been spending several days at his
old home at Scio. When Dilley
came to Corvallis he was a sufferer

ing on the Zahn place, iust beyond
Alsea Mountain, Carl Hodes, 01

turned home Sunday. Lots of fish,
but no deer, is the report of their
spokesman. The party had one
thrilling experience. Hogs got in
to camp and ate up all their food,
and but for the presence of mind of
one of their number, who walked
five miles to obtain a fresh supply,
all hands might have starved.

A Soldier Tells What Our Beys Are Doing
in the Philippines.
Ben Goodwin, of this county,
who served through the war
with Co. M, 2nd Oregon, is now
a sergeant in Co. K, 40th Regt.
U. S. V. In a recent letter to
H. L. Holgate, which Mr. Hol
gate sends to the Gazette from
Washington, D. C, he describes
some of his experiences with his
new regiment 01 wnicn lie is
justly proud. Mr. Holgate sug
gests that Ben would doubtless
highly appreciate it if his Co. M.
(2nd Ore.) comrades would send
him greetings and news from
homeland. A portion of Ser
geant Goodwin's letter follows:
Cagayan, Mindanao.
You will doubtless be inter
ested in the soldiers' news from
here the most southern island
of the Philippine group. We
are about 1,000 miles from Man
ila. I will toll you a little of
our fighting. We left Manila
February 15th, bound for South
ern Gamerins, a province of
Southern Luzon, and arrived off
the coast of our destination Feb
ruary 20th. We landed, but
what a landing it was! The
transport was compelled to anch
or more than a mile from shore
at hiffh tide. The soldiers were
then put aboard the small life
boats and started landward, but
before we reached the solid shore
the tide went out so fast that we
were compelled to abandon the
boats and wade through the mud
and water. I hardly know hew
we succeeded in making any
headway a: all through that
mire, for we sank in until it cov
ered our cartridge belts. The
mud was as thick as printers'
paste, but w struggled through
it and in the face of a terrible
rifle fire poured at us by the in
surrectos on the shore..
We reacned land wnere we
had to combat the rebels hand to
hand, for our ammunition, thick
ly coated with mud, was useless.
However, we drove them hack,
until we reached a small stream,
where we took off our cartridge
belts and washed them. Re
placing them in our belts, we
pushed forward, entertaining the
"goo-goos" with Krag music.
With empty stomachs we pushed,
scrambled, and fell through the
heavy bush which afforded the
enemy sucn excellent sneiier.
Major Case, formerly captain of
Co. F, 2nd Oregon Vols., was in
command and he certainly did
the work nobly. -
The Third Battalion steadily
worked its way up to the town of
Nueva Caseris, which has been
one of the worst hot-beds of re
bellion on the island, while the
45th Infantry, which had been
landed further up the bay, swung
around between the high hills
and the town to cut off the re
treat of the rebel soldiers. When
their movement had been ac
complished- we opened up a
heavy fire on the long line ot in
surgent earthworks. The insur
gents made a good stand, killing
and wounding several of our
boys, but fell back just as our
fellows were about to charge
bayonets on the trenches. When
we entered the town we tound
their dead lying in heaps of
ten and twenty and the build
ings were badly damaged. The
scene presented to ts was a ter
rible one.
The soldiers were soon at work
cleaning up the town, putting
buildings in repair, and policing
the streets. The 40th remained
on guard here until March 24th,
when our regiment boarded
transports and steamed south
ward to this island of Mindanao.
The first port to be opened
was Surige, where we met with
no resistance. Two hundred armed
soldiers cheerfully gave up their
guns to Major Case, who was
the first to land and treat with
the natives. They received him
royally and seemed to be very
favorably impressed with , him
and the "terms of agreement he
presented. Company B then
went ashore and took possession
of the town, under command of
Capt. Hendricks. Major Case
then came aboard and we
steamed on.
The next place to be visited
was Cagayan. The natives here
were averse to giving up their
"holy possessions" but made no
forcible resistence and the town
was soon under American rule,
'tne native soldiers fleeing to the
hills when they sighted our trans
ports. The third battalion 40th
infantry, under Major Case and
consists of companies I , K, L
and M. The other companies of
the regiment went to garrison
little towns, along the coast,
which were peaceful and which
still are.
The insurrectos here, Uowe irer,
I attacked us one night taking us
by'surprise and succeeded in do
ing some of our boys, but were
speedily driven back to the hills.
After that all was quiet until
May 1 5th when companies I and
K were ordered out to explore
the country east and along the
coast from Pagayau. Thev had
not marched ten miles before
they were fired upon by insur
rectos stationed on a high hill.
The two companies were then
deployed as skirmishers and a
line f men reached nearly
around the hill. Then the com
panies under command of Cap
tains Elliott and France began
to advance toward the top of
the hill. Bugler Hank blew
"charge!" and the 40th lads had
another opportunity for showing
their grit and coolness. The
hill was as steep as a house roof
and th enemy kept up a con
stant fire, but up our fellows
scrambled and soon were in com
mand of the hill and the enemy.
Three cheers were given for
American ' 'get-there-iness' ' and
we looked after our fallen foe
men. Over seventy-five lay dead
and a large number were woun
ded. The former were buried on
the hill-top and the wounded
were taken to the hospital At
Pagayau. Our loss was two
killed and five wounded.
All is quiet at present and the
outlook is very favorable.
B. M. Goodwin.
ATTEMPTED JAIL BREAK.
An Indignant Farmer.
The Gazette is in receipt of
the following heated article from
a justly indignant resident of
Granger, with the Tequest that it
be given publication:
Editor Gazette: If there
is anything more fiendish than
the desire to annoy others who
have done nothing to merit it,
who are perhaps in their beds
and asleep in fact, that is a
favorite time with such mis
creants it would be difficult
to say what it is. This spirit,
probably leads to every crime,
yet the indulgence in it to a cer
tain or rather uncertain extent
is excusable as playfulness.
A dozen or more young men
and women aroused us from our
slumbers about 10 o'clock Tues
day night, by yells at each house
they passed until they reached
our place, at which they stopped
and gave us old folks old
enough to be grand-parents of
any of them all of the various
yells and screeches interspersed
with smart aleck calls, which
their small brains could com
mand for ten minutes or more.
They wanted nothing but to in
sult, disturb and annoy all per
sons living on the road If coun
try people would do that way in
town they would be arrested and
fined, and justlv, too: but be
cause an. officer is not at hand in
the loountry, such things can be
done without fear of punishment,
because the law would not take
cognizance of such conduct, we
will try and see if we cannot de
fend ourselves some way.

