in Marmon cars this week, according
to F. W. Vogler, president of the
Northwest Auto company, local dis
tributors, the week having been set
aside throughout the country by Mar
mon dealers for special demonstra
tions. The Northwest Auto company has
in service three Marmon demon
strators, he announced, and the com
pany has issued a general invitation
to all persons, whether prospective
purchasers of a car or curiosity seek
ers only, to ride in the car and check
its performance.
At the start of a ride the passenger
is furnished with a score card and
asked to check off the performance
of the car on the following points:
Base of Riding, acceleration, decelera
tion, slow speed operation in high
gear, high speed operation, ease of
steering, convenience of controls,
economy, weight, smoothness of motor
operation, rigidity, road ability. All
the demonstrators start from the
company headquarters at Eighteenth
and Alder streets.
MeMTVKVILLE. Or.. Oct. 2S. (Spe
cial.) Three McMinnville college girls
occupying a lower room of a resi
dence on the campus used as a girls'
dormitory owe a fortuosite escape to
the chance awakening of one of the'r
number. Miss Marie Krickson. who
discovered a man standing in their
room at 3 A. 11. this morning, while
the stupefying odor of chloroform or
ether rose from the snaked blankets
and pillows of the beds upon which
the girls were sleeping.
When the shouts of the young
woman drove the man from the room,
ehe aroused her companions, Dorothy
Relchert, Spokane, and Elizabeth
Vaughn, Boise, Idaho, from the half
stupor into which they bad fallen.
All three fled in their night clothes,
making their exit through a window
opening onto the front porch and
roused the occupants of two nearby
dwellings. Six other girls in the up
stairs rooms of the house, Ola Davis.
Twin Falls, Idaho; Eileen Itisley, Pa
louse. Wash.; Cecil Graham. Portland;
Iorothy Copley, Salem; Bertha Pent
cey. Itoseburg; and Gray Light,
Cloverdale, were not aroused.
Search Proves Fruitless.
Men students living in the C. C.
Gowen arid Villa Davis residences
rushed to the house, but the man had
disappeared in the brush and trees
close to the house, which extend for
some distance along the edge of the
ccn-pus. A car was heard to start on
the highway a short distance west of
the college about the time the men
students reached the house. The car
could be heard distinctly as it trav
eled northward on the Sheridan road
and entered the city of McMinnville.
Search of the house revealed only a
lev." muddy tracks, an open bathroom
window, and a broken bottle beneath
the window. Jewelry lying on the
dresser in front of which the man was
standing when discovered had not
been touched and no articles about the
house were missed. No explanation is
offered for the. action of the man. He
was described by three of the girls
who had seen him as small in stature
dressed in baggy clothes of light
color and wearing a cap pulled tightly
over his face. His nose, one said,
was exceedingly prominent.
I awoke with a strange feeling of
presentiment. said Miss Erickson,
teacher in the preparatory department
of the collece. who is in charee of the
touse used as a dormitory by herself
"and the eight college girls, "and when
half-aroused saw a figure standing in
the room a few feet from the beds. At
first I thought it was one of the girls
who had entered the room, but. as I
became more fully awakened 1 saw it
was a man.
" 'Get out," I shouted, but at first he
made no move. I shouted again and
he edged silently to the door, slipped
through and disappeared."
The discovery of the man In the
room was the third in a series of
alarms in the dormitory, all occurring
last night. Early in the evening the
report that a man had been lurking
around the house caused a flurry
among the girls. About 11 o'clock
Ola Davis and Eileen Risley decided
to take advantage of the nervous ten
sion of the occupants and startle the
trirls in the bedroom below by swing
ing a shoe against the window. As
they cautiously peered out they dis
covered a man . standing diretly in
front of the window below them, look
ing into the lighted room, which was
not protected by blinds.
'Peeper" Beats Retreat.
"Beat it!" cried Miss Davis sharply,
and the peeper passed hastily around
the corner of the house, taking refuge
for an instant in a small screened
porch. Occupants in the room below,
who had been unaware of his presence
at the window, distinctly heard him
as he stumbled over a cot on the
porch. Boys summoned from nearby
houses made a thorough search of the
Erounds, but found no one. The girls
rotired highly excited, and Miss Erick
son moved her bed in with Miss
Iteichert and Miss Vaughn, who occu
pied the lower chamber, into which
the man had been looking.
Excitement on the campus and
among the townspeople who had
heard of the scare was intense
throughout the morning. Arrange
ments are being made for the girls
who had roomed in. the house to move
Into residences with private fam
ilies for the present, and there is
little probability that any will oc
cupy the house again unless bet
ter protection Is afforded. The house
jsits back among the trees on the
northeast corner of the campus and is
secluded, although 'less than half a
Mock from other residences. No men
or older people have resided in the
building this year.
