SMOKED
HIMSELF
In JAIL

Cecil A. Bond, who was captured by
Officer James Lewis last night, about
10 O'Clock, while in the act of stealing
cigars from the show case in Hills eli
gar store, when questioned in regard to
his act, he said: at was not trying to
steal anything, I was simply taking a
cigar from the case, there being no
clerk in evidence, which 1 intended to
take into the back room of the store,
pay the proprietor of the store for it,
and sit by the fire and smoke, but no
sooner had | opened the case than 1
was seized by the officer and placed I'M
der arrest. 1 cannot tell how bad L
feel at being arrested, for 1 have a
wife and two children in Portland. one
of the children being only a week old.
We came to Portland from California,
but | was unable to secure work in
Portland, there being so many men out
of work there, and hearing favorable
reports of Salem, / came here with the
result that / am Immediately thrown in
to Jail" Bond is a young fellow, and
doesn't appear to be more than 10 years
of age, and is a very decent appearing
man, fairly well dressed, and acting as
though he was acquainted, if not init
mate, with the better class of society.
He claims to be a sash and door manu-
facturer. II has been learned that he
was acting suspiciously all evening.
Young Hill first called attention to him
as Bond had been hanging around the
front of the store all evening, and Hill,
when he went out to wait on a Gus
toner, noticed that the cigar slot ma
chine which was on the counter had
been turned around, as though some
one had been trying to open it. He
spoke to his brother about it, who
watched the young fellow for nearly
half an hour through a hole in the par
t%ition, but failed to detect him in any
thing more than some very suspicious
actions. Hill became convinced that
Bond was up to some game, but was UNI
able to ascertain just what it was, so he
sent one Of the boys in search of an Of
fcer. Officer Lewis was soon located,
and took a stand in a doorway, where
he watched Bond, until he had carefully
looked up and down the street and all
around, as though looking for some one,
he opened the case and started to grab
a cigar, %whereupon, the officer came
across the street, the spectators say, in
two bounds, and had his man under ar
rest before he knew what had hap
pened. On account of his appearance
and manner, the officers so far relented
as to imprison him in the woman's cell
of the Jail, rather than put him into the
big common cell with the hobos and
DRINKS.
Bond will be arraigned and allowed
to plead this afternoon to the charge
of attempted larceny from a building

the new society will be to get land from
the United States Government. That Is
the crux OF the scheme. The land un-
der the operation Of the Homestead act
can be secured at a nominal price By
settlers remaining on II for o brief term
OF years.
Having the land. the society win
make selection from the families Of
the slums and move such as give prona3
ise of success from the congested dis
tricts to new settlements. The society
win locate the families on the land ex-
peeting the railways to give them free
transportation, The society win take
care OF the settlers until they can sup
pert themselves, and as the lands be-
come productive yearly payments w
the settlers to the society Will be exr
pected until full payment is made. The
scheme is to be financed by the issu-
ance Of bonds against the lands secured
by settlement. Milllonaires are ex-
rected to take the bonds in $50 600 lots.
The project does not differ in purpose
from what other societies have attempt
