at Stayton, July 26 to 30, will feature a contest to chose a Jack of
he Beanstalk for small boys between the ages of six and eight
years.
Rules of the contest, accord

willing, interested and cooper
ative and he should be free to
take part in all activities and

Contestants will not be re
quired to sell tickets. The tickets
are for festival awards and will
sell at 50 cents each. Ticket
stubs will have a blank space
for contestant's name and each
ticket represents one vote.
The contestant with the most
votes will be recognized as Jack

festival and receive numerous
prizes. Candidates must have
been entered by June 25, and
tickets must be turned in by
noon, July 20, daylight saving
time. These tickets may be
secured at the Stayton Variety
store.
Jack's costume will consist of
a green Robin Hood cap, with
a red feather, green pullover
shirt, green tight long pants,
green long pointed shoes, leather
belt (wide with big buckle) and
green cape.
Candidates for Jack will visit
the parades of other celebrations
in neighboring towns, to adver

Two organizations have al
ready signified their intention
of sponsoring a candidate for the
contest and it is hoped others
will soon make known their
plans.

Bad Time for Daddy Mallard
With Wives, Family, and Rival
Lebanon There is domestic strife in the duck colony in
habiting the waters of the Crown Zellerbach paper mill canal
and settling pond. Principals in the conflict are a white Pekin
drake and hen, two mallard hens and one mallard drake.
The white Pekin hen, sitting on her eggs in a nest along
the bank, takes no active part in the battle, but her drake,
inattentive to his home duties, spends his time trying to play
papa to the 17 ducklings recently hatched by the two mallard
hens.
His attentions are resented by the bigamous mallard drake
who intercepts every attempted raid on his household with
flapping wings and raucous cries.
The 17 ducklings are a handful since they maneuver in
the fast water of the canal with skill, and skitter about so
rapidly that the barrassed mallard drake is kept constantly
on the move.
The two mallard mamas would each like to claim all the
youngsters, and occasionally one gets them all corralled,
adding further discord to family relations.
All in all, Daddy Mallard is having a bad time with his two
wives, 17 children and ambitious rivals seeking to share his
glory. 1
Paper-mill employes, going back and forth to work, scatter
food on the troubled waters and watch over Mama White
Pekin, sitting placidly on her nest 1 There is speculation as to
what new set of complications will, be released after the
hatching of her broody

magazine.
The story was that of Lottie
Hiatt, an attractive divorcee,
who lived with her mother,
Grandma" Holman. While pre
paring supper one evening as
her mother was reading the
newspaper in the living room,
the mother was attracted to the
sound of voices in the kitchen
and believed a neighbor had
dropped in. She was alarmed
when she heard her daughter
scream.
Just as she reached the kitch
en door she saw her daughter
dash out the back door pursued
by a man with a gun in his hand.
The daughter reappeared in the
kitchen, followed by the man,
who shot her in the head, and
turned on the mother, striking
her over the head with the butt
of the pistol.
"Grandma" Holman ran down
the hill to the store, which stood
at the right hand approach to
the bridge across Thomas creek,
for aid. Louis Trask was the
owner of the store and he went
to the aid of the elderly woman.
Trask was an uncle of Loris
Trask who lives in Stayton.
Trask's first act was to seek
out Thurston Thomas and dis
patch him on his racing pony
to Stayton to get Dr. Kitchen
to aid the injured woman, after
Grandma" Holman had poured
out the story.
"Book Agent" Armed
Lottie Hiatt lingered for nine
days, recovering consciousness
long enough to say that a book
agent had appeared at the kitch
en door and asked to show the
books he was offering for sale.
On being admitted to the kitch
en, instead of drawing the books
from his satchel, he drew a gun.
A book agent had been working
in the area during the past few
days.
A suspect was located at Mill
City, but stoutly maintained his
innocence. It wasn't until Sher
iff William Brenner searched a
strip of woods below the Hol
man property that he noticed a
plank across the stream where
none had been before. Search
ing for tracks of the killer, the
sheriff discovered instead a
false mustache caught In the
reeds at the water's edge. Furth
er investigation revealed a pair
of fake eyeglasses.
Subsequent work on the case
revealed that a variety store at
Scio had sold the fake articles
to a woman who had ridden into
Scio on horseback about 3:30
p. m. of the day of the shooting.
When a description of the wom
an was relayed to Mrs. Holman,
she said it sounded like a neigh-
boi woman, Mrs. Emma Han
nah, on whose farm the mother
and daughter had worked in the
hopyards.
Life Term Given
Confronted with the clothes
she wore while impersonating
the book agent, Mrs. Hannah
still denied any knowledge of
the crime. Indicted on a charge
of first-degree murder with a
subsequent plea of not guilty,
the 45-year-old nousewife went
to trial in Linn county court on
November 25, 1895, the state
contending jealousy of fancied
attentions of the divorcee to her
nusband, had been the motive.
She had plotted the murder us
ing the disguise to direct suspi
cion on the book agent.
A verdict of second-degree
murder was brought in by the
jury and Mrs. Hannah was sen
tenced to life Imprisonment in
the Oregon state penitentiary in
Salem. She was later transfer-

I Made the Grade
Yep! I got that position I mentioned in
last Saturday's ad. Mr. Larsen of Larsen
Home & Loan Co. came into the restaur
ant, ate a KING SIZE order of our FAM
OUS ROYAL FISH 'n' CHIPS. He was
so delighted with our GOOD FOOD he
offered me a position right on the spot,
he figures any man who is as anxious to
properly serve his customers as I am
would make a heck of a good real estate salesman. So,
I'm in. I understand we have a complete list of fine prop
erties for sale and we will be glad to list yours if it is on
the market. Our phone number is 3-8389.
Don't think for a minute that I've been relieved of all of
my restaurant duties. Heck, no. There's still a lot of fish
to cut, potatoes to peel, and a lot of dishes to wash. I am
elected to be the extra help, which means I'll be on duty
at the restaurant evenings. Wotta life.
I see by the newspapers some of the boys have been serv
ing horse meat in some of the Portland restaurants. Be
thankful you live in Salem, we Salem restaurant owners,
may be having a hard time to make ends meet, but not
that hard. We are all lovers of a good horse and to take a
faithful steed, who has toiled all his life pulling a plow
or carrying his proud owner in numerous parades and show
rings, and then when he gets too old to do his stuff, cast
him off to be cut up into steaks and such and fed to the
unsuspecting public well, we Salem boys just won't do it.
So long until next Saturday,
CLAUDE.