Ran Away.
Early Sunday morning, Bert
Modi, while driving with a bug
gy team of W. McMahon's, near
the Stewart place, the horses
shied at a band of sheep and Mr.
Modi was thrown out. The ream
got away from him and came
tearing to town. They ran into
the stable, and passing straight
through it, took the road to the
O. A. C. On arriving at the
college farm, thev tore about it
like mad, jumping the big drain
ditch a couple ot times taking
the buggy with them. Then
they struck the little race course
and indulged in a couple of spins
around the track. From the
track they ran in behind the Ar-
mory, thence around bade pi tne
executive building, where they
were captured. Strange to re
late, there was little or no dam
age done. '

Henry Kuebli Seeks to Obtain Hi Free
dom by Demolishing His Cage
An unsuccessful attempt at jail
breaking was made Saturday night
by Henry Jvuebli, who has been a
guest of Benton county against his
will since Jast May. lie has tor slj
cell mate a gentleman by the name
of Pryor, who is awaitiDg trial on a
charge of burglary. Pryor, who
seems to be much in dread of Kuebli
gave a note to H. L. Martin when
that gentleman went in to give the
prisoners their supper Saturday
evening. The note was addressed
to Sheriff Burnett, and warned him
that Kuebli intended to break jail
that night. Mr. Martin together
with Asa Alexauder watched the
jail until ten o'clock and hearing no
disturbance, went home.
An hour later Georg Denman
and Ivan Daniel stood talking
on the corner near the jail, when
their attention was called o much
hammering within that building.
They speedily notified Mr. Martin,
Nigntwatchman Wells and Samp
Henderson, who was acting as dep
uty in the absence of Sheriff Bur
nett, and together with Mr. Howell
and son. Frank, they bore down
on the county bastile.
On entering it was diseovered
that Kuebli had made a fire out of
some paper and a portion of the
jail furniture and was in the act of
consigning a heavy mattress to the
flames. The prisoner's intention
seems to have been to heat the
bars of the cage red hot and break
them with an old hatchet which
had come into his possession some
how. He had succeeded in start
ing one of the hinges on the door to
the cage, but these structures are
so made that it is almost impossi
ble to break out of them. When
discovered Kuebli layed dewn on
his bunk and not a word could be
gotten from him . Pryor passed a
note to one of the party asking that
the hatchet be taken from Kuebli
and saying that he feared him.
May 10th last, Kuebli stole the
team and wagon of Mrs. S. A.
Cooper, which was hitched to a
rack at Wade's corner, and drove
into Marion county, where he was
overtaken the next morning and
brought back. He was given a
hearing before J ustice Holgate, and
was bound over in the sum of $300
for his appearance at the November
term of court, in default of which
he was lodged in jail.
Married.
At Albany, on Sunday afternoon
July 22, Rev. E. J. Thompson of
this city officiating, J. R. Cooly
and Miss Jessie V. Cox were united
in wedlock.
Miss Cox until a recent date re
sided in Corvallis. Both of the
young people are graduates of the
O A C and are very highly re
spected in this community. The
wedding was a delightful home af
fair. Very few invited guests were
S resent, among whom was Miss
innie Burnett, of this city. After
a most delicious wedding lunch Mr.
and Mrs. Cooly departed for
Brownsville, their future home,
where Mr. Cooly is secretary of the
Eagle Woolen Mill Company. A
host of Corvallis friends congratu
late them.
Additional Local
