"We are shipping all the unemploy
ed men and hoboes south," said Con
stable John Catliu this morning," and
all of them appear to be satisfied.
They don't want to go back north.
Last night 38 members or army No.
2, were sent south from here."
Part of army No. 2, which was es
corted by the sheriff of Polk county
from McCoy Saturday to the county
line and told to keep on moving, hit
the Oregon Electric from the Sidney
Mill Road yesterday morning and
walked to Dcvcr. Fearing trouble and
that they would make good their
threats to use lorce to secure food,
the farmers of the neighborhood as
sembled at the station last night to
prevent damage 'to property. Sheriff
P.odine was telephoned at Albany and
he detailed three deputy sheriffs to
tile scene.
Catlin Confers With Leaer.
Constable Catliu and Jim Groshong
and F. Carmickle were those detailed.
Upon arriving the constable went to
the camp of the invaders, which was. I
in a grove. The men were making up i
mulligans from potatoes. After a con
ference, the leaders and the constable
decided the the band would move on
to Albany.
After the mulligan stew was eaten,
the 46 started out. accompanied by
the three deputies. They arrived here
shortly before 11 o'clock. Eight of
the men. however, footsore and worn
cut, were left at Cousor. The remain
ing number of 38 hoarded an empty
car of through southbound freight
"No. 221 at about 12 o'clock and are on
their way to California.
Constable Catlin states that when
the army left McCoy, 10 deserted and
that they were followed by the reput
ed leader, Captain Rice and his wife,
who returned to Portland by train.
The constable said that!, a man appear
ing to be 'a Louisianan Creole was in
command at Devcr.
Rimers Army Marches South.
Having been given breakfast at
Harrisburg yesterday morning, where
hcv were a!;o sheltered for the night.
Rimers' unemployed forces, left by
the way of the Oregon Electric tracks
southward bound, 54 strong, without
giving the authorities any trouble.
It is reported that they arrived at
Junction City shortly after 12 o'clock
yesterday and were escorted through
the city by a large delegation of cit
izens. The last report received here
is that they are making for Eugene.
Mayor I. W. Davis, of Harrisburg.
this morning stated over the telc-
phone that no more delegations of
uncmplnycd would be tolerated there.
'Ve will disregard their demands and
they will be escorted right out of the
citv immediately after their arrival,'
said the mayor, "and I would like this
fact to be generally known."
That these unemployed armies will
eventually break tip and scatter is
the belief of Constable Catlin. Ho
says they are apparently getting j Auctioin Sale Well Attended. The

constable's ingenuity in handling such
men. Albany would today probably be
housing another bunch similar to
those who were ousted Friday. The
constable said he recocrnirrd many

HELPLESS SUP
Yellowstone Refuses Tow Line
from Catonia Although Main
Mast and Fuel Is Gone.
CAPTAIN DESIRED TO SAVE
SALVAGE ON VESSEL
Yellowstone Is Eighteen Miles
off from Coos Bay and
Badly Damaged.
(Iy United Press Association)
jMarsniicKi, ur., Jan. IV. A wire-
less received at noon staled that the!
crew of the steam schooned Yellow
stone, which with its main and mizzen
masts gone, fuel exhausted, rudder
lost, is helpless, eighteen miles off
Coos Bay, had refused to take a tow
line from the steamer Catania which
laid by all night waiting for daylight
to give her assistance. It is presumed
that the captain of the Yellowstone
believed he could make port without
the aid of the other vessel, thus sav
in salvage charges.
The Catania proceeded on its way
but the steamer Chatham is standing
by the Yellowstone. News of the
Yellowston's plight was. brought here
lyestcrday. by the schooner Fair Oaks,
which had. abandoned the plan of tow
ing the Yellowstone because she her
self was badly damaged, and short
f of fuel and water.

$125 REWARD OFFERED
FOR BODY OF FRITZ BINDING
Friends of Man Who Myster
iously Disappeared Monday
Are Fearful.
Five intimate friends of Fritz Bind
ing have offered a reward of $125 to
the person producing the body of
Binding, who mysteriously disappear
ed last Monday from the home ot
Henry Suessens.
Although officers and relatives and
friends of the missing man have been
constantly on the search for him,
nothing has been heard of him since
he left the Suessens home, where he
was staying.
Fear is expressed that Binding has1
met with foul play or that he has
committed suicide. However, no pos
sible theory has been advanced on
these accounts.
Binding was a retired farmer, hav
ing recently sold a tract of land near
r.'ingeut. Me had come to Albany to
make his home and had only lived
here a few days when he disappeared.
He was unmarried and his age is giv
en as ou. lie is ot tier man decern
ind during Judge Galloway's recent
enn of court was granted his final
itizenship papers.
It was at 10:30 o'clock last Mon
day morning that Binding was last
seen -to leave the Suessens home on
East Water street and as far as is
known has not been seen since. Tt
is said that the night before Binding
was feeling in good spirits and had
been in splendid health for some time

each having 17. Albany No. 4 is only

probable thait, precincts in many other
parts of ' the county have as many
voters registered as the precincts in

yet so the names have not been en
tered on the books.
The oldest, voter thus far registered
