Some mischievous boys have been
fruiltv of misdemeanors In t.ho west

David Keen, who will be remeni
bered by bur citizens as the poor
cripple who earned a livelihood
hereabouts last spring sawing wood,
was robbed ot $40 at his home in
Forest Grove last Saturday night.
He put his money, $40.56, into the
toe of one of his shoes and placed
it on his back porch for safe keep'
ing. To bis surprise, when he went
for the money, he found only 56
cents, and a note which read: "I
will divide, nice moonshine, good
bye." The thief also took, a GAR

Christmas Eve the express office
at Philomath was broken into By
parties in search of treasure. - Miss
Florence Akin is agent there and,
at her request, the company had
relieved her for a brief vacation
during the holidays and a person
was installed in her place durinst
her absence. While She was away
the thief, or thelves, broke in
through a window in the office and
succeeded in burstlfig the safe open.
everything about tbe office was
ransaoked, and for all of this trou
ble and risk they were rewarded
with three cents three insienifi-
cant cents. While 'nothing serious
resulted from this attempted rob
bery, it demonstrates that surpris
ing things occur even in quiet
places and it may be as well for the
citizens of this city to keep their
back doors locked.
The Macoy Comedy Co. closed a
three-night engagement at ' the
Opera House, Saturday evening.
Considering the prices charged, the
company gives a very good enter
tainment. The first night's bill,
"An American in Cuba," is an un-r
fortunate selection. While : the
play itself has considerable merit,
it exposes all; the weak points in
the company, and shows " every
player to disadvantage. "The
Black Flag" is better adapted to
the cast, Mr. Seeley being at; his
best in this production, while Miss
Sutton and Mr. Bassett appear to
good advantage. N"The Circus
Girl," which is really our old friend,'
"Arabian flights," gives the com!
pany its best opportunity,' and if
a repertory of plays-of this caliber
were offered, ' the management
would meet with greater success
both with productions and at the
box office. " - -" '.

An - early - morning runaway

A $1,600 Blow-Up.
Manager Strong oMha Corval
lia Sawmill Co., tells a. rather
amusing little incident that hap
pened recently at Dilley, where
his son, Harold, is managing the
mui recently purchased bv the
company. A dam had been
built in 4he Tualatm river at
that point, and the farmers of
the vicinity believing that their
property was being damaged by
the overflow oaused by the dam,
decided to buy that obstacle,
which they did, paying $r,6oo
for it. It was their intention to
have it removed, bit Mr. Strong
objected as its- presence was
necessary to provide water for
floating logs. B constant vig
ilance, Harold prevented the
purchasers from destroying the
dam, but basiness in CorvaUis
compelled him to be absent a few
days and while ha was away,
someone blew the dam np with
dynamite. While some inrvm-
venienee will be experienced at
present the mill company will
not suffer much as thev intend
moving their plant to Dallas,
shortly. The farmers claimed
that the dam caused nronertv to
be flooded as far up as Wapato
laice, a distance oi some twenty
miles.

An article published in this
paper a couple of weeks ago, has'
oeen copiea.quite generally, by the
press of the state, and a desire has
been expressed by numerous papers
for the name of the hero of the
story. The Independence West
Side has this to say in ah incredu
lous vein:
"The Coevallis Gazette, last
week, spun a niee little story about
a young man who commenced life
in that burg by handling a saw
buck and was later a justice in the
supreme court. The story is nicely
told, the only thing -lacking being
the gentleman's name."
