Tomorrow's Game With Albany is
' Openlns One of the Series.
The aggregation of players who strug
gle for gridiron honors for the OAC is a
formidable one and capable of giving a
good acconnt of itself.. This is the Con--'
elusion one must arrive at after watching
their work in the practice game With
Uie heavy weights from Old Willam
ette on the borne field-last Saturday.
Willamette had defeated Albany, which
takes itself quite seriously in the con
test for championship honors,- by a score
of 15 to 6, the preceding Saturday.
Her players were' nearly all experienced
men and it. was quite natural that with
a week's practice they ' should . put up a
fifty per cent, better game than they had
at. Albany, but at no stage of the
proceedings did they stand a ghost of
show to win.- OAC was playing her
first game of the season and her men
were nervous, but so. excellent was her
defense that WU - did not advance the.
ball to "exceed 50 'yards during- they en
tire game while the farmers showed what
they could do on the aggressive by fore
iog the ball the entire length of the field
tbiee times. There were no tncks nor
flukes; no ; grandstand individual plays
on the part of the farmers, but good
gteady football. It is true that the home
team's play lacked ginger, but the char
acter of their opponents .-was such' that
snappy work was not needed. Thurs
ton's brilliant, plunges at the finish of
the last half, showed what the team is
capable'of when occasion demands it,
Belt's pretty dash around the end for
30 yards, and Hall's plunges were the
only features to please the cranks in the
first half, but the evenness of team work
later on won their hearts for Stickney
One touchdown and no goal was OAC's
portion at the end of the first 20-minute
half, while Salem contented herself with
a goose egg and the satisfaction that the
ball was in -OAC territory when time
was called: ' The': second half added five
more points to OAC's credit and the
ball was within a foot of Salem's goal in

To be sure, she defeated Chemawa 29 to

Attorney Brown Will Appeal from Judge
Hamilton's "Decision.
v - Circuit court opened for business Monday-morning
with Judge "Hamilton in
his -proper place. A diveraioaat this
term. Of court was the absence of a gf9nd
jury, - A law passed at the last session oil 1
the legislature renders the empanneling
of a grand jury unnecessary. However,
one may be secared if parties demand it.
- The district attorney may use his own
discretion in finding indictments. -
' The only criminal cases "offered for the
consideration of the court were those ef
Taylor ; and Fleeee, w ha-were indicted
for obtaining money under' false pre
tenses from A. Wilhelm & Sons, of : Men-
roe. ; They were arraigned ., Monday.
They plead Tuesday," and their attor
neys E. L, Bryan and W. S. McFadden,
demurred to the indictment, on the
ground that the facts charged do not
constitute 'a crime. ..Argument was made
in the evening, and the decision of Judge
Hamilton: which was given' Wednesday
morning exposes, a serious flaw in. the
statutes of Oregon... 7 , " y
The indictment - in substance alleged
that Taylor and Fleece had sold to A,
Wilhelm & Sons bulks, bales and sacks
of -what they - represented --to be mer
chantable chittem . barkv-and nothing

a small quantity of chittam bark, the

the allegations were: true, under the
statutes of Oregon, so 'crime had been
committed. If I ask for., bread and you
give me a stone, my confidence ia you
may be shaken, but you are guilty of no
offence. ' The point is here : If a persod
obtain money from another by willful
misrepresentation he has committed
crime-by obtaining money under false
pretenses. But no oral, eyidence of his
guilt can be admitted by the court. The
evidence of his guilt must be represented
by a token j which in law,Js defined as a
sign or symbol; and in tnis case-no
writing was ' in -. -: evidence. Attorney
Brown contended that the bales and
sacks with- their contents, sold by
Fleece and' Tayldr were' in .themselves
tokens in that they represented or pre
tended to' represent another thing. . If
the point - at issue were .the quality of
the. article sold there would be no token.
That is, if the defendants had delivered
chittem J ba rk to Wilhelm & Sons which
they Represented to be first-class chittem
bark, ' but : which, proved ...-to
be of inferior quality, there
would be no case against .them. But if
the article sold was a substance entirely
foreign to what it was' represented to be,
it stood as a token and should be ad
mitted as evidence"' " y .
- The point is a fine one 'and it is possi
ble that the higher courts may have a
tilt with it- The witnesses and jurors in
in the case-have been dismissed. The
expense to the ..county has been consid
