The spirit of the "wild and wooly west"
as tha effete cast considers it, manifested
itself in Coivallis Saturday . night. The
principle actors were the police force of the
city, the sheriff of Benton county, several
members of the Smith-Lieb company, a
justice of the pcaca, two council men and
several citizens." Whiskey was also mixed
up in the niAtter to a considerable extent
and revolvers figured quite freely.
To begin at the beginning the Smith-Lieb
company was giving a most excellent enter
tainment at the opera house that evening.
Same of the boys in the gallery were dis
turbing the house and Mr. Babson, man
ager of thetroup, requested Chiaf of the
Police Taylor and Nightwatchman Mc
Lagfin to stop it, but they failed to doit.
Shortly afterward Mr. Babson requested
the officers themselves to keep quiet as they
were seriously annoying tho audience by
loud talking. According to one of the
ushers MoLagan asked Babson if hi knew
who they were. Babson replied that hs
did, but it made no difference, it was a duty
they owed tho iyers tu well as tho andience
to keep quiet and that they must dosoor
leave the house. Mc Lagan then left but
soon returned. Mr. Babson and James
Horning word standing in tho hallway and
bolh state that after a few words with Horn
ing, MoLa-run suddenly and without warn
ing or provocation, struck Babson a" severe
blow in the face. This indignity he resent
el by felling the nightwatchin-.in to the
ground with a cane. Horning caught him
as he fell and sent in for Chief Taylor think
ing that ho might pursuade MeLagan, who
was in an ugly humor, to go to bed and
sober up. Whatever Taylor advised him
then MeLagan determined upon taking per
sonal revenge. Ho went down to the hotel
and announced to several that ho intended
shooting Babson on sight and exhibited a
formidable revolver., Several friends tried
to pacify him but thair efforts were useless.
He was evidently strongly under the in
fluence of liquor and would listen to neither
pursuasion, reason nor threats.
At the closing of the performance word
was sent to Mr. Babson that his life was in
danger should ho venture on the streets.
MeLagan and Taylor got together again
and were soon joined by two members of the
company, Messrs. Tjadoi and Scott. - Tay
lor, if anything, was more intoxicated than
MeLagan and encouraged hi:n in his de
termination to to take tho life of Babson.
Tuo four started up the street to waul Marys
river, bridge and tho conversation that
ohsned was related by Mr. Tjaderas follows.
Mr. Scott (good -naluredly). ".Now,
"Mac," pull yourself together, be reasona
ble and brace up."
MeLagan. "Well, tho d cuss diJn't
treat mo right and I want to gcieven."
.Tjader (with 0110 eye on "Mae's" pistol
pocket and the other on Taylor's revolver).
"Now, chief, we are good friends, aren't
we, old man? Let's go back and drink to
'sunny skies."'
-Taylor (with tottering dignity). "Dam
'sunny skies.' Say, "Mac," (hie) I'm the
biggest taxpayer in ish town, (hie) aint I."
McLagiiii. "Yes."
Taylor. "The of a insulted
me, didn't he, an' I'm the chief of police?
They tried to down mo lait spring, didn't
they? I'll show 'em who I am. 'suited
me, didn't he?"
" McLcgan. "Yes, and I resulted the in
sult to my chief."
Taylor. (hie) That's right "Mac." Than
he hit vou with a club. I'd kill the of
wanted to keep them off the streets. Assell
also during the evening looked into tho muz
zel of Taylor's big gun.
Taylor and MeLagan claim that Babson
insulted them, aud that he struck MeLagan
without provocation. They offer no excuses
for their conduct afterwards, But say that,
laboring under their excitement, they be
came intoxicated before they knew it, and
have no recollections of their actions.
The company was composed of ladies and
gentlemen, and made a favorable impression
on our citizens peisonally as well as artisti
cally. Mr. Babson proved an affable, genial
gentleman, and was not at fault in any par
ticular in (his disgraceful matter, Theciti
zens of Corvallis, without exception, deplore
the tvent that will necossarialiy stain the
fair nunieof our city. Members of the com
pany went to Albany Sunday morning by
private conveyance, carrying away, proba
bly, no anxious desires for an early return to
this city. No warrant was served on Mr.
Babson. Justice Holgate said that neither
MeLagan nor Taylor was in a tit mental
condition to make proper complaint. He
allowed them to swear to an information
simply to quiet them.
Several business 1110a have baon inter
viewel by aGAZSTTi man in regard to .ha
matter, and they are unanimous in saying 11
is a most u;. fortunate occurrence. The l'aet
t lat tho city was without any police protec
tion, whatever, all Saturday night, w.is seri
ously commented upon, liaeii man seemed
to feel a porsonal s-liamo, that a respectablj
stranger shoull nave to uppciii to the sheriff
lor protection of his life aamst the entire
police force of the city. Tlie expression is
unanimous that both Taylor and MeLagan
should he speedily removed. T lie oifense is
9 ie tiutt cannot be eondoaeJ, or overlooked.
The amendment to the net incorporating
the city of C'orvallis, enacted at the last leg
islature, provides in section 8, "Tuat any of
fieor of the city of Corvaliismay be removed
for misfeasance or inattention or incapacity
in oHioe, upon a two-thiid vote of the coun
cil, provided farther that any of the said
oJieers shall before being removed have
charges preferred against tueni iu writing by
a legal votor, tha oifieura to havo a copy
thereof eortiaed to by tho poliea judga at
least ten days betore the action by tho coun
cil particularizing iu what, the uiHfeasence,
inattention or incapacity consists."
The nightwatehman, however, may bj
removed at any lime, by simply the election
and qualiiieatiou of a successor. The seetion
above quotci would therof r apply only in
the case of Taylor.

