him to hand over the money in sight,
about 350 dollars.. Then he beat it.
But a crowd quickly followed He was
chased to a mill property on the out
skirts of the town, where he hid in
the broom brush and then crawled in
to the water and hid under a turban
wheel. He was soon dislodged by Sher
iff Mass and his deputies and Was
brought to the jail here, thoroughly
cniiieo ana coweu.
Arrainged before Justice Sievers he

"The Deerslayer" at The Grand Next
Monday Night
In the olden days, before the time of
the revolution, few settlers had trav
elled more than a few hundred miles
from the seacoast except along the
sides of the great lakes. Almost the
only white men to be found wree
stray trappers and hunters and the
and the soldiers in scattered British
forts, placed there chiefly to protect
lines of traffic, such as from Albany
to Montreal. A little off this beaten
path was Lake Glimmerglass, now
known as Ostego and not many miles
from Utica. It is here that the scene
of the fascinating pioneer romance
of J. Fenimore Cooper is laid, the
story of Deerslayer. He was a man of
peace and yet a mighty hunter. In
knowledge of the ways of the Indians
and of wood-craft, he excelled, due to
the fact that he had been brought up
by a Deleware tribe, who had cared
for him after the death of his white
parents. The story tells how Deer
slayer, when helping an Indian friend,
Chingachgook, "the Serpent" met
with Judith Hutter, and of her hope
less love. It is a tale of heroism and
noble self-sacrifice, an inspiration to
better things, gripping throughout by
its intensity and nobility of character.
"The Deerslayer" forms a most at
tractive subject for the moving-picture
film, because of its freedom of
action and its strong dramatic possib
ilities. The Vitagraph Company; al
ways on the. lookout for good things,
have produced the story in a two
part photo-play, which will be shown
in this city at the Grand Theatre, Or
egon City next Monday July 14. All
who have seen this wonderful picture
on the screen unite in praising the
production, which is at once educat
ional and yet extremely entertaining.

in attendance, including families of
the mill men and friends. All were

He is an eloquent speaker and was
well-posted on the subject of his ad
dress of "Independence Day."
The day's festivities opened with a
parade and was one of the best ever
held in Molalla. Many beautifully
decorated automobiles and carriages
were in line, headed by the Molalla
band. The second division was led by
the Marquam band. A handsomely
decorated Liborty car with Miss Mar
guerite Faurie as Goddess of Liberty
and her attendants, Miss Laura Judd
and Miss Goldle Harless, were sur
rounded by children, who represented
the states and territories.
After the programme was given the
houses, as, well as residences were
gaily decorated with the National
colors.
A Quick Answer.
A Terslan governor was out In the
fores one morning In pursuit of game
when his horse shied and.nearly threw
him. The governor looked for the
cause and saw a very ugly little man
standing in the path asking for alms.
The great man grew angry and, in 'the
fashion of the east ordered the poor
man to have his head cut off.
The poor man begged for mercy and
cried, "What is my crime that I should
be thus punished?"
"Your crime Is your unlucky face,
which was the first I met this morn
ing and which nearly caused my death
fall"
"Aias," said the beggar, "but what
must I consider your highness' face,
which Is the first I saw this morulng
and wblah Is to cause my death?"
The governor liked the poor fellow's
ready wit, and Instead of carrying out
his commnnd be gave him a hnndsoma
