AT DAIRY IS
BURGLARIZED
Man Now at Large Who Broke into General Store in Eastern Klamath—Threatens to Shoot Would-Be Captor.
On information that the building occupied by the Sedge store and postoffice at Dairy had been burglarized one night this week, the officers visited that town and took measurements of the tracks of the person who evidently had entered the building. Following in the direction indicated by the horse tracks, during the day the officers apprehended Frank Rodrigues, better known as Filipino Frank, in the Klamath reservation, fishing in the neighborhood of his father-in-law, Jack Drew's place.
The officers had no warrant, and at the time had little more than the track theory on which to hold the Filipino, so told him he had better go with them to Yainax, where they could investigate the matter. He agreed to this, and followed on his horse. While on the journey he evidently reconsidered the matter, for he left the road and his companions, and made off in the woods.
He had been considered more of an irresponsible than a desperate character, and Mont Hamaker was asked to pick him up at Jack Drew's when Hamaker went by with the auto also, as it was thought Frank would return there. Mr. Hamaker attempted to carry out these instructions, and found the culprit at Drews, but Mr. Hamaker reports that after Rodrigues took a couple of shots at him he was forced to leave without him.
When last seen Rodrigues was armed, and going on foot up the Sican canyon.
John Simmonds, who runs the store and postoffice at Beatty, identifies Rodrigues as the person who entered the Beatty store and postoffice some time ago, and took $448.
