victors In the doubles of the first an

feating R. H. Home and C. O. Rlne

liminaries and peml-flnala. They
bent Home and Rlnrhart In straight
sets 6-4. 6-4 and 8-3.
Tho victory of Johns nnd Reine
man was all the more notable by rea
son of the fact that they entered the
finals hardly without rest after three
gruelling matches of three seta each.
Their opponents, by reason of de-
faults, had qualified for the finals
after playing only one match and.
were thus comparatively fresh.
Johns nnd Reineman, despite their j

Coleman Gray. G. V. Raymond and
Ralph Peale are today again Inmates
of the Umatilla county Jail after nine
days of liberty In tho mountains dur
ing whicb time they led Sheriff Tay
lor and Deputy J. H. Kates a merry
chase. But the persistence of th of
ficers and the thoroughness with
which they had spread their nets
proved In the end too much for the
fugitives and they frankly- acknow
ledged themselves outpointed in the
chase. "Greyhounds uint got noth
ing on you guys'" was the way Gray
expressed it.
Sheriff Taylor and Fayette Mettle,
the man robbed of his gun and pro
visions Saturday, made the capture
of the three men, Deputy Sheriff Ba
tes having returned to Lehman
Springs yesterday to secure the blood
hound sent out by Deputy Sheriff
Blakely. Good fortune smiled upon
the pursuers for they came up to the
fugitives at the exact moment to
make capture the most easy.
The point where the officers came
upon the jailbreakers was on one
prong of Big creek, about eight milea
south of Lookout Mountain. The
sheriff and Mettie were following the
main government trail and as they
came up over a point, they saw their
quarry not thirty yards ahead of
them. The escaped had not been on
the same trail but had intersected it
at this point and had stopped at Big
creek to take a drink before climb
ing straight over the ridges and drop- '
ping down onto the John Day.
Sheriff Taylor caught sight of Peale
and Raymond first and Peale saw him
almost at the same instant. The .22
rifle which they had stolen from the
Dodson camp was standing against a
tree nearby but Peale made no ef
fort to get it. The guns of Taylor
and Mettie were upon them and,
while Mettie remained covering the
two, the sheriff walked a few feet
and saw Gray. The rifle stolen from
Mettie was at his feet and the mo
ment he saw the sheriff, he grabbed
the gun. Before he could get It to
his shoulder, the sheriffs rifle was
pofhting straight at him. Taylor
called him by name and ordered him
to put down the gun. Reluctantly he
did so after the second command
was given and the sheriff required
him to walk a few feet away while
he took charge of the gun.
With Mettie leading the way and
the sheriff bringing up the rear and
both riding, the back trail was taken
up. It was eight miles to lookout
and twelve from there to Lehman
where the sheriff's car was. Between
Lookout and Lehman, they met Dep
uty Estes. None of the three men
made an effort to escaie on the w-ay
though Gray said . afterwards he
would have taken a chance had he
not known the bloodhound would,
soon have been put on his trail. Cole
man was the one of the trio whom
the officers feared. Besides being a
holdup man, he U an ex-soldier and
likes companionship with a gun. Had
the shertff not come upon the three
at a time when they had laid down
their arms, there might have been
shooting before the rapture was ef.
fected.
After their 20 mile walk, the three
were put In the auto at l-hm;m in I
