It not worso treatment, If he Is caught and the crime fastened on him. Sirs. Mann and her granddaughter did not lock tho doocs of the house when they went to church Sunday eve ning and had no thought of harm from anyone when they returned. As was their custom, however, thoy lock ed tho doors securely before retir ing, never thinking that even then a villain on mischief bent was conceal ed under the bed. Both women soon fell asleep and It was near midnight when Miss Koble was awakened by her bed being shaken to find a man on bis knees beside the bed leaning over her. She tried to scream, but at first tho sound died In her throat. Don't holler, kid," said the man. I won't hurt you; are you alone?" But by that time the young lady had found her voice, and her grandmoth er sprang from her bed in tho next room. Uororo Bno could get a light, however, the intruder had torn the locked door open and made good his escape. Miss Nooie J pretty positive she recognized the man, not only by .bjs voice, but by what she could make out of his clothing and general ap pearance In the dim light. There has been no arrest as yet, but it Is under stood the authorities are on a still hunt for the offender and will proba bly land him before many days. NOTICE.

Orown. mnnagcr of the Ashland Trading company, supplied the firm doing tho delivery of goods with tho change and tho goods went on. The hour was just past tho bank Ing hour and tho check for $20 the delivcryman brought in was not tak en to tho bank until tho next after noon. It was then discovered to be a forgery on the First National bank. Investigation thowed that tho swin dler had taken a room at the Morgan rcsldenco that day and aftor pulling off the grocery trick Informed the landlady that his trunk had not yet arrived and ho was going to the de pot to see what tho reason was. He probably took tho 4 o'clock train for California. Tho Ashland Trading company recovered tho groceries, but i not their change. Another firm In town, it is reported, was stung by the same man with tho same trick. but concealed their misfortune. The landlady of a Fourth street lodging house found a $20 check on a Grants, Pass bank in her houso, which Indt-' cates that ho had prepared to oper-' ato there.
