- III OTHER TIMBS.
When They Shot Revolvers Then
Were Less Fatal Three Noted
Affrays.
OM'ime shooting affrays are re
called by the events of last Sunday
morning. Among these, one of
the most sensational occurred almost
on the very spot where the second
shooting of Sunday morning hap
pened. It was figured out at the
time that about sixteen shots were
fired, but none of them did damage.
Ed Scott occupied a position behind
a telephone pole near Wilkin's
corner, and on the James Taylor
corner Officer McLagin and Em
'mett Taylor, then chief of police
were firing. It was on the evening
of the county election 10 years ago.
and a large crowd was on the
street. As the fusilade went on
Joseph Ripley took a shot or two
at Scott from the livery stable
corner, and Pasco Williamson
bombarded the man at the tele
phone pole, from the vicinity of
what is now the Crees home. By
and by, Scott's ammunition gave
out and he turned and ran in the
direction of Pasco's position. The
latter smelt danger, and the story
is laughable as told by Dr. Lee and
others as to how Pasco threw dirt
in the effort to escape, Scott was
captured in the alley in the rear of
Mrs. Lee's house, by a bartender
named "Cupid,"
A shooting affray scarcely less
sensational was one between George
Maddox and George BauerliD,
which took place on the street
about the middle of the block
across the street from the Farmers
hotel, ten or eleven years ago.
There was bad blood between the
two, and one forenoon they met on
the sidewalk. Both were armed.
Maddox havine two revolvers in
his pocket. At so close a range
that the belligerents could almost
touch each other, firing began, and
continued with reports like that of
a bunch of exploding firecrackers,
until both men had emptied their
revolvers. Maddox' s last shot
struck Bauerlin so that it . passed
in the eye cavity just above the
ball. It strucka bone somewhere
and was diverted in its course, and
subsequently Bauerlin took it from
his mouth. He was carried home
on a stretcher, and everbody sup
posed for a time that his injury
was fatal, but within two or three
weeks he was on the street again.
During the shooting Maddox was
struck in the pistol arm, and chang
ing his weapon into the other
hand, he continued to fire until
Bauerlin fell.
Nick Baeson known to all old-
timers in Corvallis, was carried off
on a stretcher as the result of still
another shooting that took place
a dozen years ago. The saloon
stood somewhere in the vicinity of
what is now Whitehorn's brick.
Sid Moore and Baeson-had trouble
and Moore swore he could lick any
Dutchman in town. That touched
off John Mensinger, and hostilities
began. Moore was soon on his
back on the floor with Mensinger
on top of him, the latter raining
blows with the same force that his
blacksmith's arm was wont to give
his sledge hammer. Then Joseph
McTimmons, proprietor of the
place appeared with a revolver,
and standing over Mensinger, be
gan to shoot at the back o'f the head
of the blacksmith. The pistol was
emptied, and by that time Baeson
was stretched out on the floor and
Mensinger's head was covered with
blood. The latter ' had been so
busy pommeling Moore that he
was scarcely aware of the attack
with artillery from the rear. There
was a big bullet hole in his jaw,
and a large piece of the flannel
shirt he wore was in it. He and
the doctors are said to have pulled
bits of flannel from the wound for a
week afterward. There were sev
eral bullet slashes on his head, but
none of the lead got through the
skull. "Didn't we paaralyze 'em"
was the first remark he made, after
the crowd that came finally pulled
him off of Moore. Baeson's wound
which entered the navel was
not serious. The ball passed
around the body, and was taken
out at the backbone. The same
revolver that McTimmons used on
this occasion, was used by Maddox
in the aflray with Bauerlin.

FOR POULTRY SHOW.
Ia Corvallis It is to be ou a big Scale
The Plan.
It is proposed to have a poultry
show o surpassing proportions in
Corvallis. The date is to be months
and months in the future, but the
movement is already begun. The
greatest scorer on the coast has been
secured, and this assets alone is
expected to draw exhibits galore.
The reason it will draw ' is that
Doultrv fanciers are anxious to have
their birds pass under the eye of i
famous scorers in order to tnem-
selves learn what are the most suc
cessful points, so they can subse
quently breed to suit.
The plan has been discussed ior
some time. It took shape in a
meeting held Wednesday evening,
at which nearly all the fanciers in
town were present, F. L. Miller
presided, and Otto . L,. ilerse was
secretary Conditions were canvas
sed, pro and con, and by unani
mous vote it was determined to
proceed with an organization for
the purpose of perfecting details
for the big show. The date was
fixed at December 8th 9th and 10th.
B. W. Johnson W. G. Emery and
CM. McKellips were appointed a
committee on constitution and by
laws and A. L. Knisley, Dr. Lester
and Gene Simpson were named as
a committee on canvassing for
membeaship. Another meeting is
to be held in two weeks. C. G.
Hines, the noted California expert
has been secured . as scores. .. He
scored at the San Francisco and
Seattle exhibit last year, and has
been secured for the same shows
this year.

