themselves on her features.

She eyed him In mild protest.

Donnelly showed his clenched fist
under her chin. His face contorted
into an expression of tigerish ferocity:
he peered at her with an Intensity

By the time the Panama canal Is

SEVEN BOYS ACCUSED
OF LOOTlNG STORE

Three business houses in Grants
Pass were entered sometime between
Friday night and Sunday morning
and money and goods stolen.
The stores looted were George S.
Calhoun & Co., Grants Pass Hard
ware Co. and w. 7. Goodman's store
on lower Sixth street.
In the juvenile court this morning
seven boys, whose ages range from
s years to IL years, were acquitted
by jury of five citizens.
The case and its results caused
much comment and as a consequence
of the acquittals George S. Calhoun
wrote the following to the Courier.
To the Editor of the Courier;
Sir: have just learned that the
boys arrested by the officers and
charged with robbing the Grants
Pass Hardware Company's store and
also w. I. Goodmans place of busi-
ness, were acquitted by jury this
morning in the Juvenile court.
| am also informed by Chief of
Police McLane that the boys con-
fessed to the crime, and told where
the money was buried, and upon in
vestigation six dollars were found,
and that the revolvers were recov-
cred and other plunder; that upon
being taken into the juvenile court
the judge ordered a jury trial upon
his own motion, and that the defend
ants or plaintiff did not ask for one.
One boy was given his freedom up
on turning states evidence, but in
stead of assisting the state he cutely
shouldered all the blame, and left |
the others to be accessories after the
fact, which resulted in the acquittal
Of all.
II the amount of evidence as was
porduced before the trial was not |
enough to convict, especially, the |
other boys, why should We insist
that such boys be arrested, and why
A jury trial, and why should the Of
ficers search diligently to run the
culprits in and then be thrown down
under the pretense of not enough
evidence?
Certainly in this instance the chief
of police and other officers who
worked up the cases were thoroughly
liligent.

1lundered and robbed by some one
