AFTER A LUNATIC
That -Wasn't Lony Corvallis Officers
and Tneir Midday Raid.
They were playing that one of
them was a crazy and that .the
others were a posse trying to. cap
ture him. They were all boys, but
some of them were big enough ;n
stature to be.men. - That accounts
for what happened as a result of
the play. The lunatic in a slouch
hat and tattered garments ' played
his part for all there was in it. He
gesticulated, jabbered and looked
wild of eye. He feigned so well
that a passing college professor
was fooled.- " The latter took it to
be a case of the real thing and hur
ried home to telephone to the sher
iffs office that a crazy man was
loose up on the commons south of
the; college and that a posse was
after him. " . ,
At the sheriffs office, Deputy
Wlls got into a bold, stern look,
and after phoning the chief of police
to meet him at a certain comer,
sallied forth to catch the lunatic.
Indue ft me the officers met, but
after that Wells traveled so fast in
the. effort to cage4 the crazy ican
that the Chief couidn't keep up
and the r under sheriff was alone
when he reached the- tribe.
"Where's that crazy man?" in
quired . the deputy between gasps
for breath, after his great haste.

prised glances at him for a second
and then fourteen faces broke out
into as many" well defined grins.
; "Say, musn't say a blamed word
about this," the two officers said to
each other as they walked back to
town.. "No; not a word". Neith
er did they, but the lunatic asylum
couldn't wait till it got to town to
tell it. ,

' There was a fire alarm Thurs
day morning, ana tnereto nangs a
ale. It was an incendiary fire,
pure ana simple, une torca- was
applied to the woodshed that Stands
thirty or forty feet in the rear of
jewelry store. .Three
bottles of coal oil were used in the
-ffprt.t stariv.vtbe anfigissiipri.
The bottles were found afterward
and they leave no . doubt tbat it
was an incendiary's hand that ap
plied the match.' . '
All the details of the affair are
full of the. peculiar. Tbe effort
was to burnthe wood ,ia the shed,
whereiu the case was identical with
the Bryson fire. This is one pf the
things that causes talk, and more
or less wonderment why the fire
was set if only the destruction of
wood is desired. Such was the
plan at G-reffoz and Bryson' s, and
in each case coal oil was used.
Another curious thing at Gref
foz is that the match was lighted
at naif past Eixl or twenty - minutes
o seven in - the morning. That
was. a queer time to start a fire.
There had evidently been a watch
and await until the nightwatch had
gone to bed. All in all, there are
streaks of qucerdom all through
the incident; and a lot of mystery
besides.- Who is it that 1 wants to
burn woodsheds? . What do they
want to burn them for, anyway ?
The Greffoz blaze was discovered
and put out by R. F. Tatty, the
baker, Mr. Lowe, the ' telephone
man, and others who happened to
be in the Vicinity.- -
