J. Ruiter. Taken before Justice of the Peace L. L. Swan this morning. Albrecht waived examination and was bound over for the action of the grand jury under bonds of $3000. The arrest occurred yesterday af ternoon shortly after 5 o'clock in a tool house of the Southern Pacific located just south of the city limits where the railroad crosses the water canal. According to the story told the of ficers by Ruiter, father of the girl, who resides in the south end, he and his wife returned home yesterday af ternoon from a buggy ride, to find their home in turmoil and several em pty beer bottles strewir about the room. He said that when they left the daughter was at home alone. Find ing the home in this condition he im mediately sought the girl when he was told by a neighbor that, she had gone walking up the railroad track with a man. Ruiter ' then notified Constable John Catlin who in com pany with his step son John H. Dud bridge, proceeded to the scene. ..Arriving at. the Ruiter home, they were joined by the father of the girt and proceeded up the railroad track. Coming to the tool house, ami notic ing the door ajar, Catlin and the two men opened it and walked in. There they found Albrecht and Adelaide in a compromising position. A bottle of beer was beside them. The girl was completely exhausted and apparently lying in a faint when the men entered. She was assisted to her feet but could hardly stand under the influence of liquor. Assisted home by her father, it is claimed it was sometime before she regained her senses and vowed she did not know what had happened. Today she is reported as fairly recovered. Albrecht was brought, to town and placed in the county jail. Following his appearance before Judge Swan this morning, Albrecht was returned to the county jail. tor Edward Steele arrived here fifty minutes after leaving North Bend. lie ran into a rain storm and was compelled to land. He will soon resume the trip to Ya- fjuina. (5)(- Aviator Passes Florence. Florence, Or., Sop. 22. Aviator Steele passed here safely. He is traveling at a rapid rate of speed on his trip to Yaqiua.
