A Prominent Young Man is
Under Arrest.
FOR RoBBING HIS EMPLOYER
Hls Family Much Esteemed in the Com
munity, and He Was FavOrite
in Society.

EUGENE, April ia sensational ar
rest was made here last night, and r. M.
Stevens, prominent young man in go
ciety, is now in Jail with a charge of
burglary against him. The clerks in the
store of A. V. Peters have for some time
been missing articles out of the store,
and suspected that some one was enter
ing the etore at night. They notified the
officers, and plan was at once adopted
to ascertain whether burglar was enter
ing the store. Money was marked and
left in the till, and seal put on which
would have to be broken if the till was
opened. This was Tuesday night, and
Wednesday morning the till had been
opened.
Last night the officers thought they
would watch for the burglar. They hid
in store across the street, where they
could command a full view of Peters,
store.
Shortly before IL O'Clock r. NJ. Stevens
was seen to walk down the main busi-
ness street, and in the full glare of an
arc light unlocked the front door of the
store with key he took from his pocket
and entered. The officers then placed
themselves so as to capture him when he
came out. He went in and helped him.
self to pair of ladies' shoes and several
Sather articles, and opened the till and
took portion of the small change left
there. He came out at the front door
with the plunder, and was then placed
under arrest. He waived examination
this morning, and was bound over to ap-
pear before the grand jury, under bonds
of $500.
Much sympathy is expressed for his
widowed mother and his sisters and
brother, who are highly esteemed by
their neighbors, and who have been
sorely afflicted the past year or two in
the loss of their husband and father and
son and brother by an accident.
