Q. by Gamble: Do you understand there Is an ordinance or rule against a policeman going Into a saloon when lie has no police business? Dilley: 1 don't know as there .ever was anything of that kind. I have no objection to a man eolng In and taking a drink, but let him take a drink and come out. Q, There was some testimony that It was contrary to the rule, or orders of the chief, given by Tom McNary, 1 think? Dilley: There Is no order to that effect. Tom McNary just said that. ALDERMAN SMITH was examined by Mr. Gamble and made an extended statement In sub stance as follews: A certain gentle man reported to him about time legis lature was trying to organize thit Gamble was not going straight. Spoke to him about it, told him there were stories out about him and he had bet ter be careful or ho would get Into trouble? went to Dilley and ho said Gamble was neglecting his duty; man he first talked with said It was all hearsay.

Gamble: 1 have locked up a good many If the records show me a fair re port, and run others off. Dilley: "Sou have got 8 arrests out of 04, and the balance of them have been men that came and asked you for a bed or something like that. Gamble: 1 always tried to use my judgment and keep jjood order, and I never heard any comprint, l.will tell you that right now.

For several days Salem has been honored, (or dishonored) by the pres ence of Under Sheriff Burch, of Ham ilton, O., who is waiting for tho dis charge and custody of a murderer from the Oregon penitentiary. It seems this high ofllclal of tho Buck eye state has been celebrating for sev eral days' boozing up with liquor and following about demimonde women, and finally coufmlttcd petit larceny, for which ho was arrested, and put In jail. Friday evening It seems he followed a couple of these women into Sonne mann's grocery and while they appar ently evaded his attentions, ho in sisted upon paying their bills. Tho clerk, Mr. Ilurd, scvcrt'l times called down this officer of the peace for using profano and vulgar language. Later it was discovered that a briar wood pipe had been stolen from a case, and while suspicion rested upon this party, It was not known for certain until late Saturday evening. As soon ub Mr. Sonnemann was sure of his man ho swore out a warrant before Judge Edcs for tho party's arrest and he was taken from his room at the hotel to the city jail to answer for his mis demeanor. Here he languished until this morning, when it was decided to discharge him. He plead drunken ness as a mitigating circumstance, and said he had intended to return tho pipe, but failed to do so. Burch has been painting the town red for several days, guying the farm ers and abusing tho place. Ho re peatedly said that Salem was the "worst Jay of a town hecver saw," and was abusive of everything and every body. The fellow bus probably mado up his mind since that Salem Is not such a slow place after all, and Is said to havo calmed in fact ho is crest-fallen and hangs his Jaw like a road scraper. Tho plain truth is, the actions of Sheriff Burch are a disgrace to the gieat state of Ohio, and a slam upon that state's system of enforcing Justice, unles3 they work upon tho theory back 'there that "It takes a thief ts catch a thief." The press re ports of Mr. Butch's cur.duct should arouse in him whatever manhood ho possesses and he should profit by his experience here and bo a wiser man In future. city. r 7 JQLtll OCL I5tll c - in 'uA..,'s Best yellow ti.l.t:. or brown baking pcvJor ticket entitles you to 1 wo guehscs at the missing word.

Many Salem People Enjoy a Day in the Prune Fields: Sunday was an Ideal day to be in the country, and every livery rig and private conveyance in Salem was called into requisition for a drive. Thechicr place of attraction seemed to be among tho fruit orchard and hop yards. Nearly all dryprs were run full capacity, and the fact is now rea lized that there aienot half enough fruit dryers to take care of the crop. Tons of the choicest fruit In tho world are rotting within a few miles of Sa lem. Among the others to take in the sights at tho Sunnyslde fruit farm were the happy Barnes famlllesjor the New lork llackct store. Tlicy en gaged a tally-ho, and put in an Inter esting afternoon among tho orchards and dryers. The party contested of Capt. and Mis, J. Q. Harnes, Mrs. Mary Emmctt, MUs K1I..1 Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. E.

Mayor Richardson run against a snag when he went to Capt. Hunt's ofllcc to mako him take water. Ho had to tako water himself beforo ho got through. Watch Mr. Bingham collect that money duo the city from tho mayor's busted bank. IIo Is too much of a politician to hurt the feelings of any of tho bank crowd. The city will wait for Its money. Mr. Gccr will not probably be "at fi anted" by tho Oregon delegation again. IIo would mako a good con sul to a South Sea Island, as ho could almost wade to his post of duty. .

Noxt man I mot was Dilley. IIo asked mo If I'd seen tho mayor," Alderman Smith's testimony. It seems Dilley was only carrying out tho wishes of the administration. Mayor Richardson's Irish policeman is making a better record In his ofllcc than tho mayor docs In his ofllclal position. IIo at least docs something, IIo arrests everything in sight. Wo should not bo surprised to hear of his arresting the mayor, Tho trouble with Gamble was, ho didn't arrest enough people. Gamble seems to represent an clement In politics the mayor can't rely 011. Such a man Is not fitted for a policeman. Having no charges upon which to dismiss him, the mayor must rake the streets to find some.

County Judge Barton sends follow ing to The Journal for publication. It is a copy of a letter he has sent to Jndgo Terrell, and secnw to have grown out of a bungling report in the morning paper:, JUDOE UAHTON'S LETTEll. ALU any, Sept. 18. Judge Terrell, Salem, Or. My Dear Sin.-rlf you feel tho ne cessity of reporting our business con versations to the newspapers, will you graciously do mo tiio kindness to re port them truthfully. No one knows better than yourself, that I never ts you or any one elso over suggested that the citizens of Stayton do any repairing on the Stayton bridge, as tho recent arclcle in tho Salem States man represents. I did suggest to you, that In view if tho .'anxiety on the part of the people of Stayton that the river at the next high stage might cut through the low ground near tho mill, leaving the bridge entirely on Linn side of tho river, that it they would volenteer ono day's work with three or four days teams and scrapers and cut n small channel through the looso bar thrown up by lastlngh water and let tho stream under the main span of tho bridge as ltformaly went, tho chances of Its cutting through and damaging property by tho mill would bo lessened, and tho danger to tho Marion approach would bo re duced to the mlnlnum. lam at ull times willing to stand by any or all propositions or suggestions I make In a business way If they are truthfully represented. Very truly yours, Gno. D. Barton. TEUU.ELL SAYS IT WAS AN ERROR. Judgo Terrell was scon -concerning Judge Barton's statement, and says ho thinks the Statesman must have misquoted him, as ho understood Judge Barton correctly as por his let ter of September 18. Judge Terrell Is not responsible for what was published unless It corresponds with tho above. m A common overyday clodhopper farmer In Polk county wroto this pa per an open letter asking tho stato treasurer to make a statement of tho condition of tho public treasury. Of course, when Treasurer Motschau denies to newspaper reporters such In formation, and sagaciously blinks his eyes and says It Is not considered pru dent to glvo out such Information, u mere hayseed, with muddy boots, is really Impertinent In asking so high an ofllclal a direct question. This granger does net scorn to regard the stato treasurer us anything but a pub lic ofllclal, just llko a county ofllcc r, and responsible to all tho taxpayers. Mr. Mctschan Is no ordinary iun. IIo Is no common clay. IIo is tho di vine sausage maker from Canyon City and when ho strokes his silkon whis kers with ono hand add fumbles his gold watch fob, as big as a shingle, with the other, Just ordinary farmers want to keep out of the way.
