:. Ontario. May 1.-The sensational
bomb plot to blow UP the Oregon Short
Line bridge here by German spies two
weeks ago has proven to be hoax
pure and simple, aften an exhaustive
investigation conducted jointly by the
Oregon Short Line detective service
and the sherifrs office at Vale, to-
gether with the police department of
Ontario.
These authorities are satisfied that
one or more of the Oregon Short Line
special guards employed to guard the
4, two big steel bridges between Ontario
and Payette staged the whole thing
supposedly for the purpose of making
1t appear that he, or they, did heroic
act in saving the steel structure from
destruction by a bomb. C. p. Roach,
one of the special guards thus In
volved, was summarily dicharged a
few days ago by the Oregon Short
Line. 1t is understood another of these
guards may receive similar treatment
1t the hands of the railroad company.
1t will be remembered that the al
legged discovery of bomb with
burning fuse attached occurred about /
o'clock in the morning of Saturday
two weeks ago, and that man was
seen to ride horse at breakneck speed
through Ontario.
RIDER RELATIVE OF ROACH.
The investigation by the detectives,
sheriffs office and police authorities
brought out the fact that the man who
rode the horse wildly through Ontario
that night is a young fellow II years
old, and Is relative of Roach the dis
charged guard. This young fellow, af-
ter his identity was established, ati-
mitted he rode the horse from the
bridge through the streets Of Ontario.
The two steel bridges between here
and Payette continue to be guarded
day and night as are all other bridges |
on this system.
A total OF IL men. II Of whom are
soldiers. are now guarding the two
bridges here. One of the bridges is
three-fourths of a mile north of the
Oregon Short Line station here, the
other is half a mile farther north.
