Man Wanted Here Is Arrested
At Bend On Charge Of Robberv
John Tuel, Ex-Convict Indicted Here For
Burglary, Gets Into More Trouble After
He Is Allowed Freedom on Own
Recognizance
John Tuel, arrested here about two months ago as a
burglary suspect and later released on his own recog
nizance "so he could support his family," wa sarrested
at Bend yesterday for an alleged robbery committed at
Prineville the day before, according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Bend today.
Local authorities have been searching for Tuel since
the grand jury last week returned a secret indictment
against him, charging him with burglary. He is alleg
ed' to have stolen a quantity of women's wearing apparel
in a house near Broad street.
Tuel also was arrested on
en into the Loter brothers
suspected of having entered the house where the cloth
ing was stolen. The loot in the latter case , was later
recovered.
Tuel, an ex-convict, was placed in the county jail to
await grand jury investigation. But before the grand
jury had an opportunity to pass on the case, representa
tions were made to the court that TueFs family was in
distress and he was given his release on condition that
he would go to work and provide for them.
According to reports from Bend when officers picked
him up yesterday he had in his possession a marked coin
aken from the Prineville robbery. Whether or not he
will be returned here to face trial for burglary or will be
prosecuted at Prineville could not be learned this after
noon. '

when Louis K. Porter, con

W. W. radical literature
hidden underneath the cor
ner stone, which was laid
amidst appropriate cere
monies on Armistice day.
Beneath the corner stone,
there was an aperture into
which the tobacco cans were
slid. This space was to have
been filled with concrete
this afternoon and the anti
American Legion and anti-
government literature would
have been securely lodged
in the legion building inde
finitely. Wednesday uftefnoon the corner
stone was laid. The ceremonies at
tending were the feature of the
Armistice day program. Hundreds
crowded 'around the , building to
hear the speech by George Griffith,
past state commander, and to view
the laying of the corner stone.
Wednesday night, the building
was bathed in the light of a search
light shining-from the county couvl
house. But the "Wobbly" prowler
sneaked in through the opposite
side of the incompleted structure
and placed his infamous literature,
secure in the protection of tho
shadows.
Found by Chance
Porter, .who Is the contractor con
structing the building, just happen
ed on the two tobacco cans by
chance. On the job yesterday morn
ing, he glanced underneath the cor

cans. An investigation disclosed
their fiery contents. The principles
of I. W. W.Ism, the "Wobbly" side
ot the Ccotralia Armistice day
