Of detective.
After his conviction in October
1904, in connection with Puter and
other members of the notorious
liz" land fraud ring. and while
awaiting sentence, Mckinley jumped
his bonds. Nothing definite was
learned Of his whereabouts until he
was located at Manila. He soon left
there and went to China where he
was apprehended almost exactly
three years after his conviction. He
escaped from the prison at Tien Tsin
before the officer from Portland ar
rived to bring him back. This was
about November 10th, last. A few
weeks later he was re-captured in
Manchuria. In consideration of the
valuable evidence given the govern
-ment, McKinley's punishment, had he
remained in Oregon, would undoubt-
edly have been no greater than that
inflicted on Puter, two years in jail
and $1,000 fine. In view of the trouble
the government has been to it will
create little surprise if he receives a
sentence many times as severe as
that.

ness and regard OF ordinary proprie-
ties as ordinarily governs the inter
