P. Tucker yesterday. The county jail sentence was suspended upon payment of the costs. Davis had no money, so the friend paid them and drove Davis back to Gold Hill. The friend, whose name was not revealed, said he had known Davis for 14 years and never before had he acted the way he did Sunday. Officers suspected that Davis had partaken of liquor from Mexico, and it was more potent than he reckoned. Livestock Portland, Ore., June 28 (TJP) Livestock: , Cattle, 200; calves, 100.
