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.

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

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

CELLS FOR
DEATH OF CO-ED
WHITE RIVER, Apucho Reserva

The arrests were made among a
small but lawless group of Indians I
who live with their more peaceful
kin on the Apache reservation here.
The names of the suspects were not
disclosed. Another was hunted.
Announcement of t.'io arrests was
made after a coroner's Jury had
lldtencd to testimony from officials
indicating that the young woman,
U3-year old research worker in
anthropology from Cqlumb.14 Univer
sity, Now York, had been attacked
and slain.
Tho key that might unlock the
mystery of hor death was found by
authorities In her cabin ami frag
ments of the Information found
through it were disclosed. Authori
ties said viey bad obtained a let
ter, sealed but not mailed, which
she had wrlttwn to relatives in Now
York Buying she had muttm to four
for hor life. She mentioned the
actions of an unidentified Apache
man.
The rdmalnrier of the Indians,
among whom she had worked In her
efforts to learn the customs ami be
liefs of their IIvm. ,had treated her
courteously and nhown a spirit of
frlendltueHS, she wrote, but oue man
had tried to molest her and she
planned to be alone with him at
no time.
She had participated In the weird,
grotrsque dances of the tribe In her
