The property gradually
slopes down to the lake.
There is a constant breeze
blowing down the lake that
eliminates the primary nui

Within a year, a new

AFTER ROBBERY
Local Garage is Looted of
$47.45 by Three Un
masked Outlaws
SHERIFFS NOTIFIED
Belief That Convicts Staged
Job is Discounted by
Local Officers
Three unmasked robbers
looted the till of the John
son Garage on 724 Klam
ath avenue shortly after
midnight last night of
.$47.45 and escaped to the
north in an enclosed Buick
car owned by Luke E. Walk-
er, which was stolen from
in front of his house on 123
N. Fifth street at midnight.
A theory propounded by
police officers and based on,
la statement of G. A. Hayes,
'night man at the garage,
Iwho was forced to open the
tilt that the robbers -were
'the escaped convicts, was
I discounted today after B
icoi c taoi ugit uvfcbMgation
was conducted.
Suspicl:n of the sheriffs office
centers about the cobber ,ho loot
ed s!. bunk houses of the Ewauna
llox company. Tuesday nilf'U whose
Identity could nJt be as:crtalnod, by
aulh'jritf.os. It is tlrausht quite
possible that the three men have
been hiding out and made their
clas'i fjr freedom last aight, stop
piiiR only 1 ing enonsh to loot the
garage of the contents of Its till.
Hayes Identifies One
In support of the theory Uhat the
robbery was .committed by the three
escaped .Dnvlct-uurderers from
Salem arc the following facts:
1 T.ie number of the robbers
was three.
2 O. A. Hayes tijeught that one
of t ie men bore a resemblance bo
the c:uvict Murray, when ho was
shown the convu-t's picture. Ho ad
mitted that he coull he wrong,
however.
3 A car without gasoline and
with the steering wheel locked was
found this morning ono mile oast
ct town, by the sheriff's office. .
Other Theories
Theories f authorities dlso.'iint-
Ing the belief tii.it the convt.-ts were
the perpetrators of the robbery are: '
1 The three mca would naturally j
separate after affectChg their escape. '
2 With 4of in cash In their 1
pockets, t.'.ey would w.'t risk capture
by a petty robbery.
3 -Reports from Salem yesterday I
were a the effect that the convicts I
were near S-llverton.
4 If tho three men were e.-uvlcts ;
I they would have driven south In
stead Jf hack north by way cf The
j Datloa-diittor'nta highway.

this afternoon apparently
reached a stalemate in the

' hat they are no nearer

they began.
One by one the few leads
that have been reported and
have developed have been
cast aside as worthless, and
the . hunt was being con
tinued in the Pratum and
Drift Creek nelghborhOJd On the
thoory that the men are s'.1 11 la
