r;orvallis sTimes. Official Paper of Benton County. CORVALLIS, OR, MAY J3, 1905. NOT GUILTY. So Said the Jury in the Gambling Case 1 All Defendants Acquitted. 'Not guilty" was the verdict of . the jury in the gambling case, tried, in; the police court Thursday after noon and evening:, and in whicn a W. Strong, Jesse Brown and Mike Kline were on trial for playing draw Doker. The iurv on first ballot stood three for conviction; three lor acquittal. The jurors ' were, S. X,. Henderson, Grover Hedrick, Richard 3raham, Charles Heckart, Alex Rennie, and George Henkle. It took nearly an hour and a half for one side to surrender but at the end of that time the last ot those in favor of finding the 'de fendants guilty went over to those favoring ncquittal, and a verdict of not guilty was brought into court. The case occupied all the afternoon and it was nearly n o'clock when the verdict was returned. The trial was in the council chamber, and from beginning to the end standing- room was at a premium, much of the time the crowd extending out through the open door into the cor ridor. The case was the result ol a raid made by Chief Lane and Officer Osburn two weeks ago. The de fendants were in the office at the Corvallis sawmill with the blinds ' down and doors locked. In his testimony Chief Lane swore that when the officers entered the room the players were ranged around the - table, that there were poker chips ? in front of each, that each held" - cards in his hand, and that three dollars in money was in front of Mr. Strong on the table. Officer Osburn testified to the same effect, - declaring that the men were, from the lay of the chips and the numb er of cards each held, playing poker. It also appeared in evidence that the cards used in the play were marked, a certain number of pig- ( eons on the back of each, so placed that they were only noticeable to one apprised of the fact, indicating - the denomination ol each card. The plea of the defense was that while they had gone to the place to i pkw.poker, the regulation game for monejrna'd notyet begun-" Te$r . testified that they were waiting for George Brown, and that while they waited they were simply playing a social game. Jb,acn ol the delend ants testified ifi his own behalf. Ladies Missionary Society. A delightful missionary tea was given at the home of Mrs. Green Wednesday afternoon.

Lane. bound to Halifax: - With a Bear That Rides a Tricycle Things Aboutpthe Grcos." . How a small enterprise will grow and flourish under favorable con ditions was illustrated in the visit this week of the Njorris & Rowe circus. A few yearS ago the con cern was only a dog show. It was it is true, a good dog show, for that seemed always to be the motto of the people; who have man aged it. Now, the enterprise is a three-ringed circus, - with three, four and sometimes five acts in progress at once, and with a per formance and peirormers as good as far as can be judged by a novice as the performers in' the bigger, more pretentiousand higher-priced shows. At the same tittle, the original dog show, which ' has grown with years, and which has always hitherj:d been a part of the show, is now a separate institu tion, traveling on another circuit. The circus, which is a Pacific Coast affairjentirely, is programm ed for its first Eastern trip, having as its final and furthermost destin ation this summer, Halifax, 'Nova Scotia. It is the first trip to the far East, the itinerary hitherto hav ing been consfined to the region west of the Mississippi though ex tending last season as far south as the city of Mexico. The circus brought many peopie to town. There, was a big audi ence, both at the,,f"af ternoon and ev ening performance The parade cc? curred at 10:30 clock, and sail corvallis viewed ij. mere were several new. faces and new fiorms in the menagerie, aq every act; in the circus proper w,a3 a change from that of last year. A bear rode a tricycle about the platform, pedalling with all the: assurance of a small boy. and guiding the ma chine with his paws on the handle bars. V, He laid on his back 1 arid balanced a barrel in the air with his feet in the same way that" men do such thjngs. The trained ele phants did stunts to make the ob server almost feel that the big brutes seem possessed of human intelligence.- Tfyere was riding and more of it just, as when riding was the greatest feature of the cir cus, away back in those good old days when the present grayhaired men were boys.
