WHAT A COY DID.
The following from the Toledo Leader
is about a former Albany boy, the son of
Henry Crowded, The story is almost
equal to some in story books :
A boy less than fifteen years old was
tned and convicted in this term of court.
The yonthful burglar was from Ya
quina and the circumstances as related to
us are about as follows : T. W. Gorman,
one of the merchants of Yaqvina, had
been mussing small sums ot money from
the money till ia his sioie. H finally
contrived a plan top the thefts and to
catch the thief. Last Thursday night
Salkm, Or., Feb. 1, 1S97, 3 :!4 p. ra.
The house took np routine work this af
ternoon with no change in the program. J ji r Gorman and one of his sons secreted
I themselves in the store and watched for
the appearance of the thief or thieves.

TuiKEssu, Jan. 30, 1S97.
Frank Skipworth of Lebanon, was vis
iting in this vicinity last week.
The literary last Saturday eve was at
tended by a large and attentive audi
ence. The election of officers was the
main event of the evening. The society
by their choice disposed of the by-laws
s used by former presidents and will
hereafter be governed by the Black-laws.
After the balloting. President O. D. Mo
Knight, announced the result as follows:
President, James Blacklaw ; vice oreei
dent, Annie Blaeklaw; secretary, Bert
Blacklaw; Sergeant-at-arms "Wm.J."
Blacklaw; critic. Blanchs Simonds.
We do not see why Misa Simoad a
name should not be changed to Black
law as we desire to be governed by law
if it is only Blacklaw. Strange to cay
the first fonr named officials are from
Lincoln, Keb., Bryan's home. We think
the literary will prosper as never before
under the Blacklaw administration.
After the election the debate was dis
crseed at little length by both sides and
was won by Jas. Blacklaw, leade r of the
affirmative. Question: "Praise of Co
Iambus and Washington." The literary
is a great source of learning as -ell as
pleasure.
Miss Annie Blacklaw closed a success
ful term ot school hero last Friday with
a debate by the scholars. Bert Black
lawandTbos. McKnight, leaders, the
latter winning. Miss Blacklaw ia de- i
serving of much praise f.r the upbuild
of the neighborhood. We now have a
fine school bouse organ which is mainly
to her credit. By her skill and prompt
ness ehe has made every social and en
tertainment a success in every particular.
She is a resident of this place, has taught
ix ainerent successful terms ot school
here, and will teach tne spring term, at
wnicn time she will possess a state d
ploma. .

The families of J. B Davis and George

Mr. Charley gnyder and sister of In

borhood last week.
Any one having carpet to weave will

Joe Talt.of Albany, was a visitor at G.
L. Thompson's last feunday.
The String Town Literary is in full
blast. Good programs and a crowded
boose every Saturday night. The ques
tion for next Saturday night is : Nature
does more in Bailing Character than Ed
ucation. The logging firm of Holt & Metoger
finished tneir work on the Island last
Friday. They talk of moving (heir camp
np near Corvallis.
In returning from visiting his best girl

fortune to break down his baggy. At

and another eon, Frank closed op the
store at the usual time and in the usual
mauner, leaving the watchers secreted
therein. The watchers did not have
long to wait, for in lets than half an hour
a noise was heard at the lront of the
store, and in an incredibly short time a
noise Vas heard at a trap door in the tear
of the building and a figure appeared
through the door and made straight for
the money till. Quickly opening the
money drawer both hands were thrust
into the contents thereof, bnt before be
could transfer the contents of the nioner
till to his pockets Mr. Gorman who bd
been concealed near the money till.
turned the licht of a bull's eye upon him.
aud emphasizing the order with a loaded
revolver, told him not to take all ot it.
To say that the purloiner was surprised
is putting it mild ; he was paralyzed, but
his astonishment was not much greater
than was Mr. Gorman's when the Hash
of a ball's eye lantern revealed the iden
tity of the person at the money tili, for
it was George Crowder, ft boy not quite
15 years old, ami one that he did not at
all expect to see. The hoy was so sur
prised that ha stood like one petrified un
til Constable Watkina was summoned
and took him into custody.!.
It seems almCst impoi&iblo for a per
son to enter the building by the way of
the trap door. The opening is only
about ten by sixteen i aches in eiie. The
building sets on piling nd when work
ing the trap door open he m it have held
himsvlf up by a beam, and to rai.i the
door with a weight on it mist have re
quired both nerve and strength.
That the boy had an accomplice is be
yond a doubt, as some one was beard to
run away when the light was flashed on
the culprit in the store, but who he wa,
and whether it was man or boy is not
known. The boy could not be induced to
divulge the name of Lis accomplice and
the result is, that for the preentat least,
that person rill escape deserved punish
ment. The boy's father is in California, where
he went pome time ago to secure work.
The mother, who lives at Y'aquina, was
heart-broken over the teiribie affa:r itto
which her sen bad strayed, and she ia
universally sympathized with.
The boy was taken to the reform school
for a year.

bia farm and created quite an excite
ment and on beoring that I was from
Baker City, (which ia equal to being a
mining expert here) asked me to ex
amine and make a report before he com
menced to tear up tne earth. I rat on
some high top boot, a canvas coat and
got a gold pan, . etc., to show them as
near aa possible what a real live expert
looked like, examined and reported the
mine -a follows: 90 per cent gravel and
10 per cent common old mud."
