10Y RIDERS"
MAY FIND GRIEF
F, X. HoGUE's CAR STOLEN
FROM HIS GARAGE-TWo MEN
AND TWO WOMEN ARE UNDER
ARREST.

For the theft or an automobile
from the garage of F. H. Hogue, in
this city, Tuesday night, Marion
Baird is under arrest and A. A.
Jones is a fugitive from justice,
charged with burglary in the first
degree.
Sheriff Froman has just wired
City Marshall Stanton, at $40 D. m,
today, that Jones and the two wo-
men, with the stolen car, have
been captured at Jordan Valley, Ore
gon.
Tuesday night about 1890 O'Clock,
Mr.. Balm, of the Balm Auto Company
was called to assist in starting
car which stood in the street in
front of the Hogue residence on
First Avenue South, where he found
A. A. Jones, a former employee of
Mr.. F. H. Hogue, in possession of
the car. Mr. Balm was informed at
the time that Jones had been given
permission by Mr.. Hogue, who is
now in the mountains with his fami-
ly, to use the car, but upon reflec-
ton the following morning, he called
up the office of Denny & Co., and
informed Mr.. A. I. Matthews, Mr..
Hogue's office man, what had taken
place the night before.
Mr.. Matthews Immediately got
busy with City Marshal Stanton and
an investigation went to show that
the door Of the Hogue garaga had
been forcibly opened by removing |
the hasp that held the lock and Mr.. |
Hogue's Ford car was missing. Steps |
were at once taken TO locate Jones
and the fact was soon deyeloped that
his close companion Marion Baird,
local manager of the Mutual Cream
cry Company at this place, was also
from his place of business,
the same being closed, and he was
suspected of having been connected
with the affair. Efforts were at once
set in operation to apprehend the
parties and recover the car, the
wires being freely used for that
purpose, but no clue could be OBJ
-ained as to the direction taken.
At an early hour this Thursday |
morning Baird was placed under ar
rest in this city, having returned
night. He was charged
with burglary in the first degree and
lpon his failure to furnish bonds in
he sum of $1,000, the amount fixed
by Justice of the Peace Wells, was
locked up in the city jail, to await
MS preliminary hearing.
Being interviewed by representa-
i've of this paper Baird made the
