Kl
Ybiing Mill Worker
And Sick
Back Photographs
Chief of Police Harry M. Loucks Per
forms Good Samaritan Act for
Which Acting District Attorney
Myers Demanded $25 From Couple
Routine police duty was
by Chief of Police Harry M. Loucks while he performed
a good Samaritan act for a young mill worker and his
cickly wife, and thereby kept $25 out of the eager palms
of Acting District Attorney W. P. Myers.
E. W. Giles, employed on
Box factory, has been renting a house at 1433 Fremont
street from Mrs. Anna A. Hodgins, for which he paid $15
per month.
WIFE IS SICKLY
Because of the noise and disturbances about the neigh
borhood, Mrs. Giles, who is under a physician's care,
could not live in the place, so Giles found another house
List Saturday and moved into it.
His rent was paid up until
possession a rent receipt signed by Mrs. Hodgins.
In moving their belongings from the home, Mr. and
Mrs. Giles forgot two pictures
taken at the time of their marriage. '
Giles returned to the
asked permission to enter
that he might procure the pictures. Mrs. Hodgins refused
his request and locked the door in his face. She told him
he had no business in the house, according to his story,
in spite of the fact that he was still in legal possession
until next Sunday as the renter.
MYERS WANTS FEE
Anxious to get the two photographs, Giles then went
to the court house and presented the case to Acting Dis
trict Attorney W. P. Myers.
"There is nothing I can do for you,", he quotes Myers
as saying; "that is, nothing I can do for you as district
attorney.
"But if you will pay me
will take your case in the
photographs for you."
But young Giles didn t have the $25. His wife just re
cently returned from the hospital and every penny counts
with hospital and doctor bills staring him in the face.
And furthermore, he didn t think he should be com
pelled to pay an acting district attorney $25 for getting
two photographs which were rightfully his in a house of
which he still had legal possession.
MISJUDGES PROSECUTOR
Instead, he thought the acting district attorney could
give him t search warrant on his statement of facts and
get the photographs for him. In fact, he thought the act
ing district attorney would be glad to perform this ser
vice for a resident of the city.
So young Giles told Myers that he could not and would
not pay him $25 as a private attorney to get possession
of the photographs for him.
Chief of Police Harry M. Loucks was told of the affair
this morning. -
"Sure, I'll help the young fellow out," he gladly as
sented. LOUCKS GLADLY HELPS
A few minutes later the young mill worker accom
panied Chief Loucks to the Hodgins home, and without
so much as an argument the Hodgins woman, on demand
of the chief, produced the two photographs.
Young Giles was wearing a happy smile as he told his
story. '
"My wife isn't feeling very good this morning," he
said. "But she will sure be tickled when she sees me
coming home with our two' pictures. We decided last
night if we had to go to the courts to get them we would,
although we could not afford to do it.
"But, thank goodness, the chief of police got them for
us, and it didn't cost us a cent. There's sure a lot of dif
ference, in the way people treat you."

B. F. "Bud" Moe, former
manager of the Pine Tree
theater, was arrested at his
father's home in Kellogg,
Idaho, last night, charged
with the theft of $2200 of
funds from his former em
ployers, the George H.

ordered and Klamath
friends of the young man
stood ready this afternoon

voluntarily to face the
charge, according, to tele
graphic information., re
ceived by friends. , V
The warrant for his ar
rest was sworn out shortly
before noon today by Harry
Poole, the new Pine Tree
manager. Mr. Poole signed
the complaint on telegraphic In
structiens from George M.' Mann,
anil not of his own volition. v ..
Poole Horry
"Signing that complaint was one
of ths hxrdest things ever did,"
said Mr: Poole .this afternoon. , "I
have nothing In the world against
Bud; in fact, I am sorry for the boy,
and If there . is anything I can
personally do to aid him In hit
present difficulty, I will bo only too
glad to do it." '
