. Chester Keady, hi) 18 year-old Corval
lis boy. cot, on u drunk Saturday night
and shot Niaht Watchman Osbnrn and
and ex Sheriff Dunn. The latter ex
pirod Tuesday. Osbnrn may live. As
he fell, Dunn shot Kendy through the
lieart. 'A bullet from Sheriff Burnett's
revolver passed through the young des
perado's fnce, but the wound would
probnbly not have been fatal.
The trouble is only what can be ex
pected in a community where boys are
able to obtain liquor and permitted to
Carry fire-arms. This dispatch from
Albany to the Portland Journal con
tains pointers worthy the consideration
of the law-abiding citizens of every
community:
J "The htory of the shooting in Corval
Jis, that resulted in the death of the
vrmiricr mnn ronnniiuiri u r.u t laimmpuu u
and in the dahgerous wounding of two
officers, created intense excitement in
) his city, where all parties are well
known. It's the old story boy whis
ky and gun. There is a growing tend
ency among the youth of a number of
the valley towns to carry pistols and
defy the police. Corvallis Is one of
these towns, and the result of this
habit is the tragedj of Saturday night.
Similar conditions exist in Albany.
There are eaid to be a uumberof smart
youths here who habitually carry pis
tols, and it is a known fact that indip.
criminate shooting of firearms at night
has disturbed certain portions of this
pity recently. Only last week a shot,
tired in the rear of a house in the heart
of this city, frightened a poor woman
badly, and it is now positively known
that a certain smart youth of the pistol
carrying class fired the shot for the sole
I purpose of frightening what he sup
. posed was a girl w ho was alone in the
'. house.
"It has been suggested that young
men suspected of carrying weapons be
searched, aud if found armed unless
good reasons can be given why they
should be allowed to continue to carry
weapons -they be prosecuted. This
affair in Corvallis is liable to bring
' about action here looking to the dis-
aiming of the 'kids' carrying guu9 in
Albany. Aud similar step9 would be
; advif-able in other places."
Taxpaying Candidates.
A couple of Tub Leader's sleepy con
temporaries seem to be advocating the
election of R N. Warnock, Democratic
candidate for Sheriff, mainly because
lie is a taxpayer. Bob is a taxpayer all
right enough, but there are others.
Here is what the assessment roll re
veals :
Taxes of R. N. Warnock $32.38
Taxes of J. H. Boss 34.78
Of course, we expect this little item
from the records will disappoint a few
of the chief knockers, aud they will
whisper around in remote parts of the
county that it is a campaign lie just
as they would have the voters believe
tho lat scmi-nnnual statement of the
county officials isa campaign lie. lion

curing a regular cteauier to run iu and

hardly be local business enough to jus

The Howler's Endorsement.
The Newport Newsance warmly en
dorses Ira Wade, but still warns its 11
readers that the last semi-annual state
ment as to the financial condition of
Lincoln county may be false. As Ira
certifies that it is "a true and correct
statement," we have here another glit
tering exhibition of the consistency of
the Yaquina Bay Newsauce.
Any citizen who is willing to accept
the report of Export J. H. Wilson, filed
September 1G, 1901, may easily examine
the records from that date, or get
some one to do it for him, aud ascer
tain for himself the amount of warrants
issued and paid to April 1, 1904, the
date of the last semi-annual statement
of County Clerk Wade.
As every man knows who knows even
a little bit, Sheriff Ross has nothing
whatever to do with the semi-annual
fiuaucial statements of the county,
and knows absolutely nothing about
them. It is a matter separate and dis
tinct from the duties of the Sheriff,
the Clerk alone boing responsible there
tor. Matthews is such a loyal friend of
Lincoln County that he cannot avoid
showing disappointment because it is
not completely smothered under a
rapidly increasing debt, thus making
good the calamity howl which he has
bceu pouring into his 11 readers during
the past four or five years.
Too statement of County Clerk
Wade is correct and open for examin
ation, and that olQcial will take pleas
ure in placiug the records of his office
iu the hands of any taxpayer who may
call aDd ask to see them. The same is
truoof the books of County Treasurer
Hyde. Further, let it be remembered
that these officials are under tho best
bond that can be secured, and proof
that they are dishonest or derelict in
the discbarge of their duties will result
in recovery from their bondsmen. These
howUrs should either produce some
thing substantial to back their talk or
gracefully close up and take a beat in
the rear of the auditorium.

About twenty of the young peoplo of
Toledo celebrated Willie Franklin's 16th
birthday Tuesday night by making him
the victim of a genuine surprise party.
One of the best times on record is re
ported, au abundance of ice cream aud
cake contributing largely to the success
of the affair. The cake, it is said, wag
especially deserving of attention, for it
was made by the girls present, and tbo
boys think it just a little better than
the girls' mothers could make. The
good time lasted until the early hours
of Wednesday morning.
Sheriff Ross arrested Wednesday at
Wrens George DeBois, Father of ' Irwin
Debois, the young man whom he ar
rested last week for looting a cottage at

elder DeBois left Newport Sunday and
was traveling afoot toward the valley.

entitled.

the party was increased by Assessor
aud Mrs. R. II. Howell, Dr. Hendry re
maining in Newport, his home. Cup
McCaulou reports a pleasant trip, with
do deadheads or stowaways aboard.
Tho new planer was installed in Al-
tree's mill this week. Oliver informs
