3 HOMES; LITTLE
T
A series of burglaries was re
ported in Salem, all of them In
residences, during tho early hours
of Sunday night. All so far report
ed to the police were prior to 9
o'clock. Tho police officers are at
work on tho cases today, but so
far are without a clew.
Aside from about $2 in nickels
and dimes taken from the home
of G. J. tiacke, 298 North 23rd
street, the thieves appear to have
taken nothing. This home was
ransacked between 2 and 7 o'clock
in the afternoon, entrance being
gained through the basement and
a woodlift.
The home of G. A. Miller, 2G0
Marion street, was entered by
means of a Jimmy used on a win
dow. Nothing was found to be
mi.sf-ing, nlthough the Intruders
made a thorough search.
The third homo entered was
that of II. G. Carl at 9G5 E street.
hieh was entered before 8 o'clock
Entrance was gained through the
basement and a door was pried
open wjth a screw driver. Nothing
was taken.
The fact that all of the burglar
ies happened within a vei-y few
hours, and that entrance in all
cases was similar, leads officers to
believe that the same Intruders op
erated !n nil three cases.
Claude Lewis of Silvcilon has
been-named by Sheriff O. D. Jlow
er as special deputy to collect de
linquent dog taxes for the present
year. Under the law a penalty
will attach to every license lax &o
collected.
A list prepared by County Clerk
Hoyer for the !;heriff based on re
turns of delinquents made by dep

tween 800 and 1U00 names of dog
owners who have not paid their
tax.

James Gibbs, 28, a mill worker
and Coos county homestender, (s
dead and Hymen Huntley, 68, a
laborer, is in the county Jail, as a
result of a slabbing affray here
early Sunday morning. Bad blood
over the attentions said to have

tal quarrel. H ant ley surrendered

in est will be held and a formal
barge filed against Huntley to
day.
According to the sheriff's rer
ion of the affair, the two men.
who are brothers-in-law, and their
families have been living in the
anie house. Gibbs had been cm-
ployed nights and sleeping days in
un adjoning she:!. The Iluntley.s
had been oourrt-ling and Gibbs
was blamed for the domestic
tornia.
Saturday night, a Itev, Dewey
onducted a prayer meeting at the
Huntley home. The prayer meet-
ng concluded about midnight.
The domestic trouble of the Hunt-
leys was a subject of discussion
ind the Kev. Dowey advised Mrs.
Tiuntley to pray alone, for peace
with her mate. In accordance
with the suggestion, Mrs. Huntley
is suld to have gone to the shed
where Gibbs was sleeping, and
knelt in prayer.
Huntley, according to the sher
iff, called the rest of the family
and went to the shed and cavcu-
dropprd. While this was going
m, Mrs. Huntley left and n quar
rel s'artrd with her husband. In
the course of the argument, Hunt
ley is alleged to have struck hi
wife in the face. Gibbs, awaken
ed by the hubbub, appeared on the
scene and took Huntley to task for
the attack. A fight started be
tween the two men and Huntley
stabbed Gibbs twelve times, It is
alleged.
