A, LOGGER'S. WILD SHOT It Put Botsford & Sargent Out of Busi ness for Two Days. . : r b Botsford & Sargent is the name of the firm which conducts a shoot ing gaHery and nigger-baby nurs ery in a long tent on the unimprov ed lot just south of the Hotel Cor vallis. Pretty much all kinds : of people go there to take a crack at the mocking bird or some other of a dozen species of lairds arranged j there for the convenience oi the marksmen. There are also op portunities for the man who can't handle a ctin.. For a small con sideration he has the privilege of pelting the colored juvenile family with baseballs,; The latter amuse ment is attended with less, danger to residents of the vicinity, and to the nigger babies themselves, than is occasionally the target practice This fact was forcibly illustrated a few. evenings ago when a logger whose vision was somewhat . im paired by intoxication took a shot and missed the whole flock of birds. Whed the gun was . discharged, there was no familiar 'spat" against the background; - there was no sound of the center bell, the cuck oo s voice was still, and there was not a twitter from any one of the fnatherecVtribe. The persons present looked at each, other jn. wonder and the nigger babies were -: drunk with astonishment. Where had the bullet gone? The problem was solved when Marshal Miller ap peared on the scene and. announced that a shot had been' fired through one of the rear windows of his residence on the opposite side of the block. Mr Sargent" states that he did; not notice, at nrst, that his . patron was drunk,- and that the gun was accidentally discharged.: However, on complaint of Mr Miller the shooting gallery way closed on the ground that the business as conducted was dangerous. To ov ercome this objection the proprie tors on Friday c ompleted an ex tensive structure at the rear of the- tent similar , to the backstop on a baseball field. It is 14 feet high and 34 feet long,1 and built of two inch lumber. The authorities in spected the structure Saturday morning and pronounced the ar rangement safe, at least as far as Miller's residence is concerned. Ac cordingly, business wasresumed at once. After this Mr Sargent will insist that any of his boozy patrons shall take their " amusement wit,h the babies, - . . - For Sale.

Organ & Carriage Factory, PREPARATIONS ON The Plav Will be" Fast and Furious - Football Teams and Coaches. "Interest in football never - ran higher than it does now in certain sections of Benton county, Dusty and . Philomath Woodmen are pitted against each other for a big game to be played on O AC held the after noon of December 30th. That is the day ior the Woodmen celebra tion, and -all the . members round about as well as other people inter ested in sports will be in, town to see things a-doing. " The occasion will be the climax of days and days of preparation, and.- the biggest thing of all will be the football game. For it, the country is being scoured for Woodmen who can punch the pigskin the hardest or tackle the other side the most:, suc cessfully and out ofit all excitement and fun is a brewing. Both teams are hard at practice, and each has a coach to put the players on to the latest tricks and formations. Bruce Burnett is coaching the Dusty team and David Gellatly is doing a sim ilar stunt-for the Philomath men. With an awful lot of good muscle and big brawn on both sides, there will be razors in the air, figuratively speaking, when the two lines go up against each other. Players from the Philomath team were in town yesterday laying in football supplies, and it is supposed went home with shin guards - nose guaids, arnica and other necessi ties. - Corvallis people are looking forward to the game, and will at tend it in large numbers. - i - ' To Rent.
