OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1913.
JAGGER HAS $100
TO NAIL FALSITY
Frank Jaggar, whoae integrity was
attacked by a communication in a re
cent issue of The Courier, in which
it was charged that he received pay
ment from the county for the use of.
. a steam roller on county roads, has
offered $100 to anybody who can pro
duce any record or document showing
that he profited in any way from the
. use of the roller. The facts, as given
by Mr. Jaggar, are as follows:
Whi e road supervisor he desired
the use of a steam roller, but was un
able to get one of the county at that
time had. He therefore purchased
one from the Buffalo-Pi! ts company,
paying therefore $3,250, and has the
cheques to prove it. After using the
roller a year upon counr.y work, he
sold it to the county for $3,150. Dur
ing the year that he was using it, he
also expended $200 for a shad and
acre of ground on wnich to keep the
. roller at Carus, and never asked the
county to reimburse him 'for it.
"I have $100 that I will give to any
man who can prove that I ever got
a cent out of the county for that rol
ler while I had it," says Mr. Jaggar.
''Somebody who signed himself "Hay
seed' wrote to The (Courier and said
the county paid me $25 a day while
I was using it. Thai is a de'iberate
lie, manufactured to injure me - and
the county court, and I'll pay $100 to
anybody who can find any record or
other proof to controvert my state
ment." ' In this week's issue of The Courier
there is a half-hearted retrac'ion of
the letter that roused Mr. Jaggar's
ire.

MENACE TO PEOPLE
In spite of the request of the ctiy
council that pending the becoming ef
fective of the muzzling ordinaincs
for dogs, owners of cannies restrain
their pets from running at large, dogs
of high and low degree continue to
travel about undisturbed, both in the
city and in the suburbs. Some weeks
ago Chief of Police Ed Shaw issued a
warning to all dog-owners to license
their pets, but there has been no
rush to comply with the this law
either.
Two children and a man have been
bitten by dogs since the hydrophobia
scare reached Oregon Ctiy, but own
ers of these animals seem to feel that
it is alway "the other fellow's dog"
that will do the mischief. The autor
ifles are not taking steps for the re
straint of animals, owing to the fact
tat there is no legal power to back
them up; but wtih the becoming ef
fective of the muzzling ordinance,
there will be a strict crusade against
the wandering canins.
This ordinance will take effect next
week, ad as soon as it becomes a law
there is laible fo be a scarctiy of live
dogs in the city unless they are muz
zled ar securely leashed on private
property.
A Professional
- Episode
By DONALD CHAMBERUN
While the Spauish-American war
was being fought a very pretty girl
came into my consulting room I am
an oculist with a very sad face and
surprised me by asking me to take
out one of her eyes. My first supposi
tion was that it had been injured and
she dreaded that it would affect the
sight of the other one, but upou study
ing her face for a time 1 saw indica
tions of an unbalanced mind. So I
3lmply asked her for her reasons.
"I am engaged to a soldier boy now
in Cuba," she said, "and he has writ
ten me that a Spanish bullet took out
one of his eyes. He says that he will
never permit me to sacrifice myself
for him. If I have the same disfig
urement he can't talk so."
It seemed likely that the girl had
brooded . over her lover's misfortune
and the danger of losing him till her
mind had become affected. But I did
not believe that her trouble was per
manent. I tried to persuade her to do
something to divert' her miud from her
trouble, but finally, realizing the futil
ity of reasoning with oue suffering
from mental depression and fearing
that she might do herself bodily in
jury, I said to her:
"Very well. If by this day week
you still feel as you do come here at
3 o'clock In the afternoon and I will
perforin the operation."
I was so busy during the next week
that I never once thought of the girl
till on the afternoon I had appointed
she came in promptly at the hour
named. It seemed to me that the
shortest, the easiest and the safest
way to get rid of her would be to pre
tend to do what she asked. So I told
her that if I took out her eye she
would have to wear a bandage over it
till the wound healed, otherwise she
would lose the sight of her other eye
and become totally blind. I would not
operate without her promise not to re
move the bandage herself or permit
any one else except me to do so. She
gave the required promise. .
, I made the same preparations as if
I were about to perform a real opera
tion, putting on .my rubber apron
making myself look like a butcher
then called in an assistant, to whom I
had explained what I proposed to do,
and, placing the girl in an operating
chair, directed my assistant to apply
an anaesthetic. As soon as the pa-
. tient had lost consciousness I placed a
pad over the eye in question and held
it in position by means of bandages.
To complete the deception I showed
- her an eye in spirits. She wished to
pay me for the operation, but I told
her, that being unprofessional, I would
: not take pay. Moreover, I warned her
to tell no one what I had done, for if
she did I would probably be eliminat
ed from my profession. She promised
to confide only In me and went away.
The girl was to come to Bee me at
my request onco a week since I wish
ed to keep track of her and, if she
Meavered her mental balance, confess

