BOY BURGLARS CAUGHT.
Band OF. IL Youths Have Robbed
Many Portland Homes.

Portland.-Twelve boy burglars
who have been committing serious
depredations in the East Side resi-
dence district were corraled and
brought into juvenile court recently
by Patrolman c. R. Grisim. Al
though their ages range from Z to
IA, they have been operating inter-
mittently the last three months
without detection, and il was only
after series of half a dozen
breaks" within the last week that
they were overhauled.
AT the head of the juvenile band
were Wesley, Hugh and Clarence
Ferguson, aged IA, IL and Z. The
Oldest is a probationer from the
State Training School, having been
sent there two years ago for thiev-
cry. Wesley Ferguson, who appears
to have planned most of the burglar
les, has maintained complete har.
mony in the ranks by always divid-
ing fairly all the loot which was Sc
cured.
At the McNichols home the young
vandals threw eggs on the carpets
and against the pictures. At the
Thompson home they overturned the
shelves on which the winters supply
of canned fruit had been stored
breaking dozens of cans.
The older Ferguson will be re.
turned to the State Training School
The other boys were placed in the
custody of their parents and will
have hearing in juvenile court.

coyotes which are playing havoc with

For the past week, according to
Mr.. Mccormick, a coyote has been

into the brush along the lake and
ended the varmint's existence He
brought the scalp to the county
clerks office and collected $2.o0
bounty.
Mr.. Mccormick says that the coy

that good hunter could make good

the bounty. He offers to furnish the
gun and the ammunition if any one
wants the job.

HINT MRS. LOUNSBERRY BANDITS ACCOMPLICE
Luxury Of Rancers Home and Circumstances Surrounding Train
RObbereS Point With Suspicion TO Spouse Of Wounded Man.

That search of the Lounsberry
residence will be made in the near
future by the authorities in order to
get further evidence against the
Medford rancher who surreptitiously
combined fruit culture with train
robbery, has become known.
The sudden departure of Mrs
Lounsberry with her two children
Friday has also aroused the sus-
picion that she knew of her hus-
bands double life, and it is even
suggested that she was a partner in
the holdup of the Shasta Limited
near Yoncalla in June, 1911.
Postmaster Woodford has been
quietly investigating the case and
has found that two bandits held up
the Yoncalla train. One was much
smaller than the other. The short
er one had nothing to say. had a
slouch hat pulled down over the
eyes and ears and wore overalls.
The postmaster does not think it
at all doubtful that this supposedly
male bandit was none other than
Mrs. Lounsberry. The favorite fem
inine male disguise is a pair of over
alls, and complete silence was no

LOCALS MAY COMPETE
Contestants in Rifle Contest to Be
Selected From Best Shots
in Recent Meet.

In the first international rifle con-
test ever held in the northwest, to
be shot off in Portland October
and 3, the crack militia riflemen Of
Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Brit
ish Columbia will compete.
Orders are being published by Ad-
jutant General w. Il. Finer of this
state, who is in charge of the con-
! test, outlining all details as to arms,
range and conditions under which
the men must shoot. There will be
IL men in each team, besides two
alternates, officers and coaches.
Oregon's team will be taken from
the third regiment and coast artil-
lery teams at the recent state shoot.
In the state shoot the coast artillery
team won highest hOnors, and is eX-
pected to furnish the greatest num-
Der of men for the state team in the
international shoot, But the lowest
score made at the Clackamas range.
during the state shoot this year was
equal to the best made last year,
showing that all the militia is i'm
proving in rifle practice and it may
be found that the third regiment will
furnish more men than is now eX-
pected.
Members of the local company of
coast artillery are wondering if Ash
land will be represented on the Ore
goq team In the recent state shoot
the local boys won high honors, each
one of the team bringing home a
medal in the 90 per cent shoot
Lieutenant Tate was successful in
capturing two bronze medals in this
shoot and came within one point of
winning first place in the national
shoot. 1t is predicted here that
Lieutenant Tate and possibly others
will find place on the Oregon team
as the result of their fine showing at
Clackamas recently.
