. - Gorvallis Times. Official Payer of Bentoa Gnaty. JOBVAIXZB OBUOX, DEC 31, 190-1. ARRESTED - MCHURRAY. Thirty-Seven Finger Rings Found on Him The Wuestfelt Burglary. Chief Lane received advice Wed nesday of the arrest in Portland of McMurray, the man who was sus pected of robbing the Wuestfelt sa loon, some time ago. The Portland officers found on McMurray' s per son no evidence of a recent wound, such as should have appeared if the prisoner had been the man whom Officer Osburn shot through a front window while the thief crouched be hind the saloon counter in search of booty. They found, however, a revolver, which for a time was sus pected to have been the one stolen from Charley Shenofield's room - at the Occidental, but investigation elicited the fact that it was not the Shenofield weapon. In the absence of any means of fastening the bur glary on McMurray, the local au thorities, after consultation with Deputy Attorney Bryson determin ed not to bring McMurray to Cor vallis for a prosecution which ; for lack of convicting evidence must have resulted in an outlay of cost with no chance of conviction, and the Portland officers were so in formed. When arrested, McMurray hadon his person. 37 finger rings of vari ous descriptions, a number: of silk handkerchief's, mufflers and other articles, all of which had undoubt edly been stolen. In view of 'the developments it is likely that the identity of the midnight burglar at the Wuestfelt saloon will remain one of the unsolved mysteries of the town's history. His Dream.

In "Nettie, the News -Girl," which comes to the Opera House January 6th. Lem B. Parker has written what critics, managers and the public have unanimously pro nounced a great character play. That it will receive a welcome com mensurate with its promise is known ahead from the demand for seats, which has broken all previous records, for the first local presenta tion of so widely heralded a play as "Nettie, the News Girl."

AT MIDNIGHT. Old Tear Goes out and Town Goes Dry Saloons Preparing for ,. -Change. - At midnight, this Saturday night the IOcal Option law goes into ef fect. Just at the moment that the old year dies, the doors of the four Corvallis saloons will swing to for the last time at least for the present, and a dry town will be ushered in. The next day will be Sunday, and for a long time now it has been usual for Corvallis to be dry on Sundays. Ordinarily therefore, from midnight tonight, until five o'clock Monday morning, the sa loons would be closed anyway, and during that period, the new order of things will not be in evidence, . But at five o'clock Monday morn ing it will be then that the old soaker will feel a goneness. -. No friendly bar will be open for the early morning drinks that are wont to make breakfast taste better. No cosy room will be open all day to shelter him from the winds of -winter, and where he can , respond so gracefully and willingly to the in vite of the free-handed chap that calls everybody up for a drink. For him indeed, it will be a great change, an unwelcome change after five o'clock Monday morning. Cor vallis wont look so bright under the sun of the new year as it would were the old "order of wet yet ' in vogue. And there are others be sides the old soak to whbm the new condition will be unwelcome. Apparently, no effort is to be made by saloon men in Corvallis to resist the law. Were resistance to appear, it would probably be mani fested Monday morning by some saloon opening its doors as usual. The proprietor would of course, be promptly arrested and taken before a justice of peace. The latter ofn- cer is given the powers ot a cir cuit judge in administering the Io- cal Uption law. ine prisoner would in all probability be prompt ly fined $ 50 to $100. He could al so be imprisoned, it , that,; were not enough and he should continue to keep his place open, subsequent arrests and heavier fines could be imposed, along " with incarceration until it would get to be an expen sive and most unpleasant business. There might be an appeal to other courts, but it is the .general opinion of lawyers' everywhere that the law is sound. - Two noted attorneys of the state are said . to have framed the law, and opinion, is general that they" did their work so effect ively that there is no chance to break down the law in the courts. Accordingly, local saloonmen are preparing, it is said, to go out of business. None of them have been ordering supplies of wet goods since the late election.' . Before that they had largely reduced then stocks. Some of them ran out of some lines of beverages several days ago. Most of them expect to be practically sold out of business by 12 o'clock tonight. ' - . A chance upon which some of the liquor dealers may put reliance is the legislature. Talk is that thei solons when they get together at ! Salem might do something to upset the Local Option plans. . It is pro bable that, pending the session, some of the local dealers will hold themselves in position where they could re-enter the business in case of friendly action by the legislature. None of them have so declared, but that is believed to be the pur pose in more than one instance. If the legislature adjourns without action the last chance for resump tion of wet conditions would be cut off for a couple of years. It is the general belief that there will be no studied attempt at a sur reptitious dealing in intoxicants in Corvallis. Many of those who op posed the law take . the view that the. best way. to get rid of it is to enforce it strictly. A large con tingent of antiQptionists will there fore join with the optionists in in sisting upon a thoroughly dry town. Besides there is in Corvallis a large element of people who believe from principle that a law adopted by the people themselves by a popular vote is entitled to complete respect and its requirements should be held sacred by all good citizens. All this makes strong public sentiment that will bode no good to any who should attempt to conduct an il licit enterprise in intoxicants :.' "Nettie tie News GirL" : The above melodrama will be seen at the Opera House, - Jan. 6. The story of the play is said to be decidedly away from the conven tional, and one that will please all classes. - The play is such that it gives ample opportunity for a dis play of stage craft and the result is some of the most novel effects. The scene on the East Side, almost un der the Brooklyn Bridge and the practical working of the boats are particularly effective. -.- : ANOTHER GONE.
