TWO MEN SUSPECTED OF THE SOUTHERN HOLD UP, BOTH HAVE HAD
RECORDS

Roseburg, OR., July 5, -- George K. Quine of Riddle (Oregon), who has been
in pursuit of the robbers who looted the Oregon express in Cow Creek canyon
Monday night,
Last night arrested, about 10 miles above Canyonville (Oregon) and brought
to
Riddle and placed under charge of Deputy Sheriff Shambrook to men named Pool
and
John Case, alias McDorrell, under suspicion of robbing the train.
Case, alias McDowell, was convicted here two years ago for burglary, and
Returned from the penitentiary a short time since.
Pool has served three times in the penitentiary. He was convicted in Idaho
for
Horse-stealing, and was aftereards brought here and tried for the murder of
McNiel,
Of Elk Creek (Oregon), this county. He was convicted of manslaughter and
served
Time in the penitentiary until the supreme court reversed the decision. The
next grand
Jury failed to find a true bill on account of the death of important
witnesses. He was
Again convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses, and served his
time. The
Third time he was sent up for cattle-stealing. A warrant is now in the hands
of the
Sheriff for Pools arrest for cattle-stealing. Three of the same family are
under
Indictment for the latter offense, one of whom is Albert Pool, who was
brought
>From Riddle and lodged in jail here last night. Pool and Case are first
cousins.
District Attorney G.M. Brown will proceed to Riddle today to hold the
Preliminary examination. Mr. Brown prosecuted and convicted both Case and
Pool
Formerly. Two United States detectives arrived in Riddle on last nights
northbound
Overland.

A TRIBUTE TO MR. H.M. BEALL page two

Mr. Eckels is quite well pleased with the work of the receivers whom he has
Appointed in Oregon, especially with Mr. H.M. Beall, receiver of the Linn
county
National bank, at Albany (Oregon), who has worked hard in the interest of
the
Depositors. The controller states that this bank will undoubtedly pay every
Depositor, at least 95 per cent on the dollar, which will be good news
indeed to many
An honest, hard working farmer in that section, who at the time of the
failure would
Have been quite willing to have sold his claim at one-half of its face
value, and
Probably was only prevented from so doing because there were no buyers
PORTLAND SUN..
Mr. Bealls friends in The Dalles, and they include the whole population,
will
Be pleased to see his worth so publically recognized. Mr. Beall for many
years was
Cashier of the First National Bank in this city and is still considered a
resident of
The Dalles. His ability was well known before he accepted his present
position and
His high reputation will be increased by his record as receiver of the Linn
county bank.

BRIEF MENTION page three
The judges for the bicycle parade were T.A. Hudson, E. Schanno and Ed
Martin.
Harry Esping was given the first prize of $10 for the best decorated wheel.
A lady came rushing into the postoffice this morning, exclaiming as she did
so,
I was afreaid the office would be shut. The postmaster explained that
under the present
administration circus days did not come in the same category as Fourth of
Julys.
A number of bicyclists paraded the streets last night with their wheels as
decorated for the fourth. They made a beautiful sight. All the wheels were
decorated
with lighted Chinese candles and made a pretty effect. Especially noticeable
were the
wheels of Harry Esping, Joe Bonn, Charlie Fritz, Will Nichols, J.E. Hartnett
and
Miss Florence Hilton.
James Blakeney is in good humor today, having come out victorious in the
Contest for marshal. He has made a good officer during the past year and we
are sure
Will serve the city well for another term. There was some hard work done for
the
Different candidates and Mayor Menefee will breathe easier now, not having
to be
Bothered by applications and friends who wanted to say a word in favor of
different
Candidates.
The case of Lee Morehouse, charge with larceny, was tried before Justice
Davis yesterday. G.W. Phelps appeared for the state and N.H. Gates for the
Defendant. After hearing the testimony the justice bound the prisoner over
to await
The grand justy. Bonds were placed at $250. Constable Urquhart made a clever
Capture in this case, having tracked the man he was hunting to Cascades
(Oregon) and
Caught him when he was about to take the boat to Portland.
The baseball nine from Wamic (Oregon) were in The Dalles on the Fourth
Expecting to play with the Hood River (Oregon) club. The acceptance of the
latter clubs
Challenge had been published in two issues of THE CHRONICLE and the captain
of
The Wamic club telephoned to Hood River concerning the game. The Wamic boys
Understood, and said they were led to believe, that the Hood Rivers would
come, and
Are greatly disappointed at not seeing them. Under the circumstances the
boys claim
The championship of Wasco county, and are ready any day to defend the claim.
The
Following players make up the nine: Clyde Bonney, c; Frank Roberts, p; W.
Hunt, 1b;
J. Davidson, 2b; W.H. McAtee, 3b; J. Kennedy, ss; D. Miller, rf; B. Roberts,
cf;
D. McGraves, lf; John McAtee, sub.
One of the victims of the Silver Lake horror passed through The Dalles
today.
She is a young girl 14 or 15 years old and her face is fearfully burned, the
nose being
Almost gone and the lips and cheek dreadfully scarred. The father
accompanied her
And they tell a most pitiful story. The mother and several of the family
perished on that
Dreadful night, one of the boys losing his life in trying to save his
mother. It is hard to
Realize till brought in contact with evidence of it what a terrible thing
that catastrophe
was.
