OVER 5000 STOLEN

Home of L. H. Keener Four Miles West of Town Robbed of Near S700 Tuesday Afternoon Nearly
 All Returned Same Night.

Tuesday between the hours oi II o'clock in the morning and } o'clock in the afternoon the home of l.. H. Keener, farmer living about tour miles west of Mena, was entered while the family was away and between $500 and $70o which was hidden in the house was stolen.
 When MT. Kenner and his son. Wiley, returned home at 3 o'clock they saw signs of some one hav- ing entered the house and found the money gone. The neighbors were notified and one of them went to Rust where Oscar Keener works and notified him. In this manner word of the robbery was pretty we'll scattered over the settlement and with 1t the state ment that the dates and numbers of nearly all the money, most of 1t being in gold and $20 gold certificates, was held by MT. kenner.
 This fact evidently reached the ears of the thief for Tuesday ' night when Oscar Keener return ed home about midnight from a tour of investigation, he saw the form of a man standing by the side fence. Upon calling to him the man started to leave and be. gan running as young kecner started toward him.
 Before the man passed the cor uer ot the fence Keener is said to have haerd something hit the fence but paid no attention tc this and after losing sight of the fleeing form went back to tho house.
 Yesterday morning the keeners went out to look for the tracks ( the night visitor and were aston. ished to find the sack containing all the S20 gold pieces and th' purse containing all the gold cer tifcates. There was said to b, over $500 of this mouey, bu, about S100 which was in smal l bills and silver, was stlll missing
 If there IS any clue as to whc stole the money it is not being given out.

TRUE BILLS AGAINST THEODORE H. PRICE, WELL-KNOWN
 NEW YORKER.
ASSERTS ENTIRE INNOCENCE OF CRIME
Member of the New York Cotton Ex- change, and President of the Eagle Fire Insurance Company Charged With Conspiracy and Brbery-oth- CTS Are Indicted by Grand Jury.

New York, May 31.-Theodore H. ton king" because of his tremendous trades in the staple, and more recent ly president of the Eagle Fire Insur- ance company, has been indicted by the federal grand jury after long in- vestigation of startling leak of cot ton crop statistics contained in gov ernment report which had not been made public. The grand jury found two indictments against Price, one charging conspiracy to commit an of fense against the United States and the other bribery of a government of ficial. Three other persons were in- dicted with Price and warrants have been issued for their arrest as they are out of the Jurisdiction of the federal court of this district With the hand ing down of the indictments MT. Price, who had apparently anticipated the action taken against him, appeared at the federal building and surrendered himself. He was arraigned before Judge Hough and pleaded not guilty Bail was fixed at s5,000 which was fur nished and Mir. Price was released af- ter the court had set June 19 as the date for the preliminary hearing. Mir. Price, in a statement made pub lie after his arraignment, asserted that he was entirely innocent of the charges.
 While Mir. Prices career has lacked the sensational features which marked Mir. Sully's brief tenure of the cotton throne" he has been generally consid- cred the most prominent operator in the New York cotton market since the days of John Inman. He first attract of the firm of Price. MacCormick & Co.,, which failed in December 25, 1900. The firm failed for about SIS ,000, 900, but Mir. Price at once set about re- habilitating his fortunes and succeed ed so well that during the past three or four years he has paid off his indi- vidual portion of the firms remaining indebtedness, amounting to over ST. 100000, notwithstanding the fact that the claims had been through bank ruptcy. and. moreover, had been out lawed It is said that no one in the cotton business has ever spent so much time and money in securing in formation from the south concerning the progress of the crops during the growing season and the attitude of in- terior holders. During his career he has conducted many successful cam paigns in cotton and at times he has been credited with very large win nings

A POLITICAL M|X-UP
THE OREGON REPUBLICAN LEcis- LATURE MAY ELECT A DEMO
 CRATIC SENATOR.
EIGHTY REPUBLICANS 10 TEH DEMOCRATS
Peoples Choice for Position Appears to Have Fallen on George E. Cham berlain, Popular Democrat, Twice Elected Governor in a Republican State-UnusuaI Primary Feature.

Portland, Ore, June 3.-Because of a queer turn of Mondays election it may devolve upon an overwhelmingly Republican legislature to elect a Democrat to the United States senate. Returns so far received indicate that George E. Chamberlain, Democrat. is the popular choice for senator, his lead over Judge Henry NJ. Cake, Re publican, being about 1000 votes.
 Of the 90 members of the legisla- ture, probably about 80 will be Repub- licans. It is known that fl of these are positively pledged to vote for the peoples choice for United States sena- tor, be that choice Republican or a Democrat There are about six more who are in the doubtful column.
 With the exception of the senator ship the Republicans have won prac- tically every office from supreme court judge to constable.
 Prohibition was a hard-fought issue in 2S counties, and while the tally clerk cannot give any figures of a def mite character. the indications are that large majority of the counties voted dry"
 Single tax has been beaten.
 Woman suffrage probably has been defeated. No estimate can be made at this time on other initiative and referendum issues.
 Chamberlain is very popular in Ore gon, although the state is Republican, he has twice been elected governor.
