OUTLAW'S LIFE
.ATTRACTED HIM
Thrashed Because ..Would
Not Study Boy Takes
To Brush For Awhile.
Miss Alblna Thibert, Miss Leah Leui
mon.. Miss Bess M. Robinson, Mr. ad
Mrs. P. C. Kendall, Miss Blanche Ken
dall, Mr. F. W. Youmans.
Mr. and Mrs. Chapman took the ev
ening train for Portland and will be
gone on a short wedding trip.
' . Clay Green, who lives on the West
Side, came to the sheriff last Friday
afternoon with the information that
--his son, Gwynne, a young chap about
- fourteen years old, was becoming dan
gerous and that he desired to have
. him taken . into custody.- - Deputy
Schnebel made out a, complaint and
the sehrlff appointed Charles Ely as
deputy to go after the boy and bring
" him in. He, however, was unable to
find the young desperado.
It seems that the boy has boen feed
ing his mind on dime novels and
traahy literature, and has become fill
ed with the deeds of valor of the
characters in the novels. For a few
days he ran wild In the brush with a
rifle and a belt of cartridges. .
It is said that he took two shots at
Hugh Burdon, one of the West Side
! residents, and is said to have made
the remark that he had three shots
waiting to be fired, one for his father,
one for the sheriff if he came after
'i him and one for himself. - His father
$ was badly scared at his son's actions,
and thought that there was no doubt
that he would carry out his threat If
j he had the chance. He Is said to have
' been a wild boy all his fife, "and his
father has had little control over him.
He has devoured the cheap novels of
the Ave and ten cent series and has
dian games. Finally his imagination
has made him an outlaw in reality.
Monda)-iie became tamer, and had
a conference with his father at which
It was decided that he should go to
work In the state of Washington. He
had had" trouble with his father over
the question of going to school, and
It was a thrashing administered by
the father over his refusal to. study
that precipitated his outlaw Ideas. Mr.
Green sent him to Washington and
withdrew the complaint against him.
Washington's Birthday Reception
The Christian Endeavor society of
tne f irst Congregational church gave
r reception last Friday nieht at the
I home of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Latoun
ette en the bluff. - The affair was in
the nature of a colonial party, and the
young ladles who assisted jn receiving
were dressed in becoming costumes
of the colonial perlol. Miss Mlgnon
Chase, the president of the society,
had charge of the entertainment and
great credit is due her for the novel
and interesting features that she had
planned.
An Informal program was rendered,
consisting of a song by Miss Ivah
Roak, piano selections by Miss Martha
Frances Draper, and violin numbers
by Miss Ivah Gordon and Charles
Stow. The house was effectively de
corated, and the soft glow of candle
light shed Its radiance over the pretty
costumes.
Candles lighted the supper tables,
and the group at each table after
supper took its part In a charade il
lustrating a character in early Ameri
can. history. Some of these were very
cleverly acted. As the guests were
departing, Miss Chase announced that
this was the first of a series of parties
to be given by the. society.

Pretty Wedding Ceremony.
A very quiet but pretty wedding
took place last Monday night at the
home of Mr. O. L. Barbour, when his
daughter, Miss Nettle, became the
wife of Mr. Roy Kemp, of Portland.
The marriage ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. W. H. Robins at 5 o'clock,
and the young couple left on the 7
o'clock car for Portland, where they
will make their future home.
An act of charity done by some of
Oregon City's kind-hearted men has
Just been made public. A new house
was ready Monday for the occupancy
of Gorham, Bridges, who has been the
victim of . - one misfortune after
another.'
The house stands at the "corner :of
14th and Jefferson streets, and vas
constructed from materials furnished
by Charles Parker, who not only do
nned the lumber for the dwelling,
but helped put up the structure as
well. The land on which the house
stands was deeded by J. W. Loder, and
William Straight also helped in the
erection of the house.
Gorham Bridges and his sister, El
lea lived together in a little house
in the north end of town. Both were
old people, and both were in poor
health.. Gorham did odd Jobs for peo
ple around town, and his sister helped
to make their living by taking care of
offices. Then the 'Bister developed
tuberculosis, and became too weak to
work. Her brother did his best to
get a living for them, but was forced
to ask aid at times from the county.
About three months ago Ellen died,
and her brother was left alone. During
the sister s illness she was taken
care of by Mrs. Charles Parker, who
took a great interest in the old couple,
and did whatMie could to make them
comfortable. , Mrs. Parker's kindness
became known, and a local organiza
tion of society- girls called the Gypsies
gave her a testimonial of their appre
ciation of her goodness. Miss Bridges
left an agate to each of these girls at
her death.
After the sister's death the little
home where the couple had lived had
to be given up, and the old man was
forced to move to a house in the east
ern part of the city. From this, too,
he had to move later, and there was
no place for him to live.
At this time the men above named
stepped forward and made possible
this new home where the old man
may spend the rest of his days. It is
cozy and comfortable, and Bridges'
heart is full of gratitude to those who
thus provided for him.
its place In the social life of the town,
but is active in securing immigration;
ana in iuriuei ms me Dest civic inter
ests of the town. Largely through the
efforts of the Glee club the new city
hall which has only recently been
completed, was secured, and the piano
which tbey have given to the city
will have a place In one of the rooms
of this new building.
Mr. Brownell In his remaks compli
mented the club on what It had done
for the town, and the city for havine
such an organization to aid In its de
velopment. He was unusually happy
in his remarks as to the place that
music has in a city's growth. Mayor
Shlndler, on behalf of the city replied
to him and accepted the niano. After
the speeches the Glee club rendered
some songs, and the piano was dis
played later snowing its usefulness
by furnishing music for a dance.
