PUT TAR ON ROLLERS
Corvallis Citizens'1 ' Rough
Treatment of 1 Apostles."
SCARES ONE INTO MARRIAGE
Creffield, After Removing as -Many
Feathers as Possible, Accompanies
MIbs Hurt to Albany, Where
a Justice Makes Them One.
CORVALLIS; Or., Jan. 5. (Special)
Joshua Creffleld and Charles Broo"ks. ineH
two religious fanatics, who lead the Holy (
Hollers in the recent -spasmodic outbreak
of religious enthusiasm ..in which house
bold articles were burned and cats and
dogs destroyed, were taken from their j
lodgings on the east bank ! the-Wll-
lamette at a late hour last night, and
plastered with tar and feathers.
About 2d men engaged in the affair,
and, according to the best obtainable ac- J
counts, they are all Corvallis citizens, and
men of respectability and standing. They,
were not disguisedvand made little- or -no
attempt at secrecy. They crossed the
ferry to the Linn County side and sur
rounded the Holy Roller house, 200 yards
beyond the river. "With .all ways of
escape cuVoTfibW 'bFIIve- -stalwart-men: ;
approached the front door, which they
burst in after a loud knock.
They took the .two apostles from among
eight or ten .other members of the sect
In the room, -and; after re crossing the
ferry, conducted them, to a bridge north1
of the Corvallia sawmill, .a quarter of -a
mile north of the city limits,' where ihi
tar and feathers were applied. .
The clothing was then put back on the
shivering apostles, and they were or
dered to leave the community and not re
turn, on pain of a worse treatment.
Both men hastened to obey, and hurried
away on a run. going north along the
Albany road. ,
A sensational sequel to the affair was
the subsequent return during the night
of Creffleld to the Holy Roller head
quarters, and his marriage at Albany
this morning to Miss Maud Hurt, one of
the leading disciples of the sect, and
a young woum of beauty and high char
acter. ,
Though the whitecappers made no at
tempt at secrecy, but little was known
of the occurrence until late this fore
noon. In the main, there Is but little
condemnation of the proceeding, due to
the lack of sympathy for the Holy Roller
movement In the community, anf to the
fact that one or more of the female
members of the sect haye become nex.t to
insane by reason of their pursuit of the
Holy Roller system of worship.
It Js understood that several of those
who took part in the affair have suffered
more or Jess in the family circle on ac
count of the effect the new faith has had
on members of the household or upon
relatives.
For some time before the party went to.
the Beach house, which has become tho
headquarters of the sect since Mr. Hurt
sent, them away from his house, they
were congregated" In Uttlo groups about
Main street. In the same way they went
to the ferry and crossed, serving notice
on tho ferryman that they would be back
in a few minutes., and adding, laconically,
that there would be others In ttie"party
on tb return. At the house they cut
off all avenues of escape "ana then broke
in the door.. Present hi. the room were
Brooks and Creffleld, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Hurt,. Mrs. Hurt's sister. Miss Maud
Hurt, the Seeley sisters, Miss Brey and
others. All were seated about the room,
some on chairs and others on the floor.
Some, If not all, were barefooted.
After the door was burst In tho. Rollers
made no resistance. It is now known
that they bad long expected .that such
an occurrence might happen at Any time,
and they wore apparently not surprised.
One of the members at the house when
interviewed this morning said:
"They killed Christ, killed the apostles
and stoned th.6 disciples to death, and wo
expect them to do anything with us."
She added:
"It Is either Heaven or hell, and I am
for Heaven."
"When ordered to do so; Brooks and
Creffleld stepped forward, and, after put
ting on their shoes and hats, were tied
togother and ordered to pass out. They
did as instructed, and with the captives
began, the march to the ferry- After
reaching the Corvallis side of the "Wil
lamette, they passed out onto Main
street, making no effort to avoid tho
street lights or passersby, and proceeded
to tho bridge, a quarter of a mile north
of tho Corvallis mill. Halting there tho
men were ordered to remove their cloth
ing, and they promptly obeyed.
"Let us pray," said 'Creffleld, but a
gruff voice responded:
"Wo have had too much qf your kind
of prayers already," and without further
hesitation the trembling apostle removed
his clothing. Thrpughout. the -whole af
fair Brooks remained stoical, never utter
ing a word.
