Four Arrested
In Robbery Case
Two juveniles, 14 and 16
vears old, ana two youins, rercy
Ball and Alfred Butler, both
about 21. are being held at
Chiloquin in connection with
the robbery of the Oregon state
liquor store early Tuesday.
District Attorney Clarence A
Humble said today that he con.
frrred with Justice of the Pracc
Flovd Peters and Special Indian
Officer John Arkell, and Ad
vised that he wished the case
referred to the FBI and federal
adpnts in Portland. It is orob-
able that complaints will be
filed in federal court ana not
locally in view of the fact that
the act was allegedly committed
by Indian boys and on the In
dian reservation.
The four are said to have
broken a four-by-six plate glass
display window early Tuesday
morning, gaining entrance to
the store. The loot included
four cases of beer and four
cases of wine. A portion of the
stolen property was recovered
later in the day by Deputy Sher

The Norwegian home forces
rounded up 400 other quislings
throughout the capital. Mean
while, plans to remove German
troops from principal cities to
central assembly points for
moral surrender went forward
in conferences -between -Brigadier
R. Hilton, chief of the al
lied control commission, and
Maj.-Gen. Holte, chief of staff
to the German commander in
Norway. .
Quisling was assigned to a
cell in the famed Mocllegatan
19 prison, from which hundreds
of his own political prisoners
have been released since Ger
many's capitulation.
Violence Breaks Out
The first outbreak of violence
occurred in Oslo during the
night when two Norwegians and
a German sailor were killed in
a skirmish outside the office of
the newspaper Aftenoosten.
Authorities said ' a drunken
nazi sailor tossed a hand gre
nade at h'omefront soldiers, kill
ing a civilian and an Oslo po
liceman. The German sailor was killed
in the resulting exchange of
shots. There were unconfirmed
reports of minor shootings else-
wnere m the country, but on
the whole the situation seemed
relatively peaceful.