to her that 1 had not taVen out ner
eye. She came once, and I saw that
her condition was very much im
proved. Then for three weeks I saw
nothing of her. One morning a young
man with a green patch over one eye
came into my office, and I saw by his
lowering brow that he had come to
give me a piece of his mind, if nothing
more.
"What did you mean," he roared,
"by taking a good eye out of a wo
man's head?"
I suspected, of course, that he was
the returned soldier boy lover of the
girl I had pretended to operate on, but
contented myself for the present by
asking him what he meant, whereupon
he told me that, having returned from
the war in Cuba, his betrothed had
told him that she had persuaded me
to make things equal between them
by having one eye removed. "And
now," he said, "I've come home with
out losing my eye after all, though it
will never be as good as the other one.
The doctors told me they would have
to take it out to save the other one,
but they didn't; they saved it I'm
going to begin suit against you for
malpractice at once."
"What did the surgeons tell you they
would have to take out your eye for
when they didn't do it, that you might
not be disappointed? How do you
know but that the girl who loves you
has come out better than she ex
pected?" "What do you mean?"
"Is her mind affected?" I asked.
"Certainly not."
I was pleased to hear this and
straightway' told -the young man that
her mind had been affected and that I
had possibly saved her from ruining
her eye by pretending to take it out
He seized my hand joyfully and. not
contented with this, threw both his
arms about my neck.
"Where is my patient?" I asked.
"In the anteroom."
"Bring her in here, and I will give
her a surprise. Don't disabuse her.
Leave it to me."
He went out and brought in the girl.
I saw at once that she had recovered
her mental balance, and she looked at
me reproachfully. I sat- her down be
fore a mirror and proceeded leisurely
to take off the bandage, then removed
ihe pad.
To see her face when she saw her
two eyes in her head lighted up with
delight in every feature was one of
the pleasantest episodes in my profes
sional career. . -

CLAY COURT TENNIS TITLE.
Omaha Will Hold Big Event July 21 to
27 Inclusive. -
The fourth annual national clay
court tennis tourney, to be held on the
courts of the Omaha Field club, Oma
ha, Neb.. July 21 to July 27 inclusive,
promises to be one of the greatest ever.
Tennis champions from California,
New York, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska,
North and South Dakota. Missouri, Il
linois, Pennsylvania and, in fact, every
state where the popular game holds
sway will battle for the beautiful cups
emblematic of the singles and doubles
championships of the world.
The Omaha Field club courts are con
ceded to be the best clay courts in the
world, and because of this Omaha has
been selected for the national cham
pionships for three of the four compe
titions.
The 1913 list of aspirants will be the
most representative of any field. As
the game has grown so has interest In
it, especially the clay courts end, and
today tennis men from all parts are
being rapidly converted to the clay
courts competition. The fascination of
the perfect court has much to do with
the popularity of the game. It means
as much to the tennis player to play on
a clay court as it does to the ball player
to play on the skinned diamond.
To lend added interest in the 1913
championships Gustive Touchard of
New York has signified his intention of
competing. Merrill Hall of New York,
who, paired with H. H. Hackett, won
the 1912 championships in doubles last
year in Pittsburgh, will also be on
band.
California, which in the past has been
represented by Melville Long, national
champion, will send a strong delega
tion, as will Colorado and other west
ern states. Roland Hoerr and Drum
mond Jones will look after Missouri's
laurels on behalf of St Louis, while
Jack Cannon of Kansas City, Mis
souri's state champion, will also be on
hand to take the trophies back to "Old
tezou."
Nebraska will have a delegation of
forty from all Darts of the Btate. which
