Not much surprise was created In
this vicinity when the federal grand
jury in Portland, In its report made
Saturday, returned an indlctmont
against W'llliam E. Collins and Sam
Slide for burglarizing the Phoenix
postofflce. Another indictment re
turned against tho two men was for
the attempted burglary of the post
offico at Riddle. Slide was indicted
under the name Sam Rubber.
Last week all the Phoenix and Med
ford witnesses who testified against
Collins and Slide at their preliminary
hearing in this city and who were
summoned to testify against them at
their trial in circuit court, gave their
testimony again bofore the grand jury
at Portland.
It will bo remembered that at their
trial in Jacksonville Collins and Rub
ber, alias Slide, were given their free
dom on motion of their attorney, E.
E. Kelly, when he called attention to
a technical fault in the Indictment.
The erstwhile prisoners lost no time
in heading northward. It is claimed
that they burglarized a store in Glen
dale and committed other burglaries
before they were captured In Riddle.
The circumstantial evidence against
the two men In connection with the
Phoenix burglary is much stronger
now than before, as on the third man
connected with them In the Riddle at
tempted burglary was found several
of the gold nuggets which were stolen
from the safe of tho Phoenix Mercan
tile company.
Several months ago Collins and
Slide and two other burglars were re
leased from the1 San Quentln, Califor
nia, penitentiary. Prior to their In
carceration at San Qttentin, Collins
served a term in the Walla Walla,
Washington, penitentiary.
Collins and Slide are suspected of
numerous postofflce burglaries In the
Pacific Coast country, and the postof
flce authorities are bending every ef
fort to fasten on them as much as
possible so as to keep them in Im
prisonment for years to come.
Neither the Medford police nor the
Jackson county authorities know any
thing about Donald Mathcson, the ac
complice of Slldo and Collins in the
Riddle affair. He was also Indicted
by the federal grand Jury.

Let each man think, as ho celebrates
tho Birthday of our Nation, what Inde
pendence means. It gives him tho right
to live- his life, unhampered by laws to
restrict his freedom or his progrosslve

thus provido independence for his old
age, every facility tor doing so is his.
And ho will profit by his wisdom.
