There is general comment
among Corvallisites relative to the
amount of building that is still go
ing on in the city, despite the fact
that the season for such work . is
practically past for this year. . A
local contractor, in summing up the
situation this week, named eight
residences that are yet under con
struction about town; while addi
tions and other improvements are
so numerous that to enumerate
them would be "well nigh" impos
sible. -. ; ' - '
In Philomath College : a week
from tomorrow, Bishop Castle is to
preach the funeral sermon of the
late Mrs. Jacob Henkle. The oc
casion will be one of wide interest
; in the vicinity . The deceased was
an oldtime and widely known wom
an in the community, On her
death bed she requested that Bishop
Castle perform this last service.
The speaker will be worthy of the
event. He has been 28 years a
bishop in the United Brethren
church. He is the ranking bishop
in that church, and he is withal a
powerful, profound and eloquent
pulpiteer. : " ' ." '

" FIRED AT BURGLAR.
Wki'e Latter Robbed ' Saloon Ballet
Fonad its Mark.
While in the act - of burglarizing
the Wuestefelt saloon in the early
hours of Thursday morning, a
sneak thief as discovered and
fired at by Officer Osburn. - Bloody
marks in the path of his flight in
dicate that the thief was hit, but he
made bis escape, and is ' now in
hiding, f ;The belief is general that
he has a severe if '. not a " 'serious
wound, and the fact is relied .upon
to drive the fugitive- out of cover
through need for medical assistance
or other aid. Several facts con
spire to convince the police that
they know the identity of the man,
and they are engaged in an active
search for him with much hope of
effecting a capture. Besides the at
tempted burglary and its prompt ; d di
also entered and ransacked the
pubi c school buildings, and paid, a
visit to the rooms of Charles Sheno.
field in the Occidental Hotel,
where a revolver was stolen.
The shooting at the Wuestefelt
saloon happened at about quarter
past two o'clock Thursday morning.
At the moment, the burglar was on
his haunches behind the conuter
and in the act of rummaging among
the contents of a low cupboard
built beneath the shelving along the
south wall. Officer Osburn was at
the front window about fifteen feet
from where the burglar was crouch
ed. A tiny round hole in the win
dow pane shows where the bullet
from the officers weapon started on
its flight and another in a glass

though turned .slightly sidewise,
and presented a fair mark for a bul

work and the report of the revolver
at the window, must have been the

doubtless the cat, but the officer,
suspected it to be another man, It
was impossible now to see - longer
through the window into : which
the weapon had been discharged.
The smoke from the gun obscured
the interior completely from view.
Osburn however, clung for several
seconds to the iron grating in . the
effort to observe further develop
ments, and then ran to- the north
window. Nothing .could be- seen
from there, and he endeavored to.
burst in the front door. 7" Several
attempts were made, but 'the fasten
ings refused to yield. Then the
officer ran to the' telephone offices
next door and requested the opera
tor to notify Wuestefelt and Chief
Lane of what had . occurred, and
hastening around the block, he en
tered the alley in the rear. . Here,
he knew however, that escape
could be made in many direction

NOISES WITHIN.
On account of the lateness of the
hour, the streets were deserted.
The saloons had all closed at mid
night, and no one save the night
officer, had been, alstir ince , that
hour. As is the case ' in ' several
business establishments, an electric
light burns all night in the Wues
tefelt saloon. It is the habit of Of
ficer Osburn in his rounds at night
to take a look into every place as
he passes. A Harper whiskey sign
in the window at Wuestefelt's made
it necessary to step up on ' the iron
foot plate below the window in or ;
der to get a full view of the interior
In order to do this the officer had
to seize hold of the iron grating in
front of the window, and it was
while standing in this uneasy po
sition that his shot was delivered.
., A noise from within, assisted the
officer, in detecting the presence of
his quarry. At first it seemed to
be on the. south side, and then at
the hbrth side. It gave the impres
sion that there were two men or
more in the room, and caused the
officer to look in at : both windows.
It has since ' developed' ..that there
was a cat in the room, and the lat
ter is supposed to have ' been res
ponsible for the second disturb

