young man Or about eighte Il
years of age put up at the Russ
House, and was given a room in
which was a trunk belonging tc
Sam Dugger, who is now at In
dependence, says the Albany
Democrat. It is said that he pro-
ceeded to break open the trunk
roll up the contents and throw
them out of the window. He
then went down and got them,
took them over to the Albany
Lunch Counter, where he had
left his bicycle, and tied them to
the machine, going back to the
hotel and going to bed. Ee was
seen by some of the employees of
the hotel to throw the things
down. They notified special
policeman, Otto Cie!an, who,
with Mr.. Rowell, arrested the
young man and he was placed i'll
the calaboose to await exanina-
ton before Recorder Van VIM
kle. Hepburn was arrested here
once before on the charge of
stealing some copper from sec
ond hand man.
Since the above statement ap-
peared in the Democrat the
young man had a hearing before
Recorder Van Winkle, acting
justice, and waving examina-
alton was bound over i'll the
sum of 5000 for his appearance
before the grand jury. His
father, of Salem, furnished the
bonds. The young man was a
student at the o A c up TO the
time that he went to Albany and
got into trouble.
