JUMPED TO DEATH
TO AVOID ARREST

oner to the station. he made a savage
lunge at Mcdonald with knife. He
was quickly disarmed.
The officers then arrested Lee at
the junk shop. He did not deny his
guilt. AS he was climbing the hill
from Peaceful valley just below the
Monroe st. bridge the prisoner ran
from the officers and leaped into the
whirlpool current of the river. His
body has not yet been found.
At the station yesterday Carl Heff-
ner, who is only a lad of 10 years,
'peached' and gave away the entire
story, which implicated Ostrander. Il
brakeman. and Williams. and the ar
rest of the two soon followed.
Heffner was very angry at the
way the old man had of leaving him
to face the whole business alone"
as he expressed it,
Later developments show that John
Lee had criminal record in Canton,
O., under the name of Charles o.
Lennon, and perhaps was an ex-
convict, as his dread of being taken
into custody again undoubtedly caus-
ed him to make away with himself
for fear of being identified for some
previous offense.

With the arrest last night of
Charles. II. Ostrander and e. F. Will
liams by Detectives Alex Mcdonald
and Joel Hindman the quartet of
crooks which has bothered the de-
partment for some time past was
completed.
These two, along with Carl Heff-
ner and John Lee, are accused of
stealing 80 sacks of grain from a
Northern Pacific car at Marshall.
Carl Heffner was the first to be ar
rested and John Lee, the second,
threw himself into the river and was
carried to his death rather than be
captured.
On January II a car on a siding at
Marshall was broken into and 80
sacks of wheat stolen. Detective
Hindman of the Northern Pacific was
notified and soon traced the oper-
ators by means of crooked wagon
wheel and peculiarly shaped hoof
mark. He followed these tracks to
this city and soon traced the men
to the junk shop kept by Carl Heffner
and John Lee on Walter st.

Heffner in a rig on Sprague St, and.