In the mcauUV.10 Mr. Eabson and several
of Lis company, unwilling to engage in a
pistol encounter with the whole police force
Corvallis, remainuu uanicaaeu in me
opera bouse. Klienh Osuu' ii was noticed
,haf the police force wns running nov in
town and that his ssrvites were required as
body guard for Mr. Babson from the hall
to tho hotel. Ho took him down safely ana
theii iu Company with Justice Uolgate and
several citizens went to look after the police
department. Couneilincn Flett and Leo
had meanwhile been sent lor and. Old tneir
best to quell the disturbance. MeLagan
and Taylor were found at "Our House," and
MeLagan finally promised to drop the mat
ter if the justice would let him swear out a
warrant for Babson's arrest. Justice Hol
gate, to pacify him, consented. It was
about 2 o'clock Sund ty morning when tho
ustice took Taylor and MeLagan to the
court house, but not having his keys he was
unable to get in. Holgate then went to his
other office, over the First National bank, to
get oat the papers, the police force agreeing
to await his return. After -writing out the
complaint Holgate again appeared at the
court house but the police bad evidently for
gotten their agreement, and instead of
meeting at the court house they came
djwn town. They then went through
the Corvallis and Occidental hotels against
the protest of the proprietors looking for Mr.
Babson, but failed to discover his.room, Mr.
Hanson havius been assigned a dinerent
room from the one given him on the register,
Justice Holgate came down town to look
for them and stepped into "Our nouse."
Justashe.was enquiring for them Taylor
came in and, according to several witnesses,
said to the squire, "You are trying to sneak
out of vour responsibility. I'll pull your
nose. I'll break your back. He grabbed
Holgate by the throat, bnt just then George
Avery seized Taylor, who pulled out his re
volver. James Horning . who, hearing the
rumpus, cani3 in about thin time and at
tempted to quiet Tavlor, but Taylor pulled
the eun up into Homing's face and cocked
it, remarking that ho was the chiel of police I
and what ho said wont. After some more
wovus ho put up his revolver.. jucLiagan
then came in and setnied to bo getting over
his exeitement. He signed theTfcomplaint
and the squire went to bed.
Taylor and MeLagan then imagining that
their revenge was complete proceeded to
have a gay time, under the encouragement
of some members of the company, who were
desirous of rendorining them absolutely
harmless.' Thevgot plenty of liquor into
them and their .pistols away from them
About 5 o'clock they all wont to bed and all

Probably ths largest and most repre
senlativa r.udieuccs, that have greeted
any theatrical combination this season,
witnessed the presentation by the Smith
Lieb company of the splendid produc
tions, "Arabian Nights" and "Infatua
tion, '"Thursday and Saturday evenings
of last week.
The story of the comedy "Arabian
Nrghts" is net only ludicrous and mirth
provoking but has real dramatic strength.
The complications and absurd situations
of the play keep one grinning and laugh
ing in most undignified fashion from rise
of the curtain to its final fall. - Mr. Carl
Smith, as Arthur Hummingtop, is such
aiartislic and fasciimfiBg trifier with
truth that one cannot avoid sharing hi3
uneasiness as to the outcome of his
troubles. It is quili impossible to keep
track of all his extraordinary falsehoods.
His fall begaa in a harmless little flirta'
tion with Rosa Colombriar, "The Gutta
Percha Girl," aud from that moment he ,
is wound tighter and tighter in the net of
fabrication, until his position becomes so
pitiful, that even hi3 mother-in-law is
moved to assist hint to extricate himself.
Miss Lieb is aa ideal actress, and can
do as she lists with her audience. Her
rendering of Rosa Colombriar, in "Ara
bian Nights," and Ollie Somerville, in
"Infatuation," were gems of splendid
impersonation.
Joshua has a clev3r impersonator in
the person of Mr. Fred Tjader, who plays
an exaggerated part with the proper
touch of burlesque, . aud without the
horseplay aud " obtrusheness so often
associated with these characters. : '
The work of Messrs Nelson and Sco;t
is excellent, and Miss Hattie Foley de
serves a word of recognition for her clever
impersonations. The entire company, is
made up of players of unusual marit
and the excellent rendering of their pro
ductions leaves no loophole for complaiLt

T. B. Hennessv, manager of the Em-
balmers' Supply Company of New York,
woe in Oorvallis this week. - He had
heard, while iu Portland, of S. N. Wil
kins, and at once made up his mind tUat
Newt wa3 the sort of a person with whom
he ought to do business, and his visit to
Corvallis was by no means a disappoint
ment Mr. Hennessy says that embalm
ing is regarded as a science in many
states, and that laws have been enactea
to regulate the business. These laws, he
said, were similar to the one in this state
recnlating the ' practice of medicine.
Persons desiring to follow the business
of embalming are required to first pass
a satisfactory examination before a com
petent board of examiners and are then
granted a license. Mr. Hennessy be
lieves that such a law ought to be enacted
in this state as a safeguard against the
spread of contageous diseases.
