BEN LINDA wmw o 0 Dl FIRS I PICKING PACKING PEARS NOWUNDERWAY Former Local Attorney, ' About to Be Delivered to Bondsmen and Facing ' Jail, Goes for Lunch, Fails i to Return. Ben F. Lindas, former local attor ney, candidate for Mayor during tlic "nlggor-tn- th o-woodpile" campaign, and well known for his active par ticipation In civic affairs, end his oratorical efforts, has disappeared, ac cording to the Oregon City Enterprise, which gives the following account of his latent troubles: Benjamin P. Lindas, former attor ney of Oregon City, who Is facing a charge of converting to hip own use money given as tender in court, vas brought to this city Thursday by his bondsman to be surrendered to the a her Iff, but from all Indications the "near" prisoner Is fur from the coun ty jail. - Lindas' escape was not sensational, In fact he morely "walked out" on the bondnman and disappeared before he could be turned over to the sher iff. The bondsman, Edwin Moser. of Portland, handed Sheriff Mass a writ ten statement that he was turning unaas over for the purpose of gaining the $1000 bond and the sher iff then wrote a receipt that he had ; received the prisoner but did not sign it. Aftks PermlHKlon to !eavo Lindas asked permission of Moser to go to a nearby restaurant for lunch and when this was granted, he left the courthouse. He was seen to walk port way across Main street and then retrace his steps and walk south on Mn,in. Ho waa later seen ncaring Seventh but that was the last report of him. It Is gonorally believed Lin das took a stage for Portland. Lindas was Indicted by the grand Jury May HI on a charge of convert ing to his own use $610.00 given ns tender in the atoll vs. Randall case. He waa arrested In Portland May 29 and after several hours secured bonds To then succeeded In having the trial postponed from early this month to the 28th on the grounds that some of his Important witnesses could not appear on the earllor date. t MiMter I'Nes Force Lindas has been In Benttle most of the time since his Indictment, and a few: days ago Moser began to worry about his showing up .for trial. Wed denday afternoon Moser drove to Se attle and located Lindas, who was In formed that It was the bondsman's Intention to surrender htm. Moser said that at first Lindas re fused to go with him, but when the bondsman covered him with a re volver and threatened to "bend it over the attorney's head," thoro was no further argument. On reaching the courthouse Thurs day shortly after noon, Lindas In formed Sheriff Mass he had secured a new bond, which he wanted to sub mit to the court. 1 - The question was brought up after Lindas' disappearance wholher or not Moser would be entitled to the bond he had posted. Mosor claims ho sur rendered Lindas to the sheriff and stated that tho unsigned receipt was proof. Sheriff Mass stated ho had not recoived Lindas and the receipt was pot valid as It was not signed, i Krrelnt )urMllonable However, that Item will probably pot make any difference In the case pnd the bond will stand. Several per- 5nns believe the receipt, due to Its for mation, Is valid,- but It is understood hat the prisoner could not he deliv ered to the sheriff until after the court had given tho order and also It would bo tho place of the court to deliver the' bond.. When arrested, Lindas denied the charge, claiming lie had represented the Randalls In four cases and that he $(110.00 was merely attorney fees. Ho admits taking tho money but claimed there was nothing criminal In that It was his. f, Season Will Not Start Ful Swing Until Next Week- Local Organizations Em ploying Home Labor. SEE VALLEY TREES A party of fruit growers from rant cm cities, who arrived In Me it ford in .a special car on the Southren Pacific yesterday noon, left on their car on the Shasta last evening, for San Fran cisco. The group was UUten about tho valley to view numerous orchards and packing plants, and four of the party motored to Crater Lake. -'Members of tho fruitgrowers group "were R. W. Chllcock of Vienna. Va E. P. Wenmer of Dearborn, Mich., Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Trach of Pentmylvania. Mr. and Mrs. p. A. Sallibuiy of Phelps, N. Y . O. p. Rneckert of Balti more, Mr., Mr. and Mrs. J. 8.

Mr. Hansen is 88 years old. and was reported tato last -evening as getting along fairly welt. Information as to the cause of the Injury was not available. 4 Rate for out-of-town trip. Tel. The picking and packing of the Baltic tt pear crop of tho Rogue river valley will be In full swing the end of the coming week, and all the pack Ing houses of the district will be In operation Monday, August 3. The first Eastern shipment Is scheduled to leave the night of Tuesday, Au gust 4th. Borne of the orchards started to pick Friday of last week, and some will start picking this week, but the main body of the orchards will not start before the end of the present week. The warm weather has brought some of the pears along fast, and as ucuul tho sizes vary. The Rogue River Traffic association last week voted to ship nothing but size 100 or larger, in order to keep up the quality, on tho grounds that the prices secured by California growers this year was due to the elimination of the small er sizes. The Traffic association also ruled to hire only local labor insofar as possible during the fruit season. All the Oregon owned conerns are follow ing this ruling", but some of the California-controlled plants were reported Saturday as hiring California packers and workers. Many of tho large or chards, such astho Bear Creek or chard, wero employing only home labor, and taking precautions to make sure they were bona fide resi dents. Many of the California work ers have been employed for years by the same company, and move annuul ly from the orange crop )f the south, to the apples of the north. It Is also expected that the coming week will seo activity in the cannery buying, which to date have bought about 7600 tons of valley Bartletts at prices ranging from $27.50 to $22.60. Some of the growers are hold ing back for higher prices from C30 to $35 per ton. There Is no accurate barometer on what the Eastern prices will be, but most growers say "they will be bettor than last yoar, and we will have a. chance to mako a little." There has been no Influx of trans ient labor so far, to tho valley for tho fruit work, and none Is antici pated, 1 CELLS FOR DEATH OF CO-ED WHITE RIVER, Apucho Reserva tion, Aril!.. July 26.
