vallis Thursday. A part of the
machinery had not arrived, how
ever, and only a small portion of
it was ready for transportation ton
the mill. Mr. Walters is the father
of Fred Walters, one of the well
known players and captain of the
'97 football team at OAC.
Theie was a pleasant affair
Thursday evening in the Odd Fel
lows hall. It was a social given by
Ah& United Artisans in honor of the
fraternal visit to the lodge of Su
preme Master Artisan Hudson and
Supreme Medical Examiner Monion.
There was a large number of invit

bers of the local lodge, and every
one had a good time. Besides
music there were short addresses
by the honored guests, and a ban-
quet to conclude the evening.
In their hall Tuesday evening,
the 35th anniversary of the A. O.
U. W. and the D. of H. lodges in

a reading by Miss Sadie Dixon; a
vocal solo by Mrs. Berchtold ; and a
recitation by Miss Gladys Moore.
About 80 guests were present and
enjoyed an elaborate banquet that
was the conclusion of this pleasant
affair.
The Utah football men left
yesterday for Portland, where they
are to play Multnomah this after
noon. After that they go to Cal
ifornia, for a game with Stanford
and thence to Reno, for a turn at
the Universi'y of Nevada eleven,
the latter of which will be the fifth
game played on the tour. ' Many
expressions commendatory of their
treatment at Corvallis were made
by the departing visitors. Coach
Campbell said that nowhere have
his men encountered treatment so
hospitable and courteous. The
captain re echoed the . sentiment,
and added that nowhere had they
found townspeople so considerate
of visitors and at the, same time so
enthusiastic in support of their
home college and college men. The
Utahans are a well behaved and
most estimable body of husky,
wholesome lads.
The two football games that
are to determine . the Northwest
championship are to be played at
Corvallis. There are only three
teams in line for the honor. These
are the University of Oregon, the
University of Idaho, and OAC.
Pullman is out of it by reason of a
defeat at the hands of Idaho and
U of O has defeated Albany and
Willamette. The University of
Washington is not in line because
of her defeat by OAC. This leaves
, UofO, UofI and OAC to settle
the matter between themselves.
The University of Oregon plays
OAC on the 19th at Corvallis, and
five days later, n the same ground
Idaho plays the OAC men. Unless
there should be tie scores or a de
feat for OAC in both instances,
the two games should decide the
Northwest championship. In any
event, greater interest will attach
to each game than to any other
inter-collegiate game played hi the
Northwest this season.

There is considerable complaint
among residents of the vicinity
concerning a nuisance - at the cor
ner of Main and Washington. It
is in tne snape 01 pa my Durnea
hay that is - decaying, and from
which there is a noisome odor.
The hay is "not worth anythiug.
nobody wants ownership of it, and
the fact that its removal will be
more or less expensive accounts
for the condition. It ought to be
carted away, even if the city has
it to do. "
Misses Mary Nolan and Mable

This is one they tell on an R.F.
D. carrier. He wanted to see the
big football game Wednesday. His
leaving time with the mail is 12:30
and arrival about six or seven. He
made up his mind to see the Utah
ans play, if horse flesh could carry
him on his rounds fast enough.
He sailed out of town at the usual
hour. Residents along his route
saw a streak of something whisk
by and dissappear in the distance.
Some of them mistook it for a
streak of lightning; others for a
chunk off of a stray cyclone
Travelers met it in the road and
turned round to see if it wasn't an
escaping fugitive trom justice. IttChina shooting
chased up hill, a tarmer who saw
it pass says, and pirouetted down
hill like a sunbeam on the heels of
a summer shower. The rig rattled
and the team puffed, but there
was no stopping to take breath or
get wind. And when the referee's
whistle blew for the kickoff at three
o' clock,. Connor was right, there. .
FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. .
Arrested Tester day by Sherriff Burnett
A Washington Han Now in
Jail-
It is possible that the game of
football played on college held Wed
nesday will be the last in which the
first team will appear on the local
gridiron until the annual game
with the University of Oregon,
which transpires on Saturday Nov
ember 1 9th. A game was originally
scheduled with the Columbia Uni
versity eleven for the 5th of Nov
ember and another with Whitman
college of Walla Walla Washington
for the 10th. - Letters have been
received from the managers of both
teams asking to be released. The
Columbia manager writes that his
team, since its decisive defeat by
the Willamette University team
has practically gone to pieces, and
he adds that the eleven under the
circumstances would be so poor a
match for the OAC players that the
game would be uninteresting. The
Whitman manager, in a manly let
ter, sets forth the fact that several
ef the best men ou the team are
out of the game on account of
faculty regulations, and that this so
cripples the team that . it would
stand no 1 show even to make the
game interesting. He added how
ever, that, if tbe local management
desires the game to be played, his
men will come and take their medi
cine. Unless a game can be' made
that will provide for good gate re
ceipts. Coach Steckle prefers that
the vacant dates be not filled.
Milton Gable, ex-member of the
legislature in the state of Washing
ton, and ex-grain dealer of Wilbur,
Washington is in the Benton coun
ty jail, awaiting removal to Lincoln
county Washington for trial. He
was arresled by Sheriff Burnett at
the home of A. C. Stellmacher,
several miles north of Corvallis
yesterday morning. He is wanted
in Davenport, Washington, on a
charge' of embezzlement, and for
his arrest a reward of $100 is offer
ed. The man has been living for
some time at various farm homes
,in northern Benton, where he was
well known as M.G.Munn. When
taken in custody by Sheriff Burnett
he admitted that his name is Gable,
and made an explanation of the
circumstances thai led to the charge
against him. '
iGable, alias Munn, is a man of
55 years of age, and is a man - of
culture. He has a pleasant face
and evidently a man ot affairs be
fore he got into trouble. He .has
been in hiding since July, 1903,
when he skipped From Wilbur,
Washington, leaving his family be
hind. He came to Corvallis dur
ing the summer and was in town a
day or two. Before that he was
in Albany, in Salem and for a time
in Polk County. From Corvallis
he went into the northern portion
of Bnton, where he worked as a
carpenter for a time on a new house
built by one of the Dodele Brothers.
Two or three days ago, Sheriff
Burnett received a number of circu
lars, containing a description of
Gable. . As is his custom, the
sheriff sent a copy of the circular to
persons in various . parts of the
county. A telephone message from
Wells announced that a man ans
wering the description of the party
was at the Stellmacher home.
Jt was yesterday morning when
Sheriff Burnett knocked at the
Stellmacher door. He was array
ed in a hunting suit as though
"Come m,"
said a voice, and as Mrs. Stell
macher opened the door, his eyes.
fell on the man he wanted. ""Are
you Mr. Gable?" inquired the sher
iff. "No; my name is Munn an
swered the stranger. "Well, I am
the sheriff of Benton county, and
I want you.' .was the reply. Munn
asked :., permission to . change . his
clothes, and it was granted. On
the ' way to town, he admitted his
guilt. He was a gram dealer in
Wilbur, and in charge of a ware
house. As a result of operations
he discovered that- the stock of
wheat in the warehouse was not
sufficient for outstanding receipts.
He mortgaged everything he had
and purchased a .carload of wheat
to apply on the deficiency. It was
not nearly enough, and seeing that
trouble was ahead, he left the coun
try. That was in July 1903. and
ever since, Mr. Gable has been is
olated from his family, and a ref
ugee from home. He has waived
his right to demand extradition
papers, and the sheriff, at (Daven
port has been wired to come "for
him. . ; n
