand she was sold to a butcher."
Having no particular reason to
doubt Mr. Rolfe in his declaration in
claiming such a rare honor, the fore
going was tfiven. upon an agreement
that "George" will be the "goat." To
substantiate his declaration Rolfe is
exhibiting pictures of himself taken
the cow. He mviteu an
to inspect them.
