Portland Telegram: Judge w. i.
Bradshaw Of The Dalles WAS escorted to
the bench in the criminal court Monday
by bis honor Judge Loyal h. Stearns,
who sat for an hour or more with the
visitor. Judge Bradshaw Is young
man who had distinguished himself at
the bar before his elevation to the bench.
One OF his chief virtues is his ability to
made quick decisions, and In this respect
especially he is extremely popular with
the practicing attorneys.
Erwin M. Shut. editor Of the Antelope
Herald, and brother Of the GLOBE force,
has been appointed Commissioner Of the
United States Circuit Court. This will
be very convenient for parties in that
section who have heretofore been obliged
TO go to The Dalles TO make final proof.
Erwin is doubtless the Youngest man in
the West holding this responsible posi-
tion, having just reached his 2lst year
mark. He has also worked up good
paying law practice at Antelope.
Portland Dispatch: When the hobo
detectives in Thiel's employ wired their
flattering notices TO their organ in this
city telling OF the capture Of what they
claimed were the greatest outlaws Of
modern time, there was great indigna-
tion expressed by those who actually did
the work, and Sullivan and his gang
we're condemned for claiming all the
GLORY" Now that the sheriff Of GILL;
am county has come out with scathing
article, ridiculing the whole lot Of them,
II Is hard TO find anyone who will admit
that he was in Gillian county at all.
II will be remembered that in August
Willie Metteer had horse stolen, and
that the horse was identified while going
through Lost Valley, and taken away
from the thief, who made his escape.
Later IL was learned that his name was
Melvin Green, and that he has relatives
near Fossil. AT the September term Of
court the grand jury indicted Green on
charge Of horse stealing. Learning
that he was stopping at Pendleton with
some relatives, Sheriff Wilcox went up
there last week and "nailed" the young
man. Bonds were furnished by S. L.
Morse and Lee Butler at Pendleton in
the SUN OF 1900. Sheriff Wilcox's writ
demanded that the bonds be approved
in Gillian county, consequently he
brought him along, arriving here Friday
evening. His father, Hess Green, lives
on Birch creek, Umatilla county, where
Melvin was raised from childhood, being
now about 23 years Of age. lie denies
being in this county at the time the
horse was taken--and that is exactly
what he will have to prove at the April
term OF court, or he'll go the "pen."
0regonian: Manager Sullivan, OF
ThiePs detective agency, who has been
OF Roslyn several days, returned Mon
day, but remained in the city only few
hours, leaving on the first train for Ia
coma. He informed General Manager
Thiel that considerable evidence had
been obtained against the robbers dur
ing the week. Deputy Sheriff Jno. Hail
ley Of Pendleton, who took Geo. Zachary
TO Ellensburg and remained there dur
ing the examination, called on Mr..
Thiel Monday, and said the case against
Zachary was very strong. Prof. Jenkins
and DIR. Lyons identified him as the man
who aourished huge revolver and did
the shooting. A woman positively iden-
titled him as the robber who aimed his
revolver at her and ordered her to 90
home. Willis Zachary and Peter Hum
phrey, the last men arrested in connec-
ton with the case, could not be identi-
fed. They resembled two OF the robbers,
but none Of the witnesses were sure that
they were the right men. George
Zachary, Cal Hale and Tom Kimsey, the
three men now in custody, will be pros
ecuted by Hon. Henry j. Snively, of
North Yakima, who ran for governor OF
Washington on the democratic ticket.
In letter to Mr.. Thiel he says there is
no doubt as to their guilt and none can
escape conviction.
