Bicycles are a good thing in more ways than two, but he who. rides a "silent steed" should at all times exercise a little caution.

Mr. Flynn has a fine tim ber claim about 14 miles west of Corvallis, and he is making ar rangements to build a mill on this property at the head of Greasy. This wilHiave a capacity of 30,000. Mr. Flynn has been engaged in the; lumbering business all his life. His mill wil turn out yellow fir and some cedar.

He will ship the product of his mill to Corvailis and other' points over the O. & E. j Charles ("Sandy") Olds, the well-known gambler and sport ing man of Portland, who was twice Sentenced to death for the killing of Etnil Weber, some 12 j years ago, and finally escaped with one year's imprisonment, died early Tuesday morning at his residence, 255 Clackamas street on the East Side. Five weeks ago Olds suffered a serious stroks of paralysis in San Fran cisco, from the .effects of which he never recovered and which was the direct cause of his death He was brought at once to Port land, and for four weeks has been lying totally paralyzed, an inarticulate "no" being the only sound that he could utter. Olds' first and second trials resulted in verdicts of murder in the first degree. The trials were the most sensational in the criminal history-of Oregon. A Valuable Invention. About a month ago it was re marked by the knowing ones that Dilley-. "the ."fixer,"' was fixing something considerably out of the usual order of things that need fixing. The facts in the case have all come to light and it appears that Mr.Dilley was making a model of a turn table for T. F. Langely, the in ventor. Mr. Langeley is a practical railroad man and. has for a long time been engaged in solving the; problem of a turn-table that will be of particular value in taking a loaded hand car from the main line without unloading the.car, and it is of a principle that will be practical for larger tables. The drawing was made by E. F. Bryan, and some few weeks ago the drawing and model were sent East to Munn & Co., publishers of the Scientific American, at New York city. A couple of days ago Nr. Laagely received a very encour aging report from the Scientific American people, who state that the invention is patentable and from an examination of the records it is shown that there is nothing patented that covers this particular field. Muna & Ca. will proceed to secure z patent for Mr. Langely. Some of the best mechanics and machinists in Corvallis have examined the invention and are loud in their praise of the novel turn-table. Mr. Dilley says it is the most meritorious invention that he has ye made a model of, and he predicts that it will at tract the railroad men to its use. Before Judge Greffoz. A case which attracted numer ous spectators and made work for the lawyers, was tried be fore Police Judge Greffoz yester day. The City of Corvallis ap peared as plaintiff, and Lee Den, a Chinaman, as defendant. Lee Den was arrested upon complaint of Chief Flett for permitting an habitually vicious dog to rnn at large. Matty witnesses were in troduced by both sides. The city attempted to show by the evidence of Mrs. Broders, Lee Henkle, H. L. Martin, Mr. Gleason and others, that the dog was vicious. Mrs. Broders testified that the animal had thrown her ckild " down and would have bitten it, but for in terference, and her evidence was strongly corroborated. Mr. Glea son stated that the animal had attacked him. The defense in troduced P. Avery, Adam Assell and Ned Smith, who have had occasion to pass the animal often, to prove that it was not vicious-. The defense also claimed that the dog was not the property of Lee Den, and. that gentleman and Sam, another Chinaman, swore to this effect. Chief Flett, how ever stated that Den had acknowl edged ownership. - The jury consisted of John Bier, Wm. Crees, T. W. Dilly; S. N. Wilkins, W. P. Lafferty and W. T. Small. Tomorrow's Great Game.