Newton Adams had his innings !
in the way of good fortune this
week. Mr. Adams is a student of
the Scranton International Corres-;
pondence school, taking the course
of architectural drawing. The
territory west of the Willamette
river is under the supervision of N.
W. Kelloway, with headquarters in
Portland, Each month a $25 prize
is offered to the sunjent who makes
the closest guess as to the number
of examination papers that are
corrected from his section, by the
coirespondence school. The only
condition was, that the guess
must be accompanied by the name
of a new student, secured by the
guesser. Mr. Adams sent in the
name ot a new pupil and accom
panied it by a guess as to the num
ber of examination" papers sent in
from this district. His estimate
was 599S9, and the correct number
was 5SS58. His estimate being the
nearest, Mr. Adams will receive
, - 4t. - . .
25 worm 01 oooks, comprising a i
concise encyclopedia of the course
of the Scranton school. The work
The . thief ' gained , entrance
through a window in the rear of
the building. At first he tried the
transom over the west door, and
there he succeeded in tearing away
a portion of the wire netting back
of the transom, but eventually he
gave up entrance at that point as too
dimcult. - Then he turned his at
tention to the window, which he
approached on low sheds in the
rear. He used a chisel taken from
the public school building earlier
in the evening. , The tool has since
been identified as his own by Mr.
Hotchkiss, janitor of the public
school, and has been restored to
him. With it, the thief pried up
the window with such force as to
tear out the screws of the fastening
at the top of the sash, and thereaf
ter entrance was easy. His ap
proach to the window wa possible
from several directions over the
low sheds, and his escape in any of
these directions fully as easy. It
was on this account, that Officer
Osburo, familiar with the situation
as a result of investigation of a
former burglary in the adjoining
Huston establishment, determined
to attack with his weapon from the
front. When he fired, the burglar
seemed to drop, and for a second
there was a shuffling noise. Then
all was still, and the impression
I gained that the shot had been fa
tal.
THEF GOT AWAY.
Then there was a noise on the
back yard of the Greffoz jewelry
store, so after, an ineffectual search
for a lew minutes., he hurried to thfe
-Independent telephone office for ;
second summons for assistance.
Chief Lane, and Mr.. Wuestefelt
soon arrived, and the rest of the
morning was spent in a fruitless
search for the fugitive. ' The de
parting early trains were all visited
but no suspicious passeng
ers were among those that left. " 1
; , .t BLOOD, WAS FOCNI. i . ...J
- it isfcertain that the burglar was
hit. ! It is believed that the wound
is severe. Many blood marks were
found at the window ; through,
which he passed after the shooting.
The bullet holes in ' the ', window
pane3 give the exact course 'the
ball took. With this as a basis, the
direction shows the body of, the
irouching burglar to have been;
within exact range! It also shows.
where the bullet would have struck
the floor had its passage not, been
obstructed. ,No mark of the bullet
is anywhere to be found in the floor
or elsewhere, and it is the belief of
omcers that the burglar has it ,m
his body. The weapon used was a
38-calibre. It is the same weapon
that James Dunn used in tnetragr
edy on the streets of Corvallis last
April. ; .
r , THEY KNOW HIM,
The police iff e convinced that
they know the identity, of the
wounded burglar. Officer ' Osburn j
got a " partial ; view of his face J
There was a mustache, light in col-
or and hot very heavy. 'There was'
considerable growth of beard that'
gave the lower face a -dirty appear-4
ance. The man was in the saloon
Wednesday afternoon and evening.
He. was : nowhere to be found the
morning after the shooting. '..He
has not since been seen. He is a
man with a bad. reputation, who
has had trouble in several places
during the 25 or 26 years that he
has lived. : In the main," he is a
tramp, though at times he has been
known to work for a livelihood.
It is not believed that he is far
away, and the officers have strong
nopes of effecting a captwre.
THE OTHER ROBBERIES.
In the Occidental robbery, it is
supposed that the same thief figur
ed. The place .was entered be
tween nine and ten o'clock in the
evening, The thief had a feast on
canned fruit, oysters and other
edibles, and then took a revolver
and box of cartridges from the
room of Charles ' Shenofield, the
only occupant of the place. At the
school house, the thief attempted
to gain entrance hy climbing the
tin eaves-trough, but it broke and
let him fall. Then he went to the
old building which he entered, and
there after breaking a few locks
and unlocking others, he found
the chisel in a closet, and with it
effected his entrance to the saloon.
The only booty that he is known
to have secured is the revolver and
shells, a Canadian .shilling taken
from the till at the saloon, and a
nickel taken from a child's purse
at the school building. The purse
had been found by the janitor, and
as yet no owner had claimed it.
It contained only the nickel.
