While swinging on the flying rings at the College gymnasium Monday afternoon, Norval Gates, the 12-year-old son of Mrs. D. M. Metzger, fell to the floor and broke his right arm at the elbow. The injury is serious, and it is feared that it will result in a permanent stiffening of the muscles of the arm. The little fellow is re ceiving the best of care and attention, and is resting as comfortably as could be expected under the circumstances. A new dress of type has been ordered for the first and fourth pages of the Observer. The new type has a smaller face than that now in use on those pages, and corresponds in size with ! the type used in printing this para graph. The new type will enable us to print a greater amount of news matter than at present, and will greatly improve the appearance of the paper. The Observer has been twice enlarged within the past four years, and improvements will be made in MAY GET SPECIAL TRAIN Effort Being Made to Bring National Livestock Delegates to Dallas Goat Show. If the plans being worked out by the managers of the Dallas goat show are successful, a special trainload of prominent stock breeders from all parts of the United States will visit the coming Angora exhibit in this city. Only a small guarantee is asked of the people of Dallas by the Southern Paciflo Company, and the comnjittee feel confident that the train can be se cured. The matter was taken up with General Passenger Agent W. E Coman last week, and that official with his accustomed enterprise and liberality, has agreed to furnisn special train from Portland to Dallas provided 150 tickets at $1.00 each are sold. No difficulty is anticipated in disposing of this number of tickets, and it ia reasonably safe to say that the excursion will be run and that Dallas will see one of the biggest and best days in her history. BURGLARS WANTED PRESENT Bold Thieves Would Help Themselves to Christmas Gift from Uncle Sam's Safe. m were LET THE LIGHTS ALONE Removal of Danger Signals at Street Crossings Constitutes a Serious Crime. While the water mains are being laid in-Dallas, it occasionally becomes necessary to close a street to travel for a few days, and when this is done lanterns are hung but at night to warn . persons driving teams to take some other street and thus avoid driv ing into the open ditch. This is a wise and necessary precaution, and it hardly seem a possible that any per son would disturb these lights, but it appears that several times recently these lanterns have been removed without the owner's consent. Con tractor Gates says he does not mind the loss of the lanterns, as they do not cost much being bought at wholesale in large numbers. The contractor only desires to inform the guilty persons that the removal of one of these lanterns at night is a serious matter in the eyes of the law, and that whoever has been taking them is guilty of a grave crime. The law wisely provides for the erection of these danger signals, and it also pro vides a punishment anything but pleasant for the person who disturbs them. Dr. E. L. House, of Portland, will deliver the first lecture of the Lady Professorship Course in Dallas, Janu ary 11. Your choice of any $3.00 Ladies Two burglars made a bold attempt to crack the safe of the Dallas Post office at 9 o'clock last Friday night, but were disturbed by the deputy Post master, who happened to return to the office after closing hours. One of the burglars wont t.hrnnwh window; the other walked rapidly past the official as he came in, and disappeared in the darkness. Burglar tools lay scattered about the floor, but the safe had not been touched. Noth ing is missing. The postoffice closes at 8 p, Many of the business houses still open at 9 o'clock, when Deputy Postmaster Fred Toner entered the building to attend to some unfinished business. Owing to a breakdown at the electric light station, the town was in darkness, and only a dim lightwas burning in the corridor. As Mr, roner entered tne Dunaing, a man walked rapidly away from the door and disappeared up the street. Not suspecting anything wrong, Mr. Toner paid no particular attention to the stranger and walked back to the door of the business office. When he open ed the door, he noticed that the rear window was open, and as he stepped inside he heard a scrambling, and figure was silhouetted for a moment by the light from outside as a man bolted through to safety. Striking a light, Mr. Toner found a brace, jimmy and other burglar tools on the floor in front of the safe, lying in convenient fashion for the forcing of the de pository of money and stamps, black mackintosh coat had also been left behind when the burglar took his flight. Mr. Toner at once notified City Marshal Grant of the attempted rob bery, and that officer, spent the re mainder of the night in what proved an unsuccessful search for the burg lars, who had left not the slightest clue that would lead to a disclosure of their identity. Three suspicious looking characters were hanging around town Christmas day and were closely watched by the Marshal, but nothing was discovered in their actions that could be taken in any way as connecting them with the attempted robbery. Postoffice robbers are seldom caught, and it is altogether probable that this case will prove no exception to the rule.
