BONEBRAKE WILL
Be TAKEN NORTH.
SHERIFF OF TULARE COUNTY
COMES FOR HIM
THINKS PRISONER MAY HAVE
BEEN TOOL OF OTHERS
Accused Takes His Arrest cooIly, De-
claring He viii Have No Diff
Guilty in Establishing His
Innocence

Percy L. Bonebrake who was arrest
ed Wednesday on a charge of selling
cattle stolen from Visalia, will be
taken back today by Sheriff w. w.
Collins, who arrived in Los Angeles
Yesterday having been notified or
Bonebrake's arrest.
Bonebrake takes his arrest coolly
and states that he will prove his inno-
cence easily when arraigned in court.
He is anxious to have his trial as soon
as possible.
Sheriff Collins is inclined to belleVe
that. though Bonebrake knows about
the cattle stealing, he has been used as
tool by others and that ms wrong
doing has been unintentional
Bonebrake admits that he knew the
cattle were stolen, but stoutly asserts
that he did not know that they did not
belong to D. G.. Sanders, who is now
under arrest in Visalia on charge
similar to that lodged against Bone
brake.
In the sheriff's opinion the arrests are
the first steps in breaking up a well
organized gang of cattle thieves. IL is
reported that $50 head Of cattle have
been "rustled" in Tulare county within
the past few months.
In speaking of his arrest yesterday
Bonebrake said:
at admit that the case against is
looks strong, because the cattle were
not shipped in the usual way at Han
ford, but 1 simply was helping San
ders and went to Hanford and found
the cattle in the stock yards. loaded
and billed them as had been told, and
the fact that ] shipped them in my
own name should prove that was not
trying to evade the law. I expect that
I will be released as soon as tell my
story in court"

for Capture of Witness by

Through channels leading to the
hiding place of Nick Oswald, former
ruler in the tenderloin, assurances
were sent yesterday by District At

Their advances were made by Oswald
yesterday, and the absence of informa :
ton concerning the elusive redlight
boss was disturbing to the minds OF
the district attorney and others in his
office who have watched sadly the
grand Jury convene and adjourn, re-
convene and adjourn again, repeating
the process several times, all because
Oswald will have his own way.
| The $1,000 offered several days ago

of Oswald has not been withdrawn,

day that one mistake was made when
the reward of $500, offered a week after
Oswalds disappearance, was with
drawn.
1--WE believed we had him almost in
our grasp at that time," said Mr..
Fredericks. He eluded us, however,
and the mistake we made then will not
be repeated"
While the district attorneys attitude
is receptive to further negotiations and
he still hopes Oswald will appear be-
fore Monday, this fact has not caused
the search for the missing man to end.
Parties are out in several directions.
it is said. and every clew received by
the officers is run down.
William Lawrence Fetter. Oswald s
associate, is expected to appear before
Judge James today to explain his fail
