Ban fob His Life. About 11 o'clock
Tuesday night officer Shaw observed a
young man coming op Main street in an
almost nude condition, and making time
as fast as hiB legs could carry him. At
first tbe officer thought it was some one
with an attack of the "jim jams," who
Was trying to escape from the imaginary
"blue devils." When the young man
came up to where officer Shaw was
standing he was so frightened that he
could hardly speak for a moment. He
was barefooted and had no clothing on
except a thin undershirt and drawers,
and explained that some unknown
parties were trying to rob and murder
him. The officer secured some old
clothes and accompanied the frightened I
Individual to his home in Kansas City
addition, buttnere were no indications
of burglary. The young man lives alone
with his father, but tbe latter was away 1
from home on this occasion, and stated
that some one awoke him by knocking
on the door, and asking for something
to eat. Boon he heard another voice at
the door and some one shouted, "your
time is up." Thoroughly frightened he
leaped out of bed through the window
12 feet above the ground, and one of the
burglars started after him, in close pur
suit, striking his back with his fingers,
and muttering "d-n you, 1 will kill you."
He said he was followed to the Barclay
school building, where he out distanced
tbe chaeer. The frightened individual,
refused to star alone in the house under
any consideration that night, and re
quested tbal a bed be furnished him in
he city jail, where he was kept awake
all night by Perry Vorhies, an insane
patient just brought in from Wilhoit.
After investigation officer Shaw came to
tbe conclusion that the young man was
the victim of a practical joke, as the
people are new coiners.

The Cascade Locks Excursion. The
excursion to the Cascade locks on the
steamer Harvest Queen last Saturday,
under the auspices of the Ladies Aid
Society ot the Congregational church,
Was in unpuralled success. It was the
first excursion from Oregon City that
has ever passed through or even reached
the widely known government locks.
Two hundred and ninety-one passengers
boarded the steamer at Oregon City, a
. few more added at Oswego, and enough
were taken on at Portland to make up
the limit of 600, all the boat is allowed
to carry. The trip was a delightful one,
and nothing occurred to near the
serenity or good nature of the excursion
ists. The party was made up of the
best people of Oregon Ci'y and Portia nd,
and the boisterous element, usually
prominent on such occasions, were not
in evideuce. The musical program
under the direction of Prof. Heritage,
was all that could be desired, while the
Taylor Hreet M. E. orchestra won
laurles for their good playing. The
business managers of the excursion were
Prof. J. W. Gray, Prof. V. L. McAdam,
C. H. Dye and Herbert Bestow, and the
ladies of the Congregational church are
to be congratulated on the successful
out-come of the excursion.

which are perfectly new, and pianos taken in exchange.
Prices from $85 upward. There are a number of these

inducements will move so many pianos at this time of the
year. All the following pianos have been thoroughly
overhauled in our own repair shop, and are guaranteed as
represented in every particular. Prices are net cash, but
easy terms may be arranged on an 8-per-cent basis. Per
sons buying pianos at this sale may exchange them later
on for new instruments, should they desire to do so:
