SfoRTMO Club Reporter.
The following from the Review, of
Roseburgv emphasizes the-mioertalnty
of buying subpoenas before county
courts have passed on the claims: "F.
L. Leonard was arrested Friday morn
ing by Marshal Carroll and : locked up
In the city jail, charged with obtaining
money by false pretenses. . Leonard
was a witness In the 'Hero' Richard
son case and was subpoenaed in Rose
burg. He claimed mileage from Port
land, 30S miles, and one day's attend
ance, amounting to $41.60, .when he
was only entitled to one day's attend
ance and two miles, amounting to
$2.20. He disposed of his claim to Mrs.
Nellie Moore, who caused his arrest,
At the examination before Justice
Hamlin it was found that Leonard
really had no intention of swindling,
and thought he was entitled to the
amount claimed. It seems that be
came from Portland at the request of
the prosecuting attorney but was not-
subpoenaed uhtil after he arrived In
Roseburg, and the county court would
only allow him twenty cents mileage.
As a consequence Mrs. Moore is out
considerable money.
On Monday evening there arrived ia
this place two gentlemen with a trunk
full of notions which they intended to
sell at auction on our streets, but upon
application- to the authorities for a li
cense they were informed that the foe
tor such a privilege is $10 which scared
them out. They went across the bridge
and proceeded to sell their goods, but
owing to the scarcity of buyers the
unction soon came to an. end. We
have no objection whatever to these
gentlemen or to their business, but we
do feel like crawling out.nn the balco
ny of enthusiasm and- sending up a
hurrah for the honorable oity council
of North Rrownsville for their recent
action in raising the license for street
peddlers. The merchant pays his tax
es and helps to keep up the city and
why Bhould he not be protected in
Ills business interests. It seems u.
though every swind'lcjeverj introduced
iu the state of Oregon during the past
five years has been by some unknown
power directed to this place, but thanks
to the rulers of our city, the money
earned here shall be kept and snjoyed
in our city instead of being drugged
from our city by Itinerant dealers.
