Reagan. suspected of being the third
party implicated In the Stephen
bank robbery in April 1907. Reagan
is supposed to be the man that Mr..
Merdink peppered with his gun when
replying to the fire of the robbers.
The authorizes have kept sharp look
out for this man ever since the rob.
berry was committed, but not until
lately have they been able to locate
him. From descriptions in their pos
session, they believe they have the
right man.
The officers had to 60 to a great
deal of trouble to bring their man to
Minnesota to stand trial. Before
leaving for the west the officers had
to obtain reuuisition papers signed by
the governor of Minnesota, to be
served on the governor of Oregon.
These documents are made out in
triplicate, and there is a great deal
of red tape connected with their is
sue and proper serving. But they
finally succeeded in getting their
man. He is a notorious crook, and
his picture adorns the rogue's gallery
in the police stations of many large
cities Of the country. His trial on
this charge will. not take place at
the present term of court.
Our readers will remember that
