Corvallis Times. Official Paper or Benton County. COBVAIXIS, OREGON, JCI.Y 89, 1903. MOT TILL THEN. ' One white man dead and nine - whites injured is the sequel to a black rapist's crime in an Illinois town Saturday. . The ' whites were .members of a mob that sought to avenge the atrocity visited upon a young girl by the negro, and the killing and maiming was by the sheriff and his deputies in defense of, the black fiend. Thehomes darkened, the lives blighted and the "harm - to society thus wrought by the devilish mania of lecherous ne groes,1 increased chapter by chap ter and day by day . , No problem of the time , is more momentous, because no other uroblem is so fraught with peril to thp Mack race, and to society. For it. as time has fully, shown there is but one solution, and that sola tionis in the" black man's .hands alone. When he ceases his as saults on white women " and ' white irirls. then and not , till then. - will the lynchings and race wars end and that final and awful ultimate settlement with white society be averted.

This vear the petition was renewed, and as before, the inhabitants of the island offered to build the bridge if the county would furnish the mate- Tial. ... .. v :': Recently Frank Miller, a bridge expert accompanied, the members of the conrt to the site, and after ra plan was settled upon the court and .people of the locality entered,, into negotiations as to the terms upon which the bridge might be built. As finally arranged, the people of the vicinity are to furnish the pil ing together with some of the tim bers for the . spans, and are to do all the work of building.

T' "lt-'.'vji.-:-i' -"-1 Xh death of ,Mrs, Fannie Baker occurred at Seattle July, 1.7th. I sShe contracted smallpox and was re moved to the pesthouse where she died without the attention of rela tives. " . Mrs Baker was "the second daughter of A. M. Witham of this county; where deceased -was 'born and grew' to womanhood. She was 49 years of age and leaves a hus band who is ill in one of the Seattle hospitals, but no children survive her. Mr. and Mrs. Baker were married here 18 years ago and had been away about ten years. ; Infor mation of Mrs. Baker's death came to her-: father here from another daughter, Mrs. Mary Bradley, of Aberdeen, who saw a brief account of the sad death in a Seattle paper. There are no further details. . Mr. Witham regrets very much that he could not have been with his daugh ter to see that she received good at tention and that the conditions were such that her remains could not be brought home for interment. Mrs. . Baker's married life was in many respects was clouded by misfortune. and Mr: Witham had, hoped . that the time might come . when , he could give her the home to ; which her - excellent womanhood entitled her.' L .Amid scenes most impressive, the funeral of the late Ichabod Henkle occurred at the family home four miles west of Philomath at 2:30 o'clock " Saturday. .The casket; flower-laden;, occupied a position in front of the fireplace in the family sitting room, where the patriarch had spent the best por tion of his life. Members of the family filled the room to 'over-flow' ing, while neighbors and old friends attended inteuch numbers that the porches and even the yard was crowded. Bishop Castle, assisted by Rev. Emerick, "conducted the service. '- The funeral oration was notable in its fervid eloquence, be ing the effort of one who classed himself among the mourners. The service began with a quar tette by Mr. and Mrs. Wasserman, their son and daughter. "Home at Last," During the progress of the services . other" specially prepared music was rendered by the quar tftte, and Rev. ' Wasserman sang a touching solo, "I want to go there, don't you?" . .- -,'' s , At the conclusion of the service many old friends who had come long. distances took a last look at the face of him whom all revered and loved and..whose hospitality , they had many a time enjoyed in this ; same room in the years long past. ..... An incident most touching was when Jacob Henkle, an aged brother, and Mrs King, a .venerable, sister, as sisted the bereaved widow to the casket for a last look at the, re mains. Of equal pathos was, the bearing away., of the remains .in which the pall : bearers twere an aged brother and five sons V of the deceased, and in which the picture presented were members of the family bearing away ; : their own sacred, dead. They were Jacob Henkle, a brother, and . five sons, Jesse,. John, Jacob Jr., Jerry and Charles. -, ' . . ' - ..

B. WEATHERFORD, . ..'. ... Trussree. . A special meeting of the city council was held Friday evening. An ordinance " was passed, direct ing the construction of, a lateral sewer through two blocks in which the Hays and Pratt residences are located. - The advertisement for bids appears in these columns. The award of the, lateral sewer through' Hotel Corvallis block, for which J. W. Ingle was the lowest bidder was reconsidered and with-' drawn. It turns out that the ; old brick sewer at the point where the lateral was to intersect is but five feet and nine inches below the sur face of the ground, and that the lateral would be'- lower than the main and accordingly without an outlet. An ordinance was present ed proposing an extension of the lateral- through the Occidental ho tel block to a connection with the Jefferson street main, Some op position to the extension was of fered, and the matter was : referred to the sewer committee for a re port. Slight amendment was made to the action of the council with ref erence to the city water supply. At a former meeting it was voted to pay the I Water Company but $33.- 3 per month for water, the same being based on no pay for the sev en cisterns, which were declared to be practically useless for fire pro tection. ; It , was shown that a verbal arrangement had been made with the Water Company by which sewer flushing was to be paid for at Portland metre rates for the act ual amount of -water consumed,"and that this arrangement was practic ally equivalent to a contract for the present summer months! The coun-1 cil voted unanimously, to allow pay at Portland rate for sewer flushing for the present dry months or un til the rainy season returns, when sewer flushing by - artificial means will be unnecessary. The council also voted unanim ously to instruct the r police judge to serve notice on the Water Com pany with reference to the action of the council concerning the city's allowance for water tor city pur poses. - :-' V . : "' v " At the meeting, the ' announce ment was made that ' the Water Company had a proposition to make to the council with reference to the water supply,' and a special water committee was appointed to receive and negotiate concerning the same.

His Weapon, a Revolver It Happened ''at Night West of Dusty. , In the darkness of early "bight, along the road between Dusty and a-spot six miles- to the westward in the mountains, James Ray and an old she bear , and her two cabs had. a fight' the. other,, ey; enirig. Ray was a belated traveller, en route from Dusty .to his , hom, where he and -his father together conduct a bachelor's hall. It was ifarly dark and as he passed objects sloDg the way could .only Jje - seen dimly. He was afoot and was mak ing his way with the swift stride of a woodsman; ? when; a hueky growl aod snort in the road just ahead brought him to a sense of danger Several yards ahead in the road he could see the dim outlines of fortn which the growl indicated to be that of a bear. . Hard by the roadside was a pile of logs and de bris and on this the traveller leap ed. The act disturbed the pile and horn under the loga ran a bear cub ' Ray carried a revolver, and he fired at once .at. the fleeing cub The ball struck, and the equall that the youngster luted, set bats an owls a-flving and cold chills chas ing each other up Ray's back. With an arjgry growl, the . bear mother answered the pqualls of her cu wito a rush at Ray. -The revolver was a self-cocker and the blinding flashes and sharp reports from if, followed each other in quick succession as Ray pumped lead into his assailant. : The firing brought her to a halt temporarily ana gave time for Kay, when the chambers of his weapon were a; empty, to leap from his log pile and beat a retreat down the road. Thfe story1 is that he got away on a beautiful stride, that be held to it line a racer, and that the mile or two that he made in the next few minutes were smashers of all reo ords known or unknown. Mr. Ray has been in town since, but was un able to say whether the old bear and her cub are survivors or vie tims of the incident.
