Leroy White, who was arres-
ted at Yaquina for posing as a
deaf and dumb mute, was ex-
posed in a most peculiar man.
ner. 1t seems that while pass
ing through Eddyville, White
met e real deaf and dumb per-
son, and when the latter tried tc
make conversation with White
he found him to be q fraud and
a fakir. It so insenced the deaf
and dumb man that he started
to lick White but wasn't able to
owing to the fact that he coult
not catch him. He reported the
facts to Ed Mauch, the Eddyvill,
merchant, who phoned them ir
to Sheriff Geer.
