Monday Night.
Monday night, shortly after 11
o'clock, Basil Gregory, who had just
retired to the home of his father, J.

startled to hear someone rattling on

once ceased, but In a tew moments It
again began. It appeared to htm as
it some person was endeavoring to
pick the lock or something of that
nature.
Mr. Gregory then secured his gun
and awaited developments. The per-
; son then tried one of the windows,
but falling there, again tried the
door. After waiting about three
quarters of an hour and no entrance
; having been effected by the would-
be robber, opened the window and
spoke, whereupon the party slunked
off around the side of the building,
keeping out of sight as best he could.

ments by taking a couple of shots In
his direction. Tracks were 'discov
ered In the morning showing that
there were two Instead of Ine of the

"General Interest In the Presiden
tial election has been manifested bv
the voters in every section I have vi
sited Jurlng the last two weeks."
said Mr. UuMcv at the Imperial yes
terday. "WM'o It is true none o!
the political meetings In O.-egop
this year are being marked by any
great degree of enthusiasm, yet the
voters are coming out in large num
bers to bear the political Issues dis
cussed. There Is every Indication
that the voters are thinking and the
majority already have made up their
minds how they shall vote next week.
'Reports that Republicans of the
state are apethetlc are entirely un
founded. I have yet to find a com
munity where the members of the
majority party are Indifferent. At
the beginning of the campaign the
Interest probably was not as appar
ent as it now but the voters very
generally have become aroused to
the Importance the pending election
bears to this state and its Interests.
For that reason, they will be found
voting right. I am convinced that
Oregon will give Taft not less than
25,000 plurality."

and South York, Ont., returned mem
bers by acclamation. In all the
others with the exception of five,
