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

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

shack on the highway, resulted in oir pillows, and powder Jars, oue of Elizabeth Brians, Camille Haltom,
