sequent Developments tend TO show
that Richardson himself put the boul.
der on the track and then tagged the
train In the hope Of getting reward
In this he was disappointed, for he
only received 80 from the passengers.
He still denies tnat he put the boulder
on the track, but tells plausible story
about It rolling down steep bill and
alighting on the track.
Richardson admitted having put the
boulder on the Union Pacific track,
but answered evasively when asked
whether he had torn up the Southern
Pacific rails. Facts were elected from
him which, with the evidence gathered
by Sheriff Nolapd and the detectives
operating In Douglas county, warran'
ted bis arrest.
Richardson was be arraigned in JUS
tice McDevitps court this morning and
will be taken to Eugene In the after
noon by Sheriff Nolsnd.
