Stolen Money Returned.
OREGON CITY. Or., June 13. (Spe
cial. 1 Six hundred dollars that was
stolen at Oswego last Saturday night
by Thomas O'Connell from a saloon
keeper for whom O'Connell -was bar
keeper, was returned to the ownt-r yes
tarday by O'Connell. who is in Beaver
ton. Washington County. The saloon
keeper hid the money In a flourhtn and
O'Connell, taking advantage of his 'em
parade assignments made up as soon as
the Rose Fiesta is over. He is in con
sultation with Mr. Cannon of the Rose
Carnival regarding the reproduction of
any of the floats used on that occasion
that may be available, the idea being
that patriotic decorations b sub
stituted for floral effects on the more
notable pieces.
Among other suggestions made for
parade features from citizens is one
contained in the following letter re
ceived by Mr. Nicklin yesterday:
"F. r. Nicklin, Assistant Secretary,
"Dear Sir Some of the boys have
been speaking of having an ex-cow-punchers'
parade on the Fourth, along
with the other parades. I refer the
same to you that you may decide the
matter and have It brought about un
der the direction of the parade com
mittee. "As there are quite a number of ex
cowpunchers in the city from different
parts of the West and Southwest, I
think there could be quite a bunch
rounded up.
"Yours for a big crowd on the Fourth,
"AN EX-COWPUNCHER."
The suggestion was received by the
parade committee with great favor and
there is every probability that a
"bunch" of cowpunchers and rough
riders will appear in the parade in
"chaps." Colts 44's, ropes, burking
bronchos, yells, sombreros and all the
rest of the plains life represented with
the exception of "shooting up the
town."
So far as outlined there will be six
military aids and ten civic aids ap
pointed by the parade committee to as
sist the grand marshal and division
marshals in maneuvering the parade.
The subcommittee having In charge the
"comic section" for the evening of July
3 met at headquarters yesterday after
noon and elected John F. Shorey chair
man and William J. Hoffman secre
tary and L.. P. Bruce chief booster. It
i( the intention of this committee to so
licit from merchants and others who may
feel interested in the clown parade, prizes
for the very worst costume, the very
worst float and the very worst general
effect In the parade. .
STUDENTS IN NEW PLAY
Pacific University Scholars Will Pre
sent "The Bridge of the Gods."
There is every Indication that the
students of Pacific University will
score a big: success in "The Bridge of
the Gods," which they are to present
at the Hellig Theater tomorrow night.
The patronage will be drawn not only
from the former students and friends
of the school, but also from the gen
eral public, as the play promises to
be of great interest. Pacific University
will entertain as its guests at the play
this year's graduating classes of the
High School, St. Helen's Hall, Portland
Academy and the Allen Preparatory
School.
"The Bridge of the Gods," as written
by Balch, is good material for the play
wright and it la strange that Its pro
duction on the stage was never under
taken before. As portraying the life
and customs of the Indians who ruled
supreme in the Pacific Northwest up
to the coming of white men, this story
is without an equal. While the plot
hinges on the fall of the Willamette
tribe, prominence is given to the court
ship of a white explorer to the
daughter of Chief Multnomah.
Professor Orr. who had charge of the
dramatization of the novel and of the
preparations for staging it. has had
long experience as a dramatic coach.
