Gang is Doing Good Work,
and Detectives are Un-
able to Get Trace
Of Them

Chief of Police Gibson, a few days
ago, received a telegram from a man
in Hot Springs, Arkansas, giving his
name as Purcell, and inquiring as to
the whereabouts of one Glyn d. Fitz.
gerald. He could not locate the man,
and so informed Purcell at Hot
Springs.
Today he received a letter from
Chief of Detectives r. w. Connor, of
the Denver police force, inquiring for
the same man. The Denver officer
states that draft for $3.50 was forged
in that city against Ladd & Bush, of
Salem. alleged to have been issued to
Glyn d. Fitzgerald and which was re.
turned from Salem, accompanied by
the affidavit of a notary public to the
effect that the draft was forged. The
party passing the draft I'm Denver gave
his name as John Fitzgerald, and
claimed to be a brother of Glyn d. Fltz

about "a years of age, height feet,
6 inches; weight about 140 to $50
pounds; slender build with very red
hair and a short red moustache; was
nicely dressed, wore a cap, and had
the appearance of a gambler. He was

This solves the water problem for
Uaion county, and means more for It

At a slight depth water is found in
natures reservoirs, ready to be tapped
for the use of man.
The cost is merely nominal, and
every rancher may have plenty OF
water ON his premises from his own
fountain.
J. Q. Connally brought the good
sws to la Grande this morning. His
partner in the enterprise, Thomas Nc.
Connell, Of La Grande. will go out this
afternoon to view the flowing foun
tain.
Mr. Connally states that yesterday
about o'clock the boring machine
struck the fountain, and that the
water came forth with a gush that
soon flooded the premises. Ditohes
had to be dug hurriedly to conduct the
water into natural channels The
fountain head was reached at a depth
OF about 200 feet on Mr.. Conallys
place, FIVE miles this side of Union,

above the ground through a six-inch
