PUTER AS A JAILBIRD.
Feathers of the Gay Land Thief Are
WOcfully Dropped.

In cell No. | at the county Jail,
under the strict surveillance that is
always given federal prisoner, S. A.
dlers, is awaiting sentence for his
completely in the startling series of
fraudulent land operations that ena-
bled him ot live in regal style for a
number of years, says the Oregon
Daily Journal. In the custody of a
United States marshal he reached this
city from San Francisco this morn
ing.
Puter is no longer the bon vivant-
the dashing cavalier whose meteoric
career in Portland was for time the
envy of all FOUNDERS. There are deep
lines in his face, dark wrinkles be-
meath his eyes, and there is a rapidly
increasing quantity of gray in his
hair. Care has laid a heavy hand
upon him and its imprint is deep.
He expresses confidence In the vol
untary return of Horace Mckinley
his confederate in the land fraud op-
part OF the United States. Mckinley
is said to have gone to China, but his
captive friend insists that he will re-
turn to surrender himself to the au-
thorities.
~ have known Mckinley for many
years and / believe he Is just the
kind of a fellow to come back and
give himself up" said Puter. HE
will know that It won't do him an,
good to stay away and he knows wha,
Il Is to be a fugitive"