The 'moon shone bright and clear In the
eastern sky as the tar and feathers were
administered. The-silence was unbroken
save by tho movements of the men or an
occasional gruff order or Jocular' remark.
Surveying Creffleld earnestly after tho
feathers had been added to the coat of
tar on his body and head, one man re
marked: VWoIl, you would make a handsome
Santa Claus, now."
After, the tar and feathers, had been
Applied. tho apostles were required to put
on their clothes and were then ..ordered,
to leave and never return to the com
munity, and both left, running at full
speed In a northerly direction along the
Albany road.
Lator-in the .night Creffleld returned to
the Bedch house. It Is supposed that
Frank Hurt followed the whitecappers,
and tous. an "unseen witness to the cere
mony at the bridge, and that later he
overhauled tho men in their flight and
Jed Creffleld. if not Brooks also, back to
the headquarters. In any event, an hour
or so after tho incident. Hurt applied at a
local lrug store ;for a specific for the re
moval of tar. and secured It. using linseed
oil for the purpose.
This morning Hurt came over to town
and shortly afterward passed back over
the ferry to the Beach house in a livery
Tig. where-himself, his wife, his sister,
Maud Hurt, and Creffleld entered the
Carriage and we're driven to Albany,
where Creffleld and Miss Hurt were mar
ried, the ceremony being performed by
Judge Palmer.
Atthe Beach house this morning one of
the four or five young women there ad
mitted to the reporter that Creffleld had
come home covered with tar and feath
ers, and that he had encountered much
difficulty In removing them after arrival
home.
BrWegroom Smelt of Tar.
ALBANY, Or., Jan. 5. (Special.) Giv
ing off strongly from his person-the odor
of tar, and with his face and neck red
from excessive scouring. Apostle Creffield,
chief dignitary of the Holy Rollers of
Benton County fame, was In Albany to
day foF thi purpose of getting married,
and ' brought his bride-to-be with him.
At the Counts Clerk's office license to
marry was issued to F. E. Creffield and
Maude Hurt, both of Benton County. The
Witnesses were Frank Hurt and wife.
County Judge H. M. Palmer united the
couple, who, in company with the bride's
brother and wife, spent several hours
parading the principal .streets of Albsiy,
the cynosure of ail eyes.
Creffleld looked like -he was fa trouble,"
but was not very talkative. He said, they
would return to the Beech ranch on the
Unn County side of the river, near Cor
,vall!svand take up their residence.
Albany people were relieved to hear
that the apostle and bis followers had
no intention of locating in Albany.
MYSTERY ABOUT GALE'S DEATH
Two Women Mentioned Before the
' Coroner's Jury-No Money Taken.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or., Jan. 5. (Spe
cial.) A Coroner's Jury was impaneled
this anornlng to -investigate the cause of
the death of Fred Gale, wtjp was severely
o eaten me morning oi January i. The
Jury, after getting all possible evidence
and spending many hours in deliberation,
rendered a verdict that Gale came to his
death from injuries, received from a party
or .parties unknqwn.
TThere was a variety of evidende given
in. A woman was seen In Gale's room
about 2 o'clock New Year's night, and It
was supposed that the husband saw her
In 'there and as- a result went In and dealt
severely with Gale. Other evidence pointed
to a woman who has been following Gale
for. .years and conspired to take his life,
as bo positively refused to marry her.
Tina theory seemed hardly plausible, as
the woman la question has been absent
4rom here nearly two months.
The jury could get at nothing tangible
to show who was responsible for the
crime. Robbery, however, was not the"
motive and no money was taken, as pre
viously reported. Gale bad for the last
zew inonins Become aaaiciea to.anuK ana
was under the influenco of liquor a great
deal. He was a member of the Oddfel
lows arid. was burled by that. order this
afternoon.
-''The deceased wrs born in Minneapolis,
Kan., was. 44 years of age, was a harness
mak'er '6y trade, having located In Cottage
Grove about three years ago. He had
recently sold out," and after taking a trip
to California, returned to this place and
waspreparlng to open a cigar stand. He
was" a -cripple, having been thrown from a
horsS 'when young, receiving injuries to
the spine, from which he never recovered,
the lower limbs being paralyzed, necessi
tating his using an invalid's chair as a
means of moving about.
MARSHAL USED HIS CLUB.
Suspicious Character With Skeleton
Keys Then Left Grant's Pass.
