BRAVA TO THE GRAND JURY
There was no Matrimonial Avenue
out of the City Jail.

Juan Bravo, charged with construc-
tive rape upon the person of fifteen
year old Ysabel Duran, was given
preliminary hearing yesterday by JUS
tice Burnett and was held to the grand
jury in the sum of $500. Bravo hardly
expected this outcome of the case. He
had thought that he could get out of
the trouble by marrying the girl In
the morning he was inclined to engage
in foolish bluffing. He ascertained
that the marriage would cost him 81
and he said that he was not sure that
he wanted to make the investment. He
felt safe for the father and mother OF
the girl had at one time consented to
the marriage.
When Bravo came into court he was
inclined to superciIiousness. He did
not know that Mr.. and Mrs. Duran
had changed their minds about having
him for a son-in-law. There had been
some preliminary effort to incline
them favorably toward him again be-
fore he arrived but without avail.
on his appearance the trial was be-
gun. The girl told about Bravo hav-
ing enticed her away from home by
promising to marry her. She told of
her relations with him at the house
near the old fair ground. The resi-
of the testimony for the territory con-
sisted of proof that the girl had not
yet reached the age of consent.
Bravo was asked if he had anything
to say. He readily admitted all that
had been charged against him and be-
gan to talk marriage to old man Du-
ran. who sat near him. Duran ap-
peared to have q sudden stroke of
deafness, for he made 10 reply. For
the first time Bravo seemed to be
troubled. He appealed to the court,
saying that he desired to marry the
girl. The court replied that he was
not running a matrimonial bureau.
When the order holding him to the
grand jury was made, Bravo with
moistening eyes said that he desired
to make a statement. The court in
the meantime had left the bench. He
told Bravo that the statement would
be useless and untimely but he did
not seem to understand. He took the
witness stand and made another ap-
peal to the parents of the girl. BY
! this time he was terribly in earnest
but the parents were adamantine.
Bravo was still appealing when Con-
stable Props led him away to Jail.

Bowman and his friend were having

turned to all eyes and ears. The whole
situation was new TO him and he was
prepared to believe anything that
might be told him.
Bowman and his friend cultivated
the acquaintance of the interested one
and told him that they were servants
of the interior department in the ca
pacity of desert rangers" This was
an office the Yale man had never
heard of. He knew all about forest
rangers; he had just been talking TO
one of these uniformed officials who
had explained TO him that his duties
consisted in patrolling the forest res
ervations, looking out for fires and
keeping stock off the reserve. But the
man from Yale could not understand
what there might be on the desert that
required constant federal attention
Bowman told him that the duties OF
the desert ranger were multifarioUs-

referred to as follows by the East
Multnomah Record:
a reunion of the Wilson family was
held on last Sunday. Aug. 81, in Smiths
grove. Gresham. The Wilson family is
an old and respected family, J. p. Will
son being n pioneer of 1888.
THE gathering was held in honor Of
J. P. Wilson and his sOn-in-law, +. NJ.
MOgnett, who was a delegate to the re-
cent Irrigation Congress in Portland.
Mr.. Mognett and wife are from Phoe-
nix Ariz., and are visiting John +. Rob
erts and wife in this vicinity. Mr. and
Mrs. Mognett, the latter the daughter
of J. P. Wilson, have many acquaint-
ances among the old settlers in this To-
cality Their former home was near
Sandy. It was he who gave Bullrun
river it's name. He also named other
creeks and places which are now of in
terest to the old and new settler, angler
and hunter. He moved his family to
Arizona in 1876 when much of the ter
ritory was wild and uncivilized. Dur
ing the years Of his residence there he
has been helping to make some of her
history and has grown into her pros
peuity.

at being necessary for Mr. Mognett
to return at an early date gave occa-
sion for this reunion. Numerous rela-
tives came together from many hooks
and corners and the fifty-three present
represented some twenty different fam
lilies Had all members of these re
lated families been present the num-
Der would have totaIed one hundred

81. p. Wilson is eighty three years
of age. He is a great, great g-andfath-
er and mis- progeny numbers 127 souls.
The day was pleasantly spent in the
grove until . p. m, when adjournment
was taken to the Grange hall. There
were songs, Rotations and instrument
al music also much hand shaking and
friendly conversation. Not the least on
the program was the fine dinner with
the oft repeated numbers, Pass the
chicken down this way" Pass the
cake up here" and Pass the pie to me
please" A roast ham of a small bear
was one Of the deicacies served. The
occasion will long be remembered by
all present.

ENGLAND TO BE SUED
Lee Hobbs Wants Da IMAGES for His
Late Arrest and Detention.

The British government is to be sued
for damages by Lee Hobbs, deputy
sheriff of Graham county, whom the
government tried last spring to extra
dite on the charge of having, while
sailor on the British schooner, Leices-
ter Castle. within ten leagues Of Pit
cairn island, headed a mutiny and MUIR
dered the mate of the vessel John Ben
nett Nixon.
The extradition proceedings before
Judge Kent occupied a week. Mr..
Walter Courtenay Bennett, the British
consul general at San Francisco APP
peaTed for his government and the case
of the government was presented by
T. E. K. Cormac of San Francisco, as
sisted by Judge Baker and L. H Chal-
mers os this city.
1t was decided by the court at the
end of the hearing that there was a
case of mistaken identity and that Lee
Hobbs was not w. A. Hobbs who had
really committed the murder A tran
script of the proceedings filling nearly
300 typewriter pages was forwarded
TO the state department and thence to
the British government which had I'M
dertaken the payment of the costs. That
was supposed to be the end of the
most sensational case that had ever
come before the courts of this territory.
About two weeks ago Attorney A.
Orflla of Tucson arrived in the city
and arranged for a compilation of the
evidence which was offered at the hear
ing and all other proceedings which
took place there. 1t was learned a
little later that the obeject of this pro-
ceeding was to begin a complaint
against the British government for
damages and that several of the lead
ing attorneys in the southern part Of
the territory were interested in the
movement. The work of compiling was
finished yesterday and the bulky do
cument vas sent to Tucson. The
amount of the claim has not been dis
closed nor the next move in the case.
1t is understood that the claimant
will rely = incipally upon a statement
made by Mr.. Bennett in the course of
his examination. He stated that the
proceedings had been begun at the in
stance of his government. That his in
structiOns came from Foreign Secretary
Lord Lansdowne through Sir Mortimer
Durant, the British ambassador at
Washington. The home authorities had
been put in possession by Scotland
Yard detectives of evidence which had
originally been gathered by couple of
Arizona Rangers. The consul general
said that he had no personal interest in
the affair at all. 1t is the theory of the
claimant that this statement of Mr..
