He realized that he couldn't do Postmaster Johnson's stunt, and outrun a train, and by flourish of arm and swinging of hat he got the train to slow down. The first place that was within reach was the blind baggage, and there the bookseller alighted and remained .until the crossing was reached. The Portland Telegram's University of Oregon correspondent writes as fol fows: Last evening was an eventful one to a few freshmen. Some of the older students, desiring to infuse Eastern customs Into the State Uni versity , began by hazing some of the smaller freshmen. Under pretense of a football rally, these young colle gians were Invited out to take the first step toward a higher education, Races were engaged in, speeches made and those refusing to act were Immer sed in the mill race. The ground is bare around a few of the trees on the campus, and here the youngsters were given a free, unpadded ride. After these clever stunts had been perfor med, light refreshments were served, such as canned oysters with sugar which was a compulsory diet".' THE YELTON SWINDLER Still Another Corvallis Girl Victimized by Her A Bold Scheme. - Corvallis " has another young woman who was victimized by the Yelton woman, and in a way sim ilar to the case of Miss Van Hoosen whose experience was related in Wednesday's Times. The other victim is Miss Anna Brune, who re sides at the home of Sheriff Bur nett. September 29th, the Yelton woman persuaded Miss Brune to become an aeent for the sale of books for the Wabash Publishing House, of Chicago. The young woman signed a contract under the terms of which she was to canvass for sale of books, for which the publishing house was to pay her $1 per day for the first 26 days. After that she was to receive com' mission on the books sold. As a guarantee of good faith, she was to pay $5 in advance. The latter amount was paid the Yelton woman who thereafter disappeared. That was the last seen of the money by Miss Brune. And there is another chapter in the story. About a week later, Miss Brune received through the mails, a letter signed by the Wa bash Publishing House, announc ing that the latter had gone into bankruptcy, and that it would be unable to comply with the contract entered into with Miss Brune. Two or three days after that, another letter came to Miss Brune on the same subject. It was signed by George Cline, and related that the Wabash Publishing House was in financial straits, and could not car ry out its contract, but that - he had engaged in the business on the same plan. He also said in the letter that he would be glad to em ploy Miss Brune on the same terms and enclosed a contract for her to sign. The (contract was identical with that presented by the Yelton woman As in the former instance it required $5 to be paid in advance by Miss Brune. A peculiar tact in connection with the contract is, that as a witness to the signature appears the name of Mrs Jessie Yel ton, which was the name given by the woman who perpetrated the first swindle on Miss Brune. After her first experience, Miss Brune did not fall a victim to the second snare set for her. She did not send Cline the $5 required, but threw the letter aside unanswered, The whole scheme is a widespread and elaborate swindling proposi; tion that is finding many a victim! ALL SHOT TO PIECES Bloody Water and Unearthly Groans at Midnight for a New Student. "For God'-s sake, doctor, can he get well?" It was a pallid face, that of the inquirer, a face of the new student from Pumpkin Butte. The so-called doctor was another student, but not a new one, made for the occasion with pill bags and powders. A so-called wounded man lay on a bed in the room not 10,000 miles from Cauthorn Hall and let out groans distressing enough to turn a slaughter house white-headed. Of course, he was another student, and by no means a new one. His leg was bound up in many a bandage and he was re ported to be badly shot. Near by was a wash bowl full of water that was bloody, but it wasn't. It was only red ink that gave it a gory color. "Oh, tell me that he will live, doctor," the Pumpkin Butte man continued, as he wrung his hands and paced the floor. But the sol emn man of so-called science shook his head myteriously as the dying man oh the bed let out another fearful groan, and the drama went on. The anxiety ot the new man was heightened by the fact that he was charged with chief respon sibility for the terrible condition of the main guy. now suffering on the bed. A grape stealing depredation bad been proposed, but Pumpkin Butte wouldn't go. He offered however, to head a crowd to pre vent the stealing, . and catch the culprits. His plan was agreed to and in due time, as they approach ed the grape, patch, somebody be gan to shoot. At the second shot the main guy fell. . He was carried home, the bogus doctor called, and the wound discovered to be hideous. Then the new man was charged with being the cause of the shoot ing because he didn't go grape stealing in the first place, and made him weary and full of trouble. The play went on for a long time. A closing scene . happened out in the corn field. Pumpkin Butte was taken out there to watch for the man who did the shooting. For secrecy, he was caused to lie down and be covered up with corn stalks. He was told to stay until the moon went (' down. He did. The moon set at two am. For Rent Houss of eight rooms, with bath.
