a big five heat race by taking the

first two. The Woodland track,
according to good authority, never
saw prettier contest. There were
numerous starters, but the race was
between the Oregon entries from
start to finish. Both Pathmot aud
Chehalis distinguished themselves
in a marked degree. Chehalis, it
is said took the last three heats
with the greatest ease. Horsemen
who saw the race say that be can
go several seconds faster. He is
not entered in any more races for
the present season, but it is very
probable that his owner and driver,
Frank Frazier, of Pendleton, will
start him in the great free-for-all
race at Sacramento next week.
Veterans of the turf in this city
predict that Chehalis will get a
very low mark if he starts in that
race, and believe that he can beat
any PAGER on the coast.

Just as soon as a factory or indust-

while the law speculator (and their

Clever Piece of Detective Work by
Deputy Marshal Bentley.
By a piece of clever detective
work, Deputy United States Mar
shal John M. Bentley yesterday
captured w. FL. Lane, who, the ev-
idence at hand shows, has been en-
gagged in the manufacture of coun-
terfeit coins. and has been very
diligent in giving the same the
largest possible circulation. Lane,
it is charge, has been doing -four
ishing business, and, in his section,
has almost driven Uncle Sans
coins out of the market.
Several months ago Mr., Bentley
learned that counterfeiters were at
work in this county, and upon in
vestigation he concluded that Lane
was the criminal. He procured a
warrant for the arrest of that gen.
tleman, but did not obtain sutfc-
lent evidence against him until
Wednesday, when he set out for
Pilot Rock with William McBside
expecting to find Lane at CottrelPs
ranch, where some races were being
given. But Lane did not matera
lie, and the officer had to drive to
his home in the mountains, seven
miles from Alba. At 4 o'clock yes
terday morning, Mr.. Bentley arose
and at s o'clock he had his prisonel
and was on his way back to Pend
Teton.
Lane was arranged before Unit
ed States Commissioner Bean yes
terday afternoon, and entered pie,
Of not guilty. His bail was fixeC
at $500. He will have an examin
alton in a day or two.
| Mr.. Bentley says that man.
spurious coins of Lanes manufac
ture have been circulated in Pend
Teton. The prisoner has apparent
| ly been in the business for som
time, and seems to have WORKED
alone. He is a married man ant
has one hild.-Tribune.
