Albany Democrat; The Albany
football team has the material for
being the champion college team
of the .state this year, and it is be
lieved is the superior of the U of
O. The Multnomahs with Mc
Millan in the line is stronger than
ever before, and the Democrat does
cot believe Albany is quite exper
ienced enough to win against them.
The indications are now that the
OAC are as strong if not stronger
than the U of O, a fact that will
take a game to demonstrate. With
Albany's spendid team in the field
the business men ot the city should
give it a support which will make
it the superior of any of these
teams.
Eugene . Register: Football
cranks say that the Albany team
has not been given due credit. Ev
ery man on the team has had fronij
three to five years v experience
while several Oregon men. in the
game Saturday were vpractically
new at the business. Then, too,
Coach Edwards is a man of no
little ability and is ranked as one of
the best posted coaches in the
state. The work of Oregon was
certainly very listless and the in
terference ragged, but theu the
strength of the Albany team should
not be disregarded.

Cleveland, Oct. 15. Remarkable was
the courage of aged John Meach in a des
perate battle with a gana; of robbers who
planned to plunder his home last night
on a lonely country road two miles from
the village of Rochester , in Lorain coun
ty. Undaunted by the brutality of the rob
bers, who had bound him . hand and foot
and left him in a barn, Meach, who is
white-haired and ' seventy, unloosened
the thongs, secured a shotgun, shot two
of the bandits dead and wounded two
others.
Meach found his brother Jarvis, aged
sixty-five, beaten into insensibility by the
robbers. Loren, another brother, aged
eighty, aud bedridden, had not been mo
lested. Tbe house where the Meach brothers
live is secluded,, and just such a spot as
would be chosen by desperate characters
to attempt a crime. The brothers are
reckoned wealthy men, and the robbers
probably had no difficulty in learning
this. It was common report that in the
farm house was a safe in which the
Meacbes kept considerable money.
John Meach was in a barn a short dis
tance from the house about 8 o'clock If st
night when three of the robbers sprang
from: places of hiding and overpowered
him. They knocked him down, bound
him with ropes, dragged him into a cor
ner and left him, as they thought, help
less. Meach heard them run toward the
house and immediately set about to free
himself. With infinite patience the old
man tested the ropes that bound him,
and was overjoyed to find that he could
move one .of his bands slightly. He
managed to untie a knot, and the rest of
the work of releasing himself was com
paratively easy. .He crept to the barn
door and saw that one or more of the
robbers had. been left on wf.tfh.
Meach stole a; ojnd to the back of the
the barn, aud by a circuitous route ap
proached the house and noiselessly en
tered through a door that tbe robbers
had left ogeu. He was convinced that
they had silenced his brothers, and the
sound of drilling told him that they were
at work on the safe.
He secured a shotgun from a room near
that in which the robbers w ere working,
slipped two shells in the chambers, plac
ed half a dozen more in his coat- pocket,
where he could reach them easily, and
tip-toed to the door,' through "which he
could see three men at work on the safe
Meach fired both barrels almost at the
same instant. He bad caught the rob
bers "dead to rights." Two were prob
ably instantly killed by the heavy charg
es of buckshot.
The third, although seriously wound
ed ran to . the outside door and fled
through the yard. Meach slipped two
more sheila in his gun, as he gave chase,
and catching Bight of a retreating figure
as he reached the door fired again. It
was fouud later that this third shot
wounded a fourth member of the gang.
Meach then went back to the house to
look for his brothers. He found Jarvis
bleeding and unconscious from blows on
the head. Jarvis said later that the rob
bers had come upon him unawares and
struck him down before he could defend
himself. Loien, the invalid, heard what
was going on and was tortured in mind,
but could do nothing.
The neighborhood , was aroused and
the authorities started in search of the
robbers. The robber who had beea work
ing at the safe with Lis two companions
who were killed was found on the prem
ises fatally .wounded. He said his
name was Casey.
A man covered with blood and bearing
many buckshot wounds ' was captured
near Wellington Village early this morn
ing and raken to the Elyria jail. "He said
his name was Davis, but refused to make
any statement The authorities are con
fident he was one of the gang. His
wounds are serious. , It is believed that
Casey was the leader of the gang. He
had a. "Jimmy" and nitio-glycerine in
hiB possession when captured. The gang
is believed by the authorities to have
been organized in Cleveland.
Loren Meach may die as theresult of
shock. Jarvis, although painfully wound
ed, will probably recover. " John Meach
fought off the robbers before they had se
cured any money.