If present indications are to be
relied upon the coming virtuoso of
America may perhaps be found in
the person of the young violinist,
Elmore Rice, who has attached such
wide spread attention amongst crit
ics aud musical circles during the
past two years. His style is matur
ing rapidly, his tone more broad
and firm, his attacted more accurate
and his technique better than when
we last heard him. He certainly
posesses to a marked degree an ar
tistic temperament. His reportoire
is excellent and includes composi

THE BULLET HOLE.
Ia Osburn's Collar Turner Sentenced
' to 50 Days Things People say..,
. .
Though it is now history, there
is still much talk about town of the
terrible drama of last Sunday morn-!
ing. The two funeraR the incar
ceration of young Turner,; and the
slow recovery of Officer Osburn,
have been incidents of the passing
week. A strong . effort was made
by the officers to implicate Turner
as an accessory in the shooting of
the officers, but so far it has been
barren ot result. . More than a
score of witnesses were put through
a searching examination, but the
evidence was not secured that war
ranted the charge implicating the
defendant, and the case on that
account is continued for the pres
ent. ,. .v: r
Turner, however, is serving out
a 50 days sentence in the county jail
for carrying a concealed weapon,
and is in addition to pay a fine of
$10 He was charged with the of
fense in Justice Holgate's court
Thursday morning, and pleaded
guilty.
A relic of the shooting that at
tracted considerable attention while
it was to be seen about town, was
the collar worn by Officer Osburn
at the time he was shot. It is a
stiff linen affair, and two . inches to
the left of where it buttons, and
perhaps a quarter an inch below
the top of it, is the bullet hole. A
few spots of powder burn are to be
seen on the shiny surface near the
bullet mark. The shape of the
hole throws a little light on the
coutse taken by the bullet. In
cidentally, there is a general belief
that the collar, in all human pro
bability saved the officer's life. Be
ing very stiff, it unquestionably
did much to break the force of the
bullet, and in fact may have slight
ly diverted the bullet so that vital
organs like the jugular v,ein in the
neck were missed. The relic has
been taken to the home of Mr.
Osburn.
Incidental to the shooting, many
opinions are advanced, and much
advice is given, but out of it all
stands one universally admitted
fact that the course pursued by the
officers is marked by great discre
tion, by wise action and by com
plete disregard of personal danger.
The Howard Lake, Minn Herald
says: The Elmore Rice concert in
City Hall Monday evening, under
the auspices of the W. R. C., had
a much larger attendance than could
have been expected at this season
Mr. Rice is a highly accomplished
violinist, and his ease, " grace and
expression with which he renders
the most dithcult classical music "is
truly wonderful. , The audience re
ceived him enthusiastically and he
cheerfully responded to the encores.

DAMAGED BY FROST.
That is What is Expected of the Prnna
: Crop Later Reports Awaited.
Grave fears are entertained for
the safety of the Italian prune crop.
There was a considerable frost last
Friday morning and it" is believed
that on account of moist , conditions
that prevailed at that time, serious
injuries have resulted to Italian
prune orchards. Manager Johnson
made an examination of the big
prune orchard Wednesday, and he
is certain that wide damage has, re
sulted there. In parts of the or
chard the blooms have suffered
greatly. Some of the trees 'are
still blooming, and it is possible
that the late blooms may in part re
trive the losses. If they do not it
is the estimate now that in that or
chard there will not be more than
one-fourth of a crop. Of course it
is yet early to determine with cer
tainty the full extent of the damage
because of the later blooms; but
the situation at this time looks very
bad. :; -... ,-
In the. case , of cherries, apples,
peaches and other fruits there is
prospect of an abundant crop.
