Some one awfered the Palm Mon day nlghLrfffnd stole a 45-callbre Colt which had been hanging on vall In the little candy kitchen to the rear of the parlor. Entrance was made through one of the win dows on the west side of the parlor by lowering It from the top. It was necessary to remove several nails to lower the window. Nothing but the gun has been missed, although a careful search has not been made. Tho thief left everything Intact and lor that reason the absence of tho gun was not noticed until late last night. When Mr. Stafford arrived to open up early yesterday morning ho noticed the window was down, but tho undisturbed condition of the stock caused him to believe that tho lowering of the window had been accidental.

The only evidence to the contrary Is that Grimes purchased a round trip ticket. Under any circumstances he will remain in Oregon until next fall. "Tho going away of William Grimes is a distinct loss to tho Re publican party in Oklahoma, espec ially at a tlmo when every possible source of strength must be drawn upon In its fight for supremacy un der statehood. Tho outlook is for lorn, even to the most hopeful Re publican. No Republican in the proposed new state holds to a greater degree than Grimes the con fidence of Republicans of all fac tions. He was unequivocal in his statements to opponents as well as to friends, had positive and aggres sive political policies, and in all the years that Oklahoma has had exist ence ho demonstrated his ability as an organizer and manager. Ho was Intensely Interested in all public questions, and unable to stand merely as a spectator when there was a contest over matters that in volved public welfare, much to the regret of Mrs. Grimes, who disliked tho turmoil of politics and preferred that her husband should not bo on grossed ill it. He was just to his enemies, and prompt to criticise the mistakes of his friends."

J. A. OUCclly has his fine new launch "Bonita" on tho regular run between Marshfleld and North Bend in conjunction with his launch North Bend, and while the new boat Is not yet Umbered up, it is doing the. dis tance in good time. Mr. O'Kelly had tho boat built at Max Timmerman's boat building works, and she is de signed on lines which it is thought will make her the fastest boat on tho bay. The craft is 48 feet 3 Inches long, 9 foot beam and 4 feet depth of hold, fitted with a 30-horse-power four-cycle Holllday gasoline engine, which Is the only engine of that make and size on the bay. A decidedly nice feature about the boat, and one which Is new, is a fresh water supply for the engine furnished by a keel condenser. This Is to save wear on the engine, as the fresh water is not so hard on the working parts as salt water. The workmanship on tho boat Is elegant, the cabin being finished in natural wood. It presents a hand some appearange. Tho seating ar rangement is also an innovation. In stead of having them placedaround tho sides they are put back to back down tho center, giving more room and making it more comfortable for the passengers. In the forward end of the cabin a nicely upholstered settee has been arranged. A small cabin has also been placed forward for tho use of men who caro to smoke. A roomy pilot house is con structed between the two cabins. On the Fourth of July Mr. Kelly will have three boats on the run be tween Marshfleld and North Bend, giving a fifteen-minute service. The "Bonita," North Bend and Monlinta .will be in service. BANDON LAUNCHED. Boat AVill Handle Freight From Co quille River.

The Ban don is of special build to handle froight into tho mouth of tho Co quille river, and will be operated regularly between San Francisco and that port. Captain Jensen, formerly of tho steamer Elizabeth, plying be tween Bandon and San Francisco, will have charge of the new vessel. Ho has been supervising the construction of the boat for the owners, A. F. Esterbrook, of San Francisco. Tho vessel has twin screws and will carry 400,000 feet of lumber loaded. The Risdon Iron Works, of San Fran cisco, has the contract for Installing her machinery, which will be put in after sho has been loaded with lum ber and taken down. BOAT INSPECTORS COMING. Will Make Thorough Investigation of Local Craft. The steamer Flyer was off the run between Marshfleld and North Bend yesterday on account of a few minor details that needed attention before tho Inspectors arrive hero for tho semi-annual Inspection. Fuller and Edwards are inspectors for this district and are expected hero July 4 or 5 from tho Siuslaw. From Coos Bay they will continue to tho Coquille river. Not only tho steam but tho gasolino boats aro in spected twice a year, tho latter to see that proper precautions havo been taken regarding life preservers, licensed engineers, whistles, lights, etc. Tho steam vessels aro tested as to their steaming power, the Flyer hav ing to stand a hydraulic test of 142 pounds to tho squaro inch or an equivalent of 95 pounds steam prossuro. All tests aro mado by hydraulic pressure. ALLIANCH COMING. Tho stoamor Alliance will nrrlvo horo j Friday this weok instead of on Saturday, as heretofore.

