BOB HINMAN'S STORY.
Sometime after Bob's escape froai jail
last October and tho officials failure
to recapture him, his attorney hero,
1 earning of his whereabouts, sent a man
from Roseburg to interview him and to
take a letter to him advising him to
como in and give hiinBelf up. This ho
concluded to da, telling the man from
Roseburg that ho would come in during
tho night on horseback as ho did not
want to tako tho cars at Riddlo for fear
some one there would try to arrest him
and he did not want them to have the
pleasuie of that ho wanted to give him
self up to the sheriff hero as ndvteed by
his attorney that it would be beet
him to do so.
So tho man from RoBeburg, who was
given five dollars by tho sheriff to go to
Hinman's home, not far from Riddlo,
and bring Hintnan in, performed his
miesion as to the delivery of tha message
to Hinman, who refused to come with
tho man from Roseburg, but agreed lo
como down to Roseburg duriDg tho
night. So tho messenger wired the
sheriff here of the arrangements with
Hinman and then took tho overland for
Roseburg, Upon receiving tho telegram
from the messenger at Riddle giving
notico of the arrangements with Hin
man stating that Hinman would be in
during the night, Sheriff . Agee's first
deputy and another man were sent out
to "Shady Point" about two miles south
of Roseburg and laid in wait for Hinman
wheu ho camo along. Here they lay
concealed"; and just a little after mid
night Hinman came along as be had
agreed to do. hen Ilinmau came up
to wheto tho deputy and his assistant
weie concealed, they sprang out and aS'
saved to latch Hinman's horse by tbe
bridle. This sudden sally from ambush
frightened Hinman's boras and ho
wheeled about, when Hinman put spurs
to his horse and made his escape, fol
lowed by a few random shots in the dark
from i he deputy and his man.
Tbns, through miimanagement all
round, Hinmau made his escape from
jail and escaped aleo from rearrest by
the officers blundering in their anxiety
to reap a little glory by arresting Hin
man, no matter how, instead of having
ta endure the chagrin of their failure to
recapture him. So, if they could pounce
upon Hinman while oil his way here to
surrender himself, and drag him in as
arrested oo tho public highway, it would
::ive tbe party making the arrest much
e:lat and ics'.ore somewhat the loss of
confidence in the 'sheriff bv reason of
Hinman's escape from jail.
But Hinman is now at large aud
doubtless will remain eo for time indefi
nite. The loregoing is, in substance,
Hinman's story of his case, and which
his Leen substantially corroborated by
later developments as the main facts
have leaked out by piecemeal here from
ttios-j who figured in the mat'er.
PATRIOTIC SONS OF THE WEST. I
Undoubtedly, no junior organization
over existed m una state mai uas au
vanced itself so much as the order in our
nativo town, known as tho Patriotic
Sons of the West. Its object aud im is
chiefly to train aud prepare young men
for usefulness that in timo it may be
heard iu an oral way among the people
of this country. It is a benefit, in a
moral way. und a promotion also to
physical culture. Being run on the
most economical plan possible, and at
tho same time with convience for com
fort. It, therefore, affords an easy trial
for admittance by anyone who complies
with tho requirements of character,
which consists of a good, orderly dispo
sition, willingness lor obedience, and
laudable ambition. Their iniation is
harmless and sociable in tho extreme,
so tnat ttie most sensitive person,
could not but feel pleased with himself,
and the order, when he realizes the wis
dom of pledging eternal friendship as
required by the organization. Tho
order was originlly organized with 14
members, and his Bince grown to about
25 members in tbe short time of about
three months. The dues are 25 cents
per month, payable in advance. The
initiation fee is 25 centd which goes as
monthly dues, Tho officers arc eight in
number, and installed every three
months. Its debates are pleasing and
relates to nothing that would arouse ill
feeling. Tho present "club house of the
order is 7situated Tone door north of the
court bouse in a Email two-story cottage
with ono room in each story Tho up
per "room is the meeting room of the
lodge, which; convenes every Saturday
evening. It is moderately furnished,
and boasts of four picturea'of tho United
State's greatest men of tho present day.
The 'lower room confatns a modest li
brary of choice books, which are at the
service of tho members of the order. In
addition lo this the apartment serves as
a banquet roo.n. At a recent 6opper
given in honor of th two foot ball t?ams
which had contested on tbe preceding
a'terjooa. It was the first banquet cf
the order, and, as may be supposed,
everyone enjoyed himself, and departed
feeling that he had passed a splendid
evening, lue age oi a person lor ad
mittance must not exceed 21, 'nor be
under 15. The present officers of the
order are as follows:
President, B. u. Wilcox; iti vice
president, J. C. Mullen ; 2nd vico presi

BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS.
h Schlninj Jk Companr
Eth Frahcltco
Roteburg, Or., Jan. 1, l'J7.
En pLUNUEALcn. I notice that some
papers in Oregon are advocatiDg tbe
passage of a Jaw providing for the issa
ing of bonds for road purposes. Now I
think this is just the tbiug, tho whole
country believes in issuing bonds, the
entire people of tho United States, with
out regard to sex, or previous condition
of servitude whether political cr other-
l wise are now yelling themselves hoarse
in praise ol the present democratic ad
ministration for being able to isaue a
few million dollars, worth of bonds.
There are no people on earth like oure,
to enjoy a good thing when it is in
reach. When this idea becomes the
law of tho land, won't we havo tho most
enjoyable time we have ever experi
enced in Oregon, for as soon as we get
the reads we can issuo moro bonds and
have all of our "good roads" properly
lighted by electric ligb's, then we can
use them both day and night. Since I
came to think about the matter, Mr.
Editor, J. would suggest that tho light
question, bo embodied in the bill with
tho building of tho roads. A few mil
lion dollars secured by eelling bonds
would iu i doubt give us a fair start at se-
ruring good roads. I know that some
mossbac ks will kick about the matter,
but they heed not, for we surely waut to
leave be hind us something by which
posterity will lemuinber us, and I know
of no way of doing this so surely as by
leavimr 31 few million dollars worth of
bonds for them to redeem in about 1920,
IhiB would givo most of ub h clianco to
got out of IIke way beforo our generosity
would be full." appreciated by those who
would inherit this legacy. Let ub have
tho bonds issue d by all means.
Yours for

Rev. J. L. Jones cf the M. E. Church
couth, preached last Sunday evening
from the words: "And as Mcees
lifted up the ecrpent in the wilderness,
eo must the Son of man be lifted up that
whosoever believes on Him shall have
everlasting life.'" Mr. Joces said in
part:
"God sent very poisonous snakes
amongst the Isrealites to bite them be
cause ttioy murmured against closes tor
leading them into the wilderness away
from the tlesb pots of Egypt. But when
they began to die by the thousands from
the effects of the snake bites, tbey be
sought Mrees to stay the plague. So
Moses when ho saw that thev were re
pentant, prayed to God for relief.
God heard Iih prayer and told him what
to do. It was to make a snake of brass,
an exact image of the serpents that were
biting them and patting it on a long
pole, lifted it high up in tbe air so that
all the camp could see it, and cried out
to every one to look upon this brass
Enake, and as many as would look upon
it, who bad been bitten, they were m-
Etuntly restored free from all tbo
poisonous effects of tho snake's bite.
Thus fjith in Moses promises was what
did tho work destroyed tho poison of
the snakes. So likewise lojking up to
Christ who was lifted up on the croES
will Eave people new Irom their ems-
from eternal perdition. It is the act of
faith that makes the tinner whole
Mr. Jones dwelt upon Nicodemus
faith who went to Christ by night to en
quire of him about tbh saving business,
ivhen Christ declared to him the lan
gusge of the text, with the context.
After the sermon the ordinance of bap
tism was administered to Mies Pearl
Gordon, a young woman of about IS
years, daughter of our popular hotel
man, proprietor of the Central Hou9o.

The Plucky Bluejay.
My raspberry patch is 50 feet square,
surrounded by a wire fence. So many
birds make their home in the wooded
rooms within ten leet that is necessary
to protect this patch by netting, which is
supported by wire strung overhead
The net hangs over the fence three or
four feet. Occasionally a bird gets in
side, especially the bluejay. We catch
them and let them go unharmed. Yes
terday my man and mysell were near
and saw a bluejay in there with a ripe
ed raspberry in his bill, flattering
against the net, My man went inside
and chased him from one side to an
other three times and finally got his band
on him at where tho fence rail and net
met, but tho bird managed to slip
through hiB hands down between the
net and then outside the fence and
gained his liberty. All this time he
hung onto the berry and flew away with

School Again.
District school opened again today
and nn army of young folks were seen
marching to the temple cf knowledge
managed by professor F. B. Hamlin and
corps of excellent assistant teachers ; and
tho cood work iroes on of nuking good
and useful citizens out of as good mate
rial as exists in Douglas county. The
public schools of the state are doing the
grandest humanizing work of the ago
It is preparing tho rising generation for
usefulness, freo from stirring up political
or religious leelings in any. It deals
with the moral and intellectual natures
of the young. Tho teachers aro teach
ing what they know to be correct, rele
gatinc opinious aud theories to sectaries,
politicians and vnguo disturbers of pub;
lie sentiment. The oflico work of our
teachers is that of forming, strengthen
ing and directing the judgment of tho
youth of tho country in tho ways of
usefulness.
Edenbower Blossoms.
Last Thursday evening a party of
young people met at the home ot .Mrs
Givens to witness the departure of tho
old year and welcome with glad voices
the new. Numerous games, charades,
etc., were among tbe enjoyable features
of the evening, lasting until the reced
ing j ear was scircely discernab'.e in the
distance. Then our hostess brought
forth those dainties which are .'sure to
tempt theappetite, if not the judgment
of weak humanity. As food had many
times preserved our lives during the
past, wo ate with joy and cladness our
way into the new year. Our repast
finished each person responded to the
toast master's call with appropriate re
marks. Thus, after many resolutions
and admonitory speeches, the final
adieus wero said; and with merry hearts
and muddy feot, we homeward tripped
through the silent street.
