P.prjeffoz, the Jeweler, -. 1 ' rr tramp Who Tried to Steal Unenvi able Distinction- io:, : It is said that tramps seldom steal anything of value and a Cor vallis incident of the past week will go far toward establishing the im pression. Friday evening a colored gentle man made his appearance in Cor vallis. He sought the nightwatch for the purpose of securing lodging. The officer subsequenlly sought him, but both failed in their quest. In the early afternoon of Saturday Chief Lane encountered the ebony hued individual and the latter wis pleased at the meeting because the officer could doubtless assist him in securing a hall or church in which to deliver a few sermons. "I am a. nrnister" said the stranger, "but recently I met with an unplasant experience in King's Valley, ' I h ope to be accorded a better recep tion in Corvallis." , At the moment the Kings Valley episode of the colored minister and stale eggs did not occur to the officer, who remar ked that the gentleman's attire was not strikingly ministerial in style and cut. The fellow was in fact dressed as a tramp, but he explai ned that his be t suit had been next to ruined by the eggs which had been broken upon his person at Kings Valley, and that since he in tended to be in Eugene in a short time he had forwarded his clothing to that place to be cleaned. "When a person has had about three hun dred eggs thrown at him," he con tinued his "clothes are not likely to be presentable in public." The last remark in.the mind of the offi cer, convicted r the stranger,- who had no learned sufficiently of the Kings Valley affair to , enable him to successfully pose as. the victim thereof., IJo such number of eggs had been thrown. Chief Lane at once ordered him out of town. The negro wanted to present testimoni als of his character and calling, but the officer was obdurate, and the impious fraud succumbed to what he -deemed the inevitable.' La'eriu the day the negro was seen with a number of other tramps in the vicinity of the Bryant school house a few miles north of town. . It? has since developed that the negro cal led upon several local ministers and if he was not admitted into fnll fellowship, was in some - instances admitted to the dining room. IS A HINDOO.