GRANT'S PASS, Or., Jan. 5. (Special.)
A suspicious-looking character was seen
prowling around in the Loyton Hotel a
few nights ago. The Marshal wra noti
fied: of the fact and he and the night clerk
spent a half hour following the fellow,
who dodged Into a dark alley on every ap
proach. The Marshal finally overhauled the man
and landed -him In the cooler for tho re
mainder of the night, but In. the morning
he was liberated and told to depart, after
being relieved of a full set of skeleton keys
that he carried. He was seen on the
streets the next night and received a club
bing from the officer.
The man then decided to give Grant's
Pass a clear berth.
An attempt at burglary was made Sun
day evening at the store occupied jointly
by the Demaree Music House and Curtis
& Co.. Jewelers. The after portion of the
building Is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Cur
tis as a residence, of which fact the
would-be burglar was probably unaware.
The thief was frightened away before
securing anything.

ARMSTRONG ATTORN EY8 DALLY
Plan to Delay Case Beyond Time Set
t foe Hanging.
BAKER CITY, Or., Jan. 5.:-SpecIal.)
Judge Eakln approved the bill of excep
tions filed in the Armstrong murder case
today. The 30 days' time limit within
which the case can be taken to the Su
preme Court will expire on the 12th Inst.
The purpose seems to be to delay the
case in the Supreme Court as long as pos
sible, possibly to secure an order for a
stay of execution, which is set for Fri
day, January 22.
District Attorney White Is ready to
argue the matter on appeal at once and
It Is his purpose to do so. He will also
oppose any motion for' a stay of execu
tion. Only 17 days remain within which
the matter must tje finally determined or
a stay of execution secured. There Is
ample time for the Supreme Court to act
In the matter, provided the motion on
appeal Is heard at once.
The attorneys for the defense arc taking
some chapces in delaying the matter In
the Supreme Court until the last minute,
because the Supreme Court might render
a decision adverse to Armstrong just be
fore the day set for execution, which
would make it very difficult to secure the
issuance of a writ of habeas corpus from
the United States District Court in time
to stay the execution.
Up to the present time Armstrong has
not shown any signs of nervousness. Ap
parently he has faith In the ability of
Ills attorneys to stay the hand of lha
executioner. Sheriff Brown has made no
move towards preparing for the execution,
save to get everything In shape to proceed
promptly when, In his opinion, the fate
of the prisoner Is Inevitably sealed.

PILES
Cured Quickly and Without Pain.
There are pile remedies without num
ber, but there Is only one cure, and that
Is the Pyramid Pile Cure, which Is In .the
form o a suppository and l applied di
rectly to the seat of the trouble.
Any physician will tell you that for
the proper treatment of Piles nothing
can compare with a suppository, where
as the greater number of preparations
that are offered to you for the treatment
of this disease, are lotions, salves, and
ointments. Why? Because they aro not
so expensive as a suppository, which Is
bound to contain more costly Ingredi
ents,, and which requires special ma
chinery to make it; moreover, a sup
pository Inserted up the rectum comes
In direct contact with the cause of the
complaint, and no other form of treat
ment does so.
Wallace Cookman. Hallerton, . P. Q
Canada, writes: "I have had two surgl- ,
cal operations fon plies and they were,
not a success; after using three boxes
of Pyramid Pile Cure X feci as though
I never had piles, and they have afflict
ed me for twenty-five years."
B. H. Palmer, Windsor, Cal.t "After:
suffering from' piles for fifteen years and
trying different salves and ointments In
vain, I was completely cured by the use
of two fifty-cent packages of Pyramid
Pile Cure."
These and thousands of similar letters
go to show that piles can be cured,
are cured. Cured to stay cured. Cured
bo they won't come back. Cured with
out cutting. Cured without danger. Cured,
without pain. Cured without detention
from work. Cured without Indelicate ex
aminations. Cured in privacy of home.
Cured by self-applied treatment. Cured
with very little expense. Cured without
the dread and publicity of waiting your
turn at the surgeon's office. Cured with
out a dangerous surgical operation. Its
period of enforced invalidism, tedious
convalescence" and heavy expense. You
simply buy and apply a cheap and con
venient remedy. It doea the rest.
All druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure
at fifty cents a package, and we urge
all sufferers to write the Pyramid Drug
