As <bim entered the door swung to j a wooden latch fell in place, lock- , Aschim in. Failing to get in, •as and Holden edged around to a ndow and looked in. The sheriff ■used Leslie Weygant, and told him jt he had a warrant for his arrest, .ygant denied that he was the man. ,chim then started to investigate me stuff concealed under a tar- ulin, when Lucas shouted: “Look t for the man with the gun.” As in, wheeled, and discovered another m in the act drawing a gun from i hip pocket. But when he realized it he was covered from the outside, e Weygant, a brother, and the bad in of the family, shoved his gun ck of him and dropped it on a table, chim who then also had Lee Wey- nt covered, reached around the ex- nvict and secured his gun. Lee Bn started for the door, and Aschim ilizing that he would open the sed door, let him go, but Weygant 1 into Lucas, who ordered him to t back in the room, and he himself iekly followed. The other Weygant is not armed, and in one of the itos was found the father of the eygant boys, with a shotgun by his ie, pretending to be asleep. Ed ark was in the waiting Sheriff’s to guarding a moonshiner and an- ler prisoner seized in the raid at ■ribaldi. Johnson stood outside near • rear of the cabin. Lee Weygant, the man who started make the gun play, confessed that i alone had robbed the Yamhill pre, but later owned up that he was sisted by his brother Leslie, and a nsiderable quantity of the loot was und under the tarpaulin, some of TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT the boxes bearing the name of the Yamhill merchant. Leslie told As- chim that his brother had said “that he would not be taken alive,” and it is believed that had not Lucas called out at the time, he would have shot Aschim, who had not at this time seen Lee Weygant, who was standing up against the front wall of the build ing near the door. As the elder Wey gant started to diuw his gun, Lucas drew a bed on him through the win dow, and then shouted to the Sheriff to “Look out.” Lucas probably would have got in the first shot, but Aschim had not figuered that the door would lock itself in closing, and Lucas was instructed to follow Aschim, which he could not do before the door swung shut. Lee Weygant had recently served a term at McNeil’s Island, and is a hardened criminal. He was convicted of robbing the Sheridan postofflce some years ago, and has been in pris on several times, The younger broth er, it is believed, was induced to com mit the Yamhill crime through his brother, as he has never been in jail before. The father said he knew that the goods found over here were not paid for. While the drama was being encated in the shack, Gallagher of Garibaldi, charged with possession of liquor, who was being guarded by Stark in the auto, attempted to walk off, when Stark reached for his gun and told him to “quit it,” which he did. Sheriff Ferguson of Yamhill coun ty and deputy Patterson came over Sunday morning and took the three Weygants out to McMinnville to ans wer to a charge of robbery, and of re ceiving stolen goods. About three hundred dollars worth of goods were found by Aschim and his deputies, consisting of groceries, and other articles of various kinds. The Tillamook sheriff had had his eye on the three men who traveled in two autos, for several days, without know ing that they were the men wanted, and the fact that his suspicions were aroused by the men occupying the old 5 shack on the highway, resulted in oir pillows, and powder Jars, oue of Elizabeth Brians, Camille Haltom, LaVant Holden, Donald Tone, Paul Gienger.
