Sheriff Jsckson arrived in Albany last
night by way OF Portland, after an alb
sence of tw I've davs, being on the road
ten days. He brought with him Prof
G 1 Russell, wanted on the charge of
embezzling about $4,000 in school funds
and forgery. About two hundred people
were at the train to meet them Russell
was taken Immediately to the Jail where
he was placed in cell adjoining Lewis
and DIR Sponogle.
A DEMoCRAT man had pleasant talk
with Sheriff jackson over the trip. a
hard one, in which cold weather formed
an important element. At Bushnell, Ill -,
he found the Prof in charge OF the mar
shal. The sheriff, who might have
earned the $3.50 reward was 100 le,haryic
to act and so the marshal captured the
money. When arrested Russell was the
guest OF DIR Emmett, an uncle of Mrs
Russell. He only had 81 so on his per-
son, where the rest of his purse was is
not known. The typewriter heretofore
spoken of he had sold there for S25,
which money Sheriff jackson secured
and brought with him. Russell was, OF
course surprised, because he supposed
the people here believed he bad gone 70
Honolulu. The trip home was safely
made. Sheriff Jackson run no risks re-
gardless of Mr. Russells tractible condi-
ton, at times breaking down. He re-
fused to make any statement on arriving.
He was considerably confused at the
reception given him.
At 80 O'Clock this afternoon Prof
Russell appeared before Justice Curl
and court room OF people. r Wyatt
represented the state and III IL Hewitt
the defense. The justice read two COM
plants Zone charging the defendant with
forging the name of W Yost, 10 an
order for $45 on January 25, 1894, the
other with larceny OF s24+ iIom Linn
county on May 8, 1898. The deiendan.
waived examination and was held in The
sum Of $1,000 on the first charge and
$1,000 on the second to await the action
of the grand jury. His fsther-in-law,
Mr. Smith was telegraphed from Kansas
CITY to be present and go on his bonds /;
but Mr. smith will not respond. and the
defendant will in all probability be un-
able to secure bonds, thus being Obliged
to remain in jail. Mr. Russell looked
very natural and quite calm. II there
was sany sign OF psleness no one could
detect il. OF course he declares his in
nocence and will plead not guilty, but
there is nearly 5000 TO account for and
several signatures to explain.
