of Affair
Charged with discharging a firearm
inside -of the corporate limits of the
city, Adam W. Wilkinson was fined
$5 in the municipal court Monday
morning as the sequel to his hunt for
"Peeping Toms" in the neighborhood
on the hill.
He was arrested midnight Saturday
by Fire Chief Mike Long, Charles Sur-
fus, and J. Wyman and the complaint
filed against him, though he was im
mediately released on his own prom
ise to appear in court Monday and
meet the charges. ,
His Story
Wilkinson's story, as told to Chief
of Police Ed Shaw, and coroborated
by the women of the neighborhood, is
that he volunteered to watch about the
house of Mrs. January in the Kansas
City addition for "Peeping Toms"
who were suspected of prowling in
that locality. Wilkinson is a friend
of the January family and he stayed
on the job until a late hour, when ha
drew his revolver, fired two shots in
the air to warn night visitors and
started home.
He walked straight into the arms of
Long ,Surfus and Wyman, who were
also looking for "Peeping Tom" and
who heard the shots. Wilkinson, ad
mitted firing the revolver and was ar
rested, but was released on his own
recognizance by Chief of Police Shaw
until Monday morning.
Chief Investigates
The chief investigated the story and
talked to the women in the neighbor
hood who eoroborated what Wilkinson
had said. The neighborhood has been
infested with peepers for the last few
weeks and the officers had made an
effort to find the men. Wilkinson
had started on a little detective work
of his own and planned to get the man
without knowing that the chief had
placed officers on the lookout in the
district.
In the last few nights, the officers
have heard little in the way of com
plaint from the peepers, but tney have
been on the lookout for their presence
in the neighborhood.

DESCRIPTION OF JOBBER MEAGER
Bandit Orders Victim to Run and Not
Look Back as he Goes Home
Wants Only Cash and
Leaves Watch
Bradley Woodward, 19 years old,
was held up and robbed of $3 as he
was going home by way of the Fourth
street steps at midnight Sunday. Just
as he reached the first base of the
steps, a man stepped out in front of
him, commanded him to throw up his
hands and went through his pockets
in short order.
Though the boy had a va'.uable gold
watch in his hip pocket, the robber
evidently cared for nothing but actual
cash and left the valuables that he car
ried. After he had satisfied himself
that the boy had no more money with
him, he turned and ordered him up
the steps and told him not to look
back while he "beat it." '
Officer's Brother
The boy is a brother of Night Offi
cer Woodward and he immediately no
tified the policeman of the affair. The
younger brother was so badly shaken
by his experience that he furnish the
police but a slight clue of the man's
appearance and the officers had not
been able to locate him up to a late
hour last night. It is presumed that
the man had come in on a late car
from Portland and that he caught the
next train out before the officers could
be notified of the trouble. The place
where the hold-up occurred was on
the first base of the steps in the
shade of the trees from the bluff and
where the boy could see fut a few
feet in front of him.
Accustomed, however, to make his
way home by these steps, he was not
alarmed by the possibilities of any
trouble and not until it was all over
did he have the chance to realize what
a beautiful place it is for the highway
robber. ' The only description that he
could give to his brother was that the
man was short and wore a light suit
and a light crushed hat.
The officers believe, however, that
the man manged to get away one one
of the trains immediately following
the hold-up and that he was out of tlfe
ctiy before they could be warned of
the trouble.

a whoopee sandwiched in. when Charles Farra, claimant to the broncho busting championship of the world, performs.
This shows just how this darink Oklahoma cowpuncher looks when he's in action. He is riding a vicious pony called
Corkscrew. He took the twist out of him at a recent contest in broncho busting In Oklahoma. Perhaps you have seen
an imitation broncho busting exhibition at one of the wild west shows, but the real thing is a much different prop
osition. The life of the rider is constantly in danger, for the ponies try their best not only to unseat their tamer,
but to injure or kill him as well.

To keep the Sabbath as their fath
ers kept it and as it has been made
famous by the poems of "Bobbie"
Burns ,is the pVogram of the Oregon
City Robert Burns' society, hereafter.
No more Sunday baseball, no whistl
ing or singing of rag-time, no dances,
no amusement that smirks of the
wickedness of the world is to be toler
ated if the Scots follow out their pro
gram and if the faith of the fathers is
kept in the way that the fathers kept
it. All of the Sunday amusements are
to be tabooed in the future and Sun
day picnics are, among many other
things that "break" the Sabbath, to
be placed severely under the ban.
In the judgment of the old . Scots,
Fun Breaks Sabbath
anything that tended toward Sunday
amusement was a violation of the
Sabbath day. To them, whistling on
the Sabbath was criminal and the
playing of rag-time music or any oth
er than the church hymns or psalms
was looked upon with disfavor. Many
of the Scotch here remember their
early homes in the country of Bobby
Burns and they looked back last night
upon the incidents that have happen
ed in their own families in the days
when they lived on the Scottish heath.
The ban upon Sunday amusements
came when Kennedy and William Mc
Larty gave, an address to the members
of the society upon the way that the
Scots of the old country kept the
Sabbath. The change that came over
GIRLS IN LOVE WITH
LOCAL OUTING SPOTS
An ideal spot for an outing is on
Falls View, Oregon City. At least it
was pronounced so in unmistakable
terms by Miss Alberta F. Cory, physi
cal director at the Portland Y .W. C.
A. and a party of a dozen girls Sun
day mforning after having spent the
night rolled in blankets on the ground.
Miss Cory is admirably fitted to
judge of outing sites, as she is the or
ieinator of the "Camp Fire Girls," in
Oregon, a movement very similar for
girls to what the Boy Scouts is for
boys, and which is creating a very
wide interest.
When Miss Cory came' here from
New York five years ago, the Y. W.
C. A. was occupying two floors of the
Beck Bldg. corner of 6th and Oak Sts.
with a membership of 1600. Now they
occupy the whole building corner of
Broadway and Taylor strets with a
membership of 5400.
Not a little of this remarkable in
crease is due to the inducements of
fered through the gymnasium and
swimming pool where equipment and
instruction are of the best, at redicul
ously low rates.
Miss Mollie Ross, a member of the
gymnasium class had a bonfire pre
pared for the arrival of the party Sat
urday night and furnished breakfast
Sunday morning, after which several
of the party visited the local Presby
terian church.

the immigrants when they arrived in
the West and their altered attitude
on Sunday amusements was discuss
ed at length by the brothers who went
into the subject thoroughly and
brought to mind incidents in the lives
of many of the members of the organ
ization. Through it all, the poems of Bobby
Burns that have made the history of
the people of Scotland famous over
the English speaking world was
thrown into the discussion and tk-a
stories that he tells in the lives of
the people of that historic land.
Are Enthused
So enthused were the members of
the society over the story told of the
days when they were back on their na
tive heath, that some of them suggest
ed a return to th"e stringent Sabbath
laws of their fathers and as keen an
observance of the day as they held
when they lived under a parental roof.
To keep the day as their fathers
kept it, the Scots will have to taboo
all Sunday amusements of every kind.
No Sunday baseball, no rag-time music
no picnics, no whistling or singing of
anything but the most sacred of the
church hymnals will be tolerated un
der the new regime. .

Isa and Martha McLarty, and "I Love

them.
Mir. Long has been an owner of a