This game is not on the schedule but is being played for a side purse of $100 in addition to a division of the gate receipts; GO per cent to tho winners, 40 per cent to the losers.

Tho team from the city by the sea v.-na however in no wise to blame for the catastrophe, as owing to sickness only Ave of tho regular men were on the team that camo to Coquille. Tho pitcher was also absent and this mado a material difference. Tho baseball game Sunday after noon on tho Marshfleld grounds be tween tho High School and the Junior Independents was marked by specatcular fielding and promiscu ous batting. Both teams hit tho ball for one, two and three baggers and sometimes for home runs. Pitchers were changed several times. The Junior Independents came out vic torious by a score of fourteen to six. INDEPENDENTS WINNERS. Tho ball game played on tho local grounds Sunday foronoon between tho team from tho Bay City mill and an independent team composed of Marshfleld ball tossers, was won by tho Independents.

J. Simpson While Away Recently Places $50,000 Worth of Electric Slock R0SEBURG SENTIMENT Finds People There In Hearty Favor of Project Action on Coos Bay. L. J. Simpson, who has recently returned from a trip to Portlaud and through the State of Oregon In tho Interest of tho Douglas-Coos electric road, stated yesterday in an Inter view with a Times representative that ho had placed ?50,000 worth of tho stock In that road, tho deal being consummated onN tho understanding that tho cities In Coos county would raise the remainder of tho $125,000 which they have agreed In the under standing with tho Rosoburg people. Mr. Simpson spent some tlmo In IRoseburg, and says that he found the people there to be In hearty favor of .the proposed railroad with the Coos 'Bay terminus. Ho believes that pre- mature statements published in cer tain papers of that city have resulted In injury to tho proposed road In many different ways. With concer ted action on the part of Coos Bay cities and sister towns throughout tho country the mayor of North Bend is of the opinion that the road to Roseburg will be built. E AT UNDERSTANDING Beilha Lurch Transfers To Alleged Husband $6,000 Worth of Property and Papers According to the Oregonion, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon will in tho future live In peace, though not in unison. Bertha Lurch has promised to bo I good, her reasons being an agree ment on Mr. Gordon's part to pay all her debts. The Oregonian says: "Edward Sam Gordon, who is re puted to be a wealthy Coos Bay lum berman, and his divorced wife, who travels under the name of Miss Ber tha Lurch, this atternoon adjusted, their troubles arising from tho suit instituted several weeks ago by Gor don against Miss Lurch. "Gordon alleged that tho woman was nothing to him, that she falsely claimed to be his wife and under this guise attempted to obtain a share of his property. He endeavored to secure a decree from the courts for ever barrlug her from any right to his lands. Miss Lurch camo back anf bitterly resisted tho suit, alleging i that she was married to Gordon In 'Vancouver, Wash., but Gordon stated that another man impersonated him at the ceremony. "Gordon's suit was finally with drawn and he allowed tho woman to file a suit for divorce, making no con test and agreeing to give her prop erty valued at SG.000. Before the deeds were transferred another wo man appeared on tho scene and claimed she was Gordon's wife by a previous marriago and intimated that she would bring a bigamy -charge against him. Investigations were at once instituted and it was ascertained that the strang9 woman had no foundation on which to rest her case; that sho had never seen Gordon and that she was probably attempting to extort money from, him. Sho finally disappeared. "This afternoon Miss Lurch gave Gordon a quit-claim deed to his propr erty, and papers transferring to her ?6,000 worth of real estate were turned over to Gordon, who will hold them In trust until the dobts that Miss Lurch has piled up against him can be liquidated. Sho will then re ceive tho balance that remains." SUNDAY, JUNE .10, 1007. h. - tnuirTjimj jwly atn .ompany Tragedy tfe dL0 Feet t - . y' ILJiRS f : 3 kaLsT If' w
