Grants Pass authorities have again
this week captured lawbreakers who

this record continues Grants Pass will
have reputation for capturing crimi-
nails that will make this class of
humanity shun this part of the
country.
Sheriff P. A. Hackley, of Humboldt
county, Iowa. arrived in Grants Pass
Wednesday with requisition papers for
F. e. Farr, who was arrested last
week through description published
in reward circular. Sheriff Haokley
has been acquainted with Farr for
several years, and owing to the fact
that he is badly wanted in Iowa is
much gratified at his capture. Fsrr,

sen, while woring on q farm in Iowa
had leg broken through an accident,
and as he was homeless, a bright boy
and appeared to have the max ing of a
man in him, was taken in by man
and wife who gave him home for
nearly four years, when Farr forged
his benefactor's name to check and
secured money at bank and then left
the country. An indictment was Sc
cured and the officers have been on
the lookout for him nearly two years
since. He has been heard of at several
places and has kept up the practice of

The conductor of the Thursday

sheriff to come and arrest a passenger
on the train who had threatened to
kill his wife. The two had been
rowing continuously and the woman
claimed that he had attempted or at
least threatened her life. Sheriff
Russell was at the train but the
woman was unwilling TO stop of here
and swear to complaint, so the
authorities were unable 10 move in
the matter, as they would be unable
to hold the man on any charge. The
train continued its journey. and the
couple continued their rowing. Q
